NBA Betting: Vol. 2

Frank Vogel is shaking up the starting five to give some guys a breather. Tonight against Detroit, we're looking at Ja Morant, Paul George, Dahntay Jones, David West, and Jeff Pendergraph in the lineup

Dana Baker2 said:I’d probably start with Washington +9.5/over 100.5 and the Brooklyn Nets +8.5. I'll likely just play 3 or 4 smaller bets to keep the stakes low.

Did you manage to dig up any intel?

I went with the Washington over, along with the Brooklyn Nets, but I won't double down on those.
I didn't get a chance to use Portland today, so I might look at them.
Dahntay Jones is questionable.
Calderon is also questionable for a blowout game.
Booker is questionable too.

Dana Baker2 said:The Memphis guys have gone 6-0 on the over lately. I guess that might look promising to some, but personally, I find that a bit hard to swallow.😛

Maybe it’s in favor of the under? It definitely doesn't look like we're headed for a 6-0 run on the over.

Yeah! Seems weird to me too, but here we are.

So, this is what I'm riding with:
Brooklyn Nets +8.5
Washington over 100.5
plus
Cleveland +13.5 (everyone's talking about it, so why not? 😁)
Portland under 96.5

What do you think is the better play for Washington—the over or the spread?

Dana Baker2 said:Which looks better to you for the Warriors—the over or the spread?

The over, I suppose, since that's what I ended up taking myself.
Though, to be fair, I did play the spread indirectly by also having the Charlotte Bobcats under. 😁
But it’s been bugging me lately; I remember hitting an under on the Memphis-GSW 98 game. Now I look at how Dallas put up 182 right after that, and then Portland went over 180 last night. It seems almost impossible.

Whatever—I played him myself.
To be honest, I’ve played the handicap too—though more indirectly. I also have the CHA under. 😁
It’s actually eating at me a little—I remember hitting the Memphis-GSW 98 under, but then I see Dallas putting up 182 right after that, and now Portland dropping over 180 last night? No way. It's impossible.

I finally pulled the trigger on those 4—now I've got zero clue what to cut.😁
Look, I’m talking about the 6 head-to-head matchups over—not this season's version of Memphis!

Dana Baker2 said:I ended up taking those 4 at the end, though I'm not quite sure what else to cut.😁
I was betting on the over for the last 6 head-to-head matchups, not this current version of Memphis!

Haha, you were the one asking what to take out. If you'd asked about Portland, man, you wouldn't be in this spot.
🤦 You didn't really explain the over part clearly either. 😁

graniteotter6 said:Haha, you asked what to take out. If you wanted to talk about Portland, man, you should've just asked like that.
🤦 regarding the overs. You didn't explain that part right either 😁

Look, I didn't ask what to take out! I said I was gonna play all 4, and I did.😉 I thought maybe eventually I'd go with 3 for the heavier games, but there's no point.
And as for the overs—I didn't put them in the head-to-heads, you're right there.

Just wait until we see those tough unders in Indiana and Milwaukee...🤣

I’ve already 😂 since you said "it's a blowout" 👍
And then they end up in Washington with a score of 100-101. 🤣

graniteotter6 said:I've been 😂 since you said "all in"👍
And they'll end up going 100-101 in Washington. 🤣

When?

Dana Baker2 said:Do you think the Charlotte Bobcats need to pull off a massive upset at some point?🤣

I suppose there isn't much to say here. 😁
Read this quickly before they delete us. 😁

graniteotter6 said:Man, 😁
Read faster—they're gonna delete this. 😁

Look, I know I wrote that, but I don't get what you meant by putting 101-100?😕 What were you even thinking there?

The Charlotte Bobcats are insane! They're leading!

He's hiding!🤣
Check the earlier posts! He isn't playing tonight. Cancel it!😁
