Here are my picks for today's game,

Miami Heat VS Brooklyn Nets

The stake odds for this game are 1.43 for the Heat and 2.90 for the Nets, Right now Cody Zeller, Nikola Jovic, can not play for the Heat, Caleb Martin, and Kyle Lowry, are doubtful if they can play for the Heat, while Ben Simmons, and Seth Curry can not play for the Nets, so with this game It is really clear who's going to win for this game and my pick is the Miami Heat to win this game,

Denver Nuggets VS Milwaukee Bucks

The stake odds for this game are 1.67 for the Nuggets and 2.27 for the Bucks, Right now Collin Gillespie, can not play for the Nuggets while Goran Dragic, Jae Crowder, Meyers Leonard, and Khris Middleton are all doubtful if they can play for the Bucks, for this game if those 4 mentioned can not play for the Bucks, or if they are not 100% in their playing ifficientcy then my pick would be the Denver Nuggets,

Phoenix Suns VS Philadelphia 76ers

The stake odds for this game are 1.82 for the Suns and 2.04 for the 76ers Right now Kevin Durant can not play and may return to the Suns at least March 29, while Deandre Ayton, is doubtful if he's going to play for the Suns, while James Harden, Joel Embiid, Danuel House Jr., and Jalen McDaniels are all doubtful if they can play for the 76ers, well even tough they are questionable I think they can still play for the 76ers so my pick will be the Philadelphia 76ers,

Los Angeles Clippers VS New Orleans Pelicans

The stake odds for this game are 1.50 for the Clippers and 2.70 for the Pelicans, Right now Brandon Boston Jr., Paul George, and Norman Powell can not play for the Clippers, while E.J. Liddell, Jose Alvarado, and Zion Williamson, can not play for the Pelicans and Trey Murphy III is doubtful if he can play for the Pelicans, for this game, even without Paul George I think Kawhi Leonard will need to make a great play in this game with the assists of Russell WestBrick just to win, for me I think that the Los Angeles Clippers is my pick,

GG between 76ers and Golden state warriors, Jordan Poole also had to step up a lot today in order to assist the Splash bros, he was the warriors highest points scorers tonight 33 points and 6/11 from deep, warriors are now pulling clear from the play-in tournament, they should be able move up to as high as the 4th position, if they're able to remain consistent down the stretch and not lose another important player on their roster to injury.
Let's just hope that Poole will be playing like this all throughout the playoffs, or at least most of the playoff games, or they don't have a chance to defend their title.

Both Curry and Thompson is a stress for their opposing team already, but what if they had another player who can shot, and as efficient as both of them. Poole has been inconsistent all throughout the season, but when he erupts, it really is a big help for the whole team. They won the first out of their four home games, and looking at their opponents in that 4 games, the Sixers are the hardest one to defeat with, and with this win, I guess the Warriors can easily win against the Timberwolves, Pelicans and Spurs on their home, but still everything can happen. It's just that the Warriors are playing really well on their home.

Anyway, I would love to see Splash Brothers + Poole Party raining threes on the playoffs. Cheesy

It is really likely especially in the playoffs, I think Jordan Poole has been like that since last playoffs, it's just that he is not that reliable because of his inconsistency. I believe he was given a good exposure last season because Klay Thompson was still out of ACL injury and Steph Curry needed a duo. What Steve Kerr did is he let Poole have the experience to develop his offensive skills. Playoffs came, Poole was one one of the keys why they won the title again.

Consistency had always been the problem for Poole and then the mistakes. It's getting lesser so Steve Kerr might be a little happy now.

In the game against the 76ers, Poole was very effective. He wasn't careless and didn't try to take over the ball from Curry. Instead, he waited for opportunities and played his role well. Poole will eventually mature as a player, and with his championship experience, I'm sure he has already improved a lot and will play even better in the coming playoffs.

That's how the adjustment should be done, he waited for the ball and let the Splach bro to find him and give him enough space to make a much better look and make a basket.

I like how Curry move the ball in the last few minutes of the game, he keeps finding both Poole and Klay before
taking his own shot to seal the game.

Congrats to all Warriors supporters!

A little you say. Cheesy Well, I guess yes, and knowing that they will play 3 more games on their home, Kerr will be happier if he will see Poole being consistent in their next 3 games.

The problem here is not Poole alone; it's the Warriors' system. They need to be consistent in order for their players to contribute good numbers. We've seen Poole's stats drop when Curry returned, but as long as he contributes according to the designed play, then there's no problem with that.

In fact, even Curry and Thompson have struggled on the road. During their matchup against the Grizzlies, they lost by double digits, and both Curry and Thompson had a poor shooting night.

Curry: 5-15
Thompson: 6-17

Damn Joel Embiid went to the stripe 22 times, that's more that the total score made by Klay Thompson.  Cheesy
Looney had a hard time stopping that big muscle of his but somehow the Warriors took advantage of the time when he was benched. I guess that's what is missing with the 76ers, the deep bench while the Warriors do have a system where even the bench players can contribute while their stars are resting.
That's what Embiid is good at as well.
His footwork is better than most of the bigs out there, but at the same time, he is also good at drawing fouls. No wonder why he is now the current leading in the MVP race, and TBH, he might spoil the 3rd straight MVP of Jokic, and if that happens, Embiid really deserves it. I just hope that how he is playing on regular season will be the same when they are in the playoffs, because he's playing on an MVP level, but he didn't even reach the Conference Finals yet.

Let's just hope that Poole will be playing like this all throughout the playoffs, or at least most of the playoff games, or they don't have a chance to defend their title.

We have an exciting game to watch and bet on tomorrow. I see this as a potential championship matchup between the Bucks and the Nuggets. The Nuggets are favored by -2.5 points at home, and they are probably the public favorite in this game.

What do you think, is it right to bet on the home team or should we continue to back the Bucks, who have been so dominant in their past few games?

The 76ers were missing Harden, while the Warriors were missing Wiggins. It was a fair game for me, and in fact, it was a close game. It was just that the Warriors executed their plays well in the 4th quarter. Honestly, I thought the Warriors would not be able to cover the spread, but I was happy they did.

Both bets won congratulations, I could have backed Chicago bulls today knowing fully well that Portland Trailblazers are missing a lot of players, including the likes of Afernee Simons, Jerami Grant and Nurkic who just back a little while ago, while I was right with my analysis I couldn't just trust the Bulls enough and Demar DeRozan missing was the major reason why I passed on that bet.
Yeah, and so do the Chicago Bulls.
Well, I just trusted the bet of @ChiBitCTy as I knew he was a big fan of the Bulls. Somehow they did win and covered the spread. I like how they are eager to win every game now.

I now see Embiid at the player props at Stake.com so I guess he will be playing this game. James Harden's name is missing though. Despite that, the lines are still not changing so I will still tail your pick but with a lesser handicap just to be sure.
Golden State Warriors - Philadelphia 76ers - Golden State Warriors (-3.5)
 
And my final pick.
Sacramento Kings - Phoenix Suns - Sacramento Kings (-3.5) Light the beam! Sabonis should try dominating the paint on this game without Ayton for the Suns to defend the rim.

I'll be betting a couple games this weekend, starting tonight with the Chicago Bulls facing off against the Portland Trailblazers.  The Bulls have been hot, and in the past when they start to get hot and I start to lay wagers on them based off that...It's come back to bite me in the rear, but I think they are finally starting to play together and knocking off crappier teams such as the Blazers shouldn't be too difficult, especially when it's only -4.5 pt spread. 

We shall see though!
I like that bet so I will tail it. Chicago Bulls -4.5. I believe they now know how crucial each game will be for them to stay in the top 10 and have a chance in the play-in tournament.

