    Brakon's Thursday NBA Bets (TNT night)

    There are 3 games Thursday night in the NBA and 1 game is clearly showing me an easy way to make $.

    8:00 E.T. Celtics-7.5 vs. Wizards
    moneyline: -330/ +270

    2 things about this game:

    1) Celtics have lost 1 game to below .500 teams this whole season (pacers.)
    2) According to Statfox.com, when the moneyline movement on the Wizards moves to better odds on the moneyline, the public is generally wrong on the spread as well on wizards. The money line opened at +264 and went to +268 at Matchbook.com right when the line came out. (i have been tracking matchbook.com odds on moneylines because the lines are so odd and different from other books.)

    PICK: Celtics -330 moneyline and Celitcs -7.5

    I am on this as well. I have had an especially rough week. Going heavy on the C's to pull me out of the slump.

    Theres no point in taking the Celtics ML though..You lay to much and get so little back.. and Washington isn't that bad of a team. They beat Cleveland once this season..

    Well saying the ML isn't a good pick is subjective. If you are laying 5k and are confident enough, its more than worth it.

    Not with the Celtics, they have had some bad runs this season and lost some games they were easily expected to win.. You just never know when they are going to show up or not

    Not crazy about this game, the Wizards are very inconsistent but can be tough at home. Kinda like them getting 7.5 here, but I'll probably stay away. Good luck though.

    not sure who's going to show up for the celts? how about KG that is shooting something crazy like over 70% last 8 games!

    or how about the team that has won the past 8 games, and has one of the best records in the nba? not "locking" any picks here, but celts are a much better team to count on lately. (of course they didnt cover 2 nights ago, but that was a double digit spread, gotta love C's with a low spread here)

    When the spreads look to easy, generally that tells you something is wrong. 7 points is still quite alot to lay for a tough Wizards team at home. It really can go either way, but just because Bostons been on a roll doesn't mean they aren't going to have a letdown here and there.. Just my 2 cents. Obviously Boston seems like the right play, but you just never know

    nice pick brakon, boston should roll. It seems like the Wiz only play good against the Cavs.

    dont see too much value in risking -140 on -6.......its almost a lock to me at -7.5 ....and i'd stilltake celtics at -9 or -10 on this game....

    people think 4 straight covers for wizards and 2 wins in last 4 games mean their the play tonight as +7.5........which has value in the long run...but not in the short run on this game....celtics are unstoppable vs. teams below .500 and will win at min. by 12 in my opinion....

    follow me or not......whether u think its a good pick or not...we'll see when its all finished if i'm the real deal


    good luck everyone on everyone else's bets tonight...lets take the books $$

    gnight everyone...

    won't be back on....

    later

    lakerboy...cmon....more than half the time the celtics would cover 7 in washington.....jamison shoulda been gone after he landed on his shoulder the way he did...lucky it wasnt so serious...if it was 15 points and 5 reb. would have been missing and a double digit loss for the wiz and your flashlight would have no light
