Blazers -6 (-110), 1*
While I wish Avdija was playing for Portland, I’m not going to be scared off here. I know Utah is on a massive two-game winning streak despite management wanting the team to lose, but this is not a good spot for them tonight even if they were trying to win. Markkanen is out. George is out. They are trying so hard to lose that they just told JJJ to get elective surgery to hopefully lessen his injury risk in future years. So he’s obviously out. Portland plays hard every night. They had won three straight before losing to Minnesota last night. I think they get back in the win column heading into the all-star break. GL

Good way to go into the break. I can’t ask for much more then being about +25 units at this point of the season. It has been a solid four months. I will try to keep it going when the season resumes.
I will post any all-star related bets I make over the weekend. Usually I take a stab at the three point contest at the very least.

Hornets +5.5 (-110), 1*
Heat -3.5 (-110), 1*
I am going to bet the Lakers. I don’t think LeBron is going to play, so I’ll wait and see how low the spread goes once that is official. I’m also going to bet Denver. They played last night and I wouldn’t be stunned if Murray sits. As long as Jokic plays, I am betting the Nuggets. There’s just no reason to rush and bet them or the Lakers quite yet.

Hornets -8.5 (EV), 1*
I might add a couple more. I have a couple leans that haven’t made it across the finish line yet. I’m a little surprised the Knicks are getting 4.5. That means the Cavs would be favored on a neutral court, which I’m not sure if I agree with. I did bet the Cavs to win the title preseason, it’s not like I hate the team. Harden makes them better, although his postseason history worries me. I just don’t know if I agree that the Cavaliers are definitively better then the Knicks. I need to see more. I wonder if the bump they got from acquiring Harden is wearing off. Often you see teams get a bump when they acquire a good player or get a good player back from injury. Then that wears off. The Cavs had a nice win streak and then lost to OKC without SGA or Jaylen Williams in their last game. I wonder if they are going to level off a bit. Not go into the tank, just go back to winning 60% of their games as opposed to 100%. Something to think about if they lose again tonight. GL
