NBA
This is a joint play in collaboration with my good buddy RealDealAu, we've put our heads together to come up with this play early before the line gets smashed.
Toronto @ Houston
Rockets -4.5 (-108 Pinnacle) 3x
*also available at Centrebet, Luxbet, William Hill, 188Bet
Boys this line won't last, will be -5.5 by game time tommorow. Lock it in now.
Big psychological angle in this one. With the tragic passing of coach McHale's 23 year old daughter I expect this young Rockets team to be fired up and absolutely full of intensity, Mchale is very well liked and commands serious respect from his organization, with the players voicing their support of the coach through social media. If anything I am worried they will over-play their hand so to speak and could lead to unnecassary turnover's. Regardless how are the Raptors going to match their intensity? Because Lowry is returning to Houston? please... People saying a fired up Lowry will be the best player on the court, um have you been watching James Harden this season? Arguably the second best off guard in the NBA and surely a top 10 player these days. There's hardly a player in the league who can guard him at the moment and there sure as hell isn't one on the Raptors list. As some of you may know by now I am very big on momentum and well the Rockets are hot and the Raptors are not simple. A solid home win over the Bulls followed by a slaughtering of the NBA's current hype team in the Knicks, compared to 4 losses in a row against Philly, Charlotte, Detroit and SA. Yes the raptors Have been very competitive and have been great ATS recently (4-1 last 5)
although Houston have been rather good at home and are also 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games. Bargnani is not the same player he was last year when he carried the team, and they do have a great 1-2 pairing in Lowry and Derozan, however Rockets also have a pretty impressive 1-2 pairing and do you think there isn't massive pressure on Lin to perform? Especially today with Lowry coming to town. Lin has shown so far through the aftermath of "Linsanity" that he can handle pressure and I expect him to lift today, but it is in the bigs where I expect Houston to dominate, in particular Asik and the impressive young Patterson. Would not be surprised to see another blow out tonight.
Houston's record is not very impressive at 6-7 but to put it into context they have faced the toughest draw in the NBA so far this year, with their 7 losses coming against Memphis, Denver, Portland x2, Miami, Lakers and Utah.
Minnesota @ Sacramento
Kings -1.5 (-103 Pinnacle) 1.5x
Kings playing great basketball last three games. Crushed the Lakers at home by 16 before heading on the road and dominating the Jazz in Utah (how many teams do that?) for three quarters, eventually going down by 2 points. The home and home series moved to Sacramento the next day where the Kings did what they should have done in Utah and after putting the game away in the third, held on to run out comfortable 11 point winners. This young Kings list is actually a nice list with two stars in Cousins and Evans, three legit guys in Thompson, Brooks and Thornton, a crafty vet in Salmons, a (potentially) pure shooter in Fredette and a hard working honest "big" in Chuck Hayes. Evans has recently started playing again like the rookie that took the NBA by storm only a couple of years ago. No surprise that the Kings recent three game surge comes on the back of 4 oustanding games in a row now from Evans and if he maintains that form against the Wolves then I fail to see anyone on this Wolves team who can guard him effectively.
NBA Total of the day

Houston will be lucky to win little lone give a start.Comment -
love it. rockets have been hot in their last fewComment -
why does it matter where your from ? and how would that determine your ability to cap a basketball game? doesnt matter where your from if you love the game then you love the game.
Doin good work sando , all you try and do is win people money and yet there are still morons on here bitching and moaning, any quick thoughts on ur rockets pick, was sorta leaning on the points with the raps but for no inparticular reason other then a gut feeling.Comment -
You americans tailing an aussie makes me puke..grow some fukkin balls and post your own picks and sharpen the fukk up..it's your game u friggin clownsComment -
Mate my dad is American, I lived in NY for 2 years, played JV ball at New Rochelle h/s, actually played ball my whole life, and watched the NBA every year since '92 (I'm 33), been betting on sports for 15 years and the NBA for over 5. Can give you the starting 5 of any team in the NBA off the top of my head. It doesn't come naturally, got to put in the work, most nights fall asleep with my IPad in my hands while reading up, surprised I haven't broken it yet...
Have accounts at IAS & Centrebet but do all my NBA wagers at Pinny, Sportingbet, Bet365 and Luxbet.Comment -
How good do you feel about this play?Comment -
I like Houston here. They're fully rested, and dismantled the Knicks on Friday. Only loses at home have come against the NBA's elite teams. And Toronto is coming off a double-overtime loss to the Spurs.Comment -
Well your hard work is paying off sando..very good tips..just wondering if u could nominate a best bet for the day out of your picks.
Comment -
Not really my style mate, I guess the pick with the highest unit price would be the "best bet" but to be honest I don't feel like I have a handle on the season yet, feels like so much has changed since last year, which is why my unit range is 1-5 and yet we haven't had any picks over 3 units yet (and only 2 of those). The plan is to work my way into the season and learn and adapt to trends, etc, etc and then after the A/S break, that's when I plan on doing damage, in the second half of the season.Comment -
I've shot u a message so all's good now..best of luck with your picks .Comment -
Missed it. Still worth a play at -5?Comment -
buy the hook for 10 cents...well worth it.Comment -
Heard sando is going tout..
Comment -
Daimoshokage maybe you should give credit where credits due..sando is blitzing anyone here for pick consistancy..not many of his picks don't salute and worse u generally do is break even on the day..sandos a good person and even i've woken up to myself..so maybe u should to..better if u have nothing nice to say,say nothing at all.A great life policy.And yes i'm taking my own advice from now on.Comment -
Keep this shit up! Like seeing success for once...Comment -

Just FYI:
Marcus Thornton left Monday's practice with a strained right quad, and he will be re-evaluated on Tuesday.Comment -
been reading your most recent picks. I like how you explain them and so far decent picks. Going with you on rockets and kings tonight. I was going to bet rockets anyway but figure might as well try out both your picks thxand gl!!Comment -
Been lurking here for awhile and appreciate the picks. Rockets line went up to -5.5. Still go for it, buy a point, or avoid it?Comment -
I bought a point...1.796...
I live in toronto, and I know they are gonna lose hahahaha. Raptor has this special ability to blow out in 4Q no matter how big the lead is lol.Comment -
interesting picks. toss ups. kind of like the raptors myself as I believe Kyle Lowry will be the best player on the floor tonightCause Sleep is the Cousin of DeathComment -
Kings down to -1Comment -
Hey sando....have you had a chance to look at any of the mma coming up? Ben Henderson is around -155 and I wish I could have gotten him at -140. Even though I want Diaz to win....unfortunately not when I have money on the other guyComment -
Actually I really like Hendo in this position, think Diaz is a tad over-rated and Hendo is an absolute beast at 155. Obviously he will have to be wary of Diaz sick BJJ but Hendo is proficient enough in BJJ himself to
avoid getting caught in stupid positions. If Diaz thinks he can stand with Hendo he will be in trouble, not like Ben is going to stand and box with him. Odds are wrong in my opinion, you seem to constantly be able find massive discrepancies in boxing/MMA odds. Will probably be going big on this fight but need to watch a few videos first.Comment -
kings are at a pk is this still a play even with the line move?Comment
