Sacramento is what I call a sucker bet. Doesn't necessarily make it a bad bet, but it is an NBA or NCAABB game where the obviously better team is a small fave on the road. Seems like easy money but I have found more often than not that those are traps. The problem there is that Sacramento just has awful perimeter defense so Cat Mobley and Stevie Franchise should light them up. I still like Sacramento to win based on inside play but to me it is not worth it to lay the points on the road.

Minny is a tough call. Again, I dislike laying small numbers on the road but they may be the second best team in the West right now. Two key matchups are how Minny handles Lewis and Payton. Brandon has really been playing well but he hasn't faced many elite points and when he faced Andre Miller he was schooled. Sczerbiak plays about as much defense as I would if Tyra Banks were asking me for sex. If Lewis shows up (not a sure thing based on this year so far), Minny could have issues.

Investment Executive is on Minny so of the two, I definitely think they are the stronger play. I am going to pass on both, though, mainly because I am philisophically opposed to laying small numbers of points on the road in the NBA.

Normally I'd agree with you Nick, but tonight Mr. Franchise is out and I just dont see how Houston can beat any decent team without him. But then again, how do two double digit dogs win straight up in one night? Who knows!

I did not know Francis was out. I just assumed he was in because he played the last couple of games. With him out Sacramento is a stronger play but for me personally, I still won't lay small points on the road.
