Did the Hornets just become an elite squad overnight or something?

It’s always the same story, whenever they set a low line like that... some absolute garbage team ends up winning.
I swear the NBA is rigged, man.

Look, usually a plus sign goes with the underdog, right? Like, the Hornets are worse than the Brooklyn Nets, so they get +2.5, meaning the Nets have to win by at least 3 for that spread to hit. Nothing weird there. Take the LA Lakers, for example—they've probably got a +2.5 just because their record isn't quite as good as the Miami Heat, even though they aren't underdogs at all, especially at home where the Lakers are basically untouchable at 16-2.🤷,nothing crazy about it, really.☕

Both of them should go over, but man, I have no clue if Chris Bosh is actually coming back to the lineup? If you ask me, Dwyane Wade is a much safer bet than LeBron James🤷, but since someone always finds a way to mock my picks, n🤷ever mind, just let me vent here! I’m looking at Kevin Garnett over, Pau Gasol over, Wade over, Tony Parker over, Blake Griffin under if he hits 22.5, Chris Paul over if he gets 19.5, and maybe Monta Ellis over since Stephen Curry isn't playing🤷

Actually, scratch that, too many changes. I'm ditching the standard parlays because someone always manages to ruin one single leg and kill the whole thing

Danilo Lawson over 15.5 @ 1.85
Derrick Rose over 23.5 @ 1.85
LeBron James over 28.5 @ 1.85
Carmelo Anthony under 16.5 @ 1.85
Tony Parker over 18.5 @ 1.85
Blake Griffin under 22.5 @ 1.85
Kobe Bryant over 28.5 @ 1.85 SS

6/7 system ticket

Just a little statistical hunch for the people
Kevin Garnett over 14.5 @ 1.85
Luis Scola under 15.5 @ 1.85
Steve Nash under 13.5 @ 1.85
Tim Duncan over 13.5 @ 1.85
Charlotte Hornets (189.5) vs Brooklyn Nets under 1.85
Isaiah Williams under 21.5 @ 1.85
Carlos Boozer under 15.5 @ 1.85
DeMarre Evans over 17.5 @ 1.85
Toronto Raptors (192.5) vs Golden State Warriors under 1.85 SS

8/9 system, just a small play

I'm telling you right now, if you aren't looking at Batum over 14.5 points, what are you even doing with your life? Seriously, look at the odds—1.85! It’s practically sitting there begging to be taken! Why would anyone pass on this when the momentum is clearly shifting his way? I mean, just think about it for a second, does it make any sense to bet against him right now? Not a chance! I’m feeling it in my gut, man, it's a lock!
Man, I’m telling you right now, if you aren't looking at Al Jamison over 17.5 points tonight, what are you even doing with your life? Seriously, look at the matchup! Are we really going to sit here and pretend he isn't primed to absolutely tear it up? I've been staring at these numbers and it just screams to me—it's such a steal at 1.85! Why would anyone pass on this? It feels like a total no-brainer, honestly. I'm feeling it in my gut, man, he's gonna go off!
I’m telling you right now, if you aren't looking at the New Orleans Pelicans going over 87.5 points, what are you even doing with your life? Seriously, are you just watching the games to fall asleep? Because I am seeing all the signs, all the momentum, and honestly, the odds at 1.85 are just sitting there practically begging someone to take them! It feels like such a lock, you know? Like, how can anyone look at this matchup and think they won't hit that number? It’s almost insulting to suggest otherwise! Just get on board already!
Man, I’m telling you right now, if you aren't looking at Monroe over 16.5 points, what are you even doing with your life? Seriously, the odds are sitting at 1.85 and it feels like such a gift, you know what I mean? It’s one of those plays that just screams at you to take it! Why would anyone pass this up when he's playing with this much energy lately? I don't know, maybe some people just like losing money, but I'm riding with him on this one!
Kevin Durant over 28.5 points at 1.85? Are you kidding me right now?! You seriously think he’s hitting that mark? I mean, look, we all know the guy can go absolutely nuclear whenever he feels like it, but asking for nearly 30 is a massive ask, isn't it? Is he really going to carry the load like that tonight? I don't know, man, I just don't know! It feels like such a gamble, even if the odds look tempting on paper. Who knows what kind of defense they're going to throw at him? It's a total toss-up!

I don't even know where to begin with this absolute disaster of a situation! Are we seriously just going to sit here and pretend everything is fine when it clearly isn't? It's like everyone involved just decided to take a vacation right when things started getting heavy! How does that even happen? You’d think someone, anyone, would have stepped up to fix this mess by now, but no, it's just total chaos! Honestly, I'm losing my mind just thinking about it!

