I'm a bit curious about the line of Denver vs Timberwolves. Can anyone explain why Denver is only -1.5 knowing how good they are and the Wolves are struggling? I get that they are into a back-to-back game, but as long as Jokic will not rest, I think they will likely dominate the Wolves.

And also, Jokic will not have a  heavy load carrying the team because they have Murray who fill the points stats already.
No one is listed on the player props for Denver Nuggets yet, only Anthony Edwards is there which is something to doubt about. Most of the time they already input the list especially if the game will be that early. KCP is still the only one listed as day-to-day injury. Other than that, no other reports yet.
This is risky as the spreads are questionable.

6 games later. Place your picks brothers.
Indiana Pacers - Cleveland Cavaliers - Cleveland Cavaliers (-5.5) Tyrese Haliburton may be back but the Cavaliers are still the stronger team between the two. The Pacers are good playing at home but so do the Cavs playing on the road with a 10-16 record.

New York Knicks - Philadelphia 76ers - Philadelphia 76ers (-2.5) Playing it safe at -2.5 while Joel Embiid is in questionable status. 76ers could win with Harden and Harris but I don't think it will be too far against the Knicks.

Memphis Grizzlies - Toronto Raptors - Memphis Grizzlies (-3.5) Anunoby is out for the Raptors, and the Grizzlies have Morant and Jackson under questionable. I am optimistic though, that both players will still be able to play. Fingers crossed. For those who want to make sure, do bet before game time.

Good luck.

The Nuggets just released their forecasted line-up and injury report for the game versus the Timberwolves tomorrow, and I found out that their report contains the same when they faced the Hawks earlier today. But there's a change on the handicap because they are now +2.5 while the Wolves is now the favorite to win by the bookies.

If you want to bet on this one, just do a live betting mate to minimize your risk or if you don't have time to watch the game then it's better to skip it because Jokic and Gordon is probable.

Home record, back-to-back games, or possible that there is something that we bettors don't know. Cheesy

The best reason that I know is the home record of the Wolves. There was a time where the Wolves had an 8 straight home game wins (correct me if I'm wrong because I'm not sure with the number, but I'm pretty sure it happened), and the record of the Wolves at home is 19-12. Not that impressive, but I guess enough.

Maybe the fact that the Nuggets are playing back to back might affect their performance as well. I mean they are just humans and just after their game on their home against the Hawks, they will rest a few hours and then travel 14 hours and 8 minutes just to go to Minnesota. I mean just imagine the tiredness of the players. That might also be the reason as well. With this, we might see players not playing for the Nuggets and will give most of the time to their role players thus, affects the odds of gambling websites. Again we don't know. Cheesy

Aside from coming from a back-to-back game, the Timberwolves are playing at home, and is a hard match-up against the Denver Nuggets. The Denver Nuggets are still expected to win though. On stake.com, Nuggets odds are listed @ 2.18 Moneyline. I think there is news that Jokic will not be playing but if you want to be sure, confirm if Jokic is playing before making the bets.



Won my 3 legged parlay today and all with good odds too.

New Orleans Pelicans vs Los Angeles Lakers
Detriot Pistons vs Phoenix Suns
New York Knicks vs Los Angeles Clippers

I initially wanted to bet on Lakers but eventually changed to Pelicans. James was listed questionable but played in the game. Luckily, even with Lebron playing, the Pelicans were able to defend their home.

Only bookmakers knows that, but if you are in doubt, better skip this game and just watch without bet.
Hopefully you'll still enjoy.  Grin

It will be easier for him to finish a triple-double every night as that points and rebounds are already guaranteed, he'll just have to work on the assist which he's been doing pretty well so far based on their previous games. Murray being back to his old self is a huge success not only for him but for the team as that will make them ready in the playoffs, of course, Porter Jr. is also back to normal.

