My Log is the Knicks!!

Question

I usually don&#39;t bet on my favorite teams but this is a Lock for me. Knicks -2.5 and this why.First off, this is our fourth and final time that we play the Pistons for season and we&#39;ll be going for the sweep. We&#39;ve beaten the Pistons 6 straight times, 10 of the last 11 and 4 of the past 6 meetings in Detroit. The Pistons are 3-7 ATS the last 10 games and are coming off of a Breathtaking loss against SA 114-75. I also wanna add that we&#39;ve beaten the Pistons this year by an average of 9pts.Knicks -2.5 let&#39;s get the money!!

So bet the pistons? JK lol Melo missed morning shoot around and is probably gonna miss this one. Good luck with your Knicks.

ILPRATO · Answer

No melo but I like it

runstopper52 · Answer

Fishgrz I just wrote a post with your exact sentiments. I feel funky about it with Melo being iffy but here's my thinking:

NY needs every game they can get, with several teams down their neck in the standings. They don't have the luxury of looking ahead, specifically to OKC tomorrow.
*Going 1-1 doesn't change whether it's a W @ OKC L @ DET or vice versa. 1-1 is 1-1 is 1-1.

That being said, with Melo likely to sit out, whether both games or just tonight, this game is the more likely W of the 2.

DET has gone into a tailspin since Drummond has been out, their avg ppg allowed has climbed from 96 to 102 roughly. They have nothing to play for at this point, except more ping pong balls.

NYK has won the first 3 going for the sweep, this can go one of two ways, either DET is psychologically beat knowing this team has the edge (ala OKC v PHO this season) or they want payback. Given the team's m.o. right now, I think it's the first one.

Greg Monroe sprained his ankle in shootaround and is a game-time decision. He would have some issues to begin with healthy v Chandler, but if he is dinged up or misses the game entirely, the Knicks should have a field day in the paint.

Fishgrz · Answer

Exactly. And I also wanna add even without Melo, the Knicks should win. We were able to overcome a 22 pt deficit against the Cavs IN CLEVELAND without him. Personally I think we move the ball a lil bit better without him. Knicks gonna have fun in that paint tonite, even if Monroe play he&#39;s not 100%, and when play against Tyson you have to be 100%.

runstopper52 · Answer

Yeah I was going to say I think they will move the ball better so long as JR doesn&#x27;t go overboard. I think I&#x27;m putting this streak of 10 on NY -3.

runstopper52 · Answer

Vincent Goodwil on Twitter said Lawrence Frank won&#x27;t be coaching tonight, that can only help NY&#x27;s cause. Charlie V also game-time decision with bad hammy

runstopper52 · Answer

And, sorry about the mass postings these thoughts are just filling in, but Amare will probably be unleashed tonight and asked to be the alpha scorer. He should have a field day, and lead to spacing on the floor and the threes should be looking good.

WVUGuy · Answer

on it too.. expect Tyson/Amare to have great night, especially since Woodson will give him 30&#x2B; minutes with no Melo&#xD;&#xA;Lets go Knicks

runstopper52 · Answer

It makes enough sense, Knicks are the desperate team, Pistons have all but mailed it in, Monroe will either play gimpy ankle or sit out and he's their backbone. I'm jumping aboard

Streak Survivor @ 10
Play of the Day: NYK -3.5 to get to 11
Also wagering $55 as well.

runstopper52 · Answer

Vincent Goodwill, Pistons beat writer, also on Twitter quoted saying the team looks like they&#x27;ve mailed it in. Strong words from a guy who follows the team daily.

chillinmcm · Answer

NY with OKC on deck, they&#x27;ll be sleep walking through this one

runstopper52 · Answer

I don&#x27;t see it that way chillin, they have very little hope of beating OKC, but they can get a W here tonight. At least I hope so for my streak&#x27;s sake.

Fishgrz · Answer

Yea I agree, the W against OKC seems unlikely and most of us know that. That&#39;s why we should get a win today.

LetEMride · Answer

line movement is a bit concerning.NYK may be looking ahead to OKC, maybe.i would also say that sweeping a series is not an easy task.NYK should demolish DET esp if Monroe is out however, DET has this knack of putting up mad points at home. I have no idea how but they do somehow.GL, i am staying away!

joshfactor · Answer

knicks are 12-13 ATS on road games. Playing with no melo, on the road, laying 3.5?

just the simple fact the knicks have covered the last 6 meetings, laying big lines. but this line is short.

the knicks have been on a dreadful slide. this is exactly the kind of game they should win, but will lose.

knicks backers

runstopper52 · Answer

Hopefully they unite against a team that has mailed it in. They had no business rallying against CAVS down 22 (or being down 22 either), so hopefully they wake up earlier.

runstopper52 · Answer

Monroe out along with Melo. If Chalie V also sots Detroit will be thin in the frontcourt

runstopper52 · Answer

Charlie V out, Detroit is going to be incredibly thin and will be running guys that have hardly seen the court this season. Not played on paper I'm aware, but everything is lining up perfectly for the Knicks (which is why they would theoretically blow it)

Hopefully not

Fishgrz · Answer

Win by 10
