And this silent the critiques of Westbrook for at least some time with this kind of performance from him. Positive news for AD though, there seems to be a lot of development so hopefully they can make it to the playoffs and maybe he can play. Vogel should stop experimenting with smaller player, he should put Dwight their more often to play as the man in the middle.

It's tough for Westbrook to regain momentum while there are lots of criticizing him because of his poor plays. He should take that as an inspiration to work hard more. I know he's trying his best but it's just that, he's not the same as before.

I'm sure his teammates are giving him some good words of advice on how to deal with lots of negative reviews. LeBron lives on that since then but still making good production so I'm sure Westbrook can also be like that. Not with the points, not with the rebounds, not with the assists, and so on but on how to blend properly with his teammates regardless of who's on the floor.

They just have to make sure to get on the play-in to fight for the playoffs spot while waiting for Anthony Davis to return in action.

6- Sixers loss due to Simmon's low basketball IQ,... kidding.

Cheap shot. Cheesy

See, we don't like that. Social media will be filled with fake basketball analyst again if all this injuries will happen before the playoffs. We don't like that.

The game results today seems to not side with the spreads. Hawks was underdogs but they won against the Grizzlies. Lakers was +10 if I remember but they managed to win in overtime. That's one of their best games after their losing streak, except for the Lebron madness with two 50+ points.
My Nuggets team losing against the Cavs and Nets not covering the spread. A lot of gamblers might've loss a lot of money today.

It’s like a sigh of relief every time the Lakers get a win these days. They pulled it off tonight in overtime against the Toronto Raptors. It took a triple double by Russell Westbrook and a 36 point near triple double performance from LeBron James to pull it off. I guess a win is a win but it seems like they have to work pretty hard to barely squeak out a W against teams they should easily beat. Sad to see the old guys continue to struggle. They need AD back in a hurry if they want to make it into the postseason.

I agree. Good results whenever those MVPs worked together as a team and their stats prove it.
They don't even need AD for this to happen but of course, it will be a big plus. Just play like how they used to play and not be careless with the ball and play defense.
I see Coach Vogel is back to his rotation with Russ and Lebron being the center of it. That's nice. Dwight was given more minutes and there's Wenyen Gabriel 7/8 FG 3/3 3pts.
I know its to match the big men of the Raptors but he should do this more often.

Good thing Westbrook contributed big in this win, however, I'm still a bit worried if they'll be in the playoffs because the number of players that produces for the team is very small. In this game, only Lebron James and Westbrook were consistent, and sometimes Westbrook does not play the way he should be playing.

Yes, they really need to have AD back, and has to be back healthy and won't be injured in the playoffs again.

The Phoenix Suns won the Chicago Bulls by nearly 30 points. For the Suns, Booker scored 28 points, while Deandre Ayton had 20 points and 12 rebounds to add to the win.
DeRozan had 19 points and Vucevic 16 points for Chicago. But the defensive side of the team was a bit bad and they conceded a lot of points.
They lost the match because they couldn't play a good defense

Bulls lose because Suns is too strong for them in both offense and defense. Suns is proven strong overall by being number 1 seed in the west so that 30 points is understandable since Bulls is much weaker than them when we compared stats. Suns already secured there playoffs spot, they are just playing to win for the purpose of there good run this season. I hope that they will not choke this time when they manage to be on the finals. Although West team seems manageable for them this time.

I agree, it was not that there defense is poor, it's simply that the Suns are really a high caliber team even without CP3. They were games that Booker was not present and yet they still find to win games.

And with Booker back, they are tearing teams right now, winning by huge margin including a good team like the Bulls. It seems though that Bulls is on the slump after being one of the hottest team at the start of the season. Nevertheless, they could get back in the playoffs for this year.

I thought there's nothing wrong with Ben Simmons, I mean his not even seen the floor and yet he has some injury now?

But if it's true then definitely, they will need to win and make the playoff with Durant. So I guess this will be another bad year for the Nets and so much for the big 3 or even big 2 right now. So much has happen, now Harden is gone and then Kyrie's drama is still not over.

Simmons is definitely a strange player. First, he missed the bulk of the regular season due to mental problems, then he injured himself without even playing. To be honest, I even missed the moment when he managed to injure his back, although it doesn't matter.
By the way, the Nets are playing against the Blazers now, and I hope they will be able to win because they need at least three more wins to climb up the standings.

Nothing to expect from Simmons but Curry was there to help Durant, they managed to win the game today against the Blazers,

Curry with 27 points enough to help Durant who had 38 points. Not expecting a close game but Blazers don't give up that easy

giving a hard night for the Nets before giving this game. That 2nd quarter run gives bettors a chance to take a better odd favoring

the Nets, it's sure to deal if you bet during the live game.

