Looks like you lost on both of these bets brother.

Boston - Golden State is just like we are watching a Finals series again. It went to overtime and luckily for them, Boston won. I guess the Celtics can get that win and didn't went to overtime if only Tatum didn't commit those 3 turnovers at the final minutes of the game, but it's good that Brown's three went in thus, tying the game. The Celtics are now 18-5 on their home, tied with the Bucks with best home record in the East while the Warriors are now 5-18 on the road and currently at the 9th spot.

On the other hand, the Timberwolves won against the Raptors on their home. The Raptors lead most of the game until the 10 minute mark of the 4th quarter where the Raptors lead by 14 at the 9:30 mark, but the Timberwolves made a 19-5 run in the last 6 minutes to tie the ball game at near the 4-minute mark and then they stole the win against the Raptors by only 2 points.

I don't know if it's only me but it seems like Naz Reid is better than Gobert. Both of them have pros and cons, but the main reason why I said this is that, Reid can be a center, has good handling skills, can drive the ball and he can shoot threes thus, stretching the defense of the opposing team. As to Gobert, he is a great defender, but he isn't a good shooter in both perimeters and three-point area. Nevertheless, I will still think that the Gobert trade will be one of the worst trades in NBA history.

Crazy games.
Lost both my early bets, but it was fun. Going for chasing my losses betting for the Brooklyn Nets while they are down by 10 points against the Phoenix Suns. Nets +5.5. I wish Kyrie will get hot in the 2nd half.
Edit: Ben Simmons ejected, hope is gone.

Boston Celtics won their game at home against the Golden State Warriors but I doubt it covered the spreads. -6.5 was the line if I remember correctly.
Man, I should've stayed on the safe side and taken the +5 for the Warriors. Greedy gambler.  

How about the Minnesota Timberwolves winning in a back-to-back game? That's just amazing. They are the underdogs because of that and yet they were able to snatch the win from the Raptors.
Congrats to the early winners.

Same thoughts, Knicks is capable of scoring in bunches if needed, however, Brunson didn't get the needed support again. Randle should be their first option, but he is non-existent in this game. So I just skipped today's game and enjoy as I have been in 2 game losing streak live betting. I will just take it easy today and watch some games like the Warriors vs Celtics which went into OT, it was like championship atmosphere.

Here are my picks for today's games

Boston Celtics VS Golden State Warriors

The stake odds for this game are 1.43 for the Celtics and 2.95 for the Warriors, right now Danilo Gallinari, can not play for the Celtics and Jaylen Brown is questionable if he can play for the Celtics, while Jonathan Kuminga, James Wiseman, JaMychal Green, and Andre Iguodala can not play for the Warriors all of them until January 20 which is this day, but for this game, I think that the Warriors are done from losing but the Celtics is not a pushover team and likely they need to be careful about this but for me, the Golden State Warriors is in a different league and they can surely win this against the Celtics so my pick is the Golden State Warriors,

Minnesota Timberwolves VS Toronto Raptors

The stake odds for this game are 2.60 for the Timberwolves and 1.52 for the Raptors, right now Karl-Anthony Towns, and Jordan McLaughlin, can not play for the Timberwolves, and Rudy Gobert and Austin Rivers are both questionable if they can play for the Timberwolves, while Raptors Dalano Banton is questionable if he can play for the Raptors, I think this is the 1st time for this two team to meet, and I think both teams are in a crucial position nearing the play-offs, while for me Toronto Raptors has that peace of mind that I will not lose my bet,

Portland Trail Blazers VS Philadelphia 76ers

The stake odds for this game are 2.11 for the Trail Blazers and 1.77 for the 76ers, right now Justise Winslow still can not play for the Trail Blazers, and Gary Payton II and Jusuf Nurkic are questionable if they can play while the 76ers don't have any problem with injuries, for that, I think I will go with the Philadelphia 76ers,

Phoenix Suns VS Brooklyn Nets

The stake odds for this game are 2.02 for the Suns and 1.83 for the Nets, right now Devin Booker, Jae Crowder, Cameron Payne, Josh Okogie, and Landry Shamet can not play for the Suns and Chris Paul is questionable if he can play, but for now, Kevin Durant can not play for the Nets, so I think they got pretty wild game, while Kyrie Irving is questionable if he can play so I think I would so with the Nets I think Irving would still play he needs to and Ben Simmons, Nicolas Claxton Royce O'Neale or Seth Curry will need to fill the gap or Durant until he returned,

My picks for tonight.

Phoenix Suns vs Brooklyn Nets (-5.5) = Brooklyn Nets Win 2,24 Odds.

Portland Trail Blazers vs Philadelphia 76ers = Philadelphia 76ers Win 1,73 Odds.

