Well 1-1 and missed one by half a point kind of sucked because that game was on track to go way over at half time. Still 3-1 on the week going into Wednesday so let’s build on it.

Pacers ML / Mavericks ML (-123) 🥈
The Pacers will host the Magic tonight and they lost 119-115 the last time they played them but Paolo Banchero had 50 points in that game. He’s injured and out and so is Wendell Carter Jr.
The Magic have had a tough stretch since Banchero went out with 3 losses in a row with those losses coming by 11, 23, & 16.
The Pacers have beat the two teams who were in the Finals within the last week beating the Celtics and Mavericks. I like the Pacers to get the win tonight.
The Mavs are home and hosting the Bulls who have lost 3 of their last 5 and the defense has allowed 135 and 120 in their last 2 games.
The Bulls are banged up with key pieces Lonzo Ball out and Zach LaVine questionable. They’ve also got a few others who are banged up.
The Mavs will have their big three going tonight and they should have the upper hand vs the banged up Bulls.

Player Prop
Jayson Tatum Over (30.5) 🥇
Tonight will be Tatum’s first game against the Warriors and Head Coach Steve Kerr since he played mind games with him by not playing him in the Olympics. If you didn’t follow along it was pretty pathetic and so disrespectful with the way Kerr treated him.
Tatum has started the season with a chip on his shoulder and leads the league in first quarter scoring at 13.3 ppg.
Tatum’s co partner in crime Jaylen Brown is out for this game tonight so that should be even more opportunity for Tatum to go off.
He had like 25 in the first half the other night but then tapered off because it was a blowout. Although the Celtics EMBARRASSED the Warriors 140-88 the last time they came to the Garden, I don’t expect a blowout tonight. Warriors are 6-1 and Celtics are 7-1. Tatum should play the full game and he might drop 50. His highest adjusted line is available at 45+ for +950 on Draftkings.
