Lakers won against the Rockets by 9 points on the road.

Harden and westbrook scored, 34 and 35 respectively but it's not enough to beat the Davis less Lakers.
They are so good right now, it's hard to beat against the King especially when other role players are stepping up.

NO davis but the Lakers had Pope and Kuzma to step up, and they are so strong in the paint, which has 9 blocks against 4 only by the Rockets.

Rockets are playing russ and the beard too long. It is good they are in a good pace now but this is the reason that they dont work out in the play offs. They play at least 10 minutes each quarter. Even if they are not injured, they would be overrun by fatigue.

Both of them dominate the points and this won't work against the top contender in the NBA, maybe on weaker teams they will have the success but when it comes to playoffs time, it will be hard for them to beat a team that played good defense and work like a team.

Nuggets, Jazz, and even OKC, I doubt Rockets have a chance on winning in a series.

Their offense is no 2016 warriors of course but by comparison their offense is not really that bad anymore, it started the year bad but nowadays with LMA going out more and Derozan going in, they are actually doing decently on offense, unless they figure out a way to improve their defense, I am sorry but they will miss the playoffs if they don't get their defense any better.

But when you look at the minutes. DeRozan had been playing for 38 minutes. That was really exhausting. Then, 33 minutes for Dejounte.

It was just a 1 point lead though, so they still made a good job back there considering they are against a powerful three pointer team.
I would still give it to the Spurs for stepping up now.
Defense might not be there at the fourth but as I said, they could be tired.

But looking at the points made at the 3rd. 41 for the Spurs while 21 only made points for the Hawks. They really stopped them from giving a good shot.

Kings being banged down hard at the 1st.  Cry 20 point lead now at the start of the 2nd.

It is okay, it is the Jazz though. They might really be angry losing that winning streak.  Grin
They will again start a new winning streak, they are really good at home, no wonder why the odds is -9 and they still covered it.
Clarkson had another great game with 20 points off the bench, when this guy is going, good things happen for the Jazz.

Denver Nuggets vs Indiana Pacers tomorrow. This will be a good view of defensive strategies.
Will definitely watch this game.

-3.5 for Nuggets  @ 2.18 on the money. Yeah, will bet just for fun.  Wink Lets go Nuggets!

good odds, even without Jamal, I think they can still pull a win at home, GL!

Yeah that was a weird moment, that has happened before as well in basketball.

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glz9m98N_N0

 Here it is the video of it, sometimes these things happen for no reason at all, I guess players have miscommunication and it happens, not a common thing of course but its not the first time ever neither. Funny part is, they changed the rule book because of these mistakes, when there is 6 people on the court they used to "had to count" the basket because they can't retract it by rule, now if a team has 6 people on court (like last night) the basket doesn't count, thats a logical change in the rules if you ask me.
Funny video yet the clip that I was talking about isn't included in here. It's funny how NBA players sneak out when they realized they were six on the court. And being six in the court is funny when sixers do it for they are not to be called sixers for no reason haha. Instead of the change, I think the proper call for that is a technical foul don't you think?

I would rather pick the other game, like the Blazers vs the Thunder, in this game I would go with the Thunder.

Thunder has to bounce back, Blazers will be tired as they just played against the Dallas Mavericks and this is a back to back against the Thunder who are aiming to bounce back in the winning track. Good luck, I like the OKC in this game too, and if CJ will not play, OKC will sure hammer them.
Both teams losses their previous games, just like you it's good to pick OKC since they've got much deeper and balance squad unlike with blazers with only limited players to score and with the news where CJ might not be on this match chances is much higher for the Thunders to win this game and go back to the winning  spot.

Spurs lost once again, and this time they were actually playing very well and beating but couldn't stop the last 2-3 minutes of attacks and there was plenty of three pointers shot during that span, not just Trae young (who had his fair share). I don't get this team, Pop is known for good defense, they always played hardcore defense for the past 25 years, they had a new rookie Dejounte who literally got all-defense team honors, and yet right now they are playing horrible defense.

Their offense is no 2016 warriors of course but by comparison their offense is not really that bad anymore, it started the year bad but nowadays with LMA going out more and Derozan going in, they are actually doing decently on offense, unless they figure out a way to improve their defense, I am sorry but they will miss the playoffs if they don't get their defense any better.

