I see him listed as questionable; the line movement says he is out. So I bet the Mavs tonite.

I know Kahuna and Wraps have discussed this idea before in the context of faves v dogs. What do you guys make of it when the team starts as a fave and moves to be the dog?

    Yes, What I find interesting and also the things I love about the NBA this morning report

    Nowitzki is nursing an ankle injury but expects to play Friday against the Clippers.

    Yesterday we had the almost the same thing with the Cav game except in the morning it appear there was a chance that K. Irving was going to play. the number then goes to three then when the news comes out that he's not playing the number naturally goes back to -2 where it opened but the
    the total stood the same for a while and then the Under got pounded down to 193.5. from 197 starting around 2:30pm

    Now that we know Dirk isn't playing the number is still 204 this has to come down at least to 200/201. Would if be an advisable to buy back the 204 and wait until near game time at what I feel is going to be a much better number. The NBA is a funny place.

    OT: Kirk slows the pace down, but he does score. I played over at 203.5. I don't see this total moving lower than that #
    but like you said the NBA is a funny place.

    I personally played the Clippers -1.5 assuming Dirk would play, without him if I could still find -1.5 , I would play it again. Not as happy with my 204 over at this time but will stay pat. Good luck with your guys position , maybe we can get the Clips to win by 2 and all be happy.

    I understand what your saying but Dirk is a go to guy who's a freak 7 footer. Let me ask you if you knew Dirk wasn't playing would you consider Over 204. By the way seriously with me thinking everyone playing I made the total 204. While were on the subject of Hoops I think GS although playing very well of late is in a bad spot tonight as a road favorite. I'm in the minority on this one. There 3-1 without Horford but really haven't beaten anyone. I still played the home dog going against a team in a bad scheduling spot and coming off beating the World Champs

    OT: I'm on Atlanta also and so is Kane. Hopefully it ends well for all of us.
    I play all Buffett plays. I had it lined at 208 with dirk and with out him I have 206. I got 203.5 when Buffett released
    Pace will be fast and hopefully the shots go in.

    That's why last year we had that discussion about injuries in the NBA and I don't pay to much attention to them other then making a bet on the first game a star is out . It's hard to keep up with the NBA and there Day to Day Bull-Shit.

    Good talking to you guys family gone Holidays over hit my target date of Jan 2 a good bowl season it doesn't get any better. kane,wraps all the guys hope everyone's holidays went well.
