Managed to edge out Love Nowitzko in that matchup, finishing 25-21.
I've got Rose facing off against Griffin, and honestly, that looks like a tough hill to climb.

I went with less Gasola, hoping it would pay off -.-
edit: yeah, my bad... I put him under the limit twice and both times he absolutely wrecked me....

The Lakers are absolutely abysmal right now—honestly, watching them shoot feels like watching someone try to toss laundry into a washing machine from across the room.

Rough night at the office.
Kobe Bryant was absolutely struggling out there, going just 6-of-27 from the field.

Thanks, Derica. 👍
Hmm, Denver is playing their third game in three nights—a brutal back-to-back-to-back stretch. They’re bound to be gassed, especially since they're facing damn Milwaukee. 🙂
Any other team would probably cruise to a 20-point win, but I wouldn't trust the Bucks even if they were playing against a high school squad.
The Knicks should theoretically cover the spread against Toronto—I think it's sitting at 10.5. 🤷
If Amara returns, that might be the play, particularly since the Raptors looked pretty worn out after last night's grind against Orlando.
I have to say, I'm not feeling this lineup much. Come on, Play—give me something better. 🤣

Man, Denver is dealing with a brutal back-to-back-to-back tonight, like their third game in just three days, so you know they've gotta be feeling the fatigue, but honestly, it almost doesn't matter when you realize they're staring down the barrel of playing the Bucks. 🙂
If any other squad were stepping onto the court right now, they’d walk away with an easy twenty-point win, but honestly, I just don't trust the Bucks to pull off a victory even if they were playing against a high school JV team.
I’m thinking the Knicks should probably cover the spread against Toronto, assuming the line is sitting around 10.5 right now. 🤷
If Amara actually makes a comeback, things could get really interesting around here, especially since the Raptors just went through a total grindout against Orlando last night.
I gotta be honest, I’m not really feeling this offer at all. Play, come on man, you've gotta throw something better my way! 🤣
🤣 Hey, why don't you take a look at some of these other options I found? It might be worth checking out an alternative route just to see what else is on the table.

You've got the line sitting at 3.30 for the win, but that 1.30 side makes you wonder if the books are leaning heavily toward one side of the court.

Given how even the numbers are looking, this one is definitely going to be a nail-biter that keeps us on the edge of our seats until the final buzzer.
I’m looking at the Minnesota line, and honestly, giving them +10.5 against San Antonio feels like a massive gift, almost like finding an extra twenty bucks in your old jeans when you weren't even looking for it. Even if things get a little rocky early on, that cushion is huge, so I’m feeling pretty good about taking them at 1.30 to cover, especially since the value sits at 3.30 if you're looking for that extra kick.
I was just looking at the numbers for that Dallas to Oklahoma City stretch, and man, if you look at the timing around 2:30 AM, it really hits differently when you see those odds sitting at 1.30 for the favorite versus the 3.30 underdog. It’s kind of like when you’re watching a heavy hitter in the heavyweight division go up against a scrappy newcomer; on paper, the sure thing looks solid, but there's always that little bit of tension wondering if the underdog might pull off something wild.
Man, I am looking at this Denver vs. Milwaukee matchup coming up at 3:00 AM, and honestly, those even odds of 1.85 on both sides feel like a total coin flip to me. It’s one of those games where you just know things could swing wildly in either direction depending on how the momentum shifts early on, almost like waiting to see if a summer storm is going to pass quickly or turn into a full-blown washout. It’s going to be a wild ride watching them battle it out in the middle of the night!

Right now, we're sitting at 1.85 for both sides, which feels like that classic toss-up scenario where everything is just perfectly balanced on a knife's edge. It’s kind of like when you're deciding between two equally awesome burger spots in Chicago—you know you're going to have a good meal regardless, but picking the winner is a total coin flip.

Looking at the matchup between Utah and New Orleans, I’m seeing some interesting numbers pop up. If you're looking at the spread, we've got Utah sitting at around -12.5, which feels like a pretty significant gap to bridge, but the moneyline is hovering at 3.30 for the underdog side against 1.30 for the favorite. It’s one of those games where you have to decide if the heavy hitter is actually going to cover that big cushion or if the underdogs are going to keep it much tighter than the oddsmakers expect.

