    Definitely the moneyline. The -180 with $100 bet would win approx $55

    **the over/under is 222.5 pts

    My understanding if you bet the spread you are giving Houston 4 points. The -180 means that you have to bet 180 to win 100 if you are not betting spread.

    Yes we are favorred to win just like we were almost the reverse betting with the bookies on the Miami game. Betting the spread is difficult especially with last second shots. I am always impressed how on a game to game basis they are correct on the winning side. But hence giving points on a bet and having to bet more than 100 to win a 100 evens the odds of making money. There is also the juice. I believe that if the odds were perfectly even on the 100 you would still have to pay 110 to win 100. This is referred i believe as the juice which makes money for house usually no matter who wins. However betting on a season for a championship is always a crap shoot in my opinion due to injuries during the season. If you are betting on Houston you are + and your 110 bet would get you back 158 plus your 100 for a total of 258.

    Clearly the moneyline. I wonder when the last O/U in the 180's was? 2004 Pistons?

    Nurk feasting on BBQ Chicken down low. Also, I love me some Josh Hart fastbreaks. Reminds me of Porter on the break.

    Great start for Sharpe. I also loved how Nurk was planting his feet in the paint on offense before going up to score. Both guys now on the bench but great to see what they did while in.
