RIVER CITY SHARPS

Golf The Memorial Tournament

Tournament plays for the Memorial, which starts Thursday, Jun 04, 2015 in Columbus, OH

Matt Kuchar – 10/170
Jim Furyk – 10/200
Justin Thomas – 10/450
Steve Stricker – 10/700
Harris English – 10/800
Chesson Hadley – 10/1000

Furyk has good numbers there, rounding into form a bit as well…
I’m not sure how other guys do it, but my goal on Tournament plays for golf is that the total stake of my wagers (say $60 here, could be $600, doesn’t matter) equals roughly 1/3 of the winning result with the lowest odds player I have selected. So here, I have laid out $60 for six players and if Kuchar wins (my lowest odds), I win $170.
Not sure how/why I came to this theory, but it seems to work pretty well…so I stick with it! I use the same with NASCAR, although it is generally 3-4 drivers max. FWIW….Best of luck.

Game 1 Props – Best Bets
By VI News

Game 1 of the NBA Finals tips off Thursday and bettors will have plenty of opportunities to cash tickets on the best-of-seven series between the Warriors and Cavaliers.

Along with your basic side and total wagers, all sportsbooks are offering up “Proposition Wagers” or “Props” for each game of the series.

Similar to our predictions for each round, our trio of NBA experts will be offering up their Best Prop Bets for each game.

Based on a five-unit bankroll for each game, their top plays are listed below.

Pro capper – Chris David

3 Units – Over Tristan Thompson Total Rebounds 10.5 (-120)

A lot of bettors look at averages for prop wagers but I would advise to look at current form and then the particular numbers posted by the oddsmakers. Thompson is averaging 9.9 rebounds per game in the playoffs, which is up from his regular season numbers (8 RPG). However, his minutes and numbers have both gone up since Kevin Love went out with an injury. In the last 10 games for Cavs, he’s posted 10 or more boards in seven games and 11-plus five times. What I like about Thompson is that he’s been fearless on the road, especially in the last two series. During the five games versus the Bulls and Hawks, he posted 37 and 26 rebounds respectively for an average of 12.6 PPG. Lastly, I believe the layoff for Game 1 will hurt both teams offensively, which will lead to more rebounds and hopefully a winning ticket.

1 Unit – Under Timofey Mozgov Total Points & Rebounds 17.5 (-115)

This wager is practically tied into my Thompson investment since both players will be roaming the Cavaliers frontcourt. In 14 playoff games, Mozgov has surpassed this total five times and just three times since Love went out. His numbers are much better at home than on the road and I don’t see him getting as many minutes in this series unless center Andrew Bogut gets more time for Golden State and that hasn’t been the case lately.

1 Unit – Under Klay Thompson Total Made 3 Point Field Goals 2.5 (+130)

Despite the concussion issue, I expect Thompson to be fine for Game 1. With that being said, this wager is based strictly on tendencies for him at home in the playoffs rather than the injury. In eight games at Oracle Arena in the playoffs, he’s hit at least three 3-pointers in four games (3, 3, 3, 4) and a few barely got there. For whatever reason, his percentages have been down at home and grabbing the plus money is an added kicker.

Pro capper – Tony Mejia

2 Units – Over Stephen Curry Total made free throws 4.5 (+105)

His ability to get past Kyrie Irving and Matthew Dellavedova will be a huge factor here, since the Cavs are going to be looking to take away his perimeter looks and will over-play. He’ll get to the line within the flow of the game, is always a threat to be fouled on 3-pointers and may also have opportunities down the stretch in the fourth quarter to seal this one up. Curry would be 7-8 on this prop this postseason, but has topped seven free throws in games seven times. He’s shot double-figure free throws four times. Only Mike Conley and Tony Allen were able to stay in front of him effectively this postseason and there’s no one of that caliber in this series.

1 Unit – Under Kyrie Irving Total Made Points + Assists 26 (-120)

The Cavs would love to see him assert himself in this series opener to alleviate fears that he’s going to be a liability in this series, but they’re not going to fill his plate up with early responsibilities when the priority is to see how he handles moving around chasing Curry. If he’s off his game or less mobile than expected, he’s not going to get to these figures.

