Ya, I believe the Lakers not only grabbed Scottie Pippen’s son (while MJ’s son grabbed Scottie Pippen’s ex-wife) but also Shaquille O’Neal’s son, but I believe Shaq’s son wasn’t good enough to make the roster. Not sure where he ended up but I recall both their sons in Lakers uniforms playing in the preseason if I’m not mistaken.

I don’t think LeBron gets the record tonight. I think he saves it for Thursday so it’s definitely happening and fans can make sure to plan for it. If he got it tonight I think there would be people who missed it because statistically he should only score 31 tonight.

As a lifelong diehard Chicago Bulls fan, I'm pretty shocked to see that I didn't even realize that Scottie Pippen Jr is currently playing in the NBA on the LA Lakers.  I had no idea that he was drafted already and good enough to play in the league.  Learn something new every day I guess.

That said, I'm in agreeance with the Lakers taking out the Thunder as well as covering the spread.  With Lebron James being only 36 points away from the all time scoring record, I can see them really turning things up and putting a whoopin on the Thunder.

Here are my picks for today's game

Orlando Magic VS New York Knicks

The stake odds for this game are 2.00 for the Magic and 1.85 for the Knicks, right now Chuma Okeke can not play for the Magic, Mitchell Robinson can not play for the Knicks, and R.J. Barrett is questionable if he can play for the Knicks, fairly enough it can be a close game, and I don't really trust the Knicks right now so I would go with the Orlando Magic, I will go to the slight underdog,

New Orleans Pelicans VS Atlanta Hawks

The stake odds for this game are 1.90 for the Pelicans and 1.95 for the Hawks, right now Zion Williamson, Dyson Daniels, and E.J. Liddell cannot play for the Pelicans, while Jonas Valanciunas and Brandon Ingram are both questionable if they can play for the Pelicans, while the Atlanta Hawks doesn't have any injuries, for this match, because of the number of injuries and doubtful players I will go with the Atlanta Hawks this time,

Brooklyn Nets VS Phoenix Suns

The stake odds for this game are 2.95 for the Nets and 1.42 for the Suns, right now Seth Curry, and Kevin Durant can not play for the Nets, and T.J. Warren, Spencer Dinwiddie, Ben Simmons, Dorian Finney-Smith are all doubtful if they can play for the Nets, while Cameron Payne, Landry Shamet, and Jae Crowder can not play for the Suns, even though many are doubting the Nets right now I still see a bright future for them, because of 2 players I will not take the side of the underdog, my pick is the Brooklyn Nets,

Los Angeles Lakers VS Oklahoma City Thunder

The stake odds for this game are 1.39 for the Lakers and 3.15 for the Thunders, Right now LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Scotty Pippen Jr., and Austin Reaves are all questionable if they can play for the Lakers, while Luguentz Dort and Aleksej Pokusevski can not play for the Thunders and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl is questionable if he can play for the Thunders, but for this game, I think the Lakers could capitalize that doubtful players and may still use them in a proper rotation, so my pick is the Los Angeles Lakers,

6 games later.
One of those games could be record-breaking history if Lebron James would reach the required points to pass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Would definitely not want to miss that game.

Early picks.
Orlando Magic - New York Knicks - New York Knicks (-2.5) - These guys are absolutely always hungry for a win. Being 7th in the East, they may want to solidify it by being 6th to be safe in a playoff spot. Miami Heat is above them. RJ Barrett is questionable due to illness.

New Orleans Pelicans - Atlanta Hawks - Hawks ML - Been a fan of Pelicans and I know they are suffering from injuries. Ingram and Valanciunas probable to play.

Brooklyn Nets - Phoenix Suns - Phoenix Suns (-5.5) - The Nets will be underdogs for a lot of their games, Phoenix Suns will try to take advantage of them being undermanned.

Good luck.

Yup! he is not really a shooting guard I really don't know why he doesn't stick to his position but he might be up to something or maybe training himself on how to be like Kevin Durant, or maybe imitating Stephen Curry, because if it is not effective why he keeps on doing it, he is just too slow in doing this kind of things in dribbling and driving the ball towards the ring instead of making a pass to his teammates and making a play from there, It seems if this continues the New York Knicks might think of trading him


And the Warriors did great, for me even without Stephen Curry they can win a game at home with Jordan Poole, but with the guidance of Klay Thompson and Draymond Green I guess Jordan Poole can surely go out of his comfort zone, anyway, they still need Stephen Curry in some crucial game surely for the championship,

I am seeing lucky people here that are winning perfectly congrats to you, I haven't made any bets for today's game because of the unlucky bet I made, surely all I need is a breather, but I will gather intel 1st for tomorrows game,

Yeah I agree with you that both of them are a great defenders and include Zubac which is also a great rim defender and a rebounder as well.

