Friday Night Recap: One Tough Break, But We're Still in the Game! ๐
Share
We had a mediocre night on Friday as we went 1-2 on our picks. We were a half-point away from locking in another profit, so we won't need to change much in our strategy as we march forward and continue our Build the Bankroll Challenge.
1๏ธโฃ Grizzlies vs. Mavericks โ Under 239.5 Total Points
- Result: Win
- Game Recap: The Memphis Grizzlies secured a 122-111 victory over the Dallas Mavericks, with Ja Morant leading the charge with 31 points and 8 assists. The total points for the game came in well under the 239.5 mark, cashing us the win!
- Analysis: Both teams surged in the third quarter, but a slower fourth quarter where Memphis took over the game flow was all we needed to win our under bet.
2๏ธโฃ Phoenix Suns +7.5 vs. Denver Nuggets
- Result: Loss
- Game Recap: In an overtime thriller, the Denver Nuggets defeated the Phoenix Suns 149-141. Nikola Jokiฤ made NBA history by recording the league's first 30-20-20 stat line with 31 points, 22 assists, and 21 rebounds.
- Analysis: The Suns displayed resilience, pushing the game into overtime. However, the Nuggets' offensive firepower, highlighted by Jokiฤ's historic performance, proved too much, leading to an 8-point margin and narrowly missing our cover. Sometimes we just live and die by that one little half-point!
3๏ธโฃ Knicks vs. Clippers โ Over 218.5 Total Points
- Result: Loss
- Game Recap: The Los Angeles Clippers secured a 105-95 victory over the New York Knicks. The total points amounted to 200, falling short of our over bet.
- Analysis: Both teams struggled offensively, with shooting percentages below their season averages. The Clippers' defense effectively contained the Knicks, resulting in a lower-scoring affair than anticipated.
