Tuesday: 2-2, -0.20 units
YTD: 61-51-4, +8.03 units

Really lucky last night with the CLE late cover (thanks Kyrie!) but unlucky with DEN.... its a long season/grind, just gotta keep your head down and keep plugging away.

On to Wednesday:

1. Philadelphia 76ers +1.5 (-110), 1.65 to win 1.5
2. Indiana Pacers +2.5 (-110), 1.1 to win 1
3. Oklahoma City Thunder ML (+110), 2 to win 2.2
4. Houston Rockets +5 (-110), 1.1 to win 1
5. Toronto Raptors +9.5 (-110), 1.1 to win 1

I really, really wanted to bet WAS today at +10 but something is holding me off. I almost feel like ORL's offense can't remain this bad -- they have to start hitting jumpers at some point, right? WAS isn't exactly a great defensive team, especially on the road.

Good luck to everyone today

what your reasoning for Houston ? I think the Spurs are very vindictive and they will win this game with the way.. like against Memphis ..

76ers, Pacers, Raptors 

No love for the Bucks or Jazz? 

Heat should be -2, not -6.5.
Jazz should be -3, not +3.5.

Like the Sixers pick. That should be a great game. Not sure on Houston though. I'm sure you saw the article where some of the players were calling out the coaching staff after the T-Wolves game? Not exactly a great situation to lay money on

Yeah Mike, I really think DEN was a good bet last night but hey, that's variance for you. I'd take them in that spot most of the time though.

I don't think there's a huge gap in talent level between SAS and HOU. HOU knows they can beat SAS as they did it twice in HOU and took SAS to OT last time they played at SAS.  Spurs probably win here but I think this is a last possession game. Also, you cannot underestimate the fact that the Spurs here are on the front end of a B2B, and we know that Pop is known to rest his guys in these situations (especially in this type of condensed season). This is SAS's 3rd game in 4 nights while HOU is only playing their second game in that same stretch, so they might have a little more spring in their legs.

I agree with you, I like DEN in that spot too and would do it again.  I remember checking the score with a 10 pt. lead in the 4th, watched on my phone as MEM made some b2b buckets and the ugly moose popped into my head.

Butchered that up..  "Philly, Indy, Houston! "  Should have preceded the rest of the message.
