287. Dallas Mavericks at Los Angeles Lakers

289. Oklahoma City Thunder at New Orleans Pelicans
290. Golden State Warriors at Orlando Magic
291. Washington Wizards at Los Angeles Clippers
292. Utah Jazz at Toronto Raptors[/QUOTE]

Why did you pick the Raptors?

 

[MHSL82]

Because they’re better. I think I chose the Jazz when they beat Milwaukee and chose Milwaukee when they beat the Jazz. I just have feelings on how they’re going to play, even though my production record is probably bad. I don’t think I have predicted a loss when they ended up winning, Except maybe the pre-curry injury Golden State game? But I have predicted to win many that we end up losing. The jazz is hard to predict because they can beat anyone. And while I don’t think that they are worse than anyone on a given day that they lose, they could lose to anyone.

Not the Wizards!

The record is decent. The past two years, they were below .500. Then in 2016-2017, they had a few days in November where they were below .500, although they corrected that by this date in 2016.

This year, they haven't been below .500 for a single day. But I think they've had an easier schedule.

Funny, this says the Jazz have the easiest remaining schedule:

This says the 5th easiest schedule:

This says the 4th hardest schedule:

297. Chicago Bulls at Sacramento Kings
298. Utah Jazz at Philadelphia 76ers

I think we missed both of these.

The latter game is done, the former is not looking good.

You've double posted your Sunday and Monday predictions.

I didn’t even know the first one posted. The first one is just a copy of yours. The second one is my prediction. A few changes. By the way, where do you copy and paste your games from?

I didn’t even know the first one posted. The first one is just a copy of yours. The second one is my prediction. A few changes. By the way, where do you copy and paste your games from?

1. basketball-reference.com.

I'll post the exact part in a minute.

2. I then paste it into Notepad++.

3. I then copy it from Notepad++, and paste it into Word.

4. I the set it as a numbered list.

5. I then paste it back into Notepad ++.

6. I then remove all of the dates. I then remove all of the times.

I then paste what's left back into here, and start BOLDing the teams.

I know I'm missing the "at" in between the teams, but I think I've done everything else that I can to fit it into your preferred format style.
