They have had huge games. First, they beat the Celtics, then the Kings. These are playoff teams. I'm sure the Jazz have a chance to make the playoffs if they win the play-in. They are playing very well, and even if they don't qualify, nothing is lost for this team. They were not expected to perform this well this season. Credit should go to their coach for the success. He is a genius.

After a perfect win, now a perfect loss.
I should've listened to my instinct to avoid the high spreads favorites. It's too risky, but I will just have to live with it and get it back another day.

Results:
Sacramento Kings -5.5 - Lost against Utah Jazz. Even without Clarkson and Markkanen, they have Agbaji to step up his game and lead them in scoring with 27 points. I bet no one expected that including the Kings. Good game by the Jazz.

New York Knicks -7.5 - Another loss. Randle seems to be clouded by his emotions every time he gets frustrated. That is not right. They had a chance to tie the game at the last minute of it but yet he made a mistake in turning it over and then another by letting his emotion get the better of him. A technical foul free throw put a dagger to close the game.

Philadelphia 76ers -7.5 - Double Overtime. I thought I had a chance to still cover the spread but when Embiid was fouled out, I lost hope to see one win out of my 3 bets. Anyway, that's one heck of a game too, and credits to Chicago Bulls for putting up a fight until their last energy.

Congratulations to all the winners.

So sad to say but it is not our day today but I am still optimistic about this because I know we can bounce back from these losses, my bets with yesterday and the recent day after that all bets were a win except for the Golden State Warriors and right now I really thought that it will repeat the process and I will get 3/4 wins but instead I have got a 1/4 this time, let's just say this is the time when things really isn't for us,

Here are the result of my picks for games today,

Charlotte Hornets VS Indiana Pacers SCORE 115 - 109 - LOST

The pacers were perfectly winning until the 2nd half the Hornets blew out the Pacers to bits so I was really surprised in seeing that happen but because of the lack of Tyrese Haliburton and Bennedict Mathurin they just can't possibly do it,

Houston Rockets VS Golden State Warriors SCORE 108 - 121 - WIN

I was really not surprised that the Warriors won this game but rather get lost this game than win the other 3 I guess surely the Rockets can not make a lead against the Splash brothers and with Jonathan Kuminga in there it was a great combination that even not at home they win this,

Memphis Grizzlies VS Dallas Mavericks SCORE 112 - 108 - LOST

Surprise Surprise well I haven't shifted when I have known that Luka Doncic isn't playing I was still confident because Kyrie Irving was around but yeah the Grizzlies have won thanks to Jaren Jackson Jr. and I think Irving can continue like this,

Utah Jazz VS Sacramento Kings SCORE 128 - 120 - LOST

I could say that Ochai Agbaji has a great fire up in this game and nothing was up with Talen Horton-Tucker this time I really thought that the Sacramento will have a decent spread instead they can not occupy that gap that the jazz made, so yeah it was a close loss,

I said in my previous posts that I might put a bet on the Rocket just because they're playing on their home. A good thing that I didn't try to bet on them because I would've lost my bet.

At last, the losing streak of the Warriors have finally ended with 11 games as the won against the Rockets. I might say I'm not totally impressed because the Rockets currently are the 2nd worst team in terms of defensive ratings. If this happened against a top team on their home then it might be a good thing for the Warriors and the narratives about them losing on the road might change, but these are the Rockets. One of the worst teams currently in terms of win-loss record.

Anyway, the Warriors have still one road game left before going back to their home. They are up against the Mavericks next, and then they will be playing on their home for 4 games straight. In this tight competition, a 4-game home stand for the Warriors might be a big help for them knowing that they're only 2 games behind the 4th seeded Suns.

We literally got the same picks mate and unfortunately, only the Warriors managed to do it. The handicap was quite big because it was a double digit spread and I was worried that they cannot cover it even if they defeat the Rockets but thankfully, they were able to cover it.

