NBA Monday:
Washington - Charlotte (Over 113.5 (A team of 113.5) 1.60)
Chicago - Orlando (Chicago -11.5 (Handicap -11.5) 1.60)
Charlotte performed very low last time so I think she will be able to score at least 114 points now.
Chicago wins today, is just a matter of how much, maybe 12 extra points, will be better today, we'll see.

The Warriors/Mavs game was a dud. I will also probably get screwed over with the Bucks and Raptors because Giannis didn't play, so my bets will probably be losses even though he didn't even start.
Otherwise at least the Nets and Sixers played well.

This is why I'll make bets as close to game time as possible and avoid parlays with the NBA since they could sit key players out. I'll do parlays with the NFL but rarely with the NBA.

Good point.
I bet on 888 sports and it does look like they refunded my parlay that involved Giannis sitting out, so at least they are good that way. It would have been even better if they dismantled the parlay into singles, since half of it was still worth something.
Also, 888 sports removes a lot of the parlay building at game time.

Today, there are four games and three are expected to be uncontested.
I'm interested in the one that is supposed to be close and that is Knicks vs. Celtics.
One betting site is suggesting the Knicks will win and another is suggesting O221. I think either team could take it.
I will go with: Barrett O14 points & O1.5 assists & each team O95.5 points @ 2.15
For Suns vs. Clippers, I will go with Both teams O99.5 points & D. Booker O20 points & Suns win @ 2.10
Clippers are depleted and so are the Suns, but the Suns have two of their key starters in Booker and C. Paul. Clippers can still score, but not as well as the Suns can.
The Warriors - Pelicans game may be interesting if Steph Curry sits it out due to a leg injury. Maybe a gametime bet.

I was thinking more on this, and maybe it's not a bad idea to include player-related bets in parlays that involve a particular team winning, if that team is unlikely to win without a particular player. That way if the player sits out then the parlay gets refunded in its entirety.

I'm going with Philadelphia 76ers - 6.5. The Spurs are banged up enough for this to go through, hopefully.

Looks like another 1/2 incoming. I just can't get over how volatile the Raptors are. They could have easily won by 10+ if not for some really awful unnecessary turnovers.

Giannis isn’t on the missing list so I’m expecting more points from the Bucks anyway, but the Hornets I think are more likely now.
But maybe there will be fewer points than 239:
Charlotte - Milwaukee (Less than 238.5 (Score: 238.5) 1.65)

3/4 but the Nets are playing awful for some reason.
Tonight may be a weird night as a few of the weaker teams are now playing much better.
Wolves and Warriors to win, and Thunder +8.5

I really don't follow the Nets but Joe Harris is out, Irving is just returning and because of the Covid restriction in New York cannot play home games, then Harden is out and even when Harden is in the games he's not hoarding the ball trying to score like crazy because Durant needs to get his touches.
You'd expect the Nets to win against the Trailblazers team without McCollum and Lillard but I looked at the espn game score and the Trailblazers just hit 3 after 3 at one point of the game and took the game over. The other thing is they just played an O/T game with the Spurs on Sunday and flew to Portland to play the Trailblazers on Monday.
The safest bet from that game seemed like a parlay with Durant to score 25, rebounds and rebounds as the real scoring option for the Nets but the coach wants to start limiting Durant's minutes to get him ready for the end of the season so that might not even be the best bet going forward!!, lol.
So I would stay away from betting on them for awhile.
