October NBA Discussion Thread

Philly ml. Harden looks in great shape. Maxey a year better, Boston gots issues,

Davis over 23.5 points large. Nobody on gs can check him and he motivated and healthy for now!
 
Starting the season on a positive note

Shaq, Ernie, Kenny and Chuck all signed long term deals to stay with Turner. Only details I saw was Chuck, 10 years and could be worth around $200 million if he sticks all ten years out. Guessing the others signed on for minimum 5 years to remain a part of the best thing off the court in the NBA.

What’s the odd Davis gets injured this year? Seems like he gets injured easily……player props are hard sometimes…..depends on the player mental state and then injuries

They were very easy for me the 1sy 2 months last year. 1st time I ever played them. I hit a insane clip my 1st 150 plays or so, they adjusted as season went on and I slowed down but early on they were cake.

Far as AD who knows, I think he be healthier this year, I’m sure he still miss some games. Right now I think he in a great mental state and out to prove something. I play mostly 3 point props but I love AD to go over 23.5 vs a gs team who really don’t have a answer for him.

I’ll be starting a thread 2marro and posting all my nba prop plays, see if we can crush the books these 1st few months again where the lines seemed way off last year! Hopefully I can come anywhere close to what I did last year and wr all make money, or I’ll suck and ya’ll can win by fading me!
 
Gonna try something new this year…..
Gonna play the Knicks and Nets only….
Playing the streaks……

Example….nets cover and over 1st game
Will play nets to cover and over in game 2
Won’t double up and chase….

Will stop after 2 lost if it chops. Then hop back on when the chop ends…

That’ll be 328 plays max if no chops…..so it’ll be like 300 plays minimum if there’s chops….should be abl to meet rollover requirements….

Will try to post the plays here to keep track and keep me motivated….

Hopefully I can do this with MLB next year.
MLB will be another system.

Haven’t backtrack the systems………

Might add 1H and 2H plays…..still debating

Props the first 30-40 days NBA are so loot if you do your homework.

Bank/Bar, what are the best books for props? Bank, I know you do well with Baseball props and sounds like you do well with NBA too. I have Circa, BOL and BM. In baseball, I didn't bet your props this year Bank but looked for them - could find Strikeouts on BOL but not Outs on any of them. Not sure if I just missed where they were. Just wondering what books are best for offering them in MLB and NBA and, most importantly, not banning you if you win. I used to correspond with a guy on the other site years ago who did very well with props - but he told me they always banned him eventually. Had to keep opening new accounts under family and friends. thanks

Think Banks plays are mostly at the casino…he said it helps him be more discipline while dealing with cash……it’s like 15 minutes drive for him……pretty sure he have some online account too…….

thanks yeah I've seen him mention that many times in the Baseball forum. Seems weird to me - I wouldn't think a land based casino book would offer so many porp options vs. an offshore outfit but well may be so.
 
Love the props guys, thanks. I’m going with Simmons o13.5 rebounds and assists. He’s a pass first guy who will defer to Kyrie and Durant, and with no Drummond, Aldridge or Griffin for Brooklyn, he will see this as his role. He went over this number at least twice in the preseason. As long as he gets at least 25 minutes, I think he gets there.

do you have legal books in your state?
 
do you have legal books in your state?
I live in Las Vegas so yes. Have Circa here and BM and BOL offshore. Most books here in LV are actually pretty lame, though I certainly haven't tried them all - for example, they don't even offer Team Totals (Circa and Westgate don't and I don't think Southpoint does though it's been a few years since I had an account there). I've heard Stations does but haven't set them up yet.

As for props Circa is pretty light and I just assume the others would be too. If you know of any books here in Vegas that are great for props please let me know.
 
I use FD and Caesar’s here. Seem to be decent for props, I’ve usually been able to find some that people post here I would not have thought of/or found
 
Harden missed a wide open one already :( encouraging he should get some good looks as they double Embid
 
Wasn’t memphis really good in 1st halves last year? Seems like we bet them a lot 1st half. Knicks big move was jalen Brunson! Lmao. No disrespect to him but I doubt he comes walking in and Randle or Barrett think it his team and he a incredibly ball dominant player! I dunno if that works at all but certainly don’t think it works early playing a memphis team who basically the same, I know jackson out and probably brooks but memphis dealt w guys being hurt all last year and they continued playing well. Think I gotta roll with them 1st half.

Grizz have a lot missing tonight. JJJ, Brooks, Williams, and Danny Green. Brooks and Williams pretty big injuries. I was looking to bet against my Grizz tonight, personally. But I don't love the Knicks either

Brunson makes a big difference for a team that had Alec burke pas their pg most of last year. Derrick Rose is also back.

I didn’t even know green was on their team till 5 min ago, I know few guys out but seems to me they played like that half their games last year. I still think they have enough to run Knicks off the floor in the home opener, for a half anyways.

I also think Memphis has more depth than anyone in the league. They've made so many trades and acquired so many depth players with experience that they can mask missing a couple big pieces like Jackson and Brooks

Guess it depends what you think of him? Personally I think he should be a teams 6th man who comes off bench and Carries the scoring cause he super ball dominant and I don’t think he as good as the other guys teams let control the ball majority of the clock. I don’t think Knicks are well constructed at all personally but maybe I’m wrong. I like some props so I’ll prob not worry bout betting any games yet.

I just don’t think Knicks as constructed works very well. Ball movement gonna be at a absolute minimum isn’t it? Pretty much all their guys want ball in hands the entire shot clock and none of them a 1, not sure I’d want any as a 2? Bunch of ball dominant 3s it looks like to me.

Brunson is a much lower budget version of AI, Marbury, Penny, etc. imo. Ball dominant PGs will score no doubt but they don't win. AI was the exception but even as great as he was he couldn't win a ship.

Can see where Brunson props could fly. When he's playing he'll be jacking.

If you watched them in the pre season they moved the ball well. Brunson averaged over 5 assists and randle wasn't his usual self. Maybe he will revert back to that but in this first game I see a continuation of the pre season

I didn’t watch any preseason, saw the numbers all looked pretty solid. I never really know what to take from preseason but that sounds meaningful. I’ll take your word for it and leave it alone and just watch a bit. I got plenty of prop action! Thanks for sharing.

Certainly true as well - and have plenty of rookies that should fill the slot to see how they look. I'd expect a bit of LaRavia and Roddy tonight.

Coin flip for Memphis first half tonight against the Nets.

I’m playing Simmons ov 14.5 reb/assist again. I dunno if it right but I’m super stubborn on this, there no freaking reason he doesn’t average close to 9-9 at least on this team. I’d think this be a up and down type game so should suite him,
