SA wont beable to keep up with westbrook without parker on both sides of the ball so SA will be more likely to give this game to a hungry young okc team still looking to prove themselves against top teams. Pops will treat this one like practice while brooks the playoffs.

Hey all, great night for me yesterday. 3-0 ! But the most important, great night for most of us !
Eryximaque : 19-10
DEN Nuggets -8.5
Today i'm pretty confident in Nuggets Great form currently, Phoenix made a couple of good score, but nuggets seems really strong. (with a really good bench) Nuggets defense has been really increase in last 5 games (even we know they have played OKC / Clippers) Average PPG opponent all games : 101.4 vs PPG opponent last 5 games : 96.8 At the same time Phoenix : Average PPG opponent all games : 100.1 vs PPG opponent last 5 games : 102.4
Phoenix injuries with Marcin Gortat (52% FG, 8.5 RPG, and 11.1 PPG) and Jermaine O'Neal (50% FG, 5.2 RPG, and 7.8 PPG) out indefinitely.
versus poor defensive teams - allowing 99+ points/game : 16-6 DENVER is 5-2 ATS versus PHOENIX over the last 3 seasons DENVER is 27-16 ATS as a favorite. Nuggets are 16-5-1 ATS in their last 22 games overall.
Phoenix is 11-20 ATS at home Suns are 3-13-1 ATS in their last 17 games playing on 1 days rest. Suns are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 home games.
To conclude i think Nugget will cover this pretty easily. Their winning streak could be stopped by Knicks next game @ New york but not tonight.

Pure value play here. I will be on the Suns tonite as I feel they will be up for the game knowing how well the Nuggets are playing right now. Denver is almost a sure thing at home but not on the road. I have this line at Denver -5.5. While they may win, it should be closer than the spread indicates.
PHO Suns +8.5
BOL!

After spending some time dilly-dallying regarding this game, i have finally come to the decision of backing the Spurs. OKC playing its 4th game in 5 nights, second b2b game and hardly covering the spread last night against the Celts. Spurs, on the other hand, are well rested having two days of rest to prepare for this game, coming off from their second-worst ever defeat at home against the Blazers. I think Pop's gonna make a statement here...and the spurs will deliver after getting some tongue-lashing from their coach...lol...Even without T. Parker, i believe the rest of Spurs bench are far better than that of Oklahoma...

I would like to take OKC against the Spurs for tonight...its just they're playing 4th game in 5 nights...and they are on the road...any opinion will be appreciated...thanks guys...
Your first question should be why do you want to take them?

Detroit has been having some difficulty in putting up points on the board the past few games and so has Utah. Both teams should have some tired legs leading to a low shooting percentage. I have this game between 185-190.
Until GS proves that they feel like upping the pace like they have in the past, I'm going to ride the under train. Lee will probably come back tonight, but he is still injured which should mean limited time. This also means Bogut should see more playing time and so far that has meant lots of defense and little offense. I anticipate Bogut and Chandler clogging the paint and both teams will have to make things happen from the perimeter which should also be guarded very well. I have this game between 185-190.
Good luck all!

minus Tony, why there are 4 other games. SAS are coming off a 30 point home loss. Therefore you do have monster motivation. best luck

I am really liking the Thunder/Spurs Under 208 tonight. The line just moved up to 208.5... I personally like getting the extra space, but also makes me nervous that I am missing something.
Any thoughts?

The books appear to be playing an interesting line here as well, if the books thought OKC was as dominant a force as the public wants to believe tonight, that line would be the complete reverse, everything you have laid out here is correct and you are on the right side. The bait line set by the books at OKC +2 is quite telling. Who in their right mind wouldn't take OKC plus points against the spurs tonight on paper? But with 77% of the bets on OKC, the books are licking their lips tonight on the Spurs win. To many factors for motivation on Spurs and OKC not in a good position to win this one.

He did and even placed 1100$ on it. Read it again. But that doesn't matter. The man is a top money maker on sports handicapping worldwide in 2013 with nearly 30000$ winnings so who cares if he goes 1-1 once in a blue moon? You right about "either way" thou
lol what are you basing that worldwide statement on? Quit the cock kissing dude

Devils Advocate...
UGO take me back to February 14, 2013...
The Mia Heat where playing an away game at OKC and were an away dog of +4.5 while the score at the end was 110-100 Mia Heat- there were stretches where the lead was 23 points. This can be seen a couple of different ways. Mia should have been a favorite in that game and the score proved it. We can also see that OKC was on one day rest and was able to close the gap of 23 down to 10 by the end of the game (the large lead was very early) This has the making of something similar. You speak of motivation for the Spurs... coming off the bad beat against the blazzers? while this may be true think about the playoff picture. The reason why I think this game should inspire OKC is because they are 1 game behind the Spurs in the west, if being tied for 1st place is not motivation enough OKC deserves to lose. Lets not forget that while the Spurs have been playing well without Parker he is a key component to their team when it comes to playing big rivals. I see Spurs beat clips at LA and I see OKC beat the Clips at LA I see this as a very close game.

line has been zigzaging, but it's been staying in between opening line and 1 or 1.5pts lower than opening with the slight majority of bettors playing the over.Taking the under here.

