3-1 last night not bad, 2 winning nights in a row, let's go for the triple.  Tonight I got 3 games I'm checking out:

Knicks -3.5 at home, on a good roll they keep it going here with a win in the garden

Memphis -2.5, tough game but at home 1st and 2nd place team I think the Grizzlies take this personal and go all out.  Gimme the home team Grizzlies here

And last Philly +1.5 at home vs Celtics.  Another great game gimme the home team and Philly here.

Good luck to everyone tonight!

Nobody in the present roster now is with the Cavs 2016, Kevin Love was the last man standing but now he is having a new journey with the Miami Heat. Looking forward to see him scoring this time.

And about the Hornets vs Wolves game earlier, you are not alone my friend because my parlay was also destroyed because of that. Nobody saw it coming that LaMelo Ball will explode with a double-double and then he had Hayward who was helping him to bring another win to make it a 3-game win streak. Not bad, I reckon MJ is so happy about it but I doubt they can mimic their performance later against the Miami Heat.

Back to the thread topic, here's my bets for the games later.

Miami Heat -4.5
Denver Nuggets ML
Boston Celtics -1.5

Just 1/2 for me, the Warriors did manage to win in double digits, while Wizards was just good for the first 2 quarters, hehehe.

Raptors vs Detroit - Raptors -6.5 @1.84
Nuggets vs Memphis - Nuggets 2.5 @1.94

It seems that the Suns wasn't the only team that is on the campaign to have the championship this year, I mean, just look at the improvement of their roster. The fact that they aren't relying on Giannis now makes them more dangerous as Giannis can now move freely without thinking too much about their defense as they already got some of their guys for that job who is indeed reliable.

My apologies, but I still can't move on from this game.
I mean this kind of scoring might happen again a few years from now. We are in an era where we are focusing more on offense, but to see a game that has a score of that high? 7 of the top 11 highest scoring games happened in the 80's and 90's and only 4 happened in the 2000's

Anyway, it's a good comeback for the Kings after trailing double digits much of the 2nd half. There was a time in the final quarter where the Clippers had 5 turnovers in their last 6 possessions. Even coach Ty Lue is frustrated and you can see it in his eyes if the camera is faced with him. Monk really is the best player on this one. He shot the three-point shot to tie the game and send to overtime, shot threes in the overtime and throw a dunk over Batum. He also made 45 points off the bench as well.

I don't know if this is official, but the Kings and the Clippers made another record as well. They're the 2nd highest three points made (tied) by both teams in NBA history with 44 threes made. The record is 49 three pointers.

1/3. Man, I saw the Clippers handled it well with an 8 point advantage and they just let it go.
I know the Kings, they are good at crucial games but I had forgotten about how bad the Clippers are at closing games. The double overtime made a lot of difference when WB was fouled out and so do Sabonis for the Kings.
I should've taken the Kings all the way and the beam being lighted.  It's cool.

7 games tomorrow. We have 1 super early game. Pistons vs Raptors. I will take the Raptors -5.5.
and...
Charlotte Hornets - Miami Heat - Miami Heat (-3.5)
Orlando Magic - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers ML
New York Knicks - New Orleans Pelicans - New York Knicks (-1.5)

Here are the result of my picks on today's games

Atlanta Hawks VS Cleveland Cavaliers SCORE 136 - 119 - LOST

The Atlanta Hawks really are something and Trae Young just fired up out of nowhere I really thought that the Cavaliers could get this one, Darius Garland did an awesome job in making the Cleveland keep up to the Hawks because Donovan Mitchell is not in his 100% Saddiq Bey got 19 points, Dejounte Murray got 25 points and Trae Young got 34 points winning the game against the Cavaliers,

Milwaukee Bucks VS Miami Heat SCORE 128 - 99 - WIN

Giannis Antetokounmpo played 6 mins making 4 rebounds 4 assists and 4 points then seated down because of his injury he is still recuperating, but surely even without Giannis the Milwaukee Bucks hang on and even won the game, they surely got a great spread to win the game, Brook Lopez got 17 points, Bobby Portis has a double-double of 11 rebounds and 18 points and Jrue Holiday got 24 points,

Chicago Bulls VS Brooklyn Nets SCORE 131 - 87 - WIN

Pretty much from start to finish the Chicago Bulls is truly leading the game, and Cam Thomas doesn't make 40 points this time, weird how the Bulls exposes Cam Thomas from their 1st meeting against the Bulls he is just scoring 20 plus points, Nikola Vucevic and Andre Drummond both has a double-double of 10 rebound and 13 points, exactly the same, Patrick Williams and DeMar DeRozan both got 17 points and Zach LeVine got 32 points, winning the game against the Nets,

Los Angeles Clippers VS Sacramento Kings SCORE 175 - 176 - LOST

This was a clear close game, that turns into a double OT win for the Sacramento Kings with just 1 point, and I will point this out here Kawhi Leonard is amazing here with 44 points, truly I don't want to see him getting injured again, we all know that both teams have made their all in winning but the Kings really is lucky in winning this agonizing game, Domantas Sabonis has a double-double of 10 rebounds and 20 points, De'Aaron Fox got a double-double of 12 assist and 42 points and Malik Monk got 45 points,

That's for sure, I don't expect Love to remain scoreless again. In the Heat vs. Hornets game, I think I'll be putting my bet on the Heat, as they're coming off a big loss. Therefore, it's expected that they will bounce back. It's still a road game for them, but the Hornets are not a really good team, so I'll stick with my belief that the Hornets will not ruin our parlay bet this time.

No, it was just one game. I'm sure they'll get over it whatever they are feeling right now as they are a good team this season. They have a leader in Mitchell, and although he has failed many times in the playoffs, who knows, he might win a championship with the Cavaliers.

I'm just lucky I stayed away from this game, and even luckier because I won my bet on the Knicks. All the while, I was cheering for the Wizards to win, thinking I bet on them, but I was surprised to have a win because my actual bet was on the Knicks. The Wizards could have won that game if they didn't give up their huge lead.

Apparently, that Cavaliers team that was champion in 2016 literally disintegrated with the Kevin Love exit.

By the way, you guys are not alone, I confess... the Hornets also spoiled my bets.

Soon, we will have the game between Heat and Hornets, I believe it will be an interesting game, and mainly, let's see if Love will score his first points for the Miami Heat.

I was shocked watching the games between the Hawks against the Cavaliers and I was really saying goodbye to my bets, after seeing the score, but surely Trae Young seems pretty much fired up from playing against the Cavaliers in this game, and I know that the Cleveland Cavaliers is a great team for sure but seeing that lead really was a shocker, and on the Bulls against the Nets, it is good that Patrick Beverly is showing great performance as the team's leader and winding up on the Bulls is a good drive for him to set a good career even though he only got 8 points setting up the play was Beverly's play,


At 1st I only think that the Milwaukee Bucks are no good without Giannis Antetoukoumpo but apparently, they are changing and improving I really think that if this keeps up without their main man the Milwaukee Bucks can pull through going to the playoffs but they need to learn to play imminently without their main man on the team,

The Kings against the Clippers was a pretty much close game but actually, both teams were doing great in the 1st half in the 3rd quarter, the Clippers are leading with a great play from Kawhi Leonard, but it was so sudden when the Kings return the favor and chipping that lead down, for me the Los Angeles Clippers could have won this but after that great lead they are slacking off on some point and so the Sacramento Kings would just take over but it was really a close game, this loss could be the curse of the WestBrick, (I'm just joking) it was the 2nd OT and both teams can not handles it anymore,

Anyone still watching the Clippers vs Sacramento?

Double OT, Clippers leading in the 4th quarter but then Sacramento came back and force OT the first time.

Lucky for those who beat on the over, as the game was 176-175 score, huge scores.

Spoiled Westbrook playing with the Clippers.

The Hornets spoiled my parlay for the night. Bad news for the Bucks as well as Giannis left the game with a knee injury. They were able to get the win though. Warriors and Suns also took home wins with the end of the Suns game getting pretty chippy between players as Chris Paul did his annoying thing.

Was nice to see Kevin Love playing for the Heat but he missed all his shots so his first point for the Heat will have to wait.

Yes, they don't rely too much on Giannis now. They are following a system that has resulted in a balanced offense and defense. Jae Crowder was a big steal for the Bucks, as he is an all-around player, a good 3-point shooter, and a good defender as well. The Bucks are not short of players who can contribute, especially in the playoffs.

I don't know if it's only me, but I was surprised to see when I'm browsing the scores in the official NBA website.

At one point, the Hawks lead as many as 30+ points against the Cavaliers while the Nets are down more than 40 points against the Bulls. I mean the Cavaliers are one of the top teams while the Nets are still a great team with their new roster, and it's understandable if they will lose in tonight's game, but to lost and having your opponent lead as high as 25 or even 30 is something that I'm surprised (until now). As for the Bulls, it seems like we're seeing the effect of Pat Bev on the court. TBH, I see him as a good leader on the court and I saw it when he's in the Timberwolves. He just can't do it on the Lakers because they have Lebron as their leader. Pat Bev effect??

Giannis only played for 6 mins because of his right hand injury, but still they manage to win against the Heat by almost 30 points.

This is what's good with the Bucks. They're very balanced that even their one superstar player is out, they still have players that can step up offensively and take the game. This time, all of them contributed on offense as 6 players are in double digits. It's good to see Crowder back as well scoring 9 points. 3/3 for you so far. Let's watch the Kings vs. Clippers.

We are on the same team, but my bet was on the Clippers -7. I had odds of 2.00, and I think they can cover the spread, although the Kings are really a good team. By the way, Westbrook will debut here, so I am also curious to see how he will play. Hopefully, he will not mess up.

The Warriors might cover the spread as they are in control from the start.

I forgot to share my picks yesterday.
Anyway, there are still 3 games that have not started yet so I'll just focus my picks on the upcoming games.

