My lucky day I guess.

You will have one for you in the future don't worry. We all have lucky days. As for the Mavericks, maybe it's time for you to not bet on them unless they will be playing on their home. I mean their defense is just awful, and that's one of the reasons why they are losing. Yes they have big players like Kleber, Powell, McGee, but still they are losing on games because of their bad defense. Luka is frustrated every game, and you can see it on his face if you are watching him play.

Congratulations to the Kings as they clinched the playoffs already after 16 years of not entering the playoffs. That's the longest playoff drought in NBA history, and now they broke it. The Kings already got the pieces or the perfect roster a few years ago. What they are lacking at that time is a perfect coach for them, and now the team got better when they acquired Coach Mike Brown.

Let's just see how the inexperienced Kings play in the playoffs. They might be inexperienced, but they have a coach who's lots of experience in the playoffs during his stint with the Warriors as their assistant coach.

We only have 2 games tomorrow. Celtics Vs. Bucks & Nuggets Vs. Pelicans.

Milwaukee Bucks - Boston Celtics - Boston Celtics
- I only put my bet on this one, and will not bet on the other game. Back to back games for the Bucks so I think that the fatigue will be a factor on this one even though they are playing on their home. I believe the Bucks might just not let their key players play, or if they will, it will be limited minutes, and they are 3 games above the Celtics as well, so for this one, I believe that the Celtics will snatch one on the road.

Having Durant back really made the difference and lifted the team's spirits abit because they won the match last night at home with a solid performance of Kevin's premier game back from injury.

Missed watching the matchup but what I have seen from media earlier today he didn't disappoint one bit:

How about the games tomorrow?

It's only 2 games but 1 of them is a must see battle, it's between the Bucks and the Celtics. Holiday just had a huge game against the Pacers with 51 points, (not sure if this is his career though). I'm still not decided as to who to beat on this game.

On the other game, it's the Nuggets vs the Pelicans, I might go with the Nuggets here at handicap.

Congratulations to both of you @LogitechMouse and @Baofeng. Nice short parlays there. Man, I could've tailed you both if you input your picks earlier.
I didn't win any of my parlays as I thought Mavericks could at least win one more time. But, it would be a big win for me if they did with the addition of @2.75 in the parlay.

2/4 for my early team bets. Not that bad.

Trusted the Suns to win the game, credits to Og for sharing Durant's return news. I didn't even doubt putting some money into them.

Miami Heat lost to New York Knicks, well they were the underdogs in that game, I just tried my luck and the offer was sweet. They did great in the first 2 quarters until Quentin Grimes got so hot.

Mavs lost. But I do believe they also did great considering they are up against one of the top teams in the league with the unexpected Harden suddenly playing even if the reports was him being out for this game.

Sacramento Kings never fail to amaze me once again. -11.5 was covered with a lot to spare versus the undermanned Trail Blazers.

To everyone who won today, congratulations.

^^ Congrats @LogitechMouse.

Here's my bet, it was just the start of the 1st quarter when I pulled this one, when I see Giannis shooting and missing free throws, I should have bet on the handicap, but still it's a win for them, with that odds.

The game that made me nervous is the Nets against the Rockets because it was very close till the last 5 minutes of the game when the Nets suddenly play good defense and did not allow the Rockets to score.

Phoenix vs T'Wolves, still close as well and I don't know if they can cover the spread because they were just up 6 last two minutes of the game. And in the last 18 seconds, they allow a three, cutting the lead. But in the end Booker and Chris Paul made their free throws and that's enough for them to cover.

I didn't have time to share my bets way earlier, but before I sleep a few hours ago, I already put a parlay bet on some of the home teams.

Looks like your first 2 bets lost. Randle got only 3 points in this game because he got an ankle sprain on the final minutes of the 2nd quarter. I just hope that he's ok, and it's nothing serious because the playoffs are coming, and he's one of those players who played every game this season as well. The Knicks got the win anyway with the help of Quickley and Grimes who got 24 & 23 points.

As for the Mavericks-Sixers, still the Mavericks are struggling to at least get a spot in the play-in tournament as they lost to the Sixers. Let's remember that the Mavs have reached the Conference Finals last season, and in this season, they can't even reach the playoffs. Embiid, Maxey and Harden only scored 62 total points because the benched helped them and scored a total of 39 points. I wonder how Luka is feeling right now after seeing his team struggling. Him requesting a trade on the off-season?

Anyway, here is my parlay bet that I put earlier. 3 out of 4 teams already won, and I'm just waiting for the result of Timberwolves and the Suns. Good Luck to bettors.

And inconsistencies is at all time high right now, even for the over/under choices that I used to prefer aren't what they used to be, I didn't expect Houston Rockets vs Brooklyn Nets to much of an issue for the Nets to win convincingly, but it was a very close game until the final quarter, and significant lead changes, Teams with relatively nothing left to lose from the season are now doing pretty much better, some tipped regular season conference winners and potential championship candidates finding it hard to see off teams already eliminated from the playoffs berth places, though times for bettors.

That's true.
Regarding about intentionally getting a technical foul, I think he can do it without the NBA trying to dig something about it. He could easily make referees annoyed with his nonstop mouth so he can do it if they are safe for the 6th spot. He cannot do it now, T'wolves and Pelicans are still on their tail and they may want to put a gap first before they make stupid decisions.
Speaking of Timberwolves. I will be betting on the Phoenix Suns against them. Phoenix Suns (-3.5)
Thanks for the info, I will be throwing a few bucks for them.  Both teams may badly need a win so Suns won't just give this away especially at their home.

Lots of games to pick from. A long parlay seems to be difficult to win too because of the high spreads.
New York Knicks - Miami Heat - Miami Heat (4.5) It's been a long time since I took a bet for the underdog so here we go. It's kind of confusing why the Knicks are the favorites while I see Butler in props.

Philadelphia 76ers - Dallas Mavericks - Mavs ML @2.75 Another underdog. I am giving the Mavs a chance after I saw some light when they defeated the Pacers in a blowout. Coach Kidd should really use McGee if ever Embiid will play. James Harden still out.

Portland Trail Blazers - Sacramento Kings - Sacramento Kings (-11.5) Against the Portland bench after shutting down Damian. This will be an easy win for the Kings, I hope they will cover the spread.

Here are the results of my picks from yesterday I haven't made my bet and pick for today's game


Atlanta Hawks VS Cleveland Cavaliers SCORE 120 - 118 - WIN

It was a close game 1st quarter was a draw but in the 2nd quarter the Atlanta Hawks made great work of pulling the lead and maintaining that lead until the game ends Trae Young has a double-double of 10 assists and 16 points, Onyeka Okongwu got 21 points and Dejounte Murray got 29 points,

Toronto Raptors VS Miami Heat SCORE 106 - 92 - WIN

Toronto Raptors got the lead from start to finish, OG Anunoby got 22 points Scottie Barnes has a double-double of 12 assists and 22 points and Pascal Siakam got 26 points

Memphis Grizzlies VS Orlando Magic SCORE 113 - 108 - WIN

I hate to admit but the Orlando Magic doesn't have what it takes to beat the Memphis Grizzlies, from start to finish it was a one-sided game Xavier Tillman got 20 points and Desmond Bane got 31 points,

Golden State Warriors VS New Orleans Pelicans SCORE 120 - 109 - WIN

New Orleans had a very great start and I thought that this game will be another blowout for the Warriors but in the 2nd half the Warriors have made a great transition towards the 3rd and 4th quarter, Klay Thompson got 17 points, Jordan Poole got 21.and the GOAT Stephen Curry got 39 points,

∆ M. Bridges 18+ points / S. Dinwiddie 5+ assists / S. Dinwiddie 1+ steals @1.70 ∆   won

Dinwiddie had one of his worst games of the season against Orlando (2 pts on 0/11 shooting), a game BKN shouldn't have dropped. It's a good bounce-back spot for him vs. one of the worst teams in the league. HOU give the most assists to opposing point guards on the season and the second most steals.

Bridges dropped 30 against HOU earlier this month. Rockets are last in def. efficiency /L3, give the second most points per game /L3, bottom in FG%, 3pt%...his volume (leads the team with 20 FGs per game/L7) and HOU's non-existent defense...i can't see him having too much trouble getting his.

Yeah I'm looking forward to this game tonight as well.  Even though I'm not the biggest Kevin Durant fan ( I think he's a bit of an overly sensitive baby) he's obviously a huge addition to the team, and I'm excited to see what he can do with the rest of their squad.

Doing a little parlay tonight, will be taking the Suns -4.5, the Chicago Bulls +3, and the 76'rs at -4.  I haven't hit on a parlay in some time, so hoping my luck turns around here tonight lol.

Yeah, worst lost for me, they are the first game last night and so I have them with a parlay. The worst part is that I didn't even beat them on handicap, I just have them a ML just to start a good parlay on my end, with the Hawks ML and Toronto handicap. But it was destroyed with that Celtics lost.

