1/4. Ouch.
Indiana Pacers lost against the Orlando Magic.
Boston Celtics also lost against the Houston Rockets.  Jabari Smith showcased some good performance in this game.
Sacramento Kings also lost against the Milwaukee Bucks. Giannis did play although listed as questionable. 
And my only win was the Golden State Warriors against the Phoenix Suns. The first quarter's big lead for the Warriors improved their confidence and their chance to win. But if they started slow, I doubt they can win that match. It's not easy to battle a team like the Suns who had been great at perimeter shots. Thankfully, Thompson started hot and the finishing touches came from their roleplayers' defensive stance.

What was the moneyline odds for the Houston Rockets, by the way?

Well, I guess most of us would not bet on the Rockets, even with the handicap, as we know how strong the Boston Celtics are and how inconsistent the Houston Rockets can be. But on just one of those lucky days for the underdog team, it probably resulted in the majority of bettors losing money if they risked their money on the Boston Celtics to win and cover the spread.

Upset happens and lots of bettors for sure got fired out, especially those who added this game to the parlay. Unexpected things that happened
but we all know that it's just a part of it.

Congrats to anyone who take the Rockets today both ML and Handicap a good win for all those who take the risk betting for them.

Another day for every bettor, another result and another research to sort for more.

Having just those two teams on my betslip for last night's matches in the NBA saved me the fate of so many who picked the favorites to win their earlier played matches such as the Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers.
I placed my bets early on but avoided these scheduled matches because I just knew they were going to upset alot of accas.
And being in this context only chose these two teams to place my bet on you showed in your betslip and won the bet on the over points.
Sacramento Kings scored alot and the over 119.5pts I had hit and also the over on the Warriors vs Suns game easily hit the 232.5pts although they were projected to have 242.5pts by half time. But the final 3:45 minutes of the game was just garbage time with both teams subbing out their starting line up.

Anthony Davis is not himself, I don't know if the effect of the injury is getting into him or if he still needs rest, but because of his performance many are saying that he likely be needing some rest, and even though with D'Angelo Russell playing for the team it was not enough to clear the path to victory,

Here are the result for my picks on today's game, another 2/4 results,

Detroit Pistons VS Indiana Pacers SCORE 117 - 97 - LOST

Well, because Benedict Mathurin and Tyrese Haliburton can not play for the Pacers they likely have a hard time and struggle against the Pistons It was a risky chance that I have take but surely the Pacers couldn't win if those two of four don't play, and likely James Wiseman has already played for the Pistons, Eugene Omoruyi got 17 points James Wiseman has a double-double performance of 14 rebounds and 18 points Rodney McGruder got 18 points and Cory Joseph got 22 points,

Miami Heat VS Utah Jazz SCORE 119 - 115 - LOST

I really thought that the Jazz will likely be having a chance of winning because of the previous performance of Talen Horton-Tucker, but he doesn't do much, so Bam Adebayo got 16 points, Tyler Herro and Gabe Vincent both got 18 points and Jimmy Butler got 24 points winning against the jazz,

Golden State Warriors VS Phoenix Suns SCORE 123 - 112 - WIN

From start to finish the Golden State Warriors are likely leading the game they surely don't let this chance that Kevin Durant can not play for the team, slip, and dominates the Suns, with all they have, Jordan Poole got 20 points, Stephen Curry got 23 points and Klay Thompson the man of the night is pretty much firing up, with 38 points,

Sacramento Kings VS Milwaukee Bucks SCORE 124 - 133 - WIN

The Kings have given their all in winning against the Bucks but with no available success, and just like I have said Giannis Antetokoumpo played this game Brook Lopez got 23 points Khris Middleton got 31 points and Giannis Antetokoumpo has a double-double of 12 rebounds, and 46 points winning against the Kings,

Boston Celtics struggling losing 4 of their last 6 games. The good thing though is that their 4 losses are against teams above .500 except the Hawks and Rockets.
Denver Nuggets is also struggling currently losing 3 straight games, and 2 of these 3 losses are from teams that are below .500 (Bulls and Spurs).

Is there a problem with these 2 top teams right now? I mean losing is normal I get it, but losing to a low-seeded team? Well, maybe it wasn't their night to win. Give credits to the Rockets indeed because they defeated the Rockets thru their collective effort offensively. Martin Jr, Smith Jr, and Green combined for 72 of the total 111 points. They spoiled the 43 point game of Brown. Good game for both teams, but the question now is that, is there anybody here who put their bet on the Rockets before the game?

