SK, tomorrow night the Celtics travel to Chicago. I was with you on the Celtics Sunday afternoon, but having watched that game I will be betting the Bulls on Thursday night. What do you think the spread will be?

Bulls -6.5? That's where I would put it if I wanted to make it a tough line to bet on.
The Bulls -3.5 opener in Boston was a slanted line, so I wouldn't want to overestimate the line here. I think anything steeper than 7.5, and Boston would be a clear play to me. Even if it was Bulls -5, I would have a hard time pulling the trigger on Chicago as this game will be another close one.
The Warriors were always going to come out swinging early tonight, but even without Aldridge, they will have a hard time beating the Blazers. At more than 3 to 1, the value on Portland is enormous. GS should NOT have been a -6 fave in this game.

I agree. And even with no Aldridge their bench has the upper hand. Just got them back to a one possession game.
1/15: 1-2 (+4.23u) YTD: 60-56-2 (+45.22u)
That worked out beautifully, although even if they had lost this game, I would still have considered it a very strong wager.
The value is on the Nets & Celtics in the earlier games.
I like the Blazers a lot, if I can get +3.5

Looks like +3 ain't happening... I should have taken the +122 when it was available.

Clipps usually are pounded late. I'll wait a little.

Yea I was wondering the same thing. I can't see the Blazers being very competitive without him, being on the second night of a back-to-back, and playing a great Clippers team.

He was out last night too, and that worked out just fine. A star player being out is NOT a reason to automatically fade a team that's carrying a lot of talent on their roster. Portland is not a one man show.
And the Blazers are TOUGH at home, and coming off a SU win on the road as a dog and still not getting respect tonight, getting +2... Great spot for the Blazers to carry forward the strong performance they had last night.

As usual late money on the Clippers even though they have nothing to show for. I'm worried about the +7 I snatched live.

It's not all on the Blazers. For sure, they got tired, but the Clippers are great down the stretch at making clutch shots. I do think this game will come back to haunt them at the end of the year as they're fighting for playoff position.

I updated all my records and apparently I messed up the math in the running tally in the thread somewhere. The corrected record/units should be:
YTD: 60-58-2 (+38.44u) ATS: 37-27-2 (+23.98u), W% = 57.8% @ average odds of -107 ML: 19-22-0 (+22.75u), W% = 46.3% @ average odds of +150
Other: 4-9-0 (-8.29u), W% = 30.9% @ average odds of -106
Another crappy Saturday NBA card today. Nothing interesting... However, even though I'm not a huge NCAAB guy, I really like Murray State. The line is a huge red flag, IMO.
Murray State -1 (-105) x3
