The day these 'new' trends officially disappear....Might post them for pure amusemement, but they won't (alone) warrant a play. Golden State 7.5 League: 19-27-1 (Av. win 5.3) home 5+ fav, 2 days off 10- ats win as away -3 to +3. [Min] 1-5 (Av. win 4.8) if opp won 10- ats as dog. League: 12-3 (Av. loss 7.9**) away 5+ dog, no rest off 10- ats win as away 5+ dog, if opp off any ats win as away -3 to +3. [GS] ** The average is skewed because one of the losses was by 49 points!! All 12 wins were by 7 or less. Minni won the meeting in GS by 8 earlier in the season, but Cassell had 26 points (9-18, 8-8 FT's), 8 assists and 11 rebounds! Like the way the Warriors fought out the game today, and they have definately improved on the road, winning 2 of their last 4 and losing by only 2 and 3 points. Minni av. only 88.2 ppg over their last 5...don't think they can score enough to cover the spread here.

Re: NBA Wed. Philli -4.5 League: 36-18-1 (Av. win 9.2) home fav, no rest off 10- ats win as away -3 to +3, if total 190+ [Phil] 14-5 (15-3 this no...Av. win 9.6) if opp was last fav. 7-2 (9-0 this no...Av. win 13.0) if opp was last 4- fav. Philli are 8-3 on no rest this season. I've said before that NJ are a far different team away from home. They are only 9-20, and their av. loss is 6.5 Assuming this line gets up to 5 (where it should be at least!): League: 9-15 (Av. loss 9.6) away 5+ dog, 2 days off 10- ats win as home 4- fav. [NJ] 1-7 (0-8 this no...Av. loss 15.2!) if opp is off 10- ats win.
