Feeling good about this one: Portland vs. Memphis, let's go over 187.5 @ 1.85

I don't know about you guys, but I’ve been thinking lately about how much we love to overanalyze every single move a player makes, almost like we're sitting in some high-tech war room at the Pentagon trying to decode secret signals instead of just watching a game of hoops. It’s kind of funny when you think about it—we take these incredible athletes, people who basically have superpowers, and try to fit their entire careers into these tiny little boxes or spreadsheets, which is honestly a bit like trying to explain the magic of a sunset using nothing but a bunch of math equations. You can get all the data you want, sure, but you're still going to miss the actual feeling of being there, you know? I’m looking at taking over 20.5 points at +185 odds for the halftime line, which honestly feels like a total steal if things start heating up early.

Stoudemire’s been absolutely tearing it up against Charlotte this season, honestly; he basically treated both of their matchups like his own personal playground, dropping massive numbers in every single game they played. Twenty-five points on the board! Honestly, seeing that number pop up feels like catching a green light when you're already running a little behind schedule—just that smooth, effortless momentum that makes everything click.In that opening game... I honestly feel like we’re looking at a bit of a rough patch right now, kind of like when your favorite baseball team hits a mid-season slump and everything just feels slightly off, you know? It’s that weird stretch where nothing seems to click perfectly, even though you know the potential is there if everyone just finds their rhythm again.He was hitting 1-of-3 from beyond the arc and went 4-for-5 at the charity stripe, but honestly, I’m looking forward to seeing how he shakes things up in the second game. Field Goal 7-25He was struggling a bit from deep today, going zero for two from beyond the arc, but honestly, he made up for it at the charity stripe by knocking down 11 out of 13 free throws.

"My head is just spinning with all kinds of thoughts right now," Anthony told reporters after the Knicks dropped their sixth straight game, which included a brutal stretch where they lost four at Madison Square Garden in just six nights. "It's like, what am I actually doing out there? Where am I missing the mark? Look, I've been in this exact spot before when the shots just aren't falling, so I'm constantly second-guessing myself—like, should I be moving the rock more instead of forcing it? I'll honestly sit there and tell myself that if I need to shoulder the blame for our offensive droughts... well, I'll take it. I'll own it." He paused for a second before adding, "I can be pretty stubborn sometimes when coaches suggest I should grab a seat on the bench for a few minutes, you know? It's not always easy to hear that, but maybe it's finally time for me to take a step back and really look at how I'm handling things."

Look, if we’re being totally honest with ourselves, we really need to step it up as a crew and start pulling together a bit more effectively. It’s kind of like when you’re playing a pickup game at a local park and everyone is just running around solo instead of actually passing the ball; you might have some talented individuals out there, but without that cohesive rhythm, you’re basically just spinning your wheels. We’ve got all the right pieces on the board, but we need to find that sweet spot where everyone is in sync, moving toward the same goal like a well-oiled machine, rather than just acting like a bunch of independent contractors trying to finish their own separate tasks. If we can just tighten up our communication and start looking out for one another's blind spots, I know we can turn this whole thing around and actually start seeing some real momentum. It’s all about making sure we actually get the rock into Amar’e's hands when he’s ready to work."Look, I've got the rock in my hands right now," Anthony said this past Saturday. "It might just be my responsibility to step up and make things happen." I’ve been thinking, maybe I just need to feed him the rock a bit more often, you know? It feels like if I can just get him involved in the flow earlier, he'll find that rhythm and really start helping the team out. Anthony mentioned that he's planning to sit down with Amar'e Stoudemire to hash things out and get on the same page. He basically wants a setup where if he starts overstepping or playing too aggressively, his teammate will just give him a heads-up—it's all about that open line of communication. He's looking for that kind of accountability where the guys on the roster can call him out if he's going overboard, because that's just how they aim to run things. Apparently, they've already had a few group huddles and team meetings, but honestly, this private one-on-one conversation feels like something that should have happened a long time ago.

