Couple thoughts on the games

**europe_baller** · 11-15-19, 05:06 PM

i dont like sixers line...but from what i saw.. if they play to their potential even close they are so tough...have so many threats..pacers are hot themselves..it is risky one... hmm

**europe_baller** · 11-15-19, 05:07 PM

are spurs ever going to win lol

**IBetYou** · 11-15-19, 09:08 PM

Trying to think what team the Jazz remind me of... Team USA, and that's not a good thing seeing as they didn't medal!

Similar dynamic. USA had Walker/ Mitchell/ Turner; Jazz have Conley/ Mitchell/ Gobert.

**IBetYou** · 11-15-19, 09:26 PM

Wow what a shot by Monk. He's having a great season.

**europe_baller** · 11-15-19, 11:20 PM

Yeah it was great shot..spurs lost and philla too had it in the bag almost..great win by memphis..

**Don_Omarion** · 11-16-19, 01:13 AM

opinion on Blazers +2 , Brooklyn +1 tomorrow?

**europe_baller** · 11-16-19, 11:27 AM

Nets are now at +2.5.. I kind of like them more than blazers.. Spurs played much better at Orlando and still came up short..they are in desperate search for win like blazers.. First game they were up 20 and blazers came all the way back..So i would give small edge to home team here but not sure tough game.. Nets played better in Utah and then in Denver but 2 tough road games that they had big leads but couldn't hold on to. Bulls are getting a lot of credit on some of the lines in first part of the season..

I like dallas at -3.5, and minnesota at 1.83 but just saw they took off that game.. I think westbrook sits this one out.. Capela already out..

**europe_baller** · 11-18-19, 10:34 AM

Pacers +4 vs Nets - I am waiting to see who is out for Pacers/Nets.. If Irving is out and if Brogdon plays..Turner is back I like Indy here almost regardless.. Nets had ok win vs Bulls but without Levert and Irving they could struggle to make up for it 2nd game in a row.. Indy can dominate glass with Turner Sabonis Bitadze and they already beat them few weeks back in Brooklyn..I will keep an eye before making this play..

Suns -3.5 vs Celtics - I can see Celtis lose this one in much easier fashion then yesterday even though they are deep and b2b shouldn't affect them as much. Suns are very solid team, good pg, one of the best scorers in the league, couple players shooting well and confidence is sky high at the moment.. They have energy coming of the bench in bridges, carter sometimes, cam, kaminsky..I just can see Celtics coming out flat and not being really a threat in this game but they play well so still thinking about this one..

Spurs +4.5 vs Mavs - Lost couple times on them but they did cover vs Magic even though they lost. They can't get enough stops and Derozan messed up game vs Magic with intentional foul after missing shot and then vs Portland.. He and Aldridge have to play good ball for them to win something..Mavs are good, talented but this game would be pick on neutral court almost and with Spurs in desperate need for the win I expect them to come out laser focused so 4.5 looks good to me despite their recent struggles.

Blazers +7.5 vs Rockets - Houston is really clicking and winning right now and they will have Capela back most likely as well as Russ.. I can still see high scoring game and 7.5 not so easy to cover..I am not sure why teams just dont double Harden constantly and have others in that team score 100 points if they can..Blazers coming off win in San Antonio, short trip to Houston, they should be ready for this one..

Also like Bulls but not sure I can bet them vs Bucks..Few days ago bulls score 19 threes and Bucks scored 5 and still won the game by 9.. Had like 17 boards more then Bulls.. Any comments...Good luck

**europe_baller** · 11-18-19, 12:14 PM

Brogdon, Mcconell and Lamb all out.. Staying away from Pacers for now even though line is +3.5 now.. No word on Kyrie yet.. Spurs jumped to +5, don't like that but I expect it to go down a bit

It’s funny you mention Bulls, they are my favorite play of the day. I see a few people on Spurs, which does interest me. I actually leaned Celtics over Suns

I ended up playing Bulls and Celtics and ofcourse Bulls shit the bed in the fourth wow

Yeah they shit the bed few games late like that.. gladly stayed away from them but your celtics bet looks good.. I wouldnt played suns if i had known for Rubio.. he is running that show and they dont get nearly as good looks right now.. also they are just very flat when I expected celtics to be after playing 3rd game in 4 days on the road..but like I said they are deep..

**europe_baller** · 11-19-19, 12:19 PM

Warriors(+6.5) vs Grizzlies - This G league team of Warriors at least will compete hard every game.. They are not great at all but Memphis has some good young players and had decent games and some not so much. They are better team but I almost like this Warriors team more without Russell.. Had them to cover vs Celtics and he had 9 turnovers before he left the game with injury..I mean 9!!!! Grizzlies should win this but I am not so sure about covering here.. What do you all think?

Looking at Kings -2..If rubio is out...Suns without him reminds me of old suns.. Not great shots last night, some were just missed but.. Booker makes silly fouls game in game out..Kings are playing better..Pelicans have a lot of players under ?..

**RavensFan2k3** · 11-19-19, 12:31 PM

Warriors was the game i liked today aswell, goodluck

Thanks you too... any other leans?

