    NBA Mentality Experiment

    Betting on every game is being a square, but this is just an experiment.

    Kings: 8 straight losses, if you don't count the Jersey game then 14 straight losses.
    Wizards: competed well with the Lakers last night but Kings are desperate
    Kings: -4.5

    Bulls: on a winning streak
    Cavaliers: too many losses, they might lose again but I think they'll battle to cover at least
    Cavs: +7.5

    Denver/Boston: Boston takes a dump and let's Denver get their 1000th win, cognratulating their coach at the end.
    But since it's the Thuggets: +7

    Raptors/Knicks: Raptors have been descent this season, I think they are descent enough to cover this game at least since being owned by the Knicks last time.
    Raptors +6.5

    Detriot/NOH: Everyone thinks +10 is easy to cover, but Hornets are pissed and have the NBA behind them.
    NOH: -10

    Pacers/Bucks: Pacers love to frustrate teams, Bucks SHOULD win but that's why the Pacers will win.
    Pacers: +1.5

    GSW/SAS: Dallas barely beat them primarily because it was a revenge game. GSW might win this SU.
    GSW: +10.5

    Memphis/Suns: Suns lost last night, Memphis had a days rest extra, Memphis has to cover right?
    Wrong: Suns -4

    Utah/Heat: Miami is on a 5 game winning streak, 5 of the best teams in the NBA according to the general public. Utah takes care of this team at home and gives them a reality check of what teams lie ahead.
    Utah +1

    Lakers/Clippers: Clippers can compete, not a lot of people think Lakers will cover a double digit spread anymore. I think Lakers come out strong and a lot more focused not to make the same mistakes they amde vs Washington.
    Lakers: -8

    I'm a soccer guy, so if this experiment goes to hell feel free to fade it.

    You're right.

    I start this thread for feedback as well. I don't bet NBA as much as other sports, but I've noticed a trend recently and thought I'd share it to get any feedback from people like you who might know more.

    I like your Pacers-Bucks analysis haha. That's a true definition of coin-flip logic.

    BOL though.

    Well, there's a little problem.

    There's usually public/non-public times on all sports... it'll happen with NBA also so it's probably not a profitable method.

    Pacers are playing great baskets, Bucks aren't. Your pick should go the other way
