Castle 6+ ast each game vs POR+2000
2u
Bet 7+ every game at +575 at Score on Buckets and now mgm just popped it one ast lower at +2000! Crazy. He’s had 6+ in 16 of his last 18 games and had 5 in the other two. This is an INSANE line. Run, it’ll be gone in minutes.

Maxey 40+ pts any game vs BOS+300
0.5u
Fun bet. Maxey had 40+ 4x each of the last 3 seasons, including vs Boston this year, and 1 in his 5 playoff games already a couple years ago. With Embiid out and his floater working vs drop he should cook

Tatum 7+ reb every game vs PHI+325

Another way to bet Tatum reb in a series where Boston should smash the glass. Only real fear is a blowout game

Jokic 17+ reb any game vs MIN+300
2u
Somehow Jokić has hit this bet in 11 straight series. Absurd player. Had 16 and 19 vs Minn already this year. Had 17+ reb in 25% of his games over 32 minutes. I make this -400.

Tatum 10+ rpg vs PHI+210

Boston huge reb edge vs Philly. Last 13g Tatum 10.8rpg in 34mpg. Last two playoffs 10.2rpg. He’s avg 10rpg in 8 of his last 9 playoff series. Reb effort always goes up, and seems to be playing bigger role nearer basket post Achilles. 10rpg looks better than 50/50, 12 in play, was over 11 last two series.

Maxey pts leader vs BOS+140
1u
Bad line, - line elsewhere and I was eyeing it anyway. Getting helped out here by Jaylen Brown points being factored to high before the Tatum return, plus Embiid out + Boston drop

Fox assist leader vs POR+800
0.25u
After some deeper dive research I’m a bit skeptical about Castle assists now but stuck with a lot of stock. It felt like a lot more of the offense went through Fox, half court vs transition which is more playoff style. Fox way more potentials in G1, and getting a cheap number cuz Jrue had a monster game. This is a bit of a hedge that could lose both ways but it’s a bad number based on Game 1 results.

Betting Highlights
Favorite Bet of All-Time
Bet the Texans to go from worst to first in the division, and even doubled down with a Will Anderson DROY cherry on top. Joe Flacco CPOY +25000 and Nuggets over Heat +1600 exact outcome were fun, too!
Most Heartbreaking Bet
MVP bets. Tom Brady +1400 in 2021, odds-on favorite in December, but shutout vs. Saints on SNF. Nikola Jokic +900 in 2023, rightful leader all the way, but the moron voters get bored and go with Embiid last minute. Brock Purdy +5000 in 2024, odds-on favorite on Christmas, but the voters are too proud to vote for him or Dak. You're killin' me, Smalls!