I would say Dallas over Portland and Miami over OKC. I don't know the spread so I am purely talking about money line here, I already mentioned I liked betting money line over handicap before because handicap is not something thats easy to guess in basketball, sure it gives much better odds but thats just too much of an unknown to continue for me.

If you are in Miami Heat, yes, you should pick Moneyline. Not with the odds (although there isn't much difference in Handicap and ML odds) but the spread is quite risky to take as this team is almost an equal and match. The same goes for Oklahoma City Thunders.

If you are in Dallas, ignore that Moneyline since it's not worth it unless you will put a decent amount.  Instead, take the handicap. But take note, both handicaps given to Mavs and Blazers do have a chance to cover so it will now be based on who is your favorite. Blazers' Melo, Lillard and McCollum are making good averages on their last 10 games, win or loss. I'm seeing Mavericks will win here but Blazers might cover the spread. Or if you are confused, skip this game.

Dallas mavs and blazers game would actually be a good play to bang the over.  Portland is gonna come out gunning but their defense is terrible against teams like dallas.  I see dallas 125-110 win in this one

Ended up 120-112 pretty close.  I liked that over need to look at today's games.  So far  I like philly-4 against the knicks.  Knicks are terrible.  Also digging the orlando game today.  They have been playing really good, fultz finally playing towards his potential.

Anybody saw what happened during the bulls vs sixers game? Well they don't call sixers for no reasons. There comes a time on that game where they just played 6 people versus 5. This doesn't usually happen in the NBA but sometimes, it get through. It's funny though, hope you can find a clip of that.

Tomorrow will be Utah against the Sacramento Kings.
If they feel devastated after losing that streak this could be a win for the Kings. +395 on the money line.

Most likely to happen Kings is capable of beating above .500 teams. So, If you're feeling lucky, go grab it lol  Grin

Kings does not have a pretty road record, so I think I would not go with this, maybe at + points its possible but I think it's still risky as the Jazz are ready to bounce back strong at home.

The hell!!!
They can win against strong teams and now Pelicans can beat them.
What the heck is with this kids of the young Pelicans defeating strong teams but cannot even win against low seeds.  Grin
How much was the money line in that game? I really missed that.

I'm confused with this young bloods even when they're still in LA. They seems to have a very bright future in their basketball career but IMO what they lack before is the offensive consistency which they are slowly couping up this season. Ingram is now becoming a legitimate superstar, while Ball still working on consistency and efficiency.
Put in bold the main need of this team.
They are young though. There is still something ahead of them.
I would not let go of this kind of players specially Ingram. Although he had a bad habit of being a hot headed guy (youngsters are all hot-blooded)
he had the feat and physicality of being a great player.
This is like a Durant height and reach. If he could manage to perfect his shooting style then it could be his greatest asset.

have you seen the game between the Nuggets vs GSW.

That was indeed a thrilling game, Warriors are controlling the game in the 1st half but the Nuggets had a strong rally in the 3rd quarter and it was a close 4th quarter so the game went into OT.

I thought my DENVER -3.5 would win, but it didn't.. what a good game but I am not lucky to win.

Have you ever tried to wonder how they could predict that handicap?  Grin
They are really good right? How could they see the future.
That was a 3 point lead for the Nuggets win but bettors still lose against GSW. It was just really amazing how they do that.
.5 made the GSW win.

snip

There's a reason why that line was dropping, that attract a lot of bettors as the Warriors are a shitty team who are only +3.5 against the Nuggets.
IIRC, the line opened at -7 or -7.5 and it dropped that low, that should be so fishy, an experience gambler would not even touch that or bet on the Warriors as they seem to have a little chance to cover..

with that loss, warriors extend to 10 losing streak.

Yes, something like that. A lot of gamblers may have lose a lot of money here.

Looks like I managed to jinx Utah Jazz by mentioning their 10 wins in a row and good form the other day, they lost last night. Pelicans beat them 138-132 after overtime.

It was fun game to watch, Brandon Ingram scored career-high 49 points and lead Pelicans to victory. Mitchell had great game too, scoring 46 but that simply wasn't enough. As usual Jazz had crappy bench, except Clarkson all others were thrash, while Pelicans bench did their job.

It will be interesting to see Zion coming back, as this team definitely has some talent.

The hell!!!
