Denver is playing without Jokic, they are lucky to even make it a close game because this OKC team is for real, they are a road Warrior, they are beating the home team. I also bet on the Nuggets, but it's just unlucky that they are not having a good start. Their win streak is over, for sure they can build another one.

So moving forward tomorrow.

Memphis vs Kings. I'm riding on the road team here.

Yeah, I thought I could get a split if both live bets won, but I sum it all up and I got 1/4.  Sad day for NBA bettors today? No beers tonight.
It's getting more difficult to predict the winners as we are past halfway of the season. Many teams will try to win every game that they can even if it's a 10-point lead in a 1-minute game.

7 games tomorrow.
Orlando Magic - Boston Celtics - Boston Celtics (-7.5) @2.02 Greedy. Robert Williams is questionable to play, Marcus Smart and Brogdon are out.

Detroit Pistons - Milwaukee Bucks - Milwaukee Bucks (-9.5) @1.71 Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton are both probable. Killian Hayes and Stewart are out for Pistons.

Chicago Bulls - Atlanta Hawks - Chicago Bulls (-4.5) @2.41 Both teams are good to go. This might also end up in a high-scoring game so I am taking the Over 236.5.

Good luck everyone. I wish we could get back all our losses tonight.

Too bad Denver Nuggets were not able to win against the OKC Thunders. Murray has a good shot to tie the game and send it to overtime but it was short. At least you got the Nets bet.

It is all upset to for me. Denver losing, Warriors losing at home, and Memphis losing to the starless Suns. All close ending.

Truly remarkable and the claiming number 1 in the west lost to a team that doesn't have their Booker, it was really remarkable and surely putting may bet for them is not really worth it because the Phoenix Suns have won the game so congrats to the risk takers,


There is a saying that good defense is extremely good offense aswell, so I have gone for the Mavericks knowing that they have Luka Doncic in it and they are at a point where their offense is really great right now, but surely it was just a mere excuse because on this match Luka Doncic is not consistent in making or dropping beyond 50 points or 30 points for this game, but Kawhi Leonard made an n excellent game today, with Norman Powell and Paul George giving their all in winning,

---

A loss is a loss and I never thought that I would say thank you to the Lakers for giving me a win, Thomas Bryant and Dennis Schroder is showing potential each Lakers game, so here are the result of my pick and I am frustrated about it,

Dallas Mavericks VS Los Angeles Clippers SCORE 98 - 112 - LOST

Phoenix Suns VS Memphis Grizzlies SCORE 112 - 110 - LOST

Golden State Warriors VS Brooklyn Nets SCORE 116 - 120 - LOST

Portland Trail Blazers VS Los Angeles Lakers SCORE 112 - 121 - WIN

Lots of upsets happened in last night's game.

These underdogs won the game.
Brooklyn Nets
LA Lakers
Phoenix Suns
OKC Thunders
LA CLippers

Safe to say it's the night of the underdogs.

I believe that several people bet on a victory for the Grizzlies, but, incredible as it may seem, Suns dominate the game in a certain period
CP3 was the player who had the most rebounds in the game.

Those who also bet on a Nets victory, was a positive thing. Again... Kyrie Irving had an excellent performance (without Durant again), Irving is managing to "carry the team on his back" and in most games, he is guiding the Nets to victory.

By the way, Lakers got another win, the person who bet on Lakers win also won lol

Thanks but my other bets was a lost.

I lost my Memphis bet, but they made a huge comeback, down 29 points and it was a crazy ending. And the Suns just won 2 points, they close the gap in the last 8 seconds got the ball but they are out of time.

And it seems Aquaman got injured chasing that ball for them. Hopefully Adams will be ok.

Memphis almost completed their big come back, they just fall short in the end.

Suns won only by 2 points after leading more than 20 points in the game, that's a good run by the Memphis, but they should have not allowed the Suns to dominate them in the 1st half, things could be easier for them and they might win.

I looked at the defensive ratings of each team and I saw that the Mavericks are on the bottom spot of the rankings.
The Mavericks are good at offense, but the problem that I see is their defense and that's also the reason why they lost against the Clippers. The absence of their 2 big players Kleber and Wood affects their overall defense and we all know that there's nothing wrong with defense. You're good at defense, you have a higher chance of winning.

