I wasn't sure who would be favored in this series. With home court I figured it might be Phoenix by a little bit. But I thought SA had enough reputation to be made a slight fave. But right now they are sitting at -156. That line makes no sense at all to me.
I notice that there is no game line for The first match up. Probably because these places have to figure out how to make Pho a dog and still keep a straight face.
It is something to have Miami -4/4.5 with a -190/200 ML in game one and have the whole world betting Det in the series to push them back. But that is due to a major question mark with a major player, and one that probably can decide the series. If Shaq was healthy I would imagine Miami would have ben a -200 in the series, and still taken some action. But as it is people were falling all over themselves trying to bet Det.
I think it is a smoke screen personally. Shaq has pulled that shiit his whole career. I imagine he will come out 80-90% and be a big role in this series and Miami will probably win. The guy has only played a couple games in the last month. But that is what he does when he isn't needed. He coasts to be ready for WHEN he is needed. Which is this series.
But back to SA/Suns Can't figure it out. SA is good yes, and Suns have been labeled paper tigers. But they have still gotten it done. They have no injuries, and if anything Nash has set himself above everyone and shown why he was the MVP of the league.
All I can say is I am anxiously waiting to see what the number is for game one. I think Pho was a HD once this year(that was against SA +2 and they did lose), and have been no less than a -6 fave in playoffs at home. And I think they have only been a dog 11 times total. So to see a team -160 against them in a 7 game series when they have the first two games at home is very surprising.
You could maybe make a case for -120 with SA being small dogs on the road in 3 games like +1/+2, then being -5 to -6 at home, but right now they basically have to open up -3.5 on the road in game one, and I can't see how Pho doesn't get a lot of action as that big a dog at home. Because if they open game one -2 than it is the same scenario, you are better off betting them to win that game on the ML, and if they lose, then you can come back and bet them (SA to win the series at +140 at least)
Basically the odds can't seem to match up right here for the books. Maybe that is why they are waiting on posting a line. Doing what they seem to be doing a lot mre lately. Letting the action determine the line for them, rather than posting a legit line to begin with.
