62-44 Portland up 18 at half over New Orleans. How bad did vegas blow this line?

 I saw Portland as a +6.5 opening underdog . This is the NBA, and 18 point leads at half are never completely safe. I would expect a big Pelicans push.

   But can somebody tell me is this just a fluke, or did the oddsmakers really miss something here?

 I know Portland is back to back on the road, and a triple overtime at that, but this is still a very young athletic team. It doesn't effect them the same it would a veteran team like the Spurs.

Who bet Portland??

If you have a cash out option in play, I would withdraw big funds for Portland and hedge with New Orleans. the odds for the Pelicans to come back is +600..

biggest thing that is mind boggling for where the oddsmakers heads were at is realizing Portland is  21-6.. Pelicans are 13-12..  and Portland has wins against elite teams to top it.Deeper stats aside , sometimes you just can't read too deep into a team being in a bad spot schedulewise.

Should have they been an underdog best of the back 2 back on the road and exhaustion- yes. But a team this talented at +6.5 is a joke.

I'm betting NO to hopefully win the game 2nd half, and hope the exhaustion hits Portland hard here.. +600 value is worth a smaller wager

NONEED 4 LUCK-

I'm on board with you bro

like it man

 and agreed Honest- Guy..  that tempo was a horrible idea

I took Portland. If you missed it that's understandable but anyone who bet on NOP has wayyy too much faith in Davis.
