Damn, Milwaukee Bucks broke my 5-team favorites parlay, except for the Sacramento Kings which are underdogs against the Brooklyn Nets.
Luckily I won, 2 of my 3 early bets teams in singles.

Denver Nuggets covered the -12.5, thankfully. I thought they won't/can't as the Pistons are sizzling hot in the first half and even had a lead when the 2nd quarter ended. KCP did help a lot to put a distance in the score.

Phoenix Suns won but did not cover the -5.5. Sadly.

Sacramento Kings won the game on the road and I won my ML. @2.33. Love it! I think Coach Mike Brown will get the Coach of the Year this season. He did manage to level up this team and of course all credits to Steve Kerr, he may have learned a lot being an assistant for one of the best coaches in the league.

Congratulations to all the winners.

Well, it makes me curious about that now especially when I read his line saying:

Might be right? Especially when we see such top teams that are getting bullied on the hardwood by any team below .300 , I mean that is almost unbelievable to happen especially if these top teams are complete and healthy yet they're getting defeated by a low tier team. For example, Denver Nuggets was lost (with healthy Jokic, Murray, Gordon and Porter Jr.) against San Antonio Spurs.

I think this article deserves to be posted here.

“Blows My Mind!”: Kyrie Irving Goes Off on Gambling For Spoiling the Purity of NBA Basketball

What do you think is the right interpretation of his statement? Does he give us a clue that the NBA is fixed, and that the referees or the organization are dictating the outcome of the game? Is he suggesting that no matter how good a team is, they will still lose because the outcome was already planned?

I made a parlay bet early this morning and my parlay already lost because OKC lost to TOR, my bet combo's consists of 5 matchup: OKC, DEN, SACRAMENTO, MIL AND PHX. 1 out of what I picked already lost and I think it is my fault because my analysis is not that good. I know that TOR has upperhand but I still bet on OKC because of the ODDs. The IND and MIL are still currenty playing in this moment and the IND are up by 9 points, let's see if Giannis can carry his team tonight. ORL vs PHX are not yet starting but there is a high chance that PHX will win this match. I'm gonna make some analysis later on NBA games for tomorrow, I'll take this loss as a lesson and I should consider my analysis and forget the odds because it makes me greedy and create a bad decision that can end up in to losses.

I'm streaming the game live because I wanted to watch how Killian Hayes and Jaden Ivey would fair against the Denver Nuggets, Ivey have been worth the streaming but Hayes got into some foul troubles way too early. Denver Nuggets have finally been able to create a reasonable points difference between them and the Pistons, currently, it is exactly 14 point with a little over 2 minutes to play for, but I hope they are able to maintain that margin, if eventually they aren't able to add to it, because Pistons have actually stayed in sight all through the game, until the 4th quarter when Jamal Murray and Jokic dictating the plays and exercising their dominance over the Pistons. I'd say the Denver Nuggets should be able close this one out easily from here on!

I passed on betting this specific game because I'm not that sure whether the Warriors can break their lose streak on the road because they're just too bad on it, so opposite when they are playing on their homecourt. It was a close game and I came to a point that I already assumed that this will be the game that the Warriors will break their curse. But unfortunately, that's not what happened. Also with the Lakers, I expected that Schroder or D'Angelo will take the helm but neither one of them took it and just let the Rockets embarrassed them.

Yes, that's true.
I am taking the Nuggets bet here too although they are playing on the road. It should not matter anymore to them and should push this win whatever happens.
Detroit Pistons - Denver Nuggets - Denver Nuggets (-12.5)
Jamal Murray is listed probably but I already saw his name in the player props so I guess that's a good sign that he will be playing. This should be easy for them and the spreads will be covered.

Another team that's on a slump is Phoenix Suns. There's a chance they will also force a win here especially playing at their home.
Phoenix Suns - Orlando Magic - Phoenix Suns (-5.5)
The impact of losing Durant due to injury is way too big and they don't have a Mikal Bridges and Johnson combination anymore that helps whenever they are in need of offense and defense.

