Easy win for the Bucks on their home.
The Pelicans played without their big 3 and Giannis exploded for a 50-point double-double. That's why he has been the captain of the East because of his numbers and how he is playing.

Key players of the Clippers didn't play at all.
Wall, PG13, Kawhi and even Reggie Jackson didn't play unlike in Cavaliers where even Mitchell played at least 20+ minutes. The yellow man "Cedi Osman" is their leading scorer with 29 points, 11/13 FG and didn't miss the 3pt area with 7/7. It's his night obviously.

---

On other games, the Heat lost on the road against the bottom seeded Hornets and the Grizzlies snapped their 5 game losing streak as they defeated the Pacers on their home by 12 points.

Two games left for today.

Clippers facing Cavs with basically their B squad, multiple starters missing tonight whereas Cavs get back Mitchell and Love.


∆ Cavs ML / D. Garland 5+ assists / D. Garland 1+ steals @1.75 ∆   X

Easy win for the Cavs is written all over this one, Clippers missing too many playmakers on their team means one thing only, turnovers. Clippers give up the third most steals to opposing PGs on the season, and Garland is averaging 2.3 steals per game /L7, including four against OKC. Garland has accumulated 5+ assists in 7/L7. The only concern i have here is that the Cavs' lead goes out of hand and the starters don't get much playing time in the second half.

Truly intense.
Miami Heat came back after the Hornets made a good lead ahead but it seems like they lack defense whenever a switch happens for Adebayo against a shooter specifically LaMelo, he should stay near and not let him take threes, make him take twos and just trust the defenders left in the paint.
They've given the Hornets too much room and they paid the price.

Man, that's one early loss for me, I think I will be chasing losses again in the next games after the Memphis Grizzlies versus the Indiana Pacers.
Kawhi Leonard may not be playing as the odds is way far. @6.60 if the Clippers win. PG13 might also take the rest if the odds are that high.

This could be a good choice for my chase. NOP had been on a bad losing streak and this is a back-to-back game for them.

We've had some competitive and interesting games recently.
I've been analyzing some games for me to bet on in the future, but guys, for you, what will be the interesting games that we will have in the future?
Anyone else looking forward to watching the Grizziles vs Pacers game? Cavs vs Clippers? Nets vs Lakers?
What will your bets be in relation to these games?

Yeah, I understand but I felt the odds were rather ridiculous given how not so fit the Miami Heat themselves are, and I really didn't find any worthy value in the +4.5 for the Hornets, I believe if they're going to lose the game, the Miami Heat would cover the spread. That said, it's been a close first half both teams having a go at each other, neither team have had any significant lead yet, despite the numerous lead changes.

Bam Adebayo isn't slowing down for nobody !!!


EDIT: what a game down the stretch that was, it was pretty much intense, and despite the Hornets creating a double digit lead, Miami Heat stayed locked in and could've taken the lead if that Tyler Herro 3pt attempt had went, that surely could have changed the final result, but in the end the Hornets were able to survive and secure the win!

I don’t know… LaMelo Ball has been playing pretty poorly lately. I guess they’ve got to win eventually but I’m not sure I’d feel good about my money riding on them. Especially the way Bam Adebayo has been playing. That guy is a beast and I’m not sure how well the little guards for Charlotte are going to do trying to penetrate against the Miami defense.

Good, I thought I'm the only one betting on those huge underdogs on games, hehehe. This time though, since the game has started, 4.5 for Hornets @2.05.

Memphis going back at home against the Kings, they have been losing on the road, but again, I do hope that this time, they will break their losing skid. I'm looking at a double digit win for them, -9.5 @2.07.

Bucks is healthy once more, against NOP, -9.5 @1.92.

I actually think I'll take my chances with the Charlotte Hornets tonight, I like them more and I find value in the approximately 2.9 Odds they're offered for ML, with both Lamelo Ball and Terry Rozier playing, even with Cody Martin out, I believe the Hornets still stand more than a decent chance here, and I'm riding with 'em.

He is consistent but it won't be enough to stop the Celtics team with Brown and Tatum around.
I think it all depend on guts. I saw that the Celtics have enough time and firepower to dominate but Lakers only have Lebron and since AD just got back he won't be contributing that much yet.
4 games today.
Charlotte Hornets vs Miami Heat - Miami Heat (-3.5)
Memphis Grizzlies vs Indiana Pacers - Memphis Grizzlies (-10.5)
Good luck to everyone.

So despite that status, they still make the Bucks as the heavy favorite? What if Giannis will play, will the spread would increase to -12.5? I think the handicap is good considering the Pelicans badly need a win, they might loss again but they will likely cover the spread, especially if Giannis is out.

Here is my pick for games tomorrow,

Charlotte Hornets VS Miami Heat

The stake odds for this game are 3.00 for the Hornets and 1.42 for the Heat, right now Kelly Oubre Jr. can not play, and Cody Martin and Dennis Smith Jr. are questionable if they can play for the Hornets, while Duncan Robinson, Nikola Jovic, and Omer Yurtseven can not play for the Heat, right now I guess even though there are 3 injuries for the Heat it doesn't mean they can not make a great game, for me there are no main players that are injured then my pick are the Miami Heat,

Memphis Grizzlies VS Indiana Pacers

The stake odds for this game are 1.24 for the Grizzlies and 4.30 for the Pacers, Right now John Konchar and Steven Adams can not play for the Grizzlies, and Desmond Bane and Danny Green are questionable if they could play for the Grizzlies, while Tyrese Haliburton and Daniel Theis can not play for the Pacers, for this game just like I have said in the past I am not trusting Grizzlies inconsistency anymore, so I think that the Pacers would win this, even though without Halliburton, but I am not really betting for this game because of the odds, and the risk of picking the Pacers,

Cleveland Cavaliers VS Los Angeles Clippers

The stake odds for this game are 1.52 for the Cavaliers and 2.65 for the Clippers, Right now Dylan Windler can not play for the Cavaliers, and Donovan Mitchell and Kevin Love are questionable if they can play for the Cavaliers, while John Wall and Robert Covington can not play for the Clippers and Marcus Morris for this game I think I may go with the Cavaliers they are doing great right now for me mostly I think Mitchell and Love will play even though they are questionable,

Milwaukee Bucks VS New Orleans Pelicans

The stake odds for this game are 1.20 for the Bucks and 4.90 for the Pelicans, right now Serge Ibaka and Bobby Portis can not play for the Bucks, and Giannis Antetokounmpo, MarJon Beauchamp, and AJ Green are all questionable if they can play for the Bucks while E.J. Liddell, Dyson Daniels, and Zion Williamson can not play for the Pelicans, for this game I think I will still look if Giannis can not play for the Bucks this is a situation where you will look at their ace player if he can play my pick will be the bucks but I will not bet on this game but if he's not going to play likely I will go with the Pelican,

There's no need to change the call because it's a non call, they can only change a call after a challenge if it's a foul IMO. Anyway, let's move forward, the controversy will stay because NBA is a controversial league, this is not the first time it happened actually. Let's just trust that the Lakers will win in their next game, so get ready with our bets.

A great timing indeed especially with the Lakers, though there's really a controversial call from that last attack of LeBron it should be a potential win for the Lakers as we all see from the replay that Tatum really reach LeBron's arm.

A clear foul but danherbias07 was too lucky as the ref didn't change the call and they move it to an OT
where Boston dominated the game and snatch that home win from the Lakers.

Congrats!

Here is the result of my picks for today's game I have made 3/4 wins which were really something and a neat win for me,

Philadelphia 76ers VS Denver Nuggets SCORE 126 - 119 - WIN

The Nuggets got a great run at the beginning of the game, 1st haft the Nuggets have gotten 73 while the 76ers only got 58 but the 76ers turned the table against the Nuggets, and because of the great spread that the Nets have made they surely were on the advantage, Georges Niang and Tobias Harris both got 14 points James Harden got a double-double of 13 assists and 17 points while Joel Embiid also had a double-double of 18 rebounds and 47 points, winning the game against the Denver Nuggets,

Brooklyn Nets VS New York Knicks SCORE 122 - 115 - WIN

This match from start to finish was the Nets leads all the way, it's just that the Nets have a great spread Nic Claxton got a double-double of 12 rebounds and 13 points, Royce O'Neale and Seth Curry both got 14 points Joe Harris got 16, and the main man Kyrie Irving had 32 points winning the game against the Knicks,

Orlando Magic VS Chicago Bulls SCORE 109 - 128 - WIN

Just like the game of Nets VS Knicks, this game from start to finish the Bulls were leading and on the advantage, the whole game, Nikola Vucevic got a double-double of 13 rebounds and 26 points DeMar DeRozan and Zach LeVine both got 32 points for the Chicago Bulls and winning against the Orlando Magic,

New Orleans Pelicans VS Washington Wizards SCORE 103 - 113 - LOST

It's just that the New Orleans Pelicans, can not handle the Wizards without Zion Williamson and Daniel Gafford was the one that is getting all of the good parts for the Wizards while the Wizards also got a good spread for the team to win, Deni Avdija got 15 points for the team, Bradley Beal got 16 points and Daniel Gafford got a double-double of 12 rebounds and 21 points for the team winning against the Pelicans,

I got 2 out of 3, not bad, I'm glad I'm profitable. I was thinking that Boston was the easiest bet to hit, but I was wrong because I lose that bet since they didn't cover the spread. Also, got a bit lucky on the Jazz bet because they just won by 8 points.

@danherbias07, congrats, nice timing for the live betting.

You got great odds for Houston Rockets and Boston Celtics, didn't know they were down huge because I didn't see the game.
Lebron is still consistent, scored 41 huge points but it's not enough to win.

Yeah, well, it's a win for me as I caught the Boston Celtics bet while they are down by 6 if I remember it correctly.
Took the ML as I trust they can win it at their home and even if AD is back, the rotation won't be the same as they did when he was playing on a daily basis.
But the Lakers are looking pretty well if they can manage to play this close against the top of the East.
1/2 for my early bets but I got some at live betting.
No parlay won because the New Orleans Pelicans and Sacramento Kings broke it. Pelicans lost against the Wizards which is surprising because I thought they are desperate to win to break the losing streak.

I caught Houston Rockets too while Detroit Pistons is in a good lead. They are rewarded for resisting to lose, a good win for the Rockets even without Coach Silas.

There is no doubt that the ref are messing too much of the game, its not the only call the messed up, the problem is that the NBA cannot do anything about it because of the ref union, and the bad thing is that they are protecting the refs even when they are wrong, because they can stop the season by not officiating so, there could be a reality of the ref fixing the game, since they can't be punish by the NBA , the result is devastating, for players and also the fans, imagine, that is a clear foul, even a monkey can't missed that call, too bad its been happening now more often and when a player comment they will be fine, while the culprit is there, still walking free.

Not going to lie tonight hurt.  Had the Lakers money line here and withthe game tied refs missed probably the worst missed call of the year.  Bron going in for a layup got hammered on the forearm by Tatum and no call.  In ot took the loss.  Brutal one but that's basketball right
