Strange night right ? all the 3 favorite teams mentioned here lost their game by at least double digits, Nets and Orlando Magic both lost by 14 points while Denver Nuggets lost by 15 points, after going down by 19 points at the very end of the first quarter alone, I knew it would be a difficult task to get back on their feet to chase win, and that mass gap was enough for the Raptors to bank on, this was the 4th consecutive loss for Denver Nuggets, after losing to the Brooklyn Nets a few day ago, could this result to them getting under some form of pressure with Ja Morant-less Memphis Grizzlies getting pretty much closer to them now.

Didn't put much bet this time, and only bet on the Bucks winning on the road against the Suns. Giannis will play (as he isn't in the injuries list), and we know how formidable they are. The top team in the league currently, and they just won on the road against another top team in Kings.

Looks like the Lakers are rolling on the road as they are currently leading by almost 30 points on the road against them.
After a career night by Trey Murphy, and a huge home win against the Blazers, here they are down on their home.

As for the Nuggets, they are yet down again on the road against the Raptors by 20 points. I think there's a problem with the team that the public doesn't know. 

Just gonna say this when I saw the Raptors were favored over the nugs I knew I had to take them.  Now it's only in the second quarter but the raps up 62-46.  This seemed like a vegas trap game trying to get everyone to bet on the nugs.  When something looks too good to be true and mass amount of people are piling in on one side its time to bet the other side.  Books don't lose. 😉

8 games today guys.

Charlotte Hornets - Cleveland Cavaliers - Cleveland Cavaliers (-5.5) This should be easy for the Cavaliers even without Mitchell and Allen. I always see Garland can control the pace of the game and with Mobley around they can still dominate.

Washington Wizards - Detroit Pistons - Washington Wizards (-11.5) Don't look at the Pistons' injury reports, you will puke.  Almost every player that could lift their team up is sidelined. Wizards on the other hand have Kuzma ruled out.

Toronto Raptors - Denver Nuggets - Nuggets ML Time to win! They had been losing and it's now 3 games. Maybe it's the right time to change the mood of their fans. It's not looking pretty anymore.

San Antonio Spurs - Orlando Magic - Orlando Magic (-3.5)

We also have good late games. I will put my bet when the tip in is near.
Good luck everyone.

Yup, the Denver Nuggets are now the favorites vs Toronto Raptors. I just have a slight regret for not betting towards the Nuggets ML earlier when I took a peek on the betting lines because I surely didn't understand why they are the underdogs in this game, but the latest tip-off revealed that Jamal Murray will play later on.

Denver Nuggets -2 @ Toronto Raptors
Orlando Magic -6 @ San Antonio Spurs

∆ Jalen Williams 16+ PA / Jalen Williams 1+ steals @1.78 ∆   won

The OKC rookie has put in very respectable numbers after the All-Star Break, consistency has improved as well. He had a career day in assists against San Antonio, and has been in double-digit scoring in 12 /L13. Jalen Williams has covered the 16+ PA line in 7/L7 (averaging 28 PA in that period). His streak of consecutive games of at least one steal ended against the Spurs (at 13) but it's time for a new one to start. He is averaging well over two steals /L7, and OKC has been the second-best team at forcing turnovers /L3 with almost 19 a game.

It used to be a very close odds between the Raptors and the Nuggets, Toronto now, the under and I should have pulled the trigger with the Nuggets much earlier with -1.5 at 2.x or even ML at 1.9x something. Now ML for the Nuggets are @1.82.

OKC vs Brooklyn Nets - I will the Nets a chance to win in this game, ML @2.00.

Best of luck.

Lost my parlay won my straight bet, even Steven.  Dallas is in trouble they could end up on the outside looking in if they can't get it together here. 

Tonight got some good games lined up

Gonna take the Denver trap game.  Gimme the raps -1 at home here

Pelicans -1 against the Lakers

And last taking my knicks in Portland-2.5.  Coue game time decisions and I'm betting on Dame being out.

Good luck tonight everyone!

When a team loses over 75% of their games, it is normal to expect that they would lose against a much better team fighting for a conference title. Obviously if it was against a team like Orlando, or spurs or something like that then you may not be sure and you may think that Rockets could have a good game and win that game, but not against Celtics, because they are just too good.

But obviously this is NBA and we do get these type of games and end up losing some money, it is normal. Just the other day Spurs managed to beat Nuggets as well, Nuggets is leading the western conference and Spurs has like 70%+ loss rate as well, it is getting more common because players are getting tired.

1/4. Ouch.
Indiana Pacers lost against the Orlando Magic.
Boston Celtics also lost against the Houston Rockets.  Jabari Smith showcased some good performance in this game.
Sacramento Kings also lost against the Milwaukee Bucks. Giannis did play although listed as questionable. 
And my only win was the Golden State Warriors against the Phoenix Suns. The first quarter's big lead for the Warriors improved their confidence and their chance to win. But if they started slow, I doubt they can win that match. It's not easy to battle a team like the Suns who had been great at perimeter shots. Thankfully, Thompson started hot and the finishing touches came from their roleplayers' defensive stance.

What was the moneyline odds for the Houston Rockets, by the way?

Well, I guess most of us would not bet on the Rockets, even with the handicap, as we know how strong the Boston Celtics are and how inconsistent the Houston Rockets can be. But on just one of those lucky days for the underdog team, it probably resulted in the majority of bettors losing money if they risked their money on the Boston Celtics to win and cover the spread.

Upset happens and lots of bettors for sure got fired out, especially those who added this game to the parlay. Unexpected things that happened
but we all know that it's just a part of it.

Congrats to anyone who take the Rockets today both ML and Handicap a good win for all those who take the risk betting for them.

