The current season seems similar to the last one, with the exception of the potentially longer run for both the rockets and the celtics, Of course, Warriors and Cavaliers are still the top picks and most likely candidates to reach even the finals IMO, the interesting part will start with the NBA playoffs when it's one vs one.
Timberwolves and 76ers are big surprises playing decently, Butler already got used to his place and the 76ers "Process" seems to finally bare fruits for the hungry fans, great achievement for both if they make it to the playoffs.

Rockets V WARRIORS CF coming up. cannot wait.

Winner of that wins the championship. Houston the value. Chris Paul is a stud.
Most probably they will face in the West Finals and I am also taking the Rockets to win against the warriors because of the odds, actually if there's a line available now for the Rockets to win in the NBA Finals then I guess it's worth taking. Anyone who knows what sportsbook offers that NBA Futures or the NBA finals odds, please don't hesitate to share.

Wow glad to see kawhi Leonard in the court again, but i do not expect great game for him because i know player came back from injury has a trauma and he need to get confidence again and make familiarization for his team mates, i think in the next game his game will back and help spurs give winning streak. Also wishing that he do not suffer for another injury again for the rest of the season.
He is looking good especially coming out from a right quad injury however he still needs to have limited minutes on the court especially he just returned to a serious injury. Hopefully Kawhi Leonard will become a beast this season with an improve team now. Definitely a contender for the Championship however the Western Conference is loaded with good teams making it a harder journey for them. The adjustments will soon come to Leonard as soon as the doctors will give them a green light to do so.

I don't know how Washington lost to Brooklyn!!! In reality this was a must win match for them - they now slip to 14-13 in the East and are back in the middle of the Pack.  This will come back to bite them end of the season.
Accept it man that's their fate. You seem to be underestimating Brooklyn Nets not everything that we think of a must win will happen. There were teams that are good at defeating stronger teams and there are teams that are surprising us for their wins. The match isn't so bad in my opinion, it was a close game.

Wow, Miloš Teodosić has just returned on the court and already decided match!
He scored decisive triple for win over Toronto Raptors 96:91!
I am glad he is finally back, he is going to be great signing.

One of the best game he had so far. His 3's made the Clippers win this one over Raptors. Toronto is riding on a 6 game winning streak only to fall to the lowly Clippers. It surprising result, but we all know that the game is very unpredictable this season. Lots of upset, underdogs pulling wins. LOL. That's why this season really interesting. And even though that Clippers have so many injuries so far, they still played their best to upset the Raptors and ended up their winning streak. DeAndre only has a monstrous game with double doubles (23 points and 15 rebounds).

Milos is supposedly the one to replace CP3, and from his performance this game, I'm sure he has potential. Really hope he'll develop though, and not end up like Rubio. That guy had so much potential back then.

Yes, its time for Milos to show his real potential, LOL at Rubio, coming to the league a lot of hype surrounds his playing style. They even comparing him to Magic Johnson if I can remember. But we know that it didn't happened and the rest is history. As for Milos, if he can be as "replacement" to the department CP3, he need to show more and somewhat lead the team. Too early to tell, but with its star player sideline, everyone need to step up like what they did today.

Tragic stuff from Wizards. The team is underperforming so badly. You could argue that 5-sec call on Satoransky was a mistake...but you should close the games with teams like Nets much earlier to avoid this kind of situations. I feel Brooks is a really really one-dimensional coach. Wiz probably 'll give up 1st rounder for 3 months of DeAndre Jordan.

I thought that seen him back on the games weren't going to have any good results as he was away from basketball for a while,
he just shut my mouth.
And about yesterday match, have you seen bulls coming back from death and deaft  Boston celtics which were doing very good at the league, actually they won +15 games, we catch a good season of NBA besides all the ijuried players.

Pelicans did a great job tonight, they let the Sixers score in the 3rq quarter but they made a good run in the 4th quarter.
Rondo is the game changer although he does not really score but tonight he made 18 assist to help his team win the game, good scoring distribution for the Pelicans, Cousins (23), Davis (29), and Holiday (34).

It was a close game. Sixers bench put a gallant fight. They played minus Joel Embiid,  Robert Covington and T.J. McConnell. But they fell short. I agree, Rondo is the big difference, specially with his 18 assists. I think Sixers poured everything in the first 3 quarters and the Pelicans just try to close the gap as much as they can. And entering the 4th, the Sixers are all out of gas, as they were outscored 44-29.
If Rondo will play like this in most of their incoming games surely they can go and proceed to the second round, with the two towers and a good
team leader where he can find good place for holiday, davis and cousins, I personally think that good chemistry and proper players blending will make them qualified as a super team.

Lolz, no way in hell. There are little to no balance in their offense and defense with Gentry nutjob as a coach. They are not beating SA with Kawhi, let alone Rockets and GSW. Hell, I'll be even surprised to see them in playoffs. If they are below 0.50 before deadline, they'll trade Cousins for sure.

I think the point here is that they are improving. Meaning there are still loopholes in their defense and offense which which they need to keep better or become better to make it to the playoffs. I believed that they are underrated at this time. Let's give them enough to time blend specially the twin towers and gel as a team. Its too early to disqualify and said that they won't make the playoffs. They will give a lot of Western Conference team a run for their money specially if the 2 will play together. Only San Antonio with LaMarcus and Kawhi can match the two.
Well, last match vs Rockets was a perfect example why you can't take Pels serious here (even if it was without AD). The Gentry-guy is absolutely clueless, Jesus Christ. They were dominated by lineup with P.J Tucker as center and lost while shooting their bests (FG, 3PGF) in 17-18.

In almost all of their last 10 games, the Rockets dominated with a small lineup with PJ Tucker as center, it's not just the Pelicans. Until other teams can figure how to beat this small lineup out, they're gonna dominate.

New York Knicks vs Los Angeles Lakers => Lakers +3.5 @1.95

Detroit Pistons vs Denver Nuggets => Pistons -5.5 @1.90

Wow, picking such a short line in basketball is a really strange bet. It would be better to pick LA win than +3.5...coz 3.5 means they are in clutch where can happen anything. I understand you are playing basic handicaps with nearly a 50-50 probability, just feel it's inefficient in this case. 
Picking LA to win would be much riskier in this matchup because they're the underdog and not the favorites.  Lakers have a 50% chance of covering they have an ats record of 13-12  and Knicks with a slightly higher record of 14-12.  When Knicks are the home favorites they only failed to cover the spread once with a 6-1 record. I'll put my money on Knicks for this one.

Great info, man, thank you.  Where did you get the stats (% of covering and so on)? I'll be grateful if you share.
As for +3,5 - I'm always avoid short positive handicaps coz +1 can easily turn to +7 in span of seconds and you never know with moneytime late in the game.

I really don't now why the line move in favor of the Knicks, it opened NY -4 and now it's only -2.5.
Something fishy, if we do not know what is going on then better stay away with the ATS betting on this game, instead for me, I'll take over 212.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs Atlanta Hawks , without dobt i will bet for Cleveland Cavaliers to win this game .
No doubt will go for Cleveland Cavaliers on this game. Standing of Hawks sucks, they are number 15 in the conference and that makes them going to be beaten by Cavs, for sure.

Lots of injury for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Love is uncertain so it will affect the rebounding and scoring of the game, they do not have a good big man.
In addition, the cavaliers are not really playing well at home especially when the point spread is too high, they are likely not gonna cover.
With these handicaps, still I'll go for Cavs.