1 Unit – Over Tristan Thompson Total Rebounds 10.5 (-120)

What Chris David wrote. I’ll add that he’ll be able to float since it’s more likely that Mozgov is tying up Bogut, so he’ll lead the Cavs in rebounding in this series more often than not. Given the boundless energy

1 Unit – Over Iman Shumpert 3-point field goals 1.5 (-130)

Expect him to be on the floor more than J.R. Smith in this Game 1. Unless he goes Game 7 John Starks on us, he’ll have a host of opportunities to knock this out and has been aggressive and effective over the past two series in taking his looks. He’s averaged six 3-pointers per game over the last 10 (EC Semis & ECF), hitting 23 (38 pct.) and would have won this wager six of 10 times. Look for him to knock down a couple.

Pro capper – Kevin Rogers

3 Units – Under Kyrie Irving Total Points & Assists 26 (-120)

It may seem too easy to take this prop, but until the Cavaliers’ point guard proves he’s healthy, there’s no reason to think Irving is going to blow up in the opener. Irving scored 16 points and dished out five assists in just 22 minutes of the series clincher against Atlanta after missing two games. However, Irving never produced more than six assists in any of his 12 playoff games, as winning this prop would likely mean he would have to score at least 20 points. Since Game 3 of the conference semifinals against the Bulls, Irving put up over 16 points just once in his last six games.

1 Unit – Under Stephen Curry Total Made 3 Point Field Goals 5.5 (-200)

The league MVP had a strong series from behind the arc against the Rockets in the Western Conference Finals, but Curry is facing a much better defense in this round. Cleveland led all playoff teams with a .281 defensive three-point field goal percentage, while limiting Atlanta to 10-of-49 in two road victories in the East Finals. At home in the playoffs, Curry hit five three-pointers or less in six of eight contests at Oracle Arena.

1 Unit – Over LeBron James Total Made 3 Point Field Goals 1.5 (-115)

James has been dreadful from long distance in the playoffs, drilling just 12-of-68 three-point attempts. So why take the ‘over’ on this prop? The odds are -115 each way and James will definitely get looks, attempting at least five treys in nine playoff games. Asking James to hit just two at his price isn’t asking a lot, as you have the entire game to cash this prop as opposing to limiting yourself early if James knocks down a pair of three-pointers.

PREDICTION MACHINE – NBA FINALS PREVIEW

2015 NBA Finals – Odds to win the title.

The NBA Finals begin on June 4th. The championship will feature the league MVP, Stephen Curry, against the four-time MVP LeBron James. Cleveland is seeking its first NBA title while Golden State has been in a championship drought since 1975.

Before the NBA Playoffs began, we projected the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers to meet in the NBA Finals 19.0% of the time, which was the most likely finals matchup. The Warriors were our most likely champion winning the NBA Title 30.0% of the time in our simulations.

While we could not foresee the season-ending injury to Kevin Love, the suspension of JR Smith, the possible concussion of Klay Thompson or the nagging knee/ankle injury of Kyrie Irving, we can account for these injuries, roster changes and even how team depth charts have been utilized throughout the postseason to produce new projections for this specific series. Updating all numbers, the Golden State Warriors should be the favorites, but not quite as significant as the sportsbooks in Las Vegas would suggest.

In 50,000 simulations of the NBA Finals, Golden State wins over Cleveland 68.3% of the time. The most likely scenario (as seen below) is a five game series won by the Warriors who have home court advantage and would close out that series in front of the home crowd at Roarcle. The current consensus lines have Golden State as a -240 favorite to win the series and Cleveland at +190. To be comfortable wagering on either side, one would have to be at least 70.6% confident in the Warriors at -240 or at 34.5% confident in the Cavs at +190. In other words, this series is not bettable and there is no value in backing either team to win the title.

In our simulations we assume that Kyrie Irving is fully healthy, having eight days off between games should go a long way to calming the tendinitis he was suffering from in the conference finals. The Cavs will need their young star to shine if they are going to upset the favored Warriors. Cleveland is most likely to win the series in six games. This means LeBron and company will need to win on the road, a tall task. The Warriors only lost two homes games during the regular season and one (vs. Memphis) in the playoffs.

Neither team is likely to sweep the other. There is a 58.0% chance that the series goes at least six games and a 28.2% chance the series gets to a decisive Game 7.

Here are the results of the 2015 Warriors-Cavaliers NBA Finals played 50,000 times:

Region Team ♦ In 4 ♦ In 5 ♦ In 6 ♦ In 7

Eastern Cleveland ♦ 3.7 ♦ 5.8 ♦ 12.5 ♦ 9.7

Western Golden State ♦ 11.4 ♦ 21.1% ♦ 17.3 ♦ 18.5