While for the Sacramento Kings, I didn't expect that they would be defeated today against the Jazz. Fox as always carried the game with the help of Murray, if only Sabonis and Terence Davis scored enough, they could've got it. Anyway, it is what it is. Let's try and bounce back again for the games tomorrow.

Playing against the Houston Rockets is probably about as easy as it can ever be for Warriors to get a win on the road right, they fail to get it now they're just done for imo, I have nothing at stake on the game, but it's the match I chose to watch, halftime with the warriors up by 5 points, I'm just curios to see what they'll make of the second half, and Stephen Curry seemed to be feeling it tonight.

Just 1 out of 2 for me, Bucks didn't cover the spread by just .5 points hehehehe, very close game indeed.

Philly vs Bulls -  Sixers is riding on a good winning streak and they are back at their homecourt, so -6.5 @ 1.62 for them. Joel Embiid playing like MVP, so I'm expecting another huge game for him and so is Harden.

Memphis vs Dallas - Same here, even without Ja Morant, Memphis is in winning form and fighting for the second spot against the Kings. So they will have to win this game against Dallas as they have the advantage at home and still without Luka if I'm not mistaken. -3.5 for Memphis @1.86. Parlay them  @3.01.

wow, congratulations @danherbias07, it's a great performance.

I needed to take a break from in my bets to focus on some personal things and the defeats that were happening to me often lol, but... I'll be back soon!

Thank you.

As for bets later it's a tough choice, the spreads are mostly high as we will have games by heavy favorites today.
Here are my picks.

Utah Jazz - Sacramento Kings - Sacramento Kings (-5.5) - No Clarkson, Sexton, and no Markkanen. Jazz's offense will mostly come from THT and their big man Walker Kessler. I am expecting the Kings to blow them out even at their home. Take a good lead as early as possible.

New York Knicks - Minnesota Timberwolves - New York Knicks (-7.5) Knicks at MSG with Brunson back and they had been winning their games for 3 consecutive times. This should be easy, especially with so many players listed as questionable for the Twolves. Edwards, Gobert, and Naz Reid.

Philadelphia 76ers - Chicago Bulls - Philadelphia 76ers (-7.5) After a good one-game rest for Harden, he is back. He will probably go wild with and let out all the energy from that rest.

Good luck everyone.

Was a Bucks. 5 away from a clean sweep last night.  Tonight its 3 home teams 2 favorites and 1 dog.

Knicks -8.5 home against the wolves.  Lots of injuries over on the wolves side.  Knicks should roll

Houston +11 against Warriors in Houston.  Warriors stink on the road.  Let's see if Houston can challenge here.

Memphis -5 against the mavs.  Mavs on the road don't impress me against a feisty Memphis team.  Gimme Memphis here.

Good luck tonight everyone.

Here are my picks for today's game,

Charlotte Hornets VS Indiana Pacers

The stake odds for this game are 2.04 for the Hornets and 1.82 for the Pacers, right now Cody Martin, and Mark Williams, can not play for the hornets, while Tyrese Haliburton, can not play for the Pacers, and Bennedict Mathurin, Chris Duarte, and Isaiah Jackson are all doubtful if they can play for the Pacers, for me for this game as well, you will get a hard prediction but for me Indiana Pacers even though they can not make it as the

Houston Rockets VS Golden State Warriors

The stake odds for this game are 4.60 for the Rockets and 1.21 for the Warriors, Right now Houston Rockets don't have any injuries, while Ty Jerome, Andre Iguodala, Andrew Wiggins, and Gary Payton II can not play for the Warriors, and Kevon Looney is doubtful if he could play with the Warriors, and with this game we all know how the Rockets are, and what are they facing today, and for me, my pick is the Golden State Warriors,

Memphis Grizzlies VS Dallas Mavericks

The stake odds for this game are 1.75 for the Grizzlies and 2.14 for the Mavericks, right now Ja Morant, Vince Williams Jr., and Steven Adams can not play for the Grizzlies, and Jaren Jackson Jr. is doubtful if he's going to fight, while Kyrie Irving, Markieff Morris, and Luka Doncic are doubtful if they can play for tomorrows game, without those sky leaping playing if Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic could play I would go with the Mavericks so my bet could change when I would see who's winning,

