Suns had a press conference with newly recruited Kevin Durant this afternoon but since he is still injured, will sit out tonight's match up against the Clippers.

They are slight underdogs but am taking them to win with the over 221.5 pts.

Signing Ross earlier in the day must get them hyped up to win this match so they stay above LA Clippers(32-28) in the standings.

Last 3 games before the break gonna go on all the home teams!

Call me crazy but I got the bulls +8 at home.  Think they can back door cover here.

I like the Timberwolves at home -3.  Think after the break they turn it wlaround fully here.  When Kat comes back they are my dark horse.

And last gimme the Suns-1 at home against the Clippers.  Suns start theor run at the top of the league here.

Good luck everyone!!

My picks for tonight.

Chicago Bulls vs Milwaukee Bucks (-7.5) = Milwaukee Bucks Win 1,89 Odds.

Chicago Bulls vs Milwaukee Bucks (-2.5) = First Quarter Win 1,89 Odds.

Phoenix Suns vs Los Angeles Clippers = Phoenix Suns Win 1,88 Odds.

Good luck guys.

1/2 for me last night, not that bad, at least I still have some to continue to bet today, hehehe.

I wll also go with the Bucks -7.5 @1.95, it was reported that DeRozan is out in this game and so is Alex Caruso.
Suns vs Clippers - gonna be a good match up here, ML for Clippers for me, @1.93.

Parlay both my picks @3.71.

I see that most of us fell short with the Lakers vs Pelicans match-up as it was really unexpected that the Pelicans will be the losing team because the Lakers are quite on a middle of some messy situation right now. Anyway, that's normal as NBA is always unpredictable that is why it's funning betting on it.

Speaking of betting, the Suns are now the new favorite to win unlike earlier where it was the Clippers. Now I'm wondering what's the Suns ML earlier Suns -1.5 for me this time my friend but I will tail you with the Bucks -7. Quite risky but I think they can make it as Bulls is on the same situation as well.

We had the same bet here during live games but my mistake is I parlayed it with the Lakers vs Pelicans game total over 238.5. Long story short, it didn't hit.   Congratulations to you though.

We still have games later. The last three games before the All-Star break.

Chicago Bulls - Milwaukee Bucks - Milwaukee Bucks (-7.5) They will have a very long rest so I doubt they will rest Giannis even if they are on a safe seed in the East. It's just better if they could take the 1st seed. Well, they are just 2 games behind the Celtics so it can be done.
I wish this time my spread will be covered, unlike yesterday.

Minnesota Timberwolves - Washington Wizards - Minnesota Timberwolves (-5.5) With Conley around this team just got better and I bet they are also aiming for a sweet spot in the playoffs. They'd better win all their games to achieve that. Kuz is back for the Wizards but I doubt the Twolves will just give this one to them, especially on their turf.

Phoenix Suns - Los Angeles Clippers - Los Angeles Clippers (-4.5) @2.47 I've seen the Clippers play with their newly recruited players from the trade and they are better. More options for their defense and the new guys are not weak on the defensive end too. Normal Powell will sit this one.

Good luck everyone.

These 3 games tonight is games where somebody lead by a huge margin, but 2 of those teams got the victory like the Philly and the New York Knicks. I don't know what can I say about the Bulls since they blew out their huge lead in the first half. I mean I didn't expect that the Pacers will make a comeback "again", and I said again because they've been done it 3 times this season.

---

Anyway, here are the results for my bets.

Atlanta Hawks - New York Knicks = New York Knicks @ 2.38
- WIN. I guess I just felt that they will one on the road, so I put my bet on them. Got the momentum during the first quarter with that huge double digit lead, and they didn't look back anymore. It's good to see that they have a good supporting center in Hartenstein that is very active in the paint.

Philadelphia 76ers - Cleveland Cavaliers = Philadelphia 76ers @ 1.92
- WIN. I expected that the Philly will continue their winning streak, and maybe the fact that they are playing on their home is the reason why I put my bet on them. Cavaliers are the best defensive team right now in the NBA, but they just can't stop the Sixers and scored 63 points against 38 for them. I thought for a second that they will make a comeback as well like what the Pacers did.

Brooklyn Nets - Miami Heat = Brooklyn Nets @ 1.81
- WIN. Brooklyn Bridges is doing it at Brooklyn. The Nets have now a new crowd favorite, and he's enjoying playing there. A new career high 45 points for him, and what's good about him is that, he can be a reliable scorer, but at the same time, he's an elite defender, and he isn't injury prone as well that's why he's being called "Iron Man". Cam Thomas with 19 points and Cam Johnson with 18. Good win for them on their home.

