Was there any reason for you to pick New Orleans, other than the fact that they were at home?

I don't like making close picks by picking a team because they have home court.

I might have done that this time, though.

I think I have been picking against New Orleans too many times and I feel Philadelphia is due for a loss. But that might be me not paying attention to whether they lost the last game or not. I basically pick New Orleans every other game that they play and okay to good team. Philadelphia is better than that, but I just went with it. I’m probably wrong.

Philly keeps bricking FTs, but the Pelicans are blocked by Butler near the end of the buzzer.

New Orleans can't get us the win.

Sacramento over Minnesota (Jeff Teague likely out)

Teague being out didn't matter.

Minnesota still won.

 

[MHSL82]

Update: he is 91 points away and 23 games to go. 3.96 PPG needed.

79 points away with 22 games to go: 3.6 average needed.

If Toronto had lost, I could have had another 100% wrong day again. I wonder when I'll do that again.

If the Jazz had won by double digits, in a wire to wire or near wire to wire win, then @MHSL82 would have finally said what he's promised to say, if the Jazz had a good win.

It made up for the OKC Loss. Well, met expectations for the three games. Beating the Bucks would make up for the OKC loss.

Toronto Raptors over Portland Trailblazers

The Bucks game will affect my prediction for the Jazz game tomorrow.

Expectations should be higher than just beating Denver once a year!
