Dear rcade,
Should I have received more points for the Mavs and Clippers wins last week since I locked them? Or was I too far off on my point spreads?
Best,
NoMich

So, has the ship sailed on my locked games from last week not being counted as locked?

It's fixed now. I overlooked your boldness.

Back to the important things in life. 76ers came through for me at the end, so we're off to a decent start.
Wednesday, Dec. 11:
Clippers are in the middle of a long road trip. Raptors could be a tough matchup for them. Los Angeles (non-purple) by 6
Pelicans are in Milwaukee, but not for a beer. They might need copious amounts after this game. Milwaukee by 15 SLAM
Thursday, Dec. 12:
We'll cheer for Al Horford, boo loudly for the rest, and watch some good basketball too. Boston by 5
Nuggets will have their first game at home after a road trip. Jamal Murray is hurt, but we don't know how badly. This could be a bad night for the Nuggets. Portland by 9
Friday, Dec. 13:
Lakers visit South Beach, and enjoy the Heat. Los Angeles (purple) by 13 SLAM
And in the meantime, Clippers odyssey on the road continues. Minnesota by 10

The networks flexed two games this week. TNT swapped out Heat/Hawks on Tuesday in favor of Nuggets/76ers and ESPN dumped Warriors/Jazz for Clippers/Timberwolves. You know things have changed in the NBA when Golden State is a team ESPN doesn't want to broadcast.
