I put a few satoshis down on the Chicago Bulls defeating the Indy Pacers, who were favored to win the game at -2.5 points.  The Bulls have dropped like 4 or 5 straight, so it's nice to see them play really well, at least so far tonight especially without Demar DeRozan playing in this game. 

Nice seeing contributions from Coby White and Ayo Dosunmo, they've really stepped up tonight in the absence of DeRozan.

As a bettor, who would've expect that the Celtics will play on that way.

That only shows that they are the team to watch out with. They have all the tools offensively and at the same time, they have players who are for me I can call the "Giannis Stoppers" who can stop and defend him inside the paint. Of course if he's running on fastbreak, expect that no one can stop him, but in the paint, the Celtics have the players that can defend him. Grant Williams is the one that I always see that can stop him.

Anyway, here are my bets for this tonight's game.

Atlanta Hawks - New York Knicks = New York Knicks @ 2.38
Philadelphia 76ers - Cleveland Cavaliers = Philadelphia 76ers @ 1.92
Brooklyn Nets - Miami Heat = Brooklyn Nets @ 1.81
Los Angeles Lakers - New Orleans Pelicans = New Orleans Pelicans @2.70

Good luck to all of us.

Hornets -4.5 live betting at 1.95, against the San Antonio Spurs. It's early in the first quarter but the Spurs took a slight lead.

Gonna be interesting defending their homecourt and I think they can do it against the visiting Spurs. Hayward and Ball will have to shoulder most of the scoring and I think the duo can make it.

So with these trades done during the entire Lebron point breaking segment, Kyrie Irving going to the Mavericks got put aside.

I only seen somebody ask if he was getting game time on the court with Luka Doncic or not the night he started earlier last week.

They are playing against Denver Nuggets tonight so expect them to beat them with the over on points.
As Jokic has been on an unstoppable streak last I watched one of their games last week.

My picks for tonight.

Los Angeles Lakers (-4.5) vs New Orleans Pelicans = Los Angeles Lakers Win 1,82 Odds.

Brooklyn Nets vs Miami Heat = Miami Heat Win 1,97 Odds.

Indiana Pacers vs Chicago Bulls = Indiana Pacers Win 1,72 Odds.

Good luck guys.

Yeah, it was a disaster for me as well, hehehe, single and parlay bets.

But let's continue with our bets, that is just part of the game for us.

Celtics vs Detroit - Smart and Tatum are scheduled to make a return in this game, so I expect at least the Celtics winning by a double digit margin.
Hawks vs Knicks - I love the Knicks but it's time for the Hawks to win at home, -2.5 @1.82.

I think good for me 1/2, better than my last picks. Of course I will try to be better tonight.
There are good games, I will choose 3-4 games and share them as soon as possible.

Really tough to predict, with how Magic rally back in the 2nd quarter it seems that it can be a good pick an easy cover for the handicap
but coming 2nd half Raptors came back stronger and established good lead.

Unable to bounce back, Magic lose the game with double digits and most of those who trusted them
to cover the handicap lose the bets, nothing but to move forward and try to pick which games will
be the best to bet with to bounce/recover.

10 games today. Wow. No super early games. Thank God. 
Let me second the motion. Going for the Indiana Pacers here @-3.5. I am so done with the Chicago Bulls, I have never felt a win at all the bets I made for them. Time to let go.

Charlotte Hornets - San Antonio Spurs - Charlotte Hornets (-4.5) Hornets are not a bad team but the Spurs have not been winning games lately. 13th losing streak and I doubt it can be stopped. Coach Pop must be furious about what is happening. He needs better players on his team.

Memphis Grizzlies - Utah Jazz - Memphis Grizzlies (-7.5) Sorry Jazz, but Memphis Grizzlies are hot for revenge after losing against the Celtics. They will force this one and try to get farther away from the number 3 Sacramento Kings.

Boston Celtics - Detroit Pistons - Boston Celtics (-5.5) Their bench and roleplayers already proved they are still good even without Tatum, Brown, and Smart, so I bet they can handle the Pistons too.

