Tonight I like the heat as 7.5 dogs to the 76ers.  Heat already down one game should be ready to play.  76ers play a slower game if the heat can get them to speed it up a little they might even have a shot to sneak a win in here.
You might as well want to check the injury report of the Heat line up.
these are the players that are out for tonight's game.

Quote
D. Jones Jr.
J. Johnson
D. Waiters

all out indefinitely.

J. Winslow
G. Dragic
U. Haslem

If Embiid will be out tonight.. then maybe that would help increase the chance of the Heat to win.
With the injuries listed above, do you think the current available line up of the Heat can cover that spread?

We will see now the Mavericks playing without luka in the whole game against the streaking bucks.
Las time against the heat, they rally in the 2nd half to make it a close game, can they do the same with the Bucks here or even stop the streak.
IMO, i think they will struggle as they lost a PG and their main scorer so buck here could probably dominate the Mavericks.

I'm thinking you are right.  Think the bucks are only favored by 10, I can see this game get out of hand early and see the bucks leading by 10-15 by halftime alone.  They are the real deal, excited to see the bucks lakers game soon.  Bucks -10 should be a decent bet.  Can see a 125-100 type of game here.

Dam that was a complete miss.  Tough to guess what happens to the team when a star goes down, sometimes the team rally's around that or the other team softens up I guess.  Tonight I'm big on the suns +13.5 against the clippers.  DeAndre finally comes back and will make a difference here.  Think the clips still win just not by 13.
If it's his first game, I might observe first, usually in the first game player will adjust first after missing many games.

Good luck mate, hope you'll get it right tonight.

Dam, didnt know booker was sitting....that hurt.  If booker plays that obviously a closer game.  Suns were playing without direction without him out there.  Been on a pretty bad streak here lol.  Tonight I like the heat as 7.5 dogs to the 76ers.  Heat already down one game should be ready to play.  76ers play a slower game if the heat can get them to speed it up a little they might even have a shot to sneak a win in here.

With the match of the Bucks and Lakers, I will still go with the Bucks even though their win streak is over already. What happened to them against the Mavericks is just a choke I think Cheesy.

It's not a choke.

Mavericks were able to protect and maintain their lead most of the time. It's a choke if Bucks dominates the whole game then Mavericks steal that game. I don't know why others are putting other reasons why Mavericks won. They played at their best and that's the only reason, nothing else.



I think a healthy Philadelphia team beats the Bucks in the Playoffs.

They have never faced in playoffs for a long time now. The last intense playoffs experience of Milwaukee Bucks is their bout against the Boston Celtics (2018) on which the series took to Game 7. And a year later (this year's playoffs), Bucks got their revenge to the Celtics with Kyrie Irving on-board, but failed to breach the NBA finals because of Kawhi Leonard and the Raptors.

During the past 3 seasons, Bucks do have a 6-5 record against the Sixers. This season, they never faced-off yet but it will happen a few days from now. I hope both teams are healthy in that game.

Lakers and Bucks will going to  start the winning streak again trying to make history for most win.
Yes they have to because their winning streak was stop, Lakers could have a better chance if Davis was able to play, Lebron just can't carry the team alone even against the Pacers. Anyway, they just focus now on maintaining their good record, winning 10 times then loss 1 game is already outstanding.
I never expect for this streak break happen in lakers too early and maybe one of factors which AD isnt there and you cant really see on whats lacking when it comes to paint scoring.
There isnt really that much gap though yet it do end up only with 3 points difference.Im not underestimating pacers but you cant really know on who gonna win the game.
Also that Sabonis is pretty good.

Do you guys think because Lakers and Bucks have been unreal this regular season, they are the top chances now to reach the finals together? I mean at the start of the season everyone was saying Clippers had the biggest chance to win the cup but nowadays it looks like they might have fallen to third spot in many peoples eyes.

I still don't know who I would say can get the cup because when playoffs come the injuries play so much role and there is no team with 3 or more stars anymore so if one star is injured the other may not be able to carry the team so if Lakers lose Lebron or AD they could get eliminated, clippers could lose Kawhi or PG and get eliminated, bucks could lose Giannis and get eliminated. I mean with this much parity I can't see who could win but if everyone is 100% healthy with no injury, I would say Lakers could actually win a cup after years of being so bad.

That's part of the game, if you watch the game, you'll see how confident the Dallas Mavericks are, Bucks were only able to make it a close game due to the big effort of Giannis and even in the dying seconds he does not give up, but he alone can't win against the Mavericks who are playing good team offense.
I agree with that, if you will be looking with how good the rotations of Mavs and they've got the same system without Luka, this team really improved a lot and they are keep proving their worth as a team and not just a franchise who only rely with Luka's sensating games.
While with Bucks, Giannis efforts is not enough he needs more from his teammates to step forward and lift the team.
Teamwork and synchronized moves would really be crucial on where members of the team doesnt really depend on one player or a superstar.
If ever theres an injury, then they can simply compensate on whats lacking and never tended to be dependent.They play as usual rotations and
those high percentage of success when it comes to shooting.They really prove out that they arent only good just because Luca is there.

