YESTERDAY: 1-3 (-23 units)
FEBRUARY: 14-15-1 (-1.4 units)
ALL TIME: 14-15-1 (-1.4 units)

RECAP:

DUKE: TRAP
OREGON: Dillon Brooks hit the only shot we asked him to miss, keeping the game from overtime.
BRADLEY: Still Turrrrible
**BUTLER**: I will never understand how Vegas gave us this spread. Maybe because they knew how much they would be screwing us elsewhere.

Vegas trapped us twice in one day, with Oregon and Duke. They better not get used to it. In a day full of upsets, we benefited  from a underdog of our own, Butler. So we can't be too sour. Unfortunately this makes that Indiana loss sting a little more, as we could really use those parlay units. But enough dwelling on the past. The NBA is back and you know what that means... EASY MONEY. Today we are going to crush it. We are going to take back what is ours. OUR DIGNITY, OUR UNITS!!!

PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS -2.5 at Orlando Magic
6pm central
(11 units wagered, 10 units won)

The Orlando Magic trade with Toronto, was not to get better. This is a team that knew it had no use in keeping Serge Ibaka and wasting his talents. They made the move to send him to Toronto in order to look at the future. Part of looking at the future, is losing games and trying to get a top lottery pick. Just ask the 76ers about the process. Portland is 2 games out of the 8 seed in the West. I don't exactly understand the Nurkic for Plumlee trade, but I do believe the Blazers had winning games in mind. Damian Lillard fully believes that all he needs to do is get into the playoffs and he has a chance of winning the title. This may be a pipe dream, but having that confidence and drive to make the playoffs should help us in this game. Now I know you might be thinking... Portland is a far flight from Orlando. These players are coming off a week break, and jet lag, that usually has an effect, shouldn't effect too much tonight. The Blazers won 4 of their last 6 going into the break. I believe they take this momentum into Orlando, and get one step closer to the 8 seed in the West.

South Dakota -5 at Western Illinois
7pm central
(11 units wagered, 10 units won)

South Dakota sits at 2nd in the Summit and still has a chance at winning the conference. Daily subscriber Kristian Kiskinov, left Western Illinois to get his masters at South Dakota. I have to assume that decision had something to do with the two basketball programs. Western Illinois sits at 295th in our trusted Kenpom rankings, while South Dakota is more respectable at 144. South Dakota is also hot and hungry on a 4 game winning streak, while The Leathernecks have lost 4 of their last 5. The Leathernecks  average 70.8 ppg but allow 75.4 ppg. The Yotes are truly in the upper class of the Conference, while the Leathernecks are nothing but bottom dwellers. If you are looking at the Leathernecks, be like Kristian. Move on to the Coyotes, you won't regret it.
