I would check the NBA forum.

also, dont think many would advise that ANY wager is worth a HUGE amount of money. Any game can lose.

Article in Det News this morning about Pistons playing with finish them off attitude,instead of turn it on at the end of games.Flip is bitchin about it. On that note I would say yes.

Something I have gotten away from the past few years as they always looked like such great bets is ROAD FAVORITES. Be careful they are the worst subsets out there. With that said Detroit is -2 right now. Good Luck!!!

I haven't been following NBA as closely as I should be, but philly seems like it could be a great play. Last time i saw this type of one sided action with the line dropping was last year when Dallas was coming into Denver with a 13 game or so win streak and the line kept dropping even with almost all the bets coming in on them. The nuggets ended up blowing Dallas away.

personally, I like the raptors getting the points. Kidd and Jefferson aren't 100% and their team has been playing poorly despite the recent run. Toronto finally has their rotation back and they've been on a groove recently. I wouldn't be surprised if the Raptors win straight up.

Was thinking the same thing. 94% of Carib players are on Detroit and the line has gone down 2.5 points.

I will be wagering on philly tonight.

Philly is coming off a long road trip that started on Xmas day - so that negates the home court advantage.

Detroit without Billups is the key here - if you think they have adjusted, Detroit is the pick.

Long term NBA road favorites will send you to the poor house. I fade all NBA road favorites unless I have a good reason not too. I never really do anymore so I bet against them.
