clev -2.5
Bynum is working his way back to full stre‘ngth and his importance to this team is large. The Cavs though a bottom dweller has emerged winning 3 of their last 4, they have been strong on this court and the fact is, the Knicks are still not performing up to snuff despite winning their last 2 of 3. The 41 point loss to Boston on their home court is proof of that. I am laying these points for 1%..
miami vs. indiana over
It does appear now that Dwayne Wade is a go tonight and that is going to be a boost to a team that already has very strong Offensive Efficiency. However, the real story tonight is the fact that Indiana is not focusing on Defense as much as they have been, taking advantage of transition and doing a good job of that. That is the reason why this team is 4-1 OVER over their last 5 games with numbers posted about as high or higher than we have for this one tonight. There was a time when we could expect the Pacers to be at the bottom 3 NBA Tempo teams but right now they are #22 and climbing and while that is still low, they are very close to going even higher with their current pace. Miami does not want to get into a halfcourt with Indiana and they are going to transition as often as they can tonight. With Indiana taking more advantage of the same we could easily see some large spurts of points. I have 195.4 as a fair number tonight and that is good e‘nough for 2%..
gonzaga -2.5
’I have Gonzaga winning here by 5.3 points and playing 1%..
Wisconson Green Bay -2
The Phoenix are very good at a couple of things that make them a very good road team. They work the ball very well and rank high with assists, and they have a much better than average TO Ratio. This team has many advantages over their counterpart this evening including better offensive rebounding, That is why they were able to beat a good UVA team and play Wi’sconsin down to the wire. They have had a strong schedule which has prepared them more for what will be their 1st True Road contest tonight and I have them winning here by 5.8 Points. That makes this a 2% Play for me. EMU does a lot of things right but what they don't do so good is hit their Free Throws and this year that is even more important than it was. GB has strong Free Throw shooting and always key down the stretch. That is where I think this game turns our way..
