shadowgardener10 makes a fair point; he clearly doesn't give a damn about how things are playing out right now 🙂

Carmelo needs to step up his game

Better this way, honestly:

Lu and Rip are out

It’s actually for the best. Rosa is going to have to step up and go wild, and that just makes things easier for Carmelo Anthony to hit the over. It's practically tailor-made.😬

Portland handles their deposits without any issues at all; just give that some thought.☕

It’s still anyone’s guess at this point. I’m holding off until KC drops the official word.🙂

Carmelo Anthony and Derrick Rose are too much for them tonight. As far as the game goes, I think Chicago takes this one, especially if Deng returns. 🤷

Knicks Luol Deng
Luol Deng (wrist) is expected to play tomorrow for the Bulls vs Knicks.

Alright, now that I see the Miami handicap was actually on the slip, I feel a lot better about this. 😬

Being such a heavy underdog ☕☕

He sat out the last quarter, which is the exact same reason Rose stayed on the bench too. Honestly, there isn't much point in overanalyzing it. 🤷.

He was struggling tonight, though I suppose everyone was.

It’s a real shame. My parlay had OKC, Parker, Deron over, and KH on the Wizards. Looks like Boozer was the only one who blew it. 🙂

Boozer is basically a legend when it comes to trolling Chicago fans, just like he is for Carlos.🙂

It is honestly unbelievable how much the refs are targeting the Boozers... let's go Carlos! 🙂

@Ronald James41/">@@Ronald James41 With Wade back in the lineup, Bosh becomes an incredibly shaky bet. As a whole, trying to predict which one of those three will go over is nothing more than pure guesswork.

There are 11 games today. Immediately, the matchup between OKC and Dallas caught my eye, along with Miami. I’ve found my core picks right there. I'm leaning toward an under for Granger; I feel like it's due for a dip. Of course, we're also riding with Deron for the over. Advice? Counter-advice?

EDIT: Griffin hits the under 22.5 again, especially in a cold environment like Utah where nobody really gets aggressive? Advice? Counter-advice?

I looked into the numbers, and Philly allows nearly 19 points at the PF position. Boozer averages 20 against them. With Hamilton and Deng out, let's be honest—the only real options are Rose and Boozer. Rose will likely double up in the fourth quarter (just like Carlos did last time, going over, then Rose doubles, triples 😬 while Boozer is left hanging like a ghost).

I agree regarding OKC; they aren't going to drop two in a row. 😉

Compared to this season, Griffin is a much bigger candidate for the under than the over. I recall last season when he would easily clear 40 points. 😢

I think we should lean back toward Boozer.

In the Bulls' last six wins, Boozer has been putting up 20.8 points per game, which stands in stark contrast to the 21 points he scored during their previous two losses. Last season, he was a force against Philly, averaging 20.7 points and 11.0 rebounds.

Without Dwight Howard, Orlando would just be playing radio for the Washington Wizards at the bottom of the standings. Get your heads in the game; yes, the coach is leaning heavily on Howard 🤦

Made the handoff to Chicago, though it was way tougher than I anticipated. They were up by 20 at the start of the fourth quarter, but they managed to claw it back down to that unlucky eight-point margin 😬

Carlos Boozer drops 10 points in the final quarter and saves the parlay 🙏 🙏

No way, what Wall is hitting right now is pure luck. It isn't going to keep falling for him the entire game; Rose is handling this situation just fine.

I mean, look at how Rose is playing otherwise. 😂

It would probably be best to go with the contrarians then, yeah.

Since Hamilton, Denga, and CJ Watson are all out, expect Boozer to be seeing a lot more action with the ball today.

It’s honestly not even surprising that Ruzica and LeBron James missed all four of those shots right at the end. 😍

Actually, they weren't even playing; this photo is from the game against Toronto. 🤦

My lock for today is Wall under. Rose seems frustrated with his own performance lately, so he’ll likely go hard on Wall tonight.

Wall went 3 for 14 from the field and scored only nine points in the most recent meeting at Verizon Center, as Rose scored 21 to lead Chicago to a 105-77 win last Feb. 28.
Wall is averaging 13.3 points and 4.3 turnovers in four career games against Chicago.

Also, taking Chicago -8.5 wouldn't be a bad move to try:

The reigning league MVP now looks to help the Bulls avoid their first back-to-back regular-season losses since Feb. 5 and 7. Fortunately, they've won their last six meetings with the Wizards - the last three by an average margin of more than 20 points.

We might still see it happen, perhaps.

But it’s a stretch.

Deron went over the limit.

I could easily take the over on Williams, honestly.