Philadelphia 76ers - Dallas Mavericks... This is one of the impressive games tonight. I will be supporting 76ers to win this as I see them closer to a win. And actually I have started having sympathy for the team too. Because they are a really solid team now by Harden's joining the team too. Him and Embiid both are doing a great work recently. Mavericks are very lucky to have Doncic because he is their scoring source in nearly all of their games. His role was really huge in the close win against Nets in their last game. If he plays similar to it, 76ers might be in big trouble too.

I'm also betting on the Philadelphia 76ers, I watched the NBA games on tv, but these days I decided to start posting on the NBA games and that's why I started doing some research to understand everything, I'm still a newbie in this, but reading the post but internet searches I'm starting to understand

That's good, you can definitely get ideas by reading up posts right here like the team and player updates before the game stats. You can also have several opinions on where to place a good bet to a specific game.
When you watch NBA games regularly, you will never have a hard time justifying how to use the odds on any matches. What you will need to research is the possible players who were out for that game.
Good luck to your NBA betting journey!

New information about the seriousness of Ben Simmons' back injury has brought some concern into the Nets clubhouse. If they don't start getting a lot of wins they'll be looking at facing off with the Toronto Raptors in the play-in tournament. If that happens, they will be playing without Kyrie, who isn't eligible in Toronto or Brooklyn to play. I don't think anybody on the Nets wants that to happen. That brings a certain sense of urgency to them to even make the playoffs... They are expecting to have Ben back for the last couple of games of the year before the post season starts, but I imagine it would take more than a couple of games to get him into the swing of things. With KD on the team they should be ok, but they shouldn't ignore the issues headed their way either.

That is really a good news to hear that it was just a sprained injury and nothing more serious.

And then we have this noise that Marcus Smart was a dirty player on what he did against Steph and then the kick on Klay Thompson. Steve Kerr is very vocal about it and there was a talk between the two during the game and you can see Smart' shaking his head as if saying that he didn't do it intentionally on Steph.

I'm so glad it's not a major injury, he'll miss a few games and maybe some time will pass before he fully recovers. But still, it's great that he'll be back on the field soon. If he had not been able to play in the playoffs, there would have been a huge crisis.

That is correct, it's not that Steph Curry has a bad game, he suffered a bad injury that will sideline him indefinitely and it's a bad news for the Warriors are they are trying to maintain that second spot in the West. But with that lost, the Memphis is not a full game ahead of them in the 2nd spot. But they are going to make the playoffs so that's good news and hopefully Steph will be available by that time.

It could all change as the Mavericks with Luka and Dinwiddie are pushing for more wins. Tied with the Jazz at 43 wins while the Warriors at 47. It's not that far with 13 games left for the Mavs.
But there is good news despite the sudden injury of Steph. Draymond is there and so is Klay. Wiggins might also be back soon after being ill.
There is also Wiseman who had been recalled from the G-League, he is playing 20 minutes per game there. GSW is not a one-man team, strength in numbers.

Imagine how awesome they would be today if they didn't started the season horribly. They started the season with like 10th or so after the first month. That means that if they had a great start, they had a chance to be at the top right now, maybe still below suns since they are doing great.

Eventually they found their footing and have been great ever since and they are showing promise of doing something great at playoffs as well, they have that talent. Playoffs however are a different beast, it is not the same as regular season and we all know it and I feel like there is a good chance they could end up with something that is unexpected for them when they face teams in the playoffs.

Stephen Curry didn't have a good game and stayed at only three points last night. He didn't play too much and also maybe he was rested in this game I don't know.

Did you only look at the score? He wasn't rested. He was injured in the first half after he and Marcus Smart went for a loose ball.

Steph Curry will be out indefinitely after that left foot injury but some speculate that he could be back next month.

Lol

Clearly he didn't watched the game or even bothered to watch the full game highlights that's why he didn't knew that Steph Curry was injured and only looked at the score after the game. Anyways, after the incident Steve Kerr was really upset against Marcus Smart because he thought that he played dangerously but then he relaxed after they saw what happened in replay and Marcus clearly don't want that to happen either.

Here's the update about Stephen Curry:

Quote

According to ESPN's Ramona Shelburne and Adrian Wojnarowski, inside the Golden State organization, the realistic hope for the home team in San Francisco is that the player who has made the most three-pointers in NBA history will return for the start of the playoffs.

Source

He doesn't really need to rush his recovery in my opinion.

I think that the Warriors are extremely team oriented and as a result, they are going to be just fine without their big stars. We have seen this before when Klay and Draymond was out.

As long as Steph is able to make a comeback during the playoffs at some stage, it will suffice.

For now let's give him the benefit of the doubt, he is a tough defender and according to him he is just chasing the ball when that unfortunate thing happen.

Same with the Thompson case, it was a good fake by Klay, smart bite into it, but maybe he wanted to stop Klay and his foot might be his last defense.
