NBA Wed There are 11 games on the NBA docket and the board is dead, no movement, no action, which tells us the either the linesmakers are on the money or the players are not that interested because they are losing. I think it's the latter, but not with us, therefore we'll take advantage of a couple of weak lines.
[B]716 Houston Rockets -2.5[/B]
We'll play the Rockets again who were good to us vs. Milwaukee, here they catch the Knicks on a downward slide (lose L3) and there is no excuse for New York to lose to Sacramento at home. It doesn't get any easier as they start a 3 game Mid West road trip against Houston, Spurs and OK City. The defense is showing signs of breaking down giving up season highs of 129 to Phoenix and 131 to Utah.
[B]717 LA Lakers -3[/B]
This is an absolute no brainer bet and a line that is off by at least 3 points. Even with Dirk Nowitzki back in the line-up the Mavs are not playing like a unit and trying to shoot nothing but 3's as their way out of the slump. Caron Butler may be lost for the remainder of the season or return for the playoffs at best. Dallas has lost 6 straight and 9 of their L11. Conversely, the Lakers are playing perhaps their best basketball right now winning 8 of L9.........interestingly the line is leaning the other way??
