Detroit gets Dennis Smith and sends Rose to the Knicks. Expect Dennis Smith Jr to be cleared by game time even though he’s going through protocols. Dennis had volunteered to play in the G-league so he could be cleared soon as tomorrow. Watch for update.
Detroit comes off it’s 4th straight overtime loss to face the Nets. Durant remains out due protocols while Irving is probable. Brooklyn has filled their 3 roster spots to bolster up their defense with Shumpert, Pelle, and Vonleh. Pelle is the only one who’s seen action yet logging 17 minutes verse Philly. That game went under the original set total of 232.5 by .5 a point. The Nets are -9 in Detroit. Detroit is pretty big team and should have no problem taking shots over the backcourt of the Nets while Irving and Harden, Harris will almost certainly get theirs. In the front court for Brooklyn will most likely be Jordan and Green, and not so very big combination of guys around the rim. If Smith plays he could come in with some rhythm since he got some run in the g league. Ellington, Wright, and Jackson are all GTDs. These GTDs are all way too common now and a player status that the league mandates must be in by 5pm doesn’t really get to us until just before game time on most occasions. This number seems too high based on the matchups. With Detroit coming off 2 days rest and finding some momentum against the Lakers I wouldn’t be shocked if they won this matchup. The Nets defense is still very awful but can be potent offensively while the Pistons defense isn’t much better at 20th in the league. If Smith plays he’ll be fighting for minutes and wanna put on a good show.
I’m leaning towards a possible play on Detroit +9 and Detroit ML What are your thoughts on this matchup?

The Knicks just acquired Rose as mentioned above. The Knicks are +7 underdogs here. The Knicks gave Miami all they could and failed to cover by .5 a point in the last matchup. The Knicks still hold a size advantage and most likely win the rebound battle again. Protecting the rock should be the focus as they gave up 21 points off turnovers to Miami at MSG. I’d bet that if Miami had a choice to play any team it wouldn’t be the Knicks, who will be right behind them on that trip back home. If Rose plays they could find the ball protection they need. If not I’d expect Thibadeau to make the necessary adjustments. This spread seems high as well and the Knicks could pull this one off as well.

Hey Man, i see the trend that you always bet on detroit, is this because of the match ups they had lately?
It is due to matchups. I layed off of them when they layed an egg vs the Suns. However I probably should have stuck with it during this losing streak. They pushed against the Jazz, lost to Phoenix, and covered both times vs the Lakers. Matchups are a huge part of the way I look at games but sometimes I get away from it. I think I’m better off sticking with it. Player experience is also key.

I’d like to hear some of you guys opinions on the matchup in terms of players and their respective positions. Stats, trends, injuries, etc may help determine which side we take but if we all put our minds together it should point in one direction more than the other.

Most of the time we have the same picks, brother!! Like NY ML, they lost last game after b2b, tomorrow Rose probably is not playing, they still can win.

I think there’s a good shot he plays. He’s not coming off the streets and he most likely will fit right in to Thibadeau’s system but what do I know. I’m really hoping he does.

Wall will be back for this matchup. Hood is out. Hart for NO is questionable. With wall back in the mix the Rockets are much better off defensively similar to what CP3 is to the Suns. Houston will be on the second leg of a b2b. Houston makes up for their subpar offense with their defense while the Pelicans do the opposite. I’d say the matchup of Adams and Cousins is somewhat even. Seems when Wall is out Oladipo is chucking up a high percentage of shots for a low percentage shooter. They’ve also lost the game and ATS the last two in this same scenario. The Hornets had 2 whole days off between games. These two teams are bottom 10 in turnovers. Houston is ranked a bit worse but they get after the ball better. The Rockets haven’t played with Wall and Oladipo much so their rankings can be very confusing which is why I prefer matching teams up man for man or stat for stat. Houston only committed 11 turnover vs the Bobcats but were out-rebounded and shot dead awful from pretty much everywhere. The back court of the Pelicans may hold an advantage in terms of shooting but the Rockets probably hold the advantage in between the lanes. I’m a little concerned about the matchup with Williamson which most likely will go to Tucker.
I’m leaning towards the Under? Which could be between 218-221

last game at MSG & that .5 backdoor was cost me $3k, the knicks could not executed late in the game; cant bring the ball near lowpost and forced to take brick jumpers while key 3's between Herro and Olynyk nailed the coffin.

I don’t want to overthink this matchup too much. Even though the Warriors got Paschall back they still fell short. The early shot attempt by Green hoping to get fouled with 5 seconds left could be a sign of worse things to come. The Spurs have Aldridge and Walker listed as GTDs. The Spurs won the turnover battle and converted those turnovers to points two days ago. The Spurs dominated the offensive boards as well. If Aldridge returns I’d expect them to dominate even more and get a boost both offensively and defensively as well. But I know that Curry will never go away. Being that both teams will be on a b2b and the Warriors have probably given all they have defensively in their past three matchups I like this game to possibly go over the total if it’s set around 229-232
Leaning Spurs -1.5 and Over? Maybe 229

I know that GSW been riddled with injuries lately, but what about their trend of getting a guaranteed 1-1 at least when facing against same team on a B2B? And it already happened 4 times this season, even if they are against good faves. I already locked in on GSW, but I want to hear your thoughts as well (might hedge if any case).

I have looked at most of the refs but not of the Suns. I believe for the moment I will wait for line ups in that game because none of the quality starters that rejoined the team played and if Paul is out it hurts the team offensive and defensive.
Miami has poor refs for home and also a heavy lean to over
Spurs have poor home refs
Utah has poor home refs and all 3 are over
Portland has good home refs
Miami has poor refs for home and a 2-1 over to under

However in the last matchup the Rockets easily beat the Pelicans in their same arena. But keep in mind Wood was the leading scorer with Oladipo at 27 and 20 a piece. Neither of the two will be playing tonight.

A win puts the Pels ahead of a Houston in the Southwest standings. Rockets are 9-5 when Wall plays this season and 7-1 after the James Harden departure.
7-1 when wall plays after James Hardens departure

Well here’s my thoughts. You have a GS team depleted at the Center position. You have a SA team with their bigs Poeltl and Eubanks playing at a high level coming off a win. We have the possibility of two players returning for SA which gives them a complete roster. 2 players for SA had a double double and others were heating up. SA has home court advantage. Kerr restricts Currys minutes to 34-36 minutes per game and Popavich is one of the greatest coaches in the NBA so it’s hard to believe he loses under these circumstances. Kerr also stated himself he won’t be running Curry to the ground during a lost season. I’m not sure what he means by that sitting 9th but he obviously doesn’t have any championship expectations.
All signs point towards a Spurs victory here.

The refs are not going to fix a game for a GS victory. That’s just plain absurd. You just can’t take away the shine from any player like that if he were to go off tonight. Not only that but why would you even think a game would be decided by refs in favor of GS when the public will be surely all over GS to get even. Just doesn’t make sense.
