How on earth did this line start out at Blazers -5 and dropped down to -3.5? I already booked Portland -3.5 but just want to know your opinions.

Cause sac town wins outright. It's TNT Thursday, crazy shit goes down. You should know this by now if you've been watching NBA ball for any period of time.

LOL @ "sac town" wins outright. Portland is the far better team and the Kings struggle against all star caliber post players. Show me your ML ticket and then i'll see how much you believe in the Kings.

Portland might be the better team but they havnt been able to get it done on the back end of a b2b while on the road. They are 0-4 this season losing to the following teams:

01/06/12 @ Phoenix  L 77-102 Regular Season L -3 U 196.5 01/14/12 @ Houston  L 105-107 (OT) Regular Season L -1 O 196 01/21/12 @ Detroit  L 91-94 Regular Season L -6.5 O 177 01/25/12 @ Golden State  L 93-101 Regular Season L 3.5 O 192.5

Sacramento on the other hand is 4-4 at home this season losing SU to 4 quality teams (Chicago, NYK, Orlando, and Denver) 3 of their 4 wins at home were against playoff bound teams (LAL, Mil, Indiana, and NO)

IMO, this is a game that I would stay away from...As chillin mentioned, crazy shit happens on TNT

Agree with ProCSV...  SAC only played 4 games in january, they didn't win or cover, but very close.  Leaning on SAC full game and POR 1 Half.

Thornton will also be back for Sac in this game. He's very big for them as he does all the little things well, every team must have players like this.

I'm not going to bet on portland on the road for awhile. On the road they morph into this unrecognizable and extremely lazy team that just sits around passing the ball around the perimeter like a hot potato taking turns on 20+ foot jumpshots.. totally forgetting how to rebound and totally forgetting what defense is in the process. Did you watch that pathetic display in the 4th qtr in utah the other night ? Totally lazy allowing utah to get to the rim whenever they wanted to for easy buckets while portland couldn't even rebound their missed free throws, and just stood around with absolutely no ball movement shooting long distance shots and bricking them

They just got their asses kicked in Golden State and if they can lose convincingly in GS and places like Detroit recently they can certainly lose in Sac.

The line was also pretty ridiculous right after Portland beat the Lakers at home in front of millions on national tv. The Blazers then went to Phoenix the following night and the line was only -2.... 90% of the people bet on Portland, and of course they did with that low line and just witnessing the blazers taking apart and throttling the lakers.

Well the very next night Portland got their asses kicked again on the road losing to Phx by 30..

Their identity as a team totally changes on the road, they just take ling distance shots and refuse to go to the rim/paint to get easy buckets and draw fouls, they refuse to send an extra guy in there to crash the boards, they just refuse to go hard after loose balls.. they are NOTHING like they are at home, so beware. It would not surprise me whatsoever if Sac lays the wood on em

Nice call PR9! You were spot on. Thorton was the difference maker tonight with 20pts 3ast and 2stl.

I ended up playing SAC -1 2H and still cashed in
