NBA
Indiana Pacers @ Los Angeles Lakers:
LeBron James (points + assists) - under 38.5 /// 1.67
Last bet won. Well, for the first time this NBA betting season, a key player of a team did not play for the team I bet against. And it became known after I bet. I think everyone guessed that Atlanta's Trae Young didn't play. Philadelphia played relaxed, realizing that the victory is not going anywhere from them. And after the first quarter it seemed that the Hawks would lose defeatedly and without a chance. But Atlanta showed character. It was a thriller, and with 3:14 left in the game, the score was 109-109. But Philadelphia suddenly started to play the basketball that I was expecting from them the whole game. As a result, with 3 minutes left, the 76ers made a run of +11 points, which was enough to win the bet. I'm glad, but I need to make the same run in my future bets too! The total score of my bets: NBA 14-27 in favor of the unsuccessful, MLB 30-27 in favor of the successful, NFL+NCAAF 2-6 in favor of the unsuccessful.
New bet: LeBron James will not score more than 38 points+passes in the NBA In-Season Tournament Final in Las Vegas! Here we go! I promised I wouldn't bet on Lakers games. But today will be only this game in NBA. I'm a Lakers fan from the days when Steve Nash played in Los Angeles. Those were Kobe's last few seasons. A time of turmoil for the Lakers, when the team was at the bottom of the Western Conference standings and picking up players from the draft after disappointing seasons. Long years of suffering! The Lakers at that time were like modern-day Detroit - these are about the same results. Until LeBron James came in! I was very excited about that signing and I'm still very happy that the greatest player in the NBA is playing for the Lakers! So, the bet tonight is that LeBron James will not jump over his head. Scoring overall 39 points on a points+passes system is a very serious performance! The King has only succeeded in scoring 39 points or more on a points+passes system 5 times from 22 games this season. In the last 10 games against Indiana, LeBron has only been able to score 39 points or more on a points+passes system 2 times. Earlier this season, the Lakers had a lot of injuries and still LeBron only scored 39 points or more in points+passes system only a few times. Now the Lakers have almost everyone healthy. There are a lot of players who can score points besides LeBron and give up assists (Austin Reaves and DiLo). And the bookies odds are too juicy - 1.67 for those stats. Should we bet? Sure!
