My bets for today:
New Orleans Pelicans vs New York Knicks
The New York Knicks (47-33) will battle the New Orleans Pelicans (41-39) tonight at Smoothie King Center. The Pelicans need to win in order to get a better position in the playin or playoffs.
Knicks key injuries: RJ Barrett(illness) questionable, Jalen Brunson (hand) out, Julius Randle (ankle) out
Pelicans key injuries: Jose Alvarado (tibia) out, Zion Williamson (hamstring) out

Dallas Mavericks vs Chicago Bulls
The Chicago Bulls (38-42) and Dallas Mavericks (38-42) square off tonight at American Airlines Center. A much needed win also for the Dallas Mavericks to keep their playin dreams alive.
Bulls key injuries: Alex Caruso (foot) questionable, Demar DeRozan (rest) questionable, Zach Lavine (rest) questionable
Mavericks key injuries: Luka Doncic (thigh) probable, Josh Green (rest) out, Tim Hardaway Jr (ankle) out, Kyrie Irving (foot) out, Maxi Kleber (hamstring) out, Christian Wood (rest) out

Sacramento Kings vs Golden State Warriors
The Golden State Warriors (42-38) will visit the Sacramento Kings (42-38) tonight at Golden 1 Center. A much needed win for the Warriors to avoid a potential playin.

Yeah! 3 out of 4 if only I was not on parley that is, but it is alright if I bet directly it will not be profitable anyway, but no worries I will take a bounce back on the next games,
It was a really one-sided game the Sun's VS Denver game, Kevin Durant was playing so hard and playing that 41 mins of the game, but even though the score was so close watching the game the Denver Nuggets didn't stand a chance against the Phoenix Suns at all,

Now here are my picks for today's game

Charlotte Hornets VS Houston Rockets

The stake odds for this game are 2.46 for the Hornets and 1.58 for the Rockets, right now Gordon Hayward, Terry Rozier, Kelly Oubre Jr., Cody Martin, and PJ Washington can not play for the Hornets, and Mark Williams, and Dennis Smith Jr. is both doubtful if they can play for the Hornets, while Ancient Forest can not play for the Rockets, for this game I think because of the many injuries and doubtful for the Hornets they will likely need to use their reserves to play, while Houston Rockets had a huge chance winning this, so my bet will be the Rockets,

Washington Wizards VS Miami Heat

The stake odds for this game are 2.65 for the Wizards and 1.51 for the Heat, Right now Bradley Beal, Kristaps Porzingis, Kyle Kuzma, Monte Morris, and Deni Avdija, can not play for the Wizards while Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, Kyle Lowry, Tyler Herro, and Nikola Jovic can not play for the Heat, and Max Strus and Kevin Love are both doubtful if they can play for the Heat, right now the Heat still got Caleb Martin, Victor Oladipo, and Gabe Vincent at their disposal while the Wizards I really don't know so for me my pick is the Miami Heat,

Boston Celtics VS Toronto Raptors

The stake odds for this game are 2.05 for the Celtics and 1.81 for the Raptors, Right now Jaylen Brown and Danilo Gallinari can not play for the Celtics, and Payton Pritchard, Marcus Smart, Derrick White, and Malcolm Brogdon are doubtful if they can play for the Celtics while Otto Porter Jr. is out of season, so no further injuries for the Raptors, the Raptors are in great shape so the Celtics might have a hard time against the Raptors but for this game I think I will risk my bet for the Boston Celtics,

Sacramento Kings VS Golden State Warriors

The stake odds for this game are 4.40 for the Kings and 1.23 for the Warriors, right now Matthew Dellavedova can not play for the Kings and Keegan Murray, Davion Mitchell, Malik Monk, De'Aaron Fox, Kevin Huerter, Trey Lyles, and Domantas Sabonis are all doubtful if they can play for this game, while Andre Iguodala, and Andre Iguodala can not play for the Warriors and might be available on april 15, for this game I still have faith with the Warriors that they can win over this right now they only need Wiggins to make their defense solid, but they will win this with their offense, so my pick is the Warriors,

Should have taken the money line on the cavs they wrecked orlando.  Flopped on the other 2.  These last couple games are tough to bet since key players will be sitting.  Laying in on 3 games.

