NBA Thurs Nov 16th

The Golden State / Sacramento total (196.5) stands out like the proverbial .. I can only guess there's a few in doubt for this game through injury? Under normal circumstances this line looks a little low ..

Ok, statistical trends suggest the above mentioned total is about right .. However, the 178.5 O/U for Houston v Chicago does look low on the basis of recent history .. Both teams are averaging well over that number when you combine their for & against .. Also a look at their most recent head to head matchups suggests they should sail over ..

Also interested in u/o in both games:

GS X Kings h2h .. under is 13-3 .. although 196.5 seems about right

Housten X Chicago bulls ..Over is 5-1 in Housten ... 178.5 seems low.. maybe bookies are assuming a Ben Wallace effect

Golden State - Sacramento OVER 197.5 $1.90 3/5

Fri 17/11 - 03.30 a.m. GMT - Basketball NBA

Golden State Warriors Vs Sacramento Kings

I do not see this difference of odds in this match, to my warning it will be a match much near, Sacramento, without the center Brad Miller, is however of advanced level regarding the team of Oakland, than it will be without Diogu and also Murphy has problems to the heel.
The team of the California has started much good the season, is in confidence and also yesterday has played a really nice match against Memphis, the problem will be to see the physical condition inasmuch as they have played also yesterday evening and moreover the absence of Miller could be a problem, than for the Kings Brad is a fundamental player.
The Warriors also are doing good and at home are a team so difficult to face, they have a longer bench regarding the Kings, bu for sure little quality.
Like saying to the beginning, IMO will be a match near and I creed that this 2.70 of Sacramento is really much high.

Hp +4.5 & Moneylines - Sacramento Kings over Golden State Warriors

2.70 @ Pinnaclesports/Bet365 - 3/10
1.92 @ Expekt - 6/10

Hmmm .. seems there's a lot of conspiracy theories circulating re both tonight's totals .. Been a good 3-0 week so might just leave tonight alone ..

Did like the Hou / CHi OVER though .. my book's total is a crazy-ridiculous 178.5 ... Then again both these teams are 'd' orientated so ..

Bulls to cover +5.5 v Rockets

good luck

Chicago Bulls +5 @ 1.926

Good luck

"mini bad gambler" ..? God help us all!!

Bulls 34-40 3:21 2nd

ben gordon on fire with 37 and bulls down by 2 with 15.2 left in the game, they were down by as many as 21 in the third

I heard Ben Wallace got injured or playing with injury. Not sure if that's true but if it's then that changed the whole complexity of the game for sure. Everything was going fine until the 58 points in the 3rd quarter I guess and I hope I am wrong about the Ben Wallace factor too.

edit: The 2nd game is looking good as predicted at the moment. It should be OVER and the Warriors might win it by more then 4 points.

edit again:
Notes:@ Bulls center Ben Wallace strained his right biceps in the first quarter and went to the locker room. He returned early in the second quarter with black tape wrapped around the injury.

Not sure if that does contribute to the result or not but could the stats below is due to the limitation of his injury?
Ben Wallace, C 35minutes, 1 points, 5 rebounds, 5 steals, 1 block
Yao Minh, C 38 minutes, 20 points, 12 rebounds, 1 block
