Sixers versus Celtics was the real dagger, I mean the game was not as close as the score looks, Sixers were reaaally good and I can't believe how amazing they played against a potential playoff rival.
They were down in the first half but they come back strong in the half and hand the celtics their 3 losing streak.
These two might be a potential East Finals players if Bucks will not make it, and I think Sixers always has the edge, they are the better team IMO.

Portland one was simply condition problem, everyone looked horribly tired and that resulted with them losing easily.
This team has been so inconsistent, hard to bet on them, they are not their old self too, they added Melo, hopefully he is not the bad luck in the team.

Seriously OKC beating rockets on Westbrooks return when Westbrook played with 50% is a big big shock to everyone, I know OKC is 7th seed and plays a decent game lately but felt like this could be the first of many losses that will set OKC back to what people expected, I guess not. Cavs versus Pistons wasn't really as weird as people imagine, I mean pistons lacking Griffin means all they have is Drummond who is a good player and a washed up Rose thats nowhere near his old self, Cavs are horrible as well but not like pistons were going for finals this year neither.

I wont also bet for Dallas this time considering on lack of main line up but they do still have chance yet they do have a good bench
players compared into other teams.

But they are still the favorites to win, how come?

Maybe it's best to bet Dallas in first half but they should not be trusted in the 4th quarter as they messed up last game.
Normally Luka would start strong in the first half, and the court familiarity is the advantage of the Dallas here.

Hi guys, what do you think about the game between Lakers and Mavericks? Dallas has an advantage since they playing on their home court but their last game they loss on Lakers, so I think its a better chance for them to Come back from losing to Denver Nuggets with only 1 point lead. I'm betting on Dallas since Luka is on fire streak with 37points against Nuggets. I'm sure he will score more basket this time.
I would not bet on the Mavericks, for this reason.

Last game they lose because they can't stop the Joker, now who will stop Davis and their bigs int he paint?
NO KP is really a problem....

Having no porzingis on the court would really be a big loss for Dallas.He might not really be that recognized due to Luka
but when it comes to paint defend and offense I can say that this tall guy do really have that big role.

Now we have two teams that are surprising us this season, namely the OKC and the Mavericks  but OKC is the hottest right now, they are more stronger compared to the Mavericks IMO because their PG does not have to score much to win, he trusted it with his teammates and he make them better.

we have lots of games tonight and I like the Lakers vs Dallas match up, Dallas is currently -1.5 and I don't know if KP is already available,
anyone have an info?

Oklahoma City Thunders.
Should Houston regret giving away CP3? He is really giving his all now. It is almost like he found his righteous place.  Grin

Gallinari had been a good roleplayers ever since.
And then there is Adams who had already been contributing a lot ever since.
I think that name is whom OKC will keep for a long time.

Then there is Schroder and Shai who had been enormous also ever since Westbrook was traded.

I will be betting for this team next time with the right spreads.

Definitely it's worth betting on them as they are mostly betting underdogs on teams that are in their higher ranking.
AFAIR, I have already won many times betting on the OKC thunder, this team is really good, if they lose they still cover the spread so I won't fade them.

What a game for the underdogs tonight.

113 OKC - 92 HOU.

Would would have thought that OKC will win at that number, it looks like they dominated the Rockets easily and they really are still going to the right direction now. Rockets only scored 92 points, that's uncharacteristic of the team because they are a high scoring team. J. Harden tank tonight, scored only 17 points and it's not his usual scoring record, they allow WB to score but he is very poor in 3 point shooting.


I'm also amused with how OKC workout containing Harden and snatch this game with a huge leads. It's really showing that they are very under estimated but being well managed by the coach. Good win to everyone especially to those who bets with ML.

Additional, Cavs snatched the game tonight it was unexpected since Piston really played well with D. Rose and Drummond leading the charge, OT give Cavs the chance to grab this in great game.
Pistons are cavaliers are just some of the teams in the east that really struggles, I like to see a discussion more about the OKC and Rockets game because we saw how great the OKC has become now, and PG although not as athletic as Westbrook but he is smarter compared to Harden and westbrook and he is one big reason for their success now.

What a game for the underdogs tonight.


115 CLE - 112 DET. What a performance here by Tristan Thompson posting a career high 35 points with 14 assist.

OMG! My money was on Detroit yet they lost. Anyways, a loss is a loss but how come the lower seed Cavs beat Detroit. It would have been a Detroit win if they played a bit of a defense in the last minute of the game.

It was actually intense for Detroit at the first up until to the third quarter.
They cannot preserve it though.
During the 4th they are pacing out. Drummond still did a good job though and so is Rose. They really need more roleplayers to step up.
Win for me. Yey.