Don't understand whey they keep on having Smart guard KP early, and Kristaps take advantage of it, either in the 3 point like or posting Smart in the middle, to shoot and get a foul.

What a great match we saw from The GSW yesterday. at halftime they were trailing by no less than 20 points. And then at the end something like 15 points ahead. Then you have made a comeback somewhere of 35 points. Curry was again phenomenal good. In the 2nd half (3rd and 4th quarters) we saw how well they can play and why their last season was the champion of the league. A lot of media attention has also been paid to a foreign player who managed to make an almost impossible pass half way out of the field of play. I don't remember his name exactly but it seems that this is the most genius pass ever given.

No guarantees yet about Durant's return but the latest tip-off revealed that he is upgraded to probable, so I guess he will indeed play tonight and then there's Ayton who is also back on the hardwood. This will be a good advantage for the team that they shouldn't let slide especially after the fact that a lot of of players of Wolves are questionable/probable including Karl Anthony-Towns and Anthony Edwards. Things are getting interesting as the season is approaching to its end.

I've gotta say it...  The Suns are unleashing Kevin Durant tonight and the Minnesota Timberwolves have been getting over injuries and trying to get back into the swing of things.  I suspect that the Suns are going to try and send a message for Durant's home debut and given the Timberwolves health struggles lately, I think this should be a good win for the Suns.  Phoenix is also finding themselves much closer to the play-in tournament than they'd like to be I'm sure, so a win here will give them a little more space and show what this team is capable of with a healthy Durant.  For that reason, I wouldn't be mad at anyone throwing a few bucks on the Suns tonight.

He went in Ingram first because he intentionally bumped him on a fast break. Luckily, he got a flagrant foul penalty 1 on that one instead of a technical, and I'd rather choose a flagrant foul penalty one than a technical on Green which is an automatic suspension for the next game. The second one is when Herb Jones and Green tangled with each other while they're down, and luckily Green got away with it again. Overall, he has 2 chances of getting that technical and an automatic 1 game suspension, but he got away with both of them.

As for the whole Warriors team, I'm just lucky that I put my bet on them when they're down double digits. I mean we've seen the Warriors down double digits in their home at halftime, and when they come back, they will let threes rain on their home, getting the momentum and eventually the victory.

Spurs seems an easy opponent, but I guess the Warriors doesn't need to be that confident because even though they are playing well on their home, we've seen some upsets coming from bottom teams already because they've defeated some top teams.

If Draymond Green gets another technical foul in the next game, he will be suspended. It would be a smart move if he could intentionally get a technical foul before the playoffs to avoid missing a playoff game. However, deliberately getting a technical foul is not allowed as it violates the rules of the game.

The Warriors will be hosting the Spurs in their next game, and it seems like an easy opponent.

1-3 for me.
I didn't expect that from the Boston Celtics to be defeated by the Washington Wizards. No Kuzma, No Bradley Beal, that says what the result should and yet they were blown out by them. They were surprised by the performance of Kristaps Porzingis and Deni Avdija, I mean I was shocked too. 

Toronto Raptors covered the -3.5 against the Miami Heat which is my single win for the day.

OKC Thunder lost against the Hornets which is expected like I said in my prediction, I really made a mistake betting for them here and I cannot pull it back anymore. Finding out about SGA not playing was too late for me.

Forgot to bet for the Warriors, that was a sizzling hot game for both teams trying to get one more win. The Pelicans are eager to continue their winning streak but it was stopped by the Warriors from a big comeback game after being down by 20 points in the 2nd quarter.

Channing Frye's TNT halftime prediction was spot on. That act of Draymond Green was a wake-up call for the Warriors and it was all worth the technical foul he received.
Congratulations to all the winners.

Congratulations, mate! It was a good win, especially for the Warriors. We can never count them out when they are down, as they have a tendency to come back strong. This was evident in the game where they were behind in the first half but managed to narrow the lead to a single digit after the third quarter and eventually took over the game in the fourth quarter.

Betting online on the Warriors provides many opportunities as they are not the most dominant team due to their size, but their experience makes them adept at winning close games.

Yeah, if we have a bet on the Warriors on the ML or handicap, it's scary for the first half, even in the third, as we think that the chances of them to win is small because Pelicans took a huge lead.

But they finally found their shooting at the end of the third quarter, and usually if they make that huge comeback or at least out score teams in the third, percentage is high for them to win the game. I just had a conservative -6.5 bet on them + Magic at least to cover the 8.5 spread against the Memphis. It was also a bad bet for me, but the Magic in the fourth quarter scored big specially in the garbage time.