I was so sleepy last night that I forget to make my singles but there are still late games thankfully.
Warriors vs Philly - I'll go with GSW -5.5 @2.01. If there is no Embiid and Harden, Warriors will take advantage of that.

Yeah, just 1/3 for me, the Cavs though, they need to make a huge comeback and another thriller 3 in the corner for them to win. They have the games already, but they allowed the Nets in the 4th quarter to build momentum and a good lead.

Lots of crucial games for teams that are trying to go to the playoffs:

Warriors vs Philly - I'll go with GSW -5.5 @2.01. If there is no Embiid and Harden, Warriors will take advantage of that.
Bulls vs Portland - I'm with the Bulls here, -5.5 as well with @1.93

Close games.

This is the reason why I am always doubting about betting against the Orlando Magic. Damn, they are really strong when they are being cornered. The Magic won by 5 points against the Knicks with a frustrated Julius Randle. (again) I like the competitive spirit but he must control it.
Lost my bet on the Knicks.

Nets versus the Cavaliers was also a close one. The Nets wasted an almost-win game. First, they let Mitchell create a deuce and1. Then when he missed the free throw, no one box him out for the rebound, they are lucky both his shot missed but LeVert caught the loose ball and found an open Isaac Okoro to shoot the game-winner three.
Sadly, the spread was not covered. Cavs won by 2, I need 3.  Cry

My only win was the Clippers, thankfully. Even without PG13, Kawhi Leonard and Westbrook stepped up their game. Bones Hyland also contributed a 16-point, 26 minutes game time. I think they should start giving him more minutes like that.

I won 2 of the 3 bets I made.  Last night I lost on the knick game too.  As a knick fan it's tough not betting them but I've hit a couple snags lately with them being on the wrong side of the spread.  Going to lay off them going forward until we get to the playoffs and see where they sit.  Still looking at the games tonight will chip in, in a bit on my 3 picks for tonight.

Damn it, Reggie Bullock hit that 3 in the last 1.7 seconds for the Dallas team to cut the lead to 2. Two days now that I'm losing with just .5 points, hehehe. Still good though, what a game between the two, and as we say there are breaks on the game and the Warriors got the better of it. Seems Kuminga is developing to be like Andrew Wiggins? what do you think? So 1/2 again for me.

I'm haven't check the games though tonight. Might edit this soon, congrats to the winners!!

Edit: Here's my pick.

Magic vs Knicks - Magic, live betting ML @2.10.
Cavs vs Nets - Cavs -3.5 @1.89
Clippers vs OKC - OKC 4.5 @1.96.

Nice hit on the Magic, and also, the Cavs made a comeback, but unfortunately, the spread was not covered. With a 1-3 record, maybe tomorrow will be a better day for betting. I'm sure you'll end up on the positive side. Let's enjoy the remainder of the regular season since it's going to end soon. Soon we will have the exciting play-in tournament to watch.

important games tomorrow.

Lakers vs OKC
Blazers vs Bulls.
76ers vs Warriors
charlotte vs Dallas
Raptors vs Pistons
Indiana vs Boston
Well, analyzing what you commented, I have no doubt, in fact these games will be competitive, mainly Lakers vs OKC, both need victories to be able to distance themselves and get the last seed of the playoffs... it's all very tight, LAL, OKC , Mavs and others looking for wins at the end of this regular season.

I seriously confess that the Celtics vs. Pacers game could be interesting to bet on, I believe that only if a miracle happens that Indiana can go to the playoffs.
But this victory could be interesting for the Celtics, because they will get even closer to the Bucks and try to get the 1st seed.

@Ziskinberg, Warriors and Bulls maybe.

I think the TrailBlazers will not make it to the play-in and their defense is very weak, so I like the Bulls to win even on the road.
About the Warriors, they are now -5 but Embiid and Harden is unlikely to play as they are listed as "questionable", so that's the Warriors battling the 76ers with their 2 best players.

1-Indiana
2-Bulls
3-Warriors
