Picks & Betting Strategy Notes [PREMIUM ONLY🔒]
✅ Pick: Jazz +17.5 (-110) – Big number, and Celtics tend to let up in 2nd half. Also like Jazz 1st Q +6 — The Jazz are middle of the pack 1st quarter team.

Picks & Betting Strategy Notes [PREMIUM ONLY🔒]

✅ Pick: Knicks -2.5 (-110) – Knicks defense > Kings defense — and Kings coming off OT back-to-back.
🔥 Best Player Bet: Keegan Murray Over 11.5 Points (-110) – Should be able to get off a good amount of shots to hit this.
