Nice catch with the Warriors +8.5, I hope you had a bit on the absolute value of the Warriors ML too ? They were able to  win the game with all explosiveness of Jordan Poole.

Orlando Magic with a little surprise of their own too, the starters weren't doing too well and looks like it was going to be a W for the Pelicans until the Orlando Magic had their 2nd unit on the floor, and they took over completely and the coach just had to let the 2nd unit complete the job, Paolo Banchero the No 1 overall draft pick didn't even come on to the court for the entire 4th Quarter, what a show!

You are not wrong, especially yesterday. 
I am with the Jazz and the Nuggets here, not just because of homecourt advantage but Nuggets had been on a great streak and I don't think it's the Indiana Pacers who can stop it. Just waiting if they can cover the spread but upon watching it looks like they will.

Utah Jazz on the other hand seems to have a difficult time putting a distance against the Brooklyn Nets. Kyrie is doing all the dirty work.
This could've been good bro if only they won the game. That was unexpected from the Warriors without their 4 stars playing. It rained three from their bench players. Even Kuminga and Patrick Baldwin had their share of three-point field goals.
23/43 made threes. Above 50 percent which is totally amazing without Curry and Klay. Good ball rotation means a good offense, a nice game there from the Warriors bench.

My picks for tonight.

San Antonio Spurs vs Los Angeles Clippers (-1.5) = First Quarter Win 1,79 Odds.

San Antonio Spurs vs Los Angeles Clippers (-5.5)  = Los Angeles Clippers Win 1,71 Odds.

Los Angeles Lakers vs Memphis Grizzlies (-4.5) = Memphis Grizzlies Win 1,72 Odds.

Good luck guys.

∆ Cavs ML / C. LeVert 20+ PRA / D. Garland 2+ 3pt @1.70 ∆  X

Cavs ML is added solely to increase the overall odds. Coming into this game, Golden State has one of the league's worst away records, and they will face Cleveland, which has one of the league's best home records. Warriors' entire starting lineup is also being rested tonight: Curry, Klay, Green, and Wiggins are all ruled out.

LeVert finished his last game as a starter with 23/6/4 in 40 minutes and the most shots for his team, and whether the game tonight is a blowout or not, he should see at least 30 minutes of action. I have no doubt he will cover the 20+ PRA line, as the Warriors rank near the bottom against opposing SGs in some key categories.

Garland is averaging 2.4 3s per game /L7 on 40% shooting and has made 10 3s /L2, will face the GSW defense, which allows the second most 3s to opposing PGs playing on back-to-back with their second unit...looks like the perfect matchup for him.

Let's see if we can get 5 in a row...

It has been reported that Paul George will play in this game, so I will go with the Clippers on this one, to finally end their losing skid -6.5 @1.88

Cavs vs Warriors - GSW have had issues on the road, and as I see, 8.5 @2.28 is not that bad bet so I'll take that risk.

Jazz vs Nets - Jazz at home, -5.5 @1.96. Nets out of shape, Kyrie can't bring the team and carry it to his shoulder.

That's the game that I will go and bet pre-game. Best of luck.

Well, apparently I realized that several users lost on their bets lol just kidding...

Guys, is anyone else here excited and or looking forward to today's game between the Nuggets vs. Pacers and Jazz vs. Nets!!?

I'd say I'm right with OG on this one, the Pelicans seem to be on another level entirely, and he's pointed out even without Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson, CJ McCollum is literally just enough to facilitate a win for the Pelicans.

_______

I'd also love to take the Clippers spread, but I'd have to wait until the lineup is available before making my call, or I'll just settle for the overs without second thoughts, due to how heavy the Spurs have been allowing into the net on their own end of the court.

