NBA 11/2 totals

[Derek123]

Spurs at Dallas o183
Spurs averaged 185 last year and Mavs 192. Being at Dallas they are more likely control the tempo for a slightly higher scoring game than at SA.

Denver at LA Clips u208
Denver had an average of 200 last year while Clips was 193. The core of both these teams is the same so it seems like a good bet to me.

La Clips u106
This line seems really good to me. They averaged 97 a game last year while Denver gave up 100. Coming off a game last night not as meaningful early in the year but still notable. last night playing the suns scored 104.

I'm not sure if anyone read this, but 3-0 +4 units.

yea, i got on that Spurs/Mavs over at the last second, they took a while to put the total up for that game. The 4th quarter probably made it a lot closer then it should have been.

thx for the picks. i jumped on the o183 and u208 largely because of this thread.

Added one for tommorrow Sac @ Chicago o180

Averages last year: Chicago 195, sacramento, 196.

Both teams I believe are better defensively this year-the Bulls by adding big ben and the kings by subtracting bonzi. I think the line overcompensates that though. The bulls have had 188 vs Miami and orlando. the kings had 175 vs t-wolves, without bibby for most of second half.

added Hornets @ Pacers u195.5.

I went with some good ol' eastern conference unders:

Detroit Pistons/Boston Celtics UNDER 193 -107
New York Knicks/Atlanta Hawks UNDER 204 +101
Milwaukee Bucks/Toronto Raptors UNDER 209.5 for Game -106
New Orleans Hornets/Indiana Pacers UNDER 196 -110

I like these. The Eastern Conference has to prove that it can hit these totals before these high numbers can be justified. I think it is still a defense oriented conference, in general. I especially like the Hornets play but am playing them all.

added Milwaukee/Toronto u 209.5

Basically the same story, toronto is going to try and play more uptempo this year but the line I think is overadjusting.

The o/u is lower at most places but still available at 209 on Bodog.