I really think Amare is going to get a much better look at the rim in this game, and honestly, it’ll be such a relief to see Anthony stop forcing those contested shots since he's clearly realized that playing hero ball isn't actually helping the team win.

Man, you look at the Charlotte Hornets and it’s pretty clear that their defense inside the paint is just a total disaster zone right now.It’s all about those high-percentage plays, you know? I'm talking about when things just fall perfectly into place—those easy rim dunks, smooth lay-ups, or even those lucky little tip-ins that keep the momentum swinging in your favor. It’s like when you’re cruising down a highway in a classic Mustang and everything just feels effortless and right.So, if you look at what they're actually giving up on average, it’s pretty telling. Man, looking at those stats, we’re talking about 30.7 shots per game, which is honestly just wild to think about when you consider how much action that adds to the floor. It's like watching a high-octane offense where they aren't just looking for the perfect look, but they're constantly throwing things at the rim, kind of like a heavy-hitting team in the NBA just relentlessly attacking the paint until something finally breaks. So, I was just sitting here thinking about how you'd actually go about putting something like this together—you know, looking at the nuts and bolts of what it's all made of. It’s kind of like when you're staring at a high-end custom ride or a piece of heavy machinery and you start wondering if it's all solid steel or just some clever mix of composites and high-tech polymers holding the whole thing together. Basically, I'm just curious about the raw materials and the actual build quality that went into making this a reality. 18,8 (61,2%) Honestly, when you look at that specific position, those guys are pretty much bottom of the barrel for the whole league. Check out this breakdown of shot locations for the team over at http://hoopdata.com/oteamshotlocs.aspx—it’s honestly such a cool way to visualize where the action is actually happening on the court. It’s kind of like looking at a heat map for a major metropolitan area to see which neighborhoods are buzzing, except instead of coffee shops and subway stations, you're seeing exactly where our guys are finding their rhythm and dropping buckets. If you've ever wondered if we're leaning too hard on those mid-range jumpers or if we're truly dominating the paint like a powerhouse franchise in Chicago, this data lays it all out in a super clear, visual way that makes the whole game sense much easier to digest.

Amare is basically the kind of player who just keeps letting it fly, averaging a ton of shots every single game. 5,3 Man, talk about a total fluke! That win was nothing but pure luck, honestly. 64,1%In that opening matchup against the Hornets, he was absolutely dialed in from deep, hitting some seriously clutch shots. 7-8Man, while things were looking pretty rough in that second one, it was actually starting to pick up... 3-12So, looking at how things are shaking out, it seems like Amare had plenty of looks right under the rim during that Charlotte game, and honestly, I don't see much changing in that department tonight. He’s really gotta capitalize on those gaps in the Hornets' defense by being aggressive and just driving straight to the cup whenever he gets the chance. Plus, since C. Anthony basically admitted he needs to cut back on the hero ball and actually start feeding Amare the rock, aiming for a solid 21 points feels like a totally reasonable bet for him this evening.🤷

Nicholas Chase34 said:Triple:
It looks like Pierce is playing at a -18,5 spread against Boston, which honestly feels like a bit of a wild ride if you ask me. It’s one of those situations where you just have to sit back and see if the momentum shifts, kind of like watching a heavy underdog try to take down a powerhouse like the Celtics in a late-season matchup. I’m feeling pretty good about going over 1.85 on this one, honestly. It feels like one of those bets where everything just lines up perfectly, kind of like when you're grabbing a burger at Five Guys and they actually give you extra bacon without you even asking—just a little unexpected win that makes the whole thing feel right. I've been looking at the numbers, and there's just enough momentum there to make me think we're cruising past that mark.
Russ Westbrook is honestly just built different, you know? Like, watching him play is kind of like watching a high-speed chase through downtown Chicago where the driver just refuses to hit the brakes—he’s all energy, pure chaos, and somehow makes it work every single time. 1 @ 1,85
WilliamsD(-18,5+) - Chicago native Hey, just a heads-up for anyone looking at the stats—we're talking about someone standing under 6 feet tall here.

