If they happen to drop it to 15.5, expect some shifts. That's when an over might actually be worth looking at. 😂

I'm not sure—do you really think the SS guys will drop it by at least another basket?
I'll take the over on 17 regardless, but I won't be betting the house on it.

If they move it down to 15 or 16, then I'm in for a standard unit, similar to what I'd play on an under 19.5.

I highly doubt they'll lower the line. It’s more likely they'll just shave the odds on the under 17.5 to something like 1.70. Ultimately, it all depends on Pinnacle, and I'm not entirely sure how aggressive they tend to be with adjusting lines and odds. 🙂

Nicholas Chase34 said:SS dropped it to 17.5 🙄

Hey SS crowd, I'm a bit confused here. The actual line should probably be 30.5 points—can we get a correction? 🤣 😂 🤷

Doesn't matter... I could drop it down to 5 if I wanted. 🤣

At this point, the over is worth a shot. Just looking at that 17-point mark. 🤣

I remember when they dropped the under 22.5 for Jeremy Lin in the Lottery from 1.85 to 1.45, and the guy ended up dropping 27.

Hey Play,

Why Phil against Dallas? There’s gotta be a reason.

I'm asking because, from what I can see, Dallas has been playing lights out over their last few games. The only thing I haven't checked is if anyone's sitting out today.🙄

Gut feeling over spreadsheets here. My instinct points toward these:

Pierce P(-18.5+)-CHI-BOS Over
Allen R(-14.5+)-CHI-BOS Over
Rondo R(-14.5+)-CHI-BOS Over

ruggedgull32 said:...since Martin went absolutely ballistic in the first quarter and already has 10, I could easily go big on him...🙂

Yeah, take him at 12.

I have no idea how they let this half-injured Martin—who’s been playing like garbage lately—drop 12 points in just 11 minutes during the first quarter. 🤦

If the defense keeps playing like this for the rest of the game, the Rockets are going to run away with this by double digits. They could easily clear 110, and Martin might push 30+. 🙄

What kind of king is this Carlos Boozer?

My buddy just blew his parlay because of those 5 fouls.🙂>
He drops 16 points at lightning speed, then hits 2 fouls just as fast...

Thomas Cook54 said:I need a margin of 19.5. That's just 3 more points away, which should definitely hit.

My 22.5 lottery ticket is probably going down too...
Then I remember the under dropped from 1.85 to 1.40 🙂🙂 (which I obviously took at 1.85) ....🙄

Lin is going to burn out eventually.

Playing 43 minutes a night is absolute madness. 🙄🙂

Carlos Boozer and those fouls.🙂
Carlos Boozer at least managed to hit 8 field goals.

Joshua Gonzalez33 said:He just turned it over on three straight possessions. 🙂🙂🙂 🙂🙂🙂🙂

Were you betting the over?

He’s already sitting at 5 turnovers, and the lead is just widening.
I have no idea how much longer the coach is going to put up with this.🤷

And Jeremy Lin manages to drop 4 baskets. Just as I hoped he'd stay on the bench without scoring a single point. 🙂😢 ☕

Come on, Jose Calderon, just manage this "one-eyed" guy until the end of the game. We believe in you. 🙂 🤣

jadewolf16 said:Utah minus 20 😠

They miss nine shots in six minutes without scoring a single basket, all while coughing up five turnovers... 🤮
These stats are worse than an average team in the NLB league.

Talk about a total collapse from Utah.

Honestly, the best way to play is to just go against logic and call it a day.🙂
That’s my new strategy moving forward. ☕

Where is the easy money on the Philadelphia 76ers spread? 🙏

It's just the New York Knicks and Minnesota Timberwolves messing things up; their defenses are a joke. 🙂

Gregory Cooper5 said:Blake Griffin hasn't really exploded yet, or is he just having an off night? I'm not following the live play or the stats—just reading the text updates.

And he probably won't hit the over, honestly.

The gap between them opened up to nearly 20 points.
He’ll likely only see about 10 more minutes of action.🙂 Unless the Hornets pull off a 10-15 point run in the third quarter, which seems unlikely.
Luckily, I swapped him out for the Granger over.☕

darkgull11 said:Come on, relax... they're only down 7 at the half, it's not the end of the world. They'll tighten up and find their rhythm. I'm more worried about Orlando—if Howard doesn't step up, they're in trouble.

My take on Boston, based strictly on what I've seen so far:
A lot needs to fall into place for them to actually pull this off.

Too many turnovers, defense is slipping compared to yesterday, etc.

And there it is—down 9 midway through the third. Like I said, they're just spinning their wheels.

In my head, I’ve already written off Boston.
To be honest, I don't even know why I put them on my parlay when there were plenty of better plays on the board.

They spent the whole game fighting an uphill battle, clawing back to within five, then slipping back to ten, just repeating the same cycle. I'm starting to worry this is a one-way street...😢

Ronald James41 said:Kobe Bryant is playing against Boston, so I passed on him for that reason. Good luck though!
☕

I get it.

I actually took him specifically because logic suggests an under, but my gut tells me the less logical outcome will probably hit instead.

We'll see.

That’s why I went with him in the Durant vs Bryant matchup instead of the over; a 2.0 line isn't something you just ignore.☕

Steve Nash's shot will eventually find its rhythm.
Matchups:

Nash under 14.5
Boston vs LA Lakers - 1
Danilo Lawson over 16.5
Durant vs Bryant - 2 -> I’m eyeing about 35 points for Bryant and somewhere between 25 and 32 for Kevin Durant.

3,4 / 4

swiftbadger30 said:Just asking for informational purposes, do over/under bets include overtime or?

Yes

Deron Williams scored all 16 of his points in the final quarter when he was sitting at 29.🤣
