12-02-19 NBA Blog Train Cyber Monday: 6 Games
Suns -4 at Hornets UNDER 222
Our beloved Hornets had the comeback completed, and then our Suns snatched it away. Down 20 points at halftime, the Hornets buzzed back in the 2nd half and led 104-99 with 1 minute left.
Then Kelly Oubre knocked down 2 big threes and the Suns made 4 free throws to end the game on a 10-0 run.
Suns 109, Hornets 104.
Hornets +4 was a really bad beat. Oof.
Over 222 was mostly an Anti-Lock that we took for fun, but there was a chance at OT there for a sec! Our overall record on Hornets’ Overs is 4-2, so it’s all good.
Kelly power dunk! Miles Bridges got a taste of his own medicine.

Jazz at 76ers -5 UNDER 208.5
The day after being down 40 at halftime in Toronto, the Jazz found themselves in another big hole, trailing Philly by 26.
Embiid bully ball. Embiid power dunk.
76ers 103, Jazz 94.
Jazz East Coast road trip: 1-4.
It’s early December, but if the Jazz cannot hang with the top teams in the East, how are they gonna hang with the top teams in the West? The Jazz play the Lakers on Wednesday night in Utah. The Lakers will be on the 2nd night of a back-to-back, playing in Denver on Tuesday night.
Philly looks like a different team at home and is now 10-0 at Wells Fargo.

Warriors at Hawks -6.5 UNDER 222.5
Not every day that you see a team with a 10-game losing streak as 6.5-point favorites… and then turn out to be a Pure Lock.
Hawks 104, Warriors 79.
Atlanta outscored Golden State 56-30 in the middle quarters and that was that.

Knicks at Bucks -17 UNDER 222.5
Bucks -17 was the Lock of the night! This one was a L-A-U-G-H-E-R.
Poor Julius Randle.
Bucks 132, Knicks 88.
We are obligated to tell you that the Bucks took the Knicks down to Cream City.
Back-to-back 40+ wins by the Bucks. 12 straight dubs and 9-1 at home.

Pacers -9.5 at Grizzlies OVER 216.5
The Grizz are banged up. No Ja. No Clarke. No Jonas. No Slow-Mo.
The Pacers are a UNIT. Seven Pacers in double-digits and six with 14+ points.
Pacers 117, Grizz 104.
The Pacers have now hit the Over in 5 out of the last 6 games. #trendy
Solomon Hill’s expiring contract scored 22 points? Solomon Hill’s expiring contract scored 22 points!

Bulls +4.5 at Kings OVER 212
Sac-Town jumped out to a quick 11-point lead and we were kicking ourselves for not taking the Kings after all.
But our biggest win of the night was staying away, because we never pick Kings games correctly!
Bulls 113, Kings 106.
The difference was three-pointers: Bulls 16 of 37. Kings 9 of 33.
Sacramento beating the Nuggets in OT after a big comeback and then losing to the Bulls after an early lead is just so Kangz.
