Even though the Pacers had the advantage, it turned out to be a close game. The Pacers beat the Bucks by only 2 points, despite Giannis scoring 50+. The Bucks were leading in the 4th quarter but got exhausted in the final minutes of the game. It was a tough loss for the Bucks, and even without Lillard, the Bucks came to play.


The Hawks are leading by 4 points at the half. This game is being played without much defense, resulting in a high-scoring match. Both teams have already combined for 142 points in the first half alone.

The only way to get parity with your bet is to have it being rendered null and void since Damian Lillard didn't suit up for the game but Giannis is firing on all cylinders I guess getting ejected last night had it's effect on him getting all fired up tonight, he's got a chance to record a new all time personal high for points, he's currently got 54 with more than 4 minutes left to play, I knew it was going to be a huge day in the office for him when he scored 26 points in the first half alone.

And worst, they are going to travel to the Pacers home court, so they will be at a disadvantage as the Pacers is also having a good record, they are almost similar, so I will stay away from them.

And it's a interesting game, Hawks vs the Magic, as they will be played in Mexico City and this is a potential expansion city so we will see.

And with that I will have the Hawks at -1.5 at @1.72 as well, same with @danherbias07.

Yeah, that's true.
But still, I am betting for the Milwaukee Bucks here and I am just waiting for the line to open in Stake.com. I don't know why it's not available yet, the game is half an hour away before it starts.

Only two games today. Yeah, after 14 games yesterday, that should be the case.
I like the low handicap given to bet for the Atlanta Hawks.
Orlando Magic - Atlanta Hawks - Atlanta Hawks (-1.5)

With so many injuries in Orlando Magic that should not be the case. Gary Harris is out, and Markelle Fultz is questionable. Without Wendell Carter too as he will undergo surgery.
Atlanta Hawks should win this one with low resistance unless they will have a bad shooting night at Orlando's home crowd.

Good luck everyone.

Edit: Now available but handicaps are not yet set.
Indiana Pacers - Milwaukee Bucks - Milwaukee Bucks ML @1.92

I’m staying away from the bets today. The Bucks haven’t been playing great and the odds aren’t there to bet either side. Sometimes the best way to win is to not play. With Dame shooting terribly and Giannis seemingly having his issues with the change of PG I don’t feel confident they can win every night regardless of their opponent.

It seems like everyone is going to the Bucks here, I might fade you all as I think it could be a trap to deceit the public.
Also addition some 1st half/2nd half special, Bucks/Pacers with a juicy 8.40 odds.



Until LA starts winning that's when they can be trusted, against the Mavericks who's been playing playing pretty well and Harden vs Iving (old buddies), it's such a great match up, let's see how desperate the LA Clippers to win this game.

Went 1-2 last night bringing my yearly total to 17-16 for my 11th night betting 3 games.  Tonight there are only 2 games but I will take one of the over/unders as well

1) gimme the Pacers at home giving +2.5 points against the Bucks.  2nd night of a back to back I like the home team here.  Hali should control the tempo

2) also gimme the under 241.5.  Think the legs on the Bucks might impact the high scoring ability.  Pacers win 121-117, skimming just barely on the under.

3) also taking the home dog in the other one.  Orlando +3.5 against the Hawks.  Love home dogs and Atlanta shouldn't be favored by that much here. 

Good luck tonight!

Thanks, it was a hard fought game and the spread, ouch, I got greedy and thinking that they can cover it. Sure, I will try to bounce back as there are a lot of games later.

I'll go with the Bucks against the Pacers, could be another close game here, but let's see if Giannis can take one at the road against the Pacers. The Bucks slight favorite @1.77 ML. I think there's value on that bet.

I also like to go ML with the Mavericks @1.81 against the Clippers, gonna be exciting, but I think LA might still struggle and Doncic putting MVP numbers.

For tonight's game, here are some of my picks for player props/bet builder all unders except for Giannis 2+ blocks. I didn't place a moneyline bet but my picks for tonight are both home teams: Indiana Pacers and Magic. The Pacers played well in their last game while the Bucks had a crucial match against the Pistons, with Giannis getting ejected last game. I chose the Magic due to the home court advantage. Not else. Lol thoughts?

Edit: Magic vs Hawks plays in Mexico so nothing to do with homecourt advantage. Lmao

I’m a Bulls fan to be honest, but the Suns owned them for the past few years. So I thought that this would be another blowout win by Phoenix due to Bradley Beal playing and he had 13 points sans Devin Booker being out for an injury. For sure, the blowout win would happen if Booker was healthy.

The Bulls did compete with an almost healthy lineup but bad decisions had been made during the OT that cost them the game.

Despite that I bet for Phoenix to win against Chicago, but I still lost my bet because of thinking that this would be an easy blowout win for them but was proven wrong instead. With their next game against the Pistons on their home court (which they have surprisingly lost during their first meeting), not really sure about the betting odds but maybe the Bulls would have learned their lesson and get their revenge on the young Pistons.

Yup! Well, even though the Golden State Warriors lost this game it was really quite amazing what happened in this game it was a close game for sure without Draymond Green for the Warriors and Jamal Murray for the Denver Nuggets, 1st half was surely gone with the Denver Nuggets but the 2nd half for sure the Warriors have surely taken the table for this game but the Denver Nuggets have won this. and I lost the bet but even though I lost this bet I surely enjoyed the game and I was really standing in my seat which is why no hard feelings for me, but I got 3 Wins on my 5 bets,

---

Here are the results for my bet for today's game

Milwaukee Bucks VS Detroit Pistons SCORE 120 - 118 - WIN

Pretty much a close game, but for sure all games are so much close for sure, the Milwaukee Bucks did a great job in the 1st half of this game but the Detroit Pistons in the 2nd half were getting their game together but still, the Milwaukee Bucks won this game, with this game the Bucks have let Damian Lillard take the scoring carnage for this game making Giannis Antetokounmpo just made 15 points but Damian Lillard got 34 points for this game,

Brooklyn Nets VS Los Angeles Clippers SCORE 100 - 93 - LOST

The Los Angeles Clippers got this in the 1st half but the Brooklyn Nets got this game in the 2nd half Loonie Walker IV did a great job in this game for sure, Dorian Finney-Smith got 12 points Royce O'Neale has a double-double of 10 rebounds and 12 points, Cam Thomas has 14 points, and Loonie Walker IV got 21 points for this game,

Memphis Grizzlies VS Miami Heat SCORE 102 - 108 - WIN

Emo Jimmy wasn't that helpful for this game and it was Bam Adebayo who was quite doing the job done, Haywood Highsmith got 14 points, Emo Butler got 15 points, Kyle Lowry had a double-double of 11 rebounds and 17 points, and Bam Adebayo has a double-double of 11 rebounds and 30 points,

Denver Nuggets VS Golden State Warriors SCORE 108 - 105 - LOST

This is clearly a great game to behold it was not the finals but the game feels like one, and even though I have lost my bet for this game I had a ton of fun watching it, great spread for the Warriors but it was a close one so for sure any team could win this but the Denver Nuggets Michael Porter Jr. got 17 points, Reggie Jackson got 20 points, and Nikola Jokic has a double-double of 13 rebounds and 35 points,

Sacramento Kings VS Portland Trail Blazers SCORE 121 - 118 - WIN

Another win for the Sacramento Kings and because they badly need this as they have lost 2 times against the Golden State Warriors, but for sure this is a close game and a win for the Sacramento Kings, Jerami Grant did everything to win this game with 38 points but the Sacramento Kings have Kevin Huerter has 17 points, Malik Monk has a double-double of 10 assist and 23 points, and Domantas Sabonis has a double-double of 11 rebounds and 27 points,

The Bucks managed to scrape by with a  two point victory against the Pistons, and it shows that they know how to win. That's important as they're heading to play the Pacers. I like your pick in terms of team quality; the Bucks have already proven themselves as a playoff team, while the Pacers are still relatively young and need to establish consistency in the playoffs.

Giannis isn't even playing his usual game, but he could explode at any time. Perhaps he's enjoying the current situation, having Lillard who can also carry the team, so Giannis doesn't have to shoulder the Bucks in every game.

As much as I like the Pacers, I don't see them being very competitive against the Bucks. Dame and Giannis will have great games and the Pacers youngsters are gonna have a tough challenge. They are a great young team and I think playoffs will happen for the Pacers this year, but tonight they prob cool off a little.

