The NBA regular season begins in just six days. I'm ready for it. I finished 11-6-1 on my last 18 playoff plays, including going 5-0 on my last five plays. I am 209-165-10 on my last 384 NBA paid/free plays for 56 percent.
I have one regular season Over/Under win total I really like: Milwaukee Bucks OVER 24 wins. I feel this way about it:
The Bucks are well under-the-radar right now, but they are going to be much improved. There is an optimistic outlook with new ownership and new coach Jason Kidd that hadn't been felt for years. Jabari Parker is likely to win rookie-of-the-year honors while making everyone around him better. Everyone knows about Parker, but Giannis Antetokounmpo is less heralded yet he has star potential, too, that started to surface last year.
The Bucks are particularly underrated at point guard with Brandon Knight, who could thrive under Kidd, and Kendall Marshall. Only Chris Paul had more assists per game than Marshall last season. It would be a nice plus for the Bucks if talented but troubled Larry Sanders comes back strong. Sanders and John Henson give Milwaukee a shot-blocking presence in the middle.
In today's NBA world, various teams will be tanking. The Bucks won't be one of those teams. Milwaukee has the second-lowest win total and it's not justified. This isn't last season.
I easily cashed my MLB Playoff Game of the Year last night with the Giants and have a play going in tonight's Game 2 Series game. It can be found here along with my various packages, including my NBA season package: /pregamepros/pro-bettor/bettor.aspx?id=7746#capper.
As always, let's have no bad luck!
