All wagers and returns based on $10. Please check game time lineups before wagering.
Timberwolves at BULLS 8:05 pm EST, Pistons at PELICANS 8:05 pm, Hornets at SUNS 9:05 pm, Lakers at JAZZ 10:05 pm.
3-pointers: Bulls -4 over Timberwolves AND Under 229 +260 (returns $36.00) The Bulls have been playing well and the Wolves haven't. Simple as that.
2-pointers: Suns win over Hornets and game is Over 225 +132 (returns $23.20) The Hornets have been inconsistent and are coming off a blowout loss at Utah. The Suns have been shining in the desert.
Jazz win over Lakers and game is Over 218.3 +133 (returns $23.30) This seems like tonight's sucker bet. The Lakers are without Davis and Schroder and the Jazz are pummeling everyone at home.
Free throws:
Steals: Pistons at Pelicans Over 222 -113 (returns $18.90) The Pelicans haven't played an Under 222 game since Jan. 19 at Utah. I'm playing the odds that the streak continues.
Tuesday Results
Winners:
3-pointers: James Harden (Nets) triple-double +340 (returns $44.00) Harden made me sweat out those final rebounds until the very end, but he finished with 29-11-14.