Carmelo Anthony over 16.5 points at 1.85? Are you kidding me right now?! I mean, seriously, look at the odds! You really think he isn't going to clear that bar tonight? It feels like such a steal, honestly, like we're just handing money away if we don't take this. I don't know, maybe I'm just seeing red because I've been watching these games all week, but how can anyone doubt his scoring output lately? He’s got that rhythm, you know? That flow where everything just clicks and suddenly he's dropping buckets left and right. Is there any reason to bet against him? I really don't see one! Let's go!
Man, I’m telling you right now, if you aren't looking at Russell Westbrook over 23.5 points tonight, what are you even doing with your life? Seriously, are we just going to ignore the energy he brings every single time he steps on that floor? It’s honestly wild to me how people doubt him, like, do you even watch the games or are you just staring at the ceiling? He’s got that motor that just never quits, and when he gets rolling, there is absolutely nothing anyone can do to stop him! I'm calling it—he clears that line easily. Just get on board already!
Man, I am telling you right now, if you aren't looking at Dirk Nowitzki over 20.5 points, what are you even doing with your life? Seriously, look at the odds—1.85—that is basically a gift wrapped on a silver platter! How can anyone sit there and doubt he’s going to hit that number? He's got the rhythm, he's got the touch, and honestly, who is actually going to stop him tonight? It feels like such a no-brainer that it's almost frustrating to even talk about, but here we are! You really think someone else is stepping up to shut him down like that? I don't think so!
I’m telling you right now, if you aren't taking the Under 24.5, what are you even doing with your life? Seriously! It’s such a lock at 1.85, it's almost insulting that anyone would pass on this. I mean, look at the matchup, look at the pace—does anyone actually think they're going to clear that number? I don't think so! You've got to follow the logic here, people! Why would you risk your hard-earned cash on the Over when the math is screaming at you to take the Under? It's a total gift! Just grab it and go!
Man, I’m telling you right now, if you aren't looking at Granger over 18.5 points, what are you even doing with your life? Seriously! The odds are sitting at 1.85, and honestly, it feels like such a steal that it's almost insulting. You look at the matchup and just think, how could he *not* hit that number? Is anyone else seeing this? It’s practically screaming at us! I don't know, maybe I'm just fired up today, but I feel like this is one of those plays where you just have to bite. Why would you pass this up? Just get on board already!
That’s all I've got for today!

Here’s my setup for today, just going off pure gut feeling and some stats that honestly don't even make sense if you look closely enough🤷

Gay over 18.5 @ 1.85
Paul Pierce over 17.5 @ 1.85
Carlos Boozer over 14.5 @ 1.85
Joe Johnson over 17.5 @ 1.85
Tim Duncan over 14.5 @ 1.85
Pau Gasol over 16.5 @ 1.85
Kobe Bryant under 28.5 @ 1.85 HL

Doing a standard 6/7 system bet here☕🙂🙂🙂

Christian Garcia36 said:Oklahoma pulled that move ☕, and here I was thinking about going even harder against them with my picks, but I just couldn't 🙂

Honestly, looking at tonight, I’m really digging what stormyseal9 picked, especially taking the over on Westbrook and Aldridge 👍

Don't even bother, man, because you're just gonna be crying about it later😍

Since the selection today is pretty weak, I’m just throwing down a basic ticket and praying to God it actually hits😍

Russell Westbrook over 23.5 at 1.85
Blake Griffin under 22.5 at 1.85
LaMarcus Aldridge over 21.5 at 1.85
Greivis Vasquez over 17.5 at 1.85
Batum over 14.5 at 1.85 SS

Just a small little bet☕

I'm expecting a much better performance from Russell Westbrook because even though he had a total garbage shooting night last night—going 7/20 and missing the over by just a hair—he should definitely be able to clear it today, right? Then you've got Blake Griffin playing on the road where he usually hovers around the 20-point mark, plus the Sacramento Kings just don't seem to mesh well with the LA Clippers, and if I recall correctly, the Clippers have dominated them in 23 of their last 26 matchups, and they're looking pretty solid at home this season. As for LaMarcus Aldridge, he really needs to start playing up to his reputation now that he's finally back from injury, and honestly, I think the margin here is way too slim, especially since he always seems to step it up big time when he's facing tougher teams🤷, and regarding that French guy, Batum, he’s clearly found his rhythm lately, so even though he struggled tonight, I don't see that happening again today; but whatever, I'm not getting my hopes up too high because let's face it, the NBA has become a nightmare to predict lately🤷

