Houston +6.5 2nd H +110
Houston +360 2nd H

Sucker line in my opinion as asking a 8-9 point favorite to cover the 2nd H by still losing outright stinks to high heaven. I've seen enough of these situations in basketball to know that fading such moves over the long haul is a guaranteed profit. Also the way the game has played out shows it being very even. This isn't a case of a team shooting a ridiculous % & coming back to down to earth.

Atlanta -4 2nd H -105
Atlanta -205 2nd H

Betting this team has been a detriment to me but something has to give. I know some were wondering why I didn't go all in on Phoenix like the other games. Of all the games, I was the least confident with the Mercury. On paper they should cover easily but this is their 5th game in 10 days, 4 game in 8th, & I was worried something had to give. This is why I was playing the under on their team totals.

The Mercury tends to let teams get back into games naturally & I am feeling this will be the case tonight along with their legs catching up to them a bit.
