Just some substance to re-affirm my pick from earlier...
ATS 16-8
Over the last 10 games, Houston is scoring 100.4 points per game on .460 shooting. Prior to this, the Rockets were averaging 88.0 points on .424 shooting through their first 24 games.
Over the past 5 games, houston is hitting 108ppg on 48%fg and 38.5% from 3point line.
McGrady has 28.2 points over his last 18 games to increase his scoring average by 4.5 points
NY Jersey over the past 5 games:
is scoring 85ppg on 40%shooting and 25% from behind the arc, whilst conceding 95ppg and allowing teams to shoot 46% fg and 42% from behind the line.
I think I'll take Houston to cover at least 12-15 points.
The only danger is if this game turns into a slow paced game which it could quiet conceivably be; if the total goes under 170 - it might be a tighter game to cover...
JT & others, might follow you on Niagra play... and to follow up on what JT said bout playing within ur means; smartest thing I've seen written here in a long time.
Play big outta ur profits if you want but dont lose your shirt on this shit; it should be entertainment as much as possible, and if you can keep a small profit on plays running (10-20%) along the way then great - otherwise this isnt for you.
