Why are there so many Wingstop memes after the Pistons win against the Raptors?

The Detroit Pistons’ long wait is finally, finally over. They may officially be the (joint) worst team in NBA History after losing 28 (yes, twenty-eight) Game s in a row , but they at least managed to end 2023 on a high by defeating the Toronto Raptors . Wingstop chicken wings all round. Cade Cunningham stars as Pistons hold on to break record losing streak Point guard Cade Cunningham led the scoring with 30 points and 12 assists, while some clutch shooting from Bojan Bogdanovic, Kevin Knox and Alec Burks got Monty Williams’ team over the line for a 129-127 victory. The Pistons had been eight points up after the second quarter and did just enough to hold on as the Canadians threatened a fightback in the third and fourth. With a 3-29 record in 2023-24, Detroit unsurprisingly remain in last place in the Eastern Conference but there has at least been some good news for followers, most of whom are unlikely to look at the standings until their team has posted another few victories.

NBA Player Props Today - Best Buddy Hield Props | Pickswise

We’ve tallied four straight wins in the NBA player prop world and will look to continue that streak today. Let’s dive into our best NBA player prop bet for Game s on Saturday, December 30. Also make su re you also read our NBA predictions for today’s Game s. Buddy Hield, SG, IND, Over 17.5 points/rebounds (-125) Line available at FanDuel Sports book at time of publishing. FanDuel is currently the only book to offer this player prop bet at the moment since Buddy Hield isn’t a starter.

Hield and the Pacers will take on the New York Knicks, who are playing their second leg of a back-to-back after losing last night to the youth-driven Orlando Magic that had starters play upwards of 35 minutes – nothing new for a Tom Thibodeau coached team. In the absence of Bruce Brown, Hield is slated for another 30+ minutes tonight. With...

Best NBA Player Props Today - December 30

All three of my three favorite NBA player props bets for Saturday, December 30 have something in common: I’m making NBA picks against teams that played last night or are down key pieces due to attrition. The season is a grind, and catching an opponent on the right night is often the difference between mediocrity and greatness. Today I’m aiming to capitalize on how both will impact the NBA odds. Best NBA player props today Cade Cunningham Over 25.5 points ( -120 at DraftKings ) Buddy Hield Over 3.5 threes ( +135 at Unibet ) John Collins Over 5.5 rebounds ( -144 at Unibet ) Picks made on December 30 at 6:20 a.m. ET.

Thunder vs Nuggets Picks, Predictions & Odds Tonight - NBA

Image
The Oklahoma City Thunder and Denver Nuggets are just two of six teams to hit the rarified 20-win plateau just over a third into the season. Fitting then, that the two meet in the rarified air of Ball Arena in the Mile High City on Friday, with the two teams trying to chase down the West-leading Timberwolves. Denver, riding a six-game win streak, is a 3.5-point favorite in the NBA odds.  Read below for my free Thunder vs. Nuggets NBA picks, and find out if OKC can snap the Nuggets’ fun run. Thunder vs Nuggets odds Thunder vs Nuggets predictions The Denver Nuggets will be playing their second game in as many nights after drilling the visiting Grizzlies by 37 points on Thursday.  It was Denver’s highest scoring output of the season, again paced by big man Nikola Jokic, who put up 26 points, 14 rebounds, and 10 assists for his 11th triple-double of the season. As a team, Denver shot a blistering 57.3% from the field, including a lethal 20-for-41...

Suns vs Warriors Picks, Predictions & Odds Tonight - NBA

Image
The NBA loves few things more than a superteam, and the newest attempts at one will highlight NBA opening night. Neither the Phoenix Suns nor the Golden State Warriors completely reinvented themselves this offseason, but adding Bradley Beal and Chris Paul, respectively, will make for some interesting adjustments early this season. Will the Suns already look like the Western contenders they expect to be with the addition of Beal? Well, more so than they already did? Probably, but there may be a better angle to attack tonight. Let’s find it in our free NBA picks for Suns vs. Warriors on October 24, with tip set for 10:00 ET. Be sure to also check out our best Steph Curry prop picks.

Stephen Curry Odds & Props - NBA October 24, 2023

Image
The 2023-24 NBA season tips off on Tuesday night with an epic Western Conference doubleheader. Today I'm turning my attention to The Bay Area and the Stephen Curry odds where he and the Golden State Warriors host Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns. Curry, the four-time NBA Champion, and two-time MVP, enters his 15th NBA season with his sights set on one more title run. NBA odds have Curry and the Dubs among the favorites and this matchup against KD and the Suns will be a great early test. I'm looking at Curry-specific NBA player props for this matchup and hope to drain my NBA picks like the Splash Brothers drain threes. Make sure to also check out our Suns vs. Warriors picks and predictions for even more ways to bet on NBA opening night.

Best NBA Parlay Picks Today, Thursday 12/28: 3-Leg Parlay at mega +595 odds: Doncic keeps Mavericks in touching distance

The NBA brings another 8- Game slate with itself on Thursday night. There is a double-header on NBA TV that will tip off with the Detroit Pistons looking to end their record 27- Game losing streak against the Boston Celtics. That will be followed up by a cross conference match as the Miami Heat visit the Golden State Warriors. You can see out NBA previews here, but for now let’s dive right into my mega parlay for tonight. IND Pacers -1.5 (-110) DAL Mavericks +10 (-110) Over 227 in Hornets vs Lakers (-110) Parlay odds: +595 Indiana Pacers -1.5 over Chicago Bulls (-110) The Bulls have been 21st in the NBA in offensive rating over the last 5 Game s, far behind the Pacers who rank 7th in that category. The Pacers should have the advantage of the second unit, with scorers like Buddy Hield coming in. The Bulls will be relying on Ayo Dosunmu to carry their second unit scoring wise, but he has hit double figures in points just 4 times in their last 11 Game s. The visitors wil...

What is the altitude of the Denver Nuggets arena? Does it give them an advantage?

The Ball Arena is up on high Constructed in 1999 , the Ball Arena serves as the current home venue for the Denver Nuggets of the National Basketball Association (NBA), the Colorado Avalanche of the National Hockey League (NHL), and the Colorado Mammoth of the National Lacrosse League (NLL), having replaced the McNichols Sports Arena. At an elevation of 5,280 feet (which is equivalent to one mile) above sea level, Denver is located at an understandably high altitude. Truthfully, most people from lower elevations do not fully appreciate the impact of high altitude locations on their health and physical capabilities. Living at such heights can cause a number of unpleasant symptoms associated with altitude sickness until the body gradually becomes accustomed to the lower air pressure and decreased oxygen levels. Imagine for a moment that you have never exercised or hiked at a location that is at a higher altitude than sea level. It stands to reason that you will experience a notice...
