NBA Play-in Lines

[Avocado33]

Numbers on sides look pretty tough, especially Tuesday games. Under on that Cleveland/Brooklyn game looks tempting at first glance as far as totals go. Will be interesting to see how these move


Tuesday

Cavs at Nets (-8), O/U: 230

Clippers at Timberwolves (-2.5), O/U: 231


Wednesday

Hornets at Hawks (-4.5), O/U: 239

Spurs at Pelicans (-5), O/U: 230.5

Sucks posts like these get no replies. This is what this forum should be about.

I'll add to this AV---a little to early now to lock in picks though....Like you said let's see some line movement closer to tip.

Amazing this day-in age---lowest total on board is 230. Jeesh.

Kind of interesting movement on totals.

Cleveland/Brooklyn down to 228.5

Charlotte/Atlanta down to 236.5

San Antonio/New Orleans down 229



Only side change I've seen Brooklyn now laying 8.5

Not seeing LA/Minny on the board right now.

 

[crudebar]

That's solid movement. I would hit all the unders.

Which I am about to do myself.

Gonna be on both favorites.

I hate Brooklyn and expect them to go out quickly. Too many malcontents. But Cleveland is missing their big man in the middle. They haven't been very competeitive in a while now. I'll give this one to the overrated.

The Clippers finally got Paul George back in the lineup but they haven't proven to me that they are very good. The Freak was out when they pounded Milwaukee. Booker was out when they beat Phoenix. I like Minnesota. Karl Anthony Townes is a stud. DeAngelo Russell and Anthony Edwards are players. They like to play in that Minnesota arena and can put up points on anyone.

I agree on the first one, though I think that number is pretty solid. My Cavs will play tough and hang around, but Allen's absence is detrimental. Kyrie should be the main benefactor of it because once he gets to the next level/breaks down our guards, he's gonna be able to get some clean looks at the rim. Kyrie is one of the best finishers at the rim of any guard to ever play the game -- truly a sensational player in that respect.

The Cavs' whole scheme is built on players like that being hesitant to go towards the basket with the three big guys/settle for lower percentage shots in the midrange. Allen is the most vital piece to that. His absence has killed us

Minny has played well in the last couple months, but I think the Clippers have a huge advantage as far as coaching/experience go in a spot like this. I am gonna bet Clippers, though I'm not thrilled about it. Looks like the line has shifted to 3 now FWIW

On top of that you have some vets with great playoff experience against a really young Cavs team. May be stating the obvious here, but that matters a lot!

Under is the play today.

 

[Avocado33]

Cavs/Nets total steamed down to 227, could get lower

 

[Avocado33]

GO CAVS!!!!!

 

[crudebar]

Under will be a cake walk.

 

[RayFinkel]

Hopefully the 6ers knock off the Raps in 4 games. I listen to a ton of sports talk radio and fucking hate hearing about Basketball.

Go Leafs. Go Jays.

 

[Avocado33]

God Markannan is so trash lol

 

[Michelangelo]

Minny -3 -108 (vs Clip)

 

[crudebar]

[Avocado33]

Yeah we can’t guard Kyrie without Allen lol

I hope we get Allen back Friday

You got a shot still. Keep the faith.

When that psycho is on, he is ON

 

[crudebar]

Nets going to get a big wake up call when the play Boston. This Nets team ain't ready. Boston in 6.

 

[crudebar]

Ugh. Your Cavs fucked you pretty bad at the end there.

Under going to end up barely coming in with all the fouling at end. Haha
