    Lightbulb An NBA Play the I really LOVE tonight! (Brief Writeup)

    Bobcats +11.5

    The Rockets are on a 20 game winning streak, but I think this is a "look ahead" game for them.

    With games against LAL, BOS, NO, GS coming up immediately after the Charlotte game, you can't really help but to look ahead. I am sure the players are!

    I can also see Rick Adelman resting his team with a big lead late in the game, giving the young Bobcats a chance for a backdoor cover.

    The Bobcats will be up for this game. In reality this game is their season. What it would do for this franchise to go into Houston and end their 20 game winning streak!! It would definately give them a momentum boost in their fight to get that bottom playoff spot in the East.

    And dont forget.....

    ....This is the NBA where anything and everything can and will happen.

    I rarely bet Bball but I agree with the motivational factors here. Every once in a while I will take a shot and intend to do so here.

    Cant do it. This is what guys thought against the hawks, and what did they do? They covered. You either ride em or lay off em IMO. I like your angle **, but 20 game win streak is hard to put money on the other side of.

    youre clearly a sharp guy and i hope you win, just trying to give you a different angle, one other thing to think about is the friday night angle, home teams bring it on friday nights because its usually a packed house, tons of groupies, etc,

    I know.

    But "look ahead' games are so dangerous.

    The akers had one of these situations 2 Friday nights ago. They were riding high on an 11 game winning streak and then got killed by Portland. They were clearly looking ahead to Sundays primetime game vs Dallas.

    I've been riding the Rockets lately but I can't bring myself to bet on them tonight. I think the best bet for me is to stay away from this one.

    thats true, although playing at portland who is over .500 in the west and hosting charlotte are two different things i think

    So is an 11.5 point spread

    Charlotte aint THAT bad.

    I agree with ya **...Wallace and J Rich should be able to keep this game within 12 points. Inflated line due to the Rockets covering 12 straight. Good luck.

    Charlotte is awful. Houston should cover the 10.5-11.5 as easy as Dallas did.

    It's an easy choice for me, especially when the line now is -10. Rockets will win & cover. Teams take one game at a time. That is why Rockets won 20 straight. You don't run ahead of your feet.

    not that bad, but not good either, 24-40 in a bad conference where 2 sub .500 teams are playoff eligible. i wouldnt trust charlotte, but you are a good 'capper so they are worth a look, the good number is gone though

    Easy now that the line moved from -11.5 to -10?

    I got it at -12 (+121). And yes, it's easier at -10 of course. It was very easy the last 11 games taking Rockets. If you want to go against them, then it's fine. But you could have been 11-0 if you took them their last 11 games, as I did. Why would I stop taking them now?

    True...But all too many times people jump on the second the streak ends.

    If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If I were to bet on this game, I'd ride it out with the Rockets.
