1-4 last night BUT the lone winner was a +375 Paul George double-double so the night was basically a wash. Other plays were close but not close enough.
Two games, three plays. I really wanted to start picking only double-doubles since those the bets I've been more consistently winning, but there just aren't enough options today. +140 for Draymond Green is too low given his aversion to scoring. +145 for Michael Porter Jr. is too low, given he's only been close to a double-double once in his last 7 games. Can't pick the Mavericks vs. Pistons because 3 starters are out for Detroit and all of Dallas's key players are questionable.
All wagers and returns based on $10. Please check game time lineups before wagering.
Mavericks at PISTONS 7:05 pm EDT, Bucks at ROCKETS 8:05 pm.
3-pointers: Kelly Olynyk (Rockets) double-double +210 (Returns $31.00) Olynyk has won 7 of 8 times for me but I've never taken him on the double-double. But . . . he's doubled things up in 4 out of his last 10 games, usually with rebounds but once with 11 assists – and in four more games had 8 or 9 boards. That means he should have a chance if the Rockets can stay close enough to keep him in the game.
2-pointers: Christian Wood (Rockets) double-double +100 (Returns $20.00) Wood averages a double-double and has been cleaning up on the boards the last two games.
Free throws: None
Steals: Isaiah Stewart (Pistons) Over 24.5 points, rebounds, assists -113 (Returns $18.90) With Mason Plumlee out, Stewart will get the minutes if he can stay out of foul trouble. He's going to get rebounds, the question is on the points and assists.
Winners:
3-pointers: Paul George (Clippers) double-double +375 (Returns $47.50) The Clippers lost to the Suns, but George came up big for me late with 25 points and 10 rebounds.
Losers:
3-pointers: Miles Bridges (Hornets) double-double +350 (Returns $45.00) Bridges went 19-4-4 in a Hornets loss to the Celtics, 120-111.
Anthony Davis (Laker) double-double +300 (Returns $40.00) Davis finished with 26 points, but only 5 boards.
2-pointers: KNICKS Over Bulls and Over 209 +195 (Returns $29.50) The Knicks pulled away from the Bulls in the 4th to win 113-94 = 207, but the total came up 3 points short.
SIXERS Over Hawks and Over 214.5 +132 (Returns $23.20) The Sixers massacred the Hawks 127-83 = 210, but the total cam up 5 points short. 83, Hawks? Really?
