Spot play on the Wizards continuing to score some points after finally hitting an over which came right after an 11 game under streak. I like the spot, but I also like the intangibles in this match-up as well. Washington’s defense is well, Washington’s defense. They currently rank 27th in the league in defensive efficiency, so a bigger focus on this game will be how the pace goes along with how well Indiana performs on a b2b in a sandwich spot. Past performance is certainly no indicator of how this game’s going to play out, but this Pacer team in the b2b spot has been ugly as of late. Seven of the last nine games in the back to back have gone over the 200+ mark, and coincidentally the Wizards game a week ago was one that didn’t (keep in mind Washington was on the 11 to the under bandwagon at that point). More importantly, the pace of the game should be pretty fast. First total in the series was listed at 200.5. Second game came all the way down to 193.5 with the Wizard under streak and Indiana coming off a bad loss at the Nets and both teams came in off slow paces. Not tonight, Indiana comes in off of fast paced New York, and Washington comes in off of fast paced Milwaukee. No reason to think this game is played any other way than fast, and with a Washington roster of all first and second year players, not sure they have the capability of slowing it down. A bit concerned with a sandwich spot for Indiana here, but I had to remind myself this is a young Washington defense, so I’m going after it. I don’t think Indiana is able to slow the pace given the situation. And the fact that these two teams are playing for the third time in the past few weeks helps the situation here (I hope).
Both Denver and New Orleans have had three days off, so sort of a tricky situation, but both teams are in a weird spot. New Orleans is the slowest team in the league and they’re in a five game roady into the home game here and then hit the road again, and they’re also in the loss column for 6 straight and the under column in three straight games. If you look at the three meetings this year, the most recent meeting only went 91 possessions, and they rattled off a combined 207 points. The other two games only went 89 and 91 possessions and they didn’t come close to this #. Taking a chance based on value alone, here. Denver’s also on the tail end of a 3-game roady.
Also playing the Cavs with a streak of 7 losses against the #. They have an immediate revenge game with the Bucks where they were embarrassed a few days ago. Not really much more to it, really. Bucks haven’t been a double digit favorite in more than two years. Granted, the Cavs have sucked something fierce as of late, but if they have any pride, they’ll keep this within the # tonight.

Bucks haven't been a double digit favorite in more than two years... Mind boggling. I lean CLE as well, just not sure whether or not the CLE team has any pride.

ui must disagree with ur cleveland play---revenge spot dosnt count, they are just reeling besides they wont count with a key player tonight , and they are playing for nothing, not even pride thay have folded the tents and are in pack it up mode, milwauke still playing for a spot

Wizards really haven't been scoring since JaVale McGhee and Nick Young got traded. You would think one of the games in this series have to get over the number.

ui must disagree with ur cleveland play---revenge spot dosnt count, they are just reeling besides they wont count with a key player tonight , and they are playing for nothing, not even pride thay have folded the tents and are in pack it up mode, milwauke still playing for a spot
Not a big fan of playing teams who are in a "must-win" spot. If all the teams won when they were in a must-win, we'd have 22 teams in the playoffs.

Are you serious? The Lakers are playing the Clippers at Staples Center how is that a road game?
He was being sarcastic. FUPM = good guy. And technically it is a road game, but it really isn't. But oddsmakers have viewed it that way. Lakers -4 when they're the home team, Clippers -2.5 when they're the home team and now a -3.
