Awful night for me, I went 0/3

Quite an abysmal display from Brooklyn Nets, they couldn't live up to my expectations of them at all, especially Mikael Bridges who I expected to take the biggest responsibility from the absence of Cam Thomas.


Lakers have got themselves quite a really good squad depth, and being able to have players like Rui Hachimura, Taurean Prince, Cam Reddish and Austin Reaves as part of their role players is of great value while the likes of Gabe Vincent and Jarred Vanderbilt out injured the team still proved to be very competitive, at full strength, they'll surelly be one of the teams to beat in the league.

Ya, the Clippers have problems… Not like anyone thought Harden would be a good addition for them. So far all he’s done is get Kawhi into a strip club…

LeBron came through with a really efficient game to outplay Durant in my opinion and get the Lakers a win. I wasn’t expecting that, but am glad to see that the Lakers are capable of playing good basketball. LeBron also became the only player in NBA history with 5,000 turnovers.

Dallas Mavericks won! Luka Freaking Doncic!  
1st quarter was a good lead for the Clippers but they cannot preserve it. The Mavs made a 20-2 run, with Luka and Kyrie leading the offense.
I lost my bet but damn, that was some game for the Mavs, an impressive show in their homecourt.
100 points in the 3rd quarter with 4 minutes left, Luka shooting everywhere ending with 44 points, and Lively helping out defensively and offensively, this is the perfect night for the Mavericks. Clippers did not even make it close to single digits after that 2nd quarter run of the Mavs.

Minnesota Timberwolves won by 7 points, thank God. That covered the handicap that I input against the Spurs.

The New Orleans Pelicans lost, and another lost for me.

1/3.
And I don't think the Over 229.5 will hit as 3 minutes are remaining in the game between Sacramento Kings and the OKC Thunder. 98-89

1/4. Crappy day.
Congratulations to the winners.

It looks like the bench was more reliable than the starters in this match. I wonder what the management is gonna say about these recent games but they should probably need to work it out, if they continue like this they won't even reach the playoffs. I think the bookies are fan of Harden as well lol.

And the Clippers continue to struggle, they aren't even losing via close margin.

That's 3 in a row with Harden on the team, I guess this team will esily lead us to being a winner as despite their struggle, bookies still believe in them making them a slight underdog but heavy favorite sometimes, so let's fade them everytime.

Luka Torch them with his 44 points. 

2/3 not bad. I actually bet Charlotte +13 when they were down 15 and they came back to win lol. Sweating the Lakers +9.5 now. I think I like live betting more then pregame as you can take a look at how the teams have been performing.

I might get into the favorite teams and will be going with just 4 games right now, so here is my bet and prediction for games today,

Washington Wizards VS Charlotte Hornets

The stake odds for this game are 1.72 for the Wizards and 2.19 for the Hornets, Right now there are no injuries for the Washington Wizards while Gordon Hayward has a Hamstring, and James Bouknight, Cody Martin, Terry Rozier, Frank Ntilikina, all have injuries and can not play for the Hornets for this game I think that the Washington Wizards right now is doing well and because of the Hornes injuries for sure it will be a problem for the Charlotte Hornets so my pick is the Washington Wizards,

Detroit Pistons VS Philadelphia 76ers

The stake odds for this game are 3.95 for the Pistons and 1.27 for the 76ers, Right now Jaden Ivey, Alec Burks, Joe Harris, Isaiah Livers, Bojan Bogdanovic, and Monte Morris all have injuries and can not play for the Detroit Pistons, while Nicolas Batum has a finger injuries and is questionable if he can play for the 76ers, for this game because of the Pistons injuries I think that the Philadelphia 76ers will be winning this, so my pick is the Philadelphia 76ers,

Boston Celtics VS Brooklyn Nets

The stake odds for this game are 1.16 for the Celtics and 5.80 for the Nets, Right now Al Horford and Neemias Queta can not play for the Celtics because of injuries while Dariq Whitehead is questionable if he can play for the Nets, and Ben Simmons, Cameron Thomas, and Nicolas Claxton all can not play for the Brooklyn Nets for this game because of the injuries and the latest situation for the Celtics I think that the Boston Celtics will be winning this game,

Dallas Mavericks VS Los Angeles Clippers

The Stake odds for this game are 1.90 for the Mavericks and 1.94 for the Clippers, right now Maxi Kleber and Dereck Lively II both are questionable if they can play for the Mavericks, while  Mason Plumlee and Brandon Boston Jr. both have injuries and can not play for the Los Angeles Clippers, so my take in this game this will be a close game actually both teams are great but I guess the Dallas Mavericks is my pick to win here,

The only game that I’ll probably pay attention to today is the Suns vs Lakers. Anthony Davis is listed as probable but is still suffering from groin issues which might hurt him considering Nurkic is a bit of a banger. The Suns are still hurting with injuries too but I think they’ve been playing better basketball than the Lakers. With them getting only a -2.5 point spread, I’m tempted to bet them to cover.

Very nice. I like your picks bro.

Mavericks versus Clippers. Hmm, this could really be a good game indeed. I was looking forward for James Harden to go wild too but it seems like the hiatus made him a bit rusty. The last I watched, I saw him wasting an open three-point shot and then sidestepped to the defender front just for the ball to get blocked.
Truly rusty, but it can be fixed. I like the Clippers bet so I am taking it too although the Mavs are the slight favorite here. Clippers ML is enough for me.

Sacramento Kings - Oklahoma City Thunder - Over 229.5 Offensive teams. Fox is still out but both teams can play fastball and I bet the total score will be extremely high.

San Antonio Spurs - Minnesota Timberwolves - Minnesota Timberwolves (-4.5) Timberwolves is just too much for any team right now. 4th winning streak and they might make it a 5.

