Congratulations bro and to those who won last night.

Now about your picks, we have almost the same choices here.   And also the same game that we avoided. The Pelicans vs Hornets game. -10.5 for the Pelicans seems to be a questionable thing for me because the Hornets can sometimes surprise their opponents while they are underestimating them.

Orlando Magic - New York Knicks - New York Knicks (-1.5) I don't like betting against the Orlando Magic actually but this time the Knicks are hungry after 2 defeats. They may force this one and perform way better because after this, a long rest and they will be back home at MSG versus the Rockets.

Brooklyn Nets - Cleveland Cavaliers - Cleveland Cavaliers (-2.5) The Cavs are hot with 2 wins. They may want to go further for 3 streak wins.
The roster is clean, with no injuries, and every player can contribute so the Nets will be in big trouble here with the Cavs' big men being available.

This is where we differ @stadus.
Los Angeles Clippers - Oklahoma City Thunder - Los Angeles Clippers (-2.5) I like the Clippers' chances and giving their bench some play time while PG13 is out. Kawhi might also step up his game one more notch as he will be the focus of their offense.

Good luck!
Haha, you are one of the victims of the 1 point spread loss. I saw a lot of people who have the same result in the Stake.com chatbox. The Warriors just let him shoot it without D. Thankfully, I took the -1.5 only. Sorry for your loss.

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.

Weirdly enough I just made my 3 bets for the night and they are exactly the same as yours.  I never ever pick 3 road teams but with tonight's choices.  I took the spead with okc though at +4, hate taking the money line on a road dog.  Think the Paul George injury is gonna hurt them bad though.  We'll see.

Got lucky enough to with the games earlier as I managed to get 3/4 bets right. That Dallas was somehow unexpected because Kyrie Irving didn't play, Luka badly needed him.

For the games later, here's mine.

New York Knicks -3.5 vs Orlando Magic
Cleveland Cavaliers -3.5 vs Brooklyn Nets
Oklahoma City Thunder ML vs Los Angeles Clippers

A miserable day for me I guess... or not. 1/4 only today and the one with the lowest odds is the one where I won.

Miami Heat - New York Knicks - New York Knicks @ 2.07 - LOST
- The game was close the whole game until the final minutes of the game where the Heat stepped up, and getting the victory. Butler lead his team with 35 points, while Herro also scored 22 points. It's good to see bench players like Vincent, Struss and Lowry stepping up and scoring double digits.

Dallas Mavericks - Golden State Warriors - Dallas Mavericks @ 2.16 - LOST
- Curry did an easy lay-up to push the lead up to 3, the Mavericks made a very bad possession in the crucial seconds that caused them the game. TBH, the referees are kinda sus because they don't want to give Draymond Green his 6th foul even though there are some instances where he already fouled a Mavericks player. Anyway, a win is a win, and speaking of wins, it's the first time that the Warriors won back-to-back on the road this season. Curry only has 20 points, but had 13 assists. Overall, it was a collective effort for the Warriors that's why they won.

Los Angeles Lakers - Phoenix Suns - Phoenix Suns @ 1.89 - LOST
- Am I the only one seeing Reaves as a starter tonight? I mean after his career night, he already has been a starter, and it seems like he is having a good night as well scoring 25 points and 11 assists. This kid needs that $50M 4 year contract. He might be a big help offensively if their superstars are out. Anyway, good game for the Lakers.

Chicago Bulls - Philadelphia 76ers - Philadelphia 76ers @1.63 - WIN
- Didn't watch the game, but when I saw that the Sixers had a 22 point lead in the 1st quarter alone, I knew what will happen already. They got that lead, and never looked back. Embiid only played 16 minutes and scored 12 points. Is he injured? Anyway, the Bulls as a whole team just played very awful in their home to the point that the points of their bench players are more than the points of their starters. :X

Congratulations to all who won at their bets.