Looks like we’ve got a massive matchup brewing between Denver and Milwaukee coming up at 3:00 AM. Honestly, seeing those even money odds at 1.85 across the board is wild—it's basically a coin flip, kind of like trying to decide which coast has better burgers when you're stuck in the middle of nowhere. It’s going to be an absolute toss-up, but I am totally here for the chaos!

Just a total coin flip situation to watch!
Hey, what's up! 😉Still waiting on those point spreads for the New York vs. Toronto game to drop, honestly. It's like they're taking their sweet time getting everything ready for us.
When you look at the situation in Denver, I honestly don't think that back-to-back-to-back stretch is going to hurt them all that much, mostly because their roster is deep enough to handle the rotation shifts while everyone gets used to that grueling schedule. It’s kind of like having a massive surplus of supplies during a storm; you've got enough backup to keep things running smoothly. Plus, if you look at how the Lakers and the Rockets have been playing lately, those heavy clusters of games haven't really slowed them down or caused any major issues. 🤷

what do you guys think about a crazy parlay today, maybe hit all 10 games on the draw and run some kind of system 🙂
just checking, looks like maybe only 2 or 3 games went to overtime so far, maybe today we get a massive payday with all those draws :P

James Taylor3 said:Thanks, Derrick. 👍
Hmm, Denver's playing a back-to-back-to-back tonight—third game in three days—so they're probably wiped, but they're up against freaking Milwaukee. 🙂
Anyone else would probably cover easily, but I don't even trust the Bucks if they were playing a local high school squad.
The Knicks should probably take Toronto with the spread, I think the line is around 10.5. 🤷
If Amara gets back, that might be the move... plus the Raptors had a rough one against Orlando last night.
Gotta say, I'm not really feeling these picks. PlayMaker91, come on, give us something better. 🤣
I just took the Bucks straight up.

Just going by my gut feeling on this one today🤷
Anthony over 25.5 @ 1.85
Love under 23.5 @ 1.85
Bargnani over 20.5 @ 1.85
San Antonio under 101.5 @ 1.82
Granger over 19.5 @ 1.85🤷

Hmm, I honestly can't quite wrap my head around why everyone seems to be rooting against Denver. From where I'm sitting, they look like the most beautiful matchup on the board today🤷.
The same goes for GSW. Phoenix is looking absolutely dreadful right now, and if you look at the odds for State,🙏🙏 assuming Monte is in the lineup, we're looking at a realistic 1.30. Even without him, though, they really should pull this one off.
Indiana is the one truly giving me pause. New Jersey is performing at a level that’s almost comical, but whatever—they have to win against someone eventually. Still, I struggle to see which specific game they'll actually pick up. I think I'll just stick to my second option. Those three parlays should be more than enough for me.

Nicholas Chase34 said:Here goes, James Taylor3. 😉The point spread for the New York vs. Toronto game hasn't been released yet.
Regarding Denver—I don't think that B2B2B stretch will hit them as hard as people expect. Players have to adjust to the condensed schedule, sure, but they have the depth to handle it. Besides, the Lakers and Rockets haven't really struggled with back-to-back-to-back stretches so far. 🤷
The FBI is listening to me. 😬
To be fair, it hasn't really bitten us yet—but still, three games in three days is a lot. Normally, I’d take that 3.30 handicap on Denver without a second thought, but under these circumstances... no bet.
Chris Ortiz As specified by:
I honestly don't get why everyone is so against Denver—to me, they were easily the best matchup of the day.🤷.
I’m going with GSW—no question. Phoenix is an absolute disaster right now, and honestly, the odds on State are looking solid.🙏🙏 If Monte plays, we’re looking at a realistic 1.30—but even without him, they should pull this one out.
I’m staring at this Indiana situation. New Jersey is looking laughably bad—but whatever, they have to pull a win from somewhere. The problem is, I can't see a single game where they actually come out on top. I think I’ll just stick to two. Those three parlay legs are more than enough.
It’s not that I’m against Denver—they could hold their own against the Bucks without breaking a sweat—it’s just that this is their third game in three nights. That's the concern.
If they were playing against a powerhouse, I might actually consider a two-pointer—but this whole setup feels suspicious to me. I’ll pass.
I don't know much about GSW, and I'm leaning toward them taking it—but honestly, both teams have been playing incredibly inconsistent basketball to start this season.
Man, it’s a shame they don't have Kobe around to close out games. 😬

