    Multiple NBA players test positive for COVID-19 for a second time, sources say
    With the CDC having said it expects people to test positive for coronavirus on multiple occasions, some NBA players have again tested positive for COVID-19, sources told ESPN.

    I’m done with NBA after tonight. I know there is a little bit of wanting some action and there is nothing else. Degen’g NBA is just gonna end up in sadness.

    Nobody has an edge in the present environment. Who the fuck knows who is playing or more importantly what the players are feeling emotionally. There is a reason Silver just got tight with the team mental health protocols.

    There is also the whole fitness/injury deal and load management with no off season practice or frankly “no offseason”. What is wrong with me?

    The NBA did a good job with the bubble. When they go back to that or address the sketchy nature of the games and the cancellations the public is gonna question whether it’s even legit.

    What the fuck is the LeBron probable nonsense. Nobody ever “knows” anything ever. It’s stupid.

    Hockey starts tomorrow.

    San I have a bunch of NHL futures picks, but due to Covid I just can't pull the trigger.

    Hawks Lightning over 6.5 +100

    Hawks totals may have to go to 7 or 7.5 this year?

    I don’t do futures anymore. The only one I have done was Pats under 9 wins cause of where I live.

    You can always bet stuff mid season anyway if you want


    Please talk more NHL. It’s time.

    I know less about hockey than I do college basketball on balance so I’m asking for help here. Guy I really trust tells me that TB (Probably best team in NHL) is -250 at home vs Chicago (worst team and best player sitting out in protest). He’s calling the ever so dangerous “Free money” call on it.

    Thoughts?

    1. A tiny rule change for offsides. Your skate doesn't have to be on the ice, it can be above the blue line to remain onside. Might end up with less challenges, but we're talking about like 20 goals or so across the whole year for all teams.

    2. Taxi squad may help teams on back to backs. I have it noted to keep an eye on things

    3. Interesting schedule due to travel. You play the same team 2 or even 3 times in a row at times.

    I think a lot of people leave this thread open and check it for locks every few hours.

    Sorry buddy I try and stay in my lane. I don’t know nearly enough about Hockey/Basketball to hand out advice to others.

    Lol at the new NBA Covid rules.

    1. Players in home market have to stay in their homes only interacting with family or staff

    2. Players on road not allowed to leave hotel, and no non-team guests allowed

    and a bunch more.

    The bubble seemed to work well last year, I'm not sure why why NBA/NHL didn't go with a bubble format of some sort. I would have to think that playoffs will have to be in a bubble to avoid catastrophes.

    Remember I talked about the Knicks and their unders? Well, it happened again. I considered the Memphis/Cleveland game, but talked myself out of it (ugh). Then I considered the Knicks under. I talked myself out of it because Charlotte has had a lot of fairly high scoring games this season. However, that easily covered as well.

    The Knicks started out the season going over twice out of the first 3, with totals of 228, 198, and 240. However, since then, they've played 8 games, and had the following totals: 181, 183, 208, 221, 212, 190, 203, 197. All but the 221 total went under -- mostly way under. Today's line was like 211.

    They've also scored 88 or 89 points in their past 3 contests.

    The Cavs have been similar, but even more reliable to score low:

    First two games were 235 and 247 (OT). Since then? 214, 181, 218, 187, 186, 199, 184, 190, 192. Almost all of these were under, as well. Today's final line of 206 easily covered under. The Cavs themselves have not seen 100 points since December 27.

    What about the Grizzlies?

    Again, similar. Started out scoring a lot, but Morant hasn't played since December 28 due to injury. In the first game without Morant, the total was still 233, going over (though Memphis only scored 107).

    However, in 2021, we've seen these totals: 201, 202, 186, 184, 225, 192

    As long as Morant remains out, it's probably wise to look at them for unders, as well.


    It is possible these trends will change, of course, but these three teams have been incredibly reliable for the past 6-9 games regarding low totals.
    Utah Cleveland under 207. No place for doing anything but the conventional.

    Phila Miami emergency room mash unit shitshow .... if it plays ..... phila -7

    Maybe a BOL parlay or teaser to gamble the 76’ers not playing

    No Kyrie Nets very attractive
    Utah/Cleveland under ran so pure. Thank you Druff Hope you played it too.

    Teasers are a huge crutch now. But it’s working for me.

    There’s China last night if you doubted me nancy

    They aren’t monks. They are, for the most, part kids. I try to remember even if the situation blows as a gambler.

    Mental health. NBA is already a mental health mess.

    Hockey has gotta be a bigger Covid risk than NBA. Tougher kids mentally. We will see.

    Thanks to the Harden trade, the Nets will be very shorthanded, with only 9 players on the roster. Harden can't play, Irving still out (lol), etc.

    I already discussed the Knicks.

    Starts in a few

    NY/Brooklyn - Under 217

    If you missed that, here's one starting at 5:05 PT

    Memphis +119 (moneyline) at Minnesota

    Feels good to get a dog line against terrible Minnesota, even if they're against the crappy Grizzlies.
