SPORTS WAGERS

Denver +6/+180 over L.A. LAKERS

3:30 PM EST. It’s such an interesting year in that teams’ stock rise and fall so quickly due to the compact schedule thus resulting in more lopsided scores than we’re accustomed to seeing. Case in point are both the Lakers and Nuggets. Denver has opened the year 2-1 with all three games being decided by double digits. The Lakers opened up as a dog at home against Chicago. They blew an 11-point lead with three minutes to go and lost it with four seconds remaining. They followed that up with a loss in Sacramento and as a result of opening 0-2, they were a small 5½-point favorite over Utah. They trounced the Jazz by 25. Finally, the Lakers were a 4½-point favorite over the Knicks on Thursday and won going away by 17. If the Lakers were a 5½-fav over a Jazz team in total chaos and a point less against the Knicks, why are they the same price against Denver as they were against Utah? That’s an overreaction to two blowout wins in the same way the under-reaction was to its two opening season losses. The Lakers bench is rather weak and this is its fifth game since Christmas. The wrath of the schedule maker will affect teams with weaker benches hard and the Lakers fall into that category here. Play: Denver +5½ (Risking 1.06 units to win 1) Play: Denver +199 (Risking 1 unit).

SACRAMENTO +107 over N.Y. Knicks

The Knicks came into this season amidst a lot of hype that they were on the verge of greatness. That’s the influence of the New York press for you. In three games thus far, the Knicks look nothing like contenders. They have no true point guard that can give them solid minutes every night and they have a coach that does not care about defense. They were lucky to win on opening day against the Celtics. They subsequently got torched in back-to-back games in Golden State and in L.A. against the Lakers. There’s nothing in the Knicks play that suggest a turnaround. Meanwhile, the Kings are 1-2 after playing the Lakers, Portland and Chicago. That’s a difficult trio and they were rock solid in both home games against the Lakers and Bulls. Tyreke Evans has recovered from his foot problems and has resumed attacking the basket at will. Having an energetic, free-throw-creating machine in the backcourt is a huge edge in the Kings favor. The Kings look better than they’re getting credit for while the Knick hype has not subsided yet but the pressure is mounting. Play: Sacramento +107 (Risking 2 units).

DETROIT +125 over Indiana Pinnacle

We’re not going to suggest that the Pistons are even close to being the same caliber as the Pacers because they’re not. However, if the better team won and covered every night, we’d all be rich and this is one of those “red-flagged” games. Indiana is 3-0 while Detroit is 0-3. All three Detroit losses have been by 11 or more and as a result, they’re 0-3 versus the spread. The masses are on the Pacers here and we can understand why. We’re urging caution here because it could very well be a trap game. Indiana played last night and went into OT against Cleveland. Their plane was delayed and they didn’t get into Detroit until 3:30 AM this morning. By the time they got to their hotel and settled in, it was close to 5:30 AM. It’s the Pacers third game in four days and tail end of back-to- backs. Being New Year's this one starts a little earlier too, benefitting the host. This is a very difficult spot for the Pacers, as the line confirms and one we intend to take advantage of. Play: Detroit +125 (Risking 2 units).
