Utah Jazz -5
3 units
I'll have a few more later, but this one I wanted to get in early. Line is moving up, and will most likely hit 6 or more by game time, imho.
I've been waiting for this game ever since Orlando squeaked out a W vs the Clips on Monday. The Clips got off to a terribly sluggish start in that one, then dominated for 2 or 2.5 qtrs, and led by 9 after the 3rd, and then took a **** all over themselves in the 4th, while Orlando got hot and didn't seem to miss a single 3 pointer.
Then the next night they got a 1pt win vs Portland, with Portland in what amounted to just a horrible spot, with 1 game @ home after an east coast road swing, before heading back out on the road to face divisional rival Utah. I contemplated playing Portland there, but had to pass because of the spot they were in, as other wise i think they would have covered that line or -5 or -6 or whatever it was most nights, all things equal.
Then I jumped on the Suns against the Magic last night, despite the Suns being minus 3 key players, and quite honestly feel a bit screwed taking the loss, having gotten Phoenix at -1.5, and them winning by 1. That was again, a game where Phoenix dominated MOST of it, except the beginning where they got down big, and at the very end.
I believe Orlando is a good team, but they're not 17-5 good. They've beaten alot of average to weak competition in the east, and caught some of these western conference teams in bad spots lately.
Utah will be the best team they've faced this year with the exception of Boston, and they got throttled by the Celts 107-88.
Barring any unforeseen injuries or weirdness, I'd be very surprised if Utah doesn't cover this number tonight....