Knicks +8.5.  They are a good road team and their young guys are killing it right now.  3 players with 30 points or more last game.  Grimes turning it up and the Knicks defense will keep this close.

Mavs -8 at home.  Gotta think they will be playing with desperation to keep their season alive.  Gotta ride them here.

And last gimme the Celtics +2.  Some players will be sitting but I still like the celts at home getting points.

Good luck everyone and enjoy the games!

Not gonna lie, I wasn't expecting for the Thunders to get this far but this will be a good opportunity for the young players of the Thunders to gain more experience by playing one or few top teams in the league, if they'll get past play-in and join the playoffs, that's much better for them so that they can bounce back next season and bring the lessons they've learned this season. Few more games left before the season officially ends.

Before that, 11 games again later. Did you guys already have your picks?

Miami Heat -5 vs Washington Wizards
Philadelphia 76ers vs Atlanta Hawks -10
Toronto Raptors vs Boston Celtics -2.5

Whoaah! Three out of 4 games, nice catch mate!

If I'm not wrong, the Cavs were the underdogs that time when they faced the Magic. Maybe some saw it coming, some didn't because it is quite confusing why they are listed as underdogs when they are really capable of defeating the Magic just like what happened yesterday.

For the Suns vs Denver match-up, I think it was already a ones-sided game since the game began. I mean, we can see that the Phoenix aren't that pressured and wasn't sweating that much because Jokic wasn't there as well as the few cores. But I'm afraid that most bettors who took the spread got lost on this.

Yup! OKC, take the game away from the Jazz, giving them a spot to the play-inn a good opportunity to move forward
in case they manage to beat whoever the two teams that they need to pass before moving forward to the playoff.

It's a good challenge for them but there are still games that might change the current positioning. We need to wait for the final selections.

But again, good catch for all those winners today! Congrats!

Sorry about that I was half asleep posting this, that is why I am seeing things and thought that this is the Chicago Bulls, but I already fixed my post just now after posting this  but yeah those questionable for the Denver Nugget are now injured and can not play their next game,

Here are the result of my picks for games today, and yeah because I have to go with a parley for all of these games I lost all my bets because of the Orlando Magic,

Orlando Magic VS Cleveland Cavaliers SCORE 94 - 118 - LOST

Even though the main players of the Cavaliers were not there they still manage to win this game, even though Bol Bol and Jalen Suggs were on the Magic they still did not pose a threat in defeating the Cavaliers, The Cavaliers still got the spread Isaiah Mobley got 18 points, Cedi Osman got 19 point sand Danny Green got 21 points

San Antonio Spurs VS Portland Trail Blazers SCORE 129 - 127 - WIN

This game was pretty much close, and the Trail Blazers had a great start getting the lead but then the Spurs had the upper hand in the 2nd quarter then the Trail Blazers got the 3rd quarter, but still, a great game to watch and the Spurs have emerged victorious,

Utah Jazz VS Oklahoma City Thunder SCORE 98 - 114 - WIN

From start to finish I haven't seen a chance for the Utah Jazz to make a comeback, The Thunders have a great spread the entire game, while Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was really nasty in leading the OKC ahead of the Jazz,

Phoenix Suns VS Denver Nuggets SCORE 119 - 115 - WIN

This game is really a great game to watch and the Nugget's Bruce Brown Jr. has done his best in making the score close enough but because Kevin Durant is having a great time and with Chris Paul having a great rack with his shooting they manage to keep in on their lead,

I think the Cavaliers were just underrated by the bookies, simply because of the of guys meant to be absent for game, and I'm sure a whole lot of people would have cashed in on that Cavaliers ML / spread.

I don't think the same would happen between OKC and Utah Jazz, that's if you're favoring the Utah Jazz to pull an upset here, there is way too much at stake for the City Thunder, a win here place them in the final play-in the west, and their next fixture would be against Memphis Grizzlies, so this is one fixture they can't afford to lose.

Nice catch on the Cavaliers, @morvillz7z. I wasn't expecting them to win, as the Magic were the favorites, but it turns out that it was a dominant win by the Cavaliers who did not play their star players.

Crazy games happening today. The Cavaliers beat the Magic by 24 points and the Heat beat the 76ers by 28 points. Maybe next, OKC will do the same to the Jazz.

Nice. Congrats.
Orlando Magic was the favorite when I opened my bookie. I think -5.5 was at 1.98. Didn't take the bet as I know they will be resting Mitchell and the star crew. Good thing the Cavaliers played well especially Danny Green who scored 21 points in 26 minutes. He was energized.  

We still have the Phoenix Suns versus the Denver Nuggets later.
I don't think the Nuggets bench will get lucky here as how the Cavaliers did. Kevin Durant and Booker will make sure they will have the win and seal the 4th rank in the West.
Phoenix Suns -10.5 is my bet. Over 220.5 seems reachable too. I will take it.

Speaking of easy bets. I caught one too.  The game is not even over yet.

5 minutes? Yeah, i think so...it didn't take long!

Some crazy lineup changes, players being rested left and right, one can gain a decent edge over the bookies. These last few weeks have been incredible for me, unfortunately, this shitshow is coming to an end with only a handful of reg season games left.

I also had the Cavs ML and a nice betbuilder (Cole was a late scratch and didn't play, so i hope they void him and not my entire ticket).

Both teams are also injury plagued, or at least that's the news from both camps, but however, what I really don't understand is how the Cavaliers are a +6 Points underdog, I understand that they're also playing with probably their 2nd, or even their 3rd unit, but are the Magic really that good with this line up below as their starting 5.

Jalen Suggs, Caleb Houstan, Chuma Okeke, Bol Bol and Moritz Wagner

Anyways, it's seem as though we have like minds on Jalen Suggs for tonight, I've got him on PRA 24.5 @ 1.86 on a local sport book.

GL mate!

EDIT: That's probably the easiest bet you've won on NBA right ? at least in recent times, having your bet settled before mid way into the first quarter

∆ Jalen Suggs 10+ points @1.83 ∆   won

Magic and Cavs, like almost every other team that doesn't have anything to play for/ or already locked up a seed, have ruled out their starters. Suggs and Cole Anthony are the only point guards available for tonight's game for Orlando (excluding MCW), with Suggs getting the nod to start. I expect both of them to get 30+ minutes and a healthy amount of FGAs on offense. I was able to grab Suggs at O9.5 a few minutes after the news broke, his current line is O/U15.5 points.

I agree. The Mavericks just needed few more games to prove in the league that they are really worthy to appear and participate in the play-in tournament or even playoffs if they can defeat whoever they meet in the tournament. But before they can do that, they must defeat their opponents on their last two games which is the Chicago Bulls and San Antonio Spurs, respectively, but even winning those games mentioned won't be enough because if the OKC won't suffer at least one defeat, the Mavs can't still participate.

Alex Caruso? This is a Phoenix vs Nuggets match-up mate but anyway, you might had a minor error on seeing the tip-off about their injuries.

Phoenix Suns -7.5 for as well because they got no reported injuries nor probable players for their game later against the Nuggets, while the latter got their core on a questionable status namely Jokic, Murray, Porter Jr, Gordon and KCP.

Adding to that, I'll be betting on the Philadelphia 76ers -2.5 vs Miami Heat. Maxey is questionable for the Sixers while Adebayo and Lowry for the Heat.

3 for 3 last night not bad.  These last couple games are going to be tough to determine who is who and what is what.  So far I'm down for 3 tonight:

Cavs on the road +9.5 against Orlando.  This will be a tough game for them and not needed in terms of a win but theor defensive rating should still keep them in the game like they did against the Knicks.

