Well a good night saw 4 players reach 4-0, a handful right behind and many players improving their overall standing. Still considering a cut to Top 40 at All Star Break but for now...
2015-2016 NBA
Contest
Rules: Max of 1 play per day, no minimum plays per week BUT
must make at least 25 plays by the end of NBA Finals to qualify as Champion. No
live betting, no ML higher than -110, no buying points, use available lines and
totals at exact time of post (no “I got this line last night”). So basically
ATS and totals, team totals 1st qtr, 1st half, full game
and 2nd half, player props all good to go. Champion will receive a “2015-2016
NBA Forum Champion” t shirt provided by me, maybe a hat too depending how much
we make tailing haha. May the best Capper win!

I have one good suggestion. Maybe the contestants could put some little tiny writeups why they take side total etc. I don't ask for long inputs of course. Just one or two sentences and thoughts like me and few others here did in the previous 4 days. I think the point of this thread is not just to post some plays and finally win a t-shirt and be the "king" of the forum. We need to transform this thread to useful read and one of the best on Covers.
Also StraightWagers i think 3-1 (75%) is better record than 1-0 (100%). Maybe we should consider the standings based on total overall units win (difference between W and L). Larger sample size of 40-20 (66%) is way better record than 8-0 (100%) lucky start.
FunkFreaker 4-0-0 ATS.
Later i will post my play if i like something.

Statistically speaking, this entire post is erroneous.

Ok I'll play this one early cause i've got feeling the line will increase to -2 or even -3 when the money start goes to the road team. We have Knicks which are 6-0 SU in their last six at MSG. Really impressive effort by team which was punching bag last season. However their last two were little shaky and doubtful. Both were OT games against worst team in NBA Sixers and come back against short-handed but good defensive team like Jazz. It's about time for NY to fail at MSG and i think we have the perfect situation tonight. Why it's perfect ? Simply because we get amazing value line for the clearly better team. The reason for this line is that LAC are on b2b after bad loss last night against Cavs on TNT. Most of the bettors see big disadvantage to b2b teams but i see good lines based on that and - 1 for the better team which need fast bounce back against team like Knicks is good bet for me. Since 2011 teams that won two consecutive games in OT are 5-10 SU (4-10-1 ATS). Also last 16 games when NYK shoot 50 or better FG % in the previous game they are 4-12 SU. As i said it's about time Knicks to fail.

If it's not too late to join I will post 1 pick too:
Bulls +3.5
No Noah , no problem in my opinion. Noah is not a great fit for the system Hoiberg is trying to implement in Chicago. Also Boston did not won against any real strong team lately so I don't think they will start against a Bulls team that might want to take their revenge after the humiliating loss against the Warriors...

Nothing is ever easy but the way the Spurs are playing ball it sure feels like it. 16-5 ATS when the double digit favorite this season. With the exception of Ray McCallum who played 29 minutes, no Spur played more then 25 minutes last night in a cake walk win against Phoenix.
Coming off a night of Tim Duncan rest, Manu playing 6 minutes and the chance of getting Parker back, this feels like the POD. Sure the Lakers were playing competitive ball in early Jan, but they have really fallen off since that stretch of good basketball. The Lakers are also shooting a league WORST 38.2% from the field over their last three games, 6th worst from three land (28.3%) and now they have to step up against the NBA's best defense that is rested and mostly healthy.
Just to add salt to the wound, the Lakers are also the worst shooting team in the NBA from the field and 2nd worst from 3pt land, vs the Spurs who are the best shooting team in the NBA from the field and 2nd best from 3pt land.
Still not sure why some of these Spurs game spreads are not floating around the 19-21 pt mark yet... Running with Pop and Duncan here BIG
