There are few events finer than Meatloaf on a Saturday, and that is exactly what happened yesterday. Two of three bets were successful as Damian Lillard made a field goal with under one minute to play. Thus earning 25 points and getting off the hook. 

The parlay on the moneyline was successful as both the Milwaukee Bucks and Oklahoma City Thunder won their match. The profit was 1.34 units yesterday, and we are looking for better results today.

Celtics vs Wizards Prediction: WAS +17.5  (-112 on DraftKings) 2.0U Bet of the Night

The Washington Wizards were featured in the bet of the night earlier this week, but in a parlay. The Denver Nuggets had their best game of the season against the Los Angeles Clippers causing the parlay to fail. Today they are featured again, but this time without a parlay. 

There are several opportunities to add teased numbers to this bet in order to make it a positive odds wager. However, -112 and an added hook to our advantage is a great pick, and the prediction is for them to come out with better offense than anticipated today. 

The Boston Celtics could rest players, or put their second sting unit in for more minutes. For example, Payton Pritchard has played 30 or more minutes in five of his last six games. The Wizards are also scoring better with 112 or more points in their last three games. Their average is only 107.5, and Fantasy Alarm has exposed an error in the sportsbook’s algorithm. Hammer this bet with two units. 

 

 

 

Grizzlies vs Lakers Prediction: MEM -4 (-110 on Bet365) 

The Memphis Grizzlies travel to Crypto.com Arena to take on the Los Angeles Lakers, in a last game of the night, Western Conference showdown. The most electrifying USA born player, Ja Morant, leads his team against the King, Lebron James.

It is almost an unofficial baton pass from a purely basketball perspective. LeBron James has handled being in the national spotlight as a teenager better (and longer) than anyone I’ve ever witnessed. To expect Ja Morant, or anyone, to hold up to those standards isn’t truly fair. But on the court Ja Morant attacks the rim with the fury of a young LeBron James. They both command full respect of opposing coaches, and are priority number one in stopping. 

Although the Lakers have the better roster, they are not playing in better rhythm and do not have the best coaching. Hence why the Grizzlies are favored -4 in tonight’s match. Memphis has won nine of their last ten games, while the Lakers have lost seven of their last ten. 

The Grizzlies score 11.5 points more per game, and allow 2 less per game than the Lakers. The spread is a no-brain bet, put a unit on it.

 

 

 

NBA Player Props & Other Picks Today, 12/15

As disappointed as we were with the actions of a player, and the fact that he cost us a unit on a plus odd props, we are clearly past that. Today we return back to a veteran to do what he does best.
 

 

 

Spurs vs Timberwolves Prediction: Chris Paul Over 8.5 Assists (-105 on Draftkings) 

Chris Paul earned four assists in 11 minutes of the first quarter in the San Antonio Spurs most recent match against the Utah Jazz. The problem is he had some nasty words with the referee and earned two technical fouls in less than 0.001 seconds of playing time.

That earned the 39 year old an ejection, and ruined a bet. Not to worry because he now has fresh legs and hopefully a little revenge on his mind… even if it is just against the referees. Paul did move into second all-time in assists and should keep adding to the total. 

Tonight the sportsbooks have moved his assists line down one, and are offering it at almost even odds. The Spurs are playing at the Target Center against the Minnesota Timberwolves, and the Spurs are scoring more points than the Timberwolves. This should to lead more assists for Paul.

Good players respond after a bad performance, and great ones respond with highlight reel type numbers. We are expecting a double-double from Paul, and that could be worth a sprinkle. But for the column put a unit on over 8.5 assists tonight.
