NBA Tuesday

[TazaD]

Seattle -4.5 League: 62-38-3 (Av. win 8.8) any home fav, 1 day off 10+ ats loss as home 4- fav. [seattle] 10-4-1 (Av. win 11.5) if opp off 10+ ats win. 4-1-1 (Av. win 13.2) if opp off 15+ ats win. League: 11-14 (Av. loss 7.0) any away dog, 1 day off 15+ ats win as home 4- fav. [Houst] 2-7 (Av. loss 10.2) if opp off any ats loss. Absolutely classic case of one team being under-rated off a bad performance, the other over-rated off a big win. Houston are still having trouble scoring without Sura...av. 94.1 over their last 6...only 89.2 without the Chicago game. They only won big v. Dallas because Finley and Nowitzke were out. Seattle are 7-1 off a 10+ SU loss this season...12-4 off any loss. Seattle won 87-85 @ Houston in Feb and shot only 36.5%...inc 4-25 3's! Philli -4 League: 53-56-1 (Av. win 5.2) any home fav, no rest off 10- ats loss as away 5+ dog. [Phil] 14-5-1 (Av. win 8.7) if opp off 10+ ats loss....17-2-1 this number!! 7-1 (Av. win 8.0) if home 4- fav. GS went back to their old road habits @ NY last game, allowing 61.8% shooting and 58 points in the paint! Webber has been terrible for Philli, but if he can't perform in this game then this trade could be one of the worst of the year. Philli always play well after a close road loss...... They are: 11-3 (12-2 this no...Av. win 9.9) any home fav, no rest off a 10- ats away loss. GS are just 3-11 away v. <.500 teams this season.

Re: NBA Tuesday Got a feeling that the 'cap is too high on Orlando +6.5 at Cleveland. (bet365) Season is tied 1-1 (orlando won at orlando by 3 and cavs won at home by 9) - Cavs on 6 game losing streak (last 3 by average of 15 ppg - 2 of these at home) - when the cavs won by 9, they shot 40% FG (5% less than the magic) but shot 90% from the line and scored 14 points more than orlando from FT. Orlando is on a 3 game win streak but is 1-4 ATS off 0 days rest. The stats don;t help much, but just think the +6.5 is too high against a team that is on a very low ebb and on such a losing streak.
