Congrats and you are right not to bet with Wizard and Wolves game as the game outcome is something that you'll be itchy in your head
if you are a fan of heavy favorite.
Less than 6 minutes of the game where a big turnaround happened. It was the wolves who's controlling the game but the aggressiveness
of Wizard brings them the win that they really needed, just can't believe that Wolves will let this thing happened in front of their home
fans, letting their opponents to outscored them in the last and very important quarter of the game.

Speaking of All-Stars, here is our tomorrow's game.

And here is the roster.

I was actually surprised Deron Williams will coach the other team of the Rising Stars. I am a big fan of his from Utah Jazz paired with AK47 to Brooklyn Nets, (with his crossovers mostly, watch his highlights, they are damn good) until he was just gone without a big issue. He just wants to spend more time with his family, that's it.
Looking at the roster he is coaching, I will definitely bet for his team. Wagner and Sengun might play this explosively. 
Team Joakim looks like a formidable team too unless Team Jason's roster which is mostly G-league players will show off with scouts watching on the sidelines.

Nice parlay! A 2-game parlay is good enough to hit a decent profit with 3.71 odds. I think choosing the Clippers was the right decision because they were due for a win, and you were correct; they won the game without any problems.

Let's talk about the upcoming All-Star Game. We can check the schedules here.

Finally I hit my picks for tonight's game, I stay away from the Wizards vs Timberwolves game and it was the right decision for me because I can't decide on that game.

Congrats to you as well almost perfect and for those who win tonight. At least we have a win before the All Star Break.

Congratulations bro, perfect night.
We almost lose there when Giannis was injured in the first quarter, I am glad the players left somehow got thru it. Brook Lopez ate something good before the game scoring 33 points.  
I hope you did bet for the Bucks because it's a W. Any spread you picked before the game started is covered.  

2/3
Not a bad end result before the All-Star break.
To all the winners' congratulations. Let's all enjoy the All-Star even though sometimes they get boring.  

Phew! That's quite a bet you got there mate, your early bets didn't go well as the Bulls was defeated, as well as the Wolves and Suns.

Personally, I did also bet on the Suns at the same handicap but unfortunately, the Big Three didn't explode as Booker fell short and CP3 only got 5 points for the team and that doesn't surprise me because this team is like a switch toggle in my perspective. But my Bucks -7 did go through as they defeated the home team, the Chicago Bulls.

Congratulations to all bettors out there who got a successful end on their bets. Let's get ready for the All-Star weekend.

The spread depends on the likelihood of a team winning. The Bucks are on a winning streak and good at dominating their opponents, so it's not surprising that the Bulls are heavy underdogs, and that +8 is actually very tempting if you still believe the Bulls have a chance of winning. Without DeRozan, it will be hard to win against a strong team like the Bucks.

Nice decision. The Bulls are not a bad team, but their inconsistency has caused bettors to lose money. After some good wins, they are now on a losing streak. I had thought the Bulls would make it to the playoffs, but the way they are playing now, I think this team has a problem and might miss the playoffs this season.

Although they are +8 at home, they still could not cover it.

Lol I’m beyond myself. The Bulls were up like 20 points around the half way mark, or something close to that, yet to only blow the game, once again, for their 5th straight loss. They just completely fell apart. What a joke.

Getting worked yet again tonight, but by the Milwaukee Bucks this time around. I didn’t put any money on this game, I think I’ll be betting against the Bulls going forward.

No time for Giannis to rest now. I don't expect for a player who has this "Mamba Mentality" to just rest if he knows he can play.
Middleton is the one who rested in this game because of right knee soreness. At the same time, Connaughton and Portis are ruled out as well.

I put my bet on the Suns on this one to win.
The Clippers are a very good team, and currently 5th in the West, but I believe that the Suns have players who have stepped up since the KD trade like Okogie and with Booker playing, I guess they will defend this one on their home. Let's not forget that 19 assists made by CP3.

---

Anyway, here are my bets for today. I tried to make a multi-bet on 2 teams and a single bet on one team. Good luck to all.

Suns had a press conference with newly recruited Kevin Durant this afternoon but since he is still injured, will sit out tonight's match up against the Clippers.

They are slight underdogs but am taking them to win with the over 221.5 pts.

Signing Ross earlier in the day must get them hyped up to win this match so they stay above LA Clippers(32-28) in the standings.

Last 3 games before the break gonna go on all the home teams!

Call me crazy but I got the bulls +8 at home.  Think they can back door cover here.

I like the Timberwolves at home -3.  Think after the break they turn it wlaround fully here.  When Kat comes back they are my dark horse.

And last gimme the Suns-1 at home against the Clippers.  Suns start theor run at the top of the league here.

Good luck everyone!!

My picks for tonight.

Chicago Bulls vs Milwaukee Bucks (-7.5) = Milwaukee Bucks Win 1,89 Odds.

Chicago Bulls vs Milwaukee Bucks (-2.5) = First Quarter Win 1,89 Odds.

Phoenix Suns vs Los Angeles Clippers = Phoenix Suns Win 1,88 Odds.

Good luck guys.

1/2 for me last night, not that bad, at least I still have some to continue to bet today, hehehe.

I wll also go with the Bucks -7.5 @1.95, it was reported that DeRozan is out in this game and so is Alex Caruso.
Suns vs Clippers - gonna be a good match up here, ML for Clippers for me, @1.93.

Parlay both my picks @3.71.

I see that most of us fell short with the Lakers vs Pelicans match-up as it was really unexpected that the Pelicans will be the losing team because the Lakers are quite on a middle of some messy situation right now. Anyway, that's normal as NBA is always unpredictable that is why it's funning betting on it.

Speaking of betting, the Suns are now the new favorite to win unlike earlier where it was the Clippers. Now I'm wondering what's the Suns ML earlier Suns -1.5 for me this time my friend but I will tail you with the Bucks -7. Quite risky but I think they can make it as Bulls is on the same situation as well.

We had the same bet here during live games but my mistake is I parlayed it with the Lakers vs Pelicans game total over 238.5. Long story short, it didn't hit.   Congratulations to you though.

We still have games later. The last three games before the All-Star break.

Chicago Bulls - Milwaukee Bucks - Milwaukee Bucks (-7.5) They will have a very long rest so I doubt they will rest Giannis even if they are on a safe seed in the East. It's just better if they could take the 1st seed. Well, they are just 2 games behind the Celtics so it can be done.
I wish this time my spread will be covered, unlike yesterday.

Minnesota Timberwolves - Washington Wizards - Minnesota Timberwolves (-5.5) With Conley around this team just got better and I bet they are also aiming for a sweet spot in the playoffs. They'd better win all their games to achieve that. Kuz is back for the Wizards but I doubt the Twolves will just give this one to them, especially on their turf.

Phoenix Suns - Los Angeles Clippers - Los Angeles Clippers (-4.5) @2.47 I've seen the Clippers play with their newly recruited players from the trade and they are better. More options for their defense and the new guys are not weak on the defensive end too. Normal Powell will sit this one.

Good luck everyone.

These 3 games tonight is games where somebody lead by a huge margin, but 2 of those teams got the victory like the Philly and the New York Knicks. I don't know what can I say about the Bulls since they blew out their huge lead in the first half. I mean I didn't expect that the Pacers will make a comeback "again", and I said again because they've been done it 3 times this season.

---

Anyway, here are the results for my bets.

Atlanta Hawks - New York Knicks = New York Knicks @ 2.38
- WIN. I guess I just felt that they will one on the road, so I put my bet on them. Got the momentum during the first quarter with that huge double digit lead, and they didn't look back anymore. It's good to see that they have a good supporting center in Hartenstein that is very active in the paint.

Philadelphia 76ers - Cleveland Cavaliers = Philadelphia 76ers @ 1.92
- WIN. I expected that the Philly will continue their winning streak, and maybe the fact that they are playing on their home is the reason why I put my bet on them. Cavaliers are the best defensive team right now in the NBA, but they just can't stop the Sixers and scored 63 points against 38 for them. I thought for a second that they will make a comeback as well like what the Pacers did.

Brooklyn Nets - Miami Heat = Brooklyn Nets @ 1.81
- WIN. Brooklyn Bridges is doing it at Brooklyn. The Nets have now a new crowd favorite, and he's enjoying playing there. A new career high 45 points for him, and what's good about him is that, he can be a reliable scorer, but at the same time, he's an elite defender, and he isn't injury prone as well that's why he's being called "Iron Man". Cam Thomas with 19 points and Cam Johnson with 18. Good win for them on their home.

Los Angeles Lakers - New Orleans Pelicans = New Orleans Pelicans @2.70
- LOST. I lost on this one and I thought I will go 4/4 today. It seems like what @YuginKadoya said was true that their new players are performing better for the team. They also have a deeper depth right now compare to what it was before the trade deadline. Russel, AD and Lebron combined for 70 points in this win. Good win for them as well.

I also put a bet Denver Nuggets - Dallas Mavericks Total (Incl. Overtime) = Over 214.5 @ 1.75 during the halftime of the game, and I won so 4/5 today .

Here are the results of my picks for today's game,

Indiana Pacers VS Chicago Bulls SCORE 117 - 113 - WIN

The Chicago Bulls have a great start in the 1st half but the Indiana Pacers have made a great turn of events in the 2nd half, which led them to win this close game, Myles Turner got 17 points, Aaron Nesmith got 21 and Buddy Hield got 27 points, winning the game,

Atlanta Hawks VS New York Knicks SCORE 101 - 122 - LOST

I was so frustrated when the Hawks lost the game well just because I have not bet for them that I have lost, actually, the Knicks from start to finish is not slowing down while the Hawks have shown how fragile they are, Jalen Brunson was very slick in this game, RJ Barett got 17 points Julius Randle has a double-double of 11 rebounds and 25 points and Jalen Brunson got 28 points winning the game against the Hawks,

Philadelphia 76ers VS Cleveland Cavaliers SCORE 118 - 112 - LOST

A close game indeed the 76ers have a great lead at the start of the game but the Cavaliers have shown momentum in getting the lead chip little by little, but they haven't made a progress in getting the lead themselves, De'Anthony Melton got 17 points James Harden has a double-double of 12 assists and 19 points, and Joel Embiid has a double-double of 14 rebounds and 29 points winning the game against the Cavaliers,

Los Angeles Lakers VS New Orleans Pelicans SCORE 120 - 102 - WIN

Surely those 3 new recruits for the Lakers have done them pretty much good, and have done justice to the Lakers because, with their match with the Pelicans, they are now doing so much with some of their players, pretty much D'Angelo Russell is a great addition to the team, well both D'Angelo Russell and Lebron James got 21 points and Anthony Davis has a double-double of 10 rebounds and 28 points winning against the Pelicans,

I was expecting a surprise from Miami Heat but it didn't happen. It's no problem, my other bets won 2/3

Man, that's a loss again. Most of us took the bet for Indiana Pacers and it hit, even my -3.5. The Bulls had that 24-point lead in the first quarter and I even thought it was going to be a blowout game but the Pacers pushed hard to make the game close until they got the lead in the last minutes of the game.
Win! I was praying Zach LaVine will miss that one free throw and it was answered.  Thank you for the tip @freedomgo

Charlotte Hornets - San Antonio Spurs - Charlotte Hornets (-4.5) - Win.
Memphis Grizzlies - Utah Jazz - Memphis Grizzlies (-7.5) - Loss. Didn't cover, I need 2 more points.
Boston Celtics - Detroit Pistons - Boston Celtics (-5.5) - Win
Philadelphia 76ers - Cleveland Cavaliers - Cleveland Cavaliers ML - Loss. They tried to get close after a 27-point lead early in the game. They made an 18-3 run but it was not enough.

3/5 Not bad.
Betting for the New Orleans Pelicans +11.5. Caught in the first quarter. They are still down by 10.
