SportsMarketplace – NBA Edition
Marketwatch caught an unlucky break before the games even started lastWednesday, as Atlanta’s star sub Jamal Crawford was a late scratch due to ashoulder injury. They were already missing big man Zaza Pachulia and simplydidn’t have enough firepower against the Heat. Ultimately they lost 94-76,missing the cover by a whopping 25 points. Our other featured game went alittle better, as both point guards that Portland employed last week (AndreMiller and Steve Blake) went for 20 points and held every Sun but Amar’e under20. Against Phoenix, that is a recipe for success, and the Blazers won as a bigdog on the road, 108-101.
