Pacers ML / Celtics ML / Memphis ML (Even) 🥇

  • The Pacers have won 3 of 4 and 2 against the 2 teams in the finals last year. They should be able to take advantage of the lack of defense that the Hornets play allowing 116.9 ppg. The Hornets have lost 3 of 4 and only beat the Pistons by 1.

  • Celtics lost to the Warriors Wednesday but will bounce back in a big way against the Nets tonight. Boston went 11-1 at home on Friday nights last season and the 1 loss was a 2 point loss to Denver. Blowout in Beantown tonight.

  • Then we flip over to Friday Night College Football with 7-2 Memphis hosting 3-6 Rice. Rice knocked off Navy last week but they will likely come back to reality vs Memphis tonight. The Memphis offense is far more consisten and explosive than the Rice offense and Memphis is +9 in turnover ratio vs -8 for Rice so look for turnovers to be a factor in this game tonight. Pretty sure Memphis will have the live tiger roaming the sidelines so no way they lose tonight.

Team Total

North Carolina Over (76.5) 🥈

  • I’ll dip my toes into College Hoops with the 1 vs 9 matchup on ESPN2 tonight.

  • UNC has key guys back like senior RJ Davis, Elliot Cadeau, Seth Trimble, Jay’lyn Withers, and Jalen Washington. These guys were part of the team that lost by 2 in the Sweet 16 last year and lost in the National Championship to the Kansas team they are playing tonight a couple years ago.

  • UNC dropped 90 points in their season opener and tonight will be stiffer competition but both these teams have high efficiency offenses and I expect a fast pace game since it’s early in the season. I might not touch this (I probably still would) in a Final Four or National Championship game but early season should result in both teams playing more loosely and be on the higher scoring side. I like the combined over but I feel there’s better value at getting UNC at 76.5.
