NBA 4 Point Line Move

homedawg · Feb 11, 2009

Utah went from +3 to -1. How common is it for NBA sides to move 4 points with no injury related information?

That brings my next question. I made my largest wager of the season on Utah +3, I bought back some (15%) with Lakers +1. Would most ride out the good number, or play a middle? Almost 100% of the time I would play the good number, but b/c such a big play I took the small middle shot.

Not to be picky, but this is a 3 point move since there are no ties in the NBA.

Always take the good number unless your bookie is a prick. Then middle for a little.

Very weird line move considering all the injuries that Utah is dealing with today.

think it's a great situational play for Utah. Coming off a huge east coast swing where they won @ Boston, and @ Cleveland. Come right back and play OKC in a hard fought game, and then the next night they are right back on the road against one of the toughest places to play. Good spot for Utah imo

I would have kept it all, every cent. Why give any away unless it's a bankroll concern? Question should be is there any way I can get more Utah at +3, not look to give some back.
