Thought the Heat could defend their home, but I guess the Nuggets are still very dangerous even without Murray. It is a good game though.
Murray isn't the main person on the team anymore, but it's Jokic.
Add also the fact that their depth is so far one of the best in the league this season, an absence of an all-star player can't be felt that much because they still have role players like Gordon that can step up if needed.

I like the Bucks going into tonight game too, not just about being the home team or trying to take some form of pride in the game, the Boston Celtics could also be without their complete 5 starters, with Jaylen Brown, Tatum, and Marcus Smart all ruled out already, and Robert Williams and Al Horford listed as questionable, Milwaukee Bucks could have wished for a better time to face the Celtics, the second unit of Celtics led by Derrick White and Brogdon are still a bit of force to reckon with, so the Bucks shouldn't get all comfortable too.
All of their core players are out, and add also the fact that they are playing on the road.
On the other hand, the Celtics are still a good team and they show it against the Grizzlies (though it was on their home). Anyway, I put my bet on the Bucks on this one and these are my bets for today:

Toronto Raptors - Orlando Magic = Orlando Magic @ 3.40
Milwaukee Bucks - Boston Celtics = Milwaukee Bucks (-7.5) @1.61
Phoenix Suns - Sacramento Kings = Phoenix Suns @ 1.77
Portland Trail Blazers - Washington Wizards = Washington Wizards @ 1.94

Golden State Warriors vs Washington Wizards
The Golden State Warriors (28-28) will host the Washington Wizards (26-29) tonight at Chase Center. Golden State is extra strong in their home, hopefully, it is still true in this game.
Warriors key injuries: Gary Payton II (core muscle injury) out, Andre Iguodala (hip) out
Wizards key injuries: Kyle Kuzma (ankle) out


Unfortunately, Miami Heat was defeated by the Denver Nuggets by a 4 point margin. It was a close game though, both teams are chasing each other in every quarter but the Heat didn't manage to get the last quarter.

Tailing you on the Golden State Warriors -3.5 @ Chase Center, I believe they can still defend their home successfully today even without Steph Curry on the floor because of a lower leg tightness. The management has said that he won't be playing until the All-Star game.

Lose my parlay due to Heat vs Nuggets match but it is worth the risk. Thought the Heat could defend their home, but I guess the Nuggets are still very dangerous even without Murray. It is a good game though.

Congrats on your GSW bet. They are really scary when defending their home.

Here's my bet for today. Betting against the Warriors right now. It is a back-to-back game for them, and they are on the road against a strong Clippers.

Bucks and Kings though could be the best bet for your $27  Grin

Specially the Kings who are the underdog here against the Phoenix Suns. They are very good road team.

While the Bucks has the 10 game winning streak and playing at Fiserv against the top seed Celtics. So there is pride on this game, Giannis for sure wanted to get Celtics a beating in this game.

5 games later guys. Place your picks!

Milwaukee Bucks - Boston Celtics - Milwaukee Bucks (-7.5) I don't want to underestimate the Boston Celtics by too much so I didn't take the -10.5 for the Bucks. So many questionable players on the Celtics roster but there's a chance someone will step up his game and cling to a close game. Giannis is also probable to play.

Phoenix Suns - Sacramento Kings - Sacramento Kings ML Kings all the way!  Cheesy Malik Monk is out due to what happened at their last game against the Mavericks, very bad fall. KD won't be playing until the All-Star so let's not expect his debut for the last 2 games of the Suns.

Portland Trail Blazers - Washington Wizards - Portland Trail Blazers (-4.5) Portland is now better defensively with the addition of Matisse Thybulle so Simons and Dame can focus on the offensive end. Jerami Grant is probable to play. No updates yet if Kyle Kuzma will play.

Good luck everyone.

I've got like $27 dollars worth of betting that I have to make in order to fully cash out my current balance at one of my online casino accounts, so I'm trying to pick between one of these games and I think you make some good points above, so I'll be choosing one of your picks ( I hope you know your stuff lol).  I was thinking of betting on the Suns, but the information you listed above helps with that decision now ( going with the Kings too).  Thx and good luck to us.

Edit: ML with Portland is also very attractive already.

Unfortunately, Miami Heat was defeated by the Denver Nuggets by a 4 point margin. It was a close game though, both teams are chasing each other in every quarter but the Heat didn't manage to get the last quarter.
And I lose my bet here. I was thinking that Miami had the advantage since they are at home and Murray did not play, but it was really the teamwork of the Nuggets that made them the better team here. I'm done with Miami Heat, they are so inconsistent.



A familiar game setup with Denver. They manage to play together and snatch this game against the Heat. Not really good for
the home team as they are good in the first quarter but unable to hold the lead for long.

after Denver close the game end of a 2nd quarter, the game was close but like what you said, Denver is good with how they
execute their plays.

What do you guys think about the whole Chicago Bull situation.  Were they stupid to stand pat and not make any trades? Do you think that they should literally consider trading Lavine? At this point he's the only mid to long term option that's set in stone, so for me I think it would have made sense to deal DeRozan and Vuc perhaps.  Who the hell knows when Ball will be back, if ever. Frustrating season for my club.
Was waiting for their big move too but nothing. We have heard a lot of rumors about their two star shooters wanting a trade and yet it didn't become fruitful, I guess nobody really pushed it to move forward.
The Bulls management might want to just let it go on where it is this season, if they are going to lose, so be it. The inconsistency is not tolerable anymore and I don't feel like it's working out for them, no chemistry at all. Next year though, it might be different.

Sorry about your parlay @boltz, you are not alone.  Cheesy

Cleveland Cavaliers - San Antonio Spurs - Cleveland Cavaliers (-12.5)
Charlotte Hornets - Atlanta Hawks - Atlanta Hawks (-3.5)
New York Knicks - Brooklyn Nets - Brooklyn Nets ML
Miami Heat - Denver Nuggets - Denver Nuggets ML
Cavs 117 - SAS 109 - didn't cover the spread. It was supposed to hit but garbage time happened.
Hornets 144 - Hawks 138 - high scoring game but Hawks without Collins is a big hole.
Knicks 124 - Nets 106 - Brunson was mad, I think he had 34 at the end of 3rd quarter. Ended at 40, I thought he is going to break his career high.
Heat 108 - Nuggets 112 - Somehow this game gave me a win.
1/4 for my early bets. Lots of loss in parlays. Two short late-game parlays won.

@boltz, nothing is easy in NBA, parlay is the hardest to win even if you will pick the heavy favorites to win. Just have some fun with parlay, don't focus too much on that, maybe you can bet on one bet per game, and I'm sure your chance to win will increase.

It's very frustrating if we put a decent amount in our parlay bet and the games that we thought would easily hit will lose. Been there dude, so I decided to calm down a bit on parlay bets.

I'll be betting on the Oklahoma City Thunder -2.5 @1.98 as the odds look pretty good against the Pelicans, they'll be playing at home and whenever they're favorites at home they usually cover (currently 8-3 ATS). The Pelicans are still struggling on the road currently with only 2 away wins out of at least 10 games and with their poor form it seems unlikely for them to break the streak today when they're up against one of the best teams that cover the spread.
Not able to him on their homecourt, sometimes OKC is unpredictable too, they won road games but lose on their home court. Maybe the spread was too easy that it looks like a trap, I'm not sure where the public money is going in this game, most likely it's on the home team, so I'm not surprise with the result.

Miami Heat vs Denver Nuggets
Miami Heat (32-25) will host the visiting Denver Nuggets (39-18) tonight at Miami-Dade Arena. Nuggets are the favorite but we cannot deny the homecourt advantage of Heat.
Nuggets key injuries: Aaron Gordon (rib) questionable, Jamal Murray (knee) questionable
Heat key injuries: Bam Adebayo (knee) probable, Tyler Herro (knee) doubtful, Kyle Lowry (knee) out, Victor Oladipo (ankle) out, Max Strus (shoulder) probable, Gabe Vincent (ankle) probable


New York Knicks vs Brooklyn Nets
The Brooklyn Nets (33-23) will visit the New York Knicks tonight at Madison Square Garden. The starless Brooklyn Nets will try to win it on the road but the Knicks should have this (unless the Knicks disappoints us)
Nets key injuries: Seth Curry (thigh) out
Knicks key injuries: Mitchell Robinson (thumb) out

No they will not this season. Give this team at least 2 years to develop. Those who will step up and become an all-star are the ones that will carry the team and the ones who has little to no improvement in the span of 2 years will be traded.

The Magic is a young team and they are showing potential already. Defeating those top teams isn't an easy thing to do especially when you are at the bottom spot. I mean defeating 1 or 2 can be done by these bottom teams, but to defeat the Celtics twice, Sixers and Nuggets? They are showing that they can do it, and they only need time to develop. Offense is distributed. It's hard to stop it, and it's good thing that Fultz is starting to be a better player already after many thought that he was the #1 draft pick, but a bust.
I asked this question above because I started to watch Magic's games, and if they can be a good team to bet on and if in fact they can have an improvement in the future.