Single:
Milwaukee (+6.5) vs. Atlanta 2 @ 3,30 Two buckets! Just two shots down, and honestly, I’m feeling pretty good about how this is going to play out. 🙄

Honestly, you might want to steer clear of Portland today because those Trail Blazers are absolutely struggling whenever they hit a back-to-back; they’ve gone 0-4 against the spread in their last four games where they had zero days of rest, so it’s looking pretty rough. 🤷 It was super obvious when we were playing against Detroit, honestly. I’d much rather see us try out an alternative approach, kind of like the one wiredcanyon39 suggested earlier. Man, if you're looking for a wild ride, betting on the halftime/fulltime outcome to go 2/1 is like watching a comeback story straight out of a classic Hollywood underdog movie—you know, where the hero gets absolutely pummeled in the first half only to come roaring back in the final minutes to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. It’s that total rollercoaster feeling where everything looks bleak at the break, but then the momentum shifts completely, much like a late-game rally by the Dodgers to turn a losing streak around. It's definitely a high-stakes play, but hey, that's where all the fun lives, right? I'm still waiting to see what you've got for me! Just drop the text whenever you're ready and I'll get right on it. I can't believe we're already at the fifteen-minute mark on this one, honestly! It feels like just yesterday we were all getting settled in, and now we're cruising right through the mid-point like it's nothing. It’s kind of wild how fast things move when you're actually enjoying the ride, sort of like how a quick weekend trip to Vegas can feel like a total blur if you aren't paying attention. Just wanted to drop a little note to say I'm still vibing with everything happening here!

First impressions:
Indiana Man, watching the Pacers lately feels like sitting through a classic summer afternoon in Chicago—just that steady, warm energy where things feel easy and fluid, even if you aren't sure exactly how the day is going to end. They’ve got this vibe that reminds me of those old-school road trips where you don't have a strict itinerary, but somehow you always end up at the best diner in town. It’s all about that rhythm, you know? Just flowing from one play to the next without overthinking it, kind of like a perfectly paced jazz set at a local lounge. Even when things get a little chaotic on the court, they seem to just roll with the punches and keep that upbeat momentum going, which honestly makes them such a blast to follow. Orlando The Sixers are looking pretty solid right now, honestly. It feels like they’ve finally found that sweet spot where everything is clicking, sort of like when you finally get your car tuned up perfectly and it just glides down the highway without a single hiccup. You can tell there's a real rhythm building up with the squad, and if they keep playing with this kind of energy and cohesion, things could get really exciting for the fans in Philly very soon. Man, if you're coming in under 6 feet tall, you've definitely got your work cut out for you.

Triple:
Pierce P(-18,5+) - Boston vs Orlando over @ 1,85
MartinKev(dk) - Westbrook R. 1 @ 1,85
WilliamsD(-18,5+) - Chicago vs NY Nets under @ 1,85

Single:
Milwaukee(h+6,5) - Atlanta 2 @ 3,30

Alex Cook said:Thinking Westbrick goes over 20.5 points, what do you guys think?

If you ask me, I’m leaning toward the under on this one, because his home average is sitting right around 17, and he’s actually taking about five fewer shots per game when he’s playing at home compared to when he's on the road. Plus, once Oklahoma gets a lead against a team like Detroit, they might just cruise through the fourth quarter and let their starters chill out a bit.

And honestly, looking back at how he matched up against Detroit last season, he wasn't exactly lighting it up—he averaged just 15 points over those two games while shooting a pretty mediocre 33.3%. 🤷

rustyseal92 said:I wouldn't go poking the bear when it comes to Boston. They cruised to a 15-point lead yesterday without breaking much of a sweat, and they kept that momentum going until Pierce picked up four fouls and had to head to the bench. Plus, if they get both Allen and Rondo back in the mix today, things could get spicy.
If you ask me, it might be smarter to look at the over for Pierce; he was taking most of the shots yesterday, and I’d bet my bottom dollar he’ll be doing the same thing tonight. He even spilled the beans himself: "I'm one of our, if not our main scorer on this ballclub," Pierce said. "That's my role. I haven't been doing a good job of it lately, but a lot of that has to do with just being in game shape, getting my legs stronger, being able to get up and down and jump." My guess is he'll try to play it smart on defense and stay out of foul trouble so he can stay on the floor.
Also, don't sleep on Dwight Howard—he's been averaging over 30 points against Boston for the last two games, so that's definitely an option worth considering.

