I never saw the line at 9.
The assigned some real "coolers" to this game:
Corbin (home team 9-19 ATS, home dogs between 5 and 9.5 0-3 ATS)
OKC 8-2 ATS last ten games he reffed for them
Dalen
Lakers 2-8 ATS last ten games he reffed for them
Foster (home team 10-21 ATS)
Lakers 3-7 ATS last ten games he reffed for them
If you read Donaghy's book and believe in ref biases and favoritism, these are some interesting stats.
Gasol did not play in the game last time, and the Thunder won by 8. He is questionable tonight. Either way, Earl Clark has stepped up nicely for the Lakers while they are missing their other bigs. The Thunder are 8-2 against the Lakers in their last ten, by an average margin of over 8 ppg.
Seems like a pretty fair line to me :shrug:
