2-2 last night but a profit because the Nets won at surprisingly good odds.
Three games, four picks. As I'm back in the black, going for some higher payoffs.
All wagers and returns based on $10. Please check game time lineups before wagering.
Bulls at ROCKETS 8:05 pm EST, Grizzlies at MAVERICKS 8:35 pm, Trail Blazers at SUNS 9:05 pm
3-pointers: Wendell Carter Jr. (Bulls) double-double +300 (returns $40.00) Carter hasn't had a double-double since he returned from injury four games ago, but he's had four this season and when the teams last played he went for 10 and 8 against Christian Wood. No Wood tonight and soon-to-be-traded DeMarcus Cousins has a sore foot. Why take over 21.5 at -110 when the double-double gets me +300.
Blazers at Suns over 227 -112 AND Grizzlies at Mavericks over 232 -113 Parlay at +259 (returns $35.91) Liked both of these games to bring the O so decided to pair them up for a bigger score.
Ja Morant (Grizzlies) double-double +250 (returns $35.00) Morant has had 4 double-doubles in the past 7 games and in games 8 and 9 he had 9 assists. A game against the Mavs should provide lots of opportunities. If his teammates can shoot he should get the number.
2-pointers: Chris Paul (Suns) double-double +195 (returns $29.50) Was going to go with Deandre Ayton to double at -125 but Paul's odds are so much better and his chances are not that much worse.
Free throws: None
Steals: None
Winners:
3-pointers: Nets ML over Clippers +225 (returns $32.50) The Nets, with Durant, won 112-108. They actually seem to play better when only two-of-the-big-three play, as long as one of them is James Harden.
Steals: Elfrid Payton (Knicks) over 18.5 points, rebounds, assists -115 (returns $18.70) Payton went 11-1-7, just sneaking in at a 19 PRA.
Losers:
3-pointers: Zion Williamson (Pelicans) 1 made 3-pointer +350 (returns $45.00) Zion took a three. Missed it. Alas.
Steals: Knicks Over 109.5 vs Timberwolves -113 (returns $18.90) This was a crusher. Knicks had 87 through 3 and then scored only 16 in the 4th. Still won 103-99.
