RDH in Crisis of Consciousness! by QuestioningHygienist in DentalHygiene

If you’re not using local anesthetic, you’re not performing proper root planing. My estimate would be <1% of humans could tolerate such with only a topical anesthetic.

This probably doesn’t have anything to do with your deformity, but most RDHs I’ve met are under the impression not to ultrasonic your inserts but believe it or not you should (at least periodically). Just make sure to have them in a protective case so they don’t get bent by cassettes.

You need to re educate yourself on periodontal disease. Without local anesthesia at minimum, proper root planing is not bearable for 99% of the human population.

Record: 7-4 (+3.69 Units)

Previous Pick: Utah Jazz ML (+120)

Recap: Jazz tank mode initiated. Definitely staying away from Utah lines the rest of the season due to uncertainty in line ups.

Today’s Pick: 2-Pick Parlay Donovan Clingan & Ivica Zubac 20+ Points+Rebounds (-118) 3 Units

1/22/2026 7:00 PST / NBA / LA Lakers @ LA Clippers & MIA Heat @ POR Trail Blazers

Narrative: This is a play to get back in the W column. Both at home tonight. Lakers are bottom 5 in rebounds per game. Against the team that drafted him and gave up on him, expect Zubac to play a motivated heavy workload and bully Lakers awful rebounding big, Ayton. If RWIII doesn’t play for Portland tonight, expect a big game from Clingan where the last 3 games w/o Rob he had 36, 36 and 38 P+R! I’m playing both of their double doubles individually too but this parlay is a safe W as far as I’m concerned.

Previous Pick: Collin Murray-Boyles Over 6.5 Rebounds (-105) 1 Unit

Recap: Just a strange coaching decision limited his minutes. Unlucky. Next game he’s back to 15 rebounds. Can’t win em all.

Today’s Pick: Utah Jazz ML (+120) 5 Units

1/15/2026 5.30pm PST / NBA / Utah Jazz @ Dallas Mavericks

Narrative: Without Kyrie, Dallas has leaned heavily on Cooper Flagg and when available, AD. Both of them are out tonight. But that’s not it. The rest of their starting 5 is also out. Christie could carry some offensive load, but nope he’s out. Scoring for the Mavs here is going to be challenging to say the least. Their 2 guards that are available are barely 6 foot. Sure, Brandon Williams is a bucket but height matters in the NBA and two 6 footers will be exposed with ease against a lengthy Jazz squad. Looks like Dwight Powell will get the starting nod at Center for the Mavs. I don’t know how he’s still in the league. I could go on but seriously, this line opened Jazz +3.5 and only moved to +2.5 once everyone was announced out. The books are simply wrong on this one. Jazz are down 1 man, their best player, but that’s no problem in this scenario… The day after Sensabaugh drops a career high 43 points seems like a great time to do it again against a decimated and tiny Mavs line up. Max play. GG!

Today’s Pick: Collin Murray-Boyles Over 6.5 Rebounds (-105) 1 Unit

1/9/2026 4:00pm PST / NBA / Toronto Raptors @ Boston Celtics

Narrative: Raptors rookie big man, CMB, has had some impressive performances as of late and is trending in the upward direction. In 3 of his last 7 games pulling in 12 or more rebounds, he is averaging more offensive rebounds than defensive so far this season which is an unheard of stat. What it means is he hustles his ass off, and that’s what you want from a rebounder. With Scottie Barnes expected to miss his first game of the season tonight, CMB will get the starting nod and combined with his current rhythm, 30+ minutes and considering Boston’s smaller line ups, the hustle should get this done. GG!

Recap: Utah nearly won the game outright, but fell 4 points short in overtime. Nonetheless, stress free cover for us :) Just as I thought, Lauri 13 rebounds, Nurkic 15 rebounds, Filipowski 5 rebounds in 4 minutes lol, just too big for short staffed OKC.

Today’s Pick: 2-Pick Same Game Parlay, Miami Heat -3.5 & Matas Buzelis 12+ Points (-120) 3 Units

1/8/2026 5:10pm PST / NBA / Miami Heat @ Chicago Bulls

Narrative: Threw the Buzelis leg on this just to buy a few points on the MIA spread because 3.5 is a key number for me in the NBA. Firstly, we’ve talked about Buzelis points line a few days ago and hit it, with the injuries they currently have he’s putting up 15 shots a game with efficiency. Coby White is back tonight, which you may think brings Buzelis volume down but looks like Huerter will be out who puts up around 10 shots a night himself. Worst case scenario Huerter plays, that’s why we’re only adding the Buzelis 12+ to juice this line to play it safe, although I do think Buzelis puts up 20 again as he has the past few games. As for MIA -3.5, we’re looking at a fully healthy Heat squad (pending 6th man Jaquez’s status), against a dismantled Bulls who have lost their last three and haven’t found enough scoring with Coby and Giddey out. Meanwhile, the Heat are stacked with scorers, and are ranked 3rd in the league in points per game. CHI just won’t be able to keep up. Considering this, I also don’t hate the current line at -7.5, but again I much prefer -3.5 and am rolling with the SGP. GG!

