Today: 0-3/YTD: 110-108, -9.23

January 4th


Timberwolves -6 (-110), 1*
Nuggets -1.5 (-110), 1*

There are three other sides I could bet. I’m taking a bit of a risk by betting these games early. I don’t have any injury concerns with Minnesota. Maybe Murray doesn’t play for Denver, but you could say the same for Wemby. I think both will play and Denver will get the better of the Spurs in the rematch.

I plan to bet the Knicks again. Chicago is a good team to bounce back against. Brunson will more then likely be questionable, so let’s wait on him. The Knicks really fell apart in the fourth quarter against OKC and I think they will be motivated to get back on track and get the bad taste of the Thunder game out of their mouth. The Grizzlies are a possibility. They are shorthanded, but they play hard every night. If Curry and others are out for the Warriors, I think Memphis can scratch out a hard fought win. Lastly, I’m monitoring the Hawks again. While they played today, they are staying in Los Angeles. Also, Kawhi is supposedly making his season debut. I think it could take the Clippers a little time to get him comfortable and learn how to play with him. This spread is up to -6.5 already. If Trae and Jalen Johnson play again tomorrow, I think the Hawks are getting too many points. They shot 17.5% from three tonight against the Lakers, which buried them. There should be a little increase towards their season average of 35.5% in this game. I will have an update tomorrow night as soon as we know more about the health of these players.

Also, I am determined to have a good day after this 0-3 performance. Everyone has bad days, but I was hoping to go 3-0 heading into the weekend like I did in college hoops. Or at least 2-1. That just means I have to get it back Saturday and Sunday. GL.

Definitely passing on Memphis. Too many guys out, too much uncertainty. The Hawks are still on my radar, waiting to find out the status of the same three players as last night.

YTD: 111-110, -10.43

January 6th


Heat +2.5 (-110), 1*

I meant to post my bet on Sacramento last night and I got too caught up in the NFL. I’m against the Kings tonight. Last night was their first game without Fox. Often teams get a bump when their best player is out. The rest of the players get more opportunities, guys get minutes that they don’t normally receive and teams often win game one. The second game there is often a drop-off, especially on a back to back. Guys don’t match the energy from the night before. Maybe those role players who are getting more minutes don’t play as well. You also have the fatigue factor. This happened with Dallas when Luka went down most recently. They won the first game without him and then got blown out the next night. I also believe the Heat could turn a little corner here with the Butler drama behind them, at least for the next couple weeks. They got embarrassed by Utah their last game out. I think they bounce back and get a win. GL

January 7th


Sengun over 19.5 points (-115), 1*
Julius Randle 20+ points (-105), 1*
DeAndre Hunter over 19.5 points (-110), 1*

I lean the Hornets, but I don’t feel like betting them. They are hard to trust. I might bet the Celtics now that this line is going down with White being ruled out. Gross loss with the Heat last night. They were up 1 in the first overtime and fouled Sacramento. Kings make one of two and the game goes to a second overtime, where Miami loses by five. That was the only outcome at the end of the first overtime that would have caused a potential loss. GL

There was a small window I might have missed to bet Boston. Jokic got downgraded from probable to questionable with an illness. If he plays and the line goes back to -6, I will bet Boston. Otherwise, I’m not going to get involved in the game.

Cavaliers -2.5 (-115), 1*

I’m going to go through the prop market shortly. Just got home. Pelicans and Nuggets are maybes. Let’s see if Murray plays for the Pelicans or Jokic plays for Denver.

Cavs/Thunder under 231 (-110), 1*
Guerschon Yabusele over 13.5 points (-110), 1*

People are betting the Thunder total up and I disagree. At 231, I think this is a good bet. Also, frontcourt players have dominated the Wizards. I bet Sengun last night for this reason and he went over comfortably. 76ers are very shorthanded tonight, especially at center. I think Yabusele plays a lot and goes over. GL

I know they have a few guys out, but that is something they have dealt with all season. Murray is playing, Alvarado is back. They don’t need much to beat Portland, especially with Grant out.

DK is one of the only books with +7. I’m fine with 6.5 too. More later. GL

Pacers -11 (-108), 1*
Nikola Vucevic over 20.5 points (-115), 1*

As I mentioned the other day, it has been a successful angle to bet on the best front court player on the team opposing Washington. Tonight that person is Vucevic. This worked with Sengun and Yabusele already this week. This won’t win every time, but I’m definitely going to ride this until it turns. GL

Nothing for me today. With almost half the games being postponed, there isn’t much going out there I see that has value. That Wizards angle hit again last night with Vucevic going over in the third quarter. They play OKC tomorrow, so I will probably bet Hartenstein’s over.

Naz Reid over 13.5 points (-115), 1*

I am posting this first because this is the only 7pm EST game. We got unlucky with Hartenstein last night. He had ten points, but only played 22 min because OKC was up 40. Instead of Gobert tonight, I prefer Reid. More to come shortly.
