Honestly, I think it's high time the Celtics played a real game

Man, what an absolute takeover on Griffin. He’s shutting him down perfectly.

man, ma nba.com is absolute garbage. there are like 100 other sites that are way better than that

If you're betting on the NBA, my best advice is to just hang tight and wait for the injury news about thirty minutes before tip-off. The season is a total grind—it’s short, the pace is relentless, and because they don't practice much, injuries are popping up everywhere.

Not feeling it tonight, honestly. I think I'll just take the over on Griffin. I'm banking on the Nets keeping up so Blake doesn't end up rotting on the bench during the fourth quarter.

Man, how could you not have known? Like, we pretty much knew everything 20 minutes before it even happened.

Our guys over at the sportsbook have zero clue, they’re just copying and pasting. Look at Chicago on Boodo—it's -5, but those idiots at the betting shop put Memphis +3.5 at 1.95. They're just ripping info from elsewhere when everyone already knew Rose wouldn't be playing.

Hey, crimsonangler1, why aren't you just waiting for the news to actually break? Honestly, what Chandler was doing on that menu... seriously, mad respect.

So, I'm doubling down on Memphis

Derrick Rose (toe) showed up to the FedExForum rocking a protective boot, so he’s looking questionable for Monday's afternoon tip-off.

It looks like Rose hit a minor setback, making him a total game-time decision. While Tom Thibodeau is staying optimistic about getting him out there, Bulls writer Aggrey Bitt says that Rose seems doubtful. Luckily, The Bulls play four times this week, so there's not much risk in holding off on starting him in your weekly lineups.

Word on the street is that Rose might be sitting out tonight's game. We should have some actual clarity on this pretty soon.

I'm taking Memphis +3.5 and Augustina under 15.5

Alright, I'm jumping in. In the West, we've seen 3-pointers being made at a rate that puts them second overall this season, but honestly, the real issue is just that the numbers look lower because it's a shortened season.

Only Washington and Detroit managed to clear that margin, and even then, it was only by a couple of buckets. I don't see a hard-hitting, fast-paced Oklahoma team pulling that off.

Look, my advice? Just skip it. Oklahoma plays such a fast-paced, run-and-gun style that their possessions only last about 10 seconds. Just take a look at those Boston scores for these two teams—honestly, you'll probably decide to pass on this one yourself. 🙂

I think it’s worth taking a shot on Memphis tonight. Even though I was hoping for a better line, ml King is playing right there in Memphis, and the home crowd always seems to give them that extra spark. They usually come out firing, so I wouldn't be shocked at all if they take down a solid Chicago squad.

There's a huge chance Melo plays tonight.

So, I blew my whole bankroll on those morning lottery picks and some $19.50 parlays, so I’m running pretty low on cash now. I’m gonna try to swing for a win on the Hornets, Mimica, and Bryant—looking at something like 4/10.

Maybe I'm wrong about the Rozan spread if Miami stays hot, but honestly? Betting the under on Giannis feels like a lock to me. I really think we're seeing a total blowout against Miami tonight—they’ll be dialed in after those two losses. Plus, that Italian guy tweaked his ankle in the last game, so that's gotta factor in.

Maybe even go with Rozan if Barnjan isn't an option.

I lowered the odds because it’s obvious people are starting to bet on them