Bottom line though, we gotta be careful here. Boston is playing at home, they're a seasoned squad, and there's a really high chance they'll show up with their full strength.

Boston, back-to-back, Orlando to win at 1.75, yeah, thanks ☕

Honestly, you should just target Boston whenever they're playing back-to-back all season long. They aren't exactly built to handle that kind of heavy schedule, especially with this shortened season format. So far, Boston hasn't managed to snag a single win against any of the heavy hitters.
I mean, if they can't even beat those old-timers from Phoenix, what are they supposed to do against Orlando and Howard? 🤷☕

Tim Duncan I’m feeling pretty good about taking the under on 13.5 points at 1.85 odds for SS.

Tim Duncan basically sat out almost the entire fourth quarter last night, only checking back in right before the final buzzer sounded. He ended up logging about 25 minutes total on the court, putting up 10 points while shooting 4-for-8 from the field and going perfect from the line at 2-for-2.

It sounds like Coach Pop might be looking to give Tim Duncan a little breather quite soon, which honestly makes total sense given how much he carries the load. It’s kind of like when you’re driving cross-country and realize you need to pull over at a Buc-ee's just to stretch your legs and grab a snack before hitting the road again—you can't just run the engine hot forever without a quick pit stop. He's been such a rock for the team, so seeing him get some well-deserved rest seems like a smart move to keep him fresh for the long haul.
Tim Duncan Has played in All 13 Games sol Far, averaging about 26.3 minutes whenever he steps onto the court. Honestly, if he wants that 35-year-old body to actually hold up until the playoffs, he’s definitely due for some downtime. Coach Pop hasn't officially picked which night he's going to pull him from the rotation just yet, but it feels like one of those back-to-back stretches we have coming up this week would be the perfect time to let him catch his breath.

Since this is a back-to-back game, I’ve got a feeling they might play it safe and probably dial back his minutes to around 20 at most. 🤷

When it comes to the Denver Nuggets, I honestly think it wouldn't be a bad idea to give them a shot over at SS:
The matchup between the New York Knicks and the Denver Nuggets is looking like a massive showdown, especially considering that seven-point spread they're throwing out there. It’s kind of like when you’re watching a high-stakes game in a big city like Chicago and you just know the energy is going to be electric from tip-off to the final buzzer. 2 @ 3,3
The odds on that specific handicap over at Bet365 are looking like... 2,75 So, that’s exactly why this coefficient actually carries some real weight. 🤷☕

Arthur Hill2 said:He could probably put Tony Parker in there too, honestly it's such a relief when you're on the same page as me regarding this stuff 🙂.

I'm pretty sure that info came straight from that one site, though I can't say for certain http://www.hoopsstats.com/

Yeah, that definitely looks like it's from that site 👍 🙂

Arthur Hill2 said:A quick "lock" for me: Carlos Boozer over 15.5. He cruised past that number in his last two outings—even though he sat out the fourth quarters—and since Eric Gibson got hurt the other night, Boozer is probably going to have to carry a bit more of the load tonight.

I also have a feeling the Miami Heat might run into some trouble against the Philadelphia 76ers, who are looking like the best defensive unit right now, especially since Andre Iguodala could be a real handful for LeBron James.

I'm right there with you on Boozer, mostly because the Charlotte Bobcats are just struggling big time defending the power forward spot, letting opponents shoot about 48.2%. Tyrus Thomas just isn't cutting it as a defender.


Another pick I'm eyeing is Tony Parker over 18.5 .
The Houston Rockets are giving up way too much space to ball handlers.


