    Minnesota vs. Phoenix - Under 225

    Golden State +130 at Lakers (sorry fellow Lakers fans)
    Washington +185 at Boston (Jaylen Brown out, Washington has been excellent past 8 games - but they are playing back to back)
    Interesting. Whats your thought....Minny short-handed and on a b2b? I don't pay as much attention to NBA totals betting as you do, so I'm guessing I'm taking the public side here. I know Phoenix has been dropping 125+ on every average/weak defense they've faced lately. Minny, I'm guessing KAT eats up Ayton tonight, like a possible 40 pt night. Line just struck me as almost 10 points too low.

    Let's throw a Lakers under in there.

    Aside from their recent game against the Wizards, they've hovered around 200 in totals for the last 6 games.

    Lakers under 220

    Between the blowout factor, Minnesota back-to-back, and Phoenix's slower pace last time out, and the Suns holding opponents to 97-100 in 3 of the past 4 contests, and the sharps being on the side of the under on this one, I like the under in this game.

    Not optimistic about this Washington pick. Already down 9, and Westbrook playing like shit.

    You know it's not going well when Davis Bertrans has been your best player through 1 1/2 quarters.

    Of course the Lakers have to pick this game to play well for the first time in weeks - the first one all season where I've bet against them.

    Wiz playing better... sitting 3 back at the end of 3, after being down 11 at one point.

    gogogo Westbrook and Beal

    Washington about to blow a 5 point lead with 46s left.

    They had the ball 110-107 with 15s and Beal stepped out of bounds

    Now 110-109 and Boston has the ball with 12s

    Yup, 111-110 Celtics. 4.7s left for the Wizards to hit the final shot. Unbelievable. Tatum just killed them with 6 points in 39 seconds.

    Yup, they miss the final shot and lose by 1.




    Some pretty bad luck this week. Wizards gave this one away.

    Not going to be a good day. Shooting for 2-2 again, if both unders can hit.

    Beal put down 46 but ultimately blew it with a dumb TO

    Looks like the Phoenix under will hit, and Lakers under hit pretty easily.

    Interestingly, this makes me 4-1 in the last 2 days in totals (almost 5-0, had it not been for that trash time BS yesterday with OKC), and 0-3 in moneylines (though to be fair, I should have won the +185 Washington bet today).

    Well Jeff I think I’m finally going to light some Rory money on fire this weekend. I think this may be it for him.

    I’m adding Sam Burns to my maiden list. Feel strongly he’s going to win one this year and this week may be it.

    Looking at the Philly/Indy game, one can gamble regarding questionable players.

    On the Pacers side, Brogdon and Lamb are questionable. On Philly's side, Embiid is questionable, while Harris is definitely out (after initially being questionable).

    I like Indy if Embiid doesn't play and Brogdon does. And I like the under if Embiid doesn't play, regardless of Brogdon. But at the moment, it's kinda hard to say on both the total and side.

    Of course, one can just fire based upon guessing about the status of these guys.

    Opinions?

    *** MONEYLINE ALERT ***

    I've lost my last 3 moneyline picks, but that doesn't worry me. Washington +185 should've won last night.

    I'll take another shot at beating Denver.

    Chicago +160 at Denver (Milsap out)

    Embiid AND Brogdon are playing.

    I will sit this one out.

    Still looking at Spurs under, as they are missing 5 players (including Johnson and White) due to COVID protocols. Starts in 95 minutes, so I'm still deciding.

    Okay, I'll fire on the Spurs under.

    And I'll add an over into the mix.

    Charlotte at Portland - Over 230 (230.5 ok)
    San Antonio vs. Brooklyn - Under 233

    Bulls have been hovering around 10 down pretty much the whole game, but they're within 4 right now, nearing the end of the 3rd.

    Considered the Pelicans because I kinda liked them today, but the Jazz are really good, and the Pels are huge chokers, so I couldn't bring myself to fire. They were down during the first half, but now are up 11.

    Damn. Hopefully Chicago can have a good 4th and I won't feel so bad about missing New Orleans. 2 point game.

    Another super close dog bet.

    Chicago up 6, then blew lead, now they've been tied for awhile. Final 2 min.
