Well, ever since the Chicago Bulls trade for Patrick Beverly, they seems to be a bit of a different team. Now it’s only been two games so far, as well as they played versus some pretty crappy teams, but you can just tell in their style of game of late, that they are a changed team.

The Bulls face off with the Toronto Raptors tomorrow, getting +4.5 points. I’m going to ride their hot hand and lay a few Satoshi down for this one.

I also have the Pelicans -3 but I took a smaller handicap because I think this will be a close win and I doubt they can win by more than double possession after their rocky form on the road.

Magic's road record is 3-2 so far this month so they could still put up a good fight but this should be a win for the Pelicans knowing they're better at home.

Philadelphia 76ers vs Miami Heat
The Philadelphia 76ers (39-20) will visit the Miami Heat (32-29) tonight at Wells Fargo Arena. The 76ers are coming from a devastating loss against the Celtics. This is their comeback game after that loss. 
Heat key injuries: Tyler Herro (rib) questionable, Nikola Jovic (back) out, Kevin Love (knee) probable, Kyle Lowry (knee) questionable
76ers key injuries: Dewayne Dedmon (hip) out

New York Knicks vs Boston Celtics
The New York Knicks (35-27) are hosting the visiting Boston Celtics (44-17) tonight at Madison Square Garden. The Celtics are coming from a nailbiter win against the Philadelphia 76ers, 110-107. The Knicks is on a 5 game winning streak.Knicks are defending their home and playing good basketball but I think Celtics still has the upper hand in this match, even without Jaylen Brown.
Celtics key injuries: Jaylen Brown (personal) out, Derrick White (ankle) probable

It's true. All teams are going to try harder to secure a playoff spot especially those in the brink of being dragged to the play-in tournament if ever they lose more and those in the 11-13 seeds trying to climb even just for a play-in and have a chance for the 7th and 8th spot after the small tournament. We need to observe those teams more. The Lakers are a good example.

I am sure the 76ers will force a win here after that devastating loss against the Celtics. I will be tailing you on that.
Philadelphia 76ers - Miami Heat - Philadelphia 76ers (-6.5) - Still no Kyle Lowry and Tyler Herro is in probable status.

I like the Knicks pick too.
New York Knicks - Boston Celtics - New York Knicks ML - Brown out untile March 1, White game-time decision.

New Orleans Pelicans - Orlando Magic - New Orleans Pelicans (-4.5) Might become a fast-paced game as both teams are composed of young players. Will be taking the Over 226.5.

My picks for tonight.

New York Knicks vs Boston Celtics = Boston Celtics Win 1,74 Odds.

Philadelphia 76ers (-5.5) vs Miami Heat = Philadelphia 76ers Win 1,85 Odds.

Good luck guys.

Yeah, but I guess we have to trust that the Kings are a real contender this season. Fox, Sabonis and Malik Monk's chemistry and very different. We have seen Fox full potential as he is taking the game for the Kings.


I have the same bet as you mate, I put it without seeing you bet. And besides this single bet, I already up the risk with a parlay with Knicks ML + Sixers handicap, hehehe.

Losing night last night first one since the break.  Need to start a new winning streak here.  Got 2l3 games tonight:

First up knicks +2.5 at home against the Celtics.  Yeah I know but jaylen brown is out and think the Knicks can suffocate Taytum enough.  Gimme the Knicks

Sixers -6 at home.  Hard loss against the celts the other night.  Think they roll this one.  Embid goes for 40 tonight

And gimme the Pelicans -4 yeah they got blown out in NY the other night but I think this one is a good matchup. 

Good luck everyone!!

Well, I think that's less bad!

I have no doubt, this regular season will be interesting, and I also realized that some teams are doing everything to win in these last games.

Incredible as it may seem, I realized that is much more difficult to win/settle bets at the end of the regular season.
I've been losing too often lol

Guys, does this also happen to you?

Thanks for the heads up mate and for your early bets as well.

Please let me tail you for the Celtics -2 and Sixers -5.5 bet because I got a feeling that the Celtics can still manage even without Brown on the lineup as there are still other reliable guys on their roster that will be present on the floor later and for the 76ers, I believe they can manage facing the Knicks and will bounce back from the decent they got in the last game.

