On to today

Congrats on that PHO pick last night. Definitely was amazed by that performance. You should have considered the M/L... but your analysis was spot on!

Ok here we go again... I am backing the Utah Jazz tonight and getting +4.5 points against the LA Lakers.. Utah has won 8 out of their last 10 games and 4 out of the last 5 against the Lakers. Dwight Howard is doing what he does best.. quit, complain, and fracture a team from the coach on down to the water boy. Lakers should only be favored by 1 point..I see the bookmakers continue to post lines that are Laker heavy and the Laker team is not anywhere near fixing its problems. I am going to state right here and now this team is not going to make the playoffs. Easy money here tonight if your on the Jazz!

FINAL:
UTAH JAZZ  +4.5  -110   220 to win 200

Well Mavin, one of us had to win that Clippers game! I ended up 2-2 NBA, and 1-0 on NHL bet (SJ).
I'm having a tough time with picks today, but I'll get them posted around 5pm (CT). I'm interested to see how we match up again today, We're usually pretty close!

Thanks everyone for the props and grats, again
I personally had 4 winning days in a row and it starts to reflect on everything. Today there is a great card as on many games I had previously prepared notes.

I'll start with one in Cleveland.  Irving has been on some shooting spree and the Bucks are not really a defensively minded team - especially after the coach change.

Final:
CLEVELAND Cavaliers - MILWAUKEE Bucks Over 200.5  (-110)  220$

I agree with most except the Bulls- I think the bulls have been fortunate to play teams that have been out of sync like the Lakers, Celtics- I am not sure they can keep up with the Warriors but who knows they may keep the hot shooting and cleaning up the boards as they have in recent days.

I like the Warriors but not sure am betting on them just yet- As you know I picked my Parlay just need to pick my 3 favs- leaning OKC BUCKS spreads and the over on BUCKS

I like the bucs and wizards.

I'm on the other side of the bulls bet. I think golden state wins this won. Only way i see them losing is curry and lee have an off shooting night which is always a possibility of course.

Hey Mavin whats your angle behind the Washington game... Do you see it as sort of a trap line because everyone will be hammering Minnesota?

Ok Added 4 picks to my card
Dal -1
GS ML +110
Atl -5
Over 205.5 Dal-S.A.

This is huge game for Dallas, big revenge factor huge with Tim Duncan out.
G.S. playing much better since the return of Curry, and Bulls coming off tough win at home against Detriot. Boston is playing b2b, 3 out of 4 nights, 4 out of six nights. They have to be wore out mentally and physically after all these tough losses. Atlanta is just a way better team at home.

previously on the card was...
N.O. -3
Hou-N.O. Over 200.5
Mil -4
Okc-Sac Over 209
Brk-Memp Under 177.5

With you on some, others  I am not Mavin. I have trust my own capping. Gl 2 everyone on NBA Friday.

Invitation: All you guys should come over to the NHL forum and check out some of my plays. I've been on fire... You guys all seem to be great cappers, It would be interesting to here your takes on the NHL!

NHL is a  whole lot easier to cap... No unbelievable point shaving and nonsense like that.

I disagree. I think Houston is too good to continue playing like absolute trash... They should atleast be able take New Orleans don't you think?

That's what I was thinking when I placed the bet! I probably just second guessing myself, as for now I have Houston to cover.

Good luck to all tonight on the thread!
