Welcome back! NY online sports betting legalized on January 8, 2022. This milestone is a huge win for the sports betting community. It’s been a difficult past 6 months, I wasn’t planning to post this season but needed to pivot and get my mind to a different space. So here is my first pick for the 2021-2022 NBA season. My model favors the Wizards and so do I. Wizards for the win and cover. Happy 2022!

SCORE: 6

The last few games before the play-in has been quite the spectacle. Teams that have already secured a spot are sitting players and teams that are tanking are also sitting. Then there are players trying to secure their next employment opportunity by playing hard. And what about the ones playing but trying not to get hurt – sand baggers. Trying to determine each team and player’s motivation is daunting. This is a case of data distraction where IR stats are not applicable. This leads to the only playable game between the Grizzlies and Warriors. They have a lot on the line and are mostly injury free. Curry is still playing at an MVP level, but this team is not the same as the one in the last championship run. The game comes down to how much Morant can slow down Curry. I see it down to the wire so I am taking the points.