Here is the result of the pick for games today,

Brooklyn Nets VS Washington Wizards SCORE 125 - 123 - LOST

The Washington Wizards have a chance in giving their all to the Nets because the Brooklyn Nets don't have Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant they are leading the 1st half until the Brooklyn Nets started to gain momentum because of Cam Thomas, so even without Irving and Durant the Nets have won a close game against the Wizards, Nic Claxton got a double-double of 13 rebounds and 15 points, Edmond Sumner got 29 points and Cam Thomas got 44 points leading the Nets to victory,

New Orleans Pelicans VS Los Angeles Lakers SCORE 131 - 126 - LOST

The Lakers are going ballistic in the 1st half of the game until the Pelicans cut it short in the 2nd half but it was a close game Pelicans have proven even without Zion Williamson other teams don't have to underestimate them, Trey Murphy III got 21 points, CJ McCollum got 23 points and Brandon Ingram got 35 winning the game against the Lakers, that has Anthony Davis,

Golden State Warriors VS Dallas Mavericks SCORE 119 - 113 - WIN

In a close game against the Dallas Mavericks, now without Luka Doncic, the Golden State Warriors are leading the game in the 1st quarter, with over 17 points then the Mavericks have made momentum but the Warriors didn't allow it, winning this game, Klay Thompson got 14 points, Draymond Green got 17 points, and Stephen Curry got 21 points winning the game against a Maverick that doesn't have any Luka Doncic,

Denver Nuggets VS Atlanta Hawks SCORE 128 - 108 - WIN

From start to finish the Denver Nuggets are in the league, and the Atlanta Hawks can not make any lead, Nikola Jokic has a triple-double for this game of 18 rebounds 10 assists, and 14 points, Aaron Gordon got 15 points, Michael Porter Jr. got 23 points and Jamal Murray got 41 points solidly winning the game against an Atlanta Hawk that doesn't have Trae Young,

I also never see the Nets with that huge comeback, but also it has something to do with Kuzma getting injured. Unfortunately, I totally missed the game last night, not a single bet, but I could have bet on that Wizards knowing that Kyrie is not going to play.
I read in an article saying that Kyrie will never play with the Nets again, even if he is not traded.
So going forward, let us not expect that we will see Kyrie playing with his current team, and that also means that the Nets will never go to the playoffs.

I've won on another game, it was the Bulls having a big come back as well and I was able to get 3.25 ML.

So again, congrats to the rest of the winners. Some games are early in my timezone.

My early picks is:

Hornets vs Magic - I think Hornets will have to do better, they might win at home -1.5 @1.95.

Good luck, this is a tough one as Magic is a tough team to beat.

Thanks for sharing some details about the upcoming games mate, we really appreciate you for sharing to us your advance picks and its information regarding the possible line-up of the selected match-up.

That said, I'll be riding with you for the Warriors (-10.5) as I do think as well that they can cover the given handicap without any huge struggles as Luka and Wood was already ruled out while Spencer is questionable. And to add that, it will be Clippers (-3.0) because I have a feeling that J. Brunson might rest in this game.
You're Welcome.
But, the Warriors seem to always fail us at closing games. Sure, they lost Steph Curry in the 3rd quarter of the game due to a foot/knee injury but their lead is 20 points and they got careless at protecting it. We could've hit that -10.5 if only someone had stepped up his game. Kuminga did, but they let Draymond shoot the threes when it should've been Klay who is doing that.

2/3 for my early bets, I was expecting a perfect one though.
Chicago Bulls had a little problem from the Trail Blazers' resistance but they covered the spread. Vucevic, LaVine, and DeRozan combined 86 points, this should be their normal stats every game. Thankfully, LaVine woke up again after a bad scoring on his last 2 games.

Denver Nuggets also covered the spread without a problem. Jamal Murray closed the gates for the Hawks to come back after he managed to shoot 3 three-pointers. A monster game for him with 41 points and we could really say he is back.

Anyone here get trap on the Wizards vs Nets?, no Kyrie and the Nets are depleted, but Cam Thomas huge 44 points for the Nets.

They make a great comeback from the Wizards to be able win this game. Morris missed both crucial free throws to at least time the game. And in the rebounds it was a scramble but Nets come up with a big rebound to seal the win.
Cam Thomas? The one who upset the Knicks last season when they Nets are down also by 25, but made a comeback on the road. Maybe some can't remember it anymore, but Stephen A. Smith was upset on the Knicks at what happened to them and his disappointment was on Youtube Cheesy. Kind of funny to me that I can't forget it.

