Quick update!


With all the attention on the "NC2A" - don't sleep on the NBA! I am uploading my updated NBA Flow chart which should show some possible games to give an extra look.


Some games I would look at:




  • 3-16 (Wed) magic (vs the Bucks). bucks are playing 4 games in 5 days. Need to investigate how they've handled that scenario and minutes of the previous games. Hmmm, just say that the Bucks mailed tonights game against ATL in, so this might not be a good bet.

  • 3-17 (thurs) Bulls vs Nets. Would look at how Nets have handled "success" in the past. They are coming off a big win against Celtics. My guess is they are due to relax. Bulls are playing very well and smell #1 seed in the east.

  • 3-18 (Friday) Nuggets @ Orlando. Orlando is a crazy team that can't put together solid stretches of basketball. Nuggets are playing very well since the MeloDrama has ended. Teams returning home after a long road trip usually lose that first game back. Especially since they aren't playing a "name" opponent. Actually doing some quick research shows they lost to Atlanta after a 5 day road trip, lost to Philly after a WC trip, AND needed OT to beat philly after another long road trip. So I like Denver here.

  • 3-19 Sat Celtics @ Hornets. Celtics are absolutely HORRIFIC on the 2nd night of the back to back. They aren't playing well to boot,so the Hornets seem like the play here.

  • 3-19 Sat Pacers @ Grizzlies. Grizz are waaay better than you think ATS. Plus Pacers will be in a 4 game in 5 night stretch. Again lets check the minutes of those games, and outcomes. Did they mail one in in this previous stretch? Did any go into overtime, or was a tough physical low scoring game? What I look for in these stretches are minutes played, and if they mailed one in (as well as how has team responded in previous 4/5 situations).Looks like they are 1-1 in these situations so far, so might be worth a look but wouldn't go crazy, unless they have two OT game or something.


I think that should be enough to sprinkle in with your NCAA buffet! Good luck everyone, and stay safe out there. :)

I would rank the nuggets as the best bet, with hornets being number 2.

Bulls are a no bet for me now. Boozer and Noah might be out. Boozer has the flu, which always makes me nervous about who else might have it.
