Not every day is a winner, and yesterday wasn’t our best as we went 1-2 on our picks. But this is exactly why bankroll management is key—sticking to smart, disciplined betting ensures that one bad night doesn’t derail long-term success.
With only one NBA game on the board, we took our shots, but things didn’t go our way. The good news? We have a full slate of NBA action today, giving us plenty of opportunities to bounce back!
Let’s break down what happened in yesterday’s picks:
✅ Win – LaMelo Ball Over 10.5 Rebounds + Assists
📊 Final Line: 6 Assists, 5 Rebounds (Total: 11 – Cash it! 💰)
Analysis:
It wasn’t the easiest sweat, but LaMelo got the job done! He ended with 6 assists and 5 rebounds, barely getting over the line, but a win is a win. His ability to create for teammates and contribute across multiple stat categories makes this one of our favorite prop bets.
🚀 Takeaway: When LaMelo is healthy and playing big minutes, he’s a strong bet for rebounds + assists.
❌ Loss – Lakers -12 vs. Hornets
đź“Š Final Score: Hornets 100, Lakers 97
Analysis:
We backed the Lakers to win big, but instead, they didn’t win at all. The Lakers were up by 11 at halftime, but Charlotte put together an impressive 3rd quarter and then a strong defensive effort late helped them pull off the upset. The Lakers’ offense struggled in key moments, and our -12 bet was dead long before the final buzzer.
🚀 Takeaway: Even elite teams struggle to cover big spreads sometimes, and in this case, the Lakers struggled to win at all. We’ll be more selective when backing large favorites going forward.
❌ Loss – Lakers vs. Hornets Over 227.5
📊 Final Score: Hornets 100, Lakers 97 (Total: 197 Points – Not Even Close)
Analysis:
This one wasn’t just a loss—it was way off. The game was played at a much slower pace than expected, and both teams struggled to generate consistent offense. We knew Charlotte wasn’t a great defensive team, but they locked in and held the Lakers to just 97 points. That defensive effort killed our chances of hitting the over.
🚀 Takeaway: The pace and scoring trends were off, and we didn’t account for a defensive battle. We’ll be more cautious with high totals in slower-paced matchups.
🔥 Tuesday Recap: 1-2 Overall
✅ LaMelo Ball Over 10.5 Rebounds + Assists – Barely got there, but a win is a win! 💰
❌ Lakers -12 vs. Hornets – Lakers not only fail to cover, but lose outright.
❌ Lakers vs. Hornets Over 227.5 – Way under, as Charlotte’s defense stepped up.
đź’° Current Week Record: 1-2
