Saturday NBA: After being shutout Friday, Fats picks LaMelo Ball, Joe Harris, the Nets and a 3-game parlay

Fats Baller

0-4. Skunked. It's been awhile. The difference between winning and losing is so small – unless you take the Over on the Magic vs Spurs.

Saturday picks

Four games, four picks. It's gotta go better than yesterday.

All wagers and returns based on $10. Please check game time lineups before wagering.

Pistons at NETS 7:05 pm EST, Raptors at HORNETS 7:05 pm, Trail Blazers at TIMBERWOLVES 8:05 pm, Pacers at SUNS 10:05 pm

3-pointers: 3-Team Parlay – Pistons at NETS Over 226.5 points AND Trail Blazers at TIMBERWOLVES Over 234.5 AND SUNS Over Pacers on the moneyline +400 (returns $50.00) All these low-odds bets get boring so I'm trying something with a potential payoff.

2-pointers: Joe Harris (Nets) Over 13.5 points And Nets win +110 (returns $21.00) The Nets are going to win the game but a straight W bet isn't worth anything. Harris did little in 33 minutes against the Pistons when the Nets lost, I think he'll show more tonight.

Free throws: LaMelo Ball (Hornets) Over 30.5 points, rebounds, assists -110 (returns $19.10) Ball had a rare stinker in the Hornets last game, but made this number in the previous six. I think he'll return to that form tonight.

Steals: Nets Over 118.5 -118 (returns $18.50) The Pistons upset the Nets in February. Won't happen tonight.

Thursday Results

Winners:

None. Ugh.


Losers:

3-pointers: Kevin Porter Jr. (Rockets) Double-double +1200 (returns $130.00) Didn't win this wager, but I'd make it every time (which could mean I'd lose it every time). Porter double-doubled in his first game and last night at +1200 went 27-8-3. Dude looks like a baller.

2-pointers: Justin Patton (Rockets) Over 5.5 rebounds +100 (returns $20.00) Patton Only had 5 boards.

Free throws: JAZZ Over 123.5 vs Rockets -112 (returns $19.00) The Jazz had 92 at the end of three quarters, but a 22-point 4th was a crusher.

Steals: Magic vs. SPURS Over 214.5 -113 (returns $18.90) I feared both teams could play in slo-mo and they did in a 104-77 Spurs win.


Canceled:

None

$40 wagered (0-4), $0 returned.

Day 71: -$40.00

Total: +$104.35 (154-175 off 329 $10 wagers)