You've just gotta give these young Houston Rockets team huge credits for their win against the Boston Celtics and their stars, The chemistry between those young rookies were rock solid today, and you'd expect them to fold when the Celtics came calling back with a run of their own, I really have not seen them played so connected this well, although the Celtics can be said to have had a rough night, but I think such statement would only undermine the efforts of the Houston Rockets players because the win was well merited in my candid opinion.

I am certainly surprised that the NY Knicks have done as well as they have so far to this point in the season.  I'm certainly not shocked that they beat the Lakers yesterday, as you said it's no mistake.  Now of course the Lakers are without Lebron James at the moment, so it would have been a different game had he been playing, but I'm still impressed with the win from the Knicks.  As you know I'm a big Tom T fan, so I'm happy to see him having success in New York.

Golden State Warriors vs Phoenix Suns
The Golden State Warriors (35-33) will defend their home against the Phoenix Suns (37-30) tonight at Chase Center. The Warriors are the 4th best home record this season and should be able to defend their home against the Phoenix Suns.
Suns key injuries: Kevin Durant (ankle) out
Warriors key injuries: Draymond Green (ankle) probable, Andre Iguodala (hip) probable, Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) questionable, Andrew Wiggins (personal reasons) out

Sacramento Kings vs Milwaukee Bucks
The Sacramento Kings (40-26) will defend their home against the Milwaukee Bucks (48-19) tonight at Golden 1 Center. Giannis is still questionable this game and against the #2 in the west, it is tough to win against them on their home.
Bucks key injuries: Giannis Antetokounmpo (hand) questionable

I like the first two picks so I am tailing it.
Pacers -3.5
Celtics -10.5 only - Avoiding greed, the Rockets team could sometimes surprise us.
For the last pick though, I am going the other way. The Kings are at home with a healthy roster while Giannis is listed as questionable.
Kings ML @2.09 If ever Giannis will suddenly plays, I will add another if the odds change.
Also adding:
Golden State Warriors - Phoenix Suns - Golden State Warriors (-3.5) - Steph Curry has found his rhythm and they badly need some wins, especially at their home where they are known to have a great record.
Good luck everyone.

This was no mistake, the Knicks are just the better team.  People overvalued the Lakers because the team name and history but they are what their record says they are and that's a bottom of the league team.  Knicks should have and did win the game, not because the Lakers screwd up but because the better team won.  

Yeah mate, 0/2 for me, I did watch the Spurs vs OKC game in the 4th, I thought I have a chance to at least a 3.5 as they kept coming back. But at the beginning of the 4th, a missed easy lay-up and I say that my bet is over by that time.

The Knicks on the other hand, started very hot in the first quarter, Randle 18 points in the first alone. But the Lakers also made a good run and even was like 2 points down in the 4th. But tired legs I guess, they shouldn't allow the Knicks though with like a momentum throughout that game.

Right! If only they had the right mindset in that game, they could have end it with a W on their side. The way I see it, it was just an honest mistake but that same mistake was big enough to give the Knicks some advantage over them and as expected, the Knicks took that advantage to end their road games at LA with decent record as they defeated one of the two LA teams.

Later on, we will witness another good match-up and it'll be the Warriors versus Phoenix. For that, I got Warriors on my side.

Picks in for tonight.  Got them all in one big parlay 🙏

Pacers on the road -3.5. 
Golden state at home -4.5
Jazz on road +8
Atlanta at home -5.5
Rockets at home +13

And last I bet single game, Memphis -1 on the road in Dallas. Basically a toss up just wanted juice on the game so I can root for someone lol.

Good luck tonight everyone!

My picks for tonight.

Detroit Pistons vs Indiana Pacers (-3.5) = Indiana Pacers Win 1,86 Odds.

Houston Rockets vs Boston Celtics (-12.5) = Boston Celtics Win 1,90 Odds.

Sakramento Kings vs Milwaukee Bucks = Milwaukee Bucks Win 1,75 Odds.


Good luck guys.

Same here, wasn't expecting that to happen and AD did commit quite a lot of mistakes which is somehow important for their situation earlier, and because of that mistake, the team got a challenge in the last quarter and even with D'Angelo's contribution, it is not that enough to keep the team afloat and continue their steak. But if AD was performing well, I doubt if Randle can still do what he did earlier.

