NBA Sunday
Coming off our 1- unit winner yesterday, looks like we’ll have 2, maybe 3 plays for Sunday. I started toying with halftimes yesterday, and it worked out very well (3-0). I like to incorporate halftime plays when the game lines start tightening up during the season. I’ll try to take home some winning on halftimes today, and if it starts to prove profitable I may start to tweet the halftime lines I am taking.
Sunday’s plays:
Chicago Bulls +4.5
The Bulls are deeper than a lot of people give them credit for. On the other hand, the Heat are a 2.5 man show that is probably worse when all 2.5 are playing at the same time. The Heat can’t really hang with the Bulls on defense either. This game should be very close throughout and I don’t think the winner takes this one by more than 3 points. I would not be surprised if the Bulls win, take an 85-15% approach and bet the spread (-4.5) for 85% of your unit and the ML for 15% of your unit.
Toronto Raptors +5
The Nets are heavily favored by the public, but the spread actually ticked in their favor. The Raptors are a deep team that doesn’t have to depend on 30 minutes out of any one guy. On the other hand, the Nets HAVE to get 35+ minutes out of at least 2 guys every game.. Jordan Farmar is basically their only form of bench play. The Raptors will keep their legs fresh and keep this one close, pr maybe even win another road game tonight.
It’s also worth noting that the Nets dislike their home arena and they actually play better on the road than they do at home.
Cleveland Caveliers+7
I’m glad that the Celtics are going on a cute little public pleasing run. The Celtics have been a fixture of NBA greatness for decades and this year they just don’t live-up to their reputation, which is great for [good] bettors because the public will ride the Celtics until they have multiple losing years in a row. The Cavs are young, talented and very undervalued ever since LeBron jumped ship. Irving is getting better with every game, Sessions isn’t a slough coming in to relieve Irving, Gibson is almost a 3-pt specialist, they have experience and scoring in Jamison, they have 2 very athletic young guys in Gee and Thompson.. I mean this is a DEEP and TALENTED team. This line is already like stealing, and yet it may even get up to +7.5.