These will be my predictions tomorrow, I'll do a 4 parlay bets with 4.9x odds. I'll bet $20 for this parlay matches and my profit can be $98. Let's see if I'll get lucky tomorrow. The strategy that I use for today is mainly focusing on the favorite teams tonight, so my prediction will be all of the underdog will be defeated tomorrow. It can be called a risky move but anything can happen. If I didn't win tomorrow, then it is still okay for me because the $20 is the amount of money that I am prepared to lose. Many bettors have negative emotions whenever they lose in parlay betting especially in NBA games because it is really hard to predict and to analyze because of different factors that you should always consider like homecourts, injuries, mental health of the players and many more. If you experienced any negative emotions like regret, hatred, sadness and many more. It only means that the amount of money that you bet is so big and you did not fully accepted the risks.

Tomorrow Matches Prediction

Brooklyn Nets VS Cleveland Cavs

Newyork Knicks VS Orlando Magic

New Orleans Pelicans VS Charlotte Hornets

Oklahoma City Thunder VS Los Angeles Clippers

I haven't checked their outside shooting statistics on their home court, but I believe that they have a high 3-point percentage at home, which is why they are dominant on their home court.

Perhaps that's his style, but Luka is already a star player. If he can form a strong tandem with Irving, I think they will have a chance to win the championship.

It's 3 of 4, my friend. 

The Warriors somehow covered the -1.5 bet even though Bullock's last three-point shot was counted. The Timberwolves' bet though was a waste, they had a good lead in the 4th but it became messy at the last minute of the game where Trae Young could easily attack the rim.
The Twolves won but did not cover the -3.5.

Yeah, finally, some good win against a team with a superstar opponent. But I still want to see them sinking in those three-point shots. In their last 4 games they are not shooting the usual.
Here are their stats in the 3 point line on their last 4 games.
12/39 vs Mavs - 4 of those are from Donte, 2 for Curry, and 1 for Klay.
17/48 vs Rockets
13/35 vs Grizzlies
11/40 vs Hawks
Below 30-35 percent if I am not mistaken which ain't normal for a team that is popular to shoot threes accurately every game. The paint attack worked today, but it might not work the next game. They must find out what the heck is happening to their outside shots.

About Luka. I agree. This ain't the Luka growing to be a star, he use to just let it go, smile, and get it back the next possession, but now he wastes more time complaining to the referee than playing or going back to defense.

I feel the same way. After defeating two of the strongest teams in the NBA, they lost to a struggling Portland Trail Blazers. It seems that the -5 point spread was a trap. Perhaps, the Utah Jazz are a good bet when they are listed as underdogs.

The Grizzlies have won. Score was 130-125, just a 5 point lead by them.

Just a bad day and just try to recover again with your bets for this day or maybe by tomorrow. There's some quite crazy reaction over GSW's win against the Mavs.

Anyway, I wouldn't go deeper with it. A win is a win no matter what controversy they've got.

Here are the results of my picks

Miami Heat VS New York Knicks SCORE 127 - 120 - LOST

Well, the New York Knicks really did their best and it was actually a close game but Jimmy Butler just firing up, the Knicks also had more turnovers than the Heat, with 16 turnovers for the Knicks and 10 for the Heat, they surely lost it, Tyler Herro got 22 points and Jimmy Butler got 35 points,

Dallas Mavericks VS Golden State Warriors SCORE 125 - 127 - LOST

The Mavericks has a good start while the Warriors were really struggling in their away game, and yeah another loss for me for not trusting the Warriors, No Kyrie Irving and they got a little busted, Stephen Curry has a double-double of 13 assists and 20 points and Jonathan Kuminga got 22 points,

Chicago Bulls VS Philadelphia 76ers SCORE 91 - 116 - WIN

It was a dominant performance for the 76ers Joel Embiid didn't do much and only played 16 mins but his teammates have proven that they can surely do it, without Harden Tyrese Maxey got 21 points and De'Anthony Melton got 25 points,

Utah Jazz VS Portland Trail Blazers SCORE 115 - 127 - LOST

I really thought that the Jazz will do it while Lauri Markkanen had pulled 40 points now they busted and lost because the Trail Blazers got a great spread, Shaedon Sharpe got 24 points and Damian Lillard has a double-double of 12 assists and 30 points,

Los Angeles Lakers won tonight, I thought that the Suns would comeback the game espcially in the 3rd quarter, but luckily D angelo Russel and Anthony Davis make sure that they should win the game. What a stiff competition in the Western Conference espcially in the 4th seed to 12th seed, the Win and lose of the team belong there are completely tied. The games in these following days are so exciting, hoping to see the lakers to be in the top 10 in the Western conference.

