    Jazz are way, way better than the Pistons. If anything, Lakers homers will come out of the woodwork and bet their team to deflate Friday's line, giving the Jazz even more value.

    That order looks correct.

    Rookie Q. Lets say the Warriors are -280. Place 280 to win 100, got it.
    Lets say the Rockets are also -280. Same deal, place 280 to win 100.

    But if one parlays that, betting the same 280 on each game as a parlay how much does one win?

    Talking Friday here. For now strictly on this one game, Lakers at Jazz what do you 2 now think? I'm not liking the Jazz as a lock with the recent skitzy play by the Lakers. Thoughts?
    Lakers b2b w/o Bron on the road are meat. All's they've done is move the spread in your favor.

    Ok Spurtacular, where do you place it with the other 3 near sure wins playing straight up for the win, no points spread?
    I wanna follow your advice and just parlay 2 total. Or is this one of those rare days where a 3 parlay is also rock solid?

    1. Warriors host Bulls
    2. Houston hosting Cleveland
    3. Philly hosting ATL

    Lakers at Utah?

    Above Philly/Houston for ML. If we're talking spreads, it could be the biggest blowout of the four.

    With Spread
    Bucks
    Pacers
    Wolves
    Bonus
    Nets cover but lose with caveat of me possibly being blinded by hatred of nephew

    Hou/Cle should be biggest blowout though. Bulls could play for three quarters or be blown out from the start. Lakers have a chance at making a game of it; but I don't expect it so much.

    Without knowing which teams will be on the 2nd half of a back to back, I would set the lines as follows:

    Philly -13.5
    Milwaukee -6
    Indiana -5 (The real line may be a couple points lower than this, in which case the Pacers are a good play)
    Toronto -7 (will be higher if Raps are healthy, Nets are hard to blow out so they are a team with value)
    Houston -12.5
    Minnesota -4
    Jazz (-5.5 if hosting LAC, -11.5 if hosting LAL)
    Portland -7
    Warriors -16
    Pretty close on these. The Raptors are indeed healthy sans JV so the spread is a couple points higher than it would have been several days ago. I like the Nets at +9.5.

    Lakers drilling an awful harpie team in Detroit artificially lowered their spread vs. Utah. -8.5 is great value.

    The one spread I was way off on was Indiana. Was hoping for a smaller line to take the Pacers (Knicks first game back from a brutal road trip) but 8.5 is a lot for a borderline top 10 team to cover on the road. I wouldn't bet this NY team under any cir stances though.

    Straight up you like Philly and Hou to be more of a lock then GS vs Bulls?

    why high on Bucks covering? Don't they suck on road / Wizards are actually decent at home?

    That last Wiz win over the 6ers may have been impressive, but the Bucks beating a decently hot Rockets team is equally impressive, the Spreads only 3 and I see the Bucks winning this outright. Also the Bucks have the same number of losses on the road as the Wiz do at home.

    Nets at +9.5.

    Utah. -8.5 is great value.
    Are you feeling "locky" on these two or would you characterize it more like, solid value but wouldn't go as far as "Locks"?

    Utah dropped to -8 due to dumb t-shirt Laker fans wasting their parents money. Nothing is a lock in betting, but I am as confident in this as any bet all year.

    Nets are not a lock but definitely a recommended play.

    Houston been playing much better than GS of late. But the Bulls are ultimately too ty. I'd have to say GS is better; but the odds are longer I'm sure.

    GS -1600
    Hou -1300

    So, betting $100 for $14.42? You should get it; but it's not that worth it, tbh.

    Picking Utah was easy as . Props to Toronto - I did not expect them to dominate, but they did.

    Got it, muchos gracias.

    Next night Jazz vs Bulls. What-the- -was-that?
    Utah throwing the spread? Bolt out to a 10 point 1st qtr lead. I picked the 1st half too so thought this is great.
    2nd qtr the Bulls outscore them by 12.
    Covering the spread (-11) at 105-92 with only 2 minutes to go they go on to have three turnovers in a row. Including a *lost ball out of bounds* and a *travelling*. Plus foul the Bulls twice for FTs. Jazz players in on the bet?

    Switching to college. Virginia has been gold.