🤷☕

stormyseal9 said:You can grab as many overs as you want from that other ticket, just copy them if you feel like it🤷, I remember one day I put an over on the Wall and everyone was telling me there was zero chance, then it hit without a hitch🤷, I just play based on gut feeling and stats, plus you can never really predict how a player is going to show up on any given night🤷, I’d bet on fifteen baskets right now and be happy as a clam😍

Look, I'm totally capable of picking my own games, but hey, thanks anyway! :P

I get that trying to guess what kind of shape a player is going to be in is a massive headache, but that's why we dig into all those little details—things like injuries, deep-dive stats, and recent trends that nudge you in a certain direction. It helps you weigh whether to lean toward the over or the under, making those calls way easier to swallow and hopefully helping us actually see some profit in the end. 😉 😁

I don't really know what to make of that one, honestly! It feels like one of those random bits of chatter you see floating around the internet that doesn't quite land, kind of like when someone tries to explain a niche indie movie plot to you at a loud party and you just end up nodding along because you have no clue what they're talking about. It’s just super vague, you know? Like, if we were sitting at a diner in Chicago grabbing some breakfast, I'd probably just give you a puzzled look and ask for more context before I could even begin to wrap my head around it. It's all just a bit of a mystery to me right now! kaže:
Why not?🤷If you take a look at his stats, he’s mostly hitting the under lately, but honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if he goes over just to mess with me.😍If he actually starts hitting his shots, I might just have to start betting on him, but honestly, right now, the bar feels way too high for what we're seeing.🤷

Look, I totally get where you're coming from with all those stats, but I really think you're overlooking the caliber of the guys Gordon is actually going up against out there.
The Grizzlies are honestly such a beast when it comes to protecting the paint, like they really own that area under the rim, but man, once you get out to the perimeter, their guard defense starts looking pretty shaky. It’s kind of like watching a heavy-duty security system that’s bulletproof at the front door but leaves all the side windows wide open. Take OJ Mayo, for example; he’s clearly more focused on being an offensive threat and hunting for buckets rather than worrying about locking down his man on the other end of the floor.
Gordon has always had this incredible knack for tearing it up against Memphis, and honestly, if you look back at last season, he absolutely cooked them with one of those massive scoring outbursts coming straight off the bench. 25 I can't quite make sense of that one—it looks like a typo or maybe just a bit of gibberish, but if you were trying to get a point across or start a conversation about the game, just hit me up again! I'm always down to chat.(FG 8-17, 3P 4-9, FT 5-5) It looks like you might have hit send a little early there! I'm ready to get to work whenever you've got the text ready for me to transform. Just drop the content here and I'll jump right in. It feels like he’s only getting about 23 minutes of action per game lately, which honestly feels like such a missed opportunity when you consider how much potential is actually sitting there on the bench waiting to be unleashed..
It feels like this season, Detroit is really stepping up and leading the charge. Greg MonroeSo, looking at the scoring breakdown, you've got the team's top scorer leading the charge, and then right behind him comes Gordon chipping in with about 14.6 points per game, followed by the usual rotation of Knight, Stuckey, and Prince.
I’m thinking Monroe is actually going to have a massive matchup against a younger Marc Gasol here, though I suspect the game plan will mostly revolve around leaning on Gordon to really exploit those weaknesses the Grizzlies have in their backcourt.
It feels like Gordon just hits a different level when he's playing in front of his home crowd, honestly. His stats always seem to jump up whenever he's back in his own backyard, and seeing him put up even better numbers at home is pretty wild. He put up 16 points on 44.8% shooting, which honestly feels like a pretty solid outing if you ask me.Plus, he’s actually hitting his shots from deep at a really solid clip.(51,9%).
I should probably mention that he won't be suiting up for Detroit. Rodney Stuckey is putting up a solid 11.3 points per game right now.

