Jan 26th 2021 — Cold As Hell

Well, the theory didn’t work AT ALL. That back-to-back on the last game of a third in four, clearly doesn’t fucking matter at all. Lakers, and Chicago both couldn’t cover, Tatum coming back kinda screwed me for the Bulls, but hey what can you do. Dallas can’t defend a Centre to save their lives, and the Hornets just looked lost. The Magic finally found some offence without Fultz, and I think they might have their groove back of being a solid 8 seed.

Today we only have 3 games on the board, so maybe a nice bounce back day after going 0–4 (Pelicans vs Spurs was postponed), now 66–60 on the season. A lot closer to even then I would like. Back to basics, no games within 3 points of the spread, no trying out theories, the only thing I follow is BFW and the model.

Here we go.

ATL -5

The Clippers are missing both Kawhi and PG13 for this game due to covid. So with Lou Williams needing to score just about every point for the Clippers, and Clint Capela still having the hottest streak ever. I got the Hawks, I’ve got the points.

My model has (with Kawhi and PG out for the Clippers) Hawks -8

HOU -3.5

The Wizards are back to playing bad basketball. Bradley Beal is averaging 34 points a game, and they have only won 3 games. The Rockets are a deeper and better team, and VO is going to give Beal some problems.

My model has Rockets -6.5

Player Props:

I’m dipping my toes into the player prop game while daPwesident takes a little time off to catch up on work. I’ve got one pick today, Donovan Mitchell OVER 4.5 rebounds.

Good luck and happy betting
