How To
Use Betting Units. Set your total amount of money to bet with for today and divided it by 100. That is how much each unit is. E.G if you have $1000 / 100 = $10 Units.
Follow the staking advice. Anyone who only put the same amount on every bet would have made less than 50% of the profit made by following our Staking Advice and Volume of Bets.
Check the number of units to stake in the caption of each photo. See the example below.

Early Release
Jimmy has hit this line 48 games in his last 131 games played including 8 play off games out of 21 last season and 2 out of 5 vs the Bucks. Jimmy Butler was very on and off during the first 3 rounds of the play-offs last season. He was always very involved in games but not necessarily as the primary ball handler or point of attack. He let Bam, Dragic and Herro take on plenty of the shot creating duties at times including some in crunch time. This is how I see it playing out tomorrow.
Jimmy Butler 2 units. Take odds over $3.
Giannis hit this line 15 games this season. 2 games out for 4 in last seasons play-off matchup with the Heat. Giannis averages 28.1ppg 11.0rpg 5.9apg. What we are looking for here is the Heat committing to slowing down / preventing Giannis. Last play-offs that's how coach Spoelstra played it and it worked, now the Bucks have improved so we'll see if they still employ the same tactics and coverages for Giannis.
Giannis 1.5 units. Take odds over $6.
Luka averages 27.7ppg 8.0rpg 8.6apg. Luka has hit this line 12 games this season. In 6 playoff matchups against the Clippers last season he hit this line 3 out of 6 games in the series. The Clippers lineup a little different this season but I still see Luka as a quality contributor in this series. The Mavericks will go as far as he can take them.
Luka 1.5 units. Take odds over $4.
Kawhi is averaging 24.8ppg 6.5rpg 5.2apg this season. He hit this line in 6 out of 6 playoff matchups with the Mavericks last season. His averages in the series were 32.8ppg 10.2rpg 5.2apg. Kawhi owned this series last season, I see that continuing this series. Barring some massive underperformance or major adjustment from the Mavs (same coach, mostly the same rotation).
Kawhi 3 units. Take odds over $2.5.
Kyrie averages 26.9ppg 4.8rpg 6.0apg. He's hit this line 31 out of 54 games this season. I think this is a value play considering the above. Factor in he's playing his former team, reckon he lights up the Sage then lights the Celtics. Go Kyrie.
Kyrie 3 units. Take odds over $2.5.
Tatum 1.5 units. Take odds over $4.5
CJ McCollum 2 units. Take odds over $3
Damian Lillard 1.5 units. Take odds over $6