Looks like we won't be seeing Rodney Stuckey out there on the court this Friday since he's dealing with a groin injury, so he's officially sidelined for the game.
So, it looks like Rodney Stuckey is still battling that nagging groin issue, and even though he’s been stepping up as the spark plug off the bench lately, it's clearly still weighing him down. It’s kind of like trying to run a marathon when you’ve got a pebble stuck in your shoe—you might manage for a bit, but eventually, it just slows you down too much. Because of that, he's going to have to sit out this Friday. This honestly opens up a massive window for Brandon Knight to step in and soak up as many minutes as he can muster, so let's see if he can really take the reins!

I actually already jumped on him for the over 14.5 at 1.85 odds over on SS... I think I mentioned that in the thread right before this one!
I’m really pulling for him to land right on exactly 15 points just so you can snag that pick, but honestly, looking at how everything is shaking out right now, it feels like he’s probably going to blow past that number way faster than we think.
I’m usually the kind of guy who lives and breathes the under, always looking for that gritty, low-scoring grind, but honestly? This one feels different enough that I’ve gotta jump on the over. ☕😍

Thomas Rivera35 said:The Boston Celtics are sitting at +150 today🤷

Rajon Rondo (wrist) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Suns.
Rondo is headed for an MRI later Thursday after falling hard on his right wrist Wednesday Night. Since that's Rondo's shooting hand we're talking about, you can definitely see why everyone is feeling a bit anxious. The Celtics are really hoping that the MRI just shows a minor Grade 1 sprain or some bruising. On another note, Avery Bradley practice news indicates he was running with the starters, while Keyon Dooling is currently a question mark due to a knee issue.

If Rondo ends up being sidelined, it’s kind of like taking the engine out of a car; the Boston Celtics are going to have a really tough time keeping that momentum going.🤷

James Taylor3 said:Thanks, Nicholas Chase34. 🙂

Memphis Grizzlies? 🤔

🙂

The Memphis Grizzlies are getting a pretty low spread here, just -3.5, when I was honestly expecting them to be at least -5.5. 🤷

I've got this nagging feeling that it might be one of those classic traps. 😵

James Taylor3 said:Hey, can you just grab those NBA lines and paste them here? 😁

Toronto Raptors vs Portland Trail Blazers
I was checking out some numbers earlier, almost like looking at those live odds you see pop up during a high-stakes game when everything is hanging in the balance, and I saw this sequence: sub 01:00, 3.00, 16.0, 1.40, 2.50, and 1.30. It’s funny how those little digits can make you think about momentum, kind of like how a team starts slow but then suddenly hits that sweet spot where everything just clicks.
Washington vs Denver betting line
sub 01:00 3,20 16,0 1,35 2,70 1,25
Philadelphia vs Atlanta
I was just looking at the lines for this one, and honestly, seeing that sub 1:00 mark sitting at 1.45 feels like a pretty safe bet if you're looking for some steady action, though that 2.80 jump is definitely tempting if you're feeling gutsy about things moving a bit faster than the oddsmakers expect. It’s kind of like watching a slow burn movie where you know the explosion is coming eventually, but you're just weighing whether to place your bets before or after the big climax hits.
New York Knicks vs Milwaukee Bucks
I'm looking at these lines and honestly, it feels like we're staring down a real nail-biter here, almost like watching a high-stakes poker game where the tension just keeps building. If you're eyeing that sub 01:30 mark at 1.50, it’s got that steady, reliable vibe, kind of like a seasoned vet coming off the bench to stabilize the game, but then you see those higher numbers like 2.60 or even 2.25 and you realize how much volatility is actually lurking under the surface. It’s funny how the odds shift; one minute you think you've got a lock, and the next, the math starts feeling more like a wild ride through the Rockies than a smooth drive down the coast. Personally, I'm just soaking in the movement of it all, weighing whether the safe play is the way to go or if there's some hidden value tucked away in those bigger payouts if things get a little crazy.
Looking ahead to the matchup between the Detroit Pistons and the Memphis Grizzlies, I’ve been sitting here thinking about how much energy this one could bring to the court. It feels like one of those games where you just have to see which squad manages to set the tempo early on, especially since both teams have such distinct ways of moving the ball. You can almost feel that tension building up, similar to when you're waiting for a big storm to break over the Midwest—it's all about who handles the pressure better once things get intense. I'm feeling pretty optimistic about seeing some high-level hustle out there, so let's see if the Memphis Grizzlies pick holds up or if Detroit finds a way to shake things up!
sub 01:30 2,30 14,0 1,65 2,00 1,50
Cleveland vs Chicago Bulls
sub 01:30 2.80 16.0 1.45 2.35 1.35
Boston vs Phoenix Suns
sub 01:30 1,50 15,0 2,60 1,40 2,25
Orlando Magic loss vs LA Lakers
If you're looking at the action for the game to stay under 2:00, the betting shop has the odds sitting right around 1.70 for that sub 2:00 mark, with some deeper value at 13.0, 2.20, 1.50, and 1.90 depending on how much risk you want to take with your play.
San Antonio vs Sacramento matchup incoming!
I can't quite make sense of those numbers you've dropped here, but it looks like we might be looking at some deep-dive betting lines or maybe some specific player prop stats from a recent matchup. It’s kind of like trying to read a complex playbook without having the coach's notes handy—you see all these moving parts and figures, but you're just waiting for that one clear signal to tell you which way the momentum is actually shifting! If this is part of a spread or some live odds for an upcoming game, let me know so I can wrap my head around it.
LA Clippers vs Minnesota Timberwolves

