The Sixers have won all three games and covered the spread in each since James Harden's debut on Feb. 25. Will that trend continue?
“Fear the Beard” isn’t just some snappy slogan meant to sell $30 T-shirts and fake facial hair accessories. It’s been a way of life for local bookies since James Harden joined the Sixers. They are fearing the beard.“It hasn’t been fun on this side of the counter,” said Tom Gable, director of the race & sports book at the Borgata in Atlantic City. “We’re down to +650 to win the title; [we have] liability on them to win the conference and the championship.
It’s obviously a small sample size, so things likely will even out. For one, the lines will get tighter, while the odds and limits get smaller. For another, the Sixers competition will get tougher. “Since Harden arrived,” Gable said, “they’ve been covering the spread and going over the total, which has not been good for us.”The final season of Mike Krzyzewski’s remarkable tenure at Duke will hit another milestone on Saturday with his final home game at Cameron Indoor Stadium, against rival North Carolina.Not talking about his 13th ACC Championship or his club’s eight consecutive road wins. But even better is that the Blue Devils are 17-11-1 against the spread.
IUPUI went 3-26 this year, bowing out in the Horizon League first round when injuries and apathy forced them to field a roster of five total players. FIVE. And one of them has a foot injury that soon will require surgery.
