Yao Ming o/u 65.5 games played....

Listed on Bodog. Thoughts? I'm tempted to put a chunk on the under.

My bad it is 67.5 games played.

Even with Yao playing minimum minutes how can this not go under? I agree. Good find

With a 24-minute max for any game that he is in, I think that the big man should be able to limit his injuries.

However, he is not supposed to play on the second day of back-to-back games meaning that it is MANDATORY (at least for now) that he would miss 21 games MINIMUM since the Rockets have 21 sets of back-to-backs this season. In other words, the maximum number of games he'd play in the regular season is 61.

BTW the 24 minute rule for Yao is something than can be tweaked as the season, and Yao, progresses. It's a hard-and-fast rule for now, but that can change.

So really, with other factors like the flu and other minor injuries (sprained ankle/knee) not even related to his surgically repaired foot, the UNDER indeed would be the right side of the bet. Then again, when am I on the right side? Not very often.