Here are my picks for today's game we got 3 games for today,

Philadelphia 76ers VS Miami Heat

The stake odds for this game are 1.43 for the 76ers and 2.95 for the Heat, for this game Dewayne Dedmon can not play for the 76ers, while Omer Yurtseven, and Nikola Jovic can not play for the heat, Kyle Lowry, Kevin Love, and Tyler Herro is doubtful if they can play for the heat, for this game because of the so many injuries of the Heat and a few of their main players my pick is the Philadelphia 76ers,

New York Knicks VS Boston Celtics

The stake odds for this game are 2.13 for the Knicks and 1.76 for the Celtics, right now the Knicks doesn't have any injuries, while Jaylen Brown and Danilo Gallinari can not play for the Celtics, and Derrick White is doubtful if he can play for the Celtics, for this game despite the Knicks doesn't have any injuries I still trust the Celtics with Jayson Tatum still in the team, my pick is the Boston Celtics,

New Orleans Pelicans VS Orlando Magic

The stake odds for this game are 1.59 for the Pelicans and 2.43 for the Magic, right now Larry Nance Jr., Zion Williamson, and E.J. Liddell can not play for the Pelicans, while Jonathan Isaac, can not play for the Magic and Michael Carter-Williams is doubtful if he can play for the Magic, for this game because they still got Brandon Ingram and CJ, McCollum so I will bet for the New Orleans Pelicans,

I definitely agree! Hence why Klay Thompson got a 30+ record and got the win against the Timberwolves earlier today. Folks, let's not forget that the Golden State Warriors are already proven that they are really really hard to defeat at home and that will remain as long as the Splash Brothers are still on the team, even if Klay was the only present today, what more if Steph Curry was there.

It's pretty advisable that we should just bet on the Warriors especially if they are playing at the Chase Center, or if at doubt, let's just skip the game as that's safer.

I did but not for the LA Clippers. 
I made two separate parlays on the late games.

Luckily, it won and it could've been better if I went for just one 4 way parlay. But a win is still profits so I am okay with it.
I missed the Warriors game and just watching the highlights now. Also, missed the Trail Blazers game and just found out in the reports that Dame went nuts with 71 points. That's crazy.
Nuggets vs Clippers though I didn't miss. That is one hell of an entertaining game that went to overtime thanks to Porter's three-pointer and then PG13 coming back to get a foul.
They still haven't lost a game whenever Jokic makes a triple-double.

I was thinking that GSW will let this one go after that 3rd quarter run from the Wolves, but to my surprise they push this one
and do everything to reverse the outcome.

Klay again provides the need while Steph was out, shooting impressively while helping as well with their defense, the rest
was all-in to win the game.

I'm sure there are live bettors who take the risk for GSW while they are down after the end of the 3rd quarter.

I think we can really trust the Kings. The usual players who scored well are still contributing, especially Fox. Honestly, I was a bit tempted to bet on the Kings, but I realized that they might get tired because of the double overtime. However, I was wrong, they still continued their dominance. Next time, I won't miss betting on this team. They are a young team but a real playoff contender now.

Clippers still struggle to get a win at home, they should break that soon.

That's a bad decision. You cannot underestimate the Warriors, even without Curry, as long as they are playing at home. They have a very impressive home record, and that's the venue where Thompson's shooting is very efficient. The game was close overall, but the Warriors managed to win and cover the betting spread.

Yup! They might not let him play at all this is for the future of the team, and it is a good thing that they are in the 2nd position in the standing the Bucks can slack off a bit but I think they are not doing it right now and because of their great performance so far, the Milwaukee Bucks are in the safer zone, but the more crucial thing that the Bucks would need to think of was the future of their play-offs because they are a likely candidate to take the championship,

Now here are the result of my picks for games today, and I was really lucky about it,

Milwaukee Bucks VS Phoenix Suns SCORE 104 - 101 - WIN

It was really a close game but the Milwaukee Bucks did a great job in keeping the lead, and right now that Giannis Antetokoumpo is out and surely needs a rest every player of the Bucks would need to step up and do what they can while the Suns will need to take this opportunity to get this Bucks disadvantage but they did not Khris Middleton has a double-double of 10 rebounds and 11 points, Brook Lopez has a double-double aswell of 13 rebounds and 22 points and Jrue Holiday got 33 points,

