A. Edwards 20+ points / 4+ rebounds / 2+ 3pts / 1+ steals @1.91  X

Have a quick prop on Anthony Edwards tonight. Grizzlies are still without S. Adams meaning no significant rim protection, Bane has just been ruled out for them as well. It all points out to an easy matchup for him.

ANT is averaging almost 30 ppg/L7 (37/L3) and will face Grizlies' defense which has been struggling of late with 4 straight losses, allowing 5th most ppg/L3, not doing well in the rebounding department in that stretch. Grizzlies allow the most rebounds to opposing SGs on the season too, while Edwards is averaging almost 6/L7. Speaking of Grizzlies' problems, they are second worst in opponent 3s and 3s %...ANT is averaging almost 4 3s/L7 at 42%. Going through a rough stretch means giving a ton of turnovers per game, MEM with just over 16/L3, while A. Edwards is averaging 2.1 steals/L7 and has had 1 or more steals in 6/L7...he had 5 the last time these two teams played each other.

edit; five t'wolves players finished with 2+ steals, ant - zero, you gotta be kidding me...

Time to bounce back tonight, so here's my pick,

1. Warriors vs Raptors - Warriors at home -5.5 @2.00. I think with that big win against their rival, Warriors could have recovered mentally at their homecourt and that whole incident is behind them.

OKC vs Cavs - I have to go with OKC ML @1.84.

Memphis vs Wolves - maybe this is the game that will end their road game losing streak, -3.5 @1.96. And then 4.5 @2.33.

Pacers vs Bucks - I like the underdog Pacers, so ML @3.35 hehehe, willing to take that risk.

Golden State Warriors vs Toronto Raptors

The Toronto Raptors (22-27) will visit the Golden State Warriors (24-24) tonight at Chase Center. Do not doubt the Golden State Warriors at home. They are keen to defend their home and very dangerous. With almost a complete rotation, they will beat the visiting Toronto Raptors.
Raptors key injuries: Otto Porter Jr (hip) out
Warriors key injuries: Andrew Wiggins (hip) questionable


Oklahoma City Thunder vs Cleveland Cavaliers
The Cleveland Cavaliers (30-20) will visit the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight at Paycom Center. The Cleveland Cavaliers have beaten the Oklahoma City Thunders in 4 straight meetings. Cleveland is very good odds to win this game.
Thunder key injuries: Luguentz Dort (hamstring) out, Chet Holmgren (foot) out

That Pistons win really destroyed my parlay for the night. I didn’t think they’d be able to take the Nets even without Durant. I was wrong.

Looks like the Mavericks are about to beat the Suns. Luka only played a couple of minutes before leaving the game. I hope his ankle isn’t bothering him too bad. The all star break is coming soon though and I think all NBA players could use the break. Their schedule is brutal.
The same for me. I believe that several people also bet in favor of the Nets.
I was convinced that the Nets would beat the Pistons.

By the way, I was impressed with Irving's performance in the last few games, I even dare say that he is fulfilling Durant's need for the team. I believe that Durant's return to the Nets will make the team very strong, and I have no doubt that the Nets will be a great team to bet in the future.

I like your Celtics and Suns pick. There's lots of value in the Mavs vs Suns pick although with that many players absent on the side of Suns, it really is a huge gamble to bet on them, especially without Djae Crowder and Devin Booker, two of the main play makers in the said team. Both teams are on the losing side of the coins for their last 10 games so both have no momentum to carry over. Luka, while being effective on the scoring side of things, doesn't seem to have enough fuel in the tank to carry his team single-handedly, so this is a 50-50 game. Even still, I'd take Suns just for the juice even with a lot of key players missing and just bet that the Mavs will not perform effectively tomorrow.

Unfortunately, all bets were lost, the Boston Celtics had a great start but it was short live when the New York Knicks Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle did the job done by making a table turn to their advantage to the lead of the Celtics it was really a close game that the match ended in an Overtime that the Knicks have won,

While the Mavericks and Suns game was a bloody mess, a close game indeed, I really thought that the Suns could make win because 8 mins into the 1st quarter Luka Doncic's left leg was hurt, and unable to return to the game, but Spencer Dinwiddie has something to say even without Luka Doncic they have won the game even though they have surely struggled a lot,



It was a bad day for me all games lost and this is the 1st time that happen to me all game was really close, sometime there will be a 1 game win but right now it was a straight loss, all of my picks,

Boston Celtics VS New York Knicks SCORE 117 - 120 - LOST

Charlotte Hornets VS Chicago Bulls SCORE 111 - 96 - LOST

Brooklyn Nets VS Detroit Pistons SCORE 122 - 130 - LOST

Phoenix Suns VS Dallas Mavericks SCORE 95 - 99 - LOST

Spencer Dinwiddie just had to do it all, without the help of Luka Doncic, I also lost a players props' parlay due to the unfortunate incident, I didn't think much of it at first, honestly It didn't look serious and I felt he would return to the game at most at some point during the 2nd quarter, but I guess they chose to cautious due to nature of the game, and were still able secure the win.

