    I think Doncic missing FT will have him motivated, so....
    - Luka over 27.5, 3.5 3s, and 9.5 rebounds.

    Best bet of the day is going to be Luka Over 27.5 -125. Going all the way back to when he first made his playoff appearance. Whenever he had a terrible game and scored 20 or less points AND lost the game. He always bounces back STRONG. There have been 4 occasions his entire career where this has happened and the following games he scored 43, 42, 42, and recently 29 game 2 OKC. Averaging 39 ppg. This upside player spot reminds me so much of the recent one I discovered with Anthony Edwards whenever the twolves lose by 20 plus he comes back the next game averaging around 35 ppg with his two three recent games dropping 40 plus. Which lead me to sprinkle on his 40+ points prop for +500. Today I am hammering Luka Over 27.5 and sprinkling on the 35+ and 40+ points.

    Boston just isn't as good as their record shows and most of the league is weak, otherwise they are nothing special. I don't believe it when some people say Boston can turn it on when they want. They shoot way too many 3s, and so many times go 1-1 while the rest of the players just stand there and watch. Then there is nobody near the basket to rebound. Love to see them get knocked out of the playoffs.

    This guy is on one hell of a losing streak. Be aware. Mostly losing by double digits.

      Knicks last night? He smoked that pick by double digits too. Id double back on that math

      Nobody’s perfect bro! Cold streaks happen, it’s about long term consistency which he clearly has.

      I agree with you on the cold steak comment 100%. I’m just stating the obvious here, hope it improves. Not much confidence though when the play released for today has no series data backing it and is essentially unplayable.

    With all do respect, why would someone ever pay for picks when nothing is guaranteed? Do you go to the store and buy something hoping it's gonna be good or because you know it is. And at such a high price...$7 a day for your picks is crazy when they might not hit. If I'm ever gonna pay it's gonna be for somebody who never looses, because doesn't that make sense?

      Paying someone that has a winning track record over years and years in sports betting makes sense. Finding someone who never "loses" (not "looses") is an impossibility. I never want to hear a f***ing idiot such as yourself discussing what does and doesn't make sense ever again.

      highest NBA hit rate amongst cappers right now, if you buy picks thinking not one will lose, you’re in the wrong space and should get out while you can!

      Even if the picks don’t cash, he send you other picks for free thats a guarantee & will cash. Stop being cheap!
