Congrats, the Celtics managed to win this in 2nd OT, they've able to outscored the Clippers in the second overtime. Tatum, Smart and Hayward combined minutes and scoring statistic was  good. This eastern contender is showing that they've really have the competitive assets.
That double OT was really entertaining. They are 2 of my favorite teams this year's conference and I'm amazed to see that Celtics still got the power despite of losing Irving. I knew it, there is really a curse of Irving lol Grin. Hmm, if they were able to beat one of the top contenders in the West (can even beat Lakera), does it mean this is a sign that they can be the East's representative for the finals? Well, my bad, it's early to predict and I almost forgot that Bucks was there. I am sure Giannis won't that happen so easily Cheesy.

28 minutes 31 points against the Blazers last time. Great contribution.
Almost 2nd half, suddenly the Thunders took the lead.

Last night Zion played 31 minutes, scoring new career high, 32. He is amazing, basically breaking his record in each subsequent game, but i think that coaching staff at Pelicans should use him less, and put bigger restriction on his playing time. Getting into playoff this year shouldn't be priority for them, as even if they grab that 8th sport ( they are not that close either, 5 games behind Grizzlies) they will loose in the first round against Lakers, so no point push that and risk Zion getting injured again.

Who is watching, Boston vs Clippers went to OT.

it's an entertaining game so far, both teams showing their real offensive power, and hopefully my Celtics would win this game.
117-119, clippers on the lead now.

And welcome to the double OT now,... that shot of cold blooded shot by Shamet tied the game and Tatum miss the game winning shot.

Let's see what would happen in the 2nd OT.. more minutes they'll play, more fun to watch this game.

AD abused that late in the game and even during OT, AD also realized whenever he was outside Jokic didn't came out that much, so he shot couple of threes as well.
AD was so confident shooting 3s, he is one of the big man in the NBA who have good 3 point shooting.
The weakness of the Nuggets was revealed here because there is no substitute for Jokic that could defend and could generate points for the team.
And because Jokic has to defend and score, that makes him struggle in this game.

However this game goes to Lebron easily, dude played like the Lebron we all know and brought the game home, he may have missed the last shot at the end of regular time but he was the one that brought the game all the way there as well so it was ok for him to miss it.
We can tell with his 14 assists, he was really facilitating the team an they make them better.

I took the Nuggets to upset the Lakers tonight. I think Jokic has been playing great recently and it's always tough traveling to Denver.
Sadly to say that they've loss in the overtime, AD and LeBron's combo manage to snatced this game from the Nuggets, The power duo
bring the game in their shoulders to lift the entire team in winning this game.
It's almost a good catch for you if Nuggets manage to continue the rally from the third period, but Lakers able to catch up and win.
Jokic is a very very smart player but people forget about the fact that dude is not ripped at all or not even as athletic as any other center of this era. He is a modern day player with his "point center" type of amazing passes, he has great handles, however when it comes to running or jumping type of physical attributes dude lacks a lot.

AD abused that late in the game and even during OT, AD also realized whenever he was outside Jokic didn't came out that much, so he shot couple of threes as well. However this game goes to Lebron easily, dude played like the Lebron we all know and brought the game home, he may have missed the last shot at the end of regular time but he was the one that brought the game all the way there as well so it was ok for him to miss it.

Clippers showed their heart, however, they should do more to win the western conference versus top teams like the Lakers , Nuggets and the Rockets during the playoffs.
That was a close game and I think it's right to conclude right away about their performance.. actually they almost get this win but unfortunately they fall short in the 2nd OT, by the way they are just in 2 losing streak now but in the road so it's quite acceptable as they lose against good teams who are playing very good at home.


They also should stop losing on the road. This will harm them during any playoff round.


They will stop that soon for sun as they are a legit team which are a championship contender as well.

Either way 1 game is one game I wouldn't make too much of it other than the nuggets are one of the top teams with the lakers, clips etc.

it's already twice that the Lakers beat the Nuggets, the last one was one December 3, 2019 in the same venue.
https://www.landofbasketball.com/head_to_head_gl/lakers_vs_nuggets_game_log_season.htm

while we can't say that Lakers dominated them as NUggets also beat the Lakers on the road but unfortunately I am not convince they are good enough as no Lebron james that time.

https://www.landofbasketball.com/box_scores/2019/1222DENLAL.htm

Lakers by no means dominated the game.  They have equally beat impressive teams on the road.  How about the nuggets beating the bucks on the road?  Season is a marathon and you cant say oh they beat them by a bucket in the regular season in feb so come may when they meet in the playoffs nuggets will lose.  Health is a big factor always that we dont know about yet so lots of season to go.  Both look decidedly good enough to go to the finals

I was referring to the number of games they have played so far this season, and it's pretty clear that Lakers dominated them since they are 2-1 against the Nuggets, and the fact that Nuggets only won because Lebron was not playing that time, that tells me Lakers could have won if lebron is there because it's their homecourt.

