Dan Druff's 2021-2022 NBA picks

[Dan Druff]

San Antonio vs. Orlando - Under 212


My first NBA bet of the season.

[Dan Druff]

Indiana -2 at Washington

Beal just announced out a short time ago

Starting in a few

[Dan Druff]

Lost a close one in OT. 0-2 start to the season.

Ploppy time

Minnesota -7.5 vs. New Orleans

[Dan Druff]

Wow, lost by 0.5 at the last second due to a 3-point foul.

Starting in a few:

Indiana +105 vs. Milwaukee

Holiday OUT, LaVert OUT, Lopez OUT

+2 ok

[Dan Druff]

0-4 now. Ouch.

At the risk of going 0-5 to start the season....

New Orleans +190 vs. Atlanta

[Dan Druff]

Ugh... so close. A bad non-foul call with 8.5 left with NO down 100-99 doomed them.

Today:

Houston +9.5 vs. Utah

[Dan Druff]

Another loss. Historically bad start for me.

Today:

Toronto vs Orlando - Under 206.5
New Orleans +105 vs. Sacramento

[Dan Druff]

Would you tail an 0-8 NBA handicapper?

You would?

Then this pick is for you.

Boston vs. Chicago - Under 215.5

I took the weekend off to adjust things.

[Dan Druff]

Somehow I'm 0-9 despite having 3 unders in those picks, even with unders doing well for everyone else this year.

Here are two picks on the same game, coming up in a little more than an hour:

Clippers at Minnesota - Under 212.5
Clippers -2.5 at Minnesota

Kawhi/Preston/Ibaka/Morris OUT for Clippers, Russell OUT for Minnesota

[Dan Druff]

[Dan Druff]

Finally won a game. Took 11 picks, but I did it. LOL

Thanks, Clippers.

Now 1-10 for the year. Obviosuly not something to be proud of.


Was waiting for the status all day about questionable Brogdon and Lamb in the Pacers/Blazers game.

Finally, some clarity. Both are out.

Portland -5.5 vs Indiana

[Dan Druff]

Lost that game above.

Indiana had a nice lead and blew it, only winning by 4.

First NBA pick in awhile:

Clippers vs. Minnesota - Under 220.5

Kawhi/Ibaka/Morris/Preston OUT

[Dan Druff]

Lost again. My worst run ever, now 1-12.

OKC isn't as bad as you think. They won 4 in a row, beating the Lakers, Spurs, Pelicans, and Kings, before finally getting blown out by the Nets last time.

Miami is missing 3 key players.

OKC +220 vs. Miami

MIA: Adebayo/Butler/Odapiyo/Morris OUT
OKC: Bazley/Favors/Muscala OUT

[Dan Druff]

Lost again. Should have bet first half, though that tied anyway. Next time in a dog game with a bad team I'm backing, I'm doing 1H.

Last minute total bets:

Miami vs. Washington - Under 207 (206.5 ok)
Golden State vs. Cleveland - Over 208.5

[Dan Druff]

Lost both on the 18th. Took a week break to regroup.

Jumping back in:

OKC +165 vs Washington -- FIRST HALF ONLY
New Orleans at Utah - Over 218.5
San Antonio vs. Boston - Under 213.5

[Dan Druff]

Went 1-2 above. Really annoying with that OKC pick. They were up 6 with 1:28 left in 1H, and ended up giving 8 straight to lose the half by two. Should've won it.

Zach LaVine was sick today... and suddenly he's not sick, and he's playing.

Upon the announcement of his suiting up, the totals line jumped 1.5 points.

I'm going to take those 1.5 points and fire the under. LaVine probably won't be 100%, and in fact some are surprised he suited up at all.

Chicago vs. Charlotte - Under 224.5

[Dan Druff]

Lost that under. This is a mind-bogglingly bad start.

Against my better judgment:

Houston at OKC - Over 216.5
Dallas at New Orleans - Over 216

[Dan Druff]

Finally a 2-0 day a week ago.

Tonight:

I hate to lay so many points with the Suckramento Kings, but it is the Magic on the road...

Sacramento -7.5 vs. Orlando

[Dan Druff]

Won again, though a little drama at the end.

Last minute:

Atlanta at Brookyln - Over 227.5

[Dan Druff]

Terrible luck... 180 points after 3Q, still lose.

Today:

New Orleans +110 at San Antonio (+2 ok)

Williamson still out