Great game for him, he stepped up when it's necessary. Luka's early exit probably have chance the live betting spread, but it turns out it's just a trap after all as the Mavericks still won a game without Luka. I guess Dinwiddie needs to score at least 20 points per game to help Luka lessen the burden, because as what we've seen, we know he can do it.

The problem for the Mavericks is that Spencer Dinwiddie isn't having some good nights lately and he's getting too unpredictable to know when he will explode, I know that he knows he can, I just don't know why he is not that aggressive lately. But anyway, I'm just glad that he took some initiative to lead the team and almost literally carried it all the way because I did throw some few bucks on their favor.

@danherbias07 - good that you bet to recover your losses. As for me I'm frustrated on the Celtics for allowing the Knicks to get that win even in the OT they still got a good chance, maybe not cover the handicap but at least getting the win.
Don't say it out loud or @wheelz1200 is going to be mad at us.  Cheesy He is a pure Knicks fan. Just kidding. A Grimes fan without a doubt. He did great today but not on the stats sheet, all because of his presence and defensive maneuvers. He won't be playing 38 minutes without a good reason.
For the Bulls, nah, I might skip betting on them, they are like having a switch or something and hard to predict hehehe.
I am done with them. True, inconsistent. 2 road games, easy teams to win but they let their fans down especially the gamblers supporting the claim that they will win it.

5 games tomorrow or later for our friends in Eastern time.

Indiana Pacers vs Milwaukee Bucks - Milwaukee Bucks (-10.5)
Minnesota Timberwolves vs Memphis Grizzlies - Memphis Grizzlies (-1.5)
Miami Heat vs Orlando Magic - Miami Heat (-5.5)

I won't be dissecting the games today as I have a superstitious belief that it gives me bad luck when I try to explain things. Just going with the favorites and see what will happen.

Magic vs Pacers - Orlando Magic has the homecourt advantage and so I'm going with the handicap  -5.5 @1.90
You almost lost in the Pacers-Magic because the Magic only won by 6 points. Anyway, the young Magic team played very well on their home with all of their starters in double digits. On the other hand, Pacers are playing without their main point guard in Haliburton. Buddy Hield is a very underrated player but he's good at threes as well. Tonight, he shot 6/10 from threes which is a very good one already.

Barely won mate, hehehe. The Magic though has total control, they just slack in the 4th thinking that they got this at hand but the Pacers come back hard just like they did against the Bulls. However, the Magic was able to hold on that lead and enough for the bettors to win that handicap. However, all of my bets are are a lost.


For tonight's game,

Celtics vs Knicks - take the home team Celtics, -7.5.
Bulls vs Hornets - Bulls will have to make a statement win after that huge blunder, blowing up a 20+ lead -5.5.
Suns vs Dallas - gonna be interesting, but I'm going with the underdog Dallas here.


Only hit one of my bets, congrats to the rest of the bettors here. And good that Dallas won even though Luka wasn't able to play. But for sure they are more concern about that ankle injury and hopefully it's not for the worse.

@danherbias07 - good that you bet to recover your losses. As for me I'm frustrated on the Celtics for allowing the Knicks to get that win even in the OT they still got a good chance, maybe not cover the handicap but at least getting the win.

Yeah, probably in the beginning, it was a decent 2.0 odds for the Mavs, but as soon as Luka got injured for sure the live betting odds might have gone up, never seen it though.

I do agree, there are some upsets and not expected win by the underdog. But this is NBA, no homecourt advantage right now and no lead is safe. Probably those teams that are under .500 are trying to make it up before the all star break so at least they will have a good record in the first half of the season and then rest and go full throttle in the next half for a playoff spot.

They are trying but it does not happen as long as Luka is on the floor. Luka does dictate what will happen in the game because he holds the ball all the time, he can easily have a double double if he wants, and that makes him a better player. However, his teammates are not so independent as eventually they will just rely on Luka most of the time, and only in this type of occasion where we see a player showing their real potential, just like when Brunson exploded in the playoffs, Luka was out for many games that time.

