Luka Doncic...

[B.A.R.]

Pretty impressive.

 

[B.A.R.]

35-10-9 for the year.

Just, that good.

Now, how do we compare that to the Russ years?

Do we discredit him for ball dominance?

I think you would only discredit him for ball dominance if he‘s doing the equivalent of a nine-walk no-hitter and scoring points by attempting 500 shots. But those are really good FG % numbers aren’t they??

 

[EL CAPO]

Luka is more like LeBron then Russ.....Russ doesn't make his team better

I feel like Luka does....but this roster is nothing like the cavs rosters LeBron had

To quote the current Best Supporting Actor Academy Award winner, Robert Downing Jr.........never go full Luka.

 

[KJ]

Still so proud of Sarver's genius in taking Ayton over Luka just because of the AZ connections. That was a moment that stands still in time.

 

[number2]

So Mavs tonight? Short line…

Bulls home with 1 day rest after 4 game west coast

 

[Gandolf]

Kyrie in those same periods

The more Kyrie is involved in the offense, the better the results.

Draftkings is offering a super boost tonight on a Luka triple double bet, from +140 to +225. Feels like a trap.

I've been doing well with those playing selectively, only $25 limit but had gotten 7 straight until I lost on the Brunson one yesterday, 2+ treys/6+ assists at +120 and of course that game, as trash as it was...he makes 2/10 instead of 1/10 behind the arc it would've hit. God that was painful. Microcosm of the day.

Looks like it was easy money after all.....

 

[Gandolf]

Not sure why he's out there chucking 3s with seven minutes left up by 35 though.....

Tonight's was Kawhi and Hunter to get 4+ treys and that hit in the 1st half at +150

Recency said Kawhi would try at least 4-5 and Hunter 5-7, 4 wasn't a tough ask at all

I've started playing DKs Threesday special.....on Tuesdays and Thursday you bet $10 on the first 3 of the game and then get a free bet that's 50 cents for every 3 made in the game. Not hard to find a game where you get over 20 threes, the free plays have been around $13-14 apiece. You can usually narrow down to about 4 starters to choose from for the first 3. Luka is an auto-pick.

I've done it a couple times and hit with DiVincenzo on the original bet, you know the Knicks are letting them fly, especially him

Also Gandy mine is $25 minimum on the original bet and a buck per 3 for the bonus...think I'd like yours more, putting $25 on a random first 3 means it needs to hit occasionally to get a free bets of the same value. They're really just fun bets...DiVincenzo has been roughly +250-+290 on being the first which isn't great. What's Luka been?

Luka was +265 on the game I hit vs Indiana. I got cute and tried Jalen Williams +850 vs Dallas and Kyrie hit a drive left pull-up 3 at +275 last Thursday. Dame was +275 against Sacto last Tuesday, missed out when Keon Ellis got the start for Sacto and bombed away.

Today's Threesday games/ favorite odds

Charlotte/Orlando
Suggs +425, Harris +425, Miller +425, Bridges +500

Houston/Washington
Green +350, Kispert +360, VanVleet +360, Poole +390

New Orleans/Brooklyn
McCollum +300, Finney-Smith +310, Bridges +310, Thomas +425

Dallas/San Antonio
Luka +250, Kyrie +320, Champagnie +475, Wemby +500

Denver/Minnesota
Porter +330, Conley +340, Murray +450, Edwards +500

Usually an autoplay if Luka is playing, need to investigate a little more.

Team 3 point stats

3 Pts made per game
Charlotte/Orlando 11.8 + 10.9 (both teams bottom 10)
Houston/Washington 12.2 + 12.2 (both teams mid-pack)
New Orleans/Brooklyn 12.3 + 13.6 (Brooklyn top 10)
Dallas/San Antonio 14.6 + 12.6 (Dallas #3)
Denver/Minnesota 11.5 + 12.5 (Denver bottom 10)

3 Pts allowed per game
Charlotte/Orlando 13.3 + 11.6 (Charlotte 9th, Orlando bottom 10)
Houston/Washington 12.3 + 12.5 (both teams bottom 10)
New Orleans/Brooklyn 13.4 + 13.0 (New Orleans 7th)
Dallas/San Antonio 13.3 + 12.9 (Dallas 10th)
Denver/Minnesota 11.2 + 11.3 (both teams bottom 10)

Dallas/San Antonio looks like the game to play. In their previous 3 matchups they've combined for 21 (209 total), 37 (263 total), and 26 (245 total). Game is lined at 234 total which would imply 23-24 made threes.

First 3 has been made by Doncic (after Vassell and G Williams had missed), Champagnie (1st three attempt of game), Wemby (after Kyrie and Vassell had missed).

Is it Vassell's turn to make it? He's a juicy +550 and leads the team in makes and attempts, hitting at a decent 38%. Wemby tends to give the Spurs first possessions too. If it's not Luka (and his number is pretty short) then I think Vassell is the play.

 

[Gandolf]

Luka getting steamed down to +200. Spurs guys all ticking higher. Vassell +600 now.

 

[Gandolf]

BTW Utah-Dallas on Thursday will be a great Threesday game. Both are in the top 10 in threes per game and in the bottom 10 in threes given up per game, with Utah dead effing last.
