∆ J. Holiday 5+ assists / M. Bridges 18+ points / Bucks ML @1.66 ∆   X

Nets waving the white flag before the game has even started. I kind of understand them though, resting four important players when you have three games in three days...i thought the NBA got rid of that shit years ago, especially at the back end of the season that's ridiculously tight schedule, asking for players to get injured.

Anyway, i've got Bridges again who is basically the only one not getting a rest from Brooklyn. He is likely to see north of 20fgs with all those players missing and at least 30mins of action regardless of what the score is. He scored 31 vs. Bucks just over a week ago with everyone playing, i don't see why he can't match that today. I hope Holiday can get at least 5 assists, he is averaging 7+ on the year and covered the line in 7/L7.

Maybe the fatigue got them that's why they lost.
They have lots of isolation on the 3rd quarter as well, and that isn't the Nuggets was. We know Jokic as a passer and this team is heavily driven by ball movements. Maybe that affected them as well aside from the fatigue factor, but it is what it is. Have some rest for them as well before their next game.

---

Anyway, I only bet on 2 teams before the games for some reasons, but I might put bets during the games. Here are mine.
Sacramento Kings - New York Knicks - New York Knicks @ 2.15
- I know it's frustrating to see the winning streak of the Knicks ended by just some low seeded team, that's why they might be more hungry to win on this one, but they will face a tough opponent in Kings and on their home as well. Still, I went for the Knicks on this one.

Memphis Grizzlies - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors @ 1.72
- I'll definitely watch this one. The Warriors might have the 3rd worse road record of a defending champion in NBA history, but we know the beef between these 2 teams. Warriors want to show to Dillon "Dynasty" Brooks what really a dynasty is. The Grizzlies don't have Adams as well because of his injury, and Clarke obviously will not return. I put my bet on the Warriors on this one.

Good luck.

Memphis Grizzlies vs Golden State Warriors
The Golden State Warriors (34-32) will visit the Memphis Grizzlies (38-26) tonight at FedExForum. The Grizzlies are wonderful at home with a record of 26-5 while the Warriors are terrible at the road with 7-25 away record. But without Ja Morant and Steven Adams, I do not think they can defend their home this time.
Warriors key injuries: Gary Payton II (hip) out, Andrew Wiggins (personal) out
Grizzlies key injuries: Steven Adams (knee) out, Brandon Clarke (Achilles) out, Ja Morant (personal) out


Sacramento Kings vs New York Knicks
The New York Knicks (39-28) will visit the Sacramento Kings (38-26) tonight at Golden 1 Center. Brunson is still questionable to play so I will take the Kings to win this game. This might be different if Brunson will be able to play since the Knicks are great on the road.
Knicks key injuries: Jalen Brunson (foot) questionable

Here are my picks for today's game

Orlando Magic VS Utah Jazz

The Stake odds for this game are 1.60 for the Magic and 2.41 for the Jazz, right now Wendell Carter Jr. can not play for Orlando Magic, while Jordan Clarkson and Jordan Clarkson can not play for the Jazz, for this game I think the Magic can make a win now that Sexton and Clarkson can not play for the Jazz, this will be a hard game for them if these two would not make it to play, so my pick is the Orlando Magic,

Detroit Pistons VS Charlotte Hornets

The stake odds for this game are 2.43 for the Pistons and 1.59 for the Hornets, Right now Isaiah Stewart, Alec Burks, Bojan Bogdanovic, and Hamidou Diallo can not play for the Pistons, and Killian Hayes and Jalen Duren is doubtful they can play for the Pistons, while Cody Martin, can not play for the Hornets, while LaMelo Ball is out of the season, for this game because of that many injuries for the Pistons, even though LaMelo Ball is out for the season I am going with the Charlotte Hornets, because of the doubtful situation of the Pistons,

