Just one for me tonight. 0.5u Knicks +5. The Hawks are so inconsistent and they've been awful at home recently. This is the start of 3 road games in 4 days for the Knicks so this is an important game for them. Lee is out but I'm not too concerned about it. I expect this to be a close game.

+0.5u. I think the Knicks would have won the game outright if Melo wasn't ejected. They were having a lot of trouble finding open shots down the stretch and Rose was having to force the action. I'm so unimpressed with this Hawks team and I'll probably be looking for spots to fade them in the future.

Nice job @AlejandroMMA! EDIT: Btw, where are you getting all these great lines? Or are you buying points?
 
riding columbus streak, of course. -115? sure, why not. 2.3u.

on streak subject, passing on minnesota near -200 but they should win.

i like tampa -130, too. to win a unit.
 
If Embiid was playing tonight, I would probably play the sixers at +10 or higher. With him out & Hill coming back it's a no go for me.

I think I might give the 6.5 to the Heat tonight. Charlotte playing their 3rd game in 4 days, -and have been super inconsistent of late. They don't play much defense, so I think the heat can stay in the game especially if Dragic ends up playing.

Sounds like Dragic is in. Conley and Parsons are expected to play for Memphis also. I think I'm going to be on the Grizzlies tonight but I'm hoping for money to come in on OKC so I can get a better line. Thinking about actually laying the points with the Lakers too but nothing locked in yet.
 
Damn Embiid out bahhhhh. +14.5 now but still. Need to think about it. Playing Memphis- 1.5.

$ isn't green anymore homie, it's BLUE.

Let's get some more Jacket dough!

2.34u for me.

Yeah and Hill playing for Utah. Still think Utah is a little overvalued here but meh, pass for me. Would have taken it if it were any other team or if Embiid were playing
 
Still liking my Memphis lean, gonna lock it in later (probably within 2 hours because I feel like Conley and Parsons getting the green light might affect the line). Still not terribly sure for how much, though. I was originally thinking 4u but idk. Westbrook is gonna have an elite defender on him all game whether its Conley or Allen. Seems like Conley isn't even that hurt, sitting out the last game was more of a precaution. Adams is gonna be away from the rim defending Gasol. Memphis is the second best team in the league at limiting offensive rebounds. Still no Oladipo for OKC. Memphis is one of the best teams at home. websites have OKC are the consensus favorite among the betting market.

Thanks man - I almost always buy a point or two for NBA, might be a bad habit but it ends up saving my day sometimes. I'll indicate if I did so in the future cause I know it may seem like I have crazy good lines haha.
 
I'm gonna stop wagering on bad NBA teams as a good deal of my losses come from betting on them in good situations but they still end up crapping the bed. I'll still bet on the Lakers, though, as I think I have a great read on them being from Los Angeles and watching all their games

NBA Thursday:
Memphis Grizzlies -1.5 for 3.3u

I ended up taking the Grizzlies -1.5 for my usual 0.5u earlier. They're now saying that Conley is questionable. Let's hope he plays.

Any thoughts on the Lakers tonight?
 
NBA 12/29

Loving the Grizzlies today!

2.5u to win 3u on Grizz ML/Toronto ML
2u on Raptors -7 (B+1)
1u on 76ers +16.5 (B+2)/Heat +9 (B+2)
1u on Lakers -3
0.5u on Celtics +7

Last game I have to look into. Ill get back to you later when I confirm my deicision but its hard to back the Lakers as favorites, especially since Dallas is a really well coached team
 
I'm playing the Grizzlies -1.5 as my only straight bet (got it earlier before line moved). Gonna try my 4 team RR again since I swept that shit last night LOL.

Grizzlies -2 (and had to buy half a pt as it's up to 2.5)
Miami/Charlotte over 203.5 (Dragic playing so hopefully pace of the game is a bit quicker)
Sixers +14
Lakers -3 (again had to buy half a pt)

Let's go boys!

All the cool kids are on the Lakers tonight. Just sayin'.
 
Shit, Conley is out. Still think we can get this though.

EDIT: Grizz -1 now
 
Don't worry about no Conley. It hurts but still not bad. Still like the Grizzlies a lot

Ugh. All these NBA "tips" now about players with injury status seem to be less and less reliable. CP3 yesterday, Conley today.

It hurts. Harrison is a pretty decent defender but he doesn't have Conley's lateral quickness. He's bigger which makes up for some of it, but relatively speaking Conley does an okay job on Westbrook. Hopefully Harrison can make Russ work hard for what he gets. Obviously the #'s still gonna be there but hopefully he makes him work and his jumper suffers late in the game.

Conley is better offensively too than Harrison, need Gasol to have a big game.