Lots of weird lines today. I am not even sure what to think, feels like a lot of traps.
BRO vs PHI - public is pounding Nets here, which is no surprise, considering the way both teams played lately. Seems like BRO is the way to go here, but seems a little too easy.
OKC vs SAS - Opening line set at OU209, moves to 207 with most people on over. The first 2 games saw 200 and 180 points scored. With RLM here and all trends are pointing to Under, seems like under is an easy play here.
DET vs UTA - Opening line is at 197, the first game between these two saw 177 points, with refs who have an excellent under record and struggling DET, Under seems the play here.
DEN vs PHX - I can't figure out PHX this season. JO is back tonight and if you haven't seen him this season, he has been one of the few bright spots for the Suns. I was leaning Denver before and Under, but it is a lot of points to cover on the road. HOU PHX game was set at 210 as well and they scored 16 points in the last 36 seconds or something like that to hit that over. But I think I will stay away from this game tonight.
NYK - GS - a lot of money on GS. They opened -3.5, but now is at -2.5. Carmelo is back and I will probably take NYK here on RLM and the fact, that Knicks are 4-0 ATS, playing much better lately.

Denver-8.5.....i have a feeling phx is finally going to slow down their fine form they have been on lately, seems like phx just is not skilled enough to face a denver team that is on fire right now....Denver is a much better team at home, then away, but then again this year, who isn't. Also without Gortat and ONeal, I'm really hoping the Nugs just break this game open early and put them away.
OKC+2....I don't see Russell Westbrook slowing down...Tony Parker has always made this contest a lot closer with the advantage to the Spurs but not this time around. I see Durant and Westbrook getting what they want in this game and pulling out a close game. Mavin you know i hate going against the Spurs too but for some reason I really love this spot, as I believe for once (like what was said earlier) Brooks will take this game more serious then Pop at this point in the season. I think seeing the Spurs lose to the Blazers really put people on alert for betting, which I don't believe is correct.....because lets face it Everyone has a bad game every once in a while, the surprise was that games like that don't happen to the Spurs often and people mostly put that blame on Parker being out.....my point is I will still bet on the Spurs after this game because I know how they play collectively as a team....but I think despite being on almost no rest OKC will come to play tonight...
GS/NY under 202.....Golden State really hasn't been scoring very well lately and that has showed against teams that usually give up a lot of points as well. I Believe Chandlers D as well as the big guys for the Warriors will clog this game up enough to the point where it will bring fg percentage down.

Guys, Oneil is back tonight for PHX, just FYI. I have seen a few people mention it. Not sure if it changes your pick or not, but thought you would want to know.

I think the Thunder get up for games like this. The Thunder look to avenge their season
opener where Parker scored to win it for the Spurs at the buzzer. Easier to do, since Parker is not available
for this matchup. I understand the
Thunder have had quite a few games recently, but you are telling me this
rematch was not circled on their calendar?
When the Thunder matchup against the NBA's best, the Under has been a
solid pick. A few trends that stuck out:
Thunder are 6-1 ATS in the third game of a
3-in-4 days situation.
Spurs are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games
vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600.
Under is 5-1 in Thunder last 6 games following
a ATS win.
Under is 4-1 in Spurs last 5 Monday games.
Under is 5-0 in Spurs last 5 home games vs. a
team with a winning road record.
Under is 9-1 in Spurs last 10 games playing on
2 days rest.
If Curry doesn't go for 54 in the Garden late February, that play would
have gone Under the total, so I like that play as well. It is no secret that the Warriors have been
struggling. I said it the other day,
that the sportscasters reference their youth and the fact they may be gassed at
this point in the season. I think
Carmelo coming back tonight only helps the Knicks chances of winning. Do you think Melo is going to come back and
prove that the Knicks are better without him?
Highly doubtful.
Knicks are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games
overall.
Warriors are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games
overall.
Warriors are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games
