    Under actually looking ok at halftime. It's the OKC moneyline which is in huge trouble. Totally didn't expect Porter to light up 3s like that. Oh well, that's gambling.

    Philly under is gold if it stays out of OT. Not loving the Nets game's start, but still early.

    One of those days where I'll be happy with 2-2.

    I might survive this OT but pretty bad that this Philly pick is very possibly headed there.

    Pick should still be good unless double OT.

    Wow, tons of points in this OT. Cleveland better win this.

    Incidentally I considered Cleveland moneyline but couldn't pull the trigger. Went with the wrong team for the dog moneyline today.

    Whoa. Covered by 1. Who expected 37 points in OT?

    Still a (deserved) W.

    Unfortunately, 2 of the picks are pretty dead (especially OKC moneyline), so the best I'm doing is 2-2, if the Thunder under holds.

    Philadelphia vs. Cleveland - Under 222
    IÂ’m looking at

    Seth Curry o 13.5 -110 points
    I ditched the other Curry bet and went Green o 9.5

    Harris out. Allen and all help will try to stop Embiid. Simmons doesnÂ’t shoot. Cavs get burned by perimeter shooters. Went from ranked second in defense through 12 games to 23-26 range.

    Okoro is the only guard who can play even passable defense for Cavs. He will be on Simmons most of the time. The SG and teams 3 point shooters being covered by the other two midgets have been going off nightly. With Harris out, I expect Curry and Green to get up a good amount of shots. IÂ’m going to take a winger on Meth Curry.


    Added Joe Harris o 16.5 -110
    Nice hit Druff.

    This is getting comical.

    I’m the least superstitious person alive and I swear this thread is cursed and I know I’m going to lose the minute I open this thread and decide to share. You guys should pay me to post to fade.

    I get on a roll with player props and all I have to do is post it here and even with OT, no prayer.


    I’ve been tracking this since midway through the west coast swing for Cavs. Opponent 3s made and %.

    Last 15 games

    Rockets-10 3s on 30%
    Hawks 14 3s on 45%
    OKC -13 3s on 46%
    Denver 15 3s on 48%
    GS 17 3s on 46%
    LAC 13 3s on 44%
    Portland 13-37%
    Den 16 3s -46%
    Phx 11 3s on 46%
    Bucks 16 3s 47%
    Bucks 7 3s 32%
    LAC 20 3s 58%
    Min-11 3s. 29%
    Min. 16 3s. 40%
    Knicks 10 3s 41%


    Tonight was perfect spot with Okoro on Simmons who doesn’t shoot. Two midgets guarding Curry who shoots 47% from 3 and Green shoots 39%. I decide to share and:

    Curry tonight 1/13 from field and 1/7 on 3 and 4 points.
    Green 3/9 for exactly 9 points.
    Had o 9.5 points and he played the rest of the game and OT and went scoreless for last 12 game minutes after scoring 9th point with like seven minutes in 4th. Couldn’t give me the split and score one more point

    Only second team in last 16 games to not get double digit 3s despite OT against the worst perimeter defense in NBA.

    Joe Harris is 2/4 from 3 and won’t shoot again tonight. Nets have 65 at half and my guy is sitting there with six points as clear second option.

    Cursed. I hate all of you.

    The amount of meaningless fouling in the last 2 minutes of a 30 point game making it go over is disgusting. Then a 3 pointer on the last shot of the game to top it off. Over by 1 1/2. 16 points in the final minute and a half.

    Yeah I thought we had that one. I have no idea why there was all that scoring and fouling in a blowout. Really disappointing and surprising finish.

    On the bright side (for me at least), the Nets under looks like it's going to cover after a 132-point first half. 44 points in the 3rd, and 26 so far in the 4th at the 3:51 mark. Provided the Nets don't make a miraculous comeback to bring it close, I should get this one.

    You can get the whole field v Gonzaga and Baylor for -141 for National Championship.

    Gonzaga played 3 real teams first 3 games. Iowa, WV, and Kansas back in November. Beat Iowa and Kansas by like 10. WV by 5. Michigan beat Iowa by 22 this week. Baylor lost to Kansas by 12 yesterday. Had like 12 games canceled. Only played 19 and maybe 4 good teams.

    Gonzaga played 22 straight bad teams after tough start.

    Gonzaga should be the favorite, but I’m betting Michigan. Think they are best team. Field for -141 I like a lot. Last team to run the table and tournament was 1975 Indiana-32 team tourney. Been a few from much better conferences to fall short.
    Last 5 before were those UCLA teams in 60s, early 70s. 25 team tournament. Other two were a couple in 50s with Bill Russell.

    Baylor isnt great. Doubt they’ll make it beyond 8. Beat 2-19 Iowa State by 5 in last minute game before they lost yesterday.

    All the teams played like 20 games and it’s really hard to tell. I like Michigan, but I really like the field against what I see as Gonzaga in Covid year where anything can happen.

    Let the record show since this post his odds at BOL went from +7500 to +3300

    Granted he pulled a bagger Vance and put three in the water in the back 9 yesterday so he’s not going to win but he’s still crazy value.

    Disclaimer: I don’t know shit about NBA

    Someone that does tells me there are still locals that are hanging J Embid for MVP at +300 or better. If you got one now is the time.

    UNDER ALERT: Ohio State vs Iowa under has been dropping like crazy. Opened 161, now down to 156/156.5, I got in last night at 158.5. I thin 156 is still a decent number

    Really like Grace too. He can really putt when he gets locked in. Took a bad beat from him when I had Louie two years ago in the South African Open. This is a good spot for him. Def gonna put a few bucks on him.
    Decent eagle on 17 there!

    We did it!!!!

    Sorry, I've got the other side of this one.

    Minnesota vs. Phoenix - Under 225

    *** MONEYLINE ALERT ***

    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)

    This one looking pretty good. Would've bet it but I wasn't on here to see it.
