Chicago at MIAMI (205)

By Trace Adams, Featured Handicapper

First some book keeping to tend to. Yesterday's play on the Marlins-Cubs was rained out. The same pitchers are listed for today's single game at 2:20 pm et, so the play from Thursday night is STILL ACTION!!!

There will be no rain out tonight at Smoothie King Center where I own the winner of this Kings-Pelicans one game showdown for the right to play Oklahoma City.

BIGGER THAN Wednesday's 1000♦ Winner
- Yankees 6-4 at Blue Jays -

MATCHES Sunday's NBA 1500♦ Winner
- Magic (-6) by 25 over the Bucks -

I will NOT miss this release. That is a promise.

The Kings and the Pelicans for the Friday night money.

Whether he plays or doesn't play - Jimmy Butler the player in question - I am going to look for Chicago and Miami to land Over the posted price. By all accounts Jimmy Buckets who injured his knee against the 76ers and stayed in the game to play roughly 40 minutes is out indefinitely.

Both teams played Overs on Wednesday night in their play-in contests. The Bulls have now played Over the total in each of their last 5 games contested, while the Heat have landed Over the total in their last 3, and in 10 of their last 11 games overall.

Throw in the fact that 3 of the 4 season series meetings between these Eastern Conference rivals have also landed Over the total, including each of the last 3 and I think it best to stay with the established series and team trends to play the Over on Friday night in this elimination game for one of these 2 teams.

Chicago-Miami Over the total.

3* CHICAGO-MIAMI OVER