Philadelphia 76ers - Cleveland Cavaliers - Cleveland Cavaliers ML This will be a close one, there's no assurance the Cavs will win this but I want to take the risk.

Good luck everyone.

Here are my picks for tomorrow's games

Indiana Pacers VS Chicago Bulls

The stake odds for this game are 1.73 for the Pacers and 2.16 for the Bulls, right now Daniel Theis and Myles Turner are questionable if they can play for the Pacers, While DeMar DeRozan, Derrick Jones Jr., Javonte Green, and Lonzo Ball can not play, Goran Dragic and Alex Caruso are questionable if they can play for the Bulls, for this game the Bulls has so many injuries and those are the main players for the Bulls, so my pick will be the Indiana Pacers,

Atlanta Hawks VS New York Knicks

The stake odds for this game are 1.66 for the Hawks and 2.28 for the Knicks, Right now De'Andre Hunter, and John Collins are questionable if they can play for the Hawks while Mitchell Robinson can not play for the Knicks for this game, even though De'Andre Hunter and John Collins are questionable it doesn't matter, for me my pick will be the Atlanta Hawks,

Philadelphia 76ers VS Cleveland Cavaliers

The stake odds for this game are 1.79 for the 76ers and 2.08 for the Cavaliers, right now Furkan Korkmaz, can not play because of injury, Joel Embiid, and P.J. Tucker are questionable if they can play, for the 76ers, while the Cavaliers don't have any injuries right now, for me I think Joel Embiid and PJ Tucker even though they can play for this game they will not be in their 100% form so my pick will be the Cleveland Cavaliers,

Los Angeles Lakers VS New Orleans Pelicans

The stake odds for this game are 1.59 for the Lakers and 2.42 for the Pelicans, for this game LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Scotty Pippen Jr. are questionable if they can not play against the Pelicans, while Dyson Daniels, Zion Williamson, and E.J. Liddell can not play CJ McCollum is questionable if he can play for the Pelican, for me because of the new players for the Lakers and the Pelicans still doesn't have Zion on their team, my pick will be the Lakers,

Most probably, Khris Middleton was just resting because he wasn't on the injury list if I'm not mistaken. But if ever he did play on that game, I'm quite certain that the handicap will be covered and for Jrue Holiday, yes, it is his season high where he tied his career high that was made last season against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Now, the Milwaukee Bucks is on a hot 11 win streak and their next game will be against the Chicago Bulls. We will see if they can able to defeat the home team at the United Center.

@Freedomgo, let me tail you with that Pacers bet as I believe that a -2.5 is not that hard for them to cover, hopefully.

Holiday played very well in that game, he scored 40 points, it was probably his biggest output this season.
Maybe they are not so dominant because they miss the service of Middleton who I think was injured, or resting.



If there's a team that I would love to win, it should be the Pacers since they are in a losing streak and have only won 1 of their last 10 games.

Well, that was a breathtaking game and you cannot honestly watch that kind of game every day where most of the bench players from the Celtics are playing but still almost defeated the home team which got their superstars playing with them. Giannis and Holiday need to step-up their game further because that game was almost close.

I see that we have lots of games again tomorrow, have you guys made yours? Well, here my early picks.

Indiana Pacers -2.5
Miami Heat -1
Boston Celtics -8

That was a hard decision to bet on the Raptors, their last game, they only won 1 point against the Piston, and then they played the Magic who are a better team than the Pistons, so the expectation is really on the Magic to at least cover the handicap. But yeah, it looks easy on paper but in reality the Raptors did well to cover the spread.

I was able to bet on these games, won the Raptors game while losing on the Bucks game. Didn't expect that Celtics will make it a very close game, they almost upset the home team but good thing the game went over, in the OT, it was still the Celtics who had an early lead, but the Bucks did come back to complete a win.

About the Raptors game, on paper, the Magic looks great because they have won their past games, but the actual, Raptors took control of the game in the 2nd half, won, and cover the spread too.

