NBA 6th

[TazaD]

Houston +3.5 League: 17-32-2 (Av. win 0.2) home 4- fav, 1 day off a 10+ ats win as away 5+ dog. [Phil] 5-15 (Av. LOSS 2.6) if opp is off any SU win. (0-2 season, inc. Philli 90-89 Min as -1.5 favs in OT) 2-10 (Av. LOSS 5.7) if opp won SU as fav. 0-4 (Av. LOSS 8.2) if opp won, but didn't cover as fav. Houston are 17-7-1 away this season, 8-3 away v. winning teams. The Rockets have won 4 of their last 5 gams @ Philli, all as dogs. The one loss was in OT as +8. Houston just about back to full strength will be too strong for an inconsistant 76ers, and I think they will win this game without the 3.5 points. (But always better to be safe! :ok ) Seattle -4 (bought half point) League: 0-5 (av. loss 17.6!!) any home dog, 2 days off a 15+ ats win as home 5+ dog. [CBC] 12-32-1 (Av. loss 9.8) on any rest. 3-16-1 (Av. loss 9.5) if home 4- dog. Charlotte are 0-9-1 this season on 2 days rest!! With an av. loss of 14.5. They are also 2-7 ats as dogs of 4.5 or less. The Bobcats are getting a low line here because of their big win v. LA, but 1 win in 14 isn't great form! They are still the worst team in the NBA, they just happened to pull out a great game against a Lakers team without it's second top scorer (Odom), and also commited 23 turnovers! Seattle have won 2 of their last 4 on the road, and really should score freely against Charlotte who are 4th worst in the NBA, allowing 47.2%! I don't think Charlotte can keep up. New Jersey -6 League: 9-1 (Av. win 15.3) home 5+ fav, off a 15+ ats win as any home dog, if opp is off a 10+ ats win. NJ are being under-valued due to playing a heap of road games lately, and it's easy to forget that they are on a 10-0 home run! Av. win in those wins is 11.6, and they have been against much better teams than NO (Det, Miami, Clippers just to name 3) NO are over-rated off a big win, but LA showed @ Charlotte what kind of form they are in!! NO shot 56.8% in that game but won't repeat that on the road where they av. just 43%.
