agreed, only thing i dont like about them.. im just hoping if they do start sluggish they can make it up and pull it out against a bulls team that really outmanned far as the talent that be on the court.. seemed pretty damn ignorant to me they brought them home for 1 game after the west trip then put them in chicago before getting any kind of home stand..i decided to ignore the situational spot here, hope it doesnt bite me in the ass :)

That used to be the BAR special, one home game during a long road trip might as well be another road game

certainly makes sense, i was a tad hesitant to play them in that game vs nets but glad i did. the one thing they have going is they young and hungry, im sure i dont know if it matters but it stands to reason to me that a team like them would be far more likely not to be bothered by it compared to a old vet team with families, responsibility and shit..these kids banging hoes and playing playstation, prob dont matter where they are!!

props i played tonight, some juicy but had more than enough to put into RRs..

FVV ov 3.5
OG ov 2.5
tatum ov 2.5
russell ov 2.5
bridges (char) ov 1.5
heyword ov 1.5
mills ov 2.5
tucker ov 1.5

tucker the only plus money, last game the 1st time he hasnt hit 2 for a minute and it was mostly cause he got into foul trouble very early and stayed in it all game, ended up only attempting 1 or 2,, hopefully that wont happen again tonight and he continues shooting 4-5 a game and hitting at a high clip.

Charlotte...getting to be on the same list for me as Philly, Wash, Knicks as far as the trey props. Not sure I've ever hit Heyward because Bridges goes off and Gordon doesn't shoot. Then if I take Bridges he just takes everything to the hole. They're an enigma.

Would think Tatum is due, he hasn't been hitting anything behind the arc. No Brown? Like Matty Pills quite a bit

im pretty much stuck with tatum at this point after i decided to play him last game, loved everything but the tip time, he rarely goes long stretches without making at least 3 of them!! i crushed it with heyword in the early months but i know what you mean, i jumped ship on him fast cause he stopped shooting them, he been back to taking 5 or so most games tho, i trust him to make 2 if he puts up 5 so im back on board for now. lot the time he stopped shooting i think they had guys going thru the protocol and he took on a lot more distribution duties as he basically does whatever the team needs, think right now he settled back into a roll where he shoot 5 or so a game, bridges has made 2+ in 8 of the last 11, i been taking him pretty frequently so no reason to stop yet..

No Melo again I believe too
 
last 5 games heyword avg like 6 or so per game so gonna hope it holds now that most everyone back besides ubre.. im with you on the Wiz, ive played beal a few times but for most part you cant count on anyone to shoot volume 3s on that team.. honestly i dont really like playing guys against them either, i feel like they pretty tenacious defenders out on the perimeter so rare for me to take a guy against them, i just couldnt pass mills up at 2.5-115 regardless matchup..

my understanding was he was playing tonight? i didnt see him on morning injury report and dk has props up for him, that usually a pretty good tell as they seem hesitant to put guys up who might not play, it happens with late scratches and stuff but not a lot..

Yeah I just saw one that said he was out but others are saying he's a go
 
i woulda played edwards again but those assholes went up to 3.5 and took my ability to chase away, i wasnt gonna play him needing 4 as cold he been this past week! good matchup for him tho... but equally good for russell and he still 2.5...
 
All a sudden I am slumping hard in nba, starting to remember why I never messed with it! Lol.

I think Knicks the right play tonight.

Is ayton playing for suns? If not def lean to mavs as dogs the way they playing. Should be a heck of a game!!

Welcome to the NBA where we play 14 one day, then 2, them 12, then 3.
 
Maybe I should learn not to be afraid of laying some points, really didht need to only use spurs ml as parlay partner as they covered the 7 easy,

Damn. Is there anything more impressive than how good a 3 point shooter he has turned himself into? That why I get so pissed off at lot of these Uber-talented kids who seemingly have no interest working on their games (Ben Simmons!)!! his shot was FUGLY when he entered the league and now he hitting them at better than 40% clip! Yet some guys can’t even be bothered fixing their damn free throws!!

How good would the lakers be if bron had any patients with young kids? Ball, kuz, Ingram, Caldwell-pope. You put those guys around bron and they way better than currently!! Only thing is Ball might of had to get out of LA to blossom, not sure bout that, Sure lakers got a ring but i strongly believe it was only because the 5 months off and bubble, only way AD made it into the playoffs healthy!!
 
