[LT Profits]

Starting Saturday (November 1), we will start a November Hoops Parlay Contest with a grand prize of a $200 cash account at BetPhoenix, 3 time roll-over. Second Place will be a $50 account and last place will receive a $25 BetPhoenix account with a 3 time roll over. If there is a tie for last place in both units and game-by-game record (15 parlay minimum), the last place prize will be divided equaly.

*IMPORTANT*
All players must have an account at BetPhoenix to be prize eligible Sign up here

To be eligible to win prizes, all players must PM their BetPhoenix account ID to SBRforum Staff NO LATER than 6:00pm ET on Wednesday, November 5!


1. Check in the NBA BASKETBALL HANDICAPPING FORUM each day for the daily thread to be posted by LT Profits. Lines will be posted by 1:00 p.m. (ET) each day. Plays may be posted before that, but the official posted lines will be used for grading.

2. Posted spreads and totals are the only eligible plays for grading, no Money Lines or Halves allowed. NBA and NCAA Men's Colege Basketball will be included.

3. Two-game parlay picks, laying 10 to win 26. Post entire parlay at same time, no open parlays.

4. Here’s the catch: Your play must include a write-up! The write-up does not have to be long, just a sentence or two about why you are making your play. If need be, please refer to prior month's contests for examples.

5. Entries that are past-post or do not have analysis for both games will be NO ACTION. Once your two-team parlay has been posted, you CANNOT change either play. Any edited post will count as a *-LOSS! If you make a mistake (such as leaving out "Over" or "Under" or not clearly stating your selection), need to add analysis or wish to enter corrected lines, do so in a separate post. This holds true even if the first game on the schedule did not tip off yet. It also holds true for past-posts and entries with no analysis. It does NOT hold true for posts that are not parlay selections, i.e. standings, commentary posts or congratulatory posts. Any player with two edit violations during the course of the contest shall be ELIMINATED FROM PRIZE ELIGIBILITY.

*-EXCEPTION: If someone edits a post on the last day of the competition in an attempt to get an automatic loss in order to win the Last Place prize, then the player will be credited with a WIN.

6. And here’s the fine print:

• Must be 18 years of age or older to participate.
• One entry per household and IP address.
• Must use lines posted in daily thread by LT Profits
• Maximum one parlay pick per day, minimum 15 parlay plays required to be eligible for monthly prize.
• Tiebreaker for prizes - Win % of individual parlay legs. If still tied, combatants will carry on a head-to-head parlay match until winner determined.
• All decisions made by SBR with regards to this contest are final.
• SBR employees eligible to participate but are not eligible to win the monthly prize.

[ryanXL977]

there should be an award for last

heat-8.5 : nets worst team in the league
raptors+8.5: i still believe they are a top 3 east team

[mundane]

blazers/magic over 192
gut-play. for blazers to win, (trendwise) they need to hit on the high 90's; magic playing against a young squad, they should be pumped up to jack up some points. hopefully both teams know that it's also too early of a season to play d. :P

boston -8.5
bosh seems to be the only one playing for the raptors. if that continues, that's not gonna fly especially playing against boston. dd win by the celtics. celtics -5 1h looks good also.

[Wilforth]

Not part of the contest. Just posting.

Memphis/Phoenix Over 196½
Over is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings.
Over is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings in Phoenix.
Plus Phoenix are in great scoring form.

Orlando -7½
Favorite is 4-1-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings.
Home team is 4-1-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings.
Plus Orlando looks the better team at the moment.

Orlando

[Wilforth]

celtics -5 1h looks good also.

That's risky. Celtic, like the Lakers, tend to "relax" in the 1H especially against opponents that are rather easily beatable.

[THEGREAT30]

Heat -8.5 I have the game capped at -17 +17 for the Heat.

Indiana u 196 I have it capped at 188.

[mundane]

That's risky. Celtic, like the Lakers, tend to "relax" in the 1H especially against opponents that are rather easily beatable.

i understand what ur saying wilforth but check this out...

after that sloppy loss against indiana, first half numbers for the celtics have been good numbers. 1h ahead by:

pistons 18
bucks 8
thunder 7
rockets 5

that's an average of 9.5

and if raptors are considered in the same breath as pistons (caliber-wise and being in the eastern division), then it's safe to assume that this trend might just continue!

