Pepper McSausage Picks

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

I survived the Steven Adams prop yesterday; the game script went almost exactly like I expected. Perhaps I should’ve just bet the Rockets instead of taking some years off my life praying that the Celts could keep that beast off the boards.

It’s a beautiful NFL Sunday, so naturally, it’s a great day to bet the NBA again. I’m too enthralled with the NFL to reminisce about my mom today. Sundays make the best distraction days.

Today’s pick: KON KNUEPPEL OVER 14.5 POINTS

He has looked like absolute shit the last two games. Especially yesterday. But there’s a beauty in back-to-backs for youngins to not stew on past regrets. Now I’ll admit, I LOVED this line more at 12.5 when LaMelo was potentially playing cuz I just needed Kon to stay aggressive from three and hit some more shots. Now today, with LaMelo likely out, he’s probably going to be asked to play make more and won’t be tee’d up for easier shots off LaMelo. Perhaps this is for the best though….perhaps Kon will experiment with his shot selection and get to the line more. The Jazz play at a high pace and have been a bit of a defensive abyss to guards this season, so the opportunity is nice. Not sure if abyss is a good metaphor for describing ineptitude, but life is all about experimenting, isn’t it?

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

Pick record: 4-1 (thank you Steven!)
