When ‘Cats are Dogs The Nets are 2-4 ATS when giving 10 or more this year but the Bobcats are 6-9-1 ATS on the road when getting 10 or more points… which probably means that they generally deserve to be big dogs in general. The Bobcats always seem to have three guys who are injured- and often it is a different group of three- yet they still provide a steady stream of young talent off the bench. They play well enough to win but never actually do. In fact, they have covered 39 games this year but only won 21 SU. The Bobcats can run and are very athletic. They are 6-11 SU in games with totals over 200 and while the total is only 192 tonight, there is a chance that this turns into an open-court game. The big one tonight- Pistons at Heat The Pistons are 1-7-1 ATS since 3/1 The Heat are 3-8 ATS at home in their last 11 games The Heat should be hurt without the presence of Mourning though they are 8-4 this year without him. Jason Williams’ absence might be a net positive for the Heat as Wade will have to have the ball in his hands more. The Heat are 12-6 SU without Williams this season. The Heat are 1-4 ATS and SU when the line is between 2 and -2. The Pistons are 2-3 in this scenario including three straight loses, the last one a 100-98 loss at Miami. This one is all about Detroit. The Pistons are 6-2 SU when playing a team that they lost to in the previous game this season. Kobe returns to the scene of the (non)- crime The Lakers are 1-5 OU against the Nuggets in their last 6 meetings. The total is currently 205, which isn’t a reduction when compared to the two teams’ previous meetings. The Nuggets are an overish team at home at 24-13 OU, including 6 straight. The Nugs have covered 6 of their last 7 at home ATS. During this time they are shooting 49.7% from the field and 44.2% from the 3-point line. I guess the Nuggets are the play.