It's my mistake because I got attracted by the odds and it's their home court and at the same time, Thomas just erupted again that's why I put my bet on them. They got a 7 or 8 point lead until the Clippers made 2 7-0 runs because of the mistakes that the Nets did.

They aren't in the 4th spot for nothing.

They are only 1 game away from the 3rd and 3 games away from the 2nd. I just hope that injuries will not spoil their good run this season because both of them have a history of injuries. Without them, they are just a regular team.

That's how I see the Clippers too, Leonard is so back to his old self, so this team is a scary team now. With Leonard leading the team, they will surely have more wins in the coming games and the playoff spot will be ensured. They beat the Nets but unfortunately they failed to cover the spread, or maybe you guys won if you bet early as I believe the line just moved.

Congratulations to you too! It is a good day for both of us. I was not able to watch the games because I was too tired from work last night and fall asleep mid games. I checked my bets after I woke up and bam, it hits!


It is hard to bet against the Clippers if both Kawhi and PG are on the floor. They are great defenders and closers that can easily wipe the lead of their opponents. Especially against the Nets right now which does not have a reliable superstar on the floor. The odds can be attractive, but you have to look at who they are going against, Kawhi and PG with very reliable role players.

I put a small amount of money to the Nets during the game before they got an 8 point lead at the 4th quarter and seeing that attractive odds, I gambled to them.

Unfortunately, because of them going out cold in the final minutes of the game, the Clippers made a 7-0 run 2 times to get the lead and eventually getting the victory on the road. I thought that the Nets will pull out on this one because Cam Thomas is on fire, but turnovers and missed shots in the final minutes cause them to lose on their home.

Anyway, I didn't share my bets here as you gamblers are always doing because there are times where I'm putting my bet during the game. In this one, I bet on 4 games. 2 bets before the game and 2 during the game. I won with my 2 bets before the game, but lost on the 2 games during the bet.

Golden State Warriors - Oklahoma City Thunder @ 1.62 = Win
Utah Jazz - Dallas Mavericks @ 1.75 = Lost
Brooklyn Nets - Los Angeles Clippers @ 3.95 = Lost
Washington Wizards - Cleveland Cavaliers @ 1.6 = Win

Congratulations to all of the winners, and better luck next time to us who lost a few bucks today.

Congratulations @jakelyson for winning your parlay.   Nice.

Perfect early bets, perfect parlay, perfect day! Beers on me!  

One parlay with spreads, the other just ML's.

It's the Clippers that scared the hell out of me when they cannot do something about Cam Thomas, I thought that's where the parlay will break too early.
He scored 47 freaking points and almost all of his shots are sinking in. Thankfully, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George made a good run to take the lead back and then more as the Nets are having a hard time coming back. The Clippers being good at closing games helped a lot.

It's a very nice day, I hope you all do too.

Washington Wizards vs Cleveland Cavaliers

Should probably take a day or 2 off but this has got to turn around lol.

Utah -9 against Dallas.  With Luka out and kyrie not playing yet they shoukdnt win and can see them getting blown out.

Celtics -10.5 on the road.  Big spread on the road but Celtics should roll on this one.

Clippers -8 against Nets.  No kyrie, no Durant, no win.

Good luck tonight everyone!

That Boston spread though is quite giving me some struggle to decide because even if they are a heavy team, a spread like that is already high on my perspective. But I guess that's already reasonable enough because they are up against Pistons. So, yea, tailing you with the Boston -10.5 handicap and the Clippers -5.5 too as no Irving and Durant now for the Nets.

Is De'Aaron Fox playing tonight?

My picks for tonight.

Brooklyn Nets vs Los Angeles Clippers (-2.5) = First Quarter Win 1,86 Odds.

Portland Trail Blazers  vs Milwaukee Bucks (-4.5) = Milwaukee Bucks Win 1,83 Odds.

