@passwordnow, congrats man... Honestly, I didn’t expect Denver to make a comeback after the momentum clearly shifted to the Kings during their dominant 2nd and 3rd quarters. But to my surprise, Denver had a really strong 4th quarter, and in this thrilling game, they managed to win by just 1 point.
Westbrook with another impressive performance, almost a triple double in this game.

Dropped another bet for a game later with Denver Nuggets and Sacramento Kings. I'm wanting to go for the Kings but I'm a Jokic fan so let's do this and I hope that this is another W for me.
Really good looking so far, the Denver Nuggets has started extremely terrific putting up 41 points in the first quarter alone with a 20 points lead.
That’s some decent lead to build the rest of the game on imo, but I’m sure their defense will be tested as the Kings should at some point be able to get a run of their own..:
I've chosen one bet, Orlando Magic versus New York Knicks. I've chosen to go along with Knicks, 2.60 for the Magic but I guess I'd take the 1.53 by the Knicks.
I've won this bet.

3 of 3. Yeah, that was fun! 
And this result is the most fun of all.
We have 6 games later guys, place your bets. Here are my picks.
Detroit Pistons - Miami Heat - Miami Heat (-2.5)
Charlotte Hornets - Philadelphia 76ers - Philadelphia 76ers (-1.5) - Embiid will not play that's why the spreads are low. Be careful, it could be a trap.
Brooklyn Nets - Cleveland Cavaliers - Cleveland Cavaliers (-10.5)
Good luck with your bets everyone.

That's a tough one. This bet on the Mavs game was basically over at half time already when they scored a combined 155 points.
I mean, this line was also quite bad to be honest. Sure the GSW had some games where they didnt really score much but these 2 teams play run and gun basketball mostly so a high result can be expected.Sad to say that 229 these days isn't even a so high score anymore, I wish the old days back when teams actually played defense.
At least the final score wasn't close to your 229 points, that would be even more infuriating losing a bet because of 1 or 2 points. It missed by almost 50, haha.

Crazy game to say the least, I didn't watch the game (I was switching between Spurs / Lakers games), but going by the stats I doubt either played any form of good defense because both teams shot over 50% from 3pt, and at least 10 players made 2 or more 3pt shots, how worse could a defense get if it allowed Draymond Green make 5/9 3pt, I'm sure he must have spent a few seconds before even deciding to take each of those shots. Lol.
The Lakers kept me from hitting this parlay, which would’ve been an insane winning streak of multi-bet games for me. Luckily I hit my other parlay for the day, but damn… This one would have been one hell of a hit to end a crazy week of predictions.
Damn! Tough luck for us, it was the Dallas Mavericks - Warriors with their anomaly scoreline that ruined a 23x parlay for me, I kinda liked the odds distributions for the ML and Unders so I decide to give it a shot, It sure would have been a nice hit.
Damn, that was huge, especially considering it was the last ticket in your parlay that was still active.. At some point, memphis showed life in the second half, but the first half was a big deal as the Lakers had already built a 20-point lead by halftime. And as usual, the Lakers held strong at home, improving their impressive 9-3 home record.
Anyway, better luck next time, OG!

Memphis started the game very poorly, If I recall correctly, one of the commentators mentioned that their first quarter score (20) is the new lowest they've scored in any quarter so far this season.

I got the same picks except for this one. I always bet on Magic in home court games because they have been playing better at home. Currently, the Magic are 10-0. I know Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner are still out, but I still believe in the Magic's home court advantage. Also Knicks playing kind sucks imo. Anyway good luck on your bets.

Edit: Congrats on your pick. And I lose mine. Magic is now 10-1 in home game. I will still bet on Magic in their next game against NYK.

congrats @OgNasty
Thanks. I think that's 3 or 4 parlays in a row for me now.
Let's see if we can keep the streak going another day. Again, no surprises here. Just going for the games that should be easy wins for superior teams. Good luck!Indiana Pacers - New Orleans Pelicans

Congratulations to the winners yesterday. I forgot to place my bets.
Here are my picks for today's games.
Indiana Pacers - New Orleans Pelicans - Indiana Pacers (-5.5) - I am not underestimating the Pelicans but without Ingram, their options for offense are so limited. The Pacers might eat them.
Orlando Magic - New York Knicks - New York Knicks (-2.5) - Just today I am against my wild card.
Washington Wizards - Boston Celtics - Washington Wizards (19.5) Wizards home, they might pull off a good performance. They will be beaten, I am sure of that but they might just cover the spread. Keep it at a 10-point game maybe.
Good luck everyone.

Atlanta +4
Houston +5.5 ( I like how physical they are)...
0/2, what a bad day, I guess I'm talking off for one day and will be back after.. I need a break, the last few days aren't profitable, so I'll try to evaluate my betting method to see what went wrong.
congrats @OgNasty and @Harkorede.
I've chosen one bet, Orlando Magic versus New York Knicks. I've chosen to go along with Knicks, 2.60 for the Magic but I guess I'd take the 1.53 by the Knicks.
I feel a little bit like I'm tempting fate taking the Milwaukee Bucks over the Atlanta Hawks today.
I feel exactly the same way, the Hawks have been terrific to say the least, and it's as though they're destined for this tournament, but we all know that luck can only sometimes have you in certain scenarios, for this it will take more thank just luck, to be honest the Hawks cannot be said to have been lucky at all with their group and facing the Knicks to get here, still I'm going against fate.
Milwaukee Bucks -3.5 @ 1.89
Okay, very early leans here.
Cleveland -17 - loss
Memphis -10.5 - win
Charlotte +5.5 - loss
Clippers +6 - loss
Portland +3.5 - win
Cleveland -17 - loss
Memphis -10.5 - win
Charlotte +5.5 - loss
Clippers +6 - loss
Portland +3.5 - win
2 out of 5.. not a profitable day, but let's continue like we usually do.
Again, some early leans I have here. welcome to the semi finals of the NBA cup.
Atlanta +4
Houston +5.5 ( I like how physical they are)...
I feel a little bit like I'm tempting fate taking the Milwaukee Bucks over the Atlanta Hawks today. Especially after I've been talking about how horrible the Milwaukee Bucks have been playing at times this season. Still, it's always hard to bet against Giannis and I think he'll come through today. The Thunder/Rockets game was a little easier to pull the trigger on. I just don't like the Houston Rockets and I think the OKC Thunder have outperformed the last couple of years, so they've gotta be doing something right.

Damn it! That almost made me lose 1 more game.
First, Joel Embiid got hurt after he was smacked in the face in the 2nd quarter and he didn't come back. The Philadelphia 76ers lost because of that against the lowest rank in the whole NBA, the Wizards.
Then, Anthony Edwards also hurt himself by tripping his own foot, which made him go to the locker room to check it and the Lakers had a good run of 19-4 if I remember it right. Thankfully, Edwards went back to play and they still won it which also covered the spread. McDaniels did a great job in this game.
2/4 for me. Whew!
The Cavaliers won but did not cover, just as I thought the -14.5 was just too much.
