Alright so Illinois allowed and 8-0 run in the final 35 seconds to lose by 1….I just don’t know how that’s possible but here we are. I couldn’t help myself but tweet and insta story out the Maple Leafs moneyline as a strong play by itself to offset the parlay L which hit. We also hit the Bedard prop in the final minute so we got some back but still down slightly on the week .35. NBA is back with a full slate so we have plenty of action to choose from. Let’s narrow in on 3 WINNERS tonight. KOOOOOFSPORTS!!!!

Parlay
Pacers ML / Celtics ML / Nuggets ML (-182) 💪 RISK 1.82 to win 1 🥇
I’m not over thinking this one and what “could” go wrong. I like the matchups for all three.
The Pacers are home and taking on the Pistons who they have gone 2-0 against so far this season with the one game at home being a 136-113 blowout.
The Celtics are the one road team in the parlay but they are facing the Bulls who they beat 124-97 in the first meeting. A focus down the stretch for the Celtics will be to play with the killer mentality that they’ve lacked in the playoffs in recent years. This is one of those games to practice that killer mentality and take care of business on the road.
The Nuggets are at home vs the Wizards and they are favored by 15 points. We are only adding their moneyline to this parlay to get the odds better than -200.
It’s a strong play so bet to win 1 unit to make up for the juice.

Suns (Even) 🥉
The Suns are slight underdogs when they visit the Mavericks tonight but let’s take them at even money.
The Mavs went into the break on a 6 game winning streak but the Suns are a better team than the opponents they faced during that stretch (yes, including the Thunder).
The Suns are a miraculous Curry game winner away from being 8-1 in their last 9 so they have been playing pretty good ball themselves.
These two played on 1/24 and the Suns won big by a final score of 132-109. They shot 60% in that game and out-rebounded the Mavs by 16!
Good value on the Suns here and is Luka even really healthy? He wasn’t even running the floor in the All Star game.

Clippers / Thunder Over (235) 🥈
These two have gone over 235 in both of their meetings this season with point totals of 245 and 249.
The Thunder have been playing some extremely high scoring games lately with an average point total of 248 over their last 5 games.
The Clippers had a couple duds before the All Star break but they also scored 130 and 149 in 2 of their recent games.
I’d expect this one to feature a lot of scoring and both teams should be able to reach 118+ for us.
