Opportunity. Because there's a chance they may win the championship. I have neighbors who are pessimistic about this but when you look at how they are defeating strong teams, it should not be a question anymore. This is not different from what happened last year. They are underestimated and yet they won the championship. I can say it's a strong bet but don't expect too much.
Consistency had been their biggest issue. Without Steph, Klay would need to step up but now, it's not all about him anymore.

6 games later.
My early picks will be for:
Washington Wizards - Toronto Raptors - Wizards ML
San Antonio Spurs - Houston Rockets - Rockets ML
Sacramento Kings - Minnesota Timberwolves- Kings -3.5.

I would like to discuss NBA futures betting.

While browsing the odds, I noticed that the Warriors are at 15. Honestly, I am tempted to bet on them now because they have proven how good they are as a team. Even without Curry, they still manage to win games. They are currently ranked fifth in the Western Conference with a 34-30 win/loss record and are on a five-game winning streak.

What do you think about my thoughts? Is this an opportunity or am I just wasting my money?

Despite scoring 38 points, Davis was unable to carry his team to victory. The Lakers really need LeBron; although they have won some games without him, their playoff chances might be at risk without consistency. It was a home game, so they were supposed to win with their home advantage, but they lacked energy, the ball movement seemed lost, and they relied too much on their big man AD."

Yup! that is why I always pick the fewer odds or almost the same odds for a more profitable win, and that is why I am just betting on 4 games,

Well, the Suns are a formidable team I had to admit they become a top-tier team thanks to Kevin Durant and right now Chris Paul has adjusted his play in scoring less and doing a great job with making plays, passing the ball to a wide-open teammate and scoring himself when an open opportunity came, while yes the Knicks are more reliable than the Heat, I can not trust Butler at all he is consistent, but in some other time he is not, and for me, Knicks are a team with great success right now,

Here are the result of my picks I am having a great time just getting good sometimes but some other times I feel unlucky and resting from a bet really help, now I got 3/4

Chicago Bulls VS Phoenix Suns SCORE 104 - 125 - WIN

The Phoenix Suns quite have a dominant start 40 points in the 1st quarter surely is a great leap for the Suns, and the lead just continues Chris Paul is in great mode with his assists and when he is open he is the one creating shots, Kevin Durant got 20 points Josh Okogie got 25 points and Devin Booker got 35 points,

Miami Heat VS New York Knicks SCORE 120 - 122 - WIN

This game was really a pretty close game but surely the New York Knicks got a great lead that the Heat couldn't make an advancement to the knicks lead, but it was a pretty much close game, RJ Barrett got 17 points, Immanuel Quickley got 21 points, Jalen Brunson got 25 points and Julius Randle got 43 points,

Golden State Warriors VS New Orleans Pelicans SCORE 108 - 99 - WIN

A close game indeed, CJ McCollum got 25 points, but the Golden State Warriors got a pretty great lead in winning the game, the Warriors got a great spread with this game, and I think the whole team had given their part, Jordan Poole got 18 points, Jonathan Kuminga got 19 points and Klay Thompson got 27 points,

Los Angeles Lakers VS Minnesota Timberwolves SCORE 102 - 110 - LOST

A Close game indeed and because Lebron James and D'Angelo Russell didn't play the Lakers just had a hard time winning against the Timberwolves, but it was a pretty much close game, the Timberwolves got a pretty decent spread of Naz Reid got 15 points, Anthony Edwards got 19 points and Rudy Gobert has a double-double of 14 rebounds and 22 points,

I confess that I was surprised by this defeat by Boston.
The Celtics were performing very well, but even so, the Nets managed to reduce that point difference and win the match.

A game that I was extremely bad, was Lakers x Timberwolves, with a possible return of AD and another KAT game would be absent, I imagined that the chance of the Lakers win was greater, well... this was another game that I was terrible in my bets lol

2/4. Just a split.

I should've gone further at the spreads for the Suns and the Nuggets. Kind of lost my courage there and didn't go greedy.
Sacramento Kings won but didn't cover, the game is too close because the Clippers are really trying to push for a win. PG13, Westbrook, and Gordon all scored above 20 points. Knicks won too but the same result they didn't cover the spread. Man, it could've been a perfect night.

I thought I took a bet for the Warriors, I guess I forgot.  Jonathan Kuminga exploded and it's definitely a big help for a team that's playing back-to-back games. They badly need that young energetic aura on their home floor and it became contagious.

Sad to say that your parlay was being ruined by 1 point NYK win only by 2 points as Heat didn't let them to dominate butler
played and provide 33 points. They almost take this one against NYK.

Almost a good comeback for the Heat, just a little close in snatching this at home, still struggling to win games for them
even they are almost complete and healthy playing.

Better luck next time!

I'm a little disappointed with the game between the Clippers and the Kings. Maybe I'm a little biased, as I had bet on the Clippers with 2.75 moneyline odds during the live game. I thought that my bet would easily lose, but then the Clippers had a good run and even led in the 4th quarter. What disappoints me is that it seems like the refs are calling fouls too easily in favor of the Kings. It appears like they want the home team to win, but for the Clippers to still cover the handicap.

Unfortunately your parlay would have been ruined by the team with probably the least odds for the night, for clarification I meant the Boston Celtics losing to the Brooklyn Nets from a situation that the Celtics are 30-1 in, that's for every game that they've lead by at least 20 points in the first quarter, I'm sure this one is also going down in their history.

The Brooklyn Nets finally defeats the Celtics in the NBA after 10 consecutive loss in this fixture, without KD, Kyrie, James Harden or even Ben Simmons, from being down by 28 points in the game, It's freaking surreal!

For tonight's picks I think I like a multi-bet parlay with the Magic, Celtics, Suns, Nuggets, Warriors, Kings, & Timberwolves.  I put a couple bucks on that as well as a few variations to see if I could make some magic happen tonight.  With the Celtics/Nets and Grizzlies/Nuggets both being on ESPN tonight, I figured I'd watch and make it a little interesting.  I'm already looking forward to the weekend though.  Sunday has a pretty good lineup of games starting with one that I've been waiting to see since I heard about the KD and Kyrie trades...  The Suns and the Mavericks are kicking things off Sunday morning on ABC.  Already excited.

∆ C. Capela 20+ PR / C. Capela 1+ blocks / Hawks ML @2.03 ∆   won

Wizards spoiled Quin Snyder's debut with the Hawks even though they trailed practically the entire game. It's a good bounce-back spot for them, i'm also targeting the biggest mismatch in this game. Capela vs. Blazers team who plays without a typical center (Nurk is injured). Capela had 13 and 15 (+ 3 blocks) in his first game with the new coach on 35 minutes. Blazers give the most points to opposing centers on the season, bottom in the league with points in the paint allowed /L10. Capela should have 20 points + rebounds by the end of the first half. He's had at least one block in 6/L7.

Here's my pick:

Orlando vs Hornets, - I'll go with Orlando, they need to bounce back, -3.5 @1.86
Knicks vs Miami - Butler is listed as probable, Knicks to me, -2.5 @1.84

I also parlay this two to make it more exciting @3.42.

Yes, I commented on something similar in another post on the same subject.

Although OKC is not a top team, it is in a similar situation as the Lakers in the championship (battling also to get a seed in the playoffs), I have no doubt that OKC did everything to win that game, because for both teams the victory is important.

Tomorrow the Lakers will play against the Timberwolves, I believe it will be an interesting game, if I'm not mistaken AD will be able to play, but KAT I believe not yet.
I dont know, It might be a good idea to bet on Lakers

My picks for tonight,

Boston Celtics (-3.5) vs Brooklyn Nets = First Quarter Win 1,79 Odds.

Chicago Bulls  vs Phoenix Suns (-5.5) = Phoenix Suns Win 2,15 Odds.

Miami Heat vs New York Knicks (-3.5) = New York Knicks 1,89 Odds.

Good luck guys.

Right! Lots of games today but let's just try to filter some games that can give us more profits and gives us more chances to win. It's much better to playsafe especially if we're on a lose streak

Tailing you with the Suns and Knicks bet mate, I've got less doubt for the teams I've mentioned as the Knicks are much reliable than the Heat mainly if Butler will not play today as Butler is listed as probable. Especially for the Suns, KD is now playing with them and as long as there's no injuries in the big three, there chances will always be great. Good luck!

