NBA Daily Dose: Friday, 3/10

The Sixers, some rematches, and can we ever trust the Lakers?

It’s a weird Friday with only six games on the slate. I took two sides this morning and wrote up my thoughts on the over in the Sixers game here at RotoBaller if you want to read it there, it will save me some time explaining my logic later on.

I’m off the Cavs and it’s probably a good thing as Darius Garland could sit out tonight. Cleveland has moved from -2 to +2 as a result and if we get word that he’s in, then they’re very much live dogs as they just beat Miami on Wednesday. But for now, I am staying away.

The Lakers have moved from favorites to underdogs, too, but I am sticking with them at home (for better or worse).

DFS is UGLY, but I feel like I have been saying that a lot lately. I have some thoughts on the slate and a lineup anyway because I simply won’t take a day off!


Happy Legalized Gambling, Massachusetts

I’m not sure what books are legal there…or anywhere, frankly. But if you live in MA (or anywhere else) and want to sign up with a book, here are some links for you that are attached to my accounts (a referral bonus is always nice!)

UNIBET - use code 742822

DraftKings

FanDuel

BetMGM

I’m on Caesar’s and now BetRivers, too, but I couldn’t figure out how to get you those links.

If you ever want any advice on which books have the best types of bets, odds, and bonuses - just let me know!


DraftKings DFS Sample Lineup

This is a very unconventional lineup, but hear me out. Collins and Okongwu are so cheap that you can pair them together and hopefully get 5x or better from both and maybe a ceiling game from one. Harden and Embiid together shows that I am bullish on the Sixers and trying to get at least one ceiling there, too.

The Nuggets guys all look good in projections, but that spread is massive and while I don’t predict blowouts, I know Denver will take their foot off the gas with starters when they get the chance, so I will roll with Reggie Jackson for my exposure there.

The WAS-ATL game is a good game for DFS and props, and I will have my Same Game Parlay there for you here in a bit.