Chris Ortiz said:hmm, I don't get why everyone is so against Denver. Honestly, they look like a great matchup today🤷.
And GSW definitely. Phoenix is just straight-up terrible, and the odds on State are🙏🙏 if Monte plays, maybe 1.30, but they should win even without him.
Indiana is what's bothering me. New Jersey is comedically bad, but whatever, they have to win someone eventually. Still, I don't see which team they actually take down. I think I'll just stick to two bets. Those three picks feel like enough.
Totally agree. Here’s my take:
Taking NJ+6 doesn't seem like a bad idea.
Denver had a disaster of a three-point percentage lately, but they managed to pull wins through free throws. I think they take it today.
Besides what you mentioned, I'm also liking Utah Jazz. But man, their shooting is atrocious. They didn't hit a single three last game. Their two-point percentage was sitting around 40%.
Still expecting a solid performance from Minnesota, so I'm looking at MINN+5.
A blowout in Miami (MIA-10). Also Orlando-3 and New York-8.5.
Expecting an upset in Dallas; thinking Dallas takes the win.
Gotta set aside two more bets from all this just to play some singles.

Here’s what’s on my radar for tonight:
Golden State Warriors @2.40
The Suns look weak, and let's be real, the Warriors aren't exactly gods right now, but looking at these odds, I'm taking the visitors. Is Monta Ellis playing? 😕
New York Knicks vs Toronto Raptors Over 195.5 @1.85
Pure run & gun style here. ☕
Oklahoma City Thunder @1.80
Dallas played Minnesota last night, so they're likely feeling it. OKC is better, younger, and faster... expect some fatigue from Dallas and take the Thunder.
LeBron James (-27.5+) - Miami - Atlanta Hawks @1.85
LeBron James was a bit laid back in the first half yesterday; he didn't even need to try hard against a weak Charlotte squad. Atlanta should give him a slightly better fight, which means LeBron James will probably have to drop a few more buckets through the net.
Kevin Durant (-29.5+) - Dallas - Oklahoma City Thunder @1.85
Who on the Dallas roster can actually stop him?? He only logged 27 minutes last game and had a day off yesterday... he could absolutely tear them apart today. 😁
Andrea Bargnani (-21.5+) - New York City - Toronto Raptors @1.85
He dropped 28 points on Orlando yesterday... hitting over 21.5 shouldn't be an issue against a Knicks team that hates playing defense as it is.
Opinion? Any picks? 🙂

Bryan Adams6 said:Here’s what caught my eye for tonight:
Golden State at 2.40 odds.
Phoenix is looking pretty weak right now, and honestly, the Warriors aren't exactly anything to write home about either. But looking at these two, I’d rather take a shot on the visitors at these odds. Is Monta Ellis playing? 😕
New York vs Toronto, over 195.5 at 1.85.
Run & gun. ☕
Oklahoma City Thunder at 1.80
Dallas played Minnesota last night. Honestly, Oklahoma just looked like the better side—younger, faster, more cohesive. Dallas seemed a little gassed out by the end, and that's why the guard play fell apart.
LeBron James (-27.5) for Miami vs. Atlanta. Odds are sitting at 1.85.
Juicer seemed a little hesitant in the first half. Honestly, he didn't really need to overextend himself against a Charlotte team that weak. Atlanta should have at least put up a fight, though. Now LeBron James is going to have to step up and actually get some points on the board.
Kevin Durant (-29.5 points) vs. Dallas Mavericks / Oklahoma City Thunder at 1.85 odds.
Who on the Dallas Mavericks is actually going to stop him? He only logged 27 minutes last game and had yesterday off... he might just go out there and absolutely tear them apart today. 😁
Andrea Bargnani (-21.5) | New York Knicks vs. Toronto Raptors @ 1.85
Juicer dropped 28 on the Orlando Magic... honestly, I don't see why covering the 21.5 line against the New York Knicks should be much of an issue, especially since that defense clearly hates playing this kind of game.
Opinions? Suggestions? 🙂
The odds on the favorite have Durant at 28.5. Just saying, wouldn't want anything crazy happening...
Honestly, out of everyone on the roster, Andrea Bargnani is my guy. His scoring average is sitting pretty well above the margin right now—clocking in at over 23 points per game.
He's seeing more minutes this season and his shooting percentages are actually looking up. It’s a good sign that he's consistently getting at least five trips to the free throw line per game and knocking out a couple of three-point attempts, too.
I’ve got to say, those margins sitting around 30 just don't sit right with me. Doesn't matter which player we're talking about, honestly. It's just not my thing.
