The Big Play Tues 3/10/09

San Antonio Spurs -5.5 (-110)
risking $550 to win $500

This play is similar to my play against the Lakers last night. Basically fading a team that has over/underachieved lately.

I usually hate to back a huge public favorite, but I truly believe the Spurs are in the right spot tonight. The Bobcats have been a surprise lately rattling off 6 straight wins and 7 of their last 10. Simply put the Spurs are a contender in a much tougher conference, making a home-court stand against a team that is surging, but still is a sub .500 club in the Eastern Conference. Charlotte faced two Western Conference contenders on the road less than a month ago and lost both those games by double digits. I hope the veteran presence of Tony Parker and Tim Duncan can suppress the surging youth tonight.
