    Celtics seem to be going pretty well. I'm worried about the Wizards and Lakers. They are both playing on the road. The Jazz are a better team then the Wizards, and the Wizards are playing their 4th game in 5 nights. Ellis is back with the Warriors. Many concerns...

    I had my 4 teamer blown up this weekend when Clippers lost by 700 to the Spurs. I had them at +22.5 and figured that'd be good to go. it didn't work out so well.

    Somebody who's very respected here and is on a hot streak lately even took the Wizards ml, meaning he thinks the Wizards have a shot at winning outright. I didn't like that play and stayed away from it but we all know this is the NBA, where fukking amazing happens. If somebody here told you that the Jazz, who just got back from a 4 game road trip and playing their 5th game in 7 days and playing a b2b at that will hand the Wizards a 23 point ass whooping, will you lay a coin on it?

    I think college basketball teasers are easy (relatively easy, as nothing in betting is easy) if you are smart about them, and the NBA isn't as easy but winnable. Just follow some basic rules, one of them being don't tease bad teams because they can't be trusted. The Clippers against the Spurs was a tough spot because LAC is bad, they were on the road, they were in the midst of an eternally long road trip, and they were playing a team that has KILLED them for the last decade. The Clips have almost always lost to the Spurs by 20 or 30 in the past 5 years. I don't know why that is, but they fall behind by double digits in the first quarter and tank the rest of the game (I believe the Spurs have had an average lead over 16+ points after the first quarter during this span--it is some outrageous number that stunned me a little).

    All that said, the NBA is still tougher to tease than college. I do 3 team teasers (@ -120) in college all the time and hit a ton more than I miss, but the NBA is not as easy. Too many possessions (fast pace in a 48 minute game) lead to larger spreads, often times teams don't care, and even the bad teams have good players. You need to pick your spots in the NBA very carefully, but you can be successful.