I like the explanation on why you choose your bet. Bounce back from a lose is always a good factor to consider. I guess the pick with a high percentage of winning here is the Boston Celtics pick, it's their first game back home, and they came from 2 losing streak on the road, I believe they will be more than ready to dominate the Knicks, although I must say it's not guaranteed since NYK is also a good team, but I trust the home team here.
But it's still a failure. Damn. It's getting frustrating how these strong teams are losing despite being the favorites. It could've been more acceptable if they win and didn't cover the spread.
0/3 on my early team picks.
Boston Celtics losing against the New York Knicks. Julius Randle is really finding his shots in the distance. 8/12 last time against the Cavs and now 5/13 which is not bad at all.
Chicago Bulls also lost their game against the Hornets. I think this is the most frustrating of all. Just comparing the stars of the Bulls vs the Hornets you will be surprised how it went down like that.
The Nets also lost against the Detroit Pistons. Two home games were defeated in front of their own crowd.
Chased my losses for the Clippers -10.5 and Cavs -10.5, and got lucky.  Cheesy

Ouch, some of us had Boston on the handicap, unfortunately they lost the game. They forced the OT against the Knicks but New York stay focus even if Boston took the lead in the OT.

Detroit Piston as well pull an upset win against the Nets, Kyrie had another big game with 40 points, Ben Simmons though, 0 points in this game.
It was Nic again who help Kyrie was not enough, while Pistons has like 8 players scoring double digits. So it's 0/2 for me tonight.

That Pistons win really destroyed my parlay for the night. I didn’t think they’d be able to take the Nets even without Durant. I was wrong.

Looks like the Mavericks are about to beat the Suns. Luka only played a couple of minutes before leaving the game. I hope his ankle isn’t bothering him too bad. The all star break is coming soon though and I think all NBA players could use the break. Their schedule is brutal.
I was a bit surprised when I saw that the Knicks won against the Celtics, but I'm more surprised when I saw the Pistons defeated the Nets. I mean who would've thought that the road team Pistons which are at the bottom spot defeated the 4th seeded team in Nets. I'm pretty sure there are some who lost money in these 2 games.

Hoping for a speedy recovery for Luka's ankle as he is also a starter in the upcoming all-star game. As for the Pistons, I just don't know what happened to them, but to see Simmons having 0 points in that game is very frustrating if you are a Nets fan. Simmons also got a -12 plus-minus rating. Seth Curry didn't play as well, but it's good to see Claxton being more efficient than he was last season. A double-double machine scoring more than 20 points in his last 5 games and getting more than 10 rebound in 4 of his last 5 games and he's only 23 years old.

Brooklyn Nets are actually dragging themselves down with this whole Ben Simmons issues, and imo he duly deserves every bit of smoke he's been getting lately, the Nets would actually have been better off with a couple of first round draft picks in the James Harden trade, than they seemed to have gotten with the little Miss Ben Simmons, they irritative part of the whole saga is that Ben Simmons clearly doesn't seem to be putting in any effort whatsoever to actually get better, I really can't believe I was one of those who felt the Nets got a fair deal from the trade at first.

Suns vs Dallas - gonna be interesting, but I'm going with the underdog Dallas here.

I like all picks and I'll go with them as singles, and small parlay.

I'm sentimental about Suns vs Dallas, It's quite hard to pick a side here and seem more like a coin flip for me, because I witnessed the Suns play through huge injuries and adversity, but still delivered when undermanned, having the likes of CP3 and Cam Johnson back only makes them a tougher  nut to crack. I understand the strength that lies within Dallas squad as well having DFS and Hardarway Jr shooting pretty well is another means to wreck havoc, I might just wait for the line up or see the tempo of the game and bet live.

I will also go with the Dallas Mavericks here, I mean Luka has been playing very good when he is facing the Suns. And for sure the Suns will not forget what Luka did to them last season. Still 2.01 odd for Dallas ML.

As for the other games, hmm, maybe we can see some upset on the game between Celtics vs Knicks, and Brooklyn vs Detroit games, just saying.

N. Claxton 25+ PR / N. Claxton 2+ blocks / K. Irving 20+ points @1.91  won

N. Claxton just set a new career high in points against the 76ers. He is averaging a solid double-double /L7 on an impressive 75% shooting and covered the 25+ PR line in 6/L7. He's also a legitimate DPOY candidate, with 14 games and counting of at least two blocks or more. Detroit gives up the third most blocks to opposing centers this season, and is tied with Indiana for the third most blocks per game /L3 at 6.7.

Kyrie has scored 30 or more points in each of the last four games for BKN, and with Seth Curry listed as questionable, he should have around 20-25 shots tonight given it's not a blowout win. He scored nearly 40 points the last time these two teams met. Worth noting, the Pistons are near the bottom of the league in terms of giving points to opposing guards, defo a good matchup for him.