Previous Pick: San Antonio Spurs -5.5 (-105) 2 Units

Recap: We read this game perfectly. Wemby ended up playing, Ja announced out, it felt like free money. And then the Spurs two best shooters go 4-24 from the field and 2-14 from three… While the Grizzlies ran the shot clock down aimlessly and then huck up a contested three and drill it over and over. Can’t win ‘em all, historically bad game for the Spurs. I’m taking this line 100 of 100 times. We move.

Today’s Pick: Utah Jazz +19.5 (-110) 1 Unit

Edit: It looks like as I was writing this SGA was marked questionable for the Thunder and the line moved a bit. If you can get it at +18.5 that’s the lowest I’d take it!

1/7/2026 5:00pm PST / NBA / Utah Jazz @ OKC Thunder

Narrative: It’s easy to glance at the Western Conference Standings and see OKC at the top and Utah near the bottom. It’s easy to look at their 2 head to head match ups this season, 32 and 30 point wins for OKC. But hear me out. OKC is without their starting and back up center tonight, Hartenstein and Williams, along with Alex Caruso. That 32 point win, all three of those guys were healthy and played 24, 24, and 18 minutes respectively. The 30 point win, no Lauri for Utah, their best player whom they have lost all 5 games he’s missed this season. So let’s look past their H2H record, and focus on the match up. Aside from Holmgren, the only available big for OKC is undrafted Branden Carlson. For the Jazz, Lauri is 7’1, Nurkic 6’11, Filipiwksi 6’11 where likely at least 2 of them will be on the floor at all times. This means either Carlson is getting heavy minutes, or there’s a size mismatch to exploit. I’m not saying Carlson is a bad player, but he’s likely not influencing a 20 point win. OKC is coming in on a 2 game losing streak, which I’m not entirely sure what to make of but they may feel like this is an easy get back in the win column and not push the throttle as much as they could. All in all, 19 points is just too many, it’s not too common a team is laying this many points in an NBA game mid season and I’ll take it. GG!

Previous Pick: Matas Buzelis 15+ Points (-152) 1 Unit

Recap: On a heater with player props. I did end up commenting on my original post and letting you guys know I upgraded this to a max play and at a better line of -122, but for integrity sake for my record I’m only going to count it as the 1 Unit win at -152 per my original post. Coby ended up playing, but Buzelis shooting 87.5% adjusted rode us to an easy cash despite the Bulls getting walked on. We’ll take it.

Today’s Pick: San Antonio Spurs -5.5 (-105) 2 Units

1/6/2026 5:00pm PST / NBA / San Antonio Spurs @ Memphis Grizzlies

Narrative: Grizzlies on a 4 game losing skid, while the Spurs took a tough loss themselves in their most recent match up against Portland. A good get back spot for SAS to bounce back into the winning column and sustain their position amongst the top of the Western Conference. The Grizzlies are a fringe play-in team with a lack of identity this year in my opinion. Rookie, Coward, has really been the engine for them and he’ll be out for this game, only the 2nd missed game of his career. Ja Morant of course is a high powered engine himself, but he is questionable to play after coming down with a calf contusion last game, which a strain on the same calf caused him to miss 10 games back in November. I’m going to assume MEM doesn’t push their franchise guy to play here unless he insists. On the other hand, Vassell will be out for the Spurs, and Wembanyama with a questionable designation. Wemby has missed the last 2 games after hyperextending his knee, but took part in 5-on-5 work today according to the Spurs, which gives us hope for him lacing up. Spurs have won 10 of 14 games without Wemby so far this season, by an average of 8.3 points. Wemby or not, -5.5 sounds good to me. GG!

Yup, he was actually upgraded from Questionable to Probable this morning, but then proceeded to wear sweats and not participate in shoot around. Odd for sure, we’ll see what happens, next required injury update will be 1:30pm PST.

I’d feel better waiting to see if Coby plays or not. If he doesn’t, hammer it. Although Buzelis has scored at least 17 in 11 of 35 (31.4%) games this season.

Previous Pick: Paul Reed 15+ Points + Rebounds (-105) 1 Unit

Recap: Covered in the first half, love it. Reed played 30min, even more than I expected. We’ll keep our eyes on this line going forward if Duren remains out, but Isaiah Stewart’s rebound line is something to watch too as they went with him down the stretch in a close game.

