Wolves to start fast

[DZ]

Yes, I am aware of the Wolves flight troubles coming from Houston last night/this morning. Of course the Butler injury is tough, but will provide an early spark. Bulls starting Felicio again... that's all that matters.

All we can hope for is that Hoiberg keeps starting Cristiano Felicio and these early game bets should be automatic.

Thanks, OS.

And just to add that I would have played these all bigger had it not been for the poor travel circumstances of the Wolves. I would not be surprised to see them struggle a bit defensively in the 2H due to this and the lack of Butler's defense. LaVine should continue to gash them. If there is anything I regret in this game, it was overlooking the props on total points for LaVine and Wiggins, who averages close to 25ppg when Butler is out.

That said, I placed a small 1 unit wager on the Bulls 2H team total.

I'm surprised Minny kept the starters in so long,they had damn near 20 pt lead but didn't take starters out till less then 2 minutes to go.Didn't sit on the ball at all and I lose my under play.I was aware of Butler being out would hinder some on D but was expecting them to put in reserves earlier.Nice call on yours though!!!

Just a few notes on tonights Bulls/Nets 1st Qtr tonight...

Bulls did start Felicio again, although the lineups weren't officially announced until just a minute or two before tip (thanks Hoiberg!), so I couldn't get either of the props in on first to 10 and first to 20. I was able to sneak in BKN -1 for the 1Q just seconds before the game started, but no time to post, of course. The Nets easily got to 10 and 20 points first and they easily covered the 1st Qtr as well, despite being one of the worst 1st Qtr teams in terms of point differential this year. As long as Hoiberg continues to start Felicio, these early game props should be very profitable. The key will just be confirming that he's starting because despite Robin Lopez losing his starting spot at Center, Hoiberg has said that the starting lineup situation will remain "fluid."

And just so I am not misleading anyone here with the title of this thread, the play on the T-Wolves a few nights ago was NOT that, a play ON the Wolves, but a play AGAINST the BULLS IN THE FIRST QUARTER, so nobody should be going out and playing the Wolves again tonight.
