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.

Currently, the Jazz are 2 games behind the 10th seeded Thunder, and looking at their remaining schedule, 6 of their 7 games are against either teams who are sure already of clinching the playoffs, or teams who are fighting for the spot like the Thunder and the Lakers (twice). Kind of hard schedule is the least that I can say, but who knows.
They are not in a good situation now, and looking at their last 10 games, they are only 4-6. You can see how much they are struggling. It seems like they have lost their hunger to win. After having some good wins, they are now experiencing a losing streak. I see that the more hungry teams to win in the West who are in competition with the Jazz are the Lakers and Pelicans, who are already on a good run now.
If that's the case, then betting against the Jazz might be a good idea. While they are struggling, other teams are winning, and they might be eliminated from the competition soon. We have Dallas, Lakers, and OKC, who are also playing hard to climb into the top 10. That's their only chance to make it to the play-in, so if the Jazz don't win their remaining games, it would mean they are giving up their chances.

Their next game is against the Celtics on the road, and the Celtics will likely try to avenge their previous loss. This could be another possible loss for the Jazz.

I will expect that the Jazz will come back more stronger next season as they will rectify their mistakes and improve what they lack this upcoming off-season.

They have built great chemistry already, and for sure, they will be even stronger next season. Hopefully, Clarkson will be healthy again so he can help the team. Sometimes, you can really rely on him in clutch moments, as he always delivers. I'm seeing that he is an underrated superstar, but we don't know how long he will stay with the Jazz if his demands are not met.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Utah Jazz have 15 future draft picks. Talking about Danny Ainge thinking a mile away from other teams.
Another one is that, at the start of the season, when we saw that they traded Mitchell and Gobert already, we already know that they are on a rebuilding phase already. It's just that, we didn't expect how they performed at the start of the season, but we know that it wasn't sustainable until the end of the season.

The Jazz are now on a rebuilding phase, and with that many future draft picks, we really expect that they have many assets to use so that they can get at least an all-star player or an emerging one. Chemistry has been there already, and aside from that, they also have key players that might help the team like Markannen and Clarkson. Their big guy Walker Kessler is performing really well as a rookie this season as well. They have many trade assets as well with their draft picks.

Finally, Dallas won a game, and it was a great victory as they won by double digits. I hope to see them continue to play with good chemistry, especially against good teams. If they keep losing, they risk being in the play-in tournament, which could hurt their chance of making it to the playoffs.

The spread was -7.5, and it was covered well. Congratulations to the winners.
Yes, finally and I also won my bet for them, thankfully.  Grin

@LogitechMouse - Bro, I admire your courage for betting this early, especially at this part of the season where most teams would rest their stars by chance if ever they see they don't really need to make another win, just protecting them for the playoffs.

2/3 for my early bets.
Dallas Mavericks won against the Indiana Pacers in a blowout.
Milwaukee Bucks won against the Detroit Pistons just like I predicted even without Jrue Holiday and Giannis but they didn't cover my spread @-11.5. That hurt a bit, this could have been a perfect early bet day.
Phoenix Suns also won their game against the Utah Jazz. With Ayton back, they won't have any problem about the rim protector and he is a threat too for alley-oop plays.

1/2 for my live bets.
Denver Nuggets won against the 76ers but the other game was sadly a loss although it was purely entertaining, Sacramento Kings lost against the Timberwolves who are badly looking for a win. I should've considered that fact as they are trying to snatch the 6th seed from the Warriors.

The Utah Jazz are fighting for their chance to make the play-in tournament. They are currently on a three-game losing streak and are now playing against the Suns. This is fun to watch because the scores are close, and since they are playing at home, I believe they have a decent chance of winning the game.

There's still no Durant for the Suns and no Clarkson for the Jazz. But even without Clarkson, the Jazz have shown that they are still a good team that can beat top-ranked teams. The Suns should not be an exception to that as the Jazz have already beaten the Celtics and the Kings before on the same floor.

They lost in the 4th quarter, which is unfortunate for them. The game ended with a score of 117-103 in favor of the road team. I think as they continue to lose, they might miss the play-in opportunity this season.

However, I still think we can call this season successful for the Jazz, since they weren't expected to compete at a high level. I believe most of us expected them to tank this season.

Yes, the Utah Jazz had an unexpected run this season and that was really unexpected from a team that was just formed last off-season, and take note, they are still on a rebuilding process. The management couldn't be more happy with the performance their team gave and honestly, this is not a failure on their side because the newly formed roster gave the other teams on the league a hard time.

No need to demand more from this team because even if they can participate in the playoffs, they won't reach further because they are still an unexperienced team.
I will expect that the Jazz will come back more stronger next season as they will rectify their mistakes and improve what they lack this upcoming off-season.

Here are the result for today's game picks

Indiana Pacers VS Dallas Mavericks SCORE 104 - 127 - WIN

It may be an easy game for the Mavericks from start to finish they are on the lead Bennedict Mathurin was firing up but it was not enough the mavericks were surely strong enough for them, Kyrie Irving got 16 points, and Jaden Hardy got 20 points, and Luka Doncic got 25 points,

Utah Jazz VS Phoenix Suns SCORE 103 - 117 - LOST

I was really wrong about getting a risky bet for the Jazz, even though Lauri Markkanen played it was not enough, Terrence Ross got 13 points, Deandre Ayton got 14 points and Devin Booker got 24 points, they don't really need Kevin Durant during this game,

Denver Nuggets VS Philadelphia 76ers SCORE 116 - 111 - WIN

It surely was a close game but the Nuggets had a great start for this game while Nikola Jokic have done it again with another triple-double for him, Bruce Brown got 18 points, Jamal Murray got 19 points and Nikola Jokic has a triple-double of 17 rebounds and 12 assists and 25 points,

Los Angeles Clippers VS Chicago Bulls SCORE 124 - 112 - LOST

It was a close game I really thought that the Chicago Bulls will win this match it was Clippers Nicolas Batum was the man for the job, for the Clippers, and Eric Gordon, and Kawhi Leonard both got 22 points and Nicolas Batum got 24 points,

I would say it's been come all along, after Luka Doncic had what would have been is 16th Technical Foul of the season and kept out of the was rescinded, It knew it was going to be a walk in the park for the Dallas Mavericks who had obviously struggled in their last 4 matches, Luka Doncic complain to the referee tip-off to the final buzzer usually doesn't help his case, and that's where most of his Ts had stem from more so deservedly, but it would have cost his a great ordeal had the decision stood, although I had no idea why he got T'd in that game, I watched every minute of the game, he could gotten in other instance, but he hadn't made any gesture to have warranted the T, hence why the league had to take another look into it.

I don't know what the bookies expected of a Pacers team, with Haliburton, Buddy Hield or Myles Turner to have overrated them that much, perhaps it due to the Mavericks recent struggles, rather than how difficult the Pacer were expected to be.

It's been a long time since I bet Cheesy. Anyway, here are my bets for today's ballgame.

Los Angeles Clippers - Chicago Bulls - Los Angeles Clippers
- With the loss of Clippers on their last game against the Pelicans, I believe that they will get the victory on this one on their home. They also need this win so that they can clinch to 40 wins and get that 4th spot from the Phoenix Suns. If the Bulls will get this win on the road though, they will be tied with the Hawks and the Raptors with 36-38. Still I'd go with the Clippers on this one.

Atlanta Hawks - Cleveland Cavaliers - Cleveland Cavaliers
- With the win of the Cavaliers on their last game, they already clinch the playoffs, and it's the first since they rebuild the team. Anyway, many of the role players of the Cavaliers are questionable and probable including Jarrett Allen, but with how deep their roster is, I believe they can steal one on the road against the Hawks.

