Jibba, its because with Kobe back they score less, because he scores a lot through their set offense which slows down all the running they have been doing with just lamar. Also, Minnesota is going to dictate the tempo as they do not like to run, but rather give it in to KG so this will be a low scoring game with a lot of offensive sets using the whole shot clock. Minnesota has only been shooting 41% from the field too.

Thanks. I appreciate the explanation. Felt awful about my LAL over 103 bet after reading this but didn't want to turn around and bet under 198. Ended up taking LAL -2 1st quarter. If it hadn't been for my ill-advised Philly bet being a unit more than the rest, I would have been about even on the night. Live and learn though.

I think the line is already adjusted for the Gasol's absent (if not they'd be a -4 favourite in my opinion). Take into account that Memphis is at home and Yao is playing great, the line seems about just right. However, GL as always.

I jumped on the Heat @ -5 (1 unit) last minute just because i wanted to add some excitment since I am tuning in to it. Shaq is out, but vs Seatle thats not gonna hurt them too much. The extra room and tempo should let Dwade bust out.

Added to Alt + 10.5 (1 unit), Cavs havent blown anybody out yet and Atl is athletic enough to compete on the boards. I look for Johnson to neutralize/beat Lebron in points.

And Hou -3, cant stop Yao (2 units). Not even close. Just hope TMaC isnt asleep.

I'll thank ya'll after the scores come in.

Heat -5, good price but you notice O'Neal is out right?
