<...> I'll only take the -1.5 now without hesitation.
Congrats! You had to sweat a little bit with Jazz making a run in the 4th, OT ftw! Bookies absolutely nailed this one with pick'em (identical odds).
I'll try to make it 3/3 on the day with a nice betbuilder
Middleton 20+ pts/ast/reb + U253.5 + Grizzlies +17.5 @1.72 wonBucks are clearly the heavy favorites here, but Grizzlies are not a bad team, certainly not a team that loses by 20pts, plus Giannis should be on a minutes restriction still (he probably plays no more than 25 or so).
On a different note, you may be heard me bitch about Raptors resting players:
Raptors are just a game or two out of the play-in tournament as of right now but they don't look like they care if they make it or not. Resting players for no apparent reason, they will be without both their starting guards Lowry and Van Vleet today
Raptors are resting guys again for no reason, Lowry and now Trent jr, so yeah...they are a joke;
David Stern used to fine teams with $250k back in the day, Adam Silver should probably consider upping that number a bit, $25K is way too low:
