I like that parlay all day everyday.  IQ is going to get a lot of run in this game, his last couple weeks he has been on fire.  Thibs is using him as a true 6th man.  Just need the Knicks to come through with the win.  What's the odds on that parlay you got?

Sorry mate, I hope you're much better now!

The Phoenix Suns will be in high spirits and it will be the exact opposite for the Charlotte Hornets who have just lost their best player in Lamelo Ball to injury, but I'll likely be go more on the live bet on this game instead of predicting early, we're still looking at how Durant will slot in to the Phoenix Suns with altering their chemistry and make every player complement each other, they've already got a decent scorer in Booker, a facilitator in CP3, and then there is an almost all round perfect center in Ayton, so adding KD to that team could almost signal a near perfect and championship worthy roster, but we all saw what happened at Brooklyn Net with the Harden, Kyrie and Durant roster, so pardon me, this match up and Boston vs Cavaliers are both my game of significant interest this night, but I choose to err on the side caution with the Suns.

∆ I. Quickley 10+ points / I. Quickley 1+ 3pts / Knicks ML @1.88 ∆   won


It would be an understatement to say that the Knicks' last couple of games has gone extremely well. They are coming off an impressive win over the Celtics, an almost perfect month of February, and a six-game winning streak that is second only to the Bucks' 15. With three straight losses and being on back-to-back games tonight, i don't see the Nets doing much, so i'm picking the Knicks to win.
I had Quickley in a parlay with Randle against Boston, taking him at 10 points and at least 1 3pt again. He's seen double-digit scoring in each of his /L7 and has put up 1+ 3pt in 7/L7 @43% shooting.

What a frustrating ass Chicago Bulls versus Toronto Raptors game last night was..at least if you're a Chicago Bulls fan like myself.  I put a few bucks down on the Bulls feeling that they kind of hit their stride after signing Patrick Beverly and dropping Dragic, but man they blew several opportunities given to them by the Raptors.  Being up for a while, then pulling within 2-4 points several times in the 3rd and 4th, only to see some sloppy game play and silly mistake..not to mention just a lack of..I dunno, I guess talent.  The Bulls are the more talent team, at least more talent starting 5...shouldn't be losing to the Raptors smh.

Not feeling well yesterday, so I skip everything. For tonight's game,

Suns vs Hornets, - Durant's debut as Phoenix Suns, -9.5 @1.85
Knicks vs Nets - Nets 7.5 @1.92
Cavs vs Celtics - Cavs 4.5 @2.04
Grizzlies vs Houston - Memphis -9.5 @1.88

My picks for tonight.

Charlotte Hornets vs Phoenix Suns (-9.5) = Phoenix Suns Win 1,81 Odds.

Detroit Pistons vs Chicago Bulls (-5.5) = Chicago Bulls Win 1,84 Odds.

New York Knicks (-6.5) vs Brooklyn Nets = New York Knicks Win 1,77 Odds.

Milwaukee Bucks (-1.5) vs Orlando Magic = First Quarter Win 1,72 Odds.

Milwaukee Bucks (-7.5) vs Orlando Magic = Milwaukee Bucks Win 1,84 Odds.

Good luck guys.

Yeah, I will take that Phoenix Suns pick. Thank you for the heads-up about the injuries.
Charlotte Hornets - Phoenix Suns - Phoenix Suns (-10.5) - Kevin Durant's debut, I am expecting a lot from him in this game, it might turn out as a blowout.
Going the other way.
New York Knicks - Brooklyn Nets - Brooklyn Nets (6.5) This team are not just hungry, they are ravenous after the 3rd losing streak against the Bucks. They did well in the first half of that game but just gave it up which made it easy for the Bucks to claim a win.
Following this one but with spreads injected for better gains.
Milwaukee Bucks - Orlando Magic - Milwaukee Bucks (-7.5) Khris Middleton will not play but I think the roster left should be enough to continue their long winning streak. 16 if they win this one.
Good luck everyone.

