Gilbert Arenas vs. Blazers

[jhennis]

Anyone familiar with Gilbert's agenda vs the Blazers? If not, he basically promises to score 50, and in his blog he says that he will take more shots this time to get the points.

Do the sportsbooks have this information do you think, and will they have Gilbert over/under for this game?

Forgot to say, this game is Tuesday night. Portland @ Washington

lines will be up tomorrow for Arenas total points

Now what I'm asking is will they put up a normal line for Arenas, maybe around 30 or so, or will they raise it because of his predictions to the upper 30s.

[TheFish]

hmmmm...imagine it will be normal.

i remember seeing similar situations in the past (players guarantee big games) and doesn't move the line much.

The line on bodog is 35.5 points+assists for Gilbert. That is right on his averages of 28.9 points and 5.9 assists.

I'm loading up on the over. Good luck to those who do the same. Over also has -105 odds.

In his blog, he also mentions that since it's closer to playoffs and the games are more important he won't force anything because winning is more important now. With that being said, he's been over 35 total pts/assists 3 straight games now if that means anything.

What’s Tuesday?
Portland. Oh.

I made a prediction already, there’s no point in making it again. I already made it.

I can’t refresh your memories. Everybody knows about it. Everybody knew when I scored nine, they were quick to say that crap.

I know coach is going to get mad for me saying this, but if I don’t score 50, damn it, there’s going to be a lot of shots to get to 50.

You know, last time I shot 15 shots.

At the end of the day, I want to win. It’s harder in this situation now because it’s winning time. Early in the season I can do that, I can go out there and just play reckless. But it’s more of a team thing now that we get these wins and we don’t droff – we don’t drop off.

If I’m on fire, I’m on fire. If I’m not, just like last time, I’m not going to force anything.
