Game – Cleve Cavs at Atlanta Hawks series game 2, starts approx. 5:35 Pacific
Current consensus lines relevant to my picks – Game –1Q -Atl -0.5 ATS (-120 or 125) or -1 (-110 or 105), -130 to 140 ML, 2Q – Cavs +1/2 ATS (-115) and ML -105 or even odds
Significant injuries
Hawks – Demarre Carroll Doubtful (badly sprained knee, injury incurred last few minutes of game one) – Carroll has been seen practicing yesterday with a knee brace, so in the unlikely event he plays, his mobility will be adversely impacted
Cavs – Kyrie Irving ??? with nagging left knee injury he has been playing thru – he did not join yesterday’s team shoot around, and may be held out or play limited minutes since Cavs can afford to lose this game
Picks
Atl/1Q to win 4 units at -130 or 135 ML, or if you can’t play 1Q MLs, or ML is -140>, then 3 units at -1/2 ATS at -120 or 125 odds, or 2.5 units if your 1Q line is Atl -1 (-105 or 110); if your 1Q line is -1.5 for Atl, then find a new book
Cavs/2Q for 3 or 3.5 units (2 units at +1/2 ATS/-115 and 1.5 units at -105 or even odds on 1Q ML, or if your ML for Cavs is -110>, then 3.5 or 3 units at +1/2 ATS, depending on your odds (3.5 units at -115, or 3 units at -120 or 125)
Initial thoughts re these plays
Tonite I plan to go “back to the well” once more, with my 1Q/2Q sequence of plays on Atlanta home games TY having produced an unbelievable record of 14-0. But I won’t go crazy with them, because due to the law of averages, sooner or later, this quarter line double play will lose, and when that happens, I want to still have a lot left in net profits, both personally and for my private clients and you guys in this forum.who have been playing my picks.
If any of you want me to send you a customized quarter line betting attack strategy on tonite’s game, send me a private message with your 1Q and 2Q lines for the game, including both point spreads and (if you have them) money lines.
Support for above plays – will be provided with an update to this post later today, well in advance of tip-off
BOL for those whom play these picks tonite.
