NBA Sketch

Orlando -5 @ Indiana

Orlando has no business laying 5 in Indiana. Some good line value catching Indiana on a 5 game skid IMO.

Philly -4' @ Toronto

Philly has 5 road wins all season and they are laying 4' to a team who only has all of their wins except 5 at home. Philly stinks on the road so something smells. Philly looks solid.

Spurs -3 @ Utah

Spurs are great with a 38-7 record and 14-5 on the road. But 6-5 in their last 11 road tilts tells a different story. Utah just got beat up on a 4 game trip so the line value is there. Game should be a PKem at best so the 3 freebies at home should be enough to play the Jazz.

Again this is just me thinking out loud and I might wussy out and not even play em like Denver yesterday.......thoughts?

I can't say I agree with you on the Jazz. They have just been so off lately and hard to predict. The spurs are still a much better team. With a spread that low, I don't think I could pass on the spurs, which is probably what the books want, but I guess Ill fall into their trap most likely.

im not good at capping BB and don't even try...FB is my forte and i always play close attention to the situational aspect...i know enough to know that vegas has a way in every sport of taking the easy money...the jazz have been so bad the last 5 games that the spurs -2.5 smells fishy...personally, if i played that game i would take the jazz on a hunch that its a setup...jmo

Spurs for me, I'm aware of the situation that the Jazz are in right now...going 0 for on a 5 game road trip on the east coast for 4 and then LA for the last game and tonight is going to be a back to back no less.

Although it does look too easy... but I'll still take it

Spurs have the leagues best record and the Jazz are coming off a thumping by the Fakers. Jazz have also lost plenty of games the past week, so why is the line only 3? I'll take the Jazz and the points.
