Dan Druff's 2024-25 NBA Picks

[Dan Druff]

New Orleans -6.5 at Portland

[Dan Druff]

Indiana +6.5 -107 vs Boston

[Dan Druff]

Won Indiana outright

Today:

Utah vs San Antonio - Under 220 -110
Clippers vs Phoenix - Under 221 -115

[Dan Druff]

Pride Night in Denver

I'm going the other way with Miami +120

[Dan Druff]

Phoenix -5.5 -110 at Utah

[Dan Druff]

Orlando vs Indiana - Under 224.5 -110

[Dan Druff]

Won last 2, but lost Miami

Today:

Dallas at Utah - Under 231 -105 (Bovada, 230.5 ok elsewhere)

[Dan Druff]

Won again... barely.

Tonight:

I feel like a fucking ploppy here, but hear me out.

The Hawks played a great game on the road on Tuesday, beating Boston. The Wizards are.... really really bad. They've lost by 13+ every game except two -- a 9-point loss to the awful Spurs, and.... two wins over the Hawks!

This has "bounceback" energy if I've ever seen it. Horrible team on the road versus mediocre team, where horrible team has its only two wins against the mediocre team.

The ploppies actually like the Wizards more than you think, as it's tempting to get +9 against a team which is under .500, and which lost both of its previous games against that opponent.

This will be a blowout.

Atlanta -9 -115 vs Washington

[Dan Druff]

Won again.

Tonight:

Being a ploppy worked with Atlanta.

Let's try it again.

Devin Vassell, still recovering from his right foot injury, is OUT tonight, after playing yesterday. They don't want him in back to back games at this point.

More importantly, Victor Wembanyama is OUT as well.

Not a big fan of betting major injury games, but with these two out, the Spurs should get crushed in Dallas. Mavs should be at full strength aside from Naji Marshall, who is questionable due to being sick.

Dallas -12.5 -105 vs San Antonio

[Dan Druff]

Won again yesterday.

Today:

OKC -7.5 -105 vs Dallas (BOL)

Charlotte +10 -110 at Cleveland (Bovada)


Notes:

Charlotte starts at 3:10pm PT, so hurry. Cleveland has won by more than 10 points in just 2 of their last 8, despite their 14-0 record

Doncic is OUT, and Dallas is on the road after playing yesterday.

The Suns, of the 4 game losing streak, is facing the Knicks in Phoenix.

This will be the night they win. Don't be scared by the streak, and don't be worried that the Knicks have won 3 straight.

Phoenix +165 vs New York (+4.5 ok)

[terapinedtheskeptic]

More Cleveland picks either for or against
I'm a big NBA fan in that I pay attention individual player stats on my 2 Yahoo fantasy teams in pay leagues every day.
As too teams
This early in the long NBA season, just following one team. Cleveland due to their incredible start
I've only watch one NBA game this year so far. Cleveland vs Boston. Even though Cleveland lost, still following them due to the big surprise team of the season

[Dan Druff]

Lost the Phoenix one badly.

Today:

Doubling up Detroit:

Detroit -2 -110 at Charlotte
Detroit/Charlotte - Over 222 -110

[Dan Druff]

Won over, lost spread in OT

Today:

This is based upon the Sixers being a favorite last time, and still losing OUTRIGHT.

Brooklyn +130 vs Philadelphia

Embiid, Lowry, Geroge OUT

[Dan Druff]

Lost yesterday.

San Antonio vs Golden State - Over 229.5 -105 (Bovada)

[kewlJ]

Lost yesterday.

San Antonio vs Golden State - Over 229.5 -105 (Bovada)

You (and those of us that tagged along) are gonna need 3-4 overtimes to hit this one. the good news is that if you miss it by 40-50 points, it only counts as one loss.

[Dan Druff]

Knicks at Dallas - Under 232 -110

[Dan Druff]

Major fuck job on that under. 98 after 1H, and 82 points came in the 4th (!!) in a non-close game to screw me.

-----------------------------------


So far batting .000 on NBA moneylines, but....

Detroit +170 at Indiana

[Dan Druff]

Won Detroit easily.

Tonight:

Minnesota -4.5 -102 at Clippers
