Lots of focus over on day 1 ncaa tourny but still a decent lineup tonight.  Got 3 games I like:

1) Raptors at home -6.  They have been playing good ball lately.
2) Suns -8 at home.  Tough road game for a young orlando team, think they roll here.
3) kings -3 at the Nets. Kings are better than I thought, this is a tough east coast trip for them but think they can steal one in Brooklyn.

Good luck tonight everyone!

Yep! it wasn't really that bad and in this case, all was really good, but for the Warriors losing this match, you can say I am frustrated because I am a Warriors fan, you can say they may sure have a plan but in this game, they can win it, that 50 points from Curry aren't always in every game and they just blew it like that, but anyway at least they are still in a good position to make it to the playoffs,


It was a close game the Kings really struggles a lot, but a win is a win, I think the Bulls right now a great team now because Zach LeVine is a different player now, well you can say that the Chicago Bulls even though they are left behind the position their team now is now great in dealing with the Sacramento Kings,


It was really spoiled and I didn't expect them to lose like that, but yeah it really happens, and because Andrew Wiggins and Jonathan Kuminga is not at their 100% self, the Warriors as in a slump now, they badly needed Wiggins extra defense and that turn over was really too much Coach Kerr should have a word on them and they keep on mistaken and if this keeps up they could be drop from a higher position,

Many thought that it will be like this knowing that the Bulls are on the bottom seed while the Kings is on the top
However, the Kings won on the road, but they won in a hard way. I'm thinking what if that shot of Fox that sealed the deal didn't went in, and it goes to overtime? Can they still win? Anyway, it didn't happen, and now they are 2nd again currently tied with the Kings with 4.5 games behind the top seeded Nuggets.

As expected. It's on the road. The Warriors lost yet again.

They can't stop Big Zu on the paint. I mean even Looney is having a hard time with him inside. Curry's heroic performance in this game has been spoiled by PG and Kawhi. Let's give credits to Terance Mann as well because he adjusted from their starting PG when Westbrook isn't in the Clippers to now their bench and their potential 6th man. Credits to Eric Gordon as well because he played really well on this game scoring 14 points in the 3rd quarter.

1/5 road game for the Warriors. 4 consecutive road games to go. If you want to bet on their next, maybe it's safe to bet against them if they will play on the road. Not an advice though.

The Lakers lost absolutely killed me last night. That is the biggest parlay bet I’ve had go wrong to date. I was four points away from having a major celebration but instead it’s nothing but tears this morning. I joke, but seriously that was a heartbreaking loss to one of the worst teams in the league and they really needed that win to be back to .500.

Yup normal thing that happened, win-or-lose team needs to move forward and find the better adjustment to win their next game, I love how Steph take this game but like what you said the defense needs more adjustments.

Moving on, there are games we can't take tomorrow seems that betting odd will be bias here and heavy favorites will
get the upper hand, still enough time to analyze and look for a good upset for a higher reward/risk bet.

A good day, perfect early team bets.

Philadelphia 76ers got lucky they won that challenge when Embiid was called for an offensive foul, that could've been his sixth. Good call by Coach Doc Rivers to believe in Embiid and challenge it without any doubts. As I predicted, he will devour the paint without hesitation with only Mobley stopping him.

Miami Heat 138 points. These may be the highest points allowed by the Grizzlies. They are known for their superb defense but without Adams and Clarke, who can stop Bam Adebayo? 26 points, 10/15 FG. That's above 50 percent which is too good.

Bulls vs Kings. I think that's the best game of the day. Close game, tie game, buzzer beater. Fox made a three, my spread was covered. 
I was actually expecting overtime so my Over 235.5 will hit, but it's okay.
Congratulations to all the winners.

We are on the same side here, mate. I bet on the Warriors at 2.20 during the live game. It was a close game, although the Warriors were always trailing. However, bad shots in the 4th quarter and a lack of defense allowed the Clippers to capitalize on their mistakes. Anyway, it's normal to win some and lose some, but in your case, winning three out of four isn't bad.

I was really surprised but 1st here are the result of my picks

Miami Heat VS Memphis Grizzlies SCORE 138 - 119 - WIN

It was a solid win for the Miami Heat and because Ja Morant is not around the Heat have known the Grizzlies very well without Ja Morant, it was shown in their play from start to finish they are dominating the Grizzlies, Jimmy Butler got 23 points, Tyler Herro got 24 points and Bam Adebayo got a solid 26 points, for the Heat to win,

Chicago Bulls VS Sacramento Kings SCORE 114 - 117 - WIN

Just like I thought it was going to be a close game but still, the Kings made the win, Patrick Beverly did an amazing feat with rebounding for the team, and have gotten momentum for them, but it was not enough because the Sacramento Kings are also focused in winning this match, Harrison Barnes got 17 points, Kevin Huerter got 15 points, De'Aaron Fox got 32 points,

