Pepper McSausage Picks

A pick a day until my mom comes back to life.

A new month. Still no mom. But I figure if I gamble well enough she’ll come back to tell me she’s proud of me…not a tall task considering I might be starting a bit of a heater. Jalen Johnson cashed fairly easy yesterday. I love that man. My mother once thought I loved men. I think she would’ve been okay with it, but luckily for her, I have fighting chance at creating a legacy for her. I think she had fully given up on my brother managing that before she passed; she had once alluded such to me in the Panda Express parking lot.

Not much mom talk today. I’ve had my fun opening up the last few days and I’m a bit fried. Plus, I’m downright terrified of today’s dia de los muertos pick, too much so to think of anything else but the anxiety of watching the Rockets play basketball.

Today’s pick: STEVEN ADAMS UNDER 6.5 REBOUNDS

What the fuck is this line? I feel like they’re baiting people into taking his over here. And rightfully so, he’s covered this line in every game this season and nearly covers this line in offensive rebounds alone. With that said, people are heavily on the over and the line still hasn’t changed. Fishy. If there’s ever a game for this man to play only a few minutes, it should be the Celtics. They’re already generally undersized, and the Rockets are huge even without Adams. But… and a big but here. He’s absolutely capable of covering this line in even like 5 minutes against the Celtics size, so perhaps I’m the fool. The Rockets should dominate today and if they do, I feel comfortable that Adams will be out of the game plan entirely. Should they struggle, Ime will probably throw Adams in there to bully the Celts and that’s where we’re probably screwed. So here’s hoping the Rockets start fast and sustain 😀

Good luck and, as always, I’ll see you on the other side!

Pick’s record: 3-1 (thank you Jalen!)