[brock]

Portland Trailblazers +7½ play Orlando close.
Memphis Grizzlies +11 eleven is a lot.

[WestsidePete]

Magic -7.5: Blazers don't play well on the road and have no one to stop Dwight Howard.

Heat -8.5: Heat have stepped up defensively this year and are playing excellent at home and even if Devin Harris plays he won't be 100%.

[redrum]

Heat-8.5 should be a blowout orlando-7.5 to much scoring port can't keep up

[turnip]

LT Profits,

Are NCAA games going to be listed? I don't have a play on either of today's games, just wondering for future reference.

[Wilforth]

Memphis Grizzlies +11 eleven is a lot.

Sorry to comment on your post here. Eleven isn't a lot given the way many road teams "crumble" in the 4Q.

[PureGuava]

Boston Celtics -8½ Over 182½

Celtics are the champs right now, they win at home and score goes over.

[Richkas]

704 Indiana Pacers -11 (Indy will take control in the 2nd half of this game and route a terrible road team)


705 Toronto Raptors +8½ (Too many points to be giving Toronto. They won the only meeting between these 2 last year.)

[I.R.B]

NJN - Over 187 .. This should be a good shootout..

Boston - Over 182½ - Boston should run the score up here..

[JDUB07]

Oklahoma City/Indiana UNDER 196- Over is a little too high here for me. I don't see where these teams are going to find that many points with such impotent offenses.

Boston/Toronto OVER 182.5- Both teams have guys who can fill it up. Expect this game to have both teams in the 90s.

[thezbar]

memphis +11 playing an early bird hunch I saw this morning
raptors +8.5 They played "who let the dogs out" at the gym this morning. Raptors are the biggest and baddest dog ** roof roof **

[treece]

702 Orlando Magic Under 192. Magic blowout equals an under.
702 Orlando Magic -7½. Portland coming from the west coast.

[ertl09]

portland/orlando Under 192 --- gut feeling, orlando playing well and has a decent D

Oklahoma +11 --- Indiana shouldn't be favs of 11 points, they allow opponents to score a lot of points

[picantel]

Toronto Raptors Over 182½: Less defense this game. boston scores higher at home. toronto can hang

Memphis Grizzlies Over 196½ : the suns are rested. memphis will be forced to run and gun or be killed.

[sportsfun]

708 miami -8.5. with harris out new jersey might get blown out.
709 phoenix-memphis over 196.5. fast tempo game = over.

[Wrigley]

705 Toronto Raptors +8½
Boston still seems to be thinking about last years title they will win but not by 8.5 plus

709 phoenix-memphis under 196.5 I think this wont be as fast paced as predicted and im looking for a total in the 180-188 range

[playa420]

Boston Celtics -8½:Celtics are the best team in the nba and are 16-7 ATS in their last 23 home games.

Phoenix Suns -11:Suns are a solid team and should have no problem covering vs the lowly grizzles.Favorite is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings

[VBOMBER]

OKC/Indiana over 196 - Should be a decently paced game, and the only wory is OKC's inept offense, but I think they show up enough to get this over the number

Toronto/Boston over 182.5 - Although both playing great D, if they can just manage to show some signs of their good offenses this should get over the number

[LT Profits]

It's late so have to keep these short

BLAZERS +7.5: Too many points for an East team to give a GOOD West team. The Magc have not found their stride offenively yet.

THUNDER/PACERS OVER 196: Over is 9-1 in last 10 meetings. Pacers have gone Over vs. every weak defense they have faced this year.

[LT Profits]

LT Profits,

Are NCAA games going to be listed? I don't have a play on either of today's games, just wondering for future reference.

Oh shit, I totally forgot.

Yes the CBB games should have been included, and they will be in the future.

Sorry guys.

[gm2022]

708 Miami Heat -8½ At home should take care of a young new jersey team!

Phoenix Suns -11 Maybe to many pts but I like the way the suns are playing!
