Snipes NBA Wednesday

Hey everyone..good day yesterday as I hit my GOM - 24 unit play on the Jazz. Seems like I keep hitting my big plays but haven't been as sharp on the smaller plays. Although I really like a couple games today.

First off I'll start with the Bucks. I always look for opportunities to bet against the Raptors since I live in Toronto and I get to see them often. The last time I bet against them was when Charlotte came to TO and blew them out. That was surely fun. Toronto still gets a lot of love from Vegas because they are indeed stacked with talent. However, this team is confused. They are a "hybrid team". What I mean by "hybrid" is that they are half full court and half, half court. This team does not have the talent to play the half court game, yet they feel that they are capable of doing so. I love picking on the Raptors, especially after they have won a huge game. Coming off a CLippers blowout, I think the Bucks take this one out right. Vegas is giving me 4 points though so I'll take that.

Toronto is a team that depends on jump shots. This is mainly why they are utter trash. 72% of their offense comes from jump shots, and on average they hit in the low 40s. I'm fine with that, keep shooting the jumpers. The funny thing is, their starting Big Man and PF are both jumpshooting bigmen. NOBODY on this team takes it inside.

Bucks are still in it for the playoff race and although it will be tough, they have something to play for. I think the Bucks come out hot and snap out of their slump today. Toronto is great in helping teams snap out of bad streaks. Richard Jefferson has been awful as of late, but Moute, Charlie Villanueva are all playing well. Sessions is going to torch Calderon, and CV31 is going to have a huge game. I won't be surprised if he's the leading scorer.

Ill stop blabbing now and won't list out obvious stats.

*10 - Bucks +4


The second game that I love is the Knicks and Clippers over. Knicks have been struggling as of late but seemed to have found some offense against Orlando. Not to mention, it isn't hard scoring on the Clippers. My main concern is that the Clippers might be tired since they are in the middle of a road trip and won't be able to put up 100+. However, this is the Knicks we are talking about. I think Knicks can easily put up 120 themselves and the Clippers can put up in the low 100s. OR if I'm lucky it'll be a close game and both teams will hit the 120 mark like the last time they faced each other.


*10 Clippers @ Knicks Over 216


The Utah Jazz are coming off a big win yesterday at home against the Rockets. They have proven they can beat the best of teams at home. They have beaten Boston, Lakers, Rockets just to name a few. As well as beating Phoenix up pretty bad. Although the Jazz might be a little gassed, I think they take out Phoenix tonight. Phoenix has been playing great as of late but that's due to their role players such as Dudley and Grant Hill. The starters haven't been playing the greatest basketball. I like the matchups and I really like the Jazz to win this game outright.

Deron vs Nash - Advantage Deron
Richardson vs Brewer - Brewer is a great man defender and when Korver comes out he will make Jrich run around trying to catch him.
Boozer vs Barnes? Are you kidding me? And then what happens when Milsap comes in?
OKur vs Shaq - Yes Shaq can over power him Okur on offense, but he'll have to come out to guard Mehmet on Defense. Shaq outside of the paint is useless on defense IMO.

The only advantage I see Phoenix having is their bench play. They will probably outplay the Utah bench.

Big game for Utah and a big game for Phoenix. Should be a fun one, but I just think Utah takes this and snaps out of their road funk.

*10 Units Utah Jazz - +3.5



Parlay for *3 units:

Utah +3.5
Bucks +4
Clippers/Knicks Over 216.5


Bol everyone

Love the Bucks ML. Toronto has no hopes of playoffs, they're playing with nothing, Bucks still have a shot, and are playing hard. I'm from Toronto area too, and hate to say it, but they are complete garbage. With you on this one, Good luck!

Well, got destroyed on that Toronto play. Sorry to anyone who tailed, hopefully you laid money on the 2nd half like me. Salvaged that terrible play with the 2nd half.

Luckily the Knicks/Clippers over came through All comes down to Utah
