Fats Baller

0-4 last night. The first time I got skunked in awhile. Yesterday I wrote that there are nights I hate picking NBA games and then last night the NBA gods stuck it to me. Wasn't even in the ballgame.

Saturday picks

Three games, four plays. Gotta go better than last night.

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

Cavaliers at HEAT 8:05 pm EDT, Magic at JAZZ 9:05 pm, Bucks at KINGS 10:05 pm.

3-pointers: None

2-pointers: Bucks Over KINGS And Under 239 +180 (returns $28.00) Bucks back to playing well. Kings with a bad loss last night will probably score 150 tonight but I'm playing the percentages.

HEAT Over Cavaliers And Under 208.5 +110 (returns $21.00) Heat should win the game at home and 208 is pretty low for an NBA game, but the Cavs can't score.

Steals: Magic +15 Over JAZZ -113 (returns $18.90) I expect the Jazz to win the game, but the new-look Magic have won two straight and Utah doesn't seem that interested in blowing teams out.

Bam Adebayo (Heat) Over 31.5 points, rebounds, assists -118 (returns $18.50) The Heat are starting to roll and Adebayo brings it every night. A 31.5 PRA is below his average so as long as the Cavs don't get blown out in the first half, Bam should play enough minutes.

Friday Results

Winners:

None

Losers:

2-pointers: TRAIL BLAZERS Over the Bucks (moneyline) +120 (returns $22.00) Bucks won 127-109.

Free throws: KINGS -4.5 Over Lakers -108 (returns $19.30). Just when you think the Kings may not be frauds, a depleted Lakers team crushes them 115-94.

KNICKS vs Mavericks over 212.5 -112 (returns $19.00) Mavericks won 99-86, a 27.5-point miss for both Fats and the oddsmakers.

Steals: De'Aaron Fox (Kings) Over 37.5 points, rebounds, assists -113 (returns $18.90) Fox went 12-1-5 = 18 and shot 5-20 from the field.

Canceled:
