VIP Picks 1/17/25

2-0 with a plus money 2 unit play is exactly what we needed last night to dig out of the hole on the week. Now we have our hole to less than 1 unit so a winning Friday will have us back in the green going into NFL Playoffs tomorrow!


PGA:

1:31 EST

Round 2 Score

Sepp Straka Under (70.5)

  • Straka went bogey free in Round 1 where he posted a final score of 65 which has him 3 strokes off of the lead going into today. 

  • Yesterday was at La Quinta Country Club and today is at PGA West which is a more difficult course but still -3 or better seems very doable for Straka. 

  • Weather looks pleasant at 70 degrees with a slight breeze.

  • He’s gone under 71 in 8 of his 9 rounds so far this season.


NBA:

8:00 EST

Nuggets (-1.5) 🥈

  • Nikola Jokic MUST play for this to be a go. He’s listed as questionable but his actual status will be announce around 7 pm est. If he’s playing I love the Nuggets in this spot.

  • The Nuggets have won 4 of their last 5 anf all 4 of those wins have come by double digits. 

  • The Heat have lost back to back games and they are going through the drama with their star player Jimmy Butler just waiting to be traded somewhere because he’s sick of the team sucking and he knows the Heat have no chance to win this year.

  • If Jokic is in, this is a full go.


9:30 EST

Grizzlies (-2.5) 🥇

  • Ja Morant MUST play for this to be a go. He’s listed as questionable but he was at shootaround so I expect him to play.

  • The Grizzlies beat the Spurs 129-115 2 days ago so I like them again in the rematch tonight in the same building. 

  • We know all to well that Wemby only had 13 points despite taking 19 shot attempts in that game.

  • The Grizz has 14 offensive rebounds leading to easy second chance points and I expect that to be a factor again tonight.

  • Let’s take the Grizzlies to cover.
