NBA Betting: Vol. 2

I’m having a bit of trouble following this specific section:
SG Matthews/JCrawford------------R.Foye/K.Martin

Is K. Martin really playing shooting guard for the Clippers?
Surely you aren't referring to Kenyon Martin, right?

The odds just dropped. We're looking at a solid 7.5 point spread for the Chicago favorites. I’d suggest holding off until we get an update on Rose's status first.

LAC coefficient dropped from 1.9 down to 1.75 on the latest SS update

I mean, they finally realized why the experts on this thread have been backing Clippse all along, and now they’re totally spooked 😲 🤣

Keith Moore21 said:They saw why the pros on this thread are leaning toward the Clippse and immediately lost their nerve. 😲 🤣

Exactly. 👍

Let's go, time to clean up on these bets 😁... if we don't, then what was the point of the Rondo over?

Keith Moore21 said:The experts on this thread are backing Clippse for a reason, and the second they saw that, everyone started panicking. Typical. 😲 🤣

Still holding at $1.90 on HL. Unbelievable.

...and nobody’s even bringing up Batum. Can he actually handle a dip past -13.5%?🤷

SG Matthews/JCrawford------------R.Foye/K.Martin

Since when does K. Martin play SG for the Clippers?
You can't be thinking of Kenyon Martin, can you?

He means Kenyon, except he's a power forward. 😍

Clippers moneyline at 1.55
Rondo points over 14.5 at 1.85
@2.8675

@Nicholas Chase34/">@@Nicholas Chase34...thanks 👍

Arthur Hill2 said:Latest word is we should know for sure about an hour before tip-off.

thanks, sounds like he's sitting this one out. Honestly, I'd be pretty shocked if he actually suited up, but hey, who knows... 🙂

🤦

yeah, I meant him but typed it like it was Kevin... man, my brain is fried. 🙈

Got a little mixed up, and it's not even like Martin is 😵 😬

anyway, still sticking with my pick.

Rondo +14
Much like the consensus among most seasoned bettors, he is my pick for today's action...

Wishing everyone the best of luck out there.

EDIT: Pierce has seen his projection dip from 18 points down to 16...

I am simply hoping we don't run into a repeat of yesterday's situation with Kevin Martin...

Pierce Srusen is sitting at 18.5 in the SS, while looking at 16.5 over at 😁

It’s the exact same line over at Pinnacle. You think that's just a wild coincidence? 🤣

Same exact line movement over at DraftKings. Coincidence? I doubt it. 🤣

Nicholas Chase34 said:D-Rose did some shooting this morning—looks like a game-time call against the Celtics. #Bulls

You think this is gonna play out just like what happened with Garnett yesterday?
🤷

D-Rose mentioned he didn't feel any pain during the shootaround. But let's be real—he was just shooting free throws. Plus, he explicitly stated, "I wasn’t able to run any." #Bulls

The man can't even run. I highly doubt he'll see any action tonight. 😬

Looks like the guys over at DraftKings are lurking in this thread because they keep slashing the odds and tightening the margins 🤣🤣

What’s the consensus here? Is Pierce almost a lock for the under?

That’s the one thing I’m holding out for before I drop a massive stack on this, but now I’m second-guessing if I should even bother building my position...

edit: alright, fine. I’ve been reading through the threads and it looks like everyone is dead set on this outcome. Noted.😁

"Well, I suppose I’ll still be the one taking that final shot when things get intense. That last-second attempt should probably belong to me. It’s what I’ve been doing for years now, and if I do say so myself, I think I handle it quite well," LeBron said.

Look, I have nothing against LeBron—the guy certainly has guts, I'll give him that—but let's be honest, Melo is still the king here. 😉

Ethan Kern11 said:What’s the consensus—is Pierce almost certainly going under?

Just waiting on that one specific outcome before I commit a massive chunk of my bankroll—not sure if I should build my position yet...

edit: just doing some reading here and seeing everyone is pretty convinced. Fair enough.😁

Alright, let me weigh in so it isn't just a unanimous vote for the Pierce under. 😁

I don't think that 16.5 line is an impossible mountain to climb—Pierce has a habit of taking over, even when he's having an off night. He knows how to draw fouls, too, and he's reliable at the charity stripe when the game is on the line.
Deng is a solid defender, but a guy like Pierce can catch fire and drop a few triples to cruise right up to that number.

Just my two cents, though. 😁

And honestly, I should probably set the record straight just to be safe 😁

Portland Trail Blazers vs. LA Clippers: Over 188.5

Odds: 1.926 Pinnacle

Confidence: 5/10

I’m too tired to break down the specifics right now—honestly, I just need sleep—but I think the line is set way too low by about 6 or 7 points. Expecting both teams to hit near the 100 mark.