Memphis Grizzlies VS Golden State Warriors

The stake odds for this game are 2.19 for the Grizzlies, and 1.72 for the Warriors, Right now the Grizzlies are sinking, and Steven Adams, Ja "The Gun" Morant, and Vince Williams Jr. can not play for the Grizzlies, Jake LaRavia is doubtful if he can play for the Grizzlies while Gary Payton II, Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga can not play for the Warriors, Andre Iguodala, and Kevon Looney is doubtful if they can play for the Warriors, for this even though they don't have Kuminga, Wiggins and Payton II they still have Jordan Poole, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson, and Stephen Curry as the 1st line up they need, and in the recent, the processing play for Patrick Baldwin Jr. is really great addition for the Warriors, so my pick is the Golden State Warriors,

Sacramento Kings VS New York Knicks

The stake odds for this game are 1.77 for the Kings and 2.11 for the Knicks, Right now there are no Injuries for the Kings, while Jalen Brunson, DaQuan Jeffries, and Duane Washington Jr. are doubtful if they can play for the Knicks, for this game the Kings is doing pretty much well, while the Knicks aswell, but if Jalen Brunson is not is his 100% then I am really doubtful for the Knicks this could be a close match but my pick is the Sacramento Kings,

Yeah, probably it's the worst game that I have seen with the Nuggets, And I will say that it is totally unexpected, but that's basketball for us. Same with the Dallas lost, Luka limps, get out of the court but then the Mavs close the game and I thought that they have a good chance to win the game because they are hitting their outside shots and they still have Irving really pushing the ball and penetrating. But then CJ, oh man, he was unstoppable, 2 three points and a good jumpshot is enough to stop Dallas in their tracks.

So try my luck with the Bucks vs Nets, - Milwaukee -9.5 @1.95.

And then Golden State vs Memphis - still no Ja Morant -3.5 @2.02.

Congrats! mate all your picks have won, it was really a great game the Atlanta Hawks have a good start in the 1st quarter but then the Wizards just made efforts in the 2nd quarter with their pace, yes even though it was a close game the Hawks manage to win,

While the Miami Heat have a decent start but struggle in the 2nd half, surely the Cleveland Cavaliers have made a great spread, and because the Heat just got 3 or 4 players to manage to spread their score with that while the Cavaliers surely are playing superb here that they win the match,

---

Here are the result of my picks for yesterday's games, Well I was really happy with the results making a great win with the close game while the Mavericks that I think will win against the Pelicans that have their main players injured while Luka Doncic isn't much with this game, but it was really weird and it is a good thing I am not betting for a parley,

Washington Wizards VS Atlanta Hawks SCORE 120 - 122 - WIN

Miami Heat VS Cleveland Cavaliers SCORE 100 - 104 - WIN

New Orleans Pelicans VS Dallas Mavericks SCORE 113 - 106 - LOST

Los Angeles Clippers VS Toronto Raptors SCORE 108 - 100 - WIN

Yeah, thankfully he didn't.
That is what confuses me, they are on the top, Coach Malone could've just restricted the minutes of both his stars and let the bench play the home game. It's not like the fans will be expecting too much from them to win the game because they are at the top of the West and most likely end up the number 1 seed in the playoffs.
Rest them well before it becomes another injury.
I am locked on that bet too. -4.5 for me. Good luck to us.

6 games today.
Milwaukee Bucks - Brooklyn Nets - Milwaukee Bucks (-9.5) - I almost made a mistake betting for the Nets +10.5 after seeing Giannis being benched today. But after checking the injury reports of the Nets, it made me change my mind. Dinwiddie, Johnson, Simmons, Claxton, O'Neale are all out.
Sacramento Kings - New York Knicks - Sacramento Kings (-1.5) Kings all the way! Light the beam!  Brunson is questionable status, game-time decision maybe.

My picks for tonight.

Memphis Grizzlies vs Golden State Warriors (-3.5) = Golden State Warriors Win 1,98 Odds.

Milwaukee Bucks (-2.5) vs Brooklyn Nets = First Quarter Win 1,74 Odds.

Good luck guys.

I think Pacers will win, even though they are not awesome neither, Rockets are tanking right now so there is no way they could win unless something unexpected happens, but rest of the games look a bit worrying.

Like Nets vs Bucks, I think Bucks will win and they are much better team but Nets are a team that doesn't have anything to prove, so they are playing wild and sometimes they lose by a big margin, because lets face it they are actually pretty bad, but sometimes they play their best games and win easily as well, I would still wager on Bucks though, they a very good. Grizz vs Warriors, while Memphis looks ahead, Ja is out because he is an idiot, so Warriors could also win this one.

What happened in the Hawks vs Wizards game makes me a little frustrated about the outcome because they just let Porzingis do his thing and have a deep three shot without guarding him intentionally because they didn't care at all even if that shot will go through or not as they will still win at the end of the regulation. Hawks won the game but the spread wasn't covered before of that shot

And then there's the Dallas Mavericks being defeated because McCollum's hands was so hot and can do a three point shot everywhere and the Mavericks cannot keep up at even if Irving can answer it sometimes. The game could've got a different outcome though if Luka played in the 4th quarter but the sore in his thigh became severe in the 2nd quarter which is why he needed to be in the sidelines.

The most unexpected game was the Nuggets vs Bulls where the latter defeated the home team.

I'm leaning the other way.  GS stink on the road.  Gonna take the Grizzlies-2.5  at home and taking knicks +2 on the road.  They are one of the best road teams this year think this matchup works well.

Then I like 2 other home teams.  Give me orlando -3 at home tonight.

And last gimme the Bucks -9.5 against the Nets.  My darkhorse to dropped completely out of even the playin!

The Golden State Warriors got more edge in this game because their main line-up is healthy and alive especially the Big Three, Wiggins and GP2 might not play in the game as of now but they can still manage against the Grizzlies who are missing a lot of their key players especially in their defense capabilities as well as their offense as Clarke and Adams are still ruled out. GSW -2.5 is reasonable enough.

As a matter of fact, I got them on my list for the games later.
Warriors -2.5 vs Grizzlies
Kings -2 vs Knicks
Hornets -3.5 vs Pistons

Indeed! With the adjustments that they made now they are starting back in winning games, Placing Westbrook to the 2nd unit and
let the core players to take over for the final minutes gives them higher chance of winning.

PG and Leonard doing the damage that's really something that bring them to another win, congrats to those who take them ML is decent enough to enjoy.

Oh well , it turned out to be another lost bet but I really didn't expect Mavs to lose Pelicans and I also didn't expect Bulls to win in Denver... so yea , maybe tonight I will pick more carefully but I stick to my point that NBA without a proper defense , it's hard to ream some teams and for that , it's hard to place "safety" bets.

What do you all think about the Warriors vs. Memphis game tomorrow?

Both teams are on a losing streak, and Morant is still not going to play due to an indefinite suspension. Therefore, I believe the Warriors have the edge to win the game. Although these two teams are rivals and love to play against each other, the Grizzlies missing their best player is a significant disadvantage in my opinion.

Therefore, I would bet on GSW -2.5

The right thing to do, just like what the Lakers did with him, was to put him in the second unit as it improved their chances of winning in every game. So I guess it's better that way. It's a good thing they acted fast, otherwise, their playoff spot would have been at risk.

Well the good thing is that, Jokic didn't get a triple double on that game against the Bulls because if he is, his record will be broken. This season, I think the team is 22-0 when he has a triple-double stats. Maybe he doesn't want to break that streak this season.

Nuggets scored only 96 points. The lowest that they have this season on their home. The game was close until the 2nd half, and particularly in the 3rd quarter, and after that, the Bulls never looked back and snapped the 9 game home win streak. On the other hand, the Nuggets are still on the top of the standings by a huge margin. Bulls got the victory on the road and as for Lavine, he got his 11,000th point on this game. Congratulations to him.

As for the Mavericks, their poor communication is the reason why they are very awful on defense. They traded their best wing defender for an offensive player which is kind of decent when it comes to defense. The problem with them as well is that, they didn't get any defensive players during the trade deadline. Anyway, they lost and I hope Luka will be able to play in their next game, and hope his injury is just a minor one.