Los Angeles Lakers - New Orleans Pelicans = New Orleans Pelicans @2.70
- LOST. I lost on this one and I thought I will go 4/4 today. It seems like what @YuginKadoya said was true that their new players are performing better for the team. They also have a deeper depth right now compare to what it was before the trade deadline. Russel, AD and Lebron combined for 70 points in this win. Good win for them as well.

I also put a bet Denver Nuggets - Dallas Mavericks Total (Incl. Overtime) = Over 214.5 @ 1.75 during the halftime of the game, and I won so 4/5 today .

Here are the results of my picks for today's game,

Indiana Pacers VS Chicago Bulls SCORE 117 - 113 - WIN

The Chicago Bulls have a great start in the 1st half but the Indiana Pacers have made a great turn of events in the 2nd half, which led them to win this close game, Myles Turner got 17 points, Aaron Nesmith got 21 and Buddy Hield got 27 points, winning the game,

Atlanta Hawks VS New York Knicks SCORE 101 - 122 - LOST

I was so frustrated when the Hawks lost the game well just because I have not bet for them that I have lost, actually, the Knicks from start to finish is not slowing down while the Hawks have shown how fragile they are, Jalen Brunson was very slick in this game, RJ Barett got 17 points Julius Randle has a double-double of 11 rebounds and 25 points and Jalen Brunson got 28 points winning the game against the Hawks,

Philadelphia 76ers VS Cleveland Cavaliers SCORE 118 - 112 - LOST

A close game indeed the 76ers have a great lead at the start of the game but the Cavaliers have shown momentum in getting the lead chip little by little, but they haven't made a progress in getting the lead themselves, De'Anthony Melton got 17 points James Harden has a double-double of 12 assists and 19 points, and Joel Embiid has a double-double of 14 rebounds and 29 points winning the game against the Cavaliers,

Los Angeles Lakers VS New Orleans Pelicans SCORE 120 - 102 - WIN

Surely those 3 new recruits for the Lakers have done them pretty much good, and have done justice to the Lakers because, with their match with the Pelicans, they are now doing so much with some of their players, pretty much D'Angelo Russell is a great addition to the team, well both D'Angelo Russell and Lebron James got 21 points and Anthony Davis has a double-double of 10 rebounds and 28 points winning against the Pelicans,

I was expecting a surprise from Miami Heat but it didn't happen. It's no problem, my other bets won 2/3

Man, that's a loss again. Most of us took the bet for Indiana Pacers and it hit, even my -3.5. The Bulls had that 24-point lead in the first quarter and I even thought it was going to be a blowout game but the Pacers pushed hard to make the game close until they got the lead in the last minutes of the game.
Win! I was praying Zach LaVine will miss that one free throw and it was answered.  Thank you for the tip @freedomgo

Charlotte Hornets - San Antonio Spurs - Charlotte Hornets (-4.5) - Win.
Memphis Grizzlies - Utah Jazz - Memphis Grizzlies (-7.5) - Loss. Didn't cover, I need 2 more points.
Boston Celtics - Detroit Pistons - Boston Celtics (-5.5) - Win
Philadelphia 76ers - Cleveland Cavaliers - Cleveland Cavaliers ML - Loss. They tried to get close after a 27-point lead early in the game. They made an 18-3 run but it was not enough.

3/5 Not bad.
Betting for the New Orleans Pelicans +11.5. Caught in the first quarter. They are still down by 10.

I put a few satoshis down on the Chicago Bulls defeating the Indy Pacers, who were favored to win the game at -2.5 points.  The Bulls have dropped like 4 or 5 straight, so it's nice to see them play really well, at least so far tonight especially without Demar DeRozan playing in this game. 

Nice seeing contributions from Coby White and Ayo Dosunmo, they've really stepped up tonight in the absence of DeRozan.

As a bettor, who would've expect that the Celtics will play on that way.

That only shows that they are the team to watch out with. They have all the tools offensively and at the same time, they have players who are for me I can call the "Giannis Stoppers" who can stop and defend him inside the paint. Of course if he's running on fastbreak, expect that no one can stop him, but in the paint, the Celtics have the players that can defend him. Grant Williams is the one that I always see that can stop him.

Anyway, here are my bets for this tonight's game.

Atlanta Hawks - New York Knicks = New York Knicks @ 2.38
Philadelphia 76ers - Cleveland Cavaliers = Philadelphia 76ers @ 1.92
Brooklyn Nets - Miami Heat = Brooklyn Nets @ 1.81
Los Angeles Lakers - New Orleans Pelicans = New Orleans Pelicans @2.70

Good luck to all of us.

Hornets -4.5 live betting at 1.95, against the San Antonio Spurs. It's early in the first quarter but the Spurs took a slight lead.

Gonna be interesting defending their homecourt and I think they can do it against the visiting Spurs. Hayward and Ball will have to shoulder most of the scoring and I think the duo can make it.

So with these trades done during the entire Lebron point breaking segment, Kyrie Irving going to the Mavericks got put aside.

I only seen somebody ask if he was getting game time on the court with Luka Doncic or not the night he started earlier last week.

They are playing against Denver Nuggets tonight so expect them to beat them with the over on points.
As Jokic has been on an unstoppable streak last I watched one of their games last week.

My picks for tonight.

Los Angeles Lakers (-4.5) vs New Orleans Pelicans = Los Angeles Lakers Win 1,82 Odds.

Brooklyn Nets vs Miami Heat = Miami Heat Win 1,97 Odds.

Indiana Pacers vs Chicago Bulls = Indiana Pacers Win 1,72 Odds.

Good luck guys.

Yeah, it was a disaster for me as well, hehehe, single and parlay bets.

But let's continue with our bets, that is just part of the game for us.

Celtics vs Detroit - Smart and Tatum are scheduled to make a return in this game, so I expect at least the Celtics winning by a double digit margin.
Hawks vs Knicks - I love the Knicks but it's time for the Hawks to win at home, -2.5 @1.82.

I think good for me 1/2, better than my last picks. Of course I will try to be better tonight.
There are good games, I will choose 3-4 games and share them as soon as possible.

Really tough to predict, with how Magic rally back in the 2nd quarter it seems that it can be a good pick an easy cover for the handicap
but coming 2nd half Raptors came back stronger and established good lead.

Unable to bounce back, Magic lose the game with double digits and most of those who trusted them
to cover the handicap lose the bets, nothing but to move forward and try to pick which games will
be the best to bet with to bounce/recover.

10 games today. Wow. No super early games. Thank God. 
Let me second the motion. Going for the Indiana Pacers here @-3.5. I am so done with the Chicago Bulls, I have never felt a win at all the bets I made for them. Time to let go.

Charlotte Hornets - San Antonio Spurs - Charlotte Hornets (-4.5) Hornets are not a bad team but the Spurs have not been winning games lately. 13th losing streak and I doubt it can be stopped. Coach Pop must be furious about what is happening. He needs better players on his team.

Memphis Grizzlies - Utah Jazz - Memphis Grizzlies (-7.5) Sorry Jazz, but Memphis Grizzlies are hot for revenge after losing against the Celtics. They will force this one and try to get farther away from the number 3 Sacramento Kings.

Boston Celtics - Detroit Pistons - Boston Celtics (-5.5) Their bench and roleplayers already proved they are still good even without Tatum, Brown, and Smart, so I bet they can handle the Pistons too.

Philadelphia 76ers - Cleveland Cavaliers - Cleveland Cavaliers ML This will be a close one, there's no assurance the Cavs will win this but I want to take the risk.

Good luck everyone.

Here are my picks for tomorrow's games

Indiana Pacers VS Chicago Bulls

The stake odds for this game are 1.73 for the Pacers and 2.16 for the Bulls, right now Daniel Theis and Myles Turner are questionable if they can play for the Pacers, While DeMar DeRozan, Derrick Jones Jr., Javonte Green, and Lonzo Ball can not play, Goran Dragic and Alex Caruso are questionable if they can play for the Bulls, for this game the Bulls has so many injuries and those are the main players for the Bulls, so my pick will be the Indiana Pacers,

Atlanta Hawks VS New York Knicks

The stake odds for this game are 1.66 for the Hawks and 2.28 for the Knicks, Right now De'Andre Hunter, and John Collins are questionable if they can play for the Hawks while Mitchell Robinson can not play for the Knicks for this game, even though De'Andre Hunter and John Collins are questionable it doesn't matter, for me my pick will be the Atlanta Hawks,

Philadelphia 76ers VS Cleveland Cavaliers

The stake odds for this game are 1.79 for the 76ers and 2.08 for the Cavaliers, right now Furkan Korkmaz, can not play because of injury, Joel Embiid, and P.J. Tucker are questionable if they can play, for the 76ers, while the Cavaliers don't have any injuries right now, for me I think Joel Embiid and PJ Tucker even though they can play for this game they will not be in their 100% form so my pick will be the Cleveland Cavaliers,

Los Angeles Lakers VS New Orleans Pelicans

The stake odds for this game are 1.59 for the Lakers and 2.42 for the Pelicans, for this game LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Scotty Pippen Jr. are questionable if they can not play against the Pelicans, while Dyson Daniels, Zion Williamson, and E.J. Liddell can not play CJ McCollum is questionable if he can play for the Pelican, for me because of the new players for the Lakers and the Pelicans still doesn't have Zion on their team, my pick will be the Lakers,
