Friday NBA MIL @ TOR news

Raptors Andrea Bargnani will be away for at least 2 games, he is flying back to italy for personal reasons. He is a big factor in their bench scoring, averaging almost 15 pts/game in feb, east rookie of the month. they are without Parker, their best perimeter defender too. I like TOR alot, made me alot of units, but may fade them for a game or two ATS.

FWIW, AP is reporting Bargnani will play tonight because of weather-led flight delays in TO.

Hmmmmmm... Spread still went down from MIL +6.5 to +5.

greedydogg · #4 03-02-2007, 03:53 PM

Hmmmmm is right. Maybe slight movement back?

-5 is attractive though, IMO.

BArgnani is without a doubt a tremendous rookie who adds an extra dimension to Toronto's efficient offence. He has been on fire the last 2 months and is making a case for rookie of the year.

However dont forget Toronto has a combo in Chris Bosh and TJ Ford who give you 40 points combined on almost every night. Add in Calderon, Mo Peterson, and Juan Dixon, and Garbajosa who can all give you 10+ a night I think Toronto's offence will still be very potent tonight if they happened to be missing Bargnani. Toronto is a very good home team and ID hop on this game especially if the line keeps moving towards the Bucks.

I think his value is over-valued. Maybe push me to take the under, but I take toronto and give the points regardless of if he plays or not.

good call stickney....I just added 2.5 units.

I don't want to start a new thread so I'll just post it here. Anyone know why the line dropped from 9.5 to 7.5 in the Indy vs Phx game?

sportsbook.com is 89% indy. I'd say they are looking to get some action on phoenix
