Recap:
Winner. That one was shit the first half and then was a breeze in the second. The Celtics came out exactly how I thought they would come out and that was on fire. I hated all of it because I hate the Celtics but it helped this bet a lot. The only problem was in the first half they stupidly kept letting KAT get the ball on the switch and didn’t double him even though he seemed to be the only Knick that could score. He had 12 at half and thankfully ended the game that way. He was pretty non existent in the third quarter with only one missed shot and then he was pulled. I mean that was an ass kicking. He didn’t have a chance in the second half with how big of a lead the Celtics had because they simply couldn’t miss a shot. That is now three in a row and I don’t hate betting the NBA as much now. I needed to start off hot in the NBA so I wouldn’t immediately hate it so I really needed this one. One step closer to 20.
Lock: Giannis Antetokounmpo U18.5 RA 1u to win 0.9u
Groundbreaking Analysis:
This line is too high. I stared and stared at his props and I thought this was the best play. I am still a little frightened this guy could score at will against this team but I don’t think he is hitting his overs in these other two stats. Giannis was injured last season and he has made it a point this offseason to really emphasize that his main goal is to stay healthy this season. How do you stay healthy? You don’t do put the maximum effort in rebounds and stay a little further away from the rim. He is already on the injury report so the Bucks should be conservative on his playing time. Giannis understands that this is the first game of the season and all he has to do is get a Bucks win. He doesn’t need to get all of the stats and I expect him to sit early. On the other side the 76ers are sitting everyone as per usual and I think this game is a blowout by the fourth quarter. That is why this goes under. We get a Giannis who isn’t going to stat pad and is also going to sit early because of a blowout. We are getting this under. We get four in a row. Under. Under. Under. For Underia 🏴
