Celtics still struggling... Imagine if they didn't have the comeback at Lakers?

Pistons starting a free fall of sorts. They were pretty competitive for awhile there but you can feel it bottoming out. They'll hang around in some games still but they have no defense to make stops late....

.... All that being said... Love that Duren is starting and getting meaningful minutes. Ivey also is coming into his own. His FG% won't be great, but will improve as we move forward...

Mavs and Wolves are both 16-16. You feel like both should be better but maybe this is just where these teams are?

SGA the quietest star going right now. Obviously where he plays garners no attention. I know many of us hard core NBA guys have been fans of his for a few years but slowly now he's getting some attention...

Last night's shooting aside, I feel like ole Dame Dollar starting to come back in full... And that's a good thing for the league...

Celtics were hitting the 3 ball at insane rate….the crash was almost inevitable…still one of the elites

Pistons need to make a shrewd move with Bogdan+?

Not high on Minny at all and feel as if the Kleber injury could be a death sentence for Mavs.. good stuff on sga

Was taking SGA props (pts, 3s) earlier on, might have to wade back into the water while there still may be value there.

Bogie will be traded almost for sure.

Huge addition to some team in the top 8 imo

Christmas slate….what do we think? Lean Knicks at home. Maybe Lebron?

Great question.

The worst game of the day is Lakers and Mavs. Luka off 50... Lebron off the shoe pass.

Lakers are pretty bad. Mavs are inconsistent.

Knicks were absolutely on fire for a few weeks then cooled last few games. Heartbreaker at MSG vs the Chicago on Friday.

Jojo playing at another level right now too. This should be a fun game.

Bucks and Celtics obviously the headline game. I think we see a strong Boston showing here. In reality, they've had a few bad weeks. I pointed to this game about 10 days ago as their next one that truly mattered. Obviously we'll cap this one heavily for a probable playoff series in the spring.

Warriors are amazing at home but with the injuries they are not the same right now. Grizz should win this one if they care.

Late night game I'll be looking for a live over. Feel like that one gets fun at some point.
 
Knicks playing well enough for me to back on X-mas. Bounce back vs Sixers who have won 7 in a row yet all at home. Would think it goes under as well but I only have that in a small parlay. Just hoping Embid doesn't go crazy

C's to cover the number handily. I also lean under

I think Ja goes off @ GSW ats line makes it a v tough play to make. This & late game to me are potential overs.

Joker reb over, assists over & triple double now at +180 I think all cash. Might get crazy & play a Murray prop as he has seemingly awoken. IDK how I would play him but 2 straight dd assist games might look at assists over. No Booker & line is still 3 might be a closely played one.

Last I heard Booker is playing tonight

Joker props only get helped with Jeff Green out for at least a month
 
Tonight is always tough knowing who gives a flying f after a holiday.

Think side wise clips are a good bet.

All I got there. Will stalk some totals live obviously.
 
Stons come out flying tonight.

Took a live over at 22-21.

Kawhi out -- didn't realize that.

Will wait awhile before maybe betting Clips.

Impressive 1Q by the Nets.
 
28-8 finish to third for Detroit.

They have been getting CRUSHED in that quarter lately.

This one started bad. PG was hitting contested shot after contested shot.

Then, Detroit got mad it seemed. Great hustle and the Clips jumpers finally went cold.

Should be a fun 4th.

Should have the overs in the bag. Not sure if I want to bet the Clips right now. Watch the first 3 min.
 
That was a very impressive last 18 minutes from Detroit.

Clips couldn't buy a jumper in that time frame.

Lue pulled plug on starters pretty quick with b2b on horizon.

LoL.

126-112 with 3 mins left when I typed this.

127-125 with 30 seconds left, Clips ball. The bench guys led em back.

That's one of the wilder finishes I've seen.

Lue emptied bench and that almost gave Detroit a false sense.

Holy crap, Clippers cover in OT.

126-112 with like 3:30 left when he pulled starters.

Clips 30-5 to end 4th + OT.

Grats to all Clippers bettors. It wasn't deserved, but it won.
 
OKC worth a look tonight. Spurs off an actual win.

Boston huge chalk vs a Houston team on a b2b off a win. Let's see if the C's care?

Clips in Toronto off the comeback win. The comeback was bench guys so not too worried about fatigue.

Knicks starting a tour of Texas. They collapsed in 4th on Xmas. First meeting with the Mavs was a crazy 2h collapse as well.

Hornets head to GSW. Warriors role guys played much better at home after the awful road trip. Curious if they bring it again. Charlotte off a horrible 4th in Portland.

Not that it matters…just awkward seeing OKC as a touchdown favorite

C’s in a Sammy …the “will they care” looks legit

Wiz getting healthy…Sixers about to regress?Wiz won last meeting tho…may revisit the Beal prop

Liking how the Knicks look since inserting Grimes n McBride into the rotation
 
Pacers sat guys in the 4th after they couldn’t make the run vs Pels knowing they got B2B with Hawks at home
 
Pels have a new guy step up every night and have barely had their true starting 5(although that could be debatable)

Think I saw 8 different leading scorers that’s pretty impressive

OKC cash .

Boston did care, the big 2 both with 35+ again. Tatum's windmill near end was a beaut.

Knicks and Dallas getting fun late.

Memphis shooting awful again.
 
Had a nice night on live circuit, even middled total in OKC.

Need 223-227 in Dallas...

But that game has died. Curious enough, at 6:42 mark the number was still 227.5. I almost went back under again. They needed 33 at that point to get there.

Holy moly at this comeback by Dallas

Actually lose this on the high side with 20+ points late.

Intentional foul killed it.
 
Luke 51-17-10

Good lawd.

And they just forced OT!!

53-18-10 with the rebound and follow of his own ft miss.

Wow. Knicks gotta feel like Detroit last night.
