TNT Thursday Night Total with a Side!


Yesterday's Recap
Rough Day Yesterday as i took a beat down dropping a goose egg. Both the Wizards and the Grizzlies could of easily won those games, but hey thats basketball! Hoping to dominate this TNT doubleheader tonight with a couple of nice winners.
Since Nov. 2 (fresh start)- NBA 5-5, NFL 1-0, Overall 6-5

 Chicago Bulls @ Cleveland Cavaliers- Under 191.5 Win

Im usually not a big totals guy in the NBA, but i really liked this one for a bunch of reasons. First off the Bulls dont score many points off of anyone let alone the Cavs. In their four games this season, the bulls have gone under 3 times and those scores combined have been 164, 182, and 177. Which are very low, so its not just the bulls dont score but they play some great defense. The bulls have yet to score over 100 points in a game, and have only given up over 100 once. The Cavs have played all of their games under the total, and they have only given up 100 points once this season. So i look for the bulls to be in the mid 70's to the low 80's. Combine everything with the fact its a TNT game, and people love betting overs (the line moved 3 pts). The Cavaliers will play great D, slow it down, and keep it under. Under 191.5, 2.5 Units

San Antonio Spurs @ Utah Jazz (+1) LOSS

I love slight favorites, especially when one is a much better team than the other. The spurs have a lot of veterans, and know how to win on the road. The Spurs have also covered 4 straight games against the Jazz, and they might be the deepest team in the NBA this year. They are also well rest with 4 days off, which can be bad, but not when you have some vets (1-0 ats this year with 3 days or more rest). They are also 4-1 ats in their last 5 vs a losing team, and 21-7 in their last 28 as a favorite. The Jazz just lost at home by 17 to the Rockets, and i promise you the Spurs are a much better team. They are 1-3 ats on the year, and have only covered 5 of their last 23 as a underdog. I see Tim Duncan owning the glass, and Tony Parker containing Deron Williams. This Spurs team is too deep. Spurs -1, 2 Units.

As Always... Good Luck and Good Night!
