I'm tailing on the Indiana Pacers,  although Tyrese Haliburton has been ruled out, maybe that's why the line has reduced a bit it's currently, -4.5 @ 1.90 for Pacers, I'll take it regardless, Spurs are without a lot of core players Keldon Johnson is out, and having to depend on Devin Vassell who's been out injured for around two months and Tre Jones look quite not worth backing for as well.


I've also got an eye out for LA Clippers -3.5 vs Golden State Warriors, LA Clippers look really good the departure of Reggie Jackson and addition of Russell Westbrook have made them a really better team, and according to reports it's seems he's going to be among the starting five for Clippers tonight... I've also got a Props on him to make Over 7.5 assist tonight.

GL!

They almost choked "again" after they choked against the Pacers a few weeks ago.

I mean the Pistons had a chance to tie the ballgame, but their import Jaden Ivey made a huge mistake that caused them to completely loss the game after their comeback. He called a timeout on the final seconds where in fact, they don't have any timeout anymore. Bulls took a free throw and they got the possession as well. That caused them the game, and a possible comeback.

---

Anyway, here are my bet's for tonight's games:

Washington Wizards - Toronto Raptors - Washington Wizards
- The Raptors are playing very well in their last 10 games winning 8 of it, but I think that the Wizards will come out victorious on this one especially when their big 3 are playing and it's their home court so... yeah I picked them.

Dallas Mavericks - Philadelphia 76ers - Philadelphia 76ers
- 5 games might be a small size only, but at least we have an idea on how awful the defense of the Mavericks are especially their interior defense and with Embiid playing, I wonder how they can defend him on the paint. He can just score and score there because Mavs' defense is one of the worst right now. I picked the Sixers because of this.

Golden State Warriors - Los Angeles Clippers - Golden State Warriors
- It's their homecourt, and the Clippers are in a losing streak right now. They are on a 3 game losing streak and that caused them going down from 4th down to now 6th. I know it's a must win for the Clippers, but I still believe that the Warriors will win even though they're short-handed.

Good Luck to all bettors.

^ That’s funny. I bet on a few games yesterday and was lucky enough to win them all in a parlay but the only games we had that were the same was the Bucks beating the Magic. I also had the Suns over the Pelicans and the Grizzlies over the Rockets. Not the greatest odds for a 3 game parlay but it felt pretty safe to me. You got lucky on the Bulls game.

Yup! it was but I am just limiting my bet to only 4 and looking at the odds if it didn't make it in my pick maybe the odds are too high for me, but for sure the Suns have won and dominated that game, 91 - 105, and even without Lamelo Ball the Hornets seems good with Kelly Oubre Jr. and Terry Rozier, it was a good game for the Suns, and because Kevin Durant has now played and Chris Paul is doing his job point guard properly with that kind of play it was very effective because they now got Kevin Durant along with Devin Booker

The results for my picks yesterday I haven't made a pick for today's game because I was so late and fell asleep while making a post so maybe I will make my bet for the Golden State Warriors for sure but can not post it here,

Detroit Pistons VS Chicago Bulls SCORE 115 - 117 - WIN

It was a close game and Bojan Bogdanovic did a pretty good job but it was not enough because the Bulls just got a great spread and Zach LeVine is killing it, while Patrick Beverley is making good pay in getting those assists and rebounds Coby White got 14 points DeMar DeRozan got 21 points and Zach LeVine got 41 points,

Miami Heat VS Philadelphia 76ers SCORE 96 - 119 - WIN

Just like I thought the 76ers are much buff than the Heat right now, it was a close game at 1st until the 76ers have manage to pull something off the 2nd quarter, and the Miami Heat pinned their score to only making 15 points, Tobias Harris got 18 points, James Harden got 23 points and Tyrese Maxey got 27 points winning the game against the Heat,

Boston Celtics VS Cleveland Cavaliers SCORE 117 - 113 - WIN

In a close game, the Cleveland Cavaliers almost got it but has come short with their play, Donovan Mitchell is firing up with 44 points but it was not enough with the Boston Celtics lead now set, Jaylen Brown got 16, Al Horford has a double-double of 11 rebounds and 23 points while Jayson Tatum has a double-double of 11 rebounds and 41 points,

Milwaukee Bucks VS Orlando Magic 139 - 117 - WIN

And Because Giannis Antetokoumpo is now playing it was a dominant play for the Bucks dominating the Magic, Brook Lopez got 18 points Jrue Holiday got 23 points, and Giannis Antetokounmpo got 31 points with having a great spread for the Milwaukee Bucks, and the explosive return of Antetokounmpo it was a win for the Milwaukee Bucks,

Dallas Mavericks vs Philadelphia 76ers
The Dallas Mavericsk (32-31) will host the visiting Philadelphia 76ers (40-21) tonight at American Airlines Center. I am not sure if Joel Embiid is going to play but I am banking that the 76ers are tired coming from a back-to-back game.
Mavericks key injuries: Davis Bertans (calf) out

Golden State Warriors vs Los Angeles Clippers
The Golden State Warriors (32-30) will host the visiting Los Angeles Clippers (33-31) tonight at Chase Center. The Clippers are trying to break their 3-game losing skid against a very strong home defense of the Warriors. The Warriors are 25-7 at home so WB must work hard and show to his new team he deserves this opportunity.
Warriors key injuries: Stephen Curry (leg) out, Jordan Poole (knee) probable, Andrew Wiggins (personal) out

Yeah, seems the majority has won their bets, so it's a good night for us, 

Raptors vs Wizards - hard to break down this game, 9th and 10th team right now, but I will go with the Wizards at ML.
Mavs vs Sixers, - Sixers back to back games, they are going to be tired, -2.5 for Dallas @1.87
San Antonio vs Pacers - Indiana, -5.5 @1.86

Nice! That Blazers game was the only favorite that lost today. Bad luck, it could've been a perfect night for you.
Yeah, that's because the Warriors are still winning some of their games despite the long list of injured players. Plus, it's a home game where their winning percentage is higher than most teams in the league. It's on you if you want to take the risk of betting for them or you could try live betting to maximize the spread as they are the underdogs.

4 games today.
Here are my picks.
Washington Wizards - Toronto Raptors - Wizards ML Underdog by quite the amount so I'll just take the ML instead. Monte Morris is out but they still have their trio so this could become a close game. The Raptors with a clean roster and injury report tells is still Otto Porter whom I don't think will play the whole season.
Dallas Mavericks - Philadelphia 76ers - Dallas Mavericks (-3.5) I think it's time to win for the Mavs again with their superstar duo. Their record together is 1 win of 6 games. For the 76ers, Joel Embiid is probable which may be the reason for them being the underdogs.
San Antonio Spurs - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers (-6.5) - Spurs are in bad shape, it's just natural we will bet for the other team on this game. Tyrese Haliburton is questionable to play but I think they can still manage to cover the spread.

Warriors vs Clippers for later, will check the roster first.
Good luck everyone.

Good thing for me because I won that specific bet, I know that the Blazers are good but the problem about them is that they are not that consistent and in the end. In my perspective, Lillard is the only one keeping the team afloat. They might be in the playoffs or play-in but they won't survive long enough to keep their ship from sinking.

About the Clippers vs Warriors match-up, I'm still in the middle and haven't yet decide where to put my bets as we cannot disregard the fact that the Warriors is so good at home while the Clippers as well is much healthier and is looking for a bounce back.

Heads up my friend, at least you got two of your three bets correct and it was still a good day.

I admit that Blazers-Pelicans was somehow unexpected because I'm alsoo rooting for the Blazers to bounce back after the loss they got recently but that didn't happened as they just let the Pelicans do their own thing in the last 5 minutes of the game.

How about the games tomorrow? Will the Clippers bounce back this time after their 0-3 run, it is a must win for the team but it won't be that easy because the game will be played at the Warriors homecourt, we all know what that means.

Tough ones to pick and not many games to choose from in the upcoming gamenight. I'd take Clippers with almost all of the Warriors being injured. Still the morale is very low on the Clippers side of things but it could change.

Almost 3/3 today, but my bet against the Trail Blazers spoiled it. I thought that they will bounce back after that loss against the Warriors. The game was a close one until the 4th quarter where the Blazers only scored 19 points. They can't also stop Ingram as he scored 40 points in 18/29 shooting. I lost my bet on this one.

