I’ve been waiting patiently for a spot to go after a Wizards Under to curb this awkward 11-Under, then 4-Over streak, and I think tonight’s about as good as it gets in terms of the spot. Wizards are coming off a stretch of 3 games in 3 days, and they’ve had 3 days off coming into this one. A few things are certain with this Wizards team. First, they don’t play defense on the back-to-back as evidenced by the season, so that explains as to why I avoided them in the previous stretch of unders. After this game, they have a b2b, then another 3 days off going to NY, which might also be a good under play but scary with the pace that NY plays at. So, yes, I think this is the spot. These are two of the worst defensive teams in the league, but the time off favors the defense. I also have two of the worst teams in the league from an efficiency standpoint as well. Both meetings this year went 94 and 95 possessions respectively, and the most recent game hit 201. The weird thing about that game was the final total line of 183. Yes, the game in January was lined about 14 points lower than this total tonight. There is a ton of value in this one due to the past couple Washington games which again were played in the b2b2b scenario where they have put up some big points this year (and the Detroit game was on a horrid pace until the hack-a-Ben Wallace) pushed it over late. Of course, not having Booker or Nene in the lineup is a decent part of these recent games going over lacking the interior presence, but they’re also two of the more efficient offensive performers on the roster as well. It’s also interesting to note that the last time these two teams played each other (the 201 point final), they both were in a b2b spot as well. Not the case here tonight, and I’m going after the value. Hard for me to pass this one up.
I like Denver with immediate revenge and finally getting done with the 7 Road/1 Home/1 Road scenario and should get a nice effort from them here tonight in an instant bounce-back situation. I also like the Jazz in the same situation against a Spurs team that’s covered 6 straight with a couple pushes in there and also have a meeting with the Lakers on deck. Spurs into altitude, and probably without a few key players as indicated by the line. Not interested in either of these, though.

More a guess than anything. Neither has played the last five games, and if I were to take a stab at it, I doubt Nene plays against this year. Can't see either returning for a match-up with the Bobcats, but who knows. If they do return, I get a slower pace and a better defense, so I'm rooting for them to come back just don't see it happening.

I talled you on this CHA/WSH selection, and thought I would watch some of the game....here is the thing....win or lose....I just lost the courage some time ago to wager on terrible teams.....and I must say....these 2 are terrible on all fronts.....so here is my question...
How do you factor in all the total crap I've witnessed in this game....shame to call this match an NBA match really.
Love to hear your thoughts......or is really all about the numbers and nothing else?

Fortunately for me i got the line at 198, but damn.....extremely painful to watch such shit basketball...defense non-existent...great strategy, but a tough loss on the million 3 balls thrown without any challenges what-so-ever.