Orlando Magic vs New Orleans Pelicans @ 1.79

The New Orleans Pelicans (26-19) will visit the Orlando Magic (16-28) tonight at Amway Center.
Pelicans key injuries: Brandon Ingram (toe) out, Herbert Jones (back) questionable, Naji Marshall (toe) questionable, Zion Williamson (hamstring) out
Magi key injuries: Franz Wagner (ankle) questionable

San Antonio Spurs vs Los Angeles Clippers @ 1.35

The Los Angeles Clippers (23-24) will play against the San Antonio Spurs (14-31) tonight at AT&T Center. Against a tanking team with 2 wins in their last 10 games, Clippers is a sure ball.
Clippers key injuries: Luke Kennard (calf) out , John Wall (abdominal) out
Spurs key injuries: Devin Vassell (knee) out

Denver Nuggets @ 1.23 vs Indiana Pacers

The Indiana Pacers (23-23) will play against the Denver Nuggets (32-13) at Ball Arena tonight. Nuggets are on a 8-games winning streak and Pacers on 5-games winning skid.

Pacers key injuries: Tyrese Haliburton (knee) out
Nuggets key injuries: Collin Gillespie (leg) out, Jeff Green (finger) questionable, Jamal Murray (foot) probable, Peyton Watson (ab) out

Another night another night to right the ship here :/

So far after digging in I like the Warriors +11.5 at clevland
Heat on the road -1.5 at Mavericks
Grizzlies on the road in LA -6

and finally one home team Sacramento-4.5 at home.

Good luck to everyone tonight.

^ I like your picks except for the Orlando Magic vs New Orleans Pelicans pick. Orlando is basically tanking to try and get the first pick and CJ McCollum I think is enough for the Pelicans to beat them. We’ll see. When a team is tanking though I never like to give them the benefit of the doubt. There’s no way I’d place a bet for the Magic or the Rockets this season. They just seem way too likely to lose intentionally.

Now that the game yesterday has settled and right now I am not so feeling well about how my losses are starting to rack up here are my picks for today's game,

Orlando Magic VS New Orleans Pelicans

The stake odds for this game are 1.98 for the Magic and 1.87 for the Pelicans, right now Chuma Okeke, and Jonathan Isaac, can not play for the Magic, and Franz Wagner is questionable if he can play for the Magic while E.J. Liddell, Zion Williamson, and Brandon Ingram can not play for the Pelicans, Naji Marshall, and  Herbert Jones, are questionable if they can play for the Pelicans, for this game because Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram can not play and while CJ McCollum is the only big gun there I think I will try my luck with the Orlando Magic,

Utah Jazz VS Brooklyn Nets

The stake odds for this game are 1.34 for the Jazz and 3.40 for the Nets, Kelly Olynyk has an ankle injury and can not play for the Jazz, while Kevin Durant can not play for the Nets, for this game I think the Bigger portion of scoring for the Nets are lessened because of Durant's absence, so my pick is the Utah Jazz,

Sacramento Kings VS Oklahoma City Thunder

The stake odds for this game are 1.65 for the Kings and 2.30 for the Thunders, right now Domantas Sabonis, Matthew Dellavedova, and Alex Len are questionable if they can play for the Kings while Ousmane Dieng, Aleksej Pokusevski, and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl can not play for the Thunders I think that the Kings has a better advantage because of those 3 injuries for the Thunders, I think my pick is the Sacramento Kings,

Los Angeles Lakers VS Memphis Grizzlies

The stake odds for this game are 3.30 for the Lakers and 1.36 for the Grizzlies, right now Anthony Davis, Lonnie Walker IV, and Austin Reaves can not play for the Lakers, and LeBron James is questionable if he can play for the Lakers while Danny Green can not play for the Grizzlies, and Ziaire Williams is questionable, for me if Lebron James can not play then the Lakers would not have a chance in winning, but for this game, I can surely say that the Grizzlies may win this, so my pick is the Memphis Grizzlies,

You should've bet with the Lakers ML as well in addition with the +7 spread if you believe that Memphis are just overrated. Anyway, I think this might be the Lakers last homecourt game before they go and play on the road after having 5 consecutive games at home, I will bet on this live later on.

And I'll be tailing you with the GSW ML, Jazz -6.5 and Kings -3.5 .. Good luck to all bettors out there for the games tomorrow.

