NBA Betting: Vol. 2

12 😁

I wonder if there might be any realistic chance of Howard hitting 21 points tonight? He’s already sitting on three personal fouls, which makes me think... I guess we have to consider how much longer he'll actually stay on the floor before he's forced to sit out.

He’s shooting 4-for-5 right now—if he stays in the rotation, he could easily clear that mark.

Classic.

The Magic aren't walking away from this without losing by at least 12 or 15 points...

Hahaha, I'm right there with you—one more foul and Orlando's ship is basically sinking with Howard on board...

With refs calling him like that—the guy won't see much more court time...

Honestly, if the Bobcats can just hold their own and Amare manages to pull through, then fine—who cares about anything else? I’ve had enough of watching a high draft pick turn into a total bust just because some player spends the entire fourth quarter staring blank at the ceiling.

EDIT: My bad, I was definitely wrong on that one. Knicks +20.

Howard could hit the over... depends, though, if he picks up 4 fouls early.
I’m pretty sure Stoudemire goes over, provided he gets at least another 15 minutes on the floor.
But if we're talking about hitting 20+, the real question is how much garbage time he actually sees.
He might just stall out right at the line. 😢🙄

And anyone who bet the over on James (like I did) can go ahead and cross that bet out.
James is clearly out of commission... Miami's win is hanging in the balance too, since they're playing terrible. It's an ugly game to watch.

edit - change of plans, Stoudemire goes under... these guys have pushed the line past 20+.

Howard just missed two clean layups right under the rim, one after another. Honestly, it’s just painful to watch...

He's starting to take much riskier shots now... he's sitting at 13 points currently.

It’s going to be a real uphill battle to pull off an upset here—I mean, if those two shots had actually dropped, we might be looking at a different story entirely, but given how things are playing out, it looks incredibly unlikely.

How on earth did the Indiana Hoosiers manage to play such a lackluster second half?

I don't know what it is about this Miami vibe, man... I just can't seem to walk away from these 🙂🙂🙂🙂

It’s honestly such a soft performance. First, those fouls completely derail Stoudemire, and then this absolute meltdown happens. Just unbelievable.

Neither Stoudemire, Henderson, nor Boston are going to pull this off. It’s looking like a total meltdown from last night. 🤦

Check this out... Nash is already sitting at 6 points. He's shooting 3 for 3, playing like he’s some elite sharpshooter here. 🤦

That second quarter is about to go completely off the rails... 🤣😢😢

In the first, he’s already notched 6 baskets and 6 assists... he was nearly pulling off a double-double within just the first 6 minutes. 🙏 🙂

I think I hit the mark on this one 🙂

Indiana 🙂

Anthony scored just one point. A career low, right when I’m actually watching the game. over🙂

Kudos to the folks in Portland. 😁

Man, just give the kid Henderson—he’s straight up dropping 15 easy 🙂
6-14 shooting, 3-4 from deep... I mean, how do you miss that one extra shot? Seriously, damn it 🙂

The way that guy absolutely wrecked him during that second quarter dunk—honestly, it’s no wonder he split those free throws, which would’ve been just enough to hit the over 🙂

Bosh basically carried Miami here 🙏 LeBron was nowhere to be found again in the fourth 🙄

I think Bosh could easily go over again today (looking at 21.5 points in the spread), he’s looking sharp—playing way more physical than he used to, which is why he’s getting so many trips to the line, plus he’s actually started hitting the three lately... and they’re facing Detroit, who are absolute trash at defending the paint. They're easily among the bottom five teams when it comes to points allowed in the key, especially against big men or those hybrid forwards—and specifically that PF spot Bosh plays, which is where they get shredded most, averaging about 25 points conceded there, making them some of the worst in the league... Miami isn't exactly playing out of their minds either, so I don't see them totally blowing Detroit out, which means Bosh should see plenty of minutes

Henderson finished with 15, Aldridge had 23, and the Portland vs. Memphis game ended at 181—plus Stoudemire staying under... honestly, I can't believe it. This is the first time in my life I've managed to miss every single leg on a parlay. xD
