Thursday Referee Stats

[Mendoza Line]

Two games tonight....

Washington at Orlando: Tony Brothers working here. The home team won with him on Tuesday, but road teams were 49-21-2 with him last season. Double-digit road dogs weref 9-1 ATS with Brothers last year. As bad as Washington has been, they are 6-2-2 ATS in their last 10 games with Brothers reffing, always as a dog. Orlando is 0-3 ATS in their last 3 at home with Brothers. Road teams were 45-37 with ref Dan Crawford last year, 4-2 ATS as double-digit dogs. The third ref is Kevin Cutler, a part-time guy who worked just 7 games last year. Brothers will be running the show tonight.

Phoenix at Jazz: Last season, home faves of between 5 and 10 points were 6-10 ATS with Derek Richardson, 7-11 ATS with Tom Washington, and 13-14 ATS with Monty McCutchen. All three are generally down the middle with totals in this range, but they each tend toward the over in Suns games.
