Fats Baller's NBA Xmas picks lean heavily on Kyrie and the Nets vs Celtics, and a sprinkling of Curry vs Bucks

Warriors at BUCKS 2:40 pm EST, Nets at CELTICS 5:10 pm EST.

Fats Baller

No real long-shot plays in the mid-day games and still too early to start picking point spreads, so a quartet of $10 player props, leaning heavily on the Nets in a very early statement game for Kyrie, KD and company:

Warriors at BUCKS 2:40 pm EST, Nets at CELTICS 5:10 pm EST.

3-pointer: DeAndre Jordan Over 8.5 rebounds +100 (returns $20)

2-pointers: Joe Harris Over 16.5 (points, rebounds, assists) -114 (returns $18.80)

Free throw: Steph Curry Over 37.5 (points, rebounds, assists) -107 (returns $19.40)

Steal: Kyrie Irving Over 33.5 (points, rebounds, assists) -117 (returns $18.60)

TUESDAY RESULTS:

Winners:

Victor Oladipo Over 24.5 (points, rebounds, assists) -110 (returns ($19.10). Oladipo combined for 30, thanks to a 17-point first half.

Losers:

Ben Simmons Over .5 three-pointers made +700 (Returns $80). Every year we hear how much Big Ben has improved his outside shot. Not only didn't he make a three, he didn't take a three. Grrr....

Knicks at PACERS Under 222.5 (alternate line) -235 (Returns $14.30). 68 points in the first quarter was a crusher. The rest of the game was an easy Under.

Ben Simmons Over 32.5 (points, rebounds, assists) -110 (returns ($19.10). Got robbed on my steal of the night as Simmons combined for 32.

$40 wagered, $19.10 returned.

Day 2: -$20.90

Total: -$29.70 (8 wagers)
