Three very close games (in terms of spread that is) but I was on the right end of each of them. That's now three (?) days in a row where I made money and I'm approaching the grand mark. Now is when I start wishing it wasn't fake money. But it can go away just as easily. I've shown both extremes in the last 10 days.

It's Thursday, which means there's the TNT doubleheader and usually nothing else. Today, however, the Knicks and Bucks play in London. It'll probably be pretty ugly, games that are played across the Atlantic usually are.

The Games 1/15

Milwaukee (-6.5) over New York. Played in London, I think the Bucks will continue to play decently and the Knicks will continue to play poorly.

Oklahoma City (-1.5) over Houston. No real reason, I think the Thunder push a playoff team as they continue their hunt for the postseason.

Cleveland (-6.0) over Los Angeles Lakers. I don't trust the Cavs, but Los Angeles can bring out the best in players, especially Kevin Love who is not having his best season but loves to return to Southern California, where he's from.

Happy Thursday