Phoenix -10.5 time to start laying in hard on them.  Gonna run with them through the playoffs.

And lastly give me the sixers -2.5.  Again at home and think they will want to end strong.  Like the sixers here.

Good luck tonight everyone!

Here are my picks for today's game well some game isn't really profitable so I will make a parley for these games,

Orlando Magic VS Cleveland Cavaliers

The stake odds for this game are 1.22 for the Magic and 4.50 for the Cavaliers, Right now Jonathan Isaac is out for this season and there are no injuries for the Magic, while Caris LeVert, Dylan Windler, Jarrett Allen, Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, Isaac Okoro, and Evan Mobley can not play for the Cavaliers so with this kind of injuries for the Cavaliers I really think they will never have a chance against the Magic this time for sure, so my pick is the Orlando Magic,

San Antonio Spurs VS Portland Trail Blazers

The stake odds for this game are 1.57 for the Spurs and 2.49 for the Trail Blazers, Right now Doug McDermott, Khem Birch, Devonte' Graham, Devin Vassell, and Jeremy Sochan, can not play for the Spurs, and Zach Collins, Keldon Johnson, and Romeo Langford are all doubtful if they can play for the Spurs, while Jerami Grant, Jusuf Nurkic, Anfernee Simons, and Nassir Little, can not play for the Trail Blazers, and Shaedon Sharpe, Drew Eubanks, and Kevin Knox II are all doubtful if they can play for the Trail Blazers, but my pick is the San Antonio Spurs,

Utah Jazz VS Oklahoma City Thunder

The stake odds for this game are 3.30 for the Jazz, and 1.35 for the Thunders, right now Collin Sexton, Rudy Gay, Jordan Clarkson, Lauri Markkanen, and Walker Kessler can not play for the Jazz, and Talen Horton-Tucker is doubtful if he can play for the Jazz while Aleksej Pokusevski, can not play for the Thunders and Luguentz Dort is doubtful if he can play for the Thunder, for this game because of the many injuries that the Jazz have I think the Thunder can surely make a great impression in this match, so my pick is the Oklahoma City Thunders,

Phoenix Suns VS Denver Nuggets

The stake odds for this game are 1.18 for the Suns and 5.20 for the Nuggets, Right now the Suns don't have any injuries, while Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Aaron Gordon, Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, Michael Porter Jr., and Collin Gillespie can not play for the Nuggets, got this game I will let it slide and for this match, I think that the Phoenix Sun will win this because of the many injuries the Nuggets have,

Finally, a perfect bet after a long lost and splits.

This is what makes my day.
I watched only the whole game of the Mavs versus the Kings and half of the Clippers versus Lakers game. Both games give me some chills that the spreads might not be covered, thankfully they did.
The Pelicans bet was by chance when I saw them down by 6 or 8 if my memory is right. I know they are going to try harder to win the game, and so they did. They needed it, and now they are tied with the Lakers.

$1, $2, it doesn't matter. A win is a win and keep on sharing your tickets. I'll probably bump into it sometimes and tail it too. Nice win, congrats.
My same problem when betting live. Most of the time it will be canceled due to the moving odds. You have to be patient about it and make sure it went in first. My identification that might bet was locked is when they take it from my balance.

They were fortunate to win that game, but I am still not convinced by their play. It seems like they lack consistency, especially on the defensive side. Despite this, I still have faith in the Mavericks.

They might win the next two games, but what if OKC does the same? If that happens, they will be eliminated.

However, for betting purposes, it's good if we will back them on their succeeding games.

Well well well. I finally won a NBA ticket after a big big break. Too bad I only placed 1$ on the bet but still , the outcome is a winning one and looking forward to see what games we will have tonight.

Great for Mavs for finally achieving a victory and continue to have a chance to catch play offs but they need to win everything from now on.
