    i think this is what it opened at. currently its not out on the book i bet at, bookmake. all the other games are out for tomorrow, only 2 others, but i think they are just waiting to confim dirk is out. but everything is indicating that he is. might be closer to a pickem i think, or rockets favored

    Might as well play the ML, you do know Houston is going undefeated the rest of the year, right?

    +5.5 is just a memory now. The game is off the board, as +5.5 was the opening line at Pinny this afternoon before news of Dirk's suspension broke.

    I just got on Houston for 2 units and it's currently 8.21ET. Coral.co.uk is where I landed it.

    Very happy with this. I expected it to be OTB everywhere I bet. Great stuff. Now don't go and choke, Rockets.

    This looks like a trap game, Rockets are due to downfall with out Yao sooner than later, but hopefully Im wrong good luck all. I wont touch.

    I actually agree with you that it COULD be a trap game. The last time this type of thing happened, I went with the Wizards getting 10.5 over the Yao-less Rockets. They got destroyed by something like 30 points.

    However, I feel strong enough about this game to bet 2 units becaues I capped it at +4 WITH Dirk, so to get Houston at +5.5 knowing that Dirk isn't playing is a situation I can't ignore. In the Washington game a couple weeks ago, I was leaning Houston to cover before I heard the news and overreacted to it. This time the news just strengthens my play.

    If Dirk was playing tonight and stunk it up you might say damn I wish he was suspended or inj (not an uncommon occurence ) .

    Take a look at who the Rockets beat in their 16 game win streak .

    11 of the 16 games were home games .

    They were favored in every game but one , at NewOrl . 15 of the 16 they were the favorite , another words they didnt play the top tier teams to say the least .

    They beat Cavs twice and only 3 other quality wins / probable playoff teams , Warriors ( in Houston) , Nuggets ( in Houston ) , at the Hornets for an impressive win .

    Mavs know they are without their best guy , it is not like they are not prepared . It would be different if they found out he was a no go just before gametime or if they lost him to inj during the game .
    I have been beat by McGrady before , and they were playing the Mavs in the playoffs . McGrady was unconscious out of this world knocking down big shots . If he does that tonight then the Rockets are worth a shot . I still like the Mavs here though no matter what .

    who has the mavs beat recently? no one... u have to go back to feb. 13th to find them with a win when they were favored by less than 4.... their last 10 games, anytime they were dogs they have lost....and like i said the games they were fav., they were favored by 7.5 or more....

    Right , you can only play who is on your schedule . You cant control when you have long home stands or going on lengthy road trips .
    Mavs have not had an impressive win in a long time , but this is mainly due to it being the opposite for them as it is for the Rockets in the last 16 games . 11 of the Mavs last 16 have been in the road . Is the exact opposite for the rockets as 11 of their last 16 have been at home . Home in the nba for good teams is the biggest advantage of any sport there is pretty much .
    Of course while this holds true , it is specualtion saying that if the Mavs had a recent long home stand that they would be on fire like the Rockets have . It would be mere specualtion saying the rockets would have dropped 5 or 6 games if they were on a recent long road trip after losing their biggest player down low .

    If Houston wins tonight it would fall into the amazing category , if the Mavs win it will fall into the normal occurence category because they are great at home .
    Dirk being out ? Its not like they will have to play with 4 guys now instead of 5 . Like in softball they let it go right , haha .
    Really though , whenever you have someone to step in in any sport it can work out just as well or even better .
    We will just have to wait and see .

    Lot of easy baskets for Rockets. Mavs defense looks like Suns.
