James Harden might not be the primary point guard for the Clippers, Russell Westbrook is doing a perfect job at the position being deputized by Bones Hyland, it's more likely that Harden will occupy the shooting guard position while Paul George and Kawhi Leonard keep the forwards positions, but there will be also huge number of minute with Harden as the PG in some games because it will make them have more ball handlers and creator on the court for 48 minutes, which is very positive thing, like the Golden State Warriors currently have with Draymond Green, Chris Paul and Steph Curry.

Nuggets lost the last match so i think they will look into this match and try and bounce back with a win. I think it can be a close match but i would play both Doncic and Jokic over points. Jokic is dominating pretty well and the line for him isnt something really big. Also i think Nuggets will take the win here.

This won't be an easy game for them as well.

But we'll see if all of them will obliged to the command and plays of Harden if he's going to be their playmaker. But obviously, he is really going to be.

It's probably already on their plans on how they're going to play with Harden. We've seen how they've played without him and they're good so, let's just hope that it be better if he's with them.

Here are my picks for tomorrow.

Indiana Pacers - Cleveland Cavaliers - Cleveland Cavaliers (-1.5)
Cleveland is hot after winning against the New York Knicks. And, this is the start of the In-Season tournament so they might as well give their all if they want to take that championship.

Oklahoma City Thunder - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors (-4.5)
This is a bit of a biased pick. Although the Warriors are doing pretty well especially against the Sacramento Kings, I think the player rotation had always been their key to winning most of their games.

Denver Nuggets - Dallas Mavericks - Denver Nuggets (-4.5)
After a bad loss, you want to go back immediately to the winning mode.
Nuggets might force this one to win the game, especially at their home. Their fans would love to see them winning at their homecourt and I bet Jokic will do so even if it means forcing the win. -4.5 seems a bit difficult to hit but if their shots will sink in, especially in the distance the lead could go way higher.

I wouldn't call the Bucks inconsistent, they're going through a patch obviously, they've lost a huge part of their game play, Jrue Holiday and Grayson Allen were core components of the Bucks while Khris Middleton still isn't 100% healthy and missing games this early into the season isn't that good for the the Bucks, while Damian Lillard, Payne, Beasely are still trying to build a solid chemistry with Giannis are the other including Brook Lopez.

Do you have any early picks for tomorrow's games?

How do you see the Dallas vs. Nuggets matchup? Dallas is the underdog on the road, getting +6.5 points, and they are still undefeated. Could this be a trap, or can we trust Kyrie and Luka to beat Jokic and the Nuggets?

Additionally, is it a good idea to bet on the Knicks against the inconsistent Bucks?

According to the latest roster list, his position is not point guard but shooting guard.

https://www.espn.ph/nba/team/roster/_/name/lac/la-clippers

If he were to play as a point guard, it would mean Westbrook would be moved out of the starting lineup and placed in the second unit. I think that might not be a good move because Westbrook is known for his hustle on the floor, unlike Harden, who is not known for playing strong defense.

Definitely it would have been a different case if PG was out there playing. It's as per report that Harden would likely to play his Clippers debut on Monday against Knicks, I think there aren't any clauses it's just on him or the management that he'll not play yet. If Harden focus on playmaking I think it will be great for both PG and Kawhi but if not then likely their numbers will decrease but afaik his role would be as a point guard.

Coach Pop might have discovered a team that could dominate the NBA in the future. Hopefully, he'll win another championship before he retires. Wemby has a promising future, and personally, I thought the Suns would recover from their disappointing loss because Booker was available. However, despite Booker's good performance, the Spurs didn't stop working hard, and Wemby had an exceptional game, his best in the NBA so far.

As for the bet, Did somebody here won on Spurs moneyline?

Wenby was crazy tonight, and if not anything, they showed that coming back from 22 points down the last game against the Suns was no fluke, they dominated the game from the get go if when Devin Booker was going crazy and the Phoenix Suns tied the game 116, the Spurs handled the game perfectly well, it's very hard to believe that squad are just a bunch of very young guys, I for one thought they'd struggle after losing Devin Vassel to a groin injury in the first half, but it never deterred them from being still very perfect and protective of the ball while in possession, with Wenby, it's still very too early but the conversation for the Rookie of the year might already be over.

Yes, they did. The Denver Nuggets should've just taken the rest here if they knew they could not win. But what's intriguing is our sports bookies which seems like they knew the Nuggets would lose that game. The handicap was just -1.5 in favor of the Nuggets which means they are not a super favorite in this match.
I forgot to think about traps. My bad.

Devin Booker played and the Phoenix Suns are still being defeated by the San Antonio Spurs. Damn, Wembenyama is killing them. Worse, it might become a blowout game with the Spurs at 20 points lead with just 2 minutes remaining in the 3rd quarter. The Suns would need all their strength to return in the 4th quarter and make many stops. A lot of work to do.

I don't know what is happening to the Suns or it is Wemby proving that he could defeat even the most offensive team in the league. I actually love it even though I might lose my bet. It gives the unpredictability of the game and it also changed my way of thinking about the young Wemby. He might really give Coach Pops another playoff appearance.

I have missed the games for today but will be betting on games for tomorrow,

Milwaukee Bucks VS New York Knicks

The stake odds for this game are 1.39 for the Bucks and 3.15 for the Knicks, for this game Andre Jackson Jr. has a hip injury and is questionable if he can play for the Milwaukee Bucks while RJ Barrett has a knee injury and is questionable if he can play for the New York Knicks, and in this game, the Milwaukee Bucks right now got a problem with Damian Lillard but for me they still have a healthy Giannis Antetokounmpo, so for me, I will be going with the Milwaukee Bucks,

Miami Heat VS Washington Wizards

The stake odds for this game are 1.26 for the Heat and 4.10 for the Wizards, for this game Caleb Martin has a knee injury and can not play and Jimmy Butler also has a knee injury but is questionable if he can play for the Miami Heat, while Daniel Gafford and Corey Kispert both has an ankle injury and are questionable if they can play for the Washington Wizards and right now I guess the Washington Wizards still doesn't get their chemistry intact and Jordan Poole is playing like a bastard, so for me, I am going with the Miami Heat,

Oklahoma City Thunders VS Golden State Warriors

The stake odds for this game are 2.55 for the Thunder and 1.55 for the Warriors, for this game Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has a knee injury, Kenrich Williams has a back injury and both can not play for the Oklahoma City Thunders, and Jaylin Williams has a Hamstring injury are questionable if he can play for the Thunders while the Golden State Warriors doesn't have any injuries, and for me, that is a great thing for the Golden State Warriors so for this game I will be going with the Golden State Warriors,

Denver Nuggets got destroyed by Minnesota from the very start of the match. Murray was just off and without him things couldnt go the right way. Jokic cannot play on his own and win all of the games. Warriors also got lucky. Klay Thompson with a game winner and they keep on beating the Kings.

If Paul George was there, the game ended differently.

We haven't seen yet that the entire roster was inside the court after all the transfers made with Tucker and Harden. Maybe on the next match they have, Harden is going to be with them.

Is there any clause that Harden isn't allowed to play yet? I only see articles that says that he will have "soon" his debut with the LA Clippers. I'm not a fan but just interested to see how it is going to be.

∆ J. Embiid 40+ PRA / T. Maxey 30+ PRA @1.80 ∆  X

Sixers and Raptors met less than a week ago with both Embiid and Maxey completely dominating their respectful matchups. Embiid finished with 51 PRA and a near triple-double, while Maxey had 47 PRA and 7/9 from 3-point range. Achiuwa is questionable for Toronto, leaving Poeltl (and possibly Boucher) to deal with Embiid. Raptors give the second most rebounds to opposing centers and 6 most points/assists, making this a fantastic spot for Embiid. I haven't checked the newest odds for most improved player, but Maxey should be the prime candidate to win it given his usage rate (which has been off the charts since the start of the season) and how well he's been playing.

I like your confidence man, you're taking the spread that is -8, right? Well, I guess it's quite high but given how Spurs humilated the Suns on their first meeting, I'm sure the Suns will not forget that and right from the very start they'll come up with some aggressiveness to ensure they'll have a comfortable lead going forward, they can't let it slip again as 2 straight loss at home against a non playoff team is not good on their record. Again, both Booker and Beal are still out, we will pretty much see the same roster that battled a day before.

I can understand other favorite teams losing in some games due to a lack of consistency. However, it's quite surprising to see the Nuggets lose to the Wolves, especially when they were fully healthy. The main reason for the loss was their three-point shooting. Normally, they're good at shooting threes, but in this game, they only made 18% of their attempts, which is just 6 out of 33 attempts. In other words, they had a very poor game in that regard.