Toronto Raptors - Miami Heat - Toronto Raptors
- The Raptors might go to 8th seed if they will win on this one (or not depending on the games of Chicago and Atlanta). As for the Heat, they're already 3 games above the 8th seeded Hawks, and they're currently on the 7th spot. I think that the Raptors will defend their home court, and get the win.

Good Luck to the bettors. Smiley

Detriot Piston vs Milwaukee Bucks (-11.5)
The Milwaukee Bucks (53-21) will visit the Detriot Pistons (16-58) tonight at Little Caesars Arena. The Milwaukee Bucks have covered the spread in 2 of 3 meetings with the Pistons this season.
Bucks key injuries: Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) probable, Jae Crowder (calf) probable
Pistons Key injuries: Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles) out, Alec Burks (foot) out, Hamidou Diallo (ankle) out, Corey Joseph (illness) questionable, Rodney McGruder (foot) questionable

Indiana Pacers vs Dallas Mavericks
The Dallas Mavericks (36-39) will visit the Indiana Pacers (33-42) tonight at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The Mavericks are in a slump right now but they could pull a win against the Indiana Pacers at their home.
Pacers key injuries: Chris Duarte (ankle) out, Tyrese Haliburton (ankle) questionable, Myles Turner (back) questionable

Utah Jazz vs Phoenix Suns (-5.5)
The Phoenix Suns (39-35) will visit the Utah Jazz (35-39) tonight at Vivint Arena. The last 8 wins of the Suns against the Jazz this season is more than 6 points. So, -5.5 is very doable if the Suns win.
Suns key injuries: Deandre Ayton (hip) probable, Kevin Durant (ankle) out
Jazz key injuries: Jordan Clarkson (hand) out, Rudy Gay (back) out, Lauri Markkanen (hand) questionable, Collin Sexton (hamstring) out

To add that devastating fourth straight lost against the Charlotte Hornets, Luka Doncic is now suspended for tomorrow's game versus the Indiana Pacers. But I think they can still make it this time as the Pacers key players are still questionable to play but if they will then that will be a serious challenge for the remaining players of Mavericks because this opposing team is also unpredictable.
True. It starts in 30 minutes, thankfully I caught up before the game started.
Indiana Pacers - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks (-6.5) Is Luka Doncic suspended? I saw his name in the player props. I mean, that will help them big time if he will play but even without him, I think the Mavs can somehow win this game. Without surprises of course.  Cheesy

Detroit Pistons - Milwaukee Bucks - Milwaukee Bucks (-11.5) Giannis out, Holiday out too, but we have seen this team play better even without their stars and won games. Time for Bobby to shine again.

Utah Jazz - Phoenix Suns - Phoenix Suns (-5.5) - DeAndre Ayton is probable to play. Hmm, that's a good sign, his return might be near. or maybe now, I also saw his name in the props so maybe he will play.

2 great games that I would like to bet on while they are ongoing and would probably not miss to watch it.
Denver Nuggets - Philadelphia 76ers
Sacramento Kings - Minnesota Timberwolves
Nuggets and Kings are the favorites and they are playing at their homes.

Good luck everyone.
@jakelyson, congratulations on your parlay. That's a big one. Nice!

Congrats to those who won, just 1 win for me though, hehehe. Warriors lost in their homecourt, they could probably win it and covered the spread too, but they made an error, KAT shoots 3 to take the lead and then they fumbled on the last 20 or so seconds as they failed to executed any, that's not the Warriors that we used to see.

Pacers vs Mavs - both are struggling right now, but I will try to go with Indiana, they are the underdogs here, ML @3.10 and probably stake some 5.5 @2.03.
Bucks vs Detroit - time for the Bucks to get back in the win column, -11.5
Suns vs Jazz - Jazz has a lot of players in the injured list, and Suns looking for some winning streak, -6.5 for them.