Brooklyn Nets - Sacramento Kings - Kings ML
Sacramento is the underdog this time due to a back-to-back game. But I won't be messing with Fox and Sabonis. That duo can still play even when exhausted, plus they also have a deep bench so they might win this one.

His closest competitor will be Giannis and Joel if I'm not mistaken, and maybe there could be change of hearts as far as voting goes if Jokic can't put this regular season on a winning note, L-4 on their standing, right now, not looking good.


Yeah, that Lakers lost though, hehehe, I just even had them at -1.5, just enough, but still they fell short to one of the worst team when they should be winning that to put themselves in a good position. Now they are going to scramble in this last few games and it might not be in their hands as to what position they will be at the end of the regular season.

Heard that Denver Nuggets are on a slump and have lost four of their last games played. And Jokic might be out of the MVP race if they don't start getting to those winning ways soon.
So their game against a very poor Detroit Pistons team tonight. This a must win and the odds are heavily in their favor for a comeback to be in the winning category again.
I think will go for a -13.5 for the Nuggets tonight.
Watched Pistons play the other day and they were disorganized and very young players on their starting lineup due to so many injuries to their main squad.

Man, I can't help but wish you good luck with your picks, although I'm quite skeptical about both choice, Bucks are with a number of players would had been terrific for them when Giannis was out,  Brook Lopez and Jae Crowder are out of this tie, although I still expect an easy win from them btw, just that first quarter might be quite too early for them to establish huge dominace  of the game.


I like your Kings pick more instead, the Nets looks like they've got some really good pieces together and it's 50/50 game from my point of view, so riding with the better odds seem very logical to me, too. I'll be tailing you on this one

GL!

My picks for tonight.

Brooklyn Nets vs Sacramento Kings = Sacramento Kings Win 2,24 Odds.

Milwaukee Bucks (-3.5) vs Indiana Pacers = First Quarter Win 1,75 Odds.

Good luck guys.

Lots of focus over on day 1 ncaa tourny but still a decent lineup tonight.  Got 3 games I like:

1) Raptors at home -6.  They have been playing good ball lately.
2) Suns -8 at home.  Tough road game for a young orlando team, think they roll here.
3) kings -3 at the Nets. Kings are better than I thought, this is a tough east coast trip for them but think they can steal one in Brooklyn.

Good luck tonight everyone!

Yep! it wasn't really that bad and in this case, all was really good, but for the Warriors losing this match, you can say I am frustrated because I am a Warriors fan, you can say they may sure have a plan but in this game, they can win it, that 50 points from Curry aren't always in every game and they just blew it like that, but anyway at least they are still in a good position to make it to the playoffs,


It was a close game the Kings really struggles a lot, but a win is a win, I think the Bulls right now a great team now because Zach LeVine is a different player now, well you can say that the Chicago Bulls even though they are left behind the position their team now is now great in dealing with the Sacramento Kings,


It was really spoiled and I didn't expect them to lose like that, but yeah it really happens, and because Andrew Wiggins and Jonathan Kuminga is not at their 100% self, the Warriors as in a slump now, they badly needed Wiggins extra defense and that turn over was really too much Coach Kerr should have a word on them and they keep on mistaken and if this keeps up they could be drop from a higher position,

Many thought that it will be like this knowing that the Bulls are on the bottom seed while the Kings is on the top
However, the Kings won on the road, but they won in a hard way. I'm thinking what if that shot of Fox that sealed the deal didn't went in, and it goes to overtime? Can they still win? Anyway, it didn't happen, and now they are 2nd again currently tied with the Kings with 4.5 games behind the top seeded Nuggets.

As expected. It's on the road. The Warriors lost yet again.

They can't stop Big Zu on the paint. I mean even Looney is having a hard time with him inside. Curry's heroic performance in this game has been spoiled by PG and Kawhi. Let's give credits to Terance Mann as well because he adjusted from their starting PG when Westbrook isn't in the Clippers to now their bench and their potential 6th man. Credits to Eric Gordon as well because he played really well on this game scoring 14 points in the 3rd quarter.

