Just by the hair mate, but I knew my bet is lost already though when Miami took that lead in the dying seconds. It's just a miracle that Randle hit that very though fade away against the defense of Butler, it was really a dagger.

And then they were not able to get a clean shot as they know what play they are going to run since this is the same play they did before when they are also down against them. That time Hero runs on several picks and got a clean shot, however he missed it. So they guarded him and they steal the ball. I was hoping that they will foul but they know that they are done with just 1.1 seconds.

Same here and in-fact, I did a wager in favor of the Los Angeles Lakers because what they did in their previous game versus the Minnesota Timberwolves was outstanding, especially Schroder but earlier, he was back again in his inconsistent phase. That is why I said to myself that they might make it this time because AD will be with them but that's not what happened as most of them failed to help their big man.

Actually, I was thinking that the Lakers could've won that game if only Dennis Schroder somehow gave what he performed last time when they were facing the Thunders but unfortunately, Schroder only focused on giving some assists to his team and only managed to contribute 6 points which is quite different from his performance in their past game. Still inconsistent, they know that LeBron might not come back in the regular season, so they should step up their game more to help AD from lifting the whole team towards a W.

On their next game, it will be played at Crypto Arena where the Lakers somehow got a little home advantage, but they should thrive hard this time as they will be facing the Warriors with Steph Curry's return.

So that's an interesting factor...
In the victory against OKC, most of the Lakers players scored, and they won the match without LJ and AD.

I have no doubt that in the game against the Timberwolves, AD would be the team's reference player, and indeed he was, AD scored 38 points, KAT was not playing, but Gobert played, in my view, AD played extremely well against the Timberwolves and mainly against Gobert.

I believe what happened in this last Lakers game was that the other players didn't perform relevantly to help the team to beat the Timberwolves.

Let's see if in the next games the Lakers can reverse these losses they had!
Tomorrow he will play against GSW and during the week against the Grizzlies

Went 1-3 last night took the Knicks when they were -3.5 it dropped all the way to +1.5 once they announced Jimmy buckets was playing.  Oh well at least the Knicks won

Got 4 games tonight all home favorites(one dog).

I like the heat -1 lost a tough one and think they will bounce back
I like the Wizards at home +2 against Toronto

Gimme the Bucks-4.5 at home have to ride them

Last I like Sacramento-5 at home. 

Good luck tonight everyone.

Ya, that was ridiculous. It took the biggest comeback of the year to ruin my parlay. Not gonna lie, I was feeling really confident about this one and put a few bucks behind it. I really thought I was about to hit it big. I honestly still can’t believe the comeback I saw as I watched the game. Oh well… I really wanted to show that winning slip though. Would have been epic.

Correct me if I'm wrong since I'm not expert on gambling and it's terms, but is this them winning the title?

They are currently on a 5 game winning streak just because they are playing on their home, and currently they are one of the best teams right now on their home. On the other hand, there road record is very awful. They are only 7-23 on the road, and if you will ask me what's the problem with the team? It's their defense. They are 2nd last season in defense, but now they are at the top 16th. Defense plays a big role and that's why we saw the Celtics getting into the NBA Finals last season.

If you really want to bet on them, maybe try to wait a little longer and observe their record in their next 10 games because on that 10, 8 games will be on the road. If there is an improvement on them playing on the road, you might try and risk it. I mean there are some experts who are betting on them as well. It wasn't a waste of money, but try and observe them for the next 10 games then you decide.

Good luck to all of us and here's my bets
Washington Wizards - Toronto Raptors - Washington Wizards @ 2.12
- I thought that this game will be held on the home of the Raptors, but when I saw that it will be on Washington "again", I think that they will win on it again. They just have a game a few days ago so these 2 teams know now how to counter each other. I just bet on the Wizards because it's their home court.

Miami Heat - Atlanta Hawks - Miami Heat @ 1.74
- I guess the Miami can defend their home against the visiting Atlanta Hawks. With their new coach Quinn Snyder, I'm not expecting too much for these Hawks team, but this match will be an important match for both teams. If Atlanta wins, they will switch with Miami on the 7th and 8th spot because the Miami are only 0.5 games ahead of the Hawks.

San Antonio Spurs - Houston Rockets - San Antonio Spurs @ 1.97
- The battle of the low-seeded teams. I just bet on the Spurs on this one because it's their home court.

Milwaukee Bucks - Philadelphia 76ers - Milwaukee Bucks @ 1.54
- With the Bucks having a very good home record (27-5), I don't think that they will lose on this one even though they are facing Harden, Embiid and Maxey. The winning streak is on the line here. Giannis is playing like the normal Giannis that we've used to watch who is dominating the paint. He recovered from his injury already.

Warriors has a very weak bench unlike before that they have a full pack players that they sacrificed just to maintain their main man. It’s very hard to dominate the league if you have a weak subs while the enemy team like Boston, Suns and other top contender has a very strong and young line-up.

That 15.0 odds is really good but current teams on NBA is not joke unlike last year. I think everyone is prepared for the GSW especially Clippers and Nuggets on West, Boston on East.

Without further ado here are my picks for tomorrow's game,

Washington Wizards VS Toronto Raptors

The stake odds for this game are 2.90 for the Wizards and 1.78 for the Raptors, Right now Monte Morris can not play for the Wizards, while Dalano Banton is doubtful if he can play for the Raptors, for this game I think the Wizards is underestimated here and a lot wants Raptors to win, but for me, last game for this two teams the Washington Wizards have won, so my pick is the Washington Wizards,

Miami Heat VS Atlanta Hawks

The stake odds for this game are 1.74 for the Heat and 2.15 for the Hawks, Right now Kyle Lowry and Nikola Jovic can not play for the Heat, and Omer Yurtseven is doubtful if he can play for the Heat, while the Atlanta Hawks doesn't have any injuries, for this game I don't think that the Heat could easily win against the Hawks now that the Hawks is at their 100% but the Atlanta Hawks was underestimated by the odds, for me, my pick is the Atlanta Hawks,

Milwaukee Bucks VS Philadelphia 76ers

The stake odds for this game are 1.54 for the Bucks and 2.55 for the 76ers, Right now Wesley Matthews, can not play for the Bucks while Dewayne Dedmon is doubtful if he can play for the 76ers, for this game it is clear that Milwaukee Bucks has Giannis Antetouompo and can play for the Bucks, so this is a good opportunity for the Bucks winning this, that is why my pick is the Milwaukee Bucks,

Sacramento Kings VS Minnesota Timberwolves

The stake odds for this game are 1.48 for the Kings and 2.75 for the Timberwolves, right now Richaun Holmes is doubtful if he can play for the Kings while Jaylen Nowell and Karl-Anthony Towns can not play for the Timberwolves, for this game the Timberwolves are having a hardtime and they are not the same Timberwolves they used to be, while the Sacramento Kings are equal with the Clippers, so my pick is the Sacramento Kings,

Opportunity. Because there's a chance they may win the championship. I have neighbors who are pessimistic about this but when you look at how they are defeating strong teams, it should not be a question anymore. This is not different from what happened last year. They are underestimated and yet they won the championship. I can say it's a strong bet but don't expect too much.
Consistency had been their biggest issue. Without Steph, Klay would need to step up but now, it's not all about him anymore.

6 games later.
My early picks will be for:
Washington Wizards - Toronto Raptors - Wizards ML
San Antonio Spurs - Houston Rockets - Rockets ML
Sacramento Kings - Minnesota Timberwolves- Kings -3.5.

I would like to discuss NBA futures betting.

While browsing the odds, I noticed that the Warriors are at 15. Honestly, I am tempted to bet on them now because they have proven how good they are as a team. Even without Curry, they still manage to win games. They are currently ranked fifth in the Western Conference with a 34-30 win/loss record and are on a five-game winning streak.

What do you think about my thoughts? Is this an opportunity or am I just wasting my money?

Despite scoring 38 points, Davis was unable to carry his team to victory. The Lakers really need LeBron; although they have won some games without him, their playoff chances might be at risk without consistency. It was a home game, so they were supposed to win with their home advantage, but they lacked energy, the ball movement seemed lost, and they relied too much on their big man AD."

Yup! that is why I always pick the fewer odds or almost the same odds for a more profitable win, and that is why I am just betting on 4 games,

Well, the Suns are a formidable team I had to admit they become a top-tier team thanks to Kevin Durant and right now Chris Paul has adjusted his play in scoring less and doing a great job with making plays, passing the ball to a wide-open teammate and scoring himself when an open opportunity came, while yes the Knicks are more reliable than the Heat, I can not trust Butler at all he is consistent, but in some other time he is not, and for me, Knicks are a team with great success right now,

---

Here are the result of my picks I am having a great time just getting good sometimes but some other times I feel unlucky and resting from a bet really help, now I got 3/4

Chicago Bulls VS Phoenix Suns SCORE 104 - 125 - WIN

The Phoenix Suns quite have a dominant start 40 points in the 1st quarter surely is a great leap for the Suns, and the lead just continues Chris Paul is in great mode with his assists and when he is open he is the one creating shots, Kevin Durant got 20 points Josh Okogie got 25 points and Devin Booker got 35 points,

