Dwyane Wade, Kevin Durant, Dirk Nowitzki, and Kobe Bryant are all long gone 👍

-I think this line is way too low given how he’s playing right now. He was solid again the other night, and just a game before that, he dropped 37 points along with 16 boards against the same opponent. Honestly, he’s carrying the squad at the moment.
Wade over 23.5 @ 1.85
-Since LeBron hasn't been playing at his usual level lately, most of the weight falls on his shoulders. He’s handling it well for now, but he really needs some help from guys like James and Bosh to step up. That said, he’s averaged 28.6 over the last seven matchups (he even put up 32 in the last one two months ago).
Jefferson under 21.5 @ 1.85
-Utah is absolutely rolling right now with six straight wins, and their center is a huge reason why. After returning from a two-game break following his grandmother's passing, he scored 23 and 26, which is probably why they set the line here.🤷But I’m skeptical he repeats that performance; I rarely see him blow past these numbers against tough teams, especially on the road.
Love over 25.5 @ 1.85
-What can you even say about him? After that career night on Friday where he dropped 51 on a tough OKC squad, he’ll probably score half that against Denver—a team whose defense hasn't really bothered him. Plus, with Pekovica out, he’ll likely soak up some of those extra shots. He’s been averaging 30.3 over his last ten games.

I've been following this one, and it looks solid. But man, the results have been totally wild the last few days. Really hoping this one hits tonight.👍

thanks 👍

James Taylor3 said:While I was hunting for some picks, I noticed the spread for tonight is Blazers -8.5 All in. Honestly, feels like a blowout waiting to happen. The Blazers basically have a whole new roster, and frankly, they look even worse than before. They’re absolute trash on the road, struggle hard on back-to-back sets, and they just don't have the size to deal with Gasol and Bynum, who have both been playing out of their minds lately. Plus, Aldridge logged 40 minutes last night, and both Batum and Matthews were out there for over 35. It’s gonna be a rough one for them tonight.

Lakers -8.5 vs Portland—so does that mean we go with 1 or 2?😁

Not much to work with today, so I’m sitting this one out. The only play worth looking at is Howard over 🤷
. Gonna hold onto my cash for tomorrow instead.

Man, give it a rest. You drop two or three paragraphs and suddenly you're a psychic hitting everything perfectly. Then we take one of your picks, try to run with it, and end up totally screwing it up. 😁

Chris Kaman dropped 20, while Steve Nash barely even saw any action.🙂🙂🙂

Chris Kaman is already at 12.
Wall tonight.

Nicholas Chase34 said:01:00, Steve Nash (Phoenix Suns) vs. Chris Kaman (New Orleans), pick: 2 @ 1.75 SS

Let's kick things off with our first matchup, Steve Nash. The Phoenix Suns floor general is definitely in the twilight of his career, heading out to face the Los Angeles Clippers. He’s going up against one of the premier defenders in the league, Chris Paul. Paul is a defensive beast and usually holds matchups down to about 35.7% shooting. Nash has looked decent lately, but that's mostly because he's been facing subpar defenses; teams that actually know how to lock in have shut him down pretty effectively. When he faced the Clippers back on March 2nd, he struggled big time, putting up just 6 points on 1-4 FG and 3-3 FT. At the end of the day, scoring isn't Nash's main job—he's a playmaker through and through, focused on setting others up rather than hunting his own shot. He rarely hunts volume, which is why he ends up under his line so often. Looking at his last five meetings with CP3, he hasn't even come close to hitting the over (12, 10, 8, 3, 6). Since he’s on the road and facing a lockdown defender, I'm leaning toward Nash staying under his average here. Our second duel is Chris Kaman, who's been in decent, if slightly inconsistent, form. He struggles to string together consecutive monster games, but tonight's opponent should be perfect for him to find his rhythm. He put up a massive 21 points last night against the Lakers, who boast one of the best interior defenses in the league. With the Hornets being so thin at center right now—especially since Kevin Landry, Emeka Okafor, and Smith are all sidelined—Kaman is essentially their primary offensive option inside. He hasn't played Washington this season, but back when he was rocking a Clippers jersey, he absolutely tore them apart. In his last three outings against Washington as a Clipper, he dropped 19, 14, and 28 points while shooting a blistering 67.5%. Washington is basically bottom-tier when it comes to protecting the paint (#29). Taking everything into account, I think Kaman takes this matchup.

Damn, what an analysis.🙏 🙏 🙏

Come on, drop 2 or 3 more picks! 👍

Personally, I'd take Nash under 13.5 on this one.

EDIT: Kaman's odds just dropped to 1.55.

Feeling good about
18.5/Granger under 1.85
Iguodala is riding him hard right now; he went under yesterday too, and since he doesn't usually get many looks in the paint, having Iguodala glued to him makes the under look solid.

Just waiting on the Play for the rest of the matchups 👍

I went ahead and mashed all your picks from today together, so here’s what I’ve got:
More Granger, Miami, Indiana, more Pau Gasol, less Kobe Bryant

I was thinking about riding with the Play again, but the spread on the Wizards is just too high and Wallace isn't even in the lineup, plus I didn't have enough time to get into the HL

So everything from the playoffs is officially in the books, huge thanks to the king 🙏🙏👍

Rose and Wall had a great run
thanks play 👍

how many did Maggette score?

I checked out your picks 👍

I'm still feeling Amare Stoudemire under, Minnesota under 97.5, and Blake Griffin over (that one's going on a different slip)

ruggedgull32 said:Any word on whether Kobe Bryant is actually suiting up tonight?😕

This one should work. But if LeBron James is actually going to play, he’s gotta deliver.

Anyone seen the odds for tomorrow? 😲

Indiana-Golden State W. 1 1.35
Chicago-New Orleans Hornets 1 1.05
Houston-Toronto Raptors 1 1.25
Milwaukee-Washington Wizards 1.25
Dallas-New Jersey Nets 1 1.10
LAC Clippers-Minnesota 1 1.25

No way in hell they all hit. 😁

Keith Moore21 said:Just taking a little breather until the All-Star Game wraps up.☕

Same here, honestly.😁

The Warriors haven't lost a home game against them in 7 years, then the second I start playing them, they go and lose. 😁

Nicholas Chase34 said:Before unknown starts playing games with the odds and margins, let's give this a shot:

• Everyone knows what to expect with Amar'e; the Knicks have way too many mouths to feed right now, especially with a solid defender like Nate Smith waiting for him.
• Ricky Rubio should be able to exploit the Utah Jazz's weak backcourt defense—Gordon Harris just isn't providing much protection.
• Kobe Bryant is going to have a rough time dealing with that Dallas Mavericks zone; they are absolute beasts at shutting down guards.
• The Phoenix Suns should handle this road game easily against a struggling Golden State Warriors squad, who haven't even managed to beat them at home in nearly seven years.
• Boston is basically a non-factor without Rondati. 🤷☕

Count me in, boss. I'm riding with you. 👍

stormyseal9 said:After thinking about it for a sec, I just threw down on a standard parlay🤷

Granger over 18.5 @ 1.85
Dwyane Wade under 23.5 @ 1.85
Cousins over 16.5 @ 1.85
LaMarcus Aldridge over 21.5 @ 1.85
Guy over 19.5 @ 1.85

I feel like Wade might get some light minutes since Miami should cruise to a +10 win easily—that's my only real doubt, but the rest should hit fine.☕,

Following along again👍

Why the Guy over though? Iggy's gonna be all over him.🤷
