Bad news comes from Bucks, Khris Middleton will be absent for 3 to 4 weeks after suffering an injury to his left thigh (bruised wound). but the good news is that there are no serious internal injuries to the legs. in my opinion, the role of Pat Counnaghton and Sterling Brown would be needed by Bucks during Khris's absence

NBA trends that got me interested
1. Luka averaging almost a triple double so far this season (the best rookie since Lebron, now on his 2nd year and is doing better than Lebron in his 2nd year.)
2. Raptors keeping up the good work after Leonard left (enough to let the Raptors fans know it wasn't just about Leonard)
3. Celtics became even better after Kyrie left ( which I expected ). The last time they faced the Cavs in the ECF without kyrie was a pretty good line up and rotation. So, that was like the sign for the Celtics that they dont need Kyrie anymore.
4 Ingram is a legit future superstar.
Phoenix Suns will face Los Angeles Lakers tonight, both teams have a great begin of season, Suns with 6 wins in 9 games will be a great contunder for the Lakers who lost the last game after a 7 wins arrow, well I think Lakers will search the win tonight and I'm sur that they can do it, I will bet for LA Lakers to win this game.
Still close in the half time, Suns rotating the ball very well making good contributions from every players, this young team already build good chemistry and they use it to compete. While in the other side, Lakers is also doing the same, each players inside the court are also making its own contributionsthis is a good game to watch and I'm also backing the lakers to win this game.
Lakers taking the lead now but this is still a close game and either team could win in the end.
Proper distribution of points for both teams are happening here, as 5 players on both teams already scored a double digit.
Good for the suns as they are shooting in the 3 point line very well, they are shooting 50% thus far.

We are seeing a good game now between the Lakers and the Suns,.. 
I'm really surprise on their journey in this season lately, they are always competing whether they play on the road or at home.
Good luck to them, hopefully they'll be able to give the fans some kind of happiness by winning the game against the Lakers.
Saric, Rubio, and Booker, they are the most consistent in the team IMO.

Injury updates though.
Lowry with left thumb fracture, which had been a problem before.
Ibaka with Sprained Ankle.
Hoping that those injuries are not that bad unlike Curry's. I really think that warriors made Curry's injury look bad because of the current roster. Anybody thinking the same way as I am? LOL. Lowry with left thumb fracture, which had been a problem before.
Ibaka with Sprained Ankle.
Reports say that Lowry will missed two weeks, but Ibaka case is different, as he needed crunches just to be able to walk. Good thing is that Chris Boucher is really stepping up, a former Warrior and G-league MVP, he is filling the role perfectly.
Pascal defense is still underrated, but look at how him and the rest of the team put a good defense and lock up Kawhi, he got 9 turn over, his most if I'm not mistaken.

That's bad for the Raptors, surely there will be an impact on this report to their incoming games.
However, the team should be thankful that the injury was not serious enough that would require them to miss like months.
I am not actually aware of this injury so I made a research on Ibaka's status and I confirm that he got injury.

I'm a Lakers fan and surely I hope they do win for today's match with Phoenix Sun but this team also in the top team of the west, you can't ignored their good skills plus too many shooter on their side. Though we knew how persistent is James, I hope some players step up too like Kuzma and Green which on their last game not really score much. Even in our sport's betting in our local, Suns have an odds spread of +4.5 but still my bet is on Lakers, Im sure most of people will bet also on them provided their team is really powerhouse.

Lakers will play without Anthony Davis and can be considered as an advantage of these underrated team Suns. We know Phoenix Suns have that "kicks" inside and they already show their power to the most dominant teams like Clippers and Sixers.
But on the Lakers side, we know James' capability even the main lineup is incomplete. Lakers still have that strong lineup even Davis was out. Let's see how Phoenix Suns will handle James and the Lakers in front of their home crowd.