The Wizards have finally started showing some life on the court, though it still feels a bit thin everywhere except for John Wall, and now they’re staring down a Denver Nuggets squad that has been absolutely electric this season and is easily one of the most fun teams to watch right now. Sure, the Wizards managed to scrape a win against the Oklahoma City Thunder last time out, but I wouldn't let that fool anyone; even Kevin Durant and the crew can have an off night, but I seriously doubt the Wizards have what it takes to take down this powerhouse from Denver. Their biggest edge is really just that depth—when their second unit steps in, you don't even notice a drop-off because everyone is playing at such a similar level and can easily drop 15+ points any given night, which means they often end up with ten different guys hitting double digits, so if one guy is cold, someone else always steps up. Aside from John Wall, who still needs to grow into his role mentally, the rest of them seem a bit too selfish, especially the Demilitarized Zone and Andray Blatche, who both tend to hunt for their own shots way too much.

I am totally on board with this pick, honestly, I'm almost tempted to put some money on the Washington under 98.5 betting line @ 1.85, because I just don't see the Wizards being able to break through that number against a defense like this; I'm expecting those odds to drop even lower by tonight. 🤷☕

Since Jesse Wright68 mentioned that Dirk Nowitzki is dealing with some knee issues, picking this matchup just makes perfect sense.🤷

SuperSport
Nowitzki - Chris Bosh 2 @ 1,85

Dirk Nowitzki is staring down a pretty tough defensive challenge against Paul Millsap, who's always been a rock on that end, and since Dirk is playing on a back-to-back, you can bet he's feeling the grind—he's definitely not the kid he used to be.

Chris Bosh isn't having an easy ride either with Pau Gasol waiting for him, though looking at their last two matchups, he doesn't seem quite as easy to stop. Last season, he was averaging 24 player points over those two games while shooting a killer 61.8%, and if LeBron James ends up sitting out, Chris Bosh basically becomes the Miami Heat's go-to guy on offense. ☕

Honestly, I can barely keep track of anything else besides them.🤷So, just to clear things up for everyone, when we're looking at the player stats, we're counting both the starters and the guys coming off the bench, but when it comes to the team totals, we're only talking about the regular season numbers.

You nailed it... when it comes to the total points scored by the squad versus what an individual brings to the table, only one thing really matters. The regular season....whereas when you're looking at the total points scored per player, it’s a whole different ballgame. Man, we really had to take it to overtime to settle this one! Just a heads-up for everyone following the betting lines over at FanDuel—they're only factoring in the regular season stats for these calculations.

So, check out what happened in last night's game:
