Congratulations again for you, and to all winners today.
You probably put your bet when the Nuggets were down. That was a come-from-behind win for them. They are a smart team, which is why they won, and the Raptors were just frustrated in the dying minutes, which caused them to get distracted easily.
The second one where the odds are higher, yes I put my bet during the game and when they are down double digits. I'm lucky I guess, or I just knew that the Nuggets will protect their home, and continue the winning streak.

Did you see what Jokic did in that last play? He thinks so fast you could say he is really a genius. While they are up by 3, he fouled the worst free throw shooter of the Raptors, Poetl. The best part is he did it in a way that would not tick a transition foul, intentional, or away from the ball.
It's the fault of Coach Nurse that he didn't pulled out Poetl where in fact, he's a poor free throw shooter, or I guess Coach Nurse didn't thought of it already because of his frustration towards the calls of Scott Foster that is kind of a bias. With regards to Jokic fouling Poetl, as we expected for an 2x MVP. There was also a time during the halftime where him and Coach Malone are talking to each other regarding different plays to the team, and that's a good sign especially if that works for the whole team.
Anyway, here are my bets for tomorrow's ballgame:
Los Angeles Lakers - Memphis Grizzlies -
Los Angeles Lakers @ 1.77- It will be a battle of Anthony Davis and Jaren Jackson Jr. on the paint, and I think nobody in the Grizzlies can stop Davis. The bad thing though is that, Davis is on a day-to-day basis as of the moment, and if he doesn't play, the Grizzlies has a chance to steal this one on the road. Nevertheless, I already put my bet on the Lakers hoping that AD will play.
Minnesota Timberwolves - Philadelphia 76ers -
Philadelphia 76ers @ 1.81- With how the Sixers played and snapped the winning streak of the Bucks on the road, I believe that they can steal one again on the road against the Timberwolves. Currently, the Wolves are on a 3 game winning streak, and all of those games are played on the road, but on the other hand, their home record is a good one as well with 20-14. Still, I'll go with the Sixers on this one. It's just unfortunate that their 2 starters Harris and Tucker are on a day-to-day basis because of the injuries that they had against the Bucks.
Oklahoma City Thunder - Golden State Warriors -
Oklahoma City Thunder @2.50- The record of the Warriors are 7-24. 3rd worst record by a defending champion. The 2 other? '98-'99 Bulls and the '56-'57 Warriors. I'm a Warriors fan, but I would be happy still if I will lose my bet on this one. I just bet on the Thunder because of the awful record of the Warriors on the road.
Good Luck to all of us bettors.