Keith Moore21 said:Aside from Detroit (if you're betting on the Play, but honestly a straight bet works for me), I’d still take Al Jamison over 17.5... if they still don't have Veras for Cleveland, it means everyone is basically banking on Jamison as their only real guy under the rim, so his minutes should be decent—around 35 minutes. He was playing out of his mind before the All-Star break, dropping 20ish points regularly in his last 5 or 6 games, taking 15-20 shots, and I’m expecting him to hit at least 5-6 threes, maybe sink 2 or 3 of them, plus all those easy layups Kyrie Irving is gonna set up for him... if he just stops throwing those bricks, he cruises right past this line. Plus, he probably got some rest during this 4-5 day break, which is huge since the guy is already 35, you know? Stoudemire is keeping him in, and we all know how much of a defensive liability that guy can be... so yeah, everything points to an over here...

edit: wait, I’m such an idiot, the Cavaliers played the Celtics yesterday and Jamison just couldn't get anything going against KG, shooting 3-of-15 and barely getting 8 buckets, but whatever, it doesn't change my mind, I still think he hits the over tonight even if he missed it last night 😬

Don't use that game as your benchmark because that Boston defense just isn't his style, and he went under in all three matchups against them; besides, he took fewer shots than usual and shot a pathetic 25%, which is almost twice as bad as his average🤷, you can grab him at 16.5 in HL😍

Man, there are so many games on today and honestly, the player props are looking pretty juicy if you know where to look, especially since I feel like guys like Jeremy Lin and Kevin Durant are totally getting overlooked right now🤷

Kevin Durant over 27.5 at 1.85
Jeremy Lin over 16.5 at 1.85
Kobe Bryant under 28.5 at 1.85
Dirk Nowitzki over 23.5 at 1.85
Russell Westbrook over 23.5 at 1.85
Tony Parker over 19.5 at 1.85
Rose over 23.5 at 1.85
Richard Jefferson over 18.5 at 1.85 SS

7/8 system bet☕

Al Jamison over 16.5 at 1.85
Tim Duncan over 13.5 at 1.85
Pau Gasol over 16.5 at 1.85
Kevin Love over 21.5 at 1.85
Gay over 19.5 at 1.85
Jennings under 18.5 at 1.85 HL

Just a tiny little stake here🤷,good luck to everyone today

Man, after taking four whole days off from the NBA, we’re finally back at it, and I am seriously hoping we kick off this new run with some massive wins instead of the usual headache😍

Jamison Dirk 23.5 1.85
Boozer over 15.5 1.85
Griffin over 21.5 1.85
Granger over 18.5 1.85
Evans over 17.5 1.85
Nowitzki under 24.5 1.85 SS☕

Paul Pierce over 18.5 1.85
Jennings over 18.5 1.85
DeRozan under 17.5 1.85
Williams Dirk 23.5 1.85
Jefferson under 19.5 1.85 HL🙂

Honestly, if you ask me, the lock for today is Jeremy Lin over 17.5, because man, he was just chilling yesterday, playing maybe 32 minutes, taking 11 shots, and still managed to sink 17 buckets? Are you kidding me? I’m looking at him today and I’m seeing him take at least 20 shots and drop 25 makes easy. It's a total no-brainer!🤷

Dwyane Wade over 23.5 @ 1.85
Jeremy Lin over 17.5 @ 1.85
Tony Parker over 19.5 @ 1.85
Kobe Bryant over 27.5 @ 1.85
Kevin Durant over 28.5 @ 1.85 National Parlay☕

Let's see the National crowd step up already!🤷

LeBron James over 27.5 @ 1.85
Josh Smith over 16.5 @ 1.85
Dwight Howard over 20.5 @ 1.85
Tim Duncan over 13.5 @ 1.85
Pau Gasol over 16.5 @ 1.85
-10.5/Miami Heat - New York Knicks @ 2 @ 1.85
LAL over 92.5 @ 1.82
Russell Westbrook over 24.5 @ 1.85
Amar'e Stoudemire under 17.5 @ 1.85 National Parlay

Running an 8/9 system with a small stake here, let's go!🙂

Man, what a brutal night, I completely blew my whole spread🙂, I swear this is only the second time in my entire life where I’ve felt like throwing everything out the window, it’s just such a massive waste when you realize how much money you're leaving on the table because you aren't hitting those big wins like you used to😍, Honestly, I should just stick to my own system instead of messing around with these pathetic little exhibitions where I'm just picking four or five random parlays🤷, But hey, today is a new day

darkgull11 said:The board isn't looking too exciting today, honestly, but there's one little play with a small stake that caught my eye... I've got a feeling the Miami Heat are going to absolutely steamroll Sacramento, so here's what I'm leaning towards:

Handicap on Miami -13.5
Dwyane Wade over 23.5
LeBron James over 27.5

Just a tiny wager so I can follow along with the game...