The results of my bets:
Washington Wizards - Atlanta Hawks - Washington Wizards @ 2.23 - LOST
- The game was really close until the crucial minutes of the game, and then Beal made a costly turnover that eventually cost them the game.
Miami Heat - Cleveland Cavaliers - Cleveland Cavaliers @ 1.78 - WIN
- I have this feeling from the start the the Cavaliers can steal this one on the road knowing how inconsistent the Heat are and they really are, though it wasn't an easy one.
New Orleans Pelicans - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks @ 1.74 - LOST
- Poor communication, lack of defense. That's the reason why the lead of Pelicans ballooned to double-digits in the first half and the fact that Luka got injured increased their chance of losing. Lost with this one.
Los Angeles Clippers - Toronto Raptors - Los Angeles Clippers @ 1.72 - WIN
- Kawhi and PG lead the Clippers with a total of 47 points. I think it's good that the Clippers are limiting Westbrook's time and if you watched that game, they didn't let Westbrook play in the final minutes of the game because they knew that he is very bad in decision making especially in crucial times. Anyway, got the win.

Crazy and bad.
First, Jokic went crazy at trying to be Steph Curry, and then an off night for Jamal Murray.
On the Mavs' side, Luka Doncic exits with an injured thigh, reports say it may not be a good one. Let's just wish it's not a torn ligament or something like that. It would be bad for their team aiming for the playoffs.

Results:
Washington Wizards - Atlanta Hawks - Atlanta Hawks (-4.5) - Loss. Hawks did not cover, Wizards made a run at the last minutes of the game. IIRC, the highest lead was 6 but didn't go further.
Miami Heat - Cleveland Cavaliers - Cleveland Cavaliers (-3.5) - Won! Wow! The spread covered just exactly what I needed. Cavs won by 4 points.
New Orleans Pelicans - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks (-3.5) - Loss.
Denver Nuggets - Chicago Bulls - Denver Nuggets (-8.5) - Loss. Even my Over 227.5 did not cover. The lowest was Over 223.5 when I checked it yesterday, even if I picked that, it won't hit either. The offensive power of the Nuggets was not seen in this game tonight. Perhaps, they need rest.

A quite crazy night for bettors, only Atlanta Hawks were able to cover the -1.5 spread, Dallas Mavericks lost the game to Pelicans although, Luka Doncic had to exit the game midway with what seemed like a thigh injury, I hope it doesn't he's not out for too long because the Dallas Mavericks needs every help they can get right now.

in Denver it was very close bucket for bucket game, until about midway into the 3rd Quarter, in-form Zach Lavine and Nikola Vucevic were highly instrumental for the Chicago Bull winning the game as +7 points underdog.

Bets of mine for today's games.

Washington Wizards - Atlanta Hawks - Washington Wizards @ 2.23
- I think that the Wizards can defend their home against the visiting Hawks. Atlanta are 14-20 on the road while Washington is 15-15. The Hawks needed to win on this because if they don't, they will drop to 9th or even 10th seed, but still having a new coach means having a new playstyle, and that affects the players in terms of how they are currently playing, so I'm betting on the Wizards.

Miami Heat - Cleveland Cavaliers - Cleveland Cavaliers @ 1.78
- I guess the Cavaliers have the pieces to win on this one on the road against the Heat. They only have a 13-19 road record, but the come-from-behind win against the Celtics might boost the morale of the team coming into this game that's why I put my bet on them.

New Orleans Pelicans - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks @ 1.74
- The Mavericks might have some struggles on defense, but the Pelicans are struggling since Zion got injured. From the top seeded team all the way to currently 10th. They're like the Nets when KD got injured where they're standings are just a freefall. I believe the Mavericks will win on this one.

Los Angeles Clippers - Toronto Raptors - Los Angeles Clippers @ 1.72
- With their win on their last game and with Zubac coming back, I think the Clippers have the pieces to win this one. I don't believe in Westbrook being a curse whatsoever. The Raptors also only got a 12-21 record which is kind of bad for me.

Good Luck to all bettors.
