A WILD ending happened in the Cavs-Rockets game tonight. The Cavaliers were down 2 with under 5 seconds remaining, and Darius Garland takes a 3 pointer. He gets fouled on the shot, the ultimate defensive sin for a defense first team in the Houston Rockets. The referees actually rule it a flagrant foul! This is a complete foil by the Rockets… Here’s a clip of the flagrant foul on Darius Garland's three-point attempt:
But Garland, a 90% free-throw shooter, missed 2 of 3 free throws! The Rockets actually survive Cleveland's late surge in the fourth quarter and their own devastatingly dumb foul. The WHOP was on a Donovan Mitchell middle with 26-28 points and hoped for overtime, but secured a net profit since it was tilted on the under 28.5 as the main position.
NBA Best Bet
The WHOP card for Thursday already has doubel digits bets. One pick is the Indiana Pacers to cover against the San Antonio Spurs in France, as well as the over. I like Tyrese Haliburton Over 2.5 Threes Made (-110, DraftKings) to break his shooting slump (31.8% on threes with 3.2 fewer attempts). With three days of rest, he should attempt more threes and perhaps a neutral court site helps improve his accuracy.
Of course we are breaking down every game and all 10+ positions on the Thursday card in our normal 10am ET live show. Here is the link to the youtube video below.

The cost is $100/month. HOWEVER, there is an offer for $50 back in the first month simply for leaving a review on the store page, AND you will receive an account credit for an entirely free month if we ever do have a losing month. It is as “risk-free” as any package in the sports betting space. The consistency in beating the closing line should lead to consistent results on solid volume.
