3 out of 7 with BLOWN LEADS. NOP/WAW ATL/TOR NYK/UTA Lots of wild action for the night. Once again, I tried to outsmart ATL, and they still nailed me.
It was an uneven night with the erratic play of TOR and NYK. Those teams had been very stable recently. Should have known ATL would quit after getting the early LEAD. And, NYK had no business being favored that much on the ROAD in UTA.
DOGS are still getting killed. And, FAVORITES lost the late games. So, it was a down day for the picks.
RELIABLE FAVORITES TOR -1.5 WON / HOU -7.5 WON / PHO -2 LOST / NYK -5 LOST (And, just like that, the line cooled off.)
ROAD FAVORITES PHI -12 WON / NOP -8 WON / LAL -3 PUSH / NYK -5 LOST (This line is still going strong. Why does LAL have so many weird games?)
RELIABLE HOME DET +12 (Lost 20 in a row. How is this possible for highly paid professionals?)
RELIABLE AWAY DOG MEM +7.5 LOST (Finally, this line produces a predictable game.)
RELIABLE picks... DET +12 LOST / TOR -1.5 WON / HOU -7.5 WON / PHO -2 LOST / NYK -5 LOST (I stopped blindly betting these picks after that 5-17 run.)
There are a decent number of games for Thursday, but only 2 have consistent teams.
MOST UN-RELIABLE TEAM GSW (MIN)
The wackiest, wildest team in the league is in action GSW. They went from one of the most consistent last year, to the wildest, this year. And, now you have drama with Draymond Green. Ever since December of 2022, MIN has just been plain nuts. These teams have BLOWN LEADS almost every other game!
MOST RELIABLE TEAM DAL (BOS)
How in the world did DAL become the most consistent team in the NBA, the past 2 weeks? It is truly amazing to watch, because I keep expecting them to go crazy. BOS has been quietly putting together a nice stretch of consistent games.
RELIABLE FAVORITES BOS -9 / DAL -1 (The run is done.)
ROAD FAVORITES NONE
RELIABLE HOME DOG NONE
RELIABLE AWAY DOG NONE
RELIABLE picks... BOS -9 / DAL -1 (Seems decent enough, but I will wait for the early LEAD and do some LIVE betting.)
RELIABLE Season: 65-72 ATS
