Daily Picks – Friday, January 18, 2019

by Ray Simmons

NCAA – MBB

  • Ohio State -3
    • I love this game! A lot of people tend to get scared of the unranked team against a ranked team, but not this guy. Ohio State has the home court tonight looking to make a statement after 3 tough losses in a row, two of them to currently AP Top 25 teams and the the other on the road. Turnovers have absolutely killed Ohio State in their last two losses so look for them to clean that up tonight and put this losing streak to an end. Also as a bit of a side note Ohio State received over hundred votes between the ESPN Coaches poll and the AP Top 25 poll this past week.
  • Buffalo -15.5
    • This is a tough spread to take, but boy do I like it. Giving up 15.5 points to any team is tough, especially when they just beat this same team two weeks ago by only 16 points. The big difference between tonight and last week though is that tonight Buffalo is home. If they can put that kind of a molly-whopping on the road I can only imagine what they’re going to do to them at home. The average margin of victory for Buffalo at home this year is OVER 20 points per game. With already playing this team this year on the road and knowing how they play expect them to run Eastern Michigan out of the gym tonight.

NBA

  • Celtics -11
    • After a big team moral and conference win at home against the Raptors Wednesday night, I fully expect the Celtics to carry that momentum forward against the sub-par Memphis Griz tonight. The Grizzlies are also coming off what might be one of their biggest wins of the season against the Bucks on Wednesday, but with both the Bucks game and tonight’s game being on the road, against two of the best teams in the Eastern Conference, I just don’t think the Grizzlies have what it takes to keep up.

Anybody that had Knicks ML last night should consider never betting again.

by Ray Simmons

Last night the Knicks managed to actually do something right, while at the same time ripping the hearts out of any loyal fan or insane human that may have (for some unknown reason) taken them ML -250. Anyone betting the Knicks ML at this point in the season is a complete degenerate and is desperate for a miracle mid-week bailout. I honestly don’t even feel bad for anyone on the wrong side of this bad beat, the Knicks stink!

With the Knicks up 100-99 and 3 seconds left on the game clock, this looked like a guaranteed Knicks win, but in typical Knicks fashion they manged to completely fuck this one up. With .04 seconds left some bum Allonzo Trier (yeah exactly who the fuck is he) for the Knicks was called for goaltending to give the Wizards the lead 101-100. Are you kidding me!? GOALTENDING! That is just wrong. You should just quit betting if you were on the wrong side of this one. Somebody or something out there wants to see you lose, sorry.

At this point I don’t even know if the Knicks themselves wanted to win this game. I think they did the right thing here with goaltending that shot. You have no chance of any playoff hope and you need superstar talent. Why not just take the old “tank” approach and hope that you land Zion Williamson aka “Zanos”. I mean come on this boy was given a nickname by his own teammates based on a fictional supervillain that destroyed all of humanity, something tells me he’ll be pretty good.
