Yeah I'm looking forward to this game tonight as well.  Even though I'm not the biggest Kevin Durant fan ( I think he's a bit of an overly sensitive baby) he's obviously a huge addition to the team, and I'm excited to see what he can do with the rest of their squad.

Doing a little parlay tonight, will be taking the Suns -4.5, the Chicago Bulls +3, and the 76'rs at -4.  I haven't hit on a parlay in some time, so hoping my luck turns around here tonight lol.

Yeah, worst lost for me, they are the first game last night and so I have them with a parlay. The worst part is that I didn't even beat them on handicap, I just have them a ML just to start a good parlay on my end, with the Hawks ML and Toronto handicap. But it was destroyed with that Celtics lost.

Don't understand whey they keep on having Smart guard KP early, and Kristaps take advantage of it, either in the 3 point like or posting Smart in the middle, to shoot and get a foul.

What a great match we saw from The GSW yesterday. at halftime they were trailing by no less than 20 points. And then at the end something like 15 points ahead. Then you have made a comeback somewhere of 35 points. Curry was again phenomenal good. In the 2nd half (3rd and 4th quarters) we saw how well they can play and why their last season was the champion of the league. A lot of media attention has also been paid to a foreign player who managed to make an almost impossible pass half way out of the field of play. I don't remember his name exactly but it seems that this is the most genius pass ever given.

No guarantees yet about Durant's return but the latest tip-off revealed that he is upgraded to probable, so I guess he will indeed play tonight and then there's Ayton who is also back on the hardwood. This will be a good advantage for the team that they shouldn't let slide especially after the fact that a lot of of players of Wolves are questionable/probable including Karl Anthony-Towns and Anthony Edwards. Things are getting interesting as the season is approaching to its end.

I've gotta say it...  The Suns are unleashing Kevin Durant tonight and the Minnesota Timberwolves have been getting over injuries and trying to get back into the swing of things.  I suspect that the Suns are going to try and send a message for Durant's home debut and given the Timberwolves health struggles lately, I think this should be a good win for the Suns.  Phoenix is also finding themselves much closer to the play-in tournament than they'd like to be I'm sure, so a win here will give them a little more space and show what this team is capable of with a healthy Durant.  For that reason, I wouldn't be mad at anyone throwing a few bucks on the Suns tonight.

He went in Ingram first because he intentionally bumped him on a fast break. Luckily, he got a flagrant foul penalty 1 on that one instead of a technical, and I'd rather choose a flagrant foul penalty one than a technical on Green which is an automatic suspension for the next game. The second one is when Herb Jones and Green tangled with each other while they're down, and luckily Green got away with it again. Overall, he has 2 chances of getting that technical and an automatic 1 game suspension, but he got away with both of them.

As for the whole Warriors team, I'm just lucky that I put my bet on them when they're down double digits. I mean we've seen the Warriors down double digits in their home at halftime, and when they come back, they will let threes rain on their home, getting the momentum and eventually the victory.

Spurs seems an easy opponent, but I guess the Warriors doesn't need to be that confident because even though they are playing well on their home, we've seen some upsets coming from bottom teams already because they've defeated some top teams.

If Draymond Green gets another technical foul in the next game, he will be suspended. It would be a smart move if he could intentionally get a technical foul before the playoffs to avoid missing a playoff game. However, deliberately getting a technical foul is not allowed as it violates the rules of the game.

The Warriors will be hosting the Spurs in their next game, and it seems like an easy opponent.

1-3 for me.
I didn't expect that from the Boston Celtics to be defeated by the Washington Wizards. No Kuzma, No Bradley Beal, that says what the result should and yet they were blown out by them. They were surprised by the performance of Kristaps Porzingis and Deni Avdija, I mean I was shocked too. 

Toronto Raptors covered the -3.5 against the Miami Heat which is my single win for the day.

OKC Thunder lost against the Hornets which is expected like I said in my prediction, I really made a mistake betting for them here and I cannot pull it back anymore. Finding out about SGA not playing was too late for me.

Forgot to bet for the Warriors, that was a sizzling hot game for both teams trying to get one more win. The Pelicans are eager to continue their winning streak but it was stopped by the Warriors from a big comeback game after being down by 20 points in the 2nd quarter.

Channing Frye's TNT halftime prediction was spot on. That act of Draymond Green was a wake-up call for the Warriors and it was all worth the technical foul he received.
Congratulations to all the winners.

Congratulations, mate! It was a good win, especially for the Warriors. We can never count them out when they are down, as they have a tendency to come back strong. This was evident in the game where they were behind in the first half but managed to narrow the lead to a single digit after the third quarter and eventually took over the game in the fourth quarter.

Betting online on the Warriors provides many opportunities as they are not the most dominant team due to their size, but their experience makes them adept at winning close games.

Yeah, if we have a bet on the Warriors on the ML or handicap, it's scary for the first half, even in the third, as we think that the chances of them to win is small because Pelicans took a huge lead.

But they finally found their shooting at the end of the third quarter, and usually if they make that huge comeback or at least out score teams in the third, percentage is high for them to win the game. I just had a conservative -6.5 bet on them + Magic at least to cover the 8.5 spread against the Memphis. It was also a bad bet for me, but the Magic in the fourth quarter scored big specially in the garbage time.

I was fortunate enough to win both the handicap and moneyline bets, and even a special bet where I wagered on the Warriors winning by 11 or more points, which had odds of 10.00 in my bookie. Although the amount I placed wasn't significant, I'm thrilled to have earned a decent profit today.

Regardless of the type of betting line used, the Warriors emerged victorious. Despite being down by as much as 17 points, they made a comeback in the second half and defeated the Pelicans by 11 points. The Warriors put on an impressive performance, with standout players such as JP and Curry, and particularly Draymond Green, who demonstrated his exceptional defensive skills. In the second half, the Warriors displayed their characteristic strength and dominance, reminding everyone why they are considered one of the top teams in the league.

The Warriors are currently losing. What is the best decision to make at this point, the moneyline or the handicap?

It appears that their struggles from the previous game have carried over, as they seem to be experiencing a hangover effect. However, given that they are the defending champions, there is hope that they will sort out their issues in the second half. As an alternative, I am considering placing a bet on the Warriors in the third quarter, as they have a tendency to perform well during this period, especially when they are down at the end of the first half.

Well, my picks are 0-2 so far. That doesn’t bode well for the Golden State Warriors. That game is going on now on TNT. I think most basketball fans are already looking towards tomorrow though. Kevin Durant making his home debt for the Suns against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Should be a great one as long as there aren’t any incidents in the layup line this time.

This is a great development for the Suns. Initially, many thought that Durant would miss the remainder of the season, but this news changes things significantly. With Durant's return, the Suns' chance for a championship run will be significantly increased. As a Warriors fan, it would be a tough battle against Durant, unless Wiggins also makes a comeback during the playoffs or hopefully in the near future.

After watching a sports show earlier there was an announcement for Kevin Durant of his return to the lineup after being sidelined since his signing with the Suns.
He missed 10 games although I thought it was much more than that. He should be playing against Timberwolves on Wednesday game.

It may still be tough for the Warriors to beat the Pelicans because they are known as a defensive team and I bet Curry and Thompson will be matched with their better defensive players like Herb Jones and Trey Murphy. And they won their last 5 games.
I really don't like the high spreads being given so I might take this on live betting instead. Wait for the Pelicans to have a lead and maybe take the opportunity to bet for the Warriors at lower spreads.

I will do tail the Celtics bet.
Washington Wizards - Boston Celtics - Boston Celtics (-10.5)
Toronto Raptors - Miami Heat - Toronto Raptors (-3.5) - No Jimmy Buckets today so Raptors should take advantage of this playing at home. Gary Trent Jr. and Will Barton for the Raptors will be out.
Oklahoma City Thunder - Charlotte Hornets - Oklahoma City Thunder (-10.5) Crap, I don't know if I made a mistake here as SGA won't be playing and Terry Rozier and Kelly Oubre might be back on playing for the Hornets. Fingers crossed and will just rely on their homecourt advantage.

Bet against Orlando Magic again? I've lost so much money betting against them twice. I kind of in doubt now even if they are up against the Grizzlies.

Good luck guys.

∆ Tyler Herro O4.5 assists @1.86 ∆  won

Tyler Herro O4.5 assists is a rather popular pick amongst the bball betting community today and rightfully so. It's difficult to ignore the fact that Jimmy Butler will not play and Lowry is still not 100% (his minutes will be down and come off the bench again) making Herro the primary ballhandler. He has covered the line in the last three games he has played this season without Butler. I'd say Raps have decent to very good on-ball defenders in Barnes and OG, which could make it difficult for Herro to score, whereas the Heat have reliable three-point shooters starting (Love, Strus, Vincent) and obviously the PnR/PnP options with Bam. Game is on TNT, so i'm hoping they don't repeat their performance against the Nets a few days ago, specifically the 31-6 run in the third quarter.

Here are my picks for today's game,

Atlanta Hawks VS Cleveland Cavaliers

The stake odds for this game are 1.88 for the Hawks and 1.97 for the Cavaliers, right now Jalen Johnson, can not play for the Hawks, while Danny Green, and Raul Neto, can not play for the Cleveland Jarrett Allen, Isaac Okoro, and Dean Wade are doubtful if they can play, for this game because of the number of injuries I think Cleveland Cavaliers will not function that well, so my pick will be the Atlanta Hawks,

Toronto Raptors VS Miami Heat

The stake odds for this game are 1.64 for the Raptors and 2.33 for the Heat, right now Dalano Banton, can not play for the Raptors Ron Harper Jr., Joe Wieskamp, Will Barton, and Gary Trent Jr., are all doubtful if they can play for the Raptors, while Nikola Jovic, can not play for the Heat, Kyle Lowry and Jimmy Butler are doubtful if they can play for the Heat, for this game this will be a close one, this will surely depend on who's going to play or not, so I think my pick will be the Toronto Raptors,

Memphis Grizzlies VS Orlando Magic

The stake odds for this game are 1.35 for the Grizzlies and 3.35 for the Magic, Right now Vince Williams Jr., Ziaire Williams, and Steven Adams, can not play for the Grizzlies, and Ja Morant is doubtful if he can play for this game now, while Kevon Harris can not play for the Magic, and Jonathan Isaac is out for this season, for this game there is no doubt that the Grizzlies are my pick even though I hate Dynasty Brooks in it,

Golden State Warriors VS New Orleans Pelicans

The stake odds for this game are 1.28 for the Warriors and 3.90 for the Pelicans, right now Andrew Wiggins, Andre Iguodala, and Ty Jerome, can not play for the Warriors, and Draymond Green, and Jordan Poole are doubtful they can play for the Warriors, while Jose Alvarado, Zion Williamson, and E.J. Liddell can not play for the Pelicans, for this game right now Gary Payton II has returned and he is really effective in his return so my pick is no doubt the Golden State Warriors,

Not too much excitement tonight but I do see an opportunity for a decent 3 game parlay opportunity. I think the Boston Celtics should beat the Washington Wizards without too much effort. Then you have the OKC Thunder beating the Charlotte Hornets to keep up their playoff race. Then finally I like the Golden State Warriors over the Zion-less New Orleans Pelicans.
