Last night: 2-5 -2.8u
YTD: 73-66 -2.6u

Bad picks and regression to the mean both hurting me, coming back down towards 50% and horrible recently. The last couple days, my intital impressions with overnight plays were solid, going 3-1 on Tues and 2-0 on Wed, and then the followup plays on gameday were terrible, going 1-3 on Tues and 0-5 on Wed. Perhaps I should limit myself to initial strong plays on overnights, while I work through this bad stretch.

Anyway, the LAL/Uta U was taken last night, so I'll stick with that as my only side or total for the day.

Off the record, it's a light day, and I took a flyer on a couple WSEX player props, Terry +3.5 against Parker and Okur +1.5 against Odom. -115 is a lot of juice, but these lines look pretty soft. Terry is taking a lot more shots than normal and scoring a ton with Josh Howard out. Odom is streaky, is more of a passer in the Lakers scheme anyway, and goes up against a tough Utah defense, guarded by shot-blocking monster AK.
