    Shows how clueless I am about NBA. I feel like this was a productive little chat for me though.
    Nice to be of some help.

    I wouldn't call those "points", but "overall contribution", meaning, that Rose's absence doesn't affect Bulls overall performance and ability to win matches that much, if at all, this season.

    not even team chemistry? or team "winner mentality"?...after all the guy was a MVP 2 years ago.

    Unfortunately, I can't assign any decent values to psychological aspects. I base my argument only on hard data of the actual performance this season.

    Waiting on some lines still. Another side and total in a Chicago game. Obviously Rose's injury is crushing my model, not hitting well at all in Chicago games, but my model always spits them out. I have learned that Rose is a fairly important player.
    Looks like I'm adding

    Got beat pretty bad tonight. My personal NHL went bad too so it was a rough night overall, my worst of the month by quite a bit. As predicted, got beat again on Bulls side. Obviously need to pass on these games til health stabilizes things. More high total unders tomorrow. Model isn't hitting well on these situations either. Can't tell if that's just variance though since they occur under so many different scenarios.

    Got another Chicago game in there but this time taking other side. I guess Anthony Davis injury overrides Chicago's injuries

    Anthony Davis is New Orleans' best player. I'd be surprised to see them any better than last in the league in defense without him. I'd be hesitant to bet on NO at all until we see what they can do without him.

    Likely a good strategy but I'm just running this as a trial year for my model. I'll re-asses at the end of the year for what I need to filter out manually and how to adjust before I begin getting into the NBA market for real.

    Another one of those Houston unders that never seem to hit

    This Trey Burke for Utah is causing problems for my model I've noticed. He seems to influence both the spread and total but maybe it's just variance, though I doubt it. He is a legit impact player

    Busy tomorrow so taking the day off again