1/5 road game for the Warriors. 4 consecutive road games to go. If you want to bet on their next, maybe it's safe to bet against them if they will play on the road. Not an advice though.

The Lakers lost absolutely killed me last night. That is the biggest parlay bet I’ve had go wrong to date. I was four points away from having a major celebration but instead it’s nothing but tears this morning. I joke, but seriously that was a heartbreaking loss to one of the worst teams in the league and they really needed that win to be back to .500.

Yup normal thing that happened, win-or-lose team needs to move forward and find the better adjustment to win their next game, I love how Steph take this game but like what you said the defense needs more adjustments.

Moving on, there are games we can't take tomorrow seems that betting odd will be bias here and heavy favorites will
get the upper hand, still enough time to analyze and look for a good upset for a higher reward/risk bet.

A good day, perfect early team bets.

Philadelphia 76ers got lucky they won that challenge when Embiid was called for an offensive foul, that could've been his sixth. Good call by Coach Doc Rivers to believe in Embiid and challenge it without any doubts. As I predicted, he will devour the paint without hesitation with only Mobley stopping him.

Miami Heat 138 points. These may be the highest points allowed by the Grizzlies. They are known for their superb defense but without Adams and Clarke, who can stop Bam Adebayo? 26 points, 10/15 FG. That's above 50 percent which is too good.

Bulls vs Kings. I think that's the best game of the day. Close game, tie game, buzzer beater. Fox made a three, my spread was covered. 
I was actually expecting overtime so my Over 235.5 will hit, but it's okay.
Congratulations to all the winners.

We are on the same side here, mate. I bet on the Warriors at 2.20 during the live game. It was a close game, although the Warriors were always trailing. However, bad shots in the 4th quarter and a lack of defense allowed the Clippers to capitalize on their mistakes. Anyway, it's normal to win some and lose some, but in your case, winning three out of four isn't bad.

I was really surprised but 1st here are the result of my picks

Miami Heat VS Memphis Grizzlies SCORE 138 - 119 - WIN

It was a solid win for the Miami Heat and because Ja Morant is not around the Heat have known the Grizzlies very well without Ja Morant, it was shown in their play from start to finish they are dominating the Grizzlies, Jimmy Butler got 23 points, Tyler Herro got 24 points and Bam Adebayo got a solid 26 points, for the Heat to win,

Chicago Bulls VS Sacramento Kings SCORE 114 - 117 - WIN

Just like I thought it was going to be a close game but still, the Kings made the win, Patrick Beverly did an amazing feat with rebounding for the team, and have gotten momentum for them, but it was not enough because the Sacramento Kings are also focused in winning this match, Harrison Barnes got 17 points, Kevin Huerter got 15 points, De'Aaron Fox got 32 points,

Minnesota Timberwolves VS Boston Celtics SCORE 102 - 104 - WIN

It was a close game but I really don't know if the Celtics are really trying to win this game it was a close one and Jaylen Brown was exploding toward the game, Malcolm Brogdon got 12 points, Jayson Tatum has a double-double performance of 12 rebounds and 22 points and Jaylen Brown has a double-double of 10 rebounds and 35 points,

Los Angeles Clippers VS Golden State Warriors SCORE 134 - 126 - LOST

Crazy Stephen Curry has pushed his limits to make 50 points in this game but still, I think the Warrior's defense is very wide in this game that is why, and they are bad at turnovers 16 turns over and I think this needs to be changed while the Clippers Ivica Zubac has a double-double of 16 rebounds and 19 points, Paul George got 24 points, and Kawhi Leonard got 30 points,

Lakers are missing Anthony Davis tonight out with an injury I believe so hopefully they can come through. I also took the Lakers to win and have Dallas along for the ride with a parlay tonight. That’s my main bet for the evening so I’ll be keeping my eyes on the scores. Golden State and the Clippers on ESPN is the game I’ll be watching though.
