These were the lines last time they played these teams
@ tor -5
@ bos -5
@ cleveland (they were -12 vs cleve @ home now Irving is out)
det -9.5
charlotte -14
@ orlando -9.5
@ chicago -3.5
@ New Orleans (they were -14.5 @ home when they played)
@ Spurs (they were -13 vs them but Spurs rested Ginobli, Duncan, Parker and Green. Spurs prob be favored here)
Knick -9.5
@ charlotte -9
Philly -13
next 2 games are B2B on road vs Tor and Boston
2 other times they have B2b but should be heavy favs and these 2 scenarios neither is on the road
Chances of this happening on estimation are way below 50 % , just winning vs the Spurs will be close to a coinflip in itself.