The first game features the Bucks versus the Pacers. Both teams are playing on a back-to-back, but the Bucks have to travel for this road game. The Pacers are the underdogs with a +3 handicap, but the Pacers has been playing pretty well with a strong offense, scoring 134 points against Utah and a whopping 152 points against the Spurs. I know the Bucks are a tough team, but I like the handicap here, giving +3 to the home team. I hope it's a close game, even if the Bucks end up winning.

As for the second game, I'll pass on that one for now, but if Pacers lose, I might consider betting. 

I hope you didn't take that -1.5.

Another split.

Milwaukee Bucks won by only 2 points. Ouch!
Dallas Mavericks lost against the Toronto Raptors. Another Ouch!

Got a bit of luck that Steph missed that layup or else it could go wrong in overtime.
Phoenix Suns on the other hand scared me a bit there as the Bulls really tried to win that game. Durant was so frustrated with his team especially the post-up pass where they made so many errors.

True! I was amazed at how they are playing that well even without Draymond Green where most of their play are starting.
Bench points, that is where the Warriors won.
I think it's 30+ points for them while the Nuggets are below 20 points. Steve Kerr cannot be underestimated in finding that hot hand in his team, he will keep on rotating his players to see who can step up.
I love how the Warriors played today despite the loss.

With only 3 seconds left in the game and no timeouts for the Warriors, it was tough to take a shot because they didn't plan the play carefully. They don't necessarily have to be in that situation all the time. It would be better if they played stronger from the beginning so they aren't constantly playing catch-up and only giving their all when time is running out.

Anyway, it was still a good game. The Warriors showed their competitiveness, and I believe they could give the Nuggets a tough series if they meet in the playoffs.


I guess most of the bettors take the spread since Nuggets are really good at home, so they lose their bet because of that +0.5 the Warriors have.

Murray is lucky to have a good team as they are still winnign despite him resting due to injury.

I just decided just to go with the ML on the Nuggets. They didn't disappoint me, but the games is really very close it's that the Warriors doesn't have enough time and although Klay has the ball time did run out as he made a fumble.

Nevertheless, the line up of Warriors still looks solid despite their age and their experience really carry them in this game against the Nuggets. And this is the toughest games for the Nuggets in my opinion. Games are not decided until the last seconds.

So congrats on those who ride on the Nuggets win, it's worth it.

You have a point with the Denver Nuggets missing a key piece in Jamal Murray as well, I was just speaking about the Nuggets being the favorites, and some expecting that it would be an easy win for them.

I'm sure it would have been a different kind of ball game If both teams were to have all their best players available for the game.


I was one of the people who believed that Nuggets were the big losers in the trade that saw Reggie Jackson move to the Denver and and saw Bones Hyland going the other way to the Los Angeles Clippers, because Hyland was a young and very promising Guard, that I expected could be the face of the Nuggets franchise in the future, but as it would turn that they even still got young Guards for the future of the franchise while trading for a veteran that often is a leader of their 2nd unit, and does an amazing job with the said unit, at age 33! The next one month without Jamal Murray will surely show how great an opportunity they maximized by getting Reggie.

Murray was out too, so Nuggets are also undermanned, if Murray wasn't injured, Nuggets could easily dominate the Warriors in that game IMO. overall, it was a very entertaining game, Curry was quite limited in this game due to the good defense of the Nuggets but it's a winnable game for them, they just made some bad decision down the stretch. 

BTW, Murray is out for 3-4 weeks with  hamstring injury according to report, but it looks like Nuggets are still a very strong team.

This guy is always been an underrated player, with the Nuggets which is playing like a real team, I believe Jackson would be a big help in the playoffs, like KCP.

That indeed went down to the wire, It wasn't by any means an easy win for Denver Nuggets, Steve Kerr's warriors started with Saric and Looney the only two big available for the Warriors I believe that's to limit the effect Nikola Jokic, but there was just no way to stop the Joker, but then the Warriors huge squad depth despite missing a number guys that help out defensively like GP II and Draymond, while Curry was not at his usual best too, the Wiggins and Chris Paul playing below par, the Warriors still showed huge level of competitiveness. For the Nuggets Reggie Jackson is really proving to be a great asset right now for the team.

That was quite an interesting game!
