NBA HT Center Friday

[Randercity]

Last nite was a disaster, I apologize. See THURS thread... anyway, new night, new attitude and the RIGHT frame of mind! Just letting you all know I'll be here and be focused. Here's the record to date:

YTD: 23-14 +7.60 Units 62%
Sides: 9-8
Totals:14-6* still 70% after going 0-3

 

[Randercity]

New York at INDIANA

Taking INDIANA -8 or less... Not sure what they will make the line in this game, it should be interesting. NEW YORK is playing a near flawless FH, and I'm sorry, they just aren't that good. The OVER may be worth a look too as both teams are running. NY is getting all the calls right now getting the line twice as much, and IND is sleepwalking and turning the ball over. LOOK for the opposite in 2nd half....

IND -6.5 Wagerstreet DOUBLE PLAY

Rander, i got Indi -8.5/92

Golden State at WASHINGTON

Another road team having a great half. G STATE played very well, finishing the half very strong. This game is not being played at a fast pace however, despite all the points. The UNDER is the best play here, and a lean to the WIZARDS to come back and win.

UNDER 98

 

[pizmo]

Washington -6/98 (both at Caribsport)

 

[Randercity]

I think INDIANA may still win this game. I would lay the 8.5 still... I also think going OVER 91.5 is a good play, but I'm not posting a play of both sides after last nite's debacle. INDY either has to shut down the KNICKS defensively, or out shoot them. I'm figuring for a combination of the two, with IND getting at least 55 in the second half, and NY around 42. Would not be surprised if INDY wins this game like 103 to 102.

 

[JT Sneaks]

Randy,

Agree with you on the totals as i think the Knicks/Pacers could go over, now at 91-flat, and I think the under is the play in the wizards game. Although I am not playing it I think the lean may be to the warriors +6 in the second half, they are getting every board out there.

Just My Thoughts...Great work this year!

Alright, passing NY.....only 4* on Under 98 (GS vs Washh)......good luck Rander!

 

[Randercity]

In the WASH game... Warriors have committed 14 turnovers at the break and STILL lead by 7!

That is ridiculous. WASH should and will come back in this game, just don't know if they can win it, and basically, they have to in order to cover the -6. I don't play for ties... I still say G STATE doesn't come close to FH production and this game fails to reach 200.

 

[Randercity]

You are right JT, they are outrebounding them 25-12 now that they've grabbed 3 more already, and I missed that... my bad. I still feel UNDER is good, but unless MJ and WIZ make everything, won't be many second chances, which helps the Under also...

 

[nakor]

Not to jinx, but I'm watching this game and while it is fairly slow paced neither team is playing defense worth s**t. Basically lots of grabbing and fouling. Of course I'm on the 2nd half under too (chasing, lol).

 

[Randercity]

Seattle at BOSTON

BOS is up by 6 at the half, and we got 94 points scored so far. Amazingly, BOS has a 6 pt lead despite ONLY shooting 2 FTs. Only 11 FTS in the whole game so far, and there have been 24 3's tried. I think you'll see more of the same in 2nd half, but more slashing and going to the line. I'm taking the 2nd half to go OVER the 98, or a total of 192 in the game.

OVER 98

 

[Padre]

I have been with ya on just about everthing but i see Sea hitting the wall soon since they are nonstop for some time now so i see this 2nd half going under.

1 unit-----Orlando +'

Playing much better than the tired looking Kings.....Outscoring them should not take a big effort.

 

[Al Bundy]

I like Orlando at pick as well.I bet the over 103 as well.Good luck all.

 

[Randercity]

Sac at ORLANDO

Wow... what a quarter by ORLANDO. After going down by 7, they come screaming back to go by 8 at the half. 57 SHOTS! Wow... are they ever running. SAC is turning the ball over which has led to some fast break points, but these two are just scoring alot. Neither is shooting a great %, so I'd expect something similar in the second half, but with SAC not making as many mistakes. Getting SAC +8 is too good to pass up...

SAC PK

and if I had to choose... I'd look for the 2nd half to go OVER as well.

 

[Randercity]

I only like SAC for the reason they have yet to really hit their shots. You may be right, they very well may have hit the wall, but I think the break will help them and they make a run. Based on your thinking, I'd think UNDER if thinking ORL.

 

[Randercity]

Houston at DENVER

This game is interesting since MOBLEY/FRANCIS are being outdone my RIDER/VAN EXEL big time. Neither team is trying to run though as only 73 fg's were tried. This looks to be a serious UNDER play since they scored 96 in the first half because DEN hit 61% from the field. I can't believe these teams won't run at some point though, and if MOBLEY/FRANCIS start hitting, VAN EXEL and RIDER will try answering. I think the best play may be in taking HOU. You're getting them + points now, and DENVER can't shoot like that again.

HOU -1.5

 

[dr. freeze]

very nice play on Indy Rander....that must have been like getting free money having the Pacers +8.5........must have been a very odd first half and you knew this would end up at least close....the knicks are aweful and i am gonna play against them until they can consistently show me that they can play well....look for this team to blow up soon and i would be surprised if Van Gundy makes it much past the all star break.....

unfortunately i got home late and couldn't play it.....but oh well.....hope you put a lot on that one.....

 

[Randercity]

Memphis at LAKERS

Both teams could do nothing in the first quarter, scoring 29 total, then go NUTS for 69 in the 2nd qtr. Weird game... LAKERS are playing very loose, and very well, but I gotta think PHIL will get his backups lots of time in the latter part of this game, and the GRIZ get a backdoor cover at +20. I also think both teams will continue to run and should get this game over 202.

MEM +8 & Over 103
