So how did last night's Lakers loss affect me? Definitely my biggest betting chunk of the NBA season. Still stunned honestly. I shall eat Ramen Noodles for the rest of 2024 (would anyways) and shall stick pins in a voodoo Anthony Davis doll (would anyways). Also I sold hair like gift of the Magi and broke two plants and accidentally injured what was either a coon, rat or possum. Otherwise good. Boston could win by 50 if it wanted to but why would it? Road game sandwiched between two other NBA title contenders -- the only road game in a span of six total for Boston.

The Celtics have won seven games by at least 10 points this season. Payton Pritchard scored at least 14 points in five of those games. That included a 20-point win over the Wizards in October in which Pritchard scored 15 points. In total, Pritchard has scored at least 14 points in 10 of his 15 games this season. He is also averaging 17.3 points per game on the road. He could play a lot in a potential blowout, leaving him with significant scoring upside.

The Wizards are going to be the worst team in this league and after hanging tough in some games in the first few weeks the bottom is falling out. They cannot stop anyone and they play a lot of kids who are overwhelmed and they will lose to Boston by 20+ again. They have lost 9 in a row (1-8 ATS) with 6 of those losses by 15 points or more and 5 of 20 or more. Celtics again have top 2 +/_ in NBA and outscoring teams by 10/G. Their second team can beat this group with ease
