The assholes over at SS didn't want to include Jeremy Lin in the props... I'd honestly be curious to see what the margin would have looked like there.

I'm taking Dallas, and I really like the Griffin-Nowitzki 2 1.70 matchup.

I’ve got my eye on another one, specifically the total points for the Minnesota vs New York game. That line at 196.5 feels a bit inflated to me, especially since both squads were out there grinding just yesterday. Looking at the numbers, New York has only hit the over once in their last eight back-to-back situations—and honestly, that was only after an overtime thriller against the Denver Nuggets where they racked up 37 points.
Right now, New York is actually leading the entire NBA league when it comes to playing under, sitting at an O/U ratio of 8-19 (70.4%), while Minnesota is hovering slightly lower at 11-15 (57.7%). Because of that, I just can't pass up this bet; in my opinion, the spread is about 5 points higher than where it ought to be. Good luck everyone!
Minnesota vs New York Knicks
under 196 points @ 1.98 Pinnacle 5/10

I'm taking Dallas, and that Griffin-Nowitzki 2 1.70 prop looks pretty good to me.

Lin is sitting at 17.5 on Bet-Live...

Look, it’s not like the Clippers are some legendary defensive juggernaut or anything, but I’d take this just because the home team is in a total mess—especially after losing guys like John Augustin and Henderson, who aren't even going to suit up tonight... they've been averaging a measly 75 points over their last five games, playing absolutely terrible ball, and honestly, I don't see how they do anything to the Clippers...
Plus, I’d probably pair that with the Clippers +9.5 spread, maybe. Just stuck deciding which one to grab... 🤔

Why the assholes at SS pulled the team total points line for the Charlotte vs Clippers game from the menu?🙂 🙂

I was actually looking at taking the Clippers spread myself, but honestly, after they messed with me on the lines earlier, I'm just staying far away from this game 🙂
fingers crossed everything hits for us 👍

Hey everyone. I know I don't post here all that often, but I'm always lurking and following your discussions.

Here’s my play for tonight. I went with the players currently riding hot streaks; they should cover, but that’s just how it goes with bookmakers. Everything that’s supposed to hit, misses—and vice versa.🤷 hehe

Marcus Smart over 18.5
Maybe even love over 24
If the stream actually works, I might catch Ricky Rubio. If this trend holds, they'll probably start offering his over/unders next week.😁

Cleveland Cavaliers vs Philadelphia 76ers
Pick: Philadelphia 76ers -7.5

Odds: 1.99

Betting shop: Pinnacle

Unit: 7/10


I wasn't planning on touching this one—until I noticed a massive gap in the lineup. The Cavaliers are missing their center tonight, and he's crucial both offensively and defensively. He’s having a career year right now, averaging 10.8 points and 11.5 rebounds per game. More importantly, he leads the league in offensive rebounding; losing him means the Cavs effectively lose about four extra possessions per game. Then there's Kyrie Irving, who is still out dealing with concussion symptoms. These two are essentially the only high-level talent on the roster alongside Al Jefferson, so the Cavs are going to feel this void. On the other side, the 76ers are deep, balanced, and possess arguably the best bench in the league. They're healthy too—aside from starting center Andrew Hawes, but Nikola Vučević can step in easily enough.

Both teams were grinding through tough matchups last night, but the Cavs had it worse, playing into overtime with heavy minutes across the board—three players even cleared the 42-minute mark. Oh, and Tony Parker is out for them tonight as well. With such a thin rotation and key pieces missing, they simply can't match up with a powerhouse like Philly. I'm taking the spread.

I wasn't planning on this one, but then I saw something—the Cavs are missing their center tonight, and he's huge for them both offensively and defensively. He’s having a career year right now, averaging about 10.8 points and 11.5 rebounds. He actually leads the league in offensive boards, which is massive because it gives his team at least four extra possessions per game. But he's out tonight with an injury. Plus, they're still without Kyrie Irving, who's clearly dealing with concussion symptoms. Those two are basically the only heavy hitters on the roster alongside Al Jefferson, so losing them makes things incredibly tough for Cleveland. On the other side, the 76ers are coming in with a really deep, balanced squad. They've got 10 guys playing similar roles and arguably the best bench in the league. They aren't dealing with any major injuries either; even though they're missing their starting center Andrew Hawes, Nikola Vučević can step in and cover that spot easily.

Both teams had a grinder of a night yesterday, but the Cavs actually went into overtime, meaning their starters were gassed—three of them logged over 42 minutes. Oh, and Tony Parker is also out for Cleveland tonight. With such a thin rotation and key players missing, they just don't have the legs to hang with a strong Philly team. I'm taking the handicap here.


I've been riding the Philly spread and Al Jefferson over ☕ for a while now. Just saw news hit the Cleveland site four hours ago that Varejao is out.

I haven't even been online since this afternoon—haven't followed any of it, so I'm out of the loop. Was the line sitting at 7.5 the whole time?

I went with -6.5 at 1.85 on Premier, parlayed it with Al Jefferson over 17.5 at 1.85 and the Lakers needing 3, but now the odds there dropped to 1.7... I was checking some overseas spreads on the handicaps and eventually just pulled the trigger on Premier. It wasn't the best deal, especially since Al Jefferson was set at a high 19.5 in Blu. 🤷I don't have any funds in my foreign betting accounts right now. 🙂

So I'm thinking they moved the line from 6.5 up to 7.5.

Blake Griffin hasn't really exploded lately, or is he just struggling? I'm not even following the game or checking the stats right now—just giving you my raw take via text.
