Tomorrow, we have some early games. The first game is an exciting one, as it's the rivalry between Phoenix and Dallas, but both teams have added a superstar. It's Booker vs Luka, and former teammates Irving and Durant will be playing against each other.

I'm kind of confused why Dallas is only -1. I guess Phoenix is the better team.

LeBron does not need to undergo surgery, so most likely, he will be back soon, as his team really needs him.


Yes, AD is unstoppable, but the Lakers cannot rely too much on him, as that will only put him in an injury-prone situation again. Without LeBron, this team will not make it to the playoffs, but once he is back, I think there's still a chance, as they have been playing well so far since Westbrook got traded. It's just sad that LeBron has been out for a while.

In fact LeBron James is injured, and will be sidelined, this is terrible for the Lakers, as LJ is the team's guide.
But I saw on a website that LeBron James could play again, even though he was injured, he could participate in regular season games to help the Lakers.

Well, regarding the Lakers x Timberwolves game, it was extremely clear that AD is an excellent player, even though he was playing without LJ, he managed to play his basketball and help the team significantly.
Schroder wasn't able to score like in the previous games, but on the other hand, Schroder had 12 assists, most of which went to AD.

Look, I believe that without LJ the Lakers are unlikely to make the playoffs.
But for the team to get a seed, AD and especially the other players will have to play extremely well to fill the absence of LJ

Quoted all of those who like me, put their bets on the Bucks just right now, and saying that "We Lose Our Bets".  
Not a good day for me, and to some here as well.

Anyway, here are the results of my bets today.
Washington Wizards - Toronto Raptors - Washington Wizards @ 2.12 - LOST
- I thought that the Wizards will win back-to-back against the Raptors in their home, but the Raptors got their revenge and won on the road and in overtime. Gary Trent Jr. lead the way with 26 points off the bench followed by Vanvleet with 25 points. Kuzma who has 30+ points in their last game now only has 16 points.

Miami Heat - Atlanta Hawks - Miami Heat @ 1.74 - WIN
- I think with all of the bets I put today, this is the only win that I have. Jimmy Butler only has 15 points but has 11 rebounds and has only taken 8 shots. Adebayo and Herro are the ones who lead the team with 30 and 20 points respectively. 5 players are in double digits and for the Hawks, Trae Young has only 8 points with 2/13 shooting.

San Antonio Spurs - Houston Rockets - San Antonio Spurs @ 1.97 - LOST
- I really don't want to put bet here because they are lower seeded teams, but just for fun I put. Anyway, I lost with this one. 8 players on the Rockets are in double-digits and it just shows that their offense is distributed therefore, it's hard to stop something like that. Good game for the Houston Rockets on the road.

Milwaukee Bucks - Philadelphia 76ers - Milwaukee Bucks @ 1.54 - LOST
- The Sixers trailed as many as 18 points, but manage to make a huge run on the 4th quarter, and snapped the 16-game winning streak of the Bucks. Harden played like the prime Harden that we used to see on the Rockets. He is 1 rebound away from having a triple-double having 38 points, 9 rebounds and 10 assists. Him, Maxey and Embiid scored 95 of the total 130 points of the team. Embiid's three point in the final seconds of the game is very crucial and because of that, they got the lead and eventually the win.

1/4 today. How are everybody now? What are the result of their bets?

Yeah, I think I'm done right now, not going to chase my loses, I have another loses in another sports 

So bad day for me, it was really a good game between the Bucks and the Sixers, going into the 4th quarter, both Joel and Harden switch gears.

It was really a good defense by Joel on me, maybe trying to send signals to Giannis as well even if they are on the road.

That ends the streak of the Milwaukee Bucks. Sorry guys, they lost. James Harden and Joel Embiid were both on fire. Plus, the defense on Giannis Antetokounmpo by Joel Embiid especially in the last minute of the game was amazing. He didn't back down, absorbed every bump of the Greek Freak, and stayed on his feet. That was good, I love witnessing strong defense even from offensive guys.

I am 1 out of 2 now. Watching the Kings game right now, adding more bets while they are down by 9. The Wolves offense seems to be getting better as they are dominating a known offensive team like the Kings.

Scorers like Dennis and Austin who mostly provide help if LeBron is not around did not show up their explosive games, AD can handle the interior and can make big shots but against 5 players who are distributing the ball,

It will be a tough job for AD. He needed role players who can help him both sides, playing defense and offense
while inside the court, they needed LeBron to push their chance to move forward to the next round.

I'll tail with the Bucks bet mate, I think it will be a hard game against the Sixers, but Milwaukee will maintain their winning streak here.

Kings vs the Wolves - back to back from both teams, but I will give the edge to the Kings playing at home, -4.5 @1.89

Heat vs Hawks - Atlanta 2.5 @1.89.

I'm not going to any parlays tonight.

My picks for tonight.

Miami Heat vs Atlanta Hawks = Atlanta Hawks Win 2,00 Odds.

Milwaukee Bucks (-4.5) vs Philadelphia 76ers = Milwaukee Bucks Win 1,84 Odds.

Good luck guys.

wow!!! That really hurts!  Your x51 was broken just by 1 leg.

Milwaukee Bucks vs Philadelphia 76ers
The Philadelphia 76ers (40-22) will meet the Milwaukee Bucks (45-17) tonight at Fiserv Forum. The 76ers are coming from a loss against the Dallas Mavericks while the Bucks are on a run with a 16 games win streak. The Bucks are looking to get their 17th game to extend their win streak. This will be a hard-fought battle with both teams complete and healthy.

Sacramento Kings vs Minnesota Timberwolves
The Sacramento Kings (37-25) will host the Minnesota Timberwolves (33-32) tonight at Golden 1 Center. Sacramento Kings have won 6 out of the last 10 matches against Minnesota. Sacramento have won their last 3 home defense and I expect them to win this game.

Lakers are toast.  With LeBron out they won't be able to sustain any kind of winning streak.  They are essentially a non factor whenever it comes to playoff scenerios.Lebron needs to split he doesn't have much time left and this Lakers team just isn't it.

Just by the hair mate, but I knew my bet is lost already though when Miami took that lead in the dying seconds. It's just a miracle that Randle hit that very though fade away against the defense of Butler, it was really a dagger.

And then they were not able to get a clean shot as they know what play they are going to run since this is the same play they did before when they are also down against them. That time Hero runs on several picks and got a clean shot, however he missed it. So they guarded him and they steal the ball. I was hoping that they will foul but they know that they are done with just 1.1 seconds.

Same here and in-fact, I did a wager in favor of the Los Angeles Lakers because what they did in their previous game versus the Minnesota Timberwolves was outstanding, especially Schroder but earlier, he was back again in his inconsistent phase. That is why I said to myself that they might make it this time because AD will be with them but that's not what happened as most of them failed to help their big man.

Actually, I was thinking that the Lakers could've won that game if only Dennis Schroder somehow gave what he performed last time when they were facing the Thunders but unfortunately, Schroder only focused on giving some assists to his team and only managed to contribute 6 points which is quite different from his performance in their past game. Still inconsistent, they know that LeBron might not come back in the regular season, so they should step up their game more to help AD from lifting the whole team towards a W.

On their next game, it will be played at Crypto Arena where the Lakers somehow got a little home advantage, but they should thrive hard this time as they will be facing the Warriors with Steph Curry's return.

So that's an interesting factor...
In the victory against OKC, most of the Lakers players scored, and they won the match without LJ and AD.

I have no doubt that in the game against the Timberwolves, AD would be the team's reference player, and indeed he was, AD scored 38 points, KAT was not playing, but Gobert played, in my view, AD played extremely well against the Timberwolves and mainly against Gobert.

I believe what happened in this last Lakers game was that the other players didn't perform relevantly to help the team to beat the Timberwolves.

Let's see if in the next games the Lakers can reverse these losses they had!
Tomorrow he will play against GSW and during the week against the Grizzlies

Went 1-3 last night took the Knicks when they were -3.5 it dropped all the way to +1.5 once they announced Jimmy buckets was playing.  Oh well at least the Knicks won

Got 4 games tonight all home favorites(one dog).

I like the heat -1 lost a tough one and think they will bounce back
I like the Wizards at home +2 against Toronto

Gimme the Bucks-4.5 at home have to ride them

Last I like Sacramento-5 at home. 

Good luck tonight everyone.

Ya, that was ridiculous. It took the biggest comeback of the year to ruin my parlay. Not gonna lie, I was feeling really confident about this one and put a few bucks behind it. I really thought I was about to hit it big. I honestly still can’t believe the comeback I saw as I watched the game. Oh well… I really wanted to show that winning slip though. Would have been epic.

