Can't Muster A Clever Headline Tonight

Some would say I never have. Very last minute post, but I've been concentrating on my drinking since storming out of the office this afternoon with a promise that I wasn't coming back the rest of the week. With that warning duly given, here's what I played tonight, lines from Matchbook unless otherwise designated:

NBA

Timberwolves +3.5 -103, 1.03 units to win 1 unit

Feels so wrong, it must be right.

Clippers -1 -109, 1.09 units to win 1 unit

I'm working on a theory that sometimes the better players win. Sounds crazy, I know, but nothing else is working right now.

Spurs -1 +102, 1 unit to win 1.02 units

I've been against the Spurs a lot recently as they've been getting public support despite their horrendous cast surrounding Duncan these days. But, the worm has turned.

College Basketball

South Florida +7.5 -110 (WSEX), 1.1 units to win 1 unit

It's been a while since Matchbook didn't have clearly superior lines in a given sport (they are awesome for baseball, not so much for college hoops). Virginia's 10-point "dismantling" of VMI doesn't inspire confidence in their hopes without Singletary.

Wofford +23.5 -104, 1.04 units to win 1 unit

A short trip from Spartanburg to Clemson to get your ass kicked. Still, if you're ever close to Wofford, make sure you grab a meal at The Beacon (sort of like the Varsity in Atlanta). Wait, that's probably not a good reason to bet on a school.....

Morehead State +15 +100, 1 unit to win 1 unit

A very different Drake team from last year, but the betting doesn't look like it.

NHL

Washington +122, 0.5 units to win 0.61 units

Yeah. Um, that Russian kid is supposed to be good, right?
