Tough Breaks, But We Move Forward! 💪

Last night was one of those nights where the right plays just didn’t go our way. A few unlucky breaks and frustrating finishes kept us from cashing in, but we trust the process and keep pushing forward. Let’s break it down:

✅ Golden State Warriors teased to -4.5 – The one bright spot of the night as the Warriors handled business against Portland.

❌ Boston Celtics teased to -8.5 – Boston controlled the game, but a late backdoor cover by Utah spoiled this one. Frustrating, but not much else to do here.

❌ Miami Heat teased to -2.5 – Miami had this in the bag until a late-game collapse let Charlotte sneak in. A tough loss, but these balance out over time.

❌ Hawks/Sixers Under 250 – A game that should’ve stayed well under, but unnecessary late buckets pushed it over. Sometimes, the ball just doesn’t bounce our way.

❌ Kings/Knicks Under 230 – Another solid under that was on track… until a flurry of late scoring ruined it. That’s basketball.

These nights happen, but if there’s one thing we know—sticking to the strategy pays off long term. The bounce-backs are where we make our mark. On to the next! 🚀📈

🏀🏈 The FineLine Picks

✅ Prediction #1

  • Pick: Pistons Teased to -7.5 vs. Wizards

    • Washington is on a back-to-back and missing key players (Bilal Coulibaly, Malcolm Brogdon), which puts them at a major disadvantage.

    • Detroit has a strong Game Cover Rank edge (13.7 vs. 26.3)—a clear sign they’re in a great spot.

    • Even without Jaden Ivey, the Pistons should control this game against a fatigued Wizards squad.
