WCO's NBA Monday 1/19

Had a huge night Friday hitting the GOM on Washington and Orlando as well totaling 2-0 for +7. Couple I like for Monday:

*2 -- Minnesota Timberwolves -5 (-110) @ Los Angeles Clippers

Camby is out for the Clippers which certainly adds to this, but either way, the T-Wolves are just a 12 win team facing a 9 win team. To open the line at -3˝ for the T-Wolves ON THE ROAD caught my eye right away. Jumped up to -5 now and I feel like it's only going to climb a bit more so I got it in very early. T-Wolves shouldn't be laying 5 points to anyone on the road and I think this one looks like bait.

Totals not yet out but looking at the Suns @ Celtics total, hoping to see it open at 204 on Betjm. Back later with the rest, GL

I am tailing this play. I agree that this appears to be bait.

Lets cash this!

GL WCO, santa was good to t-wolves this year....they are 8-3 since christmas and 6-1 since new year's. Suns only good team they beat, but they have been handling mediocre teams like the Clips.

Adding these now as I don't expect the line to move in my favor:

*2 - Chicago Bulls @ New York Knicks OVER 210 (-110)

*1 - Phoenix Suns @ Boston Celtics UNDER 203˝ (-110)


I feel like that Bulls @ Knicks total is a gift to be honest and hoping it isn't too good to be true.

Still looking at the other games but like I said, I wanted to grab these as quick possible... GL

well the T-Wolves line moved like I thought, but actually ended up screwing myself out of 2 points the wrong way for each total

not adding anything else except possible halftime plays so gl everyone

celtics too smart of a team to try and get in a shootout/full-court game with the suns and i expect they'll keep it half court and keep things slower than the suns want them to

also think the suns tighten up just a bit tonight being the game is nationally televised and they're playing the defending champs. i expect the celtics to impose their style at home though like i said and could see it being a 102-92 type game.

celtics have also gone under in 10 of 13 games against the west this season, for what it's worth, and have held their last 7 or 8 western opponents under 100 (including the lakers, hornets, jazz and warriors)
