3-3 last night. Lost 60 cents. Losers weren't close.
One game, four picks. It's been awhile – maybe never – since I went all in on one contest, but . . . there are only four games tonight and I have no idea who's playing in the Magic-Clippers contest, I have no idea if Russell Westbrook can be bionic again with Bradley Beal out so the Hornets-Wizards could devolve into a blowout, and not sure if a road-weary Hawks squad is going to have the energy to stay with the hot Suns. Blowouts lead to bad pop bets.
All wagers and returns based on $10. Please check game time lineups before wagering.
Sixers at NUGGETS 9:05 pm.
3-pointers: Nikola Jokic (Nuggets) triple-double +333 (returns $43.30) It's been 4 games since Jokic had back-to-back triple-doubles. He's due. And the least time these played without Joel Embiid in the lineup, he went for 15-12-9.
2-pointers: Nikola Jokic (Nuggets) double-double AND Nuggets win +140 (returns $24.00) See above.
Steals: Danny Green (Sixers) Over 15.5 points, rebounds, assists -113 (returns $18.90) In his last 10 games, Green has gone over 15.5, seven times. I like his chances tonight against a Nuggets team that will have to concentrate on other Sixers weapons.
NUGGETS Over 112.5 vs Sixers -115 (returns $18.70) The Sixers have been on the road for over a week, the Nuggets have added Aaron Gordon. That's all I got.
Winners:
2-pointers: Jakob Poeltl (spurs) Over 10.5 points +105 (returns $20.50) Poeltl scored 17 as the Spurs lost 132-115 to the Kings.
Russell Westbrook (Wizards) Over 10.5 rebounds +100 (returns $20.00) Westbrook had 14 rebounds to go with 35 points and 21 assists in 39 minutes of an amazing triple double as the Wizards won 132-124.
Steals: Karl-Anthony Towns (T-Wolves) Over 25.5 points -113 (returns $18.90) Towns scored 31 in a 112-107 Wolves loss to the Nets.
Losers:
2-pointers: Jimmy Butler (Heat) double-double +150 (returns $25.00) Butler went 27-5-6 in a Heat win over the Knicks.
Free throws: Kevin Porter Jr. (Rockets) Over 16.5 points -102 (returns $19.80) Porter went 5-17, 0-7 from three and scored only 10 points as the Rockets lost to the Grizzlies 120-110.
KNICKS +4.5 Over HEAT -107 (returns $19.20) The Knicks lost 98-88 in a stiff of a game.