Golden State Warriors - Houston Rockets - Golden State Warriors (-8.5) - Draymond Green is questionable and Andrew Wiggins is out. I think Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole could still handle the Rockets.

Phoenix Suns - Oklahoma City Thunder - Phoenix Suns (-10.5) No Kevin Durant yet, he will be playing on March 1 as his debut game with the Suns.
I want to see Booker back on his normal offensive monster after a long break. Perhaps we will see it today.

Los Angeles Clippers - Sacramento Kings - Los Angeles Clippers (-4.5) - No "Kings all the way" today.  Sorry Kings, this is a different Clippers team and they got stronger.

Well, just for me, not a profitable bet because the odds for stake.com was so high so I went with the other games, but good luck on us and may your pick really prosper, because I really think this is a sure win for the Golden State Warriors because the Rockets is not that much of a threat and the Warriors badly needed this win, at least until Stephen Curry has able to play again,

Here is my pick for today's game

Atlanta Hawks VS Cleveland Cavaliers

The stake odds for this game are 1.90 for the Hawks and 1.95 for the Cavaliers, Right now John Collins can not play for the Hawks because of a Concussion while Cedi Osman is doubtful if he's going to play, for this game last game this two teams played was back on November 22, and the Cavaliers won the game and both teams don't change so much because of the trades so my pick will be the underdog Cleveland Cavaliers,

Milwaukee Bucks VS Miami Heat

The stake odds for this game are 1.50 for the Bucks and 2.70 for the Heat, Right now Pat Connaughton and Wesley Matthews can not play for the Bucks and Giannis Antetokounmpo is doubtful if he's going to play, for the game today, while Nikola Jovic, Omer Yurtseven, and Kyle Lowry all can not play because of injuries, so for this game now if Giannis Antetokounmpo can not play for this game and the Heat now has Kevin Love, but surely that hasn't changed a thing my pick will be the Milwaukee Bucks,

Chicago Bulls VS Brooklyn Nets

The stake odds for this game are 1.78 for the Bulls and 2.09 for the Nets, right now Lonzo Ball is out of the season, and Goran Dragic and Javonte Green can not play because of their injuries, while Ben Simmons is doubtful if they can play for the team, for this game after Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant Leave the team it is up to Cameron Thomas to lead it, but it was not enough because even though he is scoring 40 points per game he needs to make a team play and making chemistry with the team and because he is not a solo team, for me I am going with the Chicago Bulls,

Los Angeles Clippers VS Sacramento Kings

The stake odds for this game are 1.36 for the Clippers and 3.25 for the Kings, right now Ivica Zubac can not play for the Clippers while KZ Okpala can not play for the Kings, and now that WestBrick is in the Los Angeles Clippers I really don't know but Russell seems to play decently and has team coordination but surely it was not enough but let's just see because I am going to bet for the LA Clippers this time,

Ok so let's see if I will bounce or not,

Golden State vs Rockets - GSW here, at least they needed a good win and what better way to do it at home, with thousands of screaming fans, -9.5 @1.95.
Knicks vs Wizards - I'll lay on the Wizards at home, it's going to be very difficult, but taking the risk, Wizards -1.5. @1.96.

Goodluck to all of us!!!

Here are the results for the games Yesterday,

Cleveland Cavaliers VS Denver Nuggets SCORE 109 - 115 - WIN

The Denver Nuggets really give their all in this match 1st was a close game but the Nuggets just bust their move on and get the lead the Denver Nuggets got a good spread with the score every player are giving their all not just Jokic but pretty much has a beautiful spread, Jamal Murray got 16 points Kentavious Caldwell-Pope got 17 points, Nikola Jokic had a triple-double of 18 rebounds 13 assists, and 24 points, and lastly Michael Porter Jr. got 25 points,

Toronto Raptors VS New Orleans Pelicans SCORE 115 - 110 - WIN

The Toronto Raptors really are quite great from start to finish they are still in the lead, and because of the many injuries the Pelicans have they surely expose them so much, but it was really a close game in the 2nd half but the Raptors still manage to win, Both Scottie Barnes and Gary Trent Jr. got 18 points, Jakob Poeltl has a double-double of 18 rebounds and 21 points and Pascal Siakam got 26 points,

Philadelphia 76ers VS Memphis Grizzlies SCORE 110 - 105 - WIN

The Grizzlies were on the lead in the 1st half but again the 76ers managed to sneak it to them, and pretty much James Harden has done a great job in this game, Tobias Harris got 20 points, Joel Embiid has a double-double of 19 rebounds, and 27 points and James Harden got 31 points,

Los Angeles Lakers VS Golden State Warriors SCORE 124 - 111 - LOST

It seems that the Warriors are having a difficult time with the Lakers now, and the Lakers got a beautiful spread the Only loss I have just because I don't want to bet on other teams but surely I really know that the Lakers could have won this, Lebron James and Dennis Schroder both got 13 points Rui Hachimura got 14 points, Austin Reaves got 17 points and Malik Beasley has 25 points,