Miami Heat VS New York Knicks SCORE 120 - 122 - WIN

This game was really a pretty close game but surely the New York Knicks got a great lead that the Heat couldn't make an advancement to the knicks lead, but it was a pretty much close game, RJ Barrett got 17 points, Immanuel Quickley got 21 points, Jalen Brunson got 25 points and Julius Randle got 43 points,

Golden State Warriors VS New Orleans Pelicans SCORE 108 - 99 - WIN

A close game indeed, CJ McCollum got 25 points, but the Golden State Warriors got a pretty great lead in winning the game, the Warriors got a great spread with this game, and I think the whole team had given their part, Jordan Poole got 18 points, Jonathan Kuminga got 19 points and Klay Thompson got 27 points,

Los Angeles Lakers VS Minnesota Timberwolves SCORE 102 - 110 - LOST

A Close game indeed and because Lebron James and D'Angelo Russell didn't play the Lakers just had a hard time winning against the Timberwolves, but it was a pretty much close game, the Timberwolves got a pretty decent spread of Naz Reid got 15 points, Anthony Edwards got 19 points and Rudy Gobert has a double-double of 14 rebounds and 22 points,

I confess that I was surprised by this defeat by Boston.
The Celtics were performing very well, but even so, the Nets managed to reduce that point difference and win the match.

A game that I was extremely bad, was Lakers x Timberwolves, with a possible return of AD and another KAT game would be absent, I imagined that the chance of the Lakers win was greater, well... this was another game that I was terrible in my bets lol

2/4. Just a split.

I should've gone further at the spreads for the Suns and the Nuggets. Kind of lost my courage there and didn't go greedy.
Sacramento Kings won but didn't cover, the game is too close because the Clippers are really trying to push for a win. PG13, Westbrook, and Gordon all scored above 20 points. Knicks won too but the same result they didn't cover the spread. Man, it could've been a perfect night.

I thought I took a bet for the Warriors, I guess I forgot.  Jonathan Kuminga exploded and it's definitely a big help for a team that's playing back-to-back games. They badly need that young energetic aura on their home floor and it became contagious.

Sad to say that your parlay was being ruined by 1 point NYK win only by 2 points as Heat didn't let them to dominate butler
played and provide 33 points. They almost take this one against NYK.

Almost a good comeback for the Heat, just a little close in snatching this at home, still struggling to win games for them
even they are almost complete and healthy playing.

Better luck next time!

I'm a little disappointed with the game between the Clippers and the Kings. Maybe I'm a little biased, as I had bet on the Clippers with 2.75 moneyline odds during the live game. I thought that my bet would easily lose, but then the Clippers had a good run and even led in the 4th quarter. What disappoints me is that it seems like the refs are calling fouls too easily in favor of the Kings. It appears like they want the home team to win, but for the Clippers to still cover the handicap.

Unfortunately your parlay would have been ruined by the team with probably the least odds for the night, for clarification I meant the Boston Celtics losing to the Brooklyn Nets from a situation that the Celtics are 30-1 in, that's for every game that they've lead by at least 20 points in the first quarter, I'm sure this one is also going down in their history.

The Brooklyn Nets finally defeats the Celtics in the NBA after 10 consecutive loss in this fixture, without KD, Kyrie, James Harden or even Ben Simmons, from being down by 28 points in the game, It's freaking surreal!

For tonight's picks I think I like a multi-bet parlay with the Magic, Celtics, Suns, Nuggets, Warriors, Kings, & Timberwolves.  I put a couple bucks on that as well as a few variations to see if I could make some magic happen tonight.  With the Celtics/Nets and Grizzlies/Nuggets both being on ESPN tonight, I figured I'd watch and make it a little interesting.  I'm already looking forward to the weekend though.  Sunday has a pretty good lineup of games starting with one that I've been waiting to see since I heard about the KD and Kyrie trades...  The Suns and the Mavericks are kicking things off Sunday morning on ABC.  Already excited.

∆ C. Capela 20+ PR / C. Capela 1+ blocks / Hawks ML @2.03 ∆   won

Wizards spoiled Quin Snyder's debut with the Hawks even though they trailed practically the entire game. It's a good bounce-back spot for them, i'm also targeting the biggest mismatch in this game. Capela vs. Blazers team who plays without a typical center (Nurk is injured). Capela had 13 and 15 (+ 3 blocks) in his first game with the new coach on 35 minutes. Blazers give the most points to opposing centers on the season, bottom in the league with points in the paint allowed /L10. Capela should have 20 points + rebounds by the end of the first half. He's had at least one block in 6/L7.