Same with @Sanitough I like the Jazz pick too, so I will be tailing it. I can't put my trust on Kyrie anymore, I've bet for them a number of times and all of it is wasted. I will just wait for KD's return before I make a bet for them again. For now, they are like an inconsistent team whose wins will come from lower-seed teams.

I'll take the risk too, hoping my money back from my lost bet yesterday. Desperation is the key. Steve Kerr should have a plan on how they can be more effective on the paint and rebounds despite the giants of the Cavaliers. Allen and Mobley.

Denver Nuggets - Indiana Pacers - Denver Nuggets (-10.5) This should be an easy win for the Denver Nuggets. Indiana Pacers are in their 5th losing streak, they may also be desperate but I doubt the Nuggets will let them win at their turf, Ball Arena.

Sacramento Kings - Oklahoma City Thunder - Sacramento Kings (-4.5) I always end up betting for the Kings. I won't stop now, especially at their home. OKC Thunders had been phenomenal with 4 win streak, but the Kings can definitely stop that.

Let's go!

I like the Jazz pick as personally I don't trust the Nets too to win on another road game. Also, I'm thinking of having a parlay bet on the Lakers + Warriors, the odds combine is 11.56 in my sportsbook, that sure is very attractive, so I'll put a little spare amount on that.

Let's move forward, we have plenty of games tomorrow to choose from.
I know betting early is not a good idea, but I will make an exception this time as I have an early errands tomorrow.

Jazz -6.5 - They have the momentum now, Nets are not the same team without Durant, so they are not different to a team they dominated which was the Clippers that visited them without Leonard and PG.

GS Warriors ML - I will be a little ambitious here, although this team will be playing a back to back game but I understand that they are desperate to win on the road. it's going to be the Size of the Warriors that will give them a win if they will be able to have a great shooting.

LA Lakers +7 - I think Memphis are just overrated, I won't be surprise if the Lakers will even win at home.

You would have won that bet if the Warriors were able to take care of their lead. They have been shooting pretty well in the 3 point already, but once again, the secret weapon of the Celtics was hot, I'm talking about Al Horford as this guy always has a good game against the Warriors.

That's some luck I got there, or because of Kyrie not giving up.
It was a 20-point lead before the 4th quarter started and I have given up on my +5.5 for the Brooklyn Nets. I literally stopped watching the game because of frustration.
After watching the replay it's good to see how Kyrie dominated the game on both inside and outside space of the floor. Phoenix Suns should be thankful they have Cameron Johnson back as he was the one who contributed a lot for them to succeed at winining the game or else, it will be a Kyrie show. 
They had the advantage and Klay and Curry are hot on distance shots with both recording 4/8 before the second half including the halfcourt shot by Curry.
The Warriors are definitely back if they can play at this level against the Boston Celtics. It will just be a manner of time before they get their rhythm back.

I got the underdog bet unfortunately, the Celtics vs Warriors is very close as it went into OT although the Celtics almost covered it in the OT however, we know that Warriors had this championship DNA and they are back in full force. I should have gotten the plus side on them, nevertheless, since I got the Wolves ML and then some, I'm happy for the result of my bet tonight.

It was a fun game to watch and both these teams are surely something to watch for me it was a close game the Golden State Warriors against the Boston Celtics, and the overtime the strength of the Warriors are already depleted so that opportunity was taken by the Boston and gotten the game a bit challenging for the Warriors but for me, I am not really disappointed on the lost if they have shown a great game with those 4 injuries that the Warriors have right now,  and I think Draymond Green really has shown his worth in this game again, I really think he deserves a full contract,

---

Now here are the results of my picks on today's game not looking good, but all games were really a close call,

Boston Celtics VS Golden State Warriors SCORE 121 - 118 - LOST

Minnesota Timberwolves VS Toronto Raptors SCORE 128 - 126 - LOST

Portland Trail Blazers VS Philadelphia 76ers SCORE 95 - 105 - WIN

Phoenix Suns VS Brooklyn Nets SCORE 117 - 112 - LOST

New Orleans Pelicans Vs Orlando Magics

Miami Heat vs Dallas Mavericks

Los Angeles Clippers vs San Antonio Spurs
