Not for me, I said it at the other thread, this Nets are stronger with a deep bench and filled with roleplayers that strengthen their fomer teams. Dinwiddie, Bridges, Johnson, and Finney-Smith. I would love to bet on the Brooklyn Nets, especially now. But what you said about the part about closing games might be right. They are energetic, and they can rain threes which they did today, but in the last part of 4th quarter they cannot stop Joel Embiid, I guess they were all exhausted by all that running and gunning plays. The Nets should try to clean that up because they won't win their games without a good close. They actually had a good lead against the 76ers but they got careless and Embiid massacred them in the paint.

You will get it somehow. I'd bet for the Magic too as long as their opponent is within their reach to win. Like Hornets, Rockets, etc. They just lack experience but they will be better in a couple of years.

76ers are lucky that the last shot did not count, this game could have gone to OT and we never know what will happen from there.

Thomas is now back to his usual average, but the good thing about the Nets is they have plenty of scorers, this game it was Bridges who led the team with 23 points. I think they will be underdog in most of their games, so if they'll continue to cover the spread, then that should make the bettors profitable.

The bet with the 76ers hit in the end but then I guess it was quite a game to watch, I'd say the Brooklyn are now very underrated by we bettors, that young team are so full of energy and seem better from having KD and Kyrie on the floor, but then perhaps the lack the ability to close out games, but it would have been a very well worthy win if they had won the game.

Not so much for tonight just 2 games and we're all up for the Super Bowl. Memphis Grizzlies vs Boston Celtics should be an interesting game to see before the Super Bowl.

Well, I got 3 out of 4 wins, surely the Wizards have won their game pretty much the Washington Wizards really are something for breaking the Pacers from start to finish the Pacers can not make any lead, which causes the Indiana Pacers to lose this game,

While Lebron James was pretty much shocked and at the same time excited to see this new Lakers team on the run and he was really surprised about what happened, the Warrior's Draymond Green is pretty much working right now it was a close game against the Lakers for sure,

Here are my picks for today's game

Brooklyn Nets VS Philadelphia 76ers SCORE 98 - 101 - WIN

Now that the Brooklyn Nets don't have Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving anymore, the result was a devastated Nets, but surely the Nets are still racking up with Mikal Bridges on the team, but it was not enough with Tyrese Maxey 12 points James Hardens 29 points and Joel Embiids double-double of 13 rebounds and 37 points winning against the Nets,

Orlando Magic VS Miami Heat SCORE 103 - 107 - WIN

Surely this is one close game the Orlando Magic was winning the game in the 1st half but in the 2nd half the Miami Heat have taken a great lead and defended the Magic at the same time, Gabe Vincent got 20 points, Jimmy Butler got 22 points, Tyler Herro got 23, and Bam Adebayo had a double-double of 17 rebounds and 13 points,

Washington Wizards VS Indiana Pacers SCORE 127 - 113 - WIN

Pretty much from the start until the game have finish the Washington Wizards were leading the game for sure, and the Wizards has a great spread Deni Avdija had 16 points, Monte Morris got 17 and also Kristaps Porzingis got a double-double of 10 rebounds and 17 points, and Bradley Beal got 32 points,

Golden State Warriors VS Los Angeles Lakers SCORE 103 - 109 LOST

A close game indeed, and I was shocked with the new Los Angeles Lakers Lebron James really is impressed by them as well in winning against a home-court advantage Warriors, because we all know when the Warriors are playing at home D'Angelo Russell 15 points Rui Hachimura got 16 points, and Dennis Schroder got 26 points, that Lebron was much impress the 2 new players for the Lakers it was really awesome, so I think the Warriors will need to get themselves together,

No doubt about that. I'm also seeing some good improvement about their roster since the season started and given the fact that most of the players are young and inexperienced, they are quite good already and giving a hard time to the teams they are facing.

And while they face the Heats earlier, it's evident that they indeed lack the experience because when it comes to crucial and intense moments, they tend to make some mistakes and that makes them vulnerable, and which is why the Heat defeated them in the last minutes. But overall, they are already impressive for me, those mistakes they did will make them stronger next season.

They are in the number 13 standing, but not totally behind, so this team has a chance for a play-in tournament.

They showed their inexperience, they are already ahead a double digit in the 4th quarter, but couple of mistakes resulting to the Heat to come back and tie the game for an OT. There's still next time, so better luck next time, by the way, we have only 2 upcoming games, so not so much fun though.

Magic is a good team this season, so I will not regret backing them every time they'll play.

Well, they lose against the Heat, but it was a close game, they were actually leading, they just have some mistakes that they need to learn to be a matured team. It's a young team but they are competing at a highest level. Anyhow, congratulations to the backers of the heat, they won and cover.

The Kings won against the Mavericks. They spoiled the Luka-Kyrie duo which is their first game playing together.

The Mavericks are a good team on paper, but their defense is very awful. They gave away their good defender in DFS to get Kyrie which isn't that good at defense. Luka and Kyrie are great in offense, but awful in offense. How can you let your opponent score 74 points in the paint? I mean the Mavericks are at the bottom 10 already in defensive rating and they gave away a defender for more offense. I hope that the Mavericks can change their roster, and find a defense-first player that can cover their lack of defense.

Just look at how distribute the offense of the Magic are. 6 players in double-digits. I believe that when this is the kind of offense a team has, they're very hard to stop because you don't know who you will be focusing with. Quite unfortunate that they lost to the Heat on their home, but it's a close one and I thought that they will win against them again. Anyway, I'll try to bet again on the Magic depending on their opponent/s.

Just inexperienced of the part of the Magic here, but they are very young and hopefully they could learn from this lost from a good team such as the Heat.

I wasn't able to bet but I'm looking for my Atlanta Hawks game, and if I'm not mistaken, the handicappers put them at a huge -11.5 initial line against the Spurs and I thought it was a trap. But nevertheless they were able to win by 19 big points.

Damn, yeah, was watching the game, Magic had a good lead about 7 and last three minutes of the game and I thought that I'm going to hit my parlay. But they allow the Heat a run of 16-6 if I'm not mistaken and it was the start of the run in that last three minutes of the game.

Bachero has a chance to win the game, but he miss a bank shot. Hopefully they were able to hold on the last seconds and not allow the Heat to score. But in OT they are just out of it.

2/4. Not bad.

Kings and Mavs still battling in OT. Luka back. Very entertaining game.

Miami Heat just enough to win the game against the Orlando Magic.
Indiana Pacers still cannot get the win that they want against the Washington Wizards. That's their 4th losing streak.
Cleveland Cavaliers covering the spreads without a problem against the Chicago Bulls. Damn, this team had never let me down yet whenever I bet for them.
Golden State Warriors losing at their home. The Lakers seem pretty strong now with their new player additions. DLo especially who helped a lot on the offensive end.
Congratulations to all the winners.

I was fortunate enough to ride with the Lakers today, glad to see them winning again and just like what I've expected, the new additional of the Lakers will be having a good debut.

Jarred Vanderbilt and D'Angelo Russell registered a good contribution on the game today as well as Rui Hachimura for having double digits. But the main highlight was Dennis Schroder, although I didn't expect it because I thought that AD will be the one who will dominate most. Overall, it was a good game for the purple and gold.

Almost mate, the Heat vs Magic was quite intense. I don't know what was wrong with the Magic today because suddenly, they lost their consistency after having a good lead in the 1st half and they kept on making mistake which the Heat took that as an advantage to chase them down until the game went Overtime. This time, the Heat didn't gave them a chance to lead and ended the game in their favor.

Sixers handicap fully covered, congratulations to all who got their bets correct.

Update: Los Angeles Lakers vs Golden State Warriors = LAL wins (109-103)

No gonna lie the magic have been showing some good performance and could pull one against the Heat, but I'm not so good at betting against the Miami Heat in this kind of match up...

Orlando Magic vs Miami Heat
The Orlando Magic (23-33) will host the visiting Miami Heat (31-25) tonight at Amway Center. The Heat are struggling on the road while the Magic are coming off an impressive win against the Nuggets. I am favoring the Magic to win at home in this match up.
Heat key injuries: Kyle Lowry (knee) out, Victor Oladipo (ankle) out, Duncan Robinson (finger) out
Magic key injuries: Patrick Beverly (not with team) out, Garry Harris (thigh) questionable

Sacramento Kings vs Dallas Mavericks
The Sacramento Kings (31-24) will host the visiting Dallas Mavericks (31-26) tonight at Golden 1 Center. The Mavericks are 12-17 on the road while the Kings are 16-12 at home. The Kings lost the first meeting but hopefully will not be swept in their consecutive games against the Mavericks.
Mavs key injuries: Luka Doncic (heel) questioanable, Maxi Kleber (hamstring) out, Davis Bertans (calf) out
Kings key injuries: KZ Okpala (knee) questionable, Malik Monk (ankle) questionable

Well, sometimes sh*t happens... and I was convinced that the Nuggets would win easily, but that didn't happen...

Interesting your observation, I didn't know that the Magic managed to win these (hard) games...

Well... the way things are going, I don't doubt Magic will beat Heat in today's game

I'll tail you with that mate, -1.5 now @1.97 is already very attractive. Yeah, with Cam Thomas and Spencer as the new face of the Nets, they might be good, but I think Sixers has enough personnel to win this game.

Magic vs Heat - Magic is one of the most dangerous team right now, and they are the underdogs again in their homecourt so ML @2.05.

So I will also try to parlay this two = 4.04.

Good choice mate, I already got the Cleveland and 76ers on my advance picks. Yet somehow, I still have this thought at the back of my mind that the Nets might explode once again and might defeat the vulnerable 76ers if ever Embiid won't play. (Fingers crossed)

I'll tail you with the Wizards -5.5 and Warriors -3 (Update: LBJ is now ruled out together with Mo Bamba and Pippen Jr.) Good luck guys.

One mistake last time, today I will have more mistakes.  Just kidding.

Lots of early games, I only have a few in my account.
Orlando Magic - Miami Heat - Miami Heat ML
Washington Wizards - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers (3.5)
Cleveland Cavaliers - Chicago Bulls - Cleveland Cavaliers (-3.5)
Golden State Warriors - Los Angeles Lakers - Golden State Warriors (-3.5)

Good luck.

We have got a couple of enticing fixtures for tonight in the NBA, and the first one being between Philadelphia 76ers and Brooklyn Nets.

I like the 76ers -1.5 @ 1.96 Odd, that's all things being equal, but I still have zero information as to why the odds are this even, because I'd expect the 76ers to be clear favourites if they have an all healthy squad regardless of the Nets being having home court advantage or not, they're still pieces trying to fitting together, so I'd take the 76ers here early at -1.5 with the hope there are no major absentees for them.