Charlotte Hornets vs Phoenix Suns
The Charlotte Hornetss (20-43) will host the visiting Phoenix Suns (33-29) at Spectrum Center tonight. Kevin Durant is expected to play tonight and make his debut with the Phoenix Suns. The Suns should win with ease.
Suns key injuries: Landry Shamet (foot) out
Hornets key injuries: Lamelo Ball (ankle) out, PJ Washington (foot) doubtful

New York Knicks vs Brooklyn Nets
The New York Knicks (36-27) will host the visiting Brooklyn Nets (34-27) tonight at Madison Square Garden. The New York Knicks are shooting great and won their last 3 games after the All-star. The reverse is with the Nets. Their shooting percentage has dropped and they lost their last 3 games since the All-Stars.
Nets key injuries: Ben Simmons (knee) out

Boston Celtics  vs Cleveland Cavaliers
The Boston Celtics (44-18) will host the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers (39-25) tonight at TD Garden. These two teams will go head-to-head and it is hard to be confident on which team will win. I am betting on the home team to be better.
Celtics key injuries: Mike Muscala (Knee) questionable


Milwaukee Bucks vs Orlando Magic
The Milwaukee Bucks (44-17) will host the visiting Orlando Magic (26-36) tonight at Fiserv Forum. I do not expect an upset with the Bucks at full strength. They are 26-5 at home and this game should be another win for the Bucks.
Magic key injuries: Jonathan Isaac (hamstring) questionable
Bucks key injuries: Wesley Matthews (calf) out

Took last night off here are my picks for tonight.  Gimme the Knicks at home -8 vs the Nets.  I feel like this can be close but the Knicks defense is playing as good as it ever has, think they win by double digits tonight.

Okc at home vs Lakers.  -3.5 and without AD or lebron.  Think the young okc squad comes through tonight further burying the Lakers into the bottom.

Then last but definitely not least.  Gimme the Suns only laying -10 in Durant first appearance.  Charlotte goes runnerless without ball on the court.  And the Suns are gonna be jamming.  Could see them winning by 20 just on adrenaline.

Good luck and enjoy the games everyone!

^ No pick for the Suns game? With no LaMelo Ball out there and Durant added to the Suns I think that should be an easy win for Phoenix. Hopefully Durant plays and finds his way into the offense without things being too sloppy. If so, they should easily beat the Ball-less Hornets. A shame for the Ball family that both LaMelo and Lonzo are currently out with injuries.

Here are my picks for today's game

Detroit Pistons VS Chicago Bulls

The stake odds for this game are 2.90 for the Pistons and 1.43 for the Bulls, right now Isaiah Stewart, and Jalen Duren can not play for the Pistons, and Bojan Bogdanovic, and Isaiah Livers, are doubtful they can play for the Pistons, while Javonte Green can not play for the Bulls, for this game we all know the record of the Pistons, while the Chicago Bulls doesn't have many injuries and surely I think that the Bulls could win this so my pick is the Chicago Bulls,

Miami Heat VS Philadelphia 76ers

The stake odds for this game are 2.10 for the Heat and 1.78 for the 76ers, Right now Kyle Lowry, Omer Yurtseven, and Nikola Jovic can not play for the Heat, and Max Strus and Kevin Love are doubtful if they can play for the Heat, while Dewayne Dedmon can not play for the 76ers, for this game the Miami Heat had many injuries than the 76ers, for me, there is a huge possibility for the 76ers winning this game so my pick is the 76ers,

Boston Celtics VS Cleveland Cavaliers

The stake odds for this game are 1.48 for the Celtics and 2.75 for the Cavaliers, Right now Danilo Gallinari, can not play for the Celtics and Mike Muscala is doubtful if he can play while the Cleaveland Cavaliers doesn't have any injuries, for this game I really don't want to underestimate the Cavaliers, but right now because the tandem of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown can play my pick is the Boston Celtics,