Hmm, looking at,  from that perspective you're right..
I also realized that Magic game after game has remained an interesting (to bet on) and also a promising team.
What you said about the Magic, I believe that can also apply with Boston today, Smart, Tatum and Brown, they were diamonds that were polished when they were young, and now the Celtics are getting the result of that.


They don't give up easily, so even if they will lose, there's a high chance that they will cover the spread since they are the underdog in the majority of their games due to their lower standing. I'm impressed with this time despite not being in the playoffs ranking yet, they are just composed of young players but they played with great chemistry already, so it's okay to risk our money on this team.
Hmm, I didn't know that!
I confess that for a few days I've been paying attention to Magic and also to other teams that are a "bad bet", but they can surprise many people.

I confess, the Magic is one of them, I share again what I said above, the current Magic roster is similar tlike Boston a few seasons ago.
Many "diamond players" that can be polished according to time, that's what happened to Boston

My picks for tonight.

New York Knicks (-2.5) vs Brooklyn Nets = New York Knicks Win 1,87 Odds.

Dallas Mavericks (-5.5) vsMinnesota Timberwolves = Dallas Mavericks Win 1,75 Odds.

Charlotte Hornets vs Atlanta Hawks (-5.5) = Atlanta Hawks Win 1,85 Odds.

Good luck guys.

I'll tail you with all the 3 bets mate, single and then parlay.

Knicks vs Nets = @1.91
Mavs vs Wolves = @1.80
Hornets vs Hawks = 1.88

All of them are already juicy odds for a singles, but again, I will up the ante with 3 parlays = 6.46 hehehe.

Battle of the boroughs, but I think Knicks will prevail against their rival as the Nets is still trying to adjust with their new players becoming starters.
Dallas, we all know that they have Kyrie + Luka now, although they lost the last time, I think they can bounce back here against the struggling Wolves
Hawks has been consistent as compare to Hornets.

Now here are my picks for today's game

Indiana Pacers VS Utah Jazz

The stake odds for this game are 1.96 for the Pacers and 1.89 for the Jazz, Myles Turner and Tyrese Haliburton are questionable if they can play for the Pacers while Russell WestBrick, and Micah Potter can not play for the Utah Jazz, Whoa Russell WestBrick can not play and it was not injury related? do you guys know the reason? well the Utah Jazz just need to push themselves and they surely need the motivation to win this, I still don't know what could be possible contribution WestBrick could give to Jazz, but I am going with the Utah Jazz as my pick for this game

Miami Heat VS Denver Nuggets

The stake odds for this game are 2.02 for the Heat and 1.84 for the Nuggets, Right now Victor Oladipo, Kyle Lowry, Duncan Robinson, Nikola Jovic, and Omer Yurtseven, can not play, and Haywood Highsmith, Tyler Herro, Bam Adebayo, Max Strus, and Gabe Vincent is questionable if they can play for the Heat, while Collin Gillespie, and Zeke Nnaji, can not play Aaron Gordon and Jamal Murray are questionable if they can play for the Nuggets, because of the many injuries of the Heat ad mostly well-known main players for the team while Nuggets Nikola Jokic is on play with a triple-double last game, no doubt my pick is the Denver Nuggets,

Chicago Bulls VS Orlando Magic

The stake odds for this game are 1.52 for the Bulls and 2.60 for the Nuggets, right now Javonte Green, and Lonzo Ball, and not play and Alex Caruso is questionable if he can play for the Bulls, while R.J. Hampton Not Injury Related can not play for the Magic, for me even though they have injuries compared to the Magic the Bulls is in the leading start in this game, so my pick is the Chicago Bulls,

Golden State Warriors VS Washington Wizards

The stake odds for this game are 1.64 for the Warriors and 2.32 for the Wizards, right now Andre Iguodala, Gary Payton II, and Stephen Curry can not play for the Warriors while Kyle Kuzma is questionable if he can play for the Wizards, comparing these two teams the Warriors now badly needed the wins, and for the 2nd time they are playing at home if they lose this again they will lose this championship this season, so my pick is the Golden State Warriors,


Thanks for sharing some of your advance picks mate, let me tail you with some of your early bets.

Utah Jazz (-1.5) = This might be an easy game for the Jazz especially if Haliburton and Turner won't play as they are listed questionable for the game later.
Golden State Warriors (-4) = Kuzma is now ruled out for the game later.

And I'll try to see the Denver Nuggets vs Heat match-up later because I'm quite doubtful about the current spread. Good luck guys!
