Had thought about doing 2nd halves, but was hoping to hone up during the preseason where they were rare to find. Going to keep my 2nd half formula to work with college hoops instead where it seemed to match up better. So, gonna go with my bread & butter for the NBA ... Props. Have not played a full year of them, but am looking forward to the challenge. Looking over tonight's selections to see if there is one to start. Early props will probably just be half stakes until there is some form for most teams to base more of these on. Off to look over some stuff. Good fortune with your season and whatever you decide to do with the info I dish out.

PROP-a-PALOOZA begins tonight!

PROP #1 [10.30.12] Wizards G Bradley Beal Total Points Over 11.5 [-120]
Wall is out. Nene is out. Washington's offense has to come from some where and with Beal's talent, you would figure that he will be given a little bit of free reign until the big names/scorers come back into the lineup. Not a huge # here if he is given the minutes. He's been the starter @ SG to finish the preseason with mixed results. I think as long as he looks for his shot at least a dozen times & is aggressive offensively, he should have a shot to eclipse this.

Where do you find nba props? Bookmaker isnt offering anything...

[EaglesPhan36]

Bovada & 5Dimes both have props for all three games tonight.

[radostin.dimi]

bet365 doesn't have it

[dymd3z]

So EP, no 2h NBA plays... Your just doing CBB 2h plays?

[Pick'nParlays]

Bol EP

[EaglesPhan36]

So EP, no 2h NBA plays... Your just doing CBB 2h plays?

Yeah I think the formula I use for possessions, etc. just seem to jive much better with college hoops. That plus the FT parade to end college games vs. the who gives a fukk NBA is more predictable!

[EaglesPhan36]

PROP #2 [10.30.12] Heat-Celtics Total Three Point Shots Made Over 11 [-130]
Boston still isn't a heavy three point shooting team, but Jason Terry is in for Ray Allen and offers another jack-o-matic shooter who will put shots up. Green & Pierce are the other main threats with maybe a stray three from some others. Miami has some real potential as a three point shooting club with Allen & Miller coming off the bench + James, Wade & Chalmers all capable of adding some streaky threes. You've also got Rashard Lewis & James Jones maybe getting garbage time. I think a nice # to try the over @ tonight.

[EaglesPhan36]

Decent start for Beal with a couple threes. Six points in the 1st Q. Be interesting to see how they dole out the minutes for the rest of the half between him & Crawford or how they mix and match.

[EaglesPhan36]

Damn hope the 3s fall in Miami like they are in Cleveland. Eight in the 1st Q.

[Jutzu]

Loving that #2 prop, so i took it. BOL!

[BryanBarina]

Hope Beal sees some more minutes in the second half. Crawford is 0 for from the field. If Beal hits 24+ mins I think we'll be mine.

[vaas187]

I got 300 on kyrie Irving over 21 points.

Layed another 300 on lebron over 8 rebounds......battier is in the 4 spot which means hell rely on lebrons board. Also with bosh at centre, leveon can dominate a bit more in the post

[Jutzu]

4 3's in the first 4 minutes, looking good so far

[vaas187]

Both my props have hit already. LBJ has 7 boards in first Q

[EaglesPhan36]

Beal didn't get shit for minutes after the 1st Q. Got almost as many in the 1st as he got the rest of the game. This is why treading light early makes sense to me. Threes in good shape @ half.

[EaglesPhan36]

PROP #3 [10.30.12] Maverick G O.J. Mayo Total Points Over 15.5 [-125]
Mayo is getting a green light from the Mavs and let's face it, with the cast they have - someone on this team has to be an offensive catalyst. I'm not under any misguided notion. Mayo is likely to be a volume shooter to get his points. He should get minutes & likely will see some time running the point when Collison needs a blow, so let's see what he gets.

[EaglesPhan36]

Ugly game still needing one three just to push.

[Jutzu]

Grats on Prop #2

[EaglesPhan36]

Took a while, but whatever works. 3 pt. prop probably my favorite to play. Once we've had a handful of games to look at, that is probably a prop I will play more than anything else. Especially great when you find one team that really does it well. Last year at the end of the year it was Portland. We'll see how it works this season.

[BryanBarina]

We're gonna need Mayo to look for his shot. But he's moving the ball well, good basketball, not good for scoring! Haha. Launch up some contested 3s.

[EaglesPhan36]

Yeah he's been downright disciplined. Felt like he needed to take at least 16 shots to give this a boost. He's got a long way to get that many, but at least playing smart he'll get minutes. Need a big 3rd quarter to make it manageable going to the 4th.

[EaglesPhan36]

More shots, but not making 'em. 10 points. Really going to depend on his minutes in the 4th. Mavs as a while haven't been aggressive getting to the line for freebies which would have helped a lot for this prop too.

[EaglesPhan36]

PROP-a-PALOOZA: 1-2 [-0.72]

Disappointed that neither Beal or Mayo followed up on quick starts, but so be it. Will probably start looking again for more of the three props vs. the player props potentially tonight.

[Pick'nParlays]

Get some EP

[EaglesPhan36]

PROP #4 [10.31.12]: Pistons-Rockets Total Three Point Shots Made Over 12 [-115]
Will be interesting to see how the Rockets' pieces mesh, but they have a wealth of guys who can light it up from deep: Lin, Harden & Parsons among the expected starters plus bench pieces like Douglas, Delfino, Cook & more that should get Houston 8 or more threes it looks like most nights if they take those shots. Detroit is obviously centered on pivot play with Monroe & Drummond, but they have a solid back court with Knight & Stuckey who can both knock down the 3. Singler, Maggette & Prince all are capable of popping a three to add to the cause.

[Pick'nParlays]

How come 5
dimes doesn't have any 3 point props today

[EaglesPhan36]

Dunno. These are all Bovada lines. Waited for this to get up, sorry about the short notice but was looking at it.

PROP #5 [10.31.12] 76ers-Nuggets Total Three Point Shots Made Over 11 [-115]
I think the Sixers are going to be an improved three point club this season with the additions of Richardson, Wright & Nick Young who love to chuck it up. Nuggets won't be a major three point player, but Lawson, Iguadola & especially Gallinari all can add to the tally on any given night. Couple others like Chandler & Brewer can also chime in.

[EaglesPhan36]

Sheist. Forgot Gallinari rolled his ankle. Sixers doing work on the threes so far with four, but Nuggets might be hard pressed to add much without him. Hopefully they can add three or four and that should be enough. Be back later for a play probably on a late game.

[EaglesPhan36]

PROP #6 [10.31.12]: Suns F Michael Beasley Total Points Over 17.5 [-130]
Beasley is being given the keys to the offense to have as much freedom as he wants for the Suns from all indications. This team has a lot of talent, but a lot of new pieces also. It will be interesting to see how they blend together. Beasley should get 30+ minutes per night and so long as he takes advantage of the freedom to shoot, points should come.

[EaglesPhan36]

Nuggets-Sixers prop is gonna push. Had most of the 4th Q to get one stinkin' three to get off it and couldn't. Poor shooting. Need Rockets-Pistons to start jacking up more threes.

[EaglesPhan36]

One left to push. Two to win with a quarter to go. Let's go fukkos.