Milwaukee Bucks VS Orlando Magic

The stake odds for this game are 1.33 for the Bucks and 3.50 for the Magic, Right now Wesley Matthews is doubtful if he can play for the Bucks, While Jonathan Isaac is doubtful as well on the side of the Magic, for this game I think that Giannis Antetokounmpo can now play but can he be 100% better, maybe he can but I think they will not force Giannis to hurt himself again, but my pick is the Milwaukee Bucks,

Nice early picks you won there. Congratulations.
2/3 for my own early picks.
Grizzlies somehow covered the -10.5 thanks to Ja Morant going hot in the 3rd quarter, breaking his own career record with 28 points in just one quarter. Damn Monster.
Nuggets covered the spread too without a problem.
Brooklyn Nets lost against the Bucks. It's a bit sad because they had a good 10-point lead and preserved it for quite some time. But the Bucks are just too much for them. Cam Thomas seems hesitant to shoot too. Coach Vaughn was already shouting at him to shoot the damn ball and yet he waited for the defense to come.

I got lucky with a bet builder for the Golden State Warriors versus Portland Trail Blazers game. Flexing it. 

"Yes, but not much. I fell for the Dallas Mavericks bet again. I thought they would win by a good margin since they had already tasted victory when both Kyrie and Luka were playing. However, this game they went back to their old struggles, which cost me money. It's hard to trust this team. The good thing is that I won my Kings and Nuggets bet.

It wasn't the Grizzlies only that was sloppy on the first half, but got the victory.

I thought that Giannis will not play on the Bucks tonight, but he played and just dominated against Claxton and the whole Nets team as if he didn't have any right hand injury at all. He scored 33 points and got 15 rebounds on only 28 minutes of playing. The Nets can't protect their double digit lead in the 1st half, and got destroyed in the 2nd half scoring only 42 points against 66 from the Bucks.

Aside from the Bucks, the Warriors as well had a double digit deficit after the 1st half, but they dominated the 2nd half and got the victory on their home. Fans are happy, I'm happy, Coach Kerr is happy, players are happy. I wonder why Coach Billups didn't make any adjustments on the 2nd half.

---

Anyway, here are the results of my bets.
Toronto Raptors - Chicago Bulls - Chicago Bulls - LOST
- The Bulls had it and got the lead, but I guess they ran out of gas thus, losing to the Raptors on the road. Good game still

Oklahoma City Thunder - Sacramento Kings - Sacramento Kings - WIN
- The Kings got a double digit lead in the 1st half, but the Thunder are able to make some small runs on it. One time, they are tied at the 8 minute mark of the game and after that, the Kings just dominated the Thunder thus, winning the game on the road. Good win for me as well.

Brooklyn Nets - Milwaukee Bucks - Brooklyn Nets - WIN
- I really thought that the Nets can break the streak of the Bucks knowing that they are up double digits after the first half, but I was wrong. Giannis just dominated the whole Nets team, and my risky bet lost.

Golden State Warriors - Portland Trail Blazers - Golden State Warriors - WIN
- I already put a bet here before the game and while watching it, I again put another bet on them so I put 2 bets on the Warriors, and I didn't regret it like their last game where I bet to the Timberwolves. Lucky, lucky.

How's your bets? Anybody coming out with profits today? .

Sad to say but the Utah Jazz lost the game it was really a close game but the San Antonio Spurs just got a great spread than the Jazz did and Jordan Clarkson and Ochai Agbaji were added to doubtful if they can play the game, and they didn't play for today's game, for me if Jordan Clarkson along with Lauri Markkanen could be playing the big spread of points will surely be on those 2, but surely this means that the San Antonio Spurs just have the upper hand when it comes to their spread of points, but at least you got your bet correct,


Even though they got the 3rd quarter against the Memphis Grizzlies, it was not enough, and because Lebron James and D'Angelo Russell didn't play for this game the Lakers had a rough time in keeping up with the Grizzlies, for the next game against the Oklahoma Thunders maybe they will have a chance in winning, against them even though Lebron James and D'Angelo Russell can not play for tomorrows games

Memphis Grizzlies were sloppy during the first half so it wasn't really surprising that Lakers were to take a slight advantage, Grizzlies are in a much comfortable lead now with 9 points heading into the 4th Quarter, I didn't take the bet and I really wouldn't have considered it a worthy bet imo though.



You probably couldn't have won any bet more easily on the Lakers this season than this right ?, I mean you wouldn't have a much worries about the bet as  Beasley had his first steal before halfway into the first quarter, all left was Dennis Schroder and he didn't fail you, just a couple of minutes in the 3rd your bet had been won already, nice one mate, you've got em' on this one!

Any surprise by the Lakers taking the halftime lead?

Or anyone here willing to make a bet for them at ML currently at 2.60?

And also the Nets taking a 10 point lead against Giannis lead Bucks and the winning streak is on the line tonight against a new Brooklyn team.

∆ L. Markkanen 20+ points / Kessler 2+ blocks / THT 4+ assists @1.75 ∆   X

If it ain't broke, don't fix it, so i'm sticking with my Markkanen/Kessler combo for their second consecutive game against the Spurs. Kessler dominated the glass, leading both teams in rebounds and blocks, while Markkanen led both teams in scoring and field goal attempts. I'm expecting more of the same today. Since Clarkson is out and the Jazz don't have many guards available, i'm adding Horton-Tucker's assists. THT is averaging 6.4 assists /L7 and has covered 4+ assists in 7/L7.


∆ D. Schröder 10+ points / D. Schröder 6+ assists / M. Beasley 1+ steals @2.40 ∆  won

This should be a lot of fun! Yall remember their last game, Shannon Sharpe's courtside altercation with Grizz players, and the Lakers' fourth-quarter comeback win. I've already got my popcorn ready! It's no surprise that this game is the headlining TNT's double header tonight.

With Bron and DLo out, D. Schröder is the one who has to carry all of the Lakers' playmaking duties, 10 and 6 ain't nothing. He had 25 and 12 in his last game without LeBron (vs. Bucks). As a Laker, Malik Beasley averages nearly two steals per game, i expect him to get at least one today and extend his perfect streak.

Unfortunately, all of my picks failed me so sorry about that I might be lucky the other day but yesterday's game was not for me it happens all the time when you anticipate that team to win they will not, I should have bet for the Miami Heat because Jaylen Brown couldn't play and The New York Knicks doesn't have any injuries I might have underestimated them so much,

---

Now here is the devastating result from yesterday's game I am taking a break from betting for now,

Philadelphia 76ers VS Miami Heat SCORE 99 - 101 - LOST

I can't imagine the 76ers losing this but the match was really a close game and Jimmy Butler is doing his all by gaining the momentum yeah the Heat got a great spread in making a lead, and Max Strus, and Bam Adebayo both got 13 points, Gabe Vincent got 14 points and Jimmy "Buckets" Butler has a double-double of 11 rebounds and 23 points winning the game,

New York Knicks VS Boston Celtics SCORE 109 - 94 - LOST

In another close game, Boston Celtics don't have Jaylen Brown but I still not anticipated them losing I surely am underestimating the New York Knicks so much, but it was a close game both teams had a great spread so I can not argue on that Jalen Brunson got 17 points, while Immanuel Quickley and Julius Randle both got 23 points

New Orleans Pelicans VS Orlando Magic SCORE 93 - 101 - LOST

So much for the underestimated team I surely don't regard Orlando Magic made it to the playoffs that are why I never bet for them but not having Zion Williamson is a great loss for the Pelicans but it was a close game for these two teams,

Yeah I agree with you on the assesment of the Chicago Bulls.  Ever since signing Patrick Beverly they've looked like a bit different of a team.  Sure they only played two games so far and they played against some not so great teams, but the way they played I feel like says more than who they played. 

Yeah when it comes to the Bucks vs the Nets, at this point I think Giannis could beat the Nets all by himself lol.  I have no faith in the Nets moving foward.