Houston Rockets - New Orleans Pelicans - New Orleans Pelicans ML This Pelicans team badly needs a win after their 3rd losing streak. They need to break that and bring their confidence back even if it means winning on the road. They got to work for it though as the Rockets are not just going to give it them especially now that they are also aiming for a 5th winning streak.

Good luck everyone.

Boston Celtics for me today is an easy win at home. Handicap on them for sure i think the Nets even with all of their wins on the road arent even close to the Celtics. While the Houston match will be pretty even for me. I would go over points in that match for sure.

Houston Rockets - New Orleans Pelicans
Once again, the Pelicans are going through an unstable period due to injuries. If this situation continues this season, the club will start to have serious problems and maybe the roster will be undergo an overhaul. We'll see in time. The Houston Rockets are in good spirits. The addition of VanVleet and Brooks as 'big brothers' has energized the youngsters. The Rockets have won four games in a row, with Alperen going through a period of brilliance. Alperen's status for tonight is uncertain, his left ankle, which he rolled in the last game, will be evaluated at game time. Hopefully he'll be in the game. However, the Pelicans are also missing and are also a team that struggles on the road. Houston is one step closer to victory.

Boston Celtics - Brooklyn Nets
Boston has yet to lose at home. On the other hand, Brooklyn, who they host tonight, has won three in a row on the road. After starting the season with back to back losses, Brooklyn won on the road against Charlotte, Miami and Chicago. Thomas, the Nets' leading scorer, sprained his ankle in the last game and will be out for at least two weeks. Therefore, for Brooklyn, the fact that the opponent is Boston and that they are missing important players makes this matchup even more difficult. Even though the Nets win on the road, they don't score a lot of points. Boston is not a high-scoring team at home and the fact that they don't lose at home gives Boston the edge for the win.

There are 9 in Season Tournament fixtures for tonight, and a couple of games I'm looking forward to, I'll be locked in on Brooklyn Nets vs Boston Celtics, I've been quite interested in Brooklyn Nets this season, I really love them as a team, to bad they've lost their biggest scoring player so far this season in Cam Thomas to injury, but meanwhile Cameron Johnson another elite shooter would be back into the roster, he might not be at his best so I'm expecting Mikael Bridges to do a bit of the lifting in terms of points tonight, I've got 3 players from Brooklyn Nets on players props.

I've got;

1. Mikael Bridges Over 24.5 points @ 1.86 Odds

2. Dorian Finney Smith Over 5.5 Rebounds @ 1.76 Odds

3. Kristaps Porzingis Over 1.5 Blocks @ 2.45 Odds


----------------------------------

Another matchup I'll be going in on is Los Angeles Lakers vs Phoenix Suns, however, that will be dependent on my first 3 bets above turns out, and then I'm trying to be sure which players will be available, as Anthony Davis for Lakers and Bradley Beal are still both considered as probable for the game, while these are supposed to be my primary targets, but I might have to improvise if they're eventually unavailable for the match.

I just lost on the Hawks as they haven't cover my spread as well with -2.5. I'm favoring the Clippers this time with +3.5 @1.70 although they've been having a shit performance recently and I think they couldn't fit Harden perfectly on that roster but just a wild bet. Lot of good games tonight and betting as well to Phoenix -1.5 @1.86

Lost both my damn bets.

Atlanta Hawks won but only by one point. My spread was -1.5. 
If only Banchero made that last shot then the Magic would lead by two then Atlanta could try the win in overtime even by just 2 points. Wild imagination only. 
Trae Young with 41 points. Rawr.
Sorry @Dave1 we both lost that Hawks bet by a hair.

Milwaukee Bucks lost. Well, I guess that explains the low handicap given at just -1.5 and the moneyline was 1.92 because the Pacers could really defeat them even with Giannis Antetokounmpo having a monster game at 54 points and 12 rebounds.

Congratulations to @wheelz1200. Almost a perfect bet if you avoid the under 241.5. But damn you did great today picking the Pacers and +3 for the Orlando Magic. Very nice bro.

I would agree that lots of money came in on the Pacers if Lillard did play. I think the main reason why the line moved was because Lillard was announced unavailable in that game, so bookmakers adjusted the spread. The Bucks at -1.5 is still very attractive to bettors even without Lillard, so I guess it's the public play. Therefore, I think the public lost their bets on that game.

The line opened at Bucks -3.5 a few days before the game and by the time the game started had moved all the way to Bucks -1.5. Looks like lots of money came in on the Pacers. I unfortunately took the Bucks moneyline mixed with the Bears under and lost my little parlay when the Bucks lost by 2.

They can fix whatever problem they are facing now; their record is not bad, though. They win some and lose some; they just need some consistency. As for the roster, I think it's an improved roster. On the coaching side, that's something to consider since he is a new coach handling a strong team that is expected to be in the playoffs and a championship contender. The pressure is also very high on his side.

I think Middleton tried his best, he had a good game, and he is going to the post in the last 3 minutes of the game and making it. However, when he missed that 3 point shot and then Giannis doesn't want to touch the ball because he is so tired, the Bucks didn't have someone to score. Lopez tried a 3, but he missed, Giannis tried to go in the paint, but the ball was stolen.

While the Pacers is making shots, playing good defense and that's why they outsmart the Bucks. I think I don't see the fire in the Bucks right now, it could be the new coach or the new players that needs some time to blend.

It was evident because Giannis got tired towards the end. He's not a superhuman, and that's why he needs someone who can help him, and that someone is Lillard. Unfortunately, Lillard was out in that game. The Bucks have been pretty predictable this season – if it's not Lillard, then Giannis is the one carrying the team. Players like Middleton and other high-paid players on the team probably aren't contributing at the level expected of them.
