I enjoyed Watching the Celtcis vs the Mavericks, it's a close game and it seems like the Mavericks has a chance of winning this game.

Luka Doncic still leading the Dallas Mavericks, and he might not tally a triple double here but a win against the Celtics is a big success.

He will likely just end up having a double double and a win, and I like to see that happen.  Grin

Are you guys willing to gamble on the Raptors ML here?

its odds is 5.20, isn't it very attractive?

and this one is attractive too, raptors willing 11+ @28

Too risky. Even with a good medical team, therapist or whatever they call it.
This bet might get larger later before the 2nd half if the Clippers will take just a little lead.

It is attractive though as I am now getting intrigued of how much energy the Raptors will give even with the consecutive games against strong teams and now on the road. If exhaustion will be seen later on, then it will be a sure loss.

Not bad for Raptors, I'm an all time Lakers fan and really didn't expect that game with Toronto will be an unfortunate lose provided an home court advantage. Ive joined a betting competition as well, with a +9.5 for Toronto vs Lakers but still my pick is for La lakers. Anyway still a good game shown by the lakers indeed. Raptors has utilized also the points from bench players which was a whooping 43 total points.

Still salute A.Davis for leading the lakers team and wih help of triple double points of Lebron James though he hasn't score that much. Anyway is still to early I know Lakers will be one of the team to seat on finals games.
We seen how the bench help siakam to snatched this win against the Lakers, it's intense if that 2 attempt of Kuzma materialized chance for Lakers to comeback still be there. I just don't understand why the ref did not call Kuzma's layup his hands been hold not to execute the easy basket. That also can change the game tempo as Lakers are rallying and trying to muscles up to comeback. But credit really deserve by Raptors they show up strong and dedicated.

Maybe the ref on that side court didn't noticed it but it is surely a foul and should have given Kuzma a free throw. When the score reaches two digits, Ive said to myself that my team would lose already, those bench players really helped siakam and that monster is really creating points for Raptors on the entire game. They deserved that win actually, they've shown they still have the champion charisma even Leonard is not with them anymore.

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.

they face clippers with a tired and horrible Jetlag situation back to back after Lakers.
There is no jetlag anymore, the game is still played at the same arena since Lakers and Clippers are both LA team.
Maybe there's a fatigue factor since Raptors has to play a back to back games, but believe me, they are professional and they know this, so it isn't a big issue here.
There won't be enough time to rest for the Raptors but I think they've been in the same situation even before. Sleep, rest and enough food shall make their recover quickly within 24 hours.

Right, usually NBA teams had massage therapist with them, so just a good night sleep and they are ready to go. So if they show the same resiliency agains Lakers, they might have a good chance to have a back to back win against those LA teams.

The difference between the Laker game and the clippers game is that (even tho clippers still could be a great team compared to Lakers or not) raptors faced Lakers on a fresh leg brand new day, they face clippers with a tired and horrible Jetlag situation back to back after Lakers. It doesn't matter if it was Lakers or not, if they played clippers first and go to Lakers later they would have been losing to Lakers as well.

Obviously, we can't really know if they will actually lose or not but that just feels like would be the case considering everything that happened in the last 24 hours. Is this the first time Kawhi will play against raptors? I mean he playing in Los Angeles against raptors doesn't really have any importance because him going to Canada will be a great big deal but it is still an emotional thing for him I am sure.

I don't think that it is fair enough to compare different games with each other.
Even if they face Lakers or Clippers under different circumstances the goal always is to win the game. Fatigue comes later on the season and when we are at the start of it, it is not an excuse.

After the Lakers, the Raptors team is going to face another powerhouse in the west (Clippers). 

Clippers can take this one as it is also their home court and the Raptors could be a bit tired from their battle with the Lakers.
The defending champs might have that extra motivation to kick their former teammate's ass though.

Who is your pick?
This is a hard pick, Raptors did an impressive punishment to the Lakers today and we can't ignore that.

However, everyone won't deny how strong LAC is and the possible choice for this match.

To beat the lakers and clippers in back to back games wont be an easy task.  My money would be on the clippers.  I think Lowry is still out for the rapters, that's a big loss on their side.  With a rested clippers team at home I'd pick them.  I'd also put a wager on the over for this one as well.
Yeah, it's not going to be an easy thing for the Raptors but as we have an unexpected result for their match against Lakers.

This may go on to an unexpected win against Clippers but obviously, many of us would go for LAC.

Yeah second game of a back to back on a different coast is brutal.  Put that together with facing a top nba team and it spells loss...usually.  it will be tough for them to pull off the LA sweep away and my money would be on the clips that they dont do it.

Luckily, it is just a bruise and they still won the game.
Their next game will be on Friday so I guess he could play at that time.

This though is not a lucky man.

$834,000 for his 10 game suspension without pay and he is also hurting the Heat for its rep.
He better straighten or he will lose millions of dollars next time.

Jet lag is one of the problems players faced each day and it's kinda of a normal thing in the NBA and this is one of the adjustments a rookie player should be adjusting to. Even if you think that the Clippers is tired of having a tight schedule, remember that Kawhi got his load management days ago and I think that it will compensate for the team.

I just hope that Canada will welcome Kawhi in open arms just like Derrick Rose is in Chicago. He brought the bacon to Canada at least one time that's why I don't think we can see the hate, the boos and etc from Canada.

They really played good against the Lakers, specially their defense, however, it seems they put everything in the like with that game and could be tired as you have said.

Who is your pick?

I will go with Clippers here, although they have the momentum, their body are all tired with that Lakers win and Clippers are well rested and are well prepared.

Who is your pick?

Clippers is obviously the favorite to win on that match, but -8.5 spread is a  bit high for the Clippers. I mean the Raptors are still in good shape with Siakam leading the stat sheet after Leonard left Toronto. They could still kick any team's ass with how they are playing early in this season. LeBron's less aggression offensively isn't even an excuse for the Lakers loss today. Raptors just showed how the champions work.

Probably I will bet on Raptors +8.5.

The raptors might be winning against the powerhouse clippers. Why? Because they have the momentum against high ranking team and Toronto was just fresh from their championship stint last season. So yeah it's more likely I will follow to bet on the raptors +8.5 this time around.

I do think that Clippers will win but I'm still contemplating on the spread.
I might also go for Raptors at +10.5 as I don't think Clippers will win by double digits.



If Raptors will not be tired in their game tomorrow, their is a high chance that they will cover that spread.

Remember that they just beat the Lakers and the Lakers home court, so its not a different story here, Lakers are Clippers are both team with the same level and actually Lakers was the better one based on their standings.

Last game by the Clippers, they win against the Blazers but it was only due to late rally, but that was only a 6 points win IIRC, this is +10.5

Who is your pick?

I will still go for Clippers here. They are purely rested and that is one advantage.
As you said, the Raptors might still be weary from the game against the Lakers and also it will not be their homecourt so that will add up to the exhaustion.

Raptors had been great with their games and I am actually shocked when I see them fight against strong teams.
But this is the Clippers now, they might knew how Kawhi play but that doesn't they can stop him for every play.

My pick is the Clippers because they are fresh, but I will bet on the Raptors @ +10.5 as they just beat the other LA team.
