    I won on a GSW tease -4.5 and over 200, but it was closer than expected. No great analysis....basically betting against Eastern Conference teams when they play decent A Western Conference teams.

    Knicks looking like they're having a tough time figuring out the triangle. LOL

    taking Jazz+4

    Also going to look at the quarters for the Spurs @ LAL once my bookie makes them available online.

    Taking the Heat +2 tonight.

    This is an interesting game, I had very high hope for the Hawks this year but after seeing them play the last few games, I had to say maybe I need to lower the expectation.

    Millsap is absolutely godlike so far for them and he basically carried the Hawks for the last 3 wins, however, Horford is playing like crap - probably not recovering from injuries yet, Teague is turning to "Lin" like performance, one night is good, another night he is purely garbage, their bench is weak and also got guys hurt and for some reasons, Schroder - whose their best player in the bench is not getting enough playing time so far. Too many question marks for this team and I just don't like them to be the favorite against a decent east team.

    On the other hand, Heat was off a surprising loss with Bosh playing like crap, he is playing well overall this season, with one day rest, I expect them to bounce back and take a win here.

    Well, seems Wade will not be playing tonight and also Mcrobert will be out also, line is up to +5 now.

    Still like the Heat with this line but I am also getting a second bet on the Cavs at -6, like them at this spot against the C.

    Also believe the 76ers is going to be very bad again tonight.

    So taking 2 small prop bets for fun :

    1. Rockets first half over 56.5
    2. 76ers under 94 pts for whole game.

    My picks for tonight. Looks like we're on the opposite end a bit tonight, Texan, but best of luck with your plays of course.

    i play on it as long as no money is involved. personal policy. what's your strategy, take guys in the 4-7k range and one 10k superstar? i like to take risk with guys like schroeder and jr smith.

    Depends on the night/how many games are going

    example-- last night I decided to take no real major superstars but above average players that I knew would produce atleast what I expected because I figured anything over 250 points would secure my win- I came in at 270 and won all of my bets.. Most of my picks were from the matchup that I thought would be the fastest paced and highest scoring game which was predicted to be GSW and Brooklyn- I had Draymond and Deron Williams which got me an easy 42 and 31 points- BOgut even chipped in 40+

    TONIGHT
    It seemed there were a ton of value plays. For example P.J. Hairston is starting for his team and at that price.. your getting alot of production back from him. Also, Boston CLeavland is expected to be the fastest and highest scoring game of the night- Rondo and Bron are no brainers there- I have to fit Davis is because he has been insane- I filled the rest in with guys I beleive will be productive- Zeller is expected to play more minutes ect..

    Had a feeling Davis was a bad play in fanduel.

    By the way, that Minnesota-New Orleans line was the most obvious play of the season. Minnesota is a pretty bad team with Rubio & Thad Young and without they're just absolutely pathetic.

    Taking 2 dogs tonight with both being b2b game teams.

    Magic +9 and jazz +11, both are playing well as of late, which is a good thing for young teams, and both coaches will want to win also.

    I did the same. Not expecting a win outright but I like getting double digit points. Also took the mavs to cover first and second quarters.