Here are my picks for today's game

Indiana Pacers VS Dallas Mavericks

The stake odds for this game are 2.60 for the Pacers and 1.53 for the Mavericks, right now Buddy Hield, and Chris Duarte, can not play for the Pacers, and Tyrese Haliburton, and Myles Turner are both doubtful if they can play for the Pacers, while Maxi Kleber is doubtful if he can play for the Mavericks, for this game because of those injuries and doubtful players my pick is the Dallas Mavericks,

Utah Jazz VS Phoenix Suns

The stake odds for this game are 3.30 for the Jazz and 1.36 for the Suns, Right now Simone Fontecchio, Rudy Gay, Jordan Clarkson, and Collin Sexton can not play for the Jazz, and Lauri Markkanen is doubtful if he can play for the Jazz, while Kevin Durant, still can not play for the Suns and Deandre Ayton is doubtful if he can play for the Suns, for me because of the many injuries of the Jazz, even though Kevin Durant is not playing it is a safe bet for the Suns but Jazz can surely surprise a team sometimes, Kelly Olynyk, Ochai Agbaji, Walker Kessler, and Talen Horton-Tucker are players that can be surprising, so I might try my luck with the Utah Jazz,

Denver Nuggets VS Philadelphia 76ers

The stake odds for this game are 1.37 for the Nuggets and 3.25 for the 76ers, Right now Jack White, and Collin Gillespie, can not play for the Nuggets, and Michael Porter Jr. is doubtful if he can play for the Nuggets, while Joel Embiid, can not play for the 76ers and James Harden is doubtful if he can play for me I will go with the Denver Nuggets,

Los Angeles Clippers VS Chicago Bulls

The stake odds for this game are 1.54 for the Clippers and 2.55 for the Bulls, right now Marcus Morris, Norman Powell, Brandon Boston Jr., and Paul George can not play for the Clippers and Kawhi Leonard is doubtful if he can play for the Clippers, while Javonte Green, can not play for the Bulls and Alex Caruso is doubtful if he can play for this game, so I think because of the many injuries for the Clippers Paul George and I think Kawhi Leonard has limited time as well in playing in this game or could not play at all, for me I think that the Chicago Bulls can win this,

Winning a 3-legged parlay is a good way to start the week. I was not actually so sure about my bet, and I also did not watch the game, but I am glad when I checked that I won the parlay. I know Celtics and Cleveland will win but I have a little doubt about the spread. Luckily, I was right. I know for sure the Grizzlies will be able to win the game against the Hawks, so I am not worried about that.

Congrats to those who have a good win today!!!

Clippers vs Pels - I'll go with the Clippers at home here, -4.5 @1.88

It's too bad that the Clippers lost again. They certainly miss the services of Paul George, and Leonard struggled with only 12 points due to a poor shooting night. I hope Paul George can return soon so that this team can be competitive in the playoffs. Right now, I don't trust the Clippers, so I'll choose to bet on other teams instead, especially the Warriors, who have been impressive at home

The Clippers won't be that competitive and dangerous enough without Kawhi's buddy and main man, and they will be much tested by the opposing teams just like what happened on their last game against the Pelicans. Aside from the fact that the Clippers are incomplete, they too got way lot of errors and there's also Kawhi having a bad night with poor shooting as he was only 25% from shooting on the field. Later on, they will battle against the Bulls who are currently hot from defeating the Lakers recently.

1/3. Ouch.
Didn't win any long parlay too.

Dallas Mavericks lost against the Charlotte Hornets. It must be frustrating for Luka Doncic, he did too much on the offensive end and even had the lead in the 4th quarter yet it's not enough to claim a win. 40 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists, and a pair of steals and blocks.
2 losses against the same team on consecutive games. Now they are on the 11th spot of the West, they might miss the playoffs or even the play-in if this won't change.

To add that devastating fourth straight lost against the Charlotte Hornets, Luka Doncic is now suspended for tomorrow's game versus the Indiana Pacers. But I think they can still make it this time as the Pacers key players are still questionable to play but if they will then that will be a serious challenge for the remaining players of Mavericks because this opposing team is also unpredictable.