Yup! it was really lucky well when I bet I always look at the odds, and if the odds are too far from each other or I think it is not going to be profitable I will stay away from it, and just like I always say, looking at the odds, looking at the injuries recent games for the teams that will fight, and their recent games that the team have faced each other, but pretty much it all goes down to luck,

There are so many games today and here are my picks for today's game,

Chicago Bulls VS Phoenix Suns

The stake odds for this game are 2.32 for the Bulls and 1.64 for the Suns, Right now the Chicago Bulls got no injuries while Landry Shamet can not play for the Suns, and Terrence Ross is doubtful if he can play for the Suns, for this game because the Phoenix Suns now have Kevin Durant this is a hard game for the Bulls, and because Devin Booker can also play a great game and can also be in tandem with Durant My pick is the Phoenix Suns,

Miami Heat VS New York Knicks

The stake odds for this game are 2.29 for the Heat and 1.66 for the Knicks, Right now Kyle Lowry, and Nikola Jovic, can not play for the Heat, and Caleb Martin, Jimmy Butler, and Omer Yurtseven are doubtful if they can play for the Heat While the Knicks doesn't have any injuries, for this game I think that the New York Knicks have a great chance in winning this game, so my pick is the New York Knicks,

Golden State Warriors VS New Orleans Pelicans

The stake odds for this game are 1.55 for the Warriors and 2.55 for the Pelicans, right now Gary Payton II, and Stephen Curry can not play for the Warriors, Andre Iguodala and Andrew Wiggins are doubtful they can play for the Warriors while Josh Richardson, Jose Alvarado, Larry Nance Jr., E.J. Liddell, and Zion Williamson can not play for the Pelicans, and Jonas Valanciunas is only doubtful if he can play, so my pick is the Golden State Warriors

Los Angeles Lakers VS Minnesota Timberwolves

The stake odds for this game are 1.97 for the Lakers and 1.88 for the Timberwolves, right now LeBron James, and D'Angelo Russell can not play for the Lakers, while, Anthony Davis, along with Dennis Schroder is doubtful they can play, and Karl-Anthony Towns, can not play and Jaylen Nowell, Wendell Moore Jr. is doubtful if they can play for the game, right now this is the only game with a close one for me I will go with the Lakerse, my pick is the Los Angeles Lakers,

Grizzlies-Nuggets game is interesting to watch but I don't think I'll also bet on that game. I've been looking at their present odds but it's not that interested, much better for me to sit this one up and enjoy the game.

For Ja Morant's recent accusation:
Contrary to popular belief, the two-time All-Star was not suspended, not by the NBA or by the Grizzlies.

For the games later:
Portland Trail Blazers ML @ 3.50 vs Atlanta Hawks
New York Knicks -3 vs Miami Heat
Phoenix Suns -5.5 vs Chicago Bulls

I'm glad that ESPN will be televising a couple games tonight.  The Grizzlies vs Nuggets game might be a good one to watch but I'm not sure I want to bet on it.  I'm leaning towards the Nuggets, but we'll see.  The Grizzlies are no joke this year.  I did hear that Ja Morant might be suspended, but I'm not sure if that's official or a rumor at this point. 

The game I think might be a good bet tonight is the Celtics beating the Nets.  The Nets are in a bit of chaos at the moment after losing KD and Kyrie.  While they responded by playing well, I think the honeymoon is over and it's time that they accept they're in a rebuild. 

Good lineup tonight hitching onto 4 games tonight.  Gonna ride with everyone else and:

Take Suns-3.5 on the road against the Bulls.  Until proven wrong I'm riding them

Knicks -3.5 on road against heat.  Tough game but knicks have been bullying people led by the EC player of the month jalen brunson.  Knicks stole him from Dallas.

Portland +8 on the road against the Hawks.  Dame almost getting double digits I will take my chances.

And gimme the Celtics-11 against the Nets.  Nets are in a tailspin and it won't stop vs Celtics.

Good luck tonight everyone!

Not just the Mavericks but all teams in the West from the 4th seed to 11th seed is not that safe because they are so tight with each other and a loss will certainly lead to a replacement of a spot. All teams in the said spot are playing well and thriving hard not to get replaced by some teams below them, the only unfortunate team these day was the LA Clippers for having a four consecutive lose streak.

But for the Mavs, I understand you if you're not that comfortable now because they just showed us their first game with a good chemistry. They still need to prove and sway us to be comfortable about them, I believe they can at one point because Luka is not alone now.
