Well, that wasn’t the 3-0 night we were hoping for, but we still came away with a win thanks to the Hawks covering their spread! We went 1-2 on the night, taking a slight step back, but as always, we’re learning from these results and getting ready to bounce back.
Let’s break down what went right and what went wrong. 🚀
✅ Win – Atlanta Hawks -6.5 vs. Charlotte Hornets
📊 Final Score: Hawks 134, Hornets 102
🏀 Recap:
This one was never in doubt—the Hawks dominated from start to finish, covering the spread comfortably. Charlotte’s defensive struggles showed up once again, and Atlanta took advantage, scoring efficiently while locking things down on defense.
🚀 Takeaway: Fading weak defensive teams (like Charlotte) is usually a great strategy! The Hawks took care of business and cashed our ticket with ease.
❌ Loss – Bucks vs. Warriors Over 227.5 Total Points
📊 Final Score: Bucks 93, Warriors 104 (Total: 197 – Missed by a mile 😭)
🏀 Recap:
This game had all the makings of a high-scoring battle, but instead, the pace slowed down late, and both teams struggled from three-point range. The fourth quarter was especially brutal, with neither team pushing the tempo like we expected.
🚀 Takeaway: Even great offensive teams can have an off night. The Bucks and Warriors both shot well below their season averages from deep, and that made all the difference. The right read—just poor execution from the players.
❌ Loss – Winnipeg Jets Moneyline vs. Vancouver Canucks
📊 Final Score: Canucks 6, Jets 2
🏒 Recap:
The Jets had plenty of chances to win this one, but Vancouver’s goaltending was the difference. Winnipeg outshot the Canucks 34-27, but they couldn’t capitalize on key opportunities, and Vancouver pulled away late.
🚀 Takeaway: Hockey moneyline bets can be brutal—sometimes, the better team just doesn’t get the right bounces. Winnipeg played well but didn’t finish their chances, and that’s the difference in a close game.
📉 Tuesday Recap: 1-2 Record (-1.25 Units)
✅ Hawks -6.5 vs. Hornets (Win – Easy Cover!)
❌ Bucks vs. Warriors Over 227.5 (Loss – Slow pace & cold shooting)
❌ Jets ML vs. Canucks (Loss – Goaltending stole the game for Vancouver)
How We Adjust Moving Forward:
🔹 Look at pace & three-point trends more closely. If a team has been struggling from deep, we might be more cautious on overs.
🔹 Factor in road fatigue on NHL bets. Winnipeg was on a tough road stretch, and we should consider that when backing teams away from home.
🔹 Stick to the process. Winning days and losing days are all part of the grind. Bankroll management is key, and we’ll be back at it tomorrow!
🔥 Time to bounce back! Who’s ready to cash in on our next slate of bets? Let’s get after it! 🚀💰