Wow! I never even imagined that. CP3 revenge?
Want to watch this game. Is it intense too? Are they banging up each other?

What a game for the underdogs tonight.

113 OKC - 92 HOU. If you watched the game you must've watched Chris Paul giving away so much sauce on one play. Threw the ball behind the legs of the defender and then swiss it right off the basket. James Harden 5/17 FG, a tough night for him. But WB had a great night scoring 34 points in the game. The next game of OKC would be the LA Lakers and I wonder if we can see another Rondo - Paul action just like last year.

115 CLE - 112 DET. What a performance here by Tristan Thompson posting a career high 35 points with 14 assist.

109 PHI - 98 BOS. I put Phili in underdogs because of not having Joel Embiid. Just a quick update on his injury, he has a torn ligament on his left hand. I thought that this was a minor injury because of the technology we have today yet it is a little bit dangerous. And still Phili came up with the W without Embiid. That's where Richardson came in the scene as he scored big 29 points with 7 rebounds.

116 MIN - 102 POR. Our man of the game is Wiggins having 23 points 3 rebounds and 8 assists. What do you think guys? Is this would be the season in which Wiggins could revive his career? He was named as a lazy player due to people saying that he lacks practice.

Freaking monster Drummond is having a good night.
24 points and 17 rebounds already in the 3rd. With the help of D.Rose everything is going well for the Pistons.

There is still a fourth and this two might be exhausted by now filling in for Griffin and other players.
I still hope I can win this bet with the Cavaliers even for the spreads only.  Grin

81-71 as of now Pistons lead.

Congrats on win... That was a close one yet there would be a 2nd OT if Rose do able to go in that 3 point shot.. Well played by love though on last minutes of the overtime. Tristan Thompson made 35 points.

Moneyline does give him a better profit, that was Pistons int he beginning but Cavaliers did not give up and they were able to in after the OT.
I feel like I wan tot start on heavy underdog again because things like this could happen.

of the 4 games today, only cavaliers which is a road team who won.

The Utah Jazz offense has been the NBA’s best through the last 13 games. Here’s why

Offensively the Jazz are at a high point for the 2019-20 season. They have shot a league-best 39% from 3-point range and have the best true shooting percentage in the league at 60.8 since Dec. 11

https://www.deseret.com/sports/2020/1/8/21055956/utah-jazz-offense-nba-best-last-13-games-nba-basketball

According to the article your shared :

Quote
Georges Niang, who is shooting a team-best 53.2% from beyond the arc since Dec. 11, said the addition of Jordan Clarkson to the team really gave the Jazz a boost that was not exactly expected but more than welcome

Even before reading this, I already noticed that they get better when Clarkson was added to the line up, he earned good minutes and they trusted them so his talent was more useful with the Jazz, some think that Clarkson would not fit but look at the Jazz now.

Looking at sportsbet.io, there are moneyline options for all teams involved. Detroit has 1.30 odds to beat cavs, which looks quite possible and doable even without Blake Griffin honestly because Cavs have been dsyfuncitonal for a long time now, however 1.3 doesn't really worth it if you ask me, if it was over 1.7 I would have definitely wagered but 1.3 doesn't give you enough chance to win much on such a risk.

 There is celtics versus sixers, sixers have been not quite good recently and celtics just lost to spurs as well, it will be a very risky game for both sides, both sides wants to get back on the horse and start winning again but I feel like neither team will be on their %100 this game at all. Celtics are at 2.11 on moneyline, I suppose that looks like a good bet, not saying they will win for sure but at least its good odds for them to beat. It will be back to back tho, so I can understand anyone betting on sixers as well.

 Portland will definitely beat Wolves or at least they have to, it shouldn't even be close, this is basketball and even the 73-9 legendary team of warriors inevidently lost 9 games, so anyone can lose at any night and this is much much closer than warriors versus anyone back in their peak. However blazers are clearly the much better team and should win this game easily.

 Rockets versus OKC is a game I have no idea about, I mean it looks great on paper and we all would pick Rockets if were asked on the spot, however OKC has been playing a great game lately and I am not entirely sure if they are willing to stop now, it will be better matchup than sportsbooks allow it to look like, I doubt there will be a blowout like the odds suggests but %90 sure rockets will win anyway.
 

Wolves have a beat record but they are a young team that can score in bunches at any given moment.  Portland looks like a tired team right now they dont look good either.  Dame is def good but this team shouldnt definately win against anyone, even the knicks lol kidding.  I think this one will actually a tight high scoring game.  Neither team really plays any defense honestly if you watch them.  It's a who shoots better on this night that will win it
