Fats Baller

Last night, I split my four bets and lost $8.80 (see below). The going may be rough in the early weeks as teams find their footing and new lineups adjust to each other. Shame my book doesn't have over/unders on turnovers. Tonight I'm concentrating on the Wizards vs. Sixers and Knicks vs. Pacers. Returns are based on $10 bets.

Wizards at SIXERS, 7:05 pm EST, Knicks at PACERS, 7:05 pm EST

3-pointer: Ben Simmons Over .5 three-pointers made +700 (Returns $80).

2-pointers: Victor Oladipo Over 24.5 (points, rebounds, assists) -110 (returns ($19.10)

Free throw: Knicks at PACERS Under 222.5 (alternate line) -235 (Returns $14.30)

Steal: Ben Simmons Over 32.5 (points, rebounds, assists) -110 (returns ($19.10)

TUESDAY RESULTS:

Winners:

Joe Harris (Nets) Over 17.5 (points, rebounds, assists) -110 (returns $19.10). Harris had 19.

Total Warriors vs Nets Points Under 247.5 (alternate line) -480 (returns $12.10). Total was 224. (The secondary wager of Over 216.5 -480 also paid off.)

Losers:

Kevin Durant (Nets) Over 6.5 rebounds +110 (returns $21). Durant only had 5 boards in 24 minutes of action.

Lakers -3.5 AND Over 220.5 (+265) (returns $36.50). Got the over but the Lakers looked outmatched for much of the game.

$40 wagered, $31.20 returned

Day 1: -$8.80