Utah Jazz VS Sacramento Kings

The stake odds for this game are 2.75 for the Jazz and 1.49 for the Kings, Right now Jordan Clarkson and Collin Sexton can not play for the Jazz and Lauri Markkanen is doubtful if he's going to play, while Trey Lyles and Kevin Huerter are both doubtful if they can play for the Kings, We all know how the Sacramento Kings are playing right now and we all know Mike Brown a former assistant coach for the Golden State Warriors and is now applying what he learns from the Warriors to the Sacramento Kings and becoming the 2nd Coach to win at least 40 games in an NBA season, that is why there are possibilities for he Kings becoming champion, so my pick is the Sacramento Kings,

As a matter of fact, I did a bet on the Milwaukee Bucks during the live games but failed to ride with their win earlier because I wagered for a -7.5 in their favor and the score difference was only 7. In short, my bet failed because the Bucks didn't manage to cover the handicap that I did but fortunately, I did not go for a parlay today because I wasn't that sure of my other bets.

Bulls vs Sixers -7.5
Wolves vs Knicks -8

Nice wins but as mentioned I didn’t have any money on the line.

I think the story of the night was Giannis getting himself a triple double while shooting 100% from the field. That’s not an easy task and an impressive outing. Especially since they got the win. Booker had a good night for the Suns also, but they couldn’t secure the W.

Tough game because they are still under the impression that they are cursed on the road but looking at it closely, their next game is with the Rockets and it's really a winnable on their side especially after the fact that this team is tanking. But if they will still get defeated by the Rockets, I don't know anymore about this Warriors and they should start reflecting from it before it gets worse and potentially destroy their campaign towards the Finals.

4/4, great day for you, @danherbias07.

As for me, I only placed one bet on the games, and I lost because I took the Bucks -7.5. You are smart in buying points, and you took lower odds, which was a nice decision and gave you a perfect run. I guess if you are still lucky tomorrow, we might as well ride with your bets.

Do you have any bets for tomorrow?

Perfect.  

The Clippers dominated the Trail Blazers just as I predicted. Without Jerami Grant, there is a hole in their defensive stance especially when it comes to defending PG13 or Kawhi Leonard.

The Bucks had a great close game against the Raptors. I mean, despite playing a back-to-back game they still manage to have a lead or a close game even with exhaustion catching up to them. Bucks still won, Lopez was having fun playing against the FVV.  
I am glad I didn't get greedy taking a deeper spread.

Pistons versus Miami Heat was also a tough fight and it was only at the last minutes when the Heat made the gap. Butler and Tyler Herro combined are "bucketmen".

As for the Rockets versus the Pelicans, the Rockets gave them the chills as they chip away the 19-point lead made by the Pelicans. It almost looks like a blowout until they cut it by 8 points in the 4th quarter. Then, the Valanciunas strategy happened, post him up, give him the ball, and win it slowly with free throws.

I also take breaks whether I got a betting slump and with that rest the time I got back on betting again this is the result, I think we need some breaks and to take a deep breath before betting back again, I think each and a while we surely needed it,

WOW! I really never thought that I could get a perfect bet after that Golden State Warriors 3rd time losing while Stephen Curry is at his best, it's not a good sight for me, but this is really great

Here are the result of my bets for today's game,

Milwaukee Bucks VS Toronto Raptors SCORE 118 - 111 - WIN

Giannis Antetokuompo was the real one needed by the Bucks in getting the W, a triple-double for Antetokuompo, 20 points for Khris Middleton, and 26 points for Brook Lopez,

Portland Trail Blazers VS Los Angeles Clippers SCORE 102 - 117 - WIN

The Clippers were really dominating this game against the Trail Blazers, Ivaca Zubac got a double-double, while Russell WestBrick almost got a triple-double with 12 rebounds, 10 assists,s, and 9 points,

Los Angeles Lakers VS Orlando Magic SCORE 111 - 105 - WIN

While I was really correct with the Lakers even though D'Angelo Russell only made 18 points and Anthony Davis has a double-double of 11 rebounds and 15 points Austin Reaves got a great game today, of 35 points winning against the magic,

3/3 to your bets. Congratulations. I didn't put any bets for the past few days because I decided to pause temporarily in betting in sports games. I might bet tomorrow or the next day again.