Correct me if I'm wrong since I'm not expert on gambling and it's terms, but is this them winning the title?

They are currently on a 5 game winning streak just because they are playing on their home, and currently they are one of the best teams right now on their home. On the other hand, there road record is very awful. They are only 7-23 on the road, and if you will ask me what's the problem with the team? It's their defense. They are 2nd last season in defense, but now they are at the top 16th. Defense plays a big role and that's why we saw the Celtics getting into the NBA Finals last season.

If you really want to bet on them, maybe try to wait a little longer and observe their record in their next 10 games because on that 10, 8 games will be on the road. If there is an improvement on them playing on the road, you might try and risk it. I mean there are some experts who are betting on them as well. It wasn't a waste of money, but try and observe them for the next 10 games then you decide.

Good luck to all of us and here's my bets
Washington Wizards - Toronto Raptors - Washington Wizards @ 2.12
- I thought that this game will be held on the home of the Raptors, but when I saw that it will be on Washington "again", I think that they will win on it again. They just have a game a few days ago so these 2 teams know now how to counter each other. I just bet on the Wizards because it's their home court.

Miami Heat - Atlanta Hawks - Miami Heat @ 1.74
- I guess the Miami can defend their home against the visiting Atlanta Hawks. With their new coach Quinn Snyder, I'm not expecting too much for these Hawks team, but this match will be an important match for both teams. If Atlanta wins, they will switch with Miami on the 7th and 8th spot because the Miami are only 0.5 games ahead of the Hawks.

San Antonio Spurs - Houston Rockets - San Antonio Spurs @ 1.97
- The battle of the low-seeded teams. I just bet on the Spurs on this one because it's their home court.

Milwaukee Bucks - Philadelphia 76ers - Milwaukee Bucks @ 1.54
- With the Bucks having a very good home record (27-5), I don't think that they will lose on this one even though they are facing Harden, Embiid and Maxey. The winning streak is on the line here. Giannis is playing like the normal Giannis that we've used to watch who is dominating the paint. He recovered from his injury already.

Warriors has a very weak bench unlike before that they have a full pack players that they sacrificed just to maintain their main man. It’s very hard to dominate the league if you have a weak subs while the enemy team like Boston, Suns and other top contender has a very strong and young line-up.

That 15.0 odds is really good but current teams on NBA is not joke unlike last year. I think everyone is prepared for the GSW especially Clippers and Nuggets on West, Boston on East.

Without further ado here are my picks for tomorrow's game,

Washington Wizards VS Toronto Raptors

The stake odds for this game are 2.90 for the Wizards and 1.78 for the Raptors, Right now Monte Morris can not play for the Wizards, while Dalano Banton is doubtful if he can play for the Raptors, for this game I think the Wizards is underestimated here and a lot wants Raptors to win, but for me, last game for this two teams the Washington Wizards have won, so my pick is the Washington Wizards,

Miami Heat VS Atlanta Hawks

The stake odds for this game are 1.74 for the Heat and 2.15 for the Hawks, Right now Kyle Lowry and Nikola Jovic can not play for the Heat, and Omer Yurtseven is doubtful if he can play for the Heat, while the Atlanta Hawks doesn't have any injuries, for this game I don't think that the Heat could easily win against the Hawks now that the Hawks is at their 100% but the Atlanta Hawks was underestimated by the odds, for me, my pick is the Atlanta Hawks,

Milwaukee Bucks VS Philadelphia 76ers

The stake odds for this game are 1.54 for the Bucks and 2.55 for the 76ers, Right now Wesley Matthews, can not play for the Bucks while Dewayne Dedmon is doubtful if he can play for the 76ers, for this game it is clear that Milwaukee Bucks has Giannis Antetouompo and can play for the Bucks, so this is a good opportunity for the Bucks winning this, that is why my pick is the Milwaukee Bucks,

Sacramento Kings VS Minnesota Timberwolves

The stake odds for this game are 1.48 for the Kings and 2.75 for the Timberwolves, right now Richaun Holmes is doubtful if he can play for the Kings while Jaylen Nowell and Karl-Anthony Towns can not play for the Timberwolves, for this game the Timberwolves are having a hardtime and they are not the same Timberwolves they used to be, while the Sacramento Kings are equal with the Clippers, so my pick is the Sacramento Kings,
