As I said, that Denver Nuggets ML was not a recommended bet. I was right all along, but I was stuck as a Jokic fan. Ergh. They didn't play well, Jokic got his normal triple-double but Murray was not there. Was it defense? I doubt that. It's a low-scoring game so I am guessing both offensive teams are just trying to heat up for now.
For some reason I've been getting up around 5 am in the last few weeks, so just in time to catch Dario Saric debut and damn, Nuggets looked bad. I thought that those preseason losses are just because Jokic didn't really care much, but this didn't look good at all. Murray not on his level (while playing for 38 minutres whihc was imho weird decision by malone), almost non existent bench, atrocious 3 pts shooting..
Hopefully its just 1 bad game and they show more vs Clippers on Sunday.
Hopefully. I don't like watching the Denver Nuggets playing like this. They are an offensive team and Jokic can create a lot of openings but they are not hitting them right. I don't even know how he still got those 13 assists, considering how bad their offense is. The Thunder is a great team but 87-102, that sucks.
@OgNasty, I like your picks. I am going to steal the Warriors' pick and the Pelicans too.
Here are my choices.
Utah Jazz - Golden State Warriors -
Golden State Warriors (-2.5)Portland Trail Blazers - New Orleans Pelicans -
New Orleans Pelicans (-3.5)Cleveland Cavaliers - Detroit Pistons -
Cleveland Cavaliers (-10.5)The Lakers are the favorite against the Suns, I think it's because Bradley Beal is probable to play and their two best defenders Allen and Okogie.
I might also try a parlay but with different handicaps. Good luck everyone.