Golden State Warriors(-3.5) vs Oklahoma City Thunder = Golden State Warriors Win 1,78 Odds.

Good luck guys.

I believe the Brooklyn Nets are aiming for something here that would be good for the team in the next few years and the bad news is, they will be suffering right now because they had to pay some consequence before the next big thing happens to them. Nothing special about the Nets now especially that Durant is still injured and won't be playing for the next few weeks.

But for the Luka and Kyrie chemistry, that will take time to marinate but I guess they won't be having some struggles because Kyrie already knew right from the start that Luka is the main man and he can adapt the role easily.

Here's my bet for tomorrow, Cleveland Cavaliers -2.0 vs Washington Wizards. Goodluck!

I doubt that for Simmons. He ain't that ready yet, he still moves like a rookie and even his type of player is not in a state that other players will look up to as a leader. Nets will be broken again, I expect more from Dinwiddie than him.

I think most of us are curious about how this will proceed, two alphas in one team had never worked, even Miami Heat with Lebron and Wade had a hard time before winning a championship but let's see, it's not like Luka had played with players like him. KP is an example.
Let's not just expect too much as early as this.

8 games later.
Detroit Pistons - Boston Celtics - Boston Celtics (-10.5) Still no Marcus Smart, he may be back after the All-Star. Detroit Pistons could sometimes surprise other teams but I doubt they can with a consistent Celtics team. Also, they are hungry after the defeat against the Phoenix Suns.

Brooklyn Nets - Los Angeles Clippers - Los Angeles Clippers (-5.5) This may be an easy one for the Clippers. They are broken now with regards to the recent news so I don't know how they can force a win even at home.

Chicago Bulls - San Antonio Spurs - Chicago Bulls (-10.5) The Bulls are red hot after a 2-win streak, I hope they can continue. LaVine finding his rhythm one more time will be their key to winning this in a blowout.

Houston Rockets - Sacramento Kings - Sacramento Kings (-6.5) Kings all the way!

Good luck everyone.

Nah, I think NYK knicks are an underrated team. They are not popular but they are showing consistency, even if they lose sometimes, but it's always a close game. Brunson really is a huge addition to the team, he makes this team exciting to watch and beating the 76ers, that's a huge lift after losing to the Clippers in a thrilling OT game. I've won my bet too but it's on the +5.5.

Great catch for those who have that guts in taking the risk for NYK ML, though it isn't that expected, but that's how NBA games
works, unexpected outcome that brings sweet wins for those who take the risk.

Though, most of the time the eye is for those favorites and the handicap but there are people who love to take that kind of
gamble who really wanted to make some decent profits.

Moving forward, there are lots of games tomorrow. Still have time to analyze and pick the best game to place your bets.

There are some nice looking odds for the markets on how Lebron makes his record breaking basket for the all time scoring record.
The interesting one to me is which team he will score it against.

https://sportsbet.io/sports/sportsbet-specials/daily-specials/nba-specials/matches

Watched him play against New Orleans over the weekend and he had 27 points which was sort of low for the 40 minutes he was on the court.
He is 36 points away from passing over Kareem Abdul jabbar's career milestone.

That's to have a salary cap space for the team so they can acquire better players in the off-season.
The question right now is what's next for Durant. His buddy Kyrie has been traded already so what's next for him. Will he stay for the Nets next season? Will he request for a trade "again"? Will he trust the front office and say to them to get another all-star player aside from him in the off-season? I'm excited about him as much as the Nets' run this regular season.

That will lessen the burden for Luka because at least now he has a point guard and at the same time, a prolific scorer as well. Before the trade happens, many thought of how these 2 ball-dominant stars will play for each other. I believe some adjustments will happen after this trade, but now the chances of Dallas winning the title jumped massively.

I did a quick search on Google on how many shots he is taking per game this season.

As per ESPN, he is taking 8.3-18.1 shots per game. He's a Power Forward and not a Shooting Guard like you said. I did also made a quick search on how many shots a Shooting Guard is attempting per game and the average is at around 10-20 though some are lower, but the point is Randle isn't playing the position he is right now. He feels that he's the shooting guard of the team well he's not. He's also awful in defense as well.

They still have Thompson and Poole that can still erupt anytime. The Warriors are 20-6 in their home and the Thunder are 9-16 on the road so maybe gambling with a Curry-less Warriors is still a good bet for me. Don't try it though with a large amount. .
