Brutal day yesterday, 0-2, brings us to 9-4 YTD
OK, now before doing research, the games that stuck out to me are - PHI/CHA under and CHAR +, CLE/ATL over(cleveland fades in 2H, so might just go with 1H OVER), Mil/Min under & Min -2.5, Memphis -11, Utah/OKC under204, Sac +1.5, LAL/DEN under205....on to the research....
Brooklyn @ Orlando - 4, 187
Brooklyn averages 95.6 pts a game

Philly averages 92.7pts a game
Charlotte averages 94.7pts a game
Philly averages 88.5pts on ROAD

Philly giving up 93.7pts a game
Charlotte gives up 100.2pts a game
****My calculations have this total line off by almost 2pts, but have Charlotte winning SU 95 - 93, and sine they're a +3.5 underdog, the play is CHARLOTTE +3.5
Phoenix @ Toronto - 1.5, 197.5
Phoenix averages 98.4pts a game
Toronto averages 95.9pts a game
Phoenix averages 95.3pts on road
Toronto averages 102pts at home

***My calculations have this line off by 6points - PLAY IS OVER 197.5 - I would also LEAN TORONTO, but no "play" only 5point qualifier.
Portland @ Boston - 5, 191.5

Boston averages 98.2pts a game
Portland averages 92pts a game on road

***Line is about dead even, no play, i do like the Knicks though. Washington struggles to score in the paint and they'll struggle more here. Wiz are 2nd worst in rebounding while knicks are 4th. This has a 105 to 84 type game written all over it.

Cleveland averages 97.2pts on ROAD

***My calculations have this line off by 3 points, but the numbers do show CLEVELAND +9 as a PLAY
--Hawks one of worst giving up rebounding to teams, Cavs #2 in opposing rebounds. So this game will be tight unless Atlanta shoots the lights out or Cleveland is cold.
