The Mavericks opened up last night at -7.5 over the Knicks. At this number, I liked New York enough to make them one of my Plays Of The Day, in hopes of continuing a nice run of recent prognostications in the NBA (18-11, 62%, Feb 28-Mar 19/07).
Then today, after Dirk Nowitzki is profiled on the main Sports page at Yahoo.com (see German engineering: The European dream), Dallas begins to get pounded by the average fan driving up the number even higher, first to -8.0 and then to -8.5, a full point inflation fuelled exclusively on gameday action/interest.
This now becomes a most interesting situation.
Time to double-up ... on the Knicks ... who tonight (at +8.5) will be one of the rare teams in the league with a favourable match-up situation if/when the Mavericks (inevitably) decide to go with their small line-up.
NYK +8.5 over DAL (NBA)
[NBA rec'd: 66-68]
[NCAA-MBB rec'd: 1-1]