Anyway, they just focus now on maintaining their good record, winning 10 times then loss 1 game is already outstanding.

Pacers won, 105-102, coincidence that the longest winning streak on the NBA was broken just a day apart? Lebron James almost got a triple double with 20 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists.

And now Bucks and Lakers are going to start their winning streak again by facing each other.

The Bucks ended their winning streak yesterday against a Luka-less Mavericks and a day after that, Lakers also ended their winning streak against the Pacers. I don't think that there is a coincidence with it. Maybe they are just destined to lose right now for some reasons Cheesy.

There are no coincidence, we might have seen streaks by the Bucks and Lakers ended. They did play very hard but it's just the other team play very well.

With the match of the Bucks and Lakers, I will still go with the Bucks even though their win streak is over already. What happened to them against the Mavericks is just a choke I think Cheesy.

I wouldn't call it a choke, if they have a huge lead and then collapsed in the fourth against the Mavs then yes. But even in the closing seconds, they did everything, it's just they fell short.

Competition is getting tougher as the season mature, and I guess the top team on both conference is definitely the Lakers and the Bucks. That is if both their key players are healthy as the season goes by.

Because they are in the top spot now in west and east?
I think it's too early to tell, there's a lot of possibility and who knows team like Dallas or Rockets will climb to the highest,.. in the west, Bucks rival only the Sixers and celtics  but in the playoffs it's gonna be a different story.

In the west, I like the CLippers and maybe Sixers in the East.

Yes, that is just the way it is.
It can be any team. This is also why they are almost celebrating when they reach the playoffs. It is already an achievement and they do enjoy it before preparing for the more intensive fight.
76ers is one of the good competitors when it comes to the playoffs in the East.
Remember they almost defeated the Raptors if Kawhi didn't make that lucky roll.
And so does the Celtics. They also defeated a strong 76ers even without Kyrie before. (injury)

@vella85 - so it's really a trap as Pacers won.

This is going to be interesting for both the Bucks and the Lakers on which team will still prevail on top of the competition. Too much drama so let's get this straight, no matter how many losses this teams will have as long as they reach the playoffs, there will be the start of the true battle.

Definitely, playoff is a true test. However, at this early stage we're going to see how teams or which one of them are the team to beat. So right now, Lakers and Bucks are setting the tone early. Although there's a lot of good teams in both divisions, they have the upper hand this regular games. We will see if they can maintain it specially right after the all star break next year.

Clippers going to have their revenge tonight, but the odd for the Suns are really tempting, so if a bettor put a little amount on suns, it would be fun.
46-38, slowly the Clippers are pulling away but this could change as it's still very early to conclude.
Just saying good luck for the brave bettors, Suns might win but with a slim chance.

That is what happened.
Even with garbage time they cannot still make it.
All +14 lost the game. Even with +20 on the line.
It really is bait.
I guess a lot of gamblers did lose from this game using the history of Suns from defeating strong teams.

They need to show this kind of spirit even Luka is out and they did well.
Actually the last time against the heat, they rally but they fell short, that could have been a win for them.
Luka is good but this team is recognize this year not only because of him, but because they have overhaul, improve their line up and it seem like they found the right mixture to be successful, without a doubt, they can win games on any team as they beat the Bucks which is one of the best team in the NBA.

Yeah correct. Their chemistry seems to be doing well.
Powell who had been really enormous with his offensive rebounds and there is Kleber who is gaining more confidence shooting at the 3 point line.
Dorian also contributing much for their offense.

They are all beginning to be real role players now.
It is not just Luka and KP anymore. If they could keep this is up then there is no doubt they might snatch that championship even with power teams on the West.

@wheelz1200... how about Suns winning here because of Deandre is back?

I like the odds because it's x10 on moneyline. With this kind of odds, sometimes it's tempting even against a good team playing at home, we know that suns are also capable of winning so maybe we will see some upset tonight.

For me, the Moneyline odds is not tempting. The one tempting is the spread whether the - for Clippers or + on Suns.

But the choice is yours. Playing at the Staples Center, Suns is struggling, Clippers do have the best home record, I'm not seeing any upsets here. But for the +13 Suns, I think they can cover it.

The ball is round though, the choice is yours.

A win maybe at garbage time. It is starting now although I didn't bet here, I just want to watch the Suns if they could defeat the Clippers again.

Odds are good and there is really a chance for it. Good luck to your bets.
+375 for 1st half win but the Clippers are breaking the Suns. Pass.

+700 for the total. I will pass for this one.