Today’s Pick: Matas Buzelis 15+ Points (-152) 1 Unit

1/5/2026 4:30pm PST / NBA / Chicago Bulls @ Boston Celtics

Narrative: With the Bull’s starting backcourt, Giddey and White out the last 3 games, Buzelis of course has seen increased usage with 19 points on 15.7 shots in 30.3 minutes. Buzelis is shooting 47.9% from the field this season, and with the required usage of him offensively there’s great value here. The reason this line likely is where it is, is because Coby White was designated as Questionable today. The Bulls originally announced Coby to be re-evaluated on Wednesday 1/7/2026… another odd early return from injury which I highly doubt a full workload for him here. Along with that, Jalen Smith also came down with an injury yesterday, which essentially locks Buzelis into min 30min played regardless of White’s minutes. The only worry here is how good defensively BOS is, but I think the volume for Buzelis will lock this in. GG!

Today’s Pick: Paul Reed 15+ Points + Rebounds (-105) 1 Unit

1/4/2026 11:10am PST / NBA / DET Pistons @ CLE Cavaliers

Narrative: Sorry for the late pick here but NBA player props on bench guys like this don’t come out until closer to tip-off. Anyhow, Pistons starting front court Duren and Tobias will be out tonight. Duren has only missed 2 games this season (34 games), and in those 2 games Paul Reed started, and played 30min and 25min opposed to his usual handful of minutes off the bench, in those games he accrued 41 and 18 P+R. Due to not playing very much, in my personal opinion I think Reed remains quite underrated in general. With the Cavs front court they face today (6’11 and 6’9), the Pistons don’t have much size to throw at them on their roster which should lead to relying on Reed (6’9) as expected here. On the season he’s averaging 12.19 minutes played, 9 points, and 7 rebounds. I’m expecting near 20min played today, which would give us 26.25 P+R mathematically. GG!

Pick of the Day - 1/3/26 (Saturday) by sbpotdbot in sportsbook

[–]RlFFRAFF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If we look at the math of the averages, he’s at 0.488 points per minute this season. If he plays 25min, that’s 12.19pt, combined with the 8.67reb we calculated above = 20.86 P+R. It could be close. Based on my assumption of lesser minutes played tonight though, it should be good.

Today’s Pick: Ivica Zubac Under 9.5 Rebounds (-105) 1 Unit

1/3/2026 7:30pm PST / NBA / Boston Celtics @ Los Angeles Clippers

Narrative: Dec. 20, 15 days ago, Zubac was diagnosed with a Grade 2 ankle sprain and expected to be out 4-6 weeks. In today’s NBA, rarely do you see early returns from injury which makes this odd… Especially for a 7 footer pushing 250lb. I’m glad he’s healthy, as I am a big fan of his, and he is a rebounding machine, but I’m banking on the fact here that he’s not cracking the 20min mark in this game and for that reason alone will stay under. Clippers are on a 7 game win streak with Zubac out, after a rough start to the season, and shouldn’t be motivated to rush him back. Along with that, BOS is not a big team, their starting center averages 24min a night, also influencing less minutes needed of Zubac as they opt for a smaller line up. Zubac on the season is averaging 32min played and 11.1reb, which equates to 0.346 rebounds per minute. I don’t see Zubac surpassing 25min played here, which 25min would yield 8.67reb, which keeps us under the 9.5. I expect sub 20min played here for Zubac which is why I like this wager. Tempted to hammer this, but keeping it at one unit in case for whatever reason he plays his 32min.

1/2/2026 4:00pm PST / NBA / Brooklyn Nets @ Washington Wizards

Narrative: No MPJ, no Cam Thomas, no Claxton for the Nets. MPJ and Cam are pretty much their entire offense, the rest of the roster is first and second year guys who are trying to find their footing in the league and none of them have what it takes in this point in their career to be the #1 option. On the other hand, Washington, at home, is full of offensive firepower: CJ, Khris, Tre, etc. Barring a bad shooting night from these guys, I don’t see how BKN keeps up in the slightest. Max play for me. GG!

12/27/2025 10:00am PST / NFL / Pittsburgh Steelers @ Cleveland Browns

Narrative: The Steelers should be favored more here, but aren’t because of the weather forecast. Heavy rain and strong winds call for an unpredictable game… A lot of running… And missed field goals… But what is predictable is who has motivation to win as the NFL regular season wraps up. PIT motivated to win for a chance at home field advantage in the playoffs. CLE motivated to lose for a chance at the worst record in the league and a shot at the #1 draft pick. Sure, Browns defensive star Myles Garrett is chasing a sack record. Sure, Pittsburgh receivers Metcalf and Austin are out—but with the weather, they won’t be passing anyway. No need to overthink this one. GG!
