Can anyone explain why nobody likes Toronto (11-6) playing at home against Phoenix, who is 7-9 and has zero wins against teams above .500?

Line has moved from -6 to -3.5.

I think it's just a function of being on a back to back after an emotional win last night, traveling all the way from D.C. overnight, and playing a fresh Phoenix team.

No excuse for Bovada to have it off the board though.

My NBA bet so far for today is Minnesota first half +5.5 I kind of gave up on betting Minnesota without Rubio but to hell with it. Garnett will not let these guys give less than 100 percent.

It was up for me at Bovada. I got it at -3.5 (-105)

Raiders seem to win games they shouldnt and lose games in spectacular fashion they should win.

[Dan Druff]

Got Char -1.5 in game middle of the third.

Decided to jump on the bandwagon for a sweat.

GL Druff

That's a great line.

All 3 of my bets might lose. Charlotte isn't playing well, and failing to capitalize on the Bucks again shooting poorly in the 2nd half.

2nd half over looks like a disaster, barring OT which I don't want.

I just want Charlotte to win by 9 and get me to 2-1.

Bovada is the worst book ever

Yea it kept bouncing between -3.5 and -1.5 when it was a one point or so game, just waited and popped on it real quick.

Charlotte and Milwaukee playing awful.

Damnit just pull away from the damn Bucks already

[Dan Druff]

What a disaster. Charlotte up 78-71, then tied at 80 with 1 min left. Had to hope for OT, and then Charlotte put in a 3, which is the worst thing for me at this point (but good for abrown).

I don't see this covering even the 6.5 unless it gets to OT, even with the last minute fouling.

I guess I have to hope for a Milwaukee miss, then Charlotte making a basket, then a Milwaukee miss and intentional foul when Charlotte gets the ball back. Ugh.

[Dan Druff]

Well, Mil turned it over, Charlotte scored. So now 85-80 with 24 secs. OT is probably out of the question. I'll happily take 1-2 at this point if Charlotte can push this to 7. I need a miss now.

[Dan Druff]

OMG I got screwed out of that first -6.5 bet.

I've never seen this before where the team down 5 just gives up and doesn't foul. Then Charlotte got the ball down court and decided to just hold it.

So I'm 0-3 from just one game. So awful.



Congrats to abrown though.

This week not looking good.

We had a small profit lined up until Gordon landed exactly on 50 after a 14 yard run and Tannehill went bonkers because the jets decided to call it the day a quarter early. That Gordon run was a kick in the balls.

It was 87-80, Milwaukee fouled, then Charolette gave up an easy layup to fuck you.

Thanks for the free money though Druff

Well, close. It was 87-80 (after a foul), Milwaukee had the ball, Charlotte gave up an easy layup, and then Mil decided not to foul (and Charlotte decided not to score, despite being right next to the basket unopposed).

The sad thing is that Milwaukee did NOT play well, and I lost both bets against them because Charlotte was uncharacteristically bad.

[Brittney Griner's Clit]

Never betting Wolves without Rubio anymore. There is a reason they are 7-4 with him and 1-4 without him.

[Dan Druff]

Bovada being annoying with Toronto. Back on the board, but is -3.5 -105. Market line right now is -3 -110. In case you're wondering, a line of -3.5 -105 is roughly equivalent to -3 -115.

And I actually have the "sharp" lines on Bovada, where I often get 0.5 points better on favorites. O/U don't seem affected (which is good, because I tend to do unders more than overs).

The sharp lines and square lines are the same on Bovada for this game.

Funny you mention that. I was strongly considering going with the Wolves, and then the lack of Rubio (and their poor record without him) scared me off. My one good decision today?

Currently I'm 16-13 in the NBA this year.

[big dick]

What was you record last year?

[Dan Druff]

Well, screw it. This Toronto game is too weird, anyway. I just realized they were down 10 yesterday to a mediocre Washington team with just 4:24 left, before miraculously winning at the end.

So yeah, they are probably due to lose at this point, even though Phoenix sucks against opponents over .500.

I'm just going to stay away and watch for any in-game/half bets I like today.
