Some Win Totals / Futures Notes for NBA:
DEN to advance to NBA Finals +440 (Fanduel)
DEN to adv to WCF +175 (2 Units)
Denver would have beaten OKC in that Game 7 if Aaron Gordon was fully healthy … now they get better with added motivation. This is my title pick.
Orlando Magic O51.5 is my biggest bet ever for a season win total. I hit 55+ wins and 60+ wins too.
Magic to adv to Finals +600 FD
Magic to make ECF +240 FD (2 Units)
I almost love Rockets U52.5 just as much as the ORL total. Played them to make play-in but a bigger play on them to miss the playoffs which is +850 on DraftKings. Never have I seen something priced so off in these NBA markets. I respect a lot about this Rockets team but the FVV injury takes them from the top tier (which they seem to still be priced into) to a playoff hopeful in my eyes.
Raptors to make playoffs (+170 fanatics — best line by a mile). This year feels like a shift where TOR HAS TO make the playoffs rather than hoping for it in previous seasons and this Eastern Conference environment is obviously assisting that. JaKobe Walter and Jamal Shead are here as impact players for this second unit.
Hornets and Pelicans are the teams that I took to make the playoffs at big plus money. To make the play-in is bet 1 and then YES for playoffs is bet 2. If it all goes right for the Pels I think they could definitely jump the play-in … hard to say the same for CHA.

Mitch Johnson:
"I don't get into social media. I think I've probably been fired 212 times, and we've traded Fox 72 times ... People have their opinions. I don't care ... De'Aaron Fox will have the basketball in his hands at the end of the game tomorrow."
What is lost in Fox’s tomfoolery with that layup attempt was HIS foul with 5 seconds left that occurred with Jose Alvarado handling the ball at half court with the Spurs best perimeter defender on him with no feasible or possible way to get Jalen Brunson the basketball
Ebuka Okorie has been working out with 2x NBA Champ Mike Miller ahead of the draft, and it’s paying off.
He goes 30/32 from 3PT here. Cleanest I’ve seen his shot look.
Led the ACC in scoring + had 8 games with 30+ points (co-led the nation). Bucket.
One of the greatest honors since I started doing draft work five years ago.
My interview with Larry Vaught regarding Ousmane N'Diaye's expected impact at Kentucky will be featured in various papers in the state of Kentucky.
Thank you, Sir! It's a huge honor! @vaughtsviews
Dailyn Swain is an underrated prospect...
6'8, 6'10 wingspan + a strong frame. ELITE self-created rim pressure, 10.5 rim FGA/100 and fishing at a 64.3% clip. Good passer off the bounce, defensive playmaker, and legit positional rebounder. Serious player.
