NBA Best Bets Wednesday 5/21 & Thursday 5/22
I just watched literally every second of that Pacers @ Celtics Game 1, and yet I have no idea what I just witnessed. That was conference finals basketball? Which team deserved to win? It’s probably easier to say the Pacers deserved to lose- at least I felt they did. The Pacers continued to make incredibly difficult shots, Myles Turner side winding step backs, having multiple turnovers inbounding the ball, having both an offensive and defensive 3 seconds in the key violations, and barely getting to the free throw line. You would think with that combo of factors the Celtics took this one by 20, but the Cs had a handful on boneheaded plays themselves that we all had to watch more of this ugly game as it went to overtime.
Ultimately the Celtics won, didn’t cover the spread, but improved my Cs futures and Tatum MVP bet. Slightly negative night while improving some open positions… I dip below my +100units I just crossed, but I’m confident I will get it back.

Today I recorded two shows, one of The Advantage feed and also an episode of Buckets Live. Buckets was a reaction to Game 1, some game 2 pricing thoughts, and a very quick hitter on Mavs/Wolves. The Advantage show is a conference finals breakdown where I was joined by Mike Levy and Drew Johnson. Here are the links!