I did a parlay bet but it became invalidated because I lose in 2 matches. I thought that DAL will defeat the GSW but the GSW did not let it happen. There are commotions in the game earlier and the Owner of the Dallas said that they will have petition to what happened. 76ers easily defeated the Chicago bulls, it is expected for me because they have now good chemistry as a team. I'll post a bet for tomorrow's game so goodluck to us!

Nice one, 2/4 won for you tonight, that's still quite, I lost all my bets for the night, Utah Jazz lost to Trailblazers and more surprisingly the red Chicago Bulls of the past few games ago became very ice cold and and couldn't even keep it close against 76ers, maybe I was just being naive and believed that they could extend winning run to 4 games.

Finally the Golden state warriors were able to win a road game against a really decent team in the Dallas Mavericks, the game was a very close one, but I felt the officials were quite bias against the warriors and there were some many none calls for them, and these are very obvious fouls, and there you have Luka Doncic complaining about every singe decision made by the referee, and despite being a great player, he's gradually becoming an irritant for me with that antics of his.

So many games tonight, but not that much money for me to bet. Anyway, here are my bets for tonight's games.

Miami Heat - New York Knicks - New York Knicks @ 2.07
- Currently, the Knicks have one of the best road records right now in the league, and because of that I think they will steal one on the road against the Heat. Anyway, the game is on-going with the Heat leading by 3 at the 2nd quarter.

Dallas Mavericks - Golden State Warriors - Dallas Mavericks @ 2.16
- Warriors will play on the road that's why I put my bet on the Mavericks. Luka is playing currently while Irving is ruled out. I put my bet on the Mavericks simply because it will be played on their home, and we know how awful the Warriors are on the road. One road game win isn't enough for the momentum to shift for the defending champs.

Los Angeles Lakers - Phoenix Suns - Phoenix Suns @ 1.89
- Davis is on a day-to-day status, but there are some posts on Facebook that I saw, and it says there that they might be letting Davis to play in back-to-back games. Still, I think the Suns can win on the road even though Ayton will not play.

Chicago Bulls - Philadelphia 76ers - Philadelphia 76ers @1.63
- Currently, the Sixers are leading by 18 points at the first quarter, and with their loss against them in double overtime a few days ago, I guessed that they will come back stronger and defeat the Bulls that's why I put my bet on them.

Good Luck to all bettors.

The only bet that could worth it is the personal player props on Ja Morant, the Memphis Coach have already made it known that Ja Morant will only be starting from the bench, so it's yet to be known how many minutes he'll be getting and that could have effect on whether or not to go for the overs or unders, but regardless the coach said it will remain like that for the next couple of games, so if he doesn't get huge minutes here I'd expect the amount of minutes in their next games, but for tonight I have him on Over 5.5 assists with the hope he'd be very much less aggressive offensively and do more of facilitating the plays.

I've read some news about Ja Morant is going to come back tonight. It's not about being a fan or what but it's all about the potential odds and bets that we can take advantage of.

They'll be against Houston Rockets so, before it's too late cast your bets.

1.12 for Grizzlies

6.80 for Rockets.

∆ FVV 1+ steals / P. Siakam 6+ rebounds / J. Poeltl 10+ points @1.70 ∆   won

Pacers are second in turnovers per game /L3 with Haliburton missing yet another game, i can't see those numbers drop with him not in the lineup. FVV is averaging 2.6 steals /L7 and has cleared the line in 7/L7. Also, Pacers give the fourth most steals to opposing point guards on the season.

Siakam's total rebounds have ballooned over the past three games with 12 a game (14/10/12), which is almost twice better than what he averages on the season, so i guess i'm trying to catch a trend here.

Poeltl has excellent underlying numbers, and has seen double-digit scoring in 16/L20 and 6/L7. The Raptors have a few banged-up guys today so he may get more scoring opportunities than usual. Worth noting, Pacers allow the fourth most points to opposing centers on the season. My only concern with him is that he sometimes gets into early foul trouble, which can hurt his production...hopefully that's not the case today.

10 games. Wow!