What happened with Bane not playing for grizz last night? I never saw him on any injury report, there no way I would have played them with brooks out for next month and Bane also not playing, that too much offense with both them out vs the bucks. Had no clue till I saw he wasn’t in game tho.
 
So Ayton is out, think that a pretty big deal in this one. Mavs should have a edge on the glass, I also like mavs don’t turn the ball over which important vs suns who force a lot of them. Isn’t this total kinda high? Both these teams play some pretty good defense. 216 seems like a lot, I woulda thought more like 210-212. Maybe under the way to get instead of getting in way either these teams? Although the points very tempting.
 
How much does suns d drop off (if any) when ayton out? I think that a kinda important question, I’ll see if I can find answer unless someone knows already!!

No idea and this happens every night.
 
Suns/Mavs classic public under yet line has moved up to 217 at BOL after opening at 214, have a feeling the Suns will get over their team total and very possible Dallas does as well. Mavs grinded against the Raps last night to hold them under 100 which isn't easy to do, have a feeling the Suns will score at a good clip tonight.
 
I don’t care if I jinx this big lead.

I want to believe in my heart Zion makes this team better….but if you can get a haul.
I like this coach a lot and this team
 
Wow. Suns took Dallas apart in that 4th qrtr it looks like. Not gonna lie I was planning on betting mavs and under but I didn’t realize it was a 6:30 tip and had some things to do this afternoon so couldn’t make it in time to bet, knowing me it wouldn’t have been a 1-1 lose little juice thing, would have been 0-1 on 2 team parlay. lol. I didn’t watch but everytime i checked box score I was kicking myself for not betting it. I woulda been pissed!! lol
 
What’s everyone think about this spot for the Lakers? With all the noise around the team - what will getting out of town do for them good or bad? -5 at Orlando

Suns destroyed the last 5 minutes per usual
 
Crazy as it sounds, I don't watch a TON of Suns basketball, season is long and other things going on. Naturally will be watching every game with a hundred of my best friends somewhere for playoff games.

But I did watch tonight. They were 2-19 shooting 3s in the 1h but still in the game....that's defense. Down the stretch it was Book and CP3 but out of the timeout Monty drew up a play for Biyambo that was brilliant. Actually watched most of the game tonight. Down 10, no big deal, Luka 5 points in the last 5 seconds of the 1h, no big deal. Just calm and collected. Pretty impressive.

Last 5 minutes was manimal
 
The Suns last 5-6 mins is very impressive on a consistent basis.

I said it last year... Reminds me a bit of the mid 2000s Stons teams at times...(different era obv)
 
i been spending most my day trying to lock down all the nfl props im gonna play this weekend, thought i was gonna be on Hawks tonight but i cant freaking believe they favs!! are heat sitting guys or is that just a really strong line for hawks who were just dogs to and lost b2b games vs the heat not much more than a week ago? i think they win if everyone playing but dont think there any value with them being small favs.

guys gotta be sitting for nets right? i thought for sure spurs be +4 or something at least and they freaking favs? something not right there but i didnt check injury reports.

Nets w/o KD are the Harden/Westbrook Rockets
 
think all im gonna put in is a 2 team parlay with mills ov 2.5 and tatum ov 2.5 treys,. tatum been fucking me all week, surely he cant keep shooting this bad vs the freaking blazers, mills a sniper and spurs dont defend for shit.
 
2daBank said:
well i know KD out, that nothing new,, harden/kyrie i dont think should be dogs to spurs tho.
Click to expand...
Again, Harden/kyrie is no different than Harden/Brick in Houston except Kyrie might hit a trey on occasion. Same team. Matty Pills/Chandler Parsons are comparable too.

Don't think the Nets are close to elite w/o KD

Which game has the best chance to sail over between Bulls vs Mil or Memphis vs Den?
Click to expand...

i dunno what to think of bulls without lavine or ball,, memphis for most part has been playing way stronger d of late and i dont love figuring out games in denver so i cant really help ya.. guess if you made me say one id think bucks prob score a bunch.
 
KJ said:
meh, same team for me

guess it's a different conversation compared to this one game that I have zero opinion on
Click to expand...

me neither since line not what i expected at all,,, not like im trying to talk them up cause i was wanting to play spurs honestly, i just thought for sure i would be getting 3/4 points at least!!
 
patty mills over 2.5 treys seems like one the surest things in that game to me.,. former team too, wasnt even thinking bout that, i was just thinking he likes knocking them down and spurs dont play much d.. that a game that should be super high scoring, but of course it lined 235., lol
