    ^^^^

    It is literally impossible to bet on the NBA at this point. Spurs getting roasted by Indiana? Really?

    Cavs have all the momentum and Bulls will be without Butler.

    Take the Cavs.

    It's gotten to the point where I'm convinced whatever I bet on, the opposite will occur.

    LeBron 8 TOs. Bulls 8 TOs.

    Cavs went through the motions, All-Star parties was on the mind. They play the Wizards next Friday, look for them to lose or not cover.

    I bet on the ROckets last night and won. But tonight, I'm a little reluctant, against the Nuggets??? It's a safe bet??? Can they win again in the Rocky Mountains???

    Rule #1 of gambling, never bet on your own team.

    Rockets at Blazers...one of the few games circled on my calendar. Houston's first trip back to Portland after Lillard's buzzer beating shot. Both teams playing well and both teams having the same amount of days to rest. Portland is without Matthews and Houston is without Dwight. I really wish the Blazers weren't coming off a loss at MN, but I like the Rockets here. Houston lost at home last time they played Portland and you would think there would be a revenge factor not just from that, but also from the way the playoffs ended last year in Game 6.

    Rockets opened as +3 with majority money seemingly on Portland, but line moving in the opposite direction to +2.5. This indicates that professional bettors aka sharp money is on the Rockets. The short line also makes it seem like the Rockets are the play here, especially given the fact that Houston was a -4.5/-5 favorite when they played at the Toyota Center. A little worried about the Blazers rebounding advantage, but let's cautiously take Houston +2.5 in what should be an exciting game...can't accuse me of being negative here.

    If Rockets win, the Jazz covering against Houston Thurs. night is a distinct possibility if Hayward returns given the back to back at Utah and a possible letdown spot for the Rockets before taking on the Clips.