Another day for every bettor, another result and another research to sort for more.

Having just those two teams on my betslip for last night's matches in the NBA saved me the fate of so many who picked the favorites to win their earlier played matches such as the Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers.
I placed my bets early on but avoided these scheduled matches because I just knew they were going to upset alot of accas.
And being in this context only chose these two teams to place my bet on you showed in your betslip and won the bet on the over points.
Sacramento Kings scored alot and the over 119.5pts I had hit and also the over on the Warriors vs Suns game easily hit the 232.5pts although they were projected to have 242.5pts by half time. But the final 3:45 minutes of the game was just garbage time with both teams subbing out their starting line up.

Anthony Davis is not himself, I don't know if the effect of the injury is getting into him or if he still needs rest, but because of his performance many are saying that he likely be needing some rest, and even though with D'Angelo Russell playing for the team it was not enough to clear the path to victory,

Here are the result for my picks on today's game, another 2/4 results,

Detroit Pistons VS Indiana Pacers SCORE 117 - 97 - LOST

Well, because Benedict Mathurin and Tyrese Haliburton can not play for the Pacers they likely have a hard time and struggle against the Pistons It was a risky chance that I have take but surely the Pacers couldn't win if those two of four don't play, and likely James Wiseman has already played for the Pistons, Eugene Omoruyi got 17 points James Wiseman has a double-double performance of 14 rebounds and 18 points Rodney McGruder got 18 points and Cory Joseph got 22 points,

Miami Heat VS Utah Jazz SCORE 119 - 115 - LOST

I really thought that the Jazz will likely be having a chance of winning because of the previous performance of Talen Horton-Tucker, but he doesn't do much, so Bam Adebayo got 16 points, Tyler Herro and Gabe Vincent both got 18 points and Jimmy Butler got 24 points winning against the jazz,

Golden State Warriors VS Phoenix Suns SCORE 123 - 112 - WIN

From start to finish the Golden State Warriors are likely leading the game they surely don't let this chance that Kevin Durant can not play for the team, slip, and dominates the Suns, with all they have, Jordan Poole got 20 points, Stephen Curry got 23 points and Klay Thompson the man of the night is pretty much firing up, with 38 points,

Sacramento Kings VS Milwaukee Bucks SCORE 124 - 133 - WIN

The Kings have given their all in winning against the Bucks but with no available success, and just like I have said Giannis Antetokoumpo played this game Brook Lopez got 23 points Khris Middleton got 31 points and Giannis Antetokoumpo has a double-double of 12 rebounds, and 46 points winning against the Kings,

Boston Celtics struggling losing 4 of their last 6 games. The good thing though is that their 4 losses are against teams above .500 except the Hawks and Rockets.
Denver Nuggets is also struggling currently losing 3 straight games, and 2 of these 3 losses are from teams that are below .500 (Bulls and Spurs).

Is there a problem with these 2 top teams right now? I mean losing is normal I get it, but losing to a low-seeded team? Well, maybe it wasn't their night to win. Give credits to the Rockets indeed because they defeated the Rockets thru their collective effort offensively. Martin Jr, Smith Jr, and Green combined for 72 of the total 111 points. They spoiled the 43 point game of Brown. Good game for both teams, but the question now is that, is there anybody here who put their bet on the Rockets before the game?

You've just gotta give these young Houston Rockets team huge credits for their win against the Boston Celtics and their stars, The chemistry between those young rookies were rock solid today, and you'd expect them to fold when the Celtics came calling back with a run of their own, I really have not seen them played so connected this well, although the Celtics can be said to have had a rough night, but I think such statement would only undermine the efforts of the Houston Rockets players because the win was well merited in my candid opinion.

I am certainly surprised that the NY Knicks have done as well as they have so far to this point in the season.  I'm certainly not shocked that they beat the Lakers yesterday, as you said it's no mistake.  Now of course the Lakers are without Lebron James at the moment, so it would have been a different game had he been playing, but I'm still impressed with the win from the Knicks.  As you know I'm a big Tom T fan, so I'm happy to see him having success in New York.

Golden State Warriors vs Phoenix Suns
The Golden State Warriors (35-33) will defend their home against the Phoenix Suns (37-30) tonight at Chase Center. The Warriors are the 4th best home record this season and should be able to defend their home against the Phoenix Suns.
Suns key injuries: Kevin Durant (ankle) out
Warriors key injuries: Draymond Green (ankle) probable, Andre Iguodala (hip) probable, Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) questionable, Andrew Wiggins (personal reasons) out

Sacramento Kings vs Milwaukee Bucks
The Sacramento Kings (40-26) will defend their home against the Milwaukee Bucks (48-19) tonight at Golden 1 Center. Giannis is still questionable this game and against the #2 in the west, it is tough to win against them on their home.
Bucks key injuries: Giannis Antetokounmpo (hand) questionable

I like the first two picks so I am tailing it.
Pacers -3.5
Celtics -10.5 only - Avoiding greed, the Rockets team could sometimes surprise us.
For the last pick though, I am going the other way. The Kings are at home with a healthy roster while Giannis is listed as questionable.
Kings ML @2.09 If ever Giannis will suddenly plays, I will add another if the odds change.
Also adding:
Golden State Warriors - Phoenix Suns - Golden State Warriors (-3.5) - Steph Curry has found his rhythm and they badly need some wins, especially at their home where they are known to have a great record.
Good luck everyone.

This was no mistake, the Knicks are just the better team.  People overvalued the Lakers because the team name and history but they are what their record says they are and that's a bottom of the league team.  Knicks should have and did win the game, not because the Lakers screwd up but because the better team won.
