NBA Totals - Thursday 2-23-12

ADP, Turtle, Dime, GDM, Petro & Waltes -

I wish I would have waited on that line for the Miami under but it is what it is; if anyone can give me some insight on how to watch (and more importantly - predict) line movement, I'd love to hear it.

Also, for those playing at home, I've got a three-team teaser I put together for tonight (bet 2.5 units to win 4.5 units). This isn't a system play or anything, but I thought it looked enticing so I'm sharing:

Orlando vs. Atlanta OVER 173

Orlando Magic (PK) vs. Atlanta

Oklahoma City Thunder (-2) vs. LA Lakers

I like it and I'm on it. Looking for some  from Vegas before the break.

A couple of reasons I like this play - Orlando has been playing great, while Atlanta has been playing awful. It might be a kick to Atlanta's ass that they finally get to play at home tonight, but it won't be enough. I know it's always good to go AGAINST home teams when they're on a B2B at home after a long road trip. I hope the extra-energy (if any) that Atlanta has tonight will translate into some points because I think Orlando's good for 90+. It also paints me to bet against my Lakers, but facts are facts: that was a tough game they played against Dallas last night (just ask Gasol) and now playing a B2B against what looks like an unstoppable OKC team in their house... I don't know, it just doesn't look good.

Scrubby - I think it has maxed out.

BJaRz -

Mine is up to 202.5 as well. I'm going to lay another unit on the under.

The OKC (-2) is part of a three-team teaser. Each of those bets in that post are teased four points in my favor (Orlando is PK from -4 and the total is 173 from 177).

FINAL PLAYS:

Miami vs. New York UNDER 199.5 (2 units)

Miami vs. New York UNDER 202.5 (1 unit)

This will be treated as two separate bets because, well, it's two separate bets. With that large of a variance, there is a chance I could go 1-1... hoping for 2-0 though. I've also got the following teaser (not system related):

Orlando (PK) vs. Atlanta

Orlando vs. Atlanta OVER 173

Oklahoma City (-2) vs. LA Lakers

Man I needed that laugh as I went cold yesterday... Thx lawson!

I'll take all the information I can get. Had you guys not alerted me to this, I probably wouldn't have known (once my bets are placed, I usually ignore the lines). However, I'm glad I do.
