I am making picks for every NBA playoff game every day and tracking how I do. Games tip off at 9:00 PM ET today.
Here are the odds today, via FanDuel:
Nuggets vs. Lakers (-6)
Pick: Nuggets +6
Record: 38-33
Prop picks: Anthony Davis under 28.5 points (-118), Anthony Davis over 9.5 rebounds (-115)
Props record: 13-9
I also like the superboost FanDuel has where LeBron has a 30+ point triple-double (with rebounds and assists) for +600. Not saying that’s above 50/50 to happen but I like the pot odds.
I like the LeBron Triple Double bet if you can find it without the 30 point requirement. LeBron has three triple doubles in 13 playoff games. Two of those were for 30+ points, making the 6:1 odds about right. However, no Laker has ever recorded more than one 30+ point triple double in the same playoffs until LeBron did it for the second time last game. The triple double prop is +280, so not good enough odds for me to take a shot.

I am taking LeClown’s advice and not watching and i bet a lot of others are doing likewise