On my other bets, the Sixers won easily against the Heat on the road and that's without Embiid as well. They really bounced back after their lost on their home against the Heat as well. No chance for the Heat on this game as the Sixers just dominated every quarter. Also, the Lakers won against the Thunder without their big 3. Yes it might only be Thunder, and that's no SGA as well, but for the Lakers, all games for them are a must win if they want to clinch to the play-in or playoffs.

2/3 bets as well same with @danherbias07.

I have the Toronto Raptors tomorrow at -1.5. What's yours?

Congratulations to you and to all the winners yesterday. If I am not mistaken, all the favorites won their respective games today except for the Portland Trail Blazers. If anyone did a parlay on the other games then I bet he is a big winner now.
I forgot to do that. 

2 of 3 for my early bets.
Phoenix Suns won against the Charlotte Hornets and they also covered the spread, thank you, Kevin Durant. A very nice debut gift for him.
Milwaukee Bucks also covered the spreads against the Orlando Magic. Another monster game from Giannis but a bit different by shooting 3/4 at distance.
Brooklyn Nets. Ergh. After 3 consecutive losses of my bets, I guess I am done with them for now. If there will be a change on their next games then I might go back and bet for them.

4/5 nice won.

Just my Chicago bet lost, I had a good night last night.

Yes, Schroder shine in this game, yeah, we all know that he is a good player, and we are aware that he was given a huge contract by the Lakers or at least offered him but he turn it down.

And now he is proving his worth again as a Lakers, so let's see how he will do the rest of the season. They are battling it out since Lebron and Davis are out and he is one of the anchor of their offense now.

It was a great start for the Lakers winning without Davis and LeBron. Schroder led the team in scoring with 26 points, and I believe this guy really deserves a good contract as he is a true definition of consistency. Although OKC is not a top team, they are still a good team. That's why I said it was a big win for the Lakers.

Exactly, that's the word, consistency!
 
I believe all the Lakers players will do anything to win, but the trick is that, as they are playing as much as they can, there could be a possibility that some player will be injured.
Darvin Ham will have to carry out a great administration and manage to rotate the players, so that they are not overloaded.

Well, in my humble opinion I believe the Lakers will reach the playoffs in this season, maybe get a 7 seed or 8 seed.

Nice bet there mate, It was close in the end but Phoenix were already comfortable, and Durant still put up some show despite just returning after a long time being out, although it still doesn't suggest that Phoenix Suns would have it any easy down the stretch or during the post season, this Charlotte Hornets team are barely a team that's worth considering the decent test for the Suns.

I'm taking the Hornets live betting at 18.5 at 1.95 odds. Phoenix and specially Durant is making a killing out of this helpless Hornets.

But maybe there could be garbage time leader and hopefully they can manage and squeeze in some points to make the score close and not let their fans disappointed with a blow up lost again.

It is what it is I guess. I mean we've seen upsets in NBA already, and this one's no difference. Try and bet again because the Bulls (your team) will be facing the Pistons, one of the bottom teams right now, but take note that the Spurs beat the Jazz yesterday, and the Pistons also beat the Warriors on the road. Good luck.

Here are my bet's for today's ballgame:

Miami Heat - Philadelphia 76ers - Philadelphia 76ers
- The Sixers want a revenge because they lost to them a few days ago. I think they will get this one on the road. They've made some adjustments already for sure. If they lose "again" to the Heat, then there's a problem already with the team. They might lose though if Embiid will not play because currently, he is questionable to play.

Oklahoma City Thunder - Los Angeles Lakers - Los Angeles Lakers
- The Lakers need wins, or they will not make it into the play-in tournament. They must play and win even without Lebron and Russell. They need somebody that can step up offensively, and there are some players who are capable of doing that. Davis is one, but he needs another one like maybe Beasley or Schroeder. I think they will win on this one even on the road.

Portland Trail Blazers - New Orleans Pelicans - Portland Trail Blazers
- The Pelicans right now are on a 3 game losing streak, and they are playing on the road where they only have 10-21 record. Blazers on the other hand have 17-14 home record which is slightly better. I also think that the Blazers need this win after that loss against the Warriors yesterday.

Good Luck to all bettors.
