Yesterday, I chose not to even post the model results and picks. The reason is simple, yesterday was a mess. Multiple games canceled, news flying all over and it was occurring during the NFL day. I do not want to give out bad information, or something that is not accurate, so we moved on yesterday. Today, hopefully we can better assess what is going on. Already Joel Embiid has been added to the injury report, as if we do not have enough to worry about.
Covid and injuries are everywhere. Be careful out there!
Until the games start, let’s have some fun and build the pile!
NBA Model Plays
MEM -9
CHI -7
CHA +11.5
SAS +4.5
BOS -3.5 (The entire Sixers scheduled starting five is currently questionable)
GSW -13
*If two games or more reach a certain level, we will label them highest rated in model. The record at bottom will be updated to note we may have more than one top play per day from the computer model.
Basketball Odds Boosts You Should Consider Betting
Oubre and Clarkson to combine for 5+ 3 pointers +140 (DK)
Oubre is not even listed for props on most of the major sites.
Clakson is not either. I am passing. We know combined is never the best way to go for wagers. I am out.
Lonzo to records 30+ points/assists/rebounds +180 (DK)
Lonzo’s combo is set to 26.5 and the over is juiced. I would have thought Lonzo would get to this point a little more often than he does. This is probably a fair price for this boost. This game does have a total of 222.5 and since LaVine is still out and the Bulls still have a limited roster, I am going to take a shot here. It is hard to find many games in Lonzo’s past, with these exact same conditions. Nevertheless, the over on this combo being juiced, means I am willing to take a shot. I am in.
Steph to record 7+ made 3’s +130 (DK)
Steph’s prop is set to 6.5 and the under is juiced. This is taking the over on his prop that is pay +120, at a slight boost of +130. I am passing.
CHI/OKC/UTA to all win +500 (Fox)
As usual, this features a dog. OKC should never be in a bet like this. This also pays +527 on Fan Duel. Pass for me.

Let’s Get Weird
GSW/UTA/MEM/CHI/Vikings ML Parlay +179
The Bears have no secondary. I fully expect something weird like the Hornets to win in Utah.