The Blazers aren't playing well in their last 10 games (3-7) so I guess that the risk is worth it with this one.
3.06 seems attractive to me especially when you see that the Lakers are 6-4 in their last 10 games and it's better than the Blazers obviously. Right now, the Lakers are having an 11-point lead on the road. Kinda sad that I didn't put a bet on them though.

This is not what I expected. Memphis are playing like they are giving this game, 1st half is over and they are down 25 points. I know they are a good team but this 25 points deficit is hard to come back in this uphill battle. Not sure but I think I would just conclude early that I lose my bet.

Chasing losses as well,LOL.. betting on the Blazers spread.

2 early losses, damn.
Miami Heat did not cover the spread as the New Orleans Pelicans keeps on fighting back, not CJ, but more Trey Murphy and Larry Nance contributions.
Heat won but the smallest was -6.5 before the game started so I don't think anyone won except for live bets. Lucky for those who took the +7.5 Pelicans. @Baofeng Congrats.

Chasing my losses.
Denver Nuggets ML @2.25 while they are down by 5 points in halftime against OKC thunder. No Jokic, but I think they can still make it thru with Murray, and Gordon covering the need for their offense.

Warriors vs Nets - Nets +8.5 after the first quarter @1.80. I hope I can somehow get it back.
Good luck.

Good betting day for me yesterday,  

But at the start of my pre game bet, (I wasn't able to watch the game because it's early for my time), I lost the game between the Dallas and Clippers, I did go for Dallas to win at handicap.

And then:

Heat vs NOP - I still go with the underdog again NOP, ML @3.55 and 7.5 @1.92

Phoenix vs Memphis - Memphis -9.5 @1.96. I think they are still going to missed some of their players and Memphis trying to rebuild again and have a W.

Phoenix Suns vs Memphis Grizzlies @ 1.24

The Memphis Grizzlies (31-14) will visit the Phoenix Suns (23-24) tonigth at Footprint Center. The Grizzlies should win this game since the Phoenix Suns is riddled with injuries right now.
Suns key injuries: Cameron Payne (foot) out, Chris Paul (hip) out, Landry Shamet (foot) out,, Deandre Ayton (illness) out
Grizzlies key injuries: Danny Green (knee) out

Denver Nuggets @ 1.46 vs Oklahoma City Thunder
The Denver Nuggets (33-13) will host the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder (22-24) tonight at Ball Arena. The Nuggets should easily win against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Oklahoma City key injuries: Robinson-Earl (ankle) out
Denver key injuries: Bones Hyland (finger) questionable, Nikola Jokic (hamstring) questionable, Jamal Murray (hip) questionable

Golden State Warriors @ 1.34 vs Brooklyn Nets
The Brooklyn Nets (28-17) will visit the Golden State Warriors (23-23) tonight at Chase Center. Without Kevin Durant on the line up of Brooklyn Nets and the Golden State Warriors at home, this is a Warriors game.
Nets key injuries: Kevin Durant (knee) out
Warriors key injuries: Andre Iguodala (hip) out, Anthony Lamb (foot) questionable, James Wiseman (ankle) out

Today a good mix of home and away teams I like.

Knicks +1.5 at Toronto.  These 2 teams always play tight.  Like the Knicks on the road here.
Denver -5.5 at home
Suns +8.5 I know it's against the Grizzlies but think Suns can backdoor cover.
Last I like Warriors at home against the Nets-7.5 that's a tough travel for the Nets without Durant gonna be tough.

Good luck everyone.

I realized that too, it seems that with time it's getting harder to hit some games exactly... And it's at these times that we see the difference between a good gambler and me a bad gambler lol
It's complicated for me in most games, I'm losing often lol
I have been betting/gambling for a short time and therefore I have a lot to learn. I confess that I'm enjoying it, but I need to improve in several aspects

While the odds on this game don't really justify placing a bet, I think the Grizzlies are highly likely to win this game against the Bookerless Suns.  If Chris Paul is also out, and Ayton isn't feeling his best, the Grizzlies should be able to cruise to a big win here.  For that reason, I think I'll probably throw a couple bucks on the Grizzlies to win this game and see if I can get a free dinner out of it.  I also like the Nuggets over the Thunder and the Warriors over the Nets, but those might have to be small separate parlay bets to try and make things interesting. 