Well, it's a bit surprising, but seeing both teams, Kuzma was also out in the 2nd quarter and didn't return because of an ankle sprain and it's only Porzingis that is the all-star there. Anyway, it's the three-point shooting in the 2nd half that made the Nets made a comeback, and the heroic performance of Cam Thomas. A trivia, Cam Thomas is the 3rd Nets player who scored 40 or more off the bench. They knew that he can be the guy that can step up when needed. It's just sad that he isn't a consistent player maybe because he doesn't been given that much time to play.

Anyway, good comeback win for the Nets and that is without Irving who is making a drama again. Cheesy Congratulations to all winners of their bets as well. Smiley

New Orleans Pelicans vs Los Angeles Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers (25-28) will visit the New Orleans Pelicans (26-27) tonight at Smoothie King Center. Lebron James is questionable at this game due to an ankle injury, probably saving his legs for the big moment at home against the Thunder.

Lakers key injuries: Austin Reaves (hamstring) out, Russell Westbrook (non Covid illness) questionable, Lebron James (ankle) questionable
Pelicans key injuries: Dyson Daniels (ankle) out, Zion Williamson (hamstring) out

Detriot Pistons vs Phoenix Suns

The Phoenix Suns (28-26) will visit the Detriot Pistons (14-39) tonight at Little Caesars Arena. The Phoenix Suns are the favorite to win this game.

New York Knicks vs Los Angeles Clippers

The LA Clippers (29-26) will visit the New York Knicks tonight at Madison Square Garden. The Knicks are the worst team at home going at 13-14.

Clippers key injuries: John Wall (abdomen) out
Knicks key injuries: Jalen Brunson (illness) questionable, Mitchell Robinson (thumb) out

Another piss poor night of betting last night rough week continues.  But tonight is a new night right Smiley

I've laid off betting my knicks but them giving 3.5 points at home seems like a stretch.  Knicks +3.5. Kawhi will have a big night but knicks prevail by 2!

Gimme golden state by 10 at home.  No luka= worst team in the NBA.  Dallas is God awful without Luka on the floor.  Gs wins easily.

Heat on the road +5.5 against the Bucks.  Jimmy buckets hot held down in NY expect a big game out of him and a close game.

Last (for now) I like the Nuggets-7.5 at home against the Hawks.  Tough matchup here but think Denver pulls it out.

Good luck everyone!

Pistons vs Charlotte game was very close, it was down to the wire. About the Sixers game, that was an easy win by the 76ers, I guess they are top 3 in the teams that has a good percentage of covering the spread.
Yeah, it was a close one. I was waiting for PJ Washington to be explosive again but it turned out I was expecting nothing. That's two games now without double-digit points while playing 35+ minutes.

9 games later guys. Place your picks.
I saw one crazy spread and I think the Mavericks team will be undermanned against the Warriors.
Golden State Warriors - Dallas Mavericks - Golden State Warriors (-10.5) - Luka out, Dinwiddie questionable, Bertans out, and Christian Wood out.
Frank Ntilikina will probably do the playmaking with Tim helping for the offense. Where is Kemba Walker? I don't see him on their roster.

Denver Nuggets - Atlanta Hawks - Denver Nuggets (-5.5) Jokic questionable, Gordon also questionable. Time for Murray to shine brighter and does MPJ. Back-to-back games for the Hawks after winning against the Jazz yesterday.

Chicago Bulls - Portland Trail Blazers - Chicago Bulls (-4.5) - Vucevic is probable but I think he will play, I saw his name available for player props and I think it's a good sign. Another back-to-back game for the Trail Blazers. Bulls should take advantage of their exhaustion.

Good luck everyone.

I guess the spread of the Celtics was so attractive to trap bettors, LOL. I didn't expect that the Suns will have a huge lead at the early quarters, it seems like this team gets better and better against a strong team, I also remember when they have double figure underdog against the Memphis, but they came out strong and dominate the home team.

