UFC and NBA Friday Night
UFC:
Barboza vs Ferguson: “No, fight does not go to distance” at -130. With the shorter cage at The Chelsea in the Cosmopolitan, and the explosive power these guys have, it won’t last long IMO.
I also like Lauzon v Dunham “No, fight does not to go distance” at +120, and Edgar by decision at +110 (I think him and Chad cancel each other out, even with the cage).
NBA:
Celtics +5.5
Celtics ML +180
TEASER: Celtics +5.5 and Over 215
I think the Celtics keep it close tonight, and even possibly win. They are relatively healthy (minus Smart), and have won two in a row. They actually are second in the league, behind the Warriors, in points win margin per game. Also, the ESPN probability indicator claims that GSW has a 68% of a chance to win tonight, and that is the lowest probability they have for the rest of 2015 (the rest is over 75%). Klay Thompson is also banged up with a sprained ankle. If there is any night they lose with the rest of the schedule in 2015; it is probably this one.
I bet every Irish donk in Vegas for the McGregor fight is taking the Celtics tonight at +5.5
