We were able to follow up our 2-0 Friday with a 4-2 Saturday and now try and move this little run forward.
Continuing with NBA handicapping.The long NBA season is filled with injuries.Pay attention to the injuries that matter ignore the injuries that are irrelevant.The public generally over reacts when a high profile player goes down.However when key role players go down or their are cluster injuries at one particular position you generally do not see the necessary impact on the line.
Accurately valuing injury situations are critical for any handicapper.It has nothing to do with how good the player actually is but how replaceable that player is with the current roster.
Remember teams that are without their superstar at least for the first game have a tendency to step up while at the same time the opposing team maybe taking them lightly.However few teams can carry that forward for any length of time with role players having to play extended minutes is never a recipe for long term success.
There will be more on NBA handicapping next week.