Atlanta Hawks VS Brooklyn Nets SCORE 129 - 127 - WIN

The game was really close but the Atlanta Hawks started the game with a bang and lead it big in the 1st half the Brooklyn Nets didn't capitalize on engaging a great game and kept the pace as it was, and yeah it was a great game to watch as Cam Thomas is learning to have chemistry with his team, but still, the Hawks win the game, Bogdan Bogdanovic got 22 points, Dejounte Murray got 28 points and Trae Young got 34 points,

Dallas Mavericks VS Los Angeles Lakers SCORE 108 - 111 - WIN

Surely the Lakers don't really need Kyrie Irving as every fan of the Lakers would want, right now they have a strong team, and like I have said if Lebron James and Anthony Davis can not play for the Lakers I would go with the Mavericks but it is a good thing that they played even though D'Angelo Russell did not play, Dennis Schroder got 16 points, Lebron James got 26 points and Anthony Davis got a double-double of 15 rebounds and 30 points,

Golden State Warriors VS Minnesota Timberwolves SCORE 109 - 104 - WIN

The Golden State Warriors got a pretty much decent read and Klay Thompson has fired up this time, Jordan Poole got 15 points, Donte DiVincenzo is really a great grab for the Warriors he got 21 points, and the man of the night, Klay Thompson, got 32 points,

There's a chance that he might not play in the remaining games for the regular season because of that injury, and just by seeing how the Bucks are playing without him, I guess they will just let him rest and recover from that injury instead of risking him and let him play. I mean the Bucks are still playing very well even without Giannis. We know that injuries play a big role when it comes to playoffs.

I guess I just underestimated the Warriors with this one. I put my bet on the Twolves on this game, and I regret it (a bit). Klay doing some Klay things, and all of their starters are in double figures.

As for the Nuggets-Clippers, the Nuggets bounced back after that humiliating loss against the Grizzlies while the Clippers suffered their 2nd straight loss. Jokic again had a 40 point triple double and still, the Nuggets are undefeated when he is having a triple double. Another MVP for him? I mean I would love to see him winning the MVP again for the 3rd straight time. When was the last time this happen? 80's with Larry Bird.

The results of my bets.
Anyway, here are my picks for tomorrow's ballgame:

Dallas Mavericks - Los Angeles Lakers - Dallas Mavericks @ 1.60 - Loss
- No comment on this one. They're just one of the worst defensive teams right now in the league, and how they can compete on the playoffs if they are playing like this. Having Kyrie and Luka isn't enough for the team to win. They need defense still.

Chicago Bulls - Washington Wizards - Chicago Bulls @ 1.57 - Win
- This is an easy one I think. With Porzingis not playing, I expect the Bulls to win on this one. They are playing better now with DeRozan back, and having Beverley on the roster might boost the confidence of the whole team.

Golden State Warriors - Minnesota Timberwolves - Minnesota Timberwolves @ 2.12 - Loss
- I underestimated the Warriors on this one that's why I lost.

It was a close game but the Bucks still manage to win and we are really right they can handle themselves without Giannis Antetokounmpo, while the Suns can surely win this because Antetokounmpo was not on the team but they failed miserably, taking a good spread but Jrue Holiday throw 33 points and lead the team to victory,

I surely think that Giannis Antetokoumpo needs to relax more, even though they would lost a couple of games they are still deep up the standings, and not play a game even if its a couple of minutes because it could be bad for his injuries,


And pretty much you are right about it, and I really think that Giannis needs time to rest and not play a couple of minutes in the game with an injured hand it could be bad if it gets worse and he can not play for the Play-offs of worst even the finals, and yeah they are in a secure spot where they don't need to worry anymore but still if they can get a win a winning game is certainly still needed,

2 games with the same outcome. Love is trying and the rest of the team is working on him,

I also believe that once they've found the right blend, they will start to win games.  It's not easy since the next round
is quickly approaching and most teams are eager in winning games, better for Heat to adjust and find the right combinations.


It turned to the other side, AD and LeBron lead the Lakers to win the game, very competitive performances from both sides
but in the end tight defense and a good look at the basket gives them the win.

I only bet one game last night as I was sort on bad losing streak.

Sacramento Kings vs OKC -3.5 @1.84 and it's good that the Kings has enough left in the tank to cover the handicapped.

Warriors coming from behind to win against the T'Wolves, Klay Thompson carrying the team again with 32 big points. Nuggets coming back from a big lost against the Memphis and beat the Clippers in OT.
