The handicap is all over the place, earlier it was -4.5, and now it's down to -1.5 after I grabbed the ML(1.59) at the bad time.



Kyrie is out for the Mavs, but they still have Luka, so this could still be close. On a positive note, Lebron and AD are now confirmed for the Lakers, so they should have the upper hand here.

Edit: What a close finish, the Lakers got my hopes up in the end. 😅

Not taking too many games except for the Warriors to win to fight with KD sitting.  I took a lot of prop bets

M moody over 7.5 points
Luka over 51.5 points/asst/reb
Derozen over 24.5 points.
Sabonis over 12.5 boards
Jarret Allen over 8.5 boards (evan mobley is out)

Looking at some more but that's the start.

I also hit a good 4 game parlay last night @6.90.



It's a local gambling site though if you will have to notice at the top.

It's Nuggets, Kings and Rockets by handicap and then I have Philly by ML (this is the start of the parlay, I just want to make sure that I will have a good win in the beginning). And I think the majority has a good win as well, congrats to everyone.

But for tonight's game, it's unpredictable as it looks like a even match on paper. Although in the Mavs vs Lakers, superstars of the respected team might not play and that's why the Lakers are the favorite so I'm taking them with handicap -1.5 (the line though has move to -2.5 as of this writing).

Best of luck to everyone.

Thank you. Sometimes when you on a hot streak it's nice to share some picks,  so I'm posting my picks for tomorrow again.

-10 Boston (They are 10-0 at home, 7-3 ATS, while Cavaliers are on a back to back game. All the advantage is on the Boston)

-7.5 Denver (Both teams are on a back to back game, so let's go back to 1. Since Denver is the better team, I'm choosing them)

LAL vs DAL and GSW vs SUNS.. These games could be a close ones, it's hard to choose that way, so I'll pass.

Boston x Cleveland - It's hard to do a huge handicap to Boston here, Cleveland played incredibly strong these past few weeks. Though I'm going to take Celtics on this one, but I'll put myself safer than -8.5, maybe -3.5 or -4.5, I'll try to bet on the live game so the odds are realistic.

Chicago x Denver - I'm too concerned with Jamal's performance since he came back, it seems like it was not the play I used to see him play with Denver also Nikola's stats from the past 3 games are getting low. Chicago on the otherhand made a close call with Bucks earlier today, DeRozan putting 41 points on the board. I'll probably have Chicago +5.5

Clippers x Sacramento - I'll give this for Sacramento all day.

Perfect! Finally another good win today.

That Miami Heat win scared me a bit. They only won by 2 points and luckily I was not greedy enough to add more on the spreads. Also, thank you @Maslate for the tips. We may not have the same bets on other games but the other two we definitely hit it. 
I think this is the first I hit this many team wins in one day and I kind of love the feeling of perfecting it even though it's rare. Most of the favorites won their respective games, if I am right it is just the Timberwolves who were upset. Correct me if I am wrong.

Later 5 games.
Mavericks, Cavaliers, Bulls, Nuggets, Clippers, and Kings. These teams are playing back-to-back games so be sure to be careful with your picks.

First pick.
Boston Celtics - Cleveland Cavaliers - Boston Celtics (-8.5) I didn't max it out to -10.5 although I am not in doubt that the Celtics will win this one. Just taking the safer pick.
Second pick.
Chicago Bulls - Denver Nuggets - Denver Nuggets (-5.5) Well, both are playing back-to-back but Nuggets has the firepower to win. Also, the win from their first road game could give a lingering confidence to the team. Their bench will probably be playing with lots of energy.
Third pick.
Los Angeles Clippers - Sacramento Kings - Los Angeles Clippers (-1.5) This team even if they play back-to-back has no problem. They have so many stars that can heat up anytime and contribute.

Good luck everyone.

4-4, what a lucky you had mate.

Everything was just perfect as the winners were in control of the game in most of the quarters.

I didn't know Murray was already back, and in his first game, he already lead his team to a big win with 29 points.
He doesn look like he wasn't coming from an injury as he still had the same confidence.

Now, Nuggets back to a complete healthy line up.

^^ Didn't watch the game though, but I was monitoring the score and it seems that the game was close between the Nuggets and the Hawks.

But I never doubted that they will win this game with the handicap of at least -1.5. That was the bet that I put since yesterday. I thought that there were games but it seems that they have rested about the tournament that the Lakers won. I got it at 1.86, so it was a good bet with the Nuggets here.

Congratulations! You picked well and won three games today. I am not feeling well and I only managed one bet on Denver Nuggets.

Jamal Murray played. And thankfully it was the right decision because he led his team in scoring in what I assumed would be an easy win. But Atlanta thrilled its home fans when the match became closer. After a 15 point lead, it was trimmed down to 4, courtesy of two threes from Bogdanovich within a minute. That was almost able to alter the outcome of the match. It was a disheartening night for Bogdan Bogdanovich who scored 40.

∆ J. Randle 20+ points / J. Randle 8+ rebounds @1.97 ∆  won

Randle saved my ticket with garbage time bucket vs. Boston so i'm returning the favor and sticking with him.

Knicks are thin upfront and Hartenstein will be the one to get increased minutes/workload, but i like the spot for Randle when Robinson is not playing. Randle had a double-double with 10 boards and 20 points in the first meeting between these two teams just ten days ago. I am kind of hoping for a similar output today.

I remembered a recent funny story related to  Pacers.

