Can't break this slump. Luckily there is two plays on tonight's card I love:

CHA +5.5  1u: Wrong team favored in this one. Pacers are on a 5-game win streak which has the public all over them, but those wins are deceiving, and the streak is not as impressive as it sounds. The wins came against the Cavs, a Clippers team that was depleted after the trade deadline, the Lakers, the Pels who were missing 5 of their 6 top scorers, and the Heat. The Hornets have continually talked about making the playoffs, so I am pretty confident we'll get a good effort out of them tonight. The 5.5 points is just a bonus.

MIN -3.5: Desperate for a win, at home, and getting key players back against a team that I think has been overvalued lately, and only laying 3.5 points? I'll take it.

BOL,

YTD: 25-26-1  +0.01u

Happy Friday everyone. My record is a perfect example of why money management is key. I should be down 4 or 5 units with that record. But being extremely selective with my 2u bets has kept me in the green, even if just barely.

Had some things happen yesterday and didn't have the energy to post on here. I hit LAL +8 but obviously won't count that towards my record. Loving tonight's card and already have one locked in:

SAC -2.5  1u

ADD:

MIA/POR over 211  1u

      This one seems a bit low considering the first matchup between the two went for 231 points. I think the low line is due to recency bias. The Blazers have been able to hold opponents to low scores lately, but when you look at the numbers its hard to give them credit for that. They have played:

       Utah (21st in PPG)

       Atlanta (19th in PPG)

       Phoenix (23rd in PPG)

Miami has a lot of depth at the guard and wing positions and that is where Portland struggles to defend. On the other hand, I think the total is being brought down due to the Heat's recent struggles to score, but it is easy to understand why they would have a hard time putting up points against the Pacers and Thunder - two of the best defenses in the league. This one goes over.

BOL,

WhiteWidow

May the best man win 

I feel you. I respect that a lot more than someone who just blindly tails others. 

I haven't locked in POR over yet. Only thing that worries me is I think the line is fishy. In the first game the line was set at 221, they went for 231, and now in the second game the line is 211.5?? Seems like the books want action on the over.

BOL either way

Thanks cash, glad it's appreciated. Although this is my worst NBA season in years, I cannot complain as long as I am in the green (only started posting a few weeks ago but my record for the whole NBA season is +8u). Stick with me, we're due to go on a heater.