Anyway, it's pretty much time for us to bounce back.

Memphis Grizzlies -1.5 vs Dallas Mavericks
Phoenix Sus vs Golden State Warriors -4.5
Minnesota Timberwolves vs Atlanta Hawks -5.5

Yup! it was just an ordinary day anything can really happen and I thought I could get a big kickback because of the odds, but it was a loss well that is the risk of it, the Thrill and the challenge that I like, but as you have said we can bounce back again, so good luck to us, so this is my pick for tomorrows game,

Detroit Pistons VS Indiana Pacers

The stake odds for this game are 2.32 for the Pistons and 1.64 for the Pacers, right now Alec Burks, Bojan Bogdanovic, Marvin Bagley III, Jaden Ivey, Isaiah Stewart, and Hamidou Diallo, can not play for the Pistons, while Bennedict Mathurin, Myles Turner, T.J. McConnell, and Tyrese Haliburton can not play for the Pacers, and Buddy Hield is doubtful if he's going to play, for this game I think this is an easy win for the Pacers because of that much injuries for the Pacers, so my pick is the Indiana Pacers,

Miami Heat VS Utah Jazz

The stake odds for this game are 1.34 for the Heat and 3.40 for the Jazz, Right now Cody Zeller, can not play because of a Nose injury, and Kyle Lowry, Duncan Robinson, and Caleb Martin are doubtful they can play for the Heat, while Collin Sexton can not play for the Jazz, and Jordan Clarkson is doubtful if he's going to play for me because of Talen Horton-Tucker last play it was a very smooth win for the Jazz, and because of that my pick is the Jazz, I only wish it continues because I am risking it here,

Golden State Warriors VS Phoenix Suns

The stake odds for this game are 1.54 for the Warriors and 2.55 for the Phoenix, Right now Andrew Wiggins and Gary Payton II can not play for the Warriors, and Jonathan Kuminga, Draymond Green, and Andre Iguodala are all doubtful if they can play for the Warriors while Landry Shamet and Kevin Durant can not play for the Suns, for this game because Stephen Curry is here and Draymond Green might pop up to play for a while and because Kevin Durant is not around which is a real threat my pick is the Golden State Warriors,

Sacramento Kings VS Milwaukee Bucks

The stake odds for this game are 2.10 for the Kings and 1.77 for the Bucks, Right now the Kings don't have any injuries, while Wesley Matthews and Giannis Antetokounmpo are both doubtful if they can play for the Bucks and because of this my pick is the Bucks, well I think Giannis Antetokounmpo could surely be playing just a little this is the Kings they are playing so they surely need all the help they need, my pick is the Milwaukee Bucks,

Surely Davis wasn't on his usual performance earlier when they faced the Knicks, I don't know what's wrong with him because they are suppose to take advantage of the hand they have even if Lebron is not with them as the Knicks was also incomplete because Brunson wasn't there as well. Besides, they've got some fresher feet compared to the Knicks who had a 2-day road game at LA for facing the Clippers yesterday but again, that wasn't the case in the game earlier.

Just an ordinary day @YuginKadoya. We can bounce back tomorrow if we still bet on games.

I'm eyeing the Warriors -4.5 against the Suns at home. I'm following the trend, as they are exceptionally good at home. With a 28-7 home record and 23-11-1 ATS, I think that's enough to convince me that they will not only win but will also cover the spread.

Here are the result of my picks for games today well an utterly losing game for me,

Philadelphia 76ers VS Washington Wizards SCORE 112 - 93 - LOST

The 76ers are way ahead of the Washington Wizards I really thought that the Wizards could make win this time but because Joel Embiid and James Harden's efforts in closing in the gap in the 1st half and then finishing the Wizards in the 2nd half have proven that the 76ers are not the same team anymore or The Washington Wizards are not the same team anymore, Tobias Harris got 11 points, James Harden has a double-double of 14 assists and 18 points, and Joel Embiid got 34 points breaking the Wizards in this game,

Los Angeles Lakers VS New York Knicks SCORE 108 - 112 - LOST

Even with D'Angelo Russell gaining great momentum in this game Anthony Davis didn't deliver something big I thought that the Lakers could win this because of him, but sure enough, the game was still very close, but it was a great start for the Knicks that gave them the upper hand, Immanuel Quickley got 15 points, RJ Barrett got 30 points and Julius Randle got 33 points
