Last night was typical of the way this season has been going for me: A nice early win with the Lakers and then the Pelicans go up 43-31 after a high-scoring first quarter. The game is clearly going to go over 216.5 and with a +7 I've got 18 points to play with. The Pels were then outscored by 29 the rest of the way. Ack. Kelly Oubre had started to turn his season around and then last night put up a clunker against the Knicks. RJ Barrett played great but didn't get a double-double. That I can deal with.

Losers:

Steals: Kelly Oubre (Warriors) Over 22.5 points, rebounds, assists -103 (returns $19.90) Oubre's 7-6-3 line was a disappointment to me and the Warriors.