You must have not watched the game the lakers didnt dominate the nuggets.  If jokic shot that 3 pointer at the end vs hesitating and ending up turning the ball over it's a different ending.  It went right down to the end that isnt "dominating".

It's still too early but actually OKC are good on the road so they might win this one, if not, at least they'll cover the spread.

I bet on the OKC here ML and +2.5, so I am on the other side, hehe.

Tonight I bet on OKC at 2.3 odds to beat the Pelicans. This year they're already 3-0 vs Pelicans. The only thing different tonight is that Zion is going to be playing for Pelicans, so I guess depends if you think Zion will wreck havoc tonight with Pelicans wanting to get to the playoffs. There is a whole media narrative around Zion and Pelicans making playoffs now, will it come true?

We cannot rely it all with Zion. Putting too much weight on his shoulder is not good. That injury might come back if forced.
That is also why they are not giving him much minutes.
 Ingram must also work it out but he is injured so this is a big minus for them.
But there is Holiday which is also one of their aces.

I'm betting tomorrow for Wizards against Knicks.
Hehe.

This was the game that I'm asking you guys yesterday and that was a victory for the Wizards. I think I'm starting to have an idea to bet with this kind of team rather than the known ones.

But, there's no guarantee win on it.

Good win to you. For me, I'm not really betting on Moneyline at those teams who are statistically equal whatever the odds are. Handicap and Over and Under points might be considered though.

Anyways we have our own way how to choose our preferred bets so keep it up if it will work on you in the long-run.

That was a good game between the Lakers and the Nugggets. Jokic was out matched by Davis down the stretch and overtime. Jokic is a good center offensively, and I think he needs to improve on the defensive end. That what separates him from AD.
Good job by the Nuggets anyway not giving up and easy win against the number 1 in the West.

I might disagree with your observation about Jokic. He is already improved. He isn't outmatched by Davis. That was Lakers who shine that night but if we take this into series, there will surely be a night that Jokic can dominate Davis in terms of numbers both offensive and defensive.

Try to look at their defensive stats on that night, there is not much difference.

Jokic and AD are 2 different players both great in their own respect.  AD can completely dominate and take over a game.  Jokic is better getting his teammates involved and his court vision is like chris Paul's, there is nothing he doesmt see its like he is playing a couple seconds ahead of everyone else.  Either way 1 game is one game I wouldn't make too much of it other than the nuggets are one of the top teams with the lakers, clips etc.

Just to be safe I am still going for a little handicap.
Denver Nuggets +1.5 @ 2.09 money line. I think that is not a bad deal.
There is a normal one though with 2.23 at the money. What will you take?
Lakers are on the lead now, per my book.. Denver is already +6.5 live now.
Even with +3.5 they will lose.
Oh crap! I hate losing but I will have to admit it.
This is one of my largest losses in my sports betting games.
I really thought they will be doing well against the Lakers. Moving on.

How about the Celtics game against the Clippers?
Clippers @ 2.02, I will add this one on my bets.
At home I like the Celtics, they had a bad game against the Rockets, I think they are ready for a win and they will bounce back hard.
Looks like Jaylen Brown is still not gonna play - https://www.rotoworld.com/basketball/nba/player/30298/jaylen-brown
This  is one of my chances to get back.
If Jaylen will not be playing then Clippers might really win this.
Gotta go for a big one again to equal the losses.

 Warriors being valued that much will hurt the owners in the long run. They had an amazing run and they will probably still be a good team when everyone comes back but they are no longer the dynasty they used to be. They have a new stadium and thats great, they will probably make more money in the long run, however they are still not a Lakers type of deal just yet. However I do understand about the Lakers and Knicks because they are at a great place to be a basketball team, even when they lose, they still get a full house no matter what because of where they are located. Knicks are just an entertainment thing for probably the biggest and richest city in the whole world, even London have two soccer teams. Lakers are the same for los angeles which is basically the holywood elites and the rest. So how much a team worths is rarely about how much they win.