Look, if they end up blowing them out, you're probably screwed on those over bets for Dwyane Wade and LeBron James because they won't even see thirty minutes of action!🤷 Just look at how they play against the weaker teams lately—both of them almost always hit the under when it's a blowout scenario.🤷

vividbison47 said:man, I'm still riding with you on this one👍

but seriously, why the hell would anyone take the Guy over? Iggy is basically babysitting him at this point🤷

Look, if you're gonna bet, either ditch him entirely or just play the under, because let's be real—Guy is probably gonna shoot about 20 shots and miss most of them like he always does. If he hits like, 8 or 9 shots plus maybe a couple free throws, that’s more than enough to hit the under, right? And have you seen his stats lately? It's rare for him to even touch 20 field goal attempts anyway, so why risk it?🤷

After doing a little bit of thinking, I finally just went ahead and placed a standard parlay🤷

Danny Granger over 18.5 @ 1.85
Dwyane Wade under 23.5 @ 1.85
DeMarcus Cousins over 16.5 @ 1.85
LaMarcus Aldridge over 21.5 @ 1.85
Donte DiVincenzo over 19.5 @ 1.85 HT

I mean, I’ve got a feeling Wade isn't going to see much action since the Miami Heat should basically cruise to an easy +10 win, so that's my only real doubt, but honestly? I think the rest of these guys are going to hit their numbers easily☕,

James Taylor3 said:Man, he was just born in Germany at some military base or something, I read that just last year. His old man is probably gonna be some big-shot soldier like 🙂

Maybe he’ll disappear just like how Shaq ended up being from Swabia because his dad was a pilot if I remember right🤷, I know it always said Alaska, but the point is he messed us over more times than I can count🤷, personally I think Pau is bad luck, but he isn't gonna screw me over as much as I'm gonna keep playing😍, my advice to everyone is to keep an eye on the margins across different sportsbooks so you can head to wherever the line is highest if you're thinking over or looking for a high under🤷, good luck to everyone today and let's go grab a win against our common "enemy"☕

James Taylor3 said:Go look it up on Wikipedia.

I happened to be following him since his days playing for Duke, and from what I know, he was born in Anchorage, and honestly, I highly doubt "Carlos" is some foreign name—it doesn't even sound like that to me, it’s a bit too much of a stretch, isn't it?🤷, people put way too much faith in Wikipedia where literally anyone can just go in and write whatever nonsense they want. P.S. Carlos Boozer of the Utah Jazz was born in Juneau, AK... yeah, I know he's from Alaska, just correcting my own slip-up there, but that has absolutely nothing to do with anyone else unless some random ancestor drifted over there a few centuries ago (and let's not get into debates about someone being from Alaska versus being foreign, the point is he just messed up, plain and simple), because you can never actually predict in sports how many shots someone is gonna take or just how precise they'll be.

James Richardson3 said:Hey guys, can anyone hook me up with some picks for tomorrow? Like, maybe 4 or 5 players with unders or overs, plus 2 or 3 moneyline plays? I don't care if they're total point totals or whatever, just need something to work with by midnight tonight so I can toss it all into a big messy parlay or some kind of system bet...😁

Look, you should try Danny Granger over, Tony Parker over, LaMarcus Aldridge over, and maybe Andre Iguodala under if he hits 13.5, plus Marc Gasol over and Al Jefferson over if he lands at 17.5🤷

Ethan Kern11 said:Man, Carlos Boozer, you smell like absolute garbage, how can you be such a total loser? Seriously, is it even possible to stay under the line two games in a row like that? Are you actually betting on your own unders or what? Go jump in a lake, you bald jerk.

Alright, let's look at Dallas Mavericks and Tony Parker now, if I can even manage to pull my buy-in back out of this mess 🤷

Well, wasn't Boozer supposed to be at 15.5? In the future, you gotta watch both the HL and the SS because there's a massive difference in those margins, just like how I go out every day looking for where the margins are highest, but damn it, Marc Gasol goes and drops 16 instead 🤷. There isn't a single player who has screwed me over more than him by just one measly point 😍. It’ll get better, we just need to track more bettors and grab the best odds because that one single point can absolutely wreck your nerves 🙂. P.S. Anyway, Boozer is from Alaska, so maybe it's not everyone's fault this time around