Minnesota Timberwolves VS Boston Celtics SCORE 102 - 104 - WIN

It was a close game but I really don't know if the Celtics are really trying to win this game it was a close one and Jaylen Brown was exploding toward the game, Malcolm Brogdon got 12 points, Jayson Tatum has a double-double performance of 12 rebounds and 22 points and Jaylen Brown has a double-double of 10 rebounds and 35 points,

Los Angeles Clippers VS Golden State Warriors SCORE 134 - 126 - LOST

Crazy Stephen Curry has pushed his limits to make 50 points in this game but still, I think the Warrior's defense is very wide in this game that is why, and they are bad at turnovers 16 turns over and I think this needs to be changed while the Clippers Ivica Zubac has a double-double of 16 rebounds and 19 points, Paul George got 24 points, and Kawhi Leonard got 30 points,

Lakers are missing Anthony Davis tonight out with an injury I believe so hopefully they can come through. I also took the Lakers to win and have Dallas along for the ride with a parlay tonight. That’s my main bet for the evening so I’ll be keeping my eyes on the scores. Golden State and the Clippers on ESPN is the game I’ll be watching though.

I had a few bucks on gamdom so I took some favorites tonight. Red hot Lakers, Celtics, and the Heat. Lakers 7-3 in their last 10 and fighting for the playoffs. Boston 5-5 but playing the Timberwolves who are also 5-5 in their last 10, should be a good game. Miami is 5-5 in their last 10 but they're playing the recently suspended Ja Morants Grizzlies who have been struggling lately.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs Philadelphia 76ers
The Philadelphia 76ers (45-22) will face the Cleveland Cavaliers (44-27) tonight at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. Donovan Mitchell is rested Tuesday and should be playing tonight against the 76ers but will that rest be enough to beat Philadelphia?

Chicago Bulls vs Sacramento Kings
The Chicago Bulls (31-36) will host the visiting Sacramento Kings (40-27) tonight at United Center. The Kings should win this.
Bulls key injuries: Lonzo Ball (knee) out, Javonte Green (knee) out

San Antonio Spurs vs Dallas Mavericks
The San Antonio Spurs (18-50) will host the visiting Dallas Mavericks (34-35) tonight at AT&T Center. Even without their two stars, the Mavs should be able to put away the Spurs who are trying hard to tank this year.
Mavericks key injuries: Luka Doncic (thigh) out, Tim Hardaway Jr (calf) questionable, Kyrie Irving (foot) questionable, Christian Wood (foot) questionable

Los Angeles Clippers vs Goldern State Warriors
The Los Angeles Clippers (36-33) will host the Golden State Warriors (36-33) tonight at Crypto.com Arena. The Warriors are terrible on the road and the Clippers should be able to win this game.
Warriors key injuries: Andre Iguodala (wrist) out, Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) probable, Gary Payton Jr (abductor) out, Ryan Rollins (foot) out, Andrew Wiggins (personal) out
Clippers key injuries: Brandon Boston (tailbone) out, Norman Powell (shoulder) out

∆ Jabari Smith Jr. 20+ PR / A. Reaves 2+ assists @1.70 ∆   won

Jabari Smith with three straight double-doubles (20+ points in each game) has caught my attention. Lakers coming off a game last night with AD sitting this one, Bamba's been injured for a while, so limited rim protection, they will be vulnerable on the boards as well.  The first meeting between these two was a high-scoring one, 270+ points...i absolutely love this spot for the Houston rookie.

I've also got A. Reaves to get at least two assists, he's covered the line in 7/L7 averaging over 5 assists in that span.

Good picks.

I am with Miami Heat too at -2.5.
Kyle Lowry is questionable but it's still super bad for the Grizzlies. They are trying hard to find their offense on their bench players and thankfully Tyus Jones had been stepping up his game. But against the Heat, they will probably struggle.

Cleveland Cavaliers - Philadelphia 76ers - 76ers -1.5
Donovan Mitchell will play, I think that finger injury is now okay. But, considering they are playing back-to-back with exhausted roleplayers like Mobley and Garland, the 76ers might snatch this one from the Cavs' home. Jarrett Allen is still out. Embiid could go crazy underneath the rim with a lack of big guys from the Cavs.

Chicago Bulls - Sacramento Kings - Sacramento Kings (-2.5)
Alex Caruso is questionable for the Bulls, Trey Lyles is out for the Kings. A battle of offense, I am also putting some money on the Over 235.5.

So the Mavs are just the heavy favorites because there are a lot of injuries in the Spurs roster and not because Kyrie or Luka is back. Even Christian Wood is questionable. I may just take this later and also for the Warriors vs Clippers.
Good luck everyone.

Another bad night for me, I thought that the Nuggets can get over the hump, but in the first quarter alone, they've lost the game when the Raptors beat a huge lead and almost scored 50 points already. So I just stop watching the game, hehehe. There's something wrong with their offense specially in the first quarter as the games that they have lost, they have problems in the 1st quarter alone. And if the teams build a commanding lead and they score 30 points or less, chances are they are going to lose that game.

So tonight, I have Sixers -1.5 against the Cavs and Boston -3.5 against the Wolves, Lakers -1.5 against the Rockets.

Here are my picks for today's game

Miami Heat VS Memphis Grizzlies

The stake odds for this game are 1.57 for the Heat and 2.49 for the Grizzlies, Right now Cody Zeller, can not play for the Heat, While Vince Williams Jr., Jake LaRavia, and Steven Adams, and not play because of injuries, and Ja Morant has a lengthy suspension and may return on March 22, for this match I don't really want to bet for the Grizzlies, but I want to bet against them, and I think the Heat is a perfect opponent for them to handle a un Ja Morant team, so my pick is the Miami Heat,

Chicago Bulls VS Sacramento Kings

The stake odds for this game are 1.98 for the Bulls and 1.87 for the Kings, Right now Javonte Green can not play for the Bulls, Justin Lewis and Lonzo Ball are out for this season, Alex Caruso is doubtful if he's going to play for the Bulls while Richaun Holmes can not play for the Kings, so with this game this is the 1st time for the Kings and the Bulls to match up, and I think the Kings could win this but this could be a close game for sure, but my pick if the Sacramento Kings,

Minnesota Timberwolves VS Boston Celtics

The stake odds for this game are 2.75 for the Timberwolves and 1.48 for the Celtics, Right now Karl-Anthony Towns and Jaylen Nowell can not play for the Timberwolves, and Rudy Gobert, Austin Rivers, and Naz Reid are all doubtful if they can play for the Timberwolves while Robert Williams III, Payton Pritchard, and Payton Pritchard can not play for the Celtics, and for this game, I really love the Celtics and because of the poor performance of the Timberwolves my pick is the Celtics,

Los Angeles Clippers VS Golden State Warriors

The stake odds for this game are 1.70 for the Clippers and 2.21 for the Warriors, Right now Norman Powell and Brandon Boston Jr. can not play for the Clippers while Ty Jerome, Andre Iguodala, Andrew Wiggins, Gary Payton II, can not play for the Warriors, Jonathan Kuminga is doubtful if he can play for the Warriors, so for this game this will be a hard game for the Warriors knowing that the Clippers can also win this, but I got my faith for the Warriors and Jonathan Kuminga might play with a certain time amount, so the tandem Jordan Poole and JK would resurface again, my pick is the Golden State Warriors, and a good odds aswell,

Yes, too early to say that there might be some problem that the public might not know as of this moment. I believe it was just a bad night for the Nuggets especially Murray and even Jokic cannot believe the teams performance, you clearly see it on his face whenever he made some mistakes that sometimes will result into a turnover. It just so happen that the Raptors are also in a good mood while the Nuggets have the opposite.

Tonight I’ve got the Heat over the Grizzlies, the Lakers over the Rockets, and the Mavericks over the Spurs in a nice parlay. I’ve also got the Celtics and the 76ers both winning their games. The Rockets and Lakers game might be a good one since both teams have been on fire their last few games.

It's unfortunate that the Nuggets have continued their losing streak. That -2 looked so easy on paper, but it turned out to be a huge trap since the home team managed to defend and win by double digits. I don't know what's happening with the Nuggets, but I think it's not wise to back them for now.

Not again Nuggets!  This is starting to get frustrating for the team. They need someone to build their confidence back. Making one mistake after another is not their forte and this is the first time they lost in a 4th streak.
Here are my results.

2/4 is not that bad but it is still a loss if all the bets are at the same amount which it is. So I tried chasing more games as I am not satisfied with just having a split.
Here are the late-game results.


Phoenix Suns did try to come back from a big deficit and if I am not mistaken, there was even a time they had a 1-point lead or a tie game. 97-96 or 96-96. It was mostly Cam Payne who did the work, getting hot at the 3-point line and then Booker, of course, who made 30 points.
But it was not enough, Bucks just used Giannis again and no one can stop him in the paint so they put him in the stripe a lot of times. 14/24 Imagine if all that went in, Suns will be buried. Jae Crowder seems to have a lot of fun playing against his ex-teammates.

It seems that the Nuggets are not playing the usual, though they are all healthy and they are playing as a team, but the executions of the plays are not giving them the outcome that they are expecting.

Let see how they will adjust to their next upcoming games. They have enough time to make it up and for sure
the coaching people will find ways to start winning the game again.
