We continue on having lost one of our contestants and two others hanging on by a thread.
Round 3 GamesRound 3 Games
- Cavs @ Boston
- Hornets @ Nets
- Nuggets @ Grizzlies
- Pelicans @ Mavs
- Thunder @ Spurs
- Jazz @ Lakers
We don't have odds for these games yet and there are injuries galore, so proceed with caution. I'm leaning towards the Mavs, who should make easy work of the Pelicans.
Picks due by tip-off on Tuesday.

Let's say 50k, since I know we'll get there soon.
Lakers
Better hope @realBitcoinDog's wrong about them.
In what sense? Did he say they were going to win the Cup?
Of course he did
Lakers aren't winning the cup. They will lose in the first round of the playoffs.
I initially mentioned them in my post, but then I looked at their remaining group play opponents and they could easily sweep.
You think they will beat the Thunder? I expect Thunder to win that group and Lakers to finish second.
I expect OKC to win, but the size mismatch is extreme. Unlike most teams, Bron and AD know how to play bully ball.
I’m going Mavs!
I’ll happily do the same pick as @Undisciplined, but no way I’d do the same pick as @grayruby if he picked my precious Lakers.
I will join you in your Lakers fandom for one night.
Obviously, you need to save your Lakers for their title defense.
Obviously
Mavs
I talked him out of taking the Nets so let's see how this goes.
Good call, that was Siggy's pick.

Fortune favors the bold
Will you update with the odds tomorrow? I’ll need em please 🙏
Yes
I might even do it tonight, if they're available.
Sweet. But yea since @grayruby is betting on the Lakers it means he’s jinxed them and Jazz will win!
