Houston +7.5, Denver -7.5. How will this line move?

Not a bad line. A lil on the steep side but it is in Denver and the Rockets doing the travelin'.

Will we see -8? Or could it move the other way after the Rockets' performance against the Pistons?

Its crazy how one team can look so bad one day only to look like champions against another team a few days later. Rockets were really bad against the Raptors.

In that case, this is just another good situation for fading a road team coming off a blow-out win and playing the back-end of a back-to-back.

back-end of a back To back in denver.....those are "don't forget to circle me on the schedule' types of game.

houston is the scrappiest, over-achieving group in the nba so it would not surprise me to see them cover, but my money will be on denver as soon as i get a line

Yao played against Detroit and McGrady could be back any time. I'd stay off.

even more reason in my book, the suspicious 'excuse' many coaches and players love to use is 'it will take time get the feel back, get to know your teammates, achieve game shape' etc etc etc

having yao back would only add incentive for me in denver's capability to run the rockets out of the gym

one more point is adelman's bitching about the decemeber schedule for the rockets, seen here

forgot about yao, but my take is t-mac will still mess up a good thing ... he logged alot of miles in the years in orlando and is done imho - i wouldnt mind seeing a 123-102 type of game considering how flat the nuggets have been lately

they're 5-0 on the 2nd game, but they're 1-4 for the 1st game.

since they won against Detroit last night, I'll fade them tonight. Had they lost vs Detroit, I woulda backed them tonight.

I guess they all look alike.