I will tail @stadus at his Denver Nuggets pick with just a different spread. A bit more greedy. 
Washington Wizards - Denver Nuggets - Denver Nuggets (-7.5) I know the Wizards are not to be underestimated but the Nuggets are also hungry after a bad 10 games record (5-5). They are the top seed, they must put fear in every team out there and show how strong they are.
Another reason for the Wizards being a heavy underdog is Bradley Beal and Kyle Kuzma missing this game.

I am going against the pick of @YuginKadoya in the Miami Heat versus New York Knicks game. I will pick the Miami Heat ML.
Not that I underestimate the Knicks but it seems like they are having a hard time adjusting after Brunson came back. Then, the Heat will try to force one more win to claim the 6th spot with 40 wins against 39 of the Brooklyn Nets.

Dallas Mavericks - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors (-1.5) Mavs home. Luka in, Kyrie out. Both teams 4-6 out of their last 10 games.
This will be a tough match and I am not 100 percent sure the Warriors could snatch this one. The chances of this going in a close game or overtime may happen if the Mavs can match something against the splash brothers.

Minnesota Timberwolves - Atlanta Hawks - Minnesota Timberwolves (-3.5) Even without Anthony Edwards, the Twolves surprisingly won against the Knicks in a strong ending. I think they can also handle the Hawks with their tight defensive stand.

Good luck everyone.

I was in a hurry to bet yesterday, so I just got one, which is the Magic vs Wizards, Magic at ML @1.92 odds.

---

And the Wizards are going to face the Nuggets next, it's going to be back to back for them obviously and maybe the Nuggets can steal one at the road against Washington, -6.5.

Golden State vs Dallas - GSW now a favorite on the road, hehehe, -2.5 for them. I guess Luka is still not going to play.
Hawks vs T'Wolves - It's being reported that KAT might suit up in this game that's why they become the favorite, but I will go with 4.5 for the Hawks.

I am still doubting them, pretty much what I see on paper will not truly show what they are playing right now, but they are also not the worst team out there either, and they are not a great team aswell, that will surely be put to the Detroit Pistons, just because they are at the bottom of the position list,

---

Here are my picks for today's game,

Miami Heat VS New York Knicks

The stake odds for this game are 1.80 for the Heat and 2.06 for the Knicks, Right now Cody Zeller, can not play for the Heat Kyle Lowry and Caleb Martin are both doubtful if they can play for the Heat, while Duane Washington Jr. is doubtful if he can play for the New York Knicks, and for the game, I think this is going to be a close game but the lack of Kyle Lowry and Caleb Martin for the Heat means unbearable lost for them if both those players can not play this is a win for the Knicks, for me this bet can change but will be going with the Knicks,

Dallas Mavericks VS Golden State Warriors

The stake odds for this game are 1.95 for the Mavericks and 1.90 for the Warriors, Right now Tim Hardaway Jr., Kyrie Irving, Markieff Morris, and Luka Doncic are all doubtful if they can play for the Mavericks, while Andre Iguodala, Andrew Wiggins, Gary Payton II, and Ty Jerome can not play for the Warriors, Kevon Looney, and Draymond Green, are both doubtful if they can play for the Warriors, Right now it is weird that the Warriors is having a slump despite having Stephen Curry performing well, and right now Jordan Poole is not contributing to well and Wiggins are missing in action, and right now they are not at home so my pick is the Dallas Mavericks,

Chicago Bulls VS Philadelphia 76ers

The stake odds for this game are 2.33 for the Bulls and 1.64 for the 76ers, Right now Javonte Green, and Alex Caruso are both doubtful if they can play while Jalen McDaniels, James Harden, and P.J. Tucker are all doubtful if they can play for the 76ers, that is why for this game I will be picking the 76ers for I think Harden can still play for the Team,

Utah Jazz VS Portland Trail Blazers

The stake odds for this game are 1.51 for the Jazz and 2.65 for the Trail Blazers, Right now Jordan Clarkson, and Collin Sexton, can not play for the Jazz, while Nassir Little, Ibou Badji, Justise Winslow, Anfernee Simons, and Jerami Grant can not play for the Trail Blazer, so because of that many known injuries for the Trail Blazers I think my pick is the Utah Jazz for sure,