Many got baited with the fact that the Celtics are playing with the Bucks without their core players like Brown, Tatum, and Smart including me. I also thought that -7.5 will be easily covered by the Bucks, but I was wrong. The good thing though that I made with that game is that I put my bet on the Bucks in winning the game when they are still down and luckily, I won on that bet so my loss with my spread just came back because of that win.

Overall, I'm very impressed with how the Celtics are playing right now. Take note that they are up against a complete and top team in Bucks and they lost by only 6 points, and it also went to overtime. Derrick White's impressive performance has been taken out by Jrue Holiday's 40 points, and that three that he made at the final seconds of the game sealed the deal and got the victory.

Here are the results of my bets.
Toronto Raptors - Orlando Magic = Orlando Magic @ 3.40
- Lost. I thought that the Magic can steal one on the road. They manage to take the lead, but loss by double digits.
Milwaukee Bucks - Boston Celtics = Milwaukee Bucks (-7.5) @1.61
- Lost with this bet, but I put a bet during the game with the Bucks winning the game and I won so overall, I won with this game.
Phoenix Suns - Sacramento Kings = Phoenix Suns @ 1.77
- Won. I expect them to beat the Kings after how they are playing in their recent games and that is without Bridges. They have players that stepped up offensively and defensively.
Portland Trail Blazers - Washington Wizards = Washington Wizards @ 1.94
- Won. With Kuz, KP and Beal playing, I thought that they can steal one on the road and they are playing good on the road as well so I put my bet on them, and I won.

Same here, I thought that -7.5 is going to be covered by the Bucks because of Celtics missing their best players. And I thought that the winning streak is going to be end tonight.

The Bucks started very strong in the fourth, from down 95-90, then tie the score and even take the lead. But Celtics keeps fighting back and when you thought that the game is already done with the Bucks leading 3, Sam Hauser nail that three in the middle, forcing OT. Not a good night for some of us.

I wish you didn't go with the Sacramento Kings. 
Booker is back to being explosive all of a sudden, I thought he is still taking his time finding his rhythm back and I didn't expect it to be as soon as now.
He made 32 points 13/20 FG, that's above freaking 50 percent which is high and he didn't try any three-pointers. Looks like he knew he need to find his shooting range first and it was one hell of a successful trial.

Milwaukee Bucks on the other hand won the game but I lack two more points to cover the spread. As I said, I don't want to underestimate the Celtics and only took the lowest spread there is, which is -7.5. Perhaps, the safest could've been the +10.5 for the Celtics.

Not my day, sorry.
To the winners, congratulations.

Anytime bro, but I haven't made a bet today due to being busy if you have a bet with the Pacers VS Jazz, Heat VS Nuggets, and Warriors VS Wizards then congratulations to you well the Bulls and Magic game was pretty much close, and pretty much Paolo Banchero is firing dime while their spread was good as well they have managed to stay on the rhythm


The great thing about the Nuggets was even though they have Nikola Jokic they are not much relying on them they certainly got players that are very well good at anything and the because of that they have a great spread on their scores, and another thing Jokic is consistent in making double-double or triple-double plays that is why he can surely knock their opponents into a great lead,

Here are my picks on Yesterday's games,

Indiana Pacers VS Utah Jazz SCORE 117 - 123 - WIN

Miami Heat VS Denver Nuggets SCORE 108 - 112 - WIN

Chicago Bulls VS Orlando Magic SCORE 91 - 100 - LOST

Golden State Warriors VS Washington Wizards SCORE 135 - 126 - WIN

It is just me who bet on the Bucks at home their winning streak at the line against the best team in their division without Celtics core and a healthy Giannis and Middleton and and Holiday and yet they are behind by 5 points against Boston?

Former Buck Malcolm Brogdon and another surprised player, Mike Muscala taking charge and the old Blake Griffin. It's going to sting if the Bucks are going to lose this one from Boston's second stringers.