We have 2 super early games again so I will put my early picks for this two.
Dallas Mavericks - Los Angeles Clippers - Mavericks ML - 3:30 AM GMT+8 which will be in 4 hours. John Wall is still out. Luke Kennard will not play too. As for the Mavs, it's Christian Wood. Maxi Kleber is also out but plans to return before the All-Star break.

Miami Heat - New Orleans Pelicans - Miami Heat (-6.5) The Pelicans can sometimes surprise their opponents and they are on the 3rd losing streak that might get them desperate so I won't max it out to -10.5 for the Heat. There's still no new about Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram is also out, this game will rely heavily on CJ McCollum and Valanciunas again. The Heat on the other hand had their good roster back again except for Robinson.

Bro, you took a big risk here, I like the courage. Good luck with that. I will check it out later as it will be the last game of the day.

I don't know about you guys but I did not bet in this specific game purposedly, it's not that I do not trust the Celtics to defeat the Raptors, what I'm thinking is can they manage and cover the handicap because they are still favorite in the bookies list despite Tatum's absence and it turns out the same way I expected, they won but the spread wasn't covered. Raptors led the game but eventually, Celtics managed to rally and took the helm until the end.

Los Angeles Clippers vs Dallas Mavericks -1.5 @ 1.93
Los Angeles Lakers ML @ 3.06 vs Portland Trail Blazers

Because I haven't bet on Yesterday's game here are my picks for games tomorrow,

Dallas Mavericks VS Los Angeles Clippers

The stake odds for this game are 1.82 for Mavericks and 2.03 for the Clippers, right now Maxi Kleber, and Christian Wood can not play for the Mavericks, and McKinley Wright IV is questionable if he can play for the Mavericks, while John Wall and Luke Kennard can not play for the Clippers, for this game I think Luka Doncic can manage and the Mavericks can win this match, so my pick are the Dallas Mavericks,

Phoenix Suns VS Memphis Grizzlies

The stake odds for this game are 4.40 for the Suns and 1.23 for the Grizzlies, Right now Devin Booker, Jae Crowder, Landry Shamet, Cameron Johnson, Cameron Payne and Chris Paul can not play for the Suns and Deandre Ayton is questionable if he can play, while Danny Green can not play for the Grizzlies, and for this game because of so much injuries for the Suns I could not think that the Grizzlies can either win this, so my pick will be the Memphis Grizzlies,

Golden State Warriors VS Brooklyn Nets

The stake odds for this game are 1.35 for the Warriors and 3.30 for the Nets, right now James Wiseman, and Andre Iguodala can not play for the Warriors and Anthony Lamb is questionable if he can play for the Warriors while Kevin Durant still can not play for the Nets and T.J. Warren is questionable, for this game the only problem they will have with the Nets are Kyrie Irving or Nic Claxton are the players that I think the Warriors will have a hard time so for me my pick for this game are the Warriors ,

Portland Trail Blazers VS Los Angeles Lakers

The stake odds for this game are 1.48 for the Trail Blazers and 2.75 for the Lakers, right now Justise Winslow is still can not play for the Trail Blazers and Gary Payton II is questionable if he can play for the Trail Blazers, while Austin Reaves, Anthony Davis, and Lonnie Walker IV can not play for the Lakers and LeBron James is questionable if he can play, for this game I surely underestimated the Lakers against the Grizzlies, but right now I really respect what Lebron James is doing right now so I will go with the underdog and my pick will be the Los Angeles Lakers, all I wish is Lebron James can play,

Yeah, it's getting more unpredictable as the teams are not that far in the ranking. They all want to be part of the playoffs so they are playing harder before the All-Star starts. Two teams are most likely to never fail a bet for them, Nuggets and Celtics, but it's the spreads where we can make mistakes if they game ends in a close one.

1/2 with my live bets.
Phoenix Suns won as I predicted, although undermanned, I can see them playing better with Mikal Bridges leading the team.
Josh Okogie helped out by doing some damage on the offensive end, he gained 24 points in 34 minutes. Then there's Saben Lee, helpful free throws to put the dagger against the Pacers.

Sacramento Kings on the other hand struggle to keep their lead, IIRC the highest point was 19 but the 76ers kept on pushing to make the game within reach and were even desperate to claim the W even without their star duo.
Tyrese Maxey always plays better whenever Harden is out. I think he can focus more on his offense when he is the one handling the ball.
