Memphis Grizzlies -5.0 First home game of the season. Gay should be the huge difference between two teams who look really even in every other position. Front court battle should pretty much be a toss up with a slight edge going to the Grizzlies' seasoned bigs (who also have the better size and array of post moves). Jazz looked good even in their last 2 defeats but I see them falling short this time due to scheduling.
Dallas Mavericks -5.0 Blazers seem to almost always play the Mavs' close. I think they'll fall short here ending a quick 3 game road swing. Mavs' is off a blow out win against the Bobcats where OJ exploded for 30 and Chris Kaman dropped 16 while going +26 when on the court while the visiting Blazers spoiled James Harden's first home game. Both teams should just about be even with the Mavs boasting of a bench and home court. That should spell the difference here.
Honorable Mentions: Philadelphia -4.5 - You know home-and-home series are. Basing this on that. Then again, I've bet against the Knicks twice and lost both already.
Phoenix/Miami OVER 199.5 - Miami's defensive woe's will continue till say after they've defined each players' roles ones again.
San Antonio -8.0 - Best home team in the league against a team who'll have loads of matchup problems. Tim Duncan just sipped a few drops from the fountain again.
Cavs/LA Clippers OVER 195.5 - AND Clips 1Q maybe. Clippers has dropped more than 100points in their games and should continue against the Cavaliers. The only question here is if the road team can get themselves past 90 with the few offensive players they have.
BOL.

No line yet but it should go OVER 185-190. I think Brooklyn has to work a lot on their defense. At least that's what I see during the game against the Raptors. Wolves are better on both ends at home and should be able to hit 90 easy at home.

Fixed the last sentence. I kept referring to them to be playing at home.

CMM - can you post your win/loss totals? Also - do you flat bet each wager amount? Equal amounts? Thanks bud
I think I'm 9-8 or something. I'm really not into posting records now for people to avoid tailing blindly. Yes, flat/equal bets on every plays unless otherwise noted like in my MLB threads.

One more question - I noticed that you try and lock in your plays early the night before the games which is great for us - is that in an effort to reduce juice on the lines? Do you feel that the lines are best when you lock in plays this early? I just didn't know if there was any strategy involved - thx!

The early lock in is to keep myself from over thinking. Line movements doesnt really indicate anything other than the bookies trying to get some action on the other side. Con for playing games early is that you miss out on last minute changes. What is good is that you're free from the stress of constantly thinking about the games you cap. It opens you more to life than spending a lot of time studying games. I'm not saying putting a lot of time studying games are bad. It's actually good. It's just my style.

Followed your plays the last 2 years in baseball and wanted to say thank you for what you do for this forum. I never post, just a follower of a couple select few. Your reply above on why you lock in your plays early is spot on. Sports wagering like any other hobby or job to some can become consuming and grab hold of someone's life. I applaud you and hope others see that you can handicap and still "open yourself more to life" as you stated. Keep up the good work and know you are appreciated.
