Man, you’re just talking nonsense now—completely forgetting about the Bulls and the Hawks.

James Richardson3 said:It doesn't matter—just joking around since I realized I missed the thread. But regardless, here's my take: I'm not totally sold on Jeremy Lin right now because if C.A. returns, we all know how much he demands the ball—that could limit his opportunities... anyway, what are the odds of this hitting? Not that I care deeply since I'm focused on soccer, but I'm curious.

Yeah, Lin might see fewer touches—Carmelo is back, you've got J.R. Smith in the mix, maybe even Baron Davis. Who knows? The guy is on a roll, though; they might decide to feed him tonight.🤷

I personally took him at under 21—it actually dropped to 19 just five minutes later. Yesterday, he put in 41 minutes. He’s being guarded by Deron Williams, who definitely has the height advantage here, plus Carmelo Anthony is back in the mix. Honestly, someone has to step up and shut him down eventually.🤣

Is anyone watching the Chicago Bulls game? How's Carlos Boozer looking? Any chance we see an over today?

🙂I'm away from my PC right now, so I can't catch the game myself.

Here’s my ticket for today..

Dirk Nowitzki (-23.5+) Dallas-Boston 1.85 over

Tony Parker (-18.5+) Utah-San Antonio 1.70 over

Total Odds: 5.8183

I don't think I even need to break this down for you guys since everything has already been said, right? I'm putting my money on Nowitzki because he's absolutely locked in right now, and honestly, isn't he the only one who can actually carry Dallas to a win today?

It’s been a tough one, but seeing Rose back in action changes the energy; the Bulls were sitting pretty at 47-30 when things really started to settle down with just 3 minutes left in the HT,
Boozer finished with 4 points, shooting 1 of 2 from the field and going 2 of 2 from the charity stripe.

My goodness, Joe Johnson's scoring explosion during the third quarter was absolutely unreal. 🤣

Looks like Carlos Boozer is hitting that 12.5 line after all,

No way, there's no chance Joe Johnson or that other guy are going over, definitely not

The Hawks covered the -10 spread.
Carlos Boozer is trending up, and Joe Johnson will likely join him in the over...🙂

Saving Tracy McGrady; because of him, Joe Johnson won't be stepping in 😍

It’s going to happen... 😉
But I don't think the over hits.

edit - actually, it won't hit.

Nicholas Chase34 said:I’m leaning toward Amar'e Stoudemire under 19.5 at 1.85, if I had to make a call right now. It feels like a reasonable play, though I suppose there's always that lingering uncertainty with players of his caliber.

I am following you, I think you understand me.😉

I suppose I might add my own two cents to the conversation...

I suppose I’m leaning toward the idea that Jeremy Lin might come in under 19.5 points, maybe with those odds sitting around 1.85. It feels like one of those situations where you have to be quite careful with how you read the momentum, but my gut tells me the under might be the more measured play here.
He really is a remarkable player; I must say, I am personally quite impressed by just how much guts the guy shows on the court.🙏 I suppose there’s a certain sense that once the momentum shifts, things might just fall apart, but I can't help but feel like Carmelo Anthony is due for a massive comeback. It feels almost inevitable that he’ll be forcing things today, though I find myself feeling a bit conflicted about him being included in the betting options at all. If he were playing a bit less, perhaps the dynamic would shift, especially since we have Amar'e Stoudemire and that fourth guy—that newcomer—waiting in the wings. To be honest, everything about this lineup makes me lean toward the under. Looking back at the last seven or eight games, it seems like almost every single one went over, with only one exception. Please, feel free to correct me if my reasoning is off.

I suppose one might consider looking at Dirk Nowitzki at over 23.5, perhaps with odds around 1.85.
It seems to me, perhaps I'm just imagining things, but he appears to be finding his rhythm again; it feels like he might finally be returning to his old form, especially after those recent rough nights.🤷I suppose he could easily drop thirty-plus points tonight, if I had to guess... maybe even more.

I suppose we’re looking at odds around 6.33, if I'm reading that correctly. It feels like quite a long shot, doesn't it? I guess one could argue there might be some value there, though I'm inclined to be cautious. Maybe, just maybe, it's worth a look, but I'd certainly hesitate before jumping in blindly.

Sean Sullivan87 said:I'm following you; I hear what you're saying.😉

I would simply add my own thoughts to the mix...

Jeremy Lin over 19.5, under 1.85.
What an incredible player. Personally, I am just floored by him. The sheer guts that guy shows on the court is something else entirely.🙏 It feels like just when you think Carmelo Anthony is finished, he finds a way to claw his way back into the conversation. I have this nagging feeling that he’s going to push himself hard today, trying to prove everyone wrong. Honestly, it's a bit disappointing that he isn't even an option in the betting lines right now. If he were on the floor, the dynamic would shift. Plus, you can't forget about the presence of Amar'e Stoudemire and the rest of that lineup. 4. guyWell, look... lately, everything seems to be reading low for me. I mean, looking back at the last seven or eight games, almost every single one of them hit the over, except for that one outlier. Correct me if I'm wrong on that.

Dirk Nowitzki over 23.5 at 1.85.
It feels to me like he’s finally finding his rhythm again. He’s returning to form. Some nights, he just looks unstoppable.🤷He’s putting up 30 plus. It’s entirely possible he does the same thing again tonight...

The odds are sitting at 6.33.

You got that wrong, J.R. Smith. 🙂

Hey, anyone got some picks for tomorrow? Looking for maybe 4-5 players—some unders, some overs—and maybe 2 or 3 bets on total points for the games. Doesn't matter if it's right now or by midnight tomorrow... I just want to throw everything into one big pot and run it through a system.😁

Is it actually possible that Carlos Boozer is going to get stuck at 16 AGAIN? 🙂

Looks like a knee injury.

The single bet cleared. 👋

I suppose finding some joy in someone else's misfortune 🤷🤣 is just how things go sometimes; honestly, I feel a bit of relief myself, since I actually have him on my roster 😉

Did anyone else catch the Chicago Bulls game to tell me how that actually wrapped up? I took the handicap at -9.5, but I'm seeing total chaos online where one sportsbook says they won 90-79 while others are claiming 90-82...

They still ended up winning by 11.http://www.nba.com/games/20120220/AT...#nbaGIboxscore

Sean Sullivan87, it’s obvious that I’m celebrating the streak continuing rather than any injury. You were quite rude to edit my post like that.🙂

Arthur Hill2 said:They still ended up winning by 11, didn't they?Check out the box score from that February 20th matchup on NBA.com—you really have to wonder if anyone actually watched the game or if they just checked the stats after the fact to see how badly things went sideways?

Sean Sullivan87, look, I’m clearly more excited about seeing someone get taken out than I am about anyone getting actually hurt, so why on earth did you have to go and edit my post like that?🙂

So they finally fixed the odds, but honestly, what does it even matter at this point? Thanks anyway, I guess... now looking at the secondary market, we're left with three parlay options: two on the San Antonio Spurs, two on the Clippers, and one on the Los Angeles Lakers. What do you guys think about that?
