Milwaukee is playing without Andrew Bogut today, and they're also missing Jackson, who is serving a one-game suspension. Along with Jennings, those two are essentially the backbone of the Milwaukee squad. I suppose if the Lakers can manage to shut down Jennings, Milwaukee might find themselves with very little left to work with tonight.
A quick question for you, James Taylor3 or Arthur Hill2...
Since Jennings is likely the only real heavy hitter for the home team today, my gut tells me that most of the shot attempts will probably fall his way... though, then again, if he actually decides to take charge and drive the offense, that’s a whole different story altogether. But I wonder, would it actually be worth betting on Jennings to go over 20.5 points at odds of 1.85?
P.S. You can catch the Milwaukee - LA Lakers game live on SportKlub at 2:30 AM.
Here is one for tonight; I actually took some inspiration from what Jonathan Young29 and James Taylor3 were saying. Their reviews were quite persuasive, so I guess I’ll follow their lead. Best of luck to everyone...
Jonathan Young29 said:NBA: Utah Jazz vs Toronto Raptors - Jan 26, 2012; 03:00 (Dominik Hasek) PICK: Al Jefferson (Utah Jazz) over 18.5 points @ 1.85
Could use some help here.
I noticed Al Jefferson isn't in the starting lineup tonight. I suppose I wonder if this is just a regular rotation thing or if he’s actually dealing with an injury. It seems a bit difficult to see him hitting that 18-point mark if he's coming off the bench, I guess.🤷
EDIT: Another thing that caught my eye—it looks like Toronto is running two centers out there, while Utah doesn't have any listed in the starting five. Since Jefferson is a center, the whole matchup feels a little strange to me. I'm having a hard time making sense of it all.
I wonder if there might be any realistic chance of Howard hitting 21 points tonight? He’s already sitting on three personal fouls, which makes me think... I guess we have to consider how much longer he'll actually stay on the floor before he's forced to sit out.
I suppose I'm just writing this out of pure desperation; today was an absolute catastrophe, though I'd like to think the night might turn out a bit better.
I guess we’re only at halftime, but LeBron James is looking quite efficient so far—he's already knocked down 8 of his 9 field goal attempts, went 8 for 9 from the free throw line, and managed to rack up 5 rebounds along with 4 assists. 🙏
Since I've been having some technical difficulties with the SS website, I won't be able to actually place my bet, but I figured I would share a screenshot of my ticket along with my thoughts for tonight's games.
Carl Brooks5 said:What’s the situation looking like in Miami tonight? Are Wade and James actually going to suit up?
"Even if they don't have to face LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, the New Jersey Nets still might not be able to snap their losing streak against the Miami Heat.
LeBron James and Dwyane Wade could again be out of the lineup when the visiting Heat try for an eighth consecutive victory over the Nets on Saturday night"
I was wondering if it might actually be worth placing a single bet on the New Jersey Nets to win at 3.60? Given that the lineup is missing both Dwyane Wade and LeBron James, I suppose there is a certain logic in backing them, but I can't help but feel that the odds might be a bit too generous. What do you experts think about this one?
If you ask me, I think the sportsbooks, especially places like Super Sport, really ought to consider offering player props for assist and rebound totals. I seem to recall they offered something similar last year, probably during the playoffs, though I can't quite remember exactly when.
I was wondering if someone might be able to lend me a hand here...http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/boxsco...1007....I've been looking at the player scoring stats...and I'm a bit stuck on what the abbreviation for personal fouls actually stands for. I think I recognize most of these shorthand terms, but I'm just not quite sure about TO and PF...thanks so much.
Arthur Hill2 said:I find myself leaning quite heavily toward Deng going over 17.5 today. He seems to be in such excellent shooting form lately, and since he’s playing around 40 minutes per game, I suppose you at least have plenty of time to get frustrated with him if things don't go our way. 😬.
I have to admit, I was somewhat under the impression that Deng was going to absolutely tear them apart early on—I honestly thought he might drop fifty on them. Instead, he ended up finishing with just twenty, which feels like a bit of a letdown given how he started.
Jerry Grant51 said:It seems he’s forgotten how to find his rhythm so far; he's sitting on a 0-for-5 shooting slump and has already picked up two personal fouls.
So, I guess it’s actually happening. It looks like they're finally heading in.😉

Uploaded with Imgur Since I haven't had much luck lately with tickets sitting in that 2.0 to 2.5 odds range, I figured I might try my hand at one involving a total of 27 points for the Dallas Mavericks and the Houston-San Antonio matchup. Everything else here is really just going off of pure gut feeling... though, if I’m being honest with myself, I probably wouldn't even bet ten bucks on this based on intuition alone. But hey, it's the holidays, so why not? 😉
