Rob V: 100% NBA East Conf. GAME OF THE YEAR
(NBA) Miami vs. Milwaukee,
Money Line: -205.00 Milwaukee (Home)
Result: Loss
The game 2 banger is on Milwaukee at 6:30 eastern. We will go with the Money line value here so not to have to win by 5 or more points. As Seen below game 1 teams like the Heat are 11-42 in game 2 off a win. Miami has failed to cover 8 of 11 as a dog and 6 of 8 as a playoff dog. They had the extra rest and blind sided the Bucks in game 1. The Heat are 0-7 ats on Hump Day and have failed to cover 7 of 9 off a win of 10 or more. The Bucks have covered 12 of 15 off a loss of 10 or more. FINALLY from the database we see that rested conference favorites off a conference favored spread loss by 10 or more are 14-0 straight up since 1995 vs an opponent who is off a spread win by 10 or more as a conference dog if that team had 4+ days off prior to the win. Bucks bounce back tonight.
