Record 12-6
Lox of the day:
Rockets ml -145: Oh boy this game will be a nail biter to watch. Looking at the rockettes, they are 8-2 su last 10. They have the highest ats record in the league and have the second best offense in the league, right behind the warriors. James harden is an mvp candidate, and in my opinion the only person to challenge westbrook for it. He averaging 28.3ppg, 7.8 rebounds and 12.4 assists a game, which is nothing short of spectacular. The raptors aren't anything to scoff at either. Theyve won 6 out of their last 10, which is a minor hiccup in the grand scheme of things and have an absolute allstar in derozan. Raptors are third in the league in scoring and their backcourt is second best, to the warriors of course. The raptors are a mediocre 4-6 ats the last 10 games. One thing to note is, the rockets are 1-8 su in toronto the past 9. Having said that, and watching how harden has played and the absurd firepower the rockets have demonstrated, raptors fall tonight in a shootout. Also, hydro on raptors so this is certified lox
Warriors over 225: not much to explain in this pick. Warriors lead the league in offense, have squishy interior defense and have anger on their side, thanks to losing to the grizzlies. Kings have cousins, who will have his way inside the paint. Warriors have went over their last 4 of 5 and the total has gone over 5-7 times when the kings visit oracle. I anticipate a nice high scoring game.
Cavs under 219: These teams have hit the under 8 out of the last 10 times theyve played. You may think this game screams "hey take the over, hey! Hey cmon take me!" But the suns are in a slump right now, and all they have to their name is offense. They are averaging 103ppg their last 10 while the cavs have been pouring in 109ppg. I see this game playing out like this, cavs pull away early, rest their starters since theyre on a 5 game road trip and then watch their big lead dwindle away, not caring because they know they already won this game before the first whistle is even blown.
Grizzlies -3.5: This game is gonna be a snoozer. Both defense first teams, heck even defense second, defense third, then offense fourth. Grizzlies are hiding some heavy momentum into this meeting, having just dismantled the warriors in oracle. The grizzlies have seen their offense "go all the way up" *thanks french montana*. Theyre averaging 108ppg, while the jazz are putting up 95ppg. The grizzlies are 8-3 su their last 11 home. When these two teams met earlier this season, it came down to the wire, in which the jazz pulled off the win, but the grizzlies have conely and paraons back for this meeting. I expect the jazz to be tired since they just played yesterday and the grizzlies cover the small line.
If anyone tails, best of luck.
2-2 tonight, record is now sitting at 14-8. cavs game was the complete opposite of what i envisioned, oh well. warriors game missed by 2 freaking points. grizzlies performed just as i expected, and the rockets game was a nail biter like i knew it would be.
missed my 25 dollar parlay for 450 barely (fucking blazers ml, lost to the pistards by 1 point) but at least i hit my straight bet
all in all, im eating.