Giannis got a triple double on this game. Him, Lopez and Middleton are the 3 players who scored 20 or more. It's good to see Middleton slowly coming back after having an injury. At the same time, much credit to Lopez on how he is dominating the paint, and scoring 26 points. The twin-towers of Lopez and Giannis is really hard to penetrate for those who want to score in the paint. One of the most balanced team right now are the Bucks, and they're again on the road to be an NBA champion.

Damian Lillard's shooting percentage tonight is just awful. 4/17 FG, 1/8 from three, and if he only didn't have 12 free throw shots, he wouldn't score 21 points. There are also some rumors saying that Portland will shut him down if the Blazers will still play awful on the next 5-6 games. It says there that there's no point in letting him play if they will not enter the playoffs. I don't what the term "shut down" means, but I guess there's a deeper meaning to it than just letting him sit.

Reaves for MVP!!!!

Kidding aside, it's his night scoring 35 points of the bench. He has been one of the most active bench on the team, and whenever he plays, he doesn't let his team disappoint. Davis and Russell didn't play well tonight scoring 15 & 18 points only, but if you have Reaves, and other players who can step up when needed then I guess it is still ok. After all, not all night is a good for night even you're a superstar or a key player. Now the Lakers are in the 10th seeded and again 2 games below .500

I fall short with SUNS vs OKC. 2 wins and 1 loss so my parlay become invalidated  . I want to have a revenge win, I'm currently consistent losing in these doubles and triples parlay bet haha. Let's have a recap in the match between LAL and Magic. In the 1st half, the magic control the game but they have consistent turnover so the Lakers manage to overcome their score. What a good 1st half, the lakers show that they can still go up in the current standings. Austin Reaves is the MVP in that match and glad to see that Anthony Davis play in the game tonight. Suns lose to OKC with only 4 points, Devin booker made 46 points but it is still not enough to carry the team. Like what I said, the bucks will surely defeat the Toronto with 7 points up.

these will be my picks for tomorrow's match:

Chicago Bulls VS 76 ers

Houston Rockets Golden State Warriors

Sacramento Kings VS Utah Jazz

3 parlay bet with total of 4.74x odds. Good luck to me haha

Here are my picks for games today although not in the mood to bet today,

Milwaukee Bucks VS Toronto Raptors

The stake odds for this game are 1.30 for the Bucks and 3.70 for the Raptors, right now Goran Dragic and Jae Crowder while Dalano Banton, can not play for the Raptors, but with this game, because Giannis Antetokoumpo is back again and I think he totally recovers from his injuries it is really good for the Bucks right now so my pick is the Milwaukee Bucks,

Portland Trail Blazers VS Los Angeles Clippers

The stake odds for this game are 2.50 for Trail Blazers and 1.56 for the Clippers, right now Jerami Grant, Justise Winslow, and Ibou Badji can not play for the Trail Blazers and Nassir Little is doubtful if he can play, while Norman Powell and Brandon Boston Jr. can not play for the Clippers, for this game I think the Trail Blazers doesn't have any win yet against the Clippers if I am correct and for this game, I think I will pick the Los Angeles Clippers,

Los Angeles Lakers VS Orlando Magic

The stake odds for this game are 1.42 for the Lakers and 3.00 for the Magic, right now Mo Bamba, and LeBron James can not play for the Lakers, and Anthony Davis is doubtful if he can play for the Lakers, while Jalen Suggs can not play for the Magic, for this game well even though Lebron James and Anthony Davis can not play there are still a lot of players that can surely make the play eventually the 3 players for them so my pick is the Los Angeles Lakers,
