Whew. Tuesday night was a doozy. Having 20 of the top 25 teams in action was a whole lot to keep up with. It is important to not overestimate teams’ first games, but there was certainly some important points to keep an eye on when placing bets as the season progresses. A few thoughts on bets from yesterday:
1. Duke is something special. Will Zion Williamson, R.J. Barrett and Cam Reddish go off like this every game? Of course not. Did this Duke team show enough versatility and explosiveness on offense, as well as a commitment to lock down both individually and as a unit on defense?
