i had a similar situation with a 16-leg parlay on draftkings last month that came down to nikola vucevic getting just ONE more assist in the magic vs pistons game. this man had 9 assists with 6 minutes left in the fourth quarter and proceeded to play the most selfish basketball i’ve ever witnessed in my life. kept trying to score instead of facilitating and i’m sitting there watching my $2,000 potential payout evaporate in real time. the worst part is earlier in the parlay i had survived some absolute miracles had the under 45.5 in a texans game that looked dead when they were up 28-7 at halftime, but somehow both teams just stopped playing football and it finished 28-17. also had some random czech hockey over that hit in the final minute of regulation when some guy i’d never heard of scored an empty netter. but vucevic… man, that dude single-handedly destroyed my faith in nba player props. now every time i see him play i get vietnam flashbacks of that night. the craziest part is he finished with exactly 9 assists and 0 turnovers, so it’s not like he was having a bad game – he just refused to pass the ball when it mattered most. basketball gods have a sick sense of humor sometimes. never betting on magic players again, that team is cursed.