On the Wizards bet, it was a big disapointment because they just can't protect their lead, they're up 20 points and lose by 8 points in the end.

I also don't trust the Phoenix Suns keeping a lead, they sometimes gradually lose it when their opponent immediately catches up to them, but they can surely play under pressure, but that is if Devin Booker was not on the team, but for the Celtics, I really think that they just have a bad day that time, because for me compared to the Suns the Celtics sometimes is consistent,

While the Wizards this is very common for them if they become pressured they will sometimes lose their Rhythm and now their opponent gained momentum,



Now here are my picks for today's game,

Brooklyn Nets VS Washington Wizards

The stake odds for this game are 1.90 for the Nets and 1.94 for the Wizards, Right now Kyrie Irving, Ben Simmons, and Kevin Durant can not play for the Nets, and T.J. Warren is questionable if he can play for them, while Anthony Gill, can not play for the Wizards and Bradley Beal is questionable for the Wizard is he can play, so for this game because Irving and Durant can not play for the Nets this is surely noticeable my pick are the Wizards,

New Orleans Pelicans VS Los Angeles Lakers

The stake odds for this game are 1.83 for the Pelicans and 2.03 for the Lakers, Right now Dyson Daniels, Zion Williamson, and E.J. Liddell can not play for the Pelicans, while Austin Reaves still can not play for the Lakers, and Scotty Pippen Jr., Anthony Davis, LeBron James, and Russell WestBrick are all questionable if they can play for this one I will wait for further announcement of Lebron, Davis or even WestBrick if they can play but for now I will pick the Lakers winning this game,

Golden State Warriors VS Dallas Mavericks

The stake odds for this game are 1.21 for the Warriors and 4.60 for the Mavericks, Right now Andre Iguodala, can not play for the Warriors, and Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, Stephen Curry, and Patrick Baldwin Jr. are all questionable if they can play  for the Warriors while Davis Bertans, Christian Wood, Luka Doncic, and Maxi Kleber can not play for the Mavericks, for this game you know me even Luka Doncic can play I will still go with the Warriors, but for this game Curry, Green and Thompson can surely rest this game, but still my pick are the Warriors,

Denver Nuggets VS Atlanta Hawks

The stake odds for this game are 1.43 for the Nuggets and 2.95 for the Hawks, for this game Jack White, and Collin Gillespie, can not play for the Nuggets, and Bones Hyland, Aaron Gordon, and Nikola Jokic is questionable if they can play for the Nuggets while Trae Young is questionable if he can play, in this game I tend to change my pick if Nikola Jokic can not play for the Nuggets and Trae Young for the Hawks, but my pick for now is the Denver Nuggets,

They are inconsistent yes, because we are expecting them to lose and yet what we had witnessed was the opposite of our expectations.
Big win by the Suns, they really have that pride that they are a good team, sometimes they lose big, sometimes they win big, and it happened in this game.

And that's the usual Phoenix Suns being themselves, inconsistent and unpredictable, that is why they are able to win big time sometimes as teams in the league could be underestimating them because they are out of synch and rarely in a good condition. Still, I'd classify them as a risky team when it comes to betting on their games.

Sharing my picks for the games later,

Los Angeles Clippers -2.5 vs New York Knicks
Atlanta Hawks vs Denver Nuggets -6

Terrible week gambling here.  Going to take it down to just 2 games tonight hoping for at least a 2/3 to get back on track.

3 home teams 2 favorites and 1 dog

Wizards -3
Boston -10.5, how can't you take this team lol
And last gimme the Rockets +8 at home.  That's a lot of points to give while at home.

Good luck everyone.

that is why I haven't made my bet for today's game, I am taking a break for today's game but still going to watch the action from the comfort of my home,

Celtics got decimated at home against a relatively weaker team. Can you imagine how many frustrated and angry individuals are at the time when that last 30 seconds of the 4th quarter ran? Gladly I didn't bet today since I just got home from vacation. This is the highlight upset of the day. Even my friends who regularly bet on the NBA cannot believe how Suns managed to beat Celtics with double-digit lead. It's shocking, but knowing how inconsistent the Suns are in their past games, this may be one of the games where they just perform good.