I think the best value for tonight is the Blazers to get the win at the ML so I got a single bet on them to win and I also got a parlay with the Blazers at the ML, Pacers at the ML and Suns to cover the +3 spread. I actually like the Suns to cause an upset but to play it safe I got them to cover. The odds for the parlay is $6.30.
^^ Siakam was dealt or shall I say rewarded with a huge $130 million, four year extension max contract. And he is really showing that it by playing his best basketball year so far, as the offensive anchor of the team. And the thing with Toronto is that they are low key, which means that maybe just because there's no more Kawhi, they are taken lightly. But they are all wrong as Toronto is showing that they can do it with or without Leonard.
Here's the official news regarding the contract extension https://www.forbes.com/sites/curtisrush/2019/10/19/pascal-siakam-agrees-to-four-year-130-million-extension-with-toronto-raptors/#43545ab76594
I can say that he deserve this big amount because he played hard and he has improve a lot last season.
He got his first championship and get a good salary, I think this guy is blessed.

Right, the Raptors has been in the fight the whole game.
They have a good defense in the fourth but they are not hitting their shots because the Clippers also put a good defense on them, VanFleet was block 2 or 3 times if I'm not mistaken.
Just imagine if their second or first scoring option Lowry play and Ibaka in the middle, Raptors are still to beat even without Kawhi on their line up anymore.
You're absolutely right! They showed Kawhi that even though he left them, they could still beat his team. And I must say, Pascal Siakam did pretty decent in limiting Kawhi Leonard on scoring. Yet his free throws save him. Is Boucher a rookie? Man, he got some guts taking the posterize from Montrezl. Most players in the NBA are too afraid getting posterized but he, he has some guts. Great game still for the both teams. Most probably this could be a game changer when PG is there.

Boucher used to be a GSW player, and won a ring if I'm not mistaken.
I agree that Siakam put up a solid defence against Leonard in this game and Toronto could have won this if they just hit their shots on crucial moments. I think that Toronto is still the team to beat in the ECF, specially if Lowry and Ibika come back strong after their injury.
I guess that experience of going to a hard grind last year and win the trophy with Leonard really give them the experience and the players gaining a lot of maturity.
That's right especially on Siakam who has been the offensive anchor for the raptors. I believe that their championship experience has dug up their morale to pursue their playoff run this season.
It's a team game and this isn't just an individual game though there's an impact for those core players of them but still they are in the professional scene and their training even harder than this kind of condition.
Exactly, their coaches knows how to manage their time so let's still expect that tonight it's gonna be an exciting game to watch. Leonard to face his old team and will prove that they are no better team without him but Raptors refuse to accept that and they will prove they are still a good team even if he leaves them after they won their first championship.
All teams are looking not that bad don't you guys agree? I mean sometimes one team plays amazingly and the other plays bad but on average there are like 10 teams at least I love to watch right now, NBA became such a league suddenly in one off-season that I wouldn't be shocked if any team won the ring.
Are you forgetting the Golden State Warriors in your count? If we are talking about the balance changes or how teams are equally performing well then you are wrong since the Warriors are looking like a lottery team with just two wins in almost a month after the season has started. Even with Steph Curry still playing together with DLo and Draymond they still manage to lose against the Suns and the Williamson-less Pelicans. I don't know but I think they are really tanking this season in the hopes that they could bring a big rookie back in San Francisco just in time when Klay and maybe some key pieces they will get from the DLo trade they will have for the next season.
Hoping that those injuries are not that bad unlike Curry's. I really think that warriors made Curry's injury look bad because of the current roster. Anybody thinking the same way as I am? LOL.
And that's making a lot of memes on different social platforms on what's the current state of Golden State Warriors now.

Right now, there are Clippers,Lakers,Rockets,Bucks,Sixers,Raptors,Boston and even Denver looks good, Spurs started out the season amazingly and I love them to death but they failed to recover and now back on 5-5, I wish they could actually pull it together because they all have the talent but it looks like they are missing the fire. All in all there are soo many games we will have fun this season, regular season is more entertaining than last year and I love it but with time I am pretty sure playoffs will be even better!