**IBetYou** · 11-19-19, 02:40 PM

If you take Kings-2 now you're effectively betting/ gambling Rubio dnp.

**IBetYou** · 11-19-19, 02:44 PM

I like the Grizzlies, but they were v.cool in the game vs the Nuggets. The starters came out flat before recovering, and then the subs came out flat. Blew the game in a horrific 3min stretch -similar to what the Suns endured at the end of the 1st half last night.

**IBetYou** · 11-19-19, 02:57 PM

fwiw I think the Suns win tonight regardless. Matchup triangle phenomena... Kings beat the Celtics, Celtics beat the Suns, Suns beat the Kings.

It's something you see all the time. I don't believe in hard & fast rules, but when I feel all 3 parts of the triangle are on the same level it tends to work.

**IBetYou** · 11-19-19, 05:05 PM

Suns are quite banged up though, not just Rubio. Definitely need to wait 'til warm-up time.

**europe_baller** · 11-19-19, 05:05 PM

Yeah suns were very bad last night.. kings playing better and now only -2.5 with baynes kaminski and rubio all ?.. it looks like then want kings money... I feel like warriors +6, pelicans ML and Suns ML in small parlay lol

Why not a large parlay lol

**europe_baller** · 11-19-19, 10:18 PM

Hey 1 left..

**IBetYou** · 11-19-19, 11:26 PM

Damn why did Rubio play? If he & Baynes both sit it's an easy no bet for me.

**IBetYou** · 11-20-19, 12:11 AM

I see why people don't like D.Booker... he's got the shooting stroke and the burst of speed but no feel for the game at all

**europe_baller** · 11-20-19, 11:41 AM

ughh you changed my mind from Kings then I looked at line and was like yeah Suns it is..

they were never in the game... Kings clicking at the moment and Bogdanovic was too good...

Yeah Booker makes same mistakes over and over, foul guys on 3 pt line and some silly fouls, not sure when to take over and such.. But he can be great... A lot of games today

**europe_baller** · 11-20-19, 12:09 PM

Pistons ML vs Bulls - Pistons when healthy should beat this Bulls team.. They lost last game in Charlotte and since had like 4 days off or something.. Just practice, get Blake and Drose in with few good practices I can see them winning this one.. Drummond down low should have good day and they already lost to Bulls in Chicago like 3 weeks back..Late in the game Pistons should have better playmakers than Lavine by himself...

Nuggets ML vs Rockets - I do like them..I don't like the way Rockets score/play but it is effective in reg season... Harden just outscores bunch of dumb teams and players.. I think Nuggets have enough wing players and are tough at home.. They will be ready to snap their streak and I think they get it done...

Spurs ML vs Wizards - but not sure I will play this.. so many games in row they lost and not looked good. Derozan was good last game but Dallas hit everything partially thanks to bad defense.. Just think they are still more of a defensive team than Wizards...

I like warriors again plus 14..Also looking at Magic.. Played them +7.5 at toronto couple weeks ago when they had lead late in 4th and lowry scored 10 points, 7 free throws and a three and even covered that game.. Tor playing really good now, maybe even better, FVV is great but line is suspicious in my mind and now dropped to 2.5.. Magic can win this but now sure if I want to play again against Raptors.. Wolves Utah interesting game again...

**Vulcan300** · 11-20-19, 04:25 PM

have pistons game circled, they couldn't get it done their first shot at it with it being blakes first game back, they get it done tonight.

i watch a lot of nets, with lavert out i don't see how you rely on dinwiddie, he's a very good bench guy but not a starter. hornets ML looks tempting, but usually when i fade the nets they show up.

I agree.. first thought to play hornets but looking at their roster it is nothing better then nets without levert and irving.. Nest laying couple of points since they are at home.. They had good stretches and Pacers last game was good bet was nets but not sure this one... Yeah I really like pistons

**europe_baller** · 11-20-19, 05:14 PM

No spurs..actually like

Celtics(+8) vs Clippers..

I don't think the Celtics are quite so hot without Hayward -even that win in Phoenix came with no Rubio and 3 other Suns players beat up. Clippers look formidable. They will put Beverley on Walker. Game 1 for them here as they're brand new, whereas the Celtics have continuity.

I'm surprised at the Toronto line. Magic were in position to win the earlier meeting there but woeful offensively. Raptors should cover that.

Agree that they are different without Hayward and I expect their level to drop some.. But they do defend.. Stevens put often Wannamaker now too with/without Kemba and he can make plays and kick it out... I expect Brown and Tatum both to show up..PG was very hot first couple of games but they were looking for him.. Now there is Lenard posting up somewhere while PG coming off pin down.. and then there is Lou...I think they will go on great run soon..I can see them taking this game late but expect Celtics to be in it...I could be wrong

Yeah I think Magic takes this game.. First time they were really bad and had chance to win it.. Raptors are good and line is strange but I think length of the Magic will slow down raps.. Raptors definitely are looking much much better than I anticipated they will be without Lenard..

**IBetYou** · 11-20-19, 06:35 PM

Two leans for me: Raptors & Spurs ATS.

Lineup changes for the Spurs tonight. Mills & Poeltl replacing Murray & Lyles. Long overdue imo.
