1-1 last night, two bets cancelled. It's getting impossible to pick the NBA before game time.

All wagers and returns based on $10. Please check game time lineups before wagering.
Hornets at KNICKS 7:35 pm EDT, Magic at HAWKS 7:35 pm, Nets at PELICANS 7:35 pm
3-pointers: None
2-pointers: KNICKS Over Hornets AND Under 208 +180 (Returns $28.00) This should be a defensive battle. If it's 38-34 after the 1st I'm going to be pissed.
Kyrie Irving (Nets) double-double +165 (Returns $26.50) Without Durant and Harden, we know Kyrie will look to score. But he ain't scoring 110 points so he's going to need to get shots for others.
Chuma Okeke (Magic) Over 1.5 made threes +118 (Returns $21.80) Okeke hit 11 threes in his first three games as a starter but that slowed once teams started defending that. He's been picking it up a little recently and hit two threes in his last two games. I don't think this game will be too close and he should get some open looks.
Wendell Carter Jr. (Magic) Over 9.5 rebounds +104 (Returns $20.40) Carter is averaging 8.5 rebounds, but when he plays 30 minutes+, but when he plays over 30 minutes, he averages 10.5. He should play 30+ tonight and many rebounds should be available.
Free Throws: Trey Young (Hawks) Under 24.5 points -109 (Returns $19.20) This is a numbers play - take it for what it's worth. Over the last 7 games, Young has scored 28, 13, 30, 14, 42, 15, 34.
Nets vs PELICANS Under 235 -109 (Returns $19.20) Neither of these teams is a defensive powerhouse and without Durant and Harden, the Nets aren't an offensive powerhouse. Since the game means something to the Nets, I don't think they'll let it become a run-and-gun affair.
Steals: Terry Rozier (Hornets) Over 33.5 points, rebounds, assists -113 (Returns $18.90) Rozier has been on fire lately. I don't think he'll score like the last two games, especially if Devonte Graham plays, but Rozier has also been piling up boards and assists.
Winners:
2-pointers: WIZARDS Over Thunder and Under 232 +112 (Returns $21.20) The Wizards won 119-107 = 226.
Losers:
Kelly Olynyk (Rockets) Over 20 points +250 (Returns $35.00) Olynyk put up his first stinker as the Rockets were crushed by Miami.
Canceled:
3-pointers: CELTICS -6.5 Over Bulls and Over 214.5 +260 (Returns $36.00) Didn't know until late that Marcus Smart and Kemba Walker were out. This would have been a loser.
Free Throws: HEAT -6.5 Over Rockets -110 (returns $19.10). Had seen Bam Adebayo's game winner so many times, didn't know until late that he was going to be sitting on the bench. This would have been a winner.
$20 wagered (1-1), $21.20 returned.
Day 104: +$1.20
Total: +120.85 (216-259 off 475 $10 wagers)