On November 22, about 3 weeks ago, they played Atlanta and I bet that the teams would score less than 230 or 240 points. Something like this. Since I have nights during NBA matches, I usually find out about the results in the morning. Imagine my disappointment when in the morning I saw that these teams broke some league record and scored more than 300 points between them

My guts told me not to put a bet on which team will win the match, I believed those youngins can go over Lebron's supremacy to the game but Davis cut them off telling something about the fans. He's with Lebron, the greatest player on the NBA right now, alright I didn't say GOAT I don't want to debate   Lebron and Davis on the court reminds of old school players playing dominantly on the perimeter, that 39-year old body of Lebron doesn't look right to me and look at Davis, didn't you see how he went to Pacer's center player chest trying to make a basket? that's hella crazy.

Here are my picks for the upcoming NBA games for today

Detroit Pistons VS Indiana Pacers

The stake odds for this game are 3.20 for the Detroit Pistons and 1.37 for the Indiana Pacers, for this game Marvin Bagley III and Jared Rhoden are questionable if they can play for the Pistons, and Jalen Duren and Monte Morris can not play for this game against the Indiana Pacers while Aaron Nesmith is questionable if he can play, Jalen Smith and Andrew Nembhard can not play for the Indiana Pacers, for me because of the less injuries the Pacers have my pick is the Indiana Pacers,

Orlando Magic VS Cleveland Cavaliers

The stake odds for this game are 1.81 for the Orlando Magic and 2.06 for the Cleveland Cavaliers, for this game Jalen Suggs is questionable if he can play for the Magic, Wendell Carter Jr., Markelle Fultz, and Kevon Harris can not play for this game, while Ty Jerome, Evan Mobley, Caris LeVert and Ricky Rubio can not play for the Cleveland Cavaliers for this game the Orlando Magic doesn't have much injuries, while for me the Magic has a great defense for this fight so my pick is the Orlando Magic,

Charlotte Hornets VS Miami Heat

The stake odds for this game are 2.40 for the Charlotte Hornets and 1.61 for the Miami Heat, For this game Mark Williams, and Nick Smith Jr. are questionable if they can play for the Hornets, Frank Ntilikina, Cody Martin, and LaMelo Ball can not play for the Charlotte Hornets while Kyle Lowry is questionable if he can play Dru Smith is out for this season, Bam Adebayo, Haywood Highsmith, and Tyler Herro all can not play for the Miami Heat, for this game because the Miami Heat is still looking good and for sure no main Players that are injured today I am going with the Miami Heat,

It's already -2.5 now. I'd still go with the Mavericks, as sometimes even without Irving Dallas is still a strong team. Plus, if you look at the stats of the Memphis, they are 1-9 at home, so you can easily spot which is the better team betwen the two. By the way, Dallas is 7-4 on the road, so Dallas is the right pick based on those comparisons.

I like your picks bro @Maslate.
Had a good rest after the exciting Finals of the In-Season Tournament. I hope I can a perfect score on the games later.
13 games to be exact.

Here are my picks.
Detroit Pistons - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers (-4.5) - They had their rest and I bet they are hungry. The Pacers may have also looked at the IST Finals tape and will fix their mistakes from now on. Plus, I really love the fast pace type of game performance.

Orlando Magic - Cleveland Cavaliers - Orlando Magic (-1.5) @Maslate already said the reason why we picked the Magic.

Charlotte Hornets - Miami Heat - Miami Heat (-1.5) Bam is out, that's the reason for the low spreads. But I do believe in the Miami Heat, they might still win this one. I want to see Duncan Robinson stepping up his game big time.

Atlanta Hawks - Denver Nuggets - Denver Nuggets (-1.5) The Nuggets had a bad home game against the Rockets and they will try to start their road game with a win. IMO.

Memphis Grizzlies - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks (-1.5) No Kyrie Irving and a lot of starters but headband Luka can sometimes be a monster. Ja Morant is still not back, 4 more games before his return. The Mavs might steal this one.

Good luck everyone.

I placed my bet on Lebron James because I thought they were surely giving it to him but I think Anthony Davis deserved it more. Thanks for clearing it up about if it's for the finals or the whole tournament. Whole tournament makes sense. Otherwise, if just by the finals only then Davis would have gotten it. And I can't stop but pointing out to something, it is Lebron's 21st season. That is just crazy, man. It is great that not only he deserves being the mvp, but just him being a candidate about it is amazing.

So after a day of break, the NBA regular season will resume tomorrow.

I'm thinking of selecting few games only, just the quality games I feel I'm confident with my pick.
So, here are my early leans.

-2.5 Magic over the Cavaliers.
(Magic is 10-2 at home, they should win and cover the spread)

-11.5 Sixers over Washington Wizards
(Last time Wizards covered, this time around they'll not be lucky)

-2.5 Denver over Hawks
(Hawks just a bad team at home with 3-6 record, Denver should win)

-4.5 Kings over Brooklyn
(I just like the home team here)

If that was the basis, no doubt about the win of Lebron being the MVP. He is the one with consistent contribution, Davis somehow had a big game in the Finals but prior to that it was Lebron. Pacers had learn from that experience, they will surely make a lot of adjustments to match up a team as good as the Lakers once they'll be in the playoffs.


It's only a one game competition, NBA finals or players are so different as it's a best of 7, but at least they already show a glimpse of what they can do.

I took the handicap because I had faith for in the Lakers to win. The Pacers were simply outgunned. Lakers always have an answer when Pacers are about to stay close.

It is a whole In-Game tournament MVP award so Lebron James has the merits to take it. Anyhow, Anthony Davis had a monster performance. 40 points, 20 rebounds, and a number of blocks were made. Davis scarcely missed his shots.

Albeit this is just a minor accomplishment compared to the playoffs. This is how terrifying the Lakers will be in games necessary to them. But in order for them to do it, they need to be healthy.
