NBA Tuesday

New York @ Detroit under 185 Everything points to New York having lots of trouble scoring in this one. NY 0-4 under this season as road dog of 9-12 (don't score when no expected to) Det 8-19 under last 3 seasons as home fav 9-12 (hold teams when expected to) The last 5 meetings are 0-4-1 under this number at an av. of 172. (NY av. just 78 ppg!) The last meeting in Det this season was 91-61! Detroit shot 47.4% and there were 26 fast break points. (13 for NY..over 20% of their score!!) Both teams have their lowest scoring on 3+ days rest: Det play their best D, and av. 175.8 ppg. NY play their best D and score the least, av. 178.3 ppg.

Re: NBA Wednesday Lakers -3 League: 13-11-1 (Av. win 8.1) home fav, 3+ days off 10- ats loss as home 10+ fav. [LAL] 9-3-1 (11-1-1 this no...Av. win 16.0!!) if opp off any ats loss. 6-1 (7- this no...Av. win 21.4!!!) if opp off home ats loss. League: 10-14-1 (Av. loss 8.4) away dog, 3+ days off any ats loss as home 4- fav. [bost] 4-10 (Av. loss 11.4) if opp off any ats loss. Really is quite hard to understand this line (was expecting at least 3 pints higher). I guess it's becasue Kobe is attended a funeral yesterday, but will play tonight. Boston allow 104.3 ppg on the road, and that's not going to win you too many games. They are 3-10 ats in their last 13 road games. Lakers in a dog fight for a (unlikely!) play-off spot. Hard to see them dropping this one. Milwaukee @ Charlotte over 195 Last meeting in Charlotte was 92-99, but the teams shot a combined 38.1% and a total of only 7 3's. Charlotte's scoring has been down of late, but Okafor returning tonight from an 8 game absence will be a big boost. Also Charlotte's last 4 home games have been against good defensive and low scoring teams (SA, Miami, Portland, Denver), now they face Milwaukee who have allowed an av of 107.6 ppg in their last 5 away games. The teams are a combined 8-2 over this season on 3+ days rest, and Milwauuke are an amazing 12-1 over on 3+ days rest over the last 3 seasons! Redd back for the Bucks. Think we'll see some points in this game.