Good luck guys.

I got destroyed yesterday going 0 for.  Tonight's another night though so hopefully I can win some back.  Going to take all 3 home underdogs.

Timberwolves +5.5 at home
Suns +3 at home vs Nets
Portland +1.5 vs sixers.

And then I'm gonna take Boston home -6.5 have to take them with a small amount of points at home.

Good luck everyone.

I've got two plays for the early game, the so-called Paris game.

∆ K. Hayes 5+ assists / J. Ivey 1+ 3pt / B. Bogdanovic 1+ 3pt @1.85 ∆  won

K. Hayes is half-French, his family will be there to watch him today, i'm sure he'll be poised to do well. Prior to being drafted in the NBA, Hayes played in France. He is averaging 8 assists /L7 and covered the line in all seven games.

Bulls are giving the third most 3s to opposing SGs and the most 3s to opposing PFs on the season, hence i've got Ivey and Bogdanovic to make at least one. Bogdanovic has missed couple recent games but he's on 10+ game streak of at least one made. Ivey is averaging close to two 3s per game /L7, and has covered in 6/L7. I'm sure the NBA would like to keep it close, no blowouts or anything like that, also bookies have this game with the second-highest over/under spread of the day.


∆ Z. LaVine 20+ points / Z. LaVine 1+ steal / N. Vucevic 10+ rebounds @2.50 ∆  won

DeRozan is expected to play after missing a couple of games due to leg injury...however, his minutes may be managed. LaVine is more likely to take over the scoring duties again, he's averaging 30 points per game /L7 and had 43 the last time these two teams met. I also expect him to have 1 or more steals, as Detroit allows the third-most steals to opposing SGs.

Vucevic is averaging close to 14 rebounds per game /L7, has covered 10+ boards in 7/L7, and Detroit isn't known for being a good rebounding team, they are third worst in the league in rebounds given to opposing PFs.

edit;  Ivey with garbage time 3 FTW!

Not bad, 2/3 for me, I got the underdog Hawks against the Dallas in their homecourt.

Yeah, I do agree that the Boston Celtics vs Warriors is one of the most anticipated fight lineup for tonight, Boston -5.5 @1.84.

Bulls vs Pistons - weird to predict this game as this is going to be in Paris if I'm not mistaken.

T'wolves vs Raptors - I like the chances of T'Wolves as underdog so ML @2.60 and 3.5 @2.12.

And probably do some live betting as well.

Yes, I admit that the Warriors spread are too attractive and almost too good to be true but what's the point of betting if there's no risk, right? Warriors ML here.
Warriors will be visiting Celtics home and I think they will be winning this because they're on a campaign while climbing the upper seed.

Along with the Warriors,

Chicago Bulls -6.5 vs Detroit Pistons
Brooklyn Nets -1.5 vs Phoenix Suns

The Kings are always a tough matchup for the Lakers.  That young run and gun team really makes the old guys on the Lakers work to stay in the game.  Without Anthony Davis, I don't expect the Lakers to ever beat the Kings.

The Warriors and Celtics game will be televised on TNT tonight, so that one will be easily watchable and plus you get Shaq and Chuck.    Then the later game is between the Nets and Suns.  The rumor is that Kyrie will be back playing, so maybe that will be enough to get them by the Suns, who have been terrible since Booker went down with an injury.  Still though, no Kevin Durant will make this game closer than it should be.

Seems like almost everyone here was divided in the Lakers vs Kings game, well, I can't say that I expected this outcome but I somehow managed to bet on the Kings ML even knowing that Sabonis won't be around against the Lakers because there a part of me saying that Lakers is not that good even at home. I was pretty sad at first to see how the Lakers led the game in the first half but it's good to see that the Kings managed to turn the table.


This is a good game, I'll watch and bet on this live. It'll be good to ride with the Warriors ML because Jaylen Brown will not play tomorrow.

Warriors is in full first 5 power but they don’t have reliable substitute which is their main weakness right now. They only manage to get some win in the event that they get an early lead against strong team or of the opponent doesn’t have good substitute player too like what happened on the recent match against Wizard.

I believe Boston will gave them a hard time even with Steph Curry on fire. They will later on exhausted and can’t keep on Boston full pack roster. This is my first time to see current roster of Warriors. What the heck happened to their subs player. A lot of good players kick out just to maintain this first 5 that is useless on playing against strong opponent with good reserve.

Sacramento Kings are getting better each game. I didn't doubt them to win this game. The Lakers had their chance but Fox is just too much to handle.

5 games later.
Boston Celtics at home versus the Golden State Warriors. This should be fun. Celtics as heavy favorites of the game. I think I will try betting for the underdog on this one.

Phoenix Suns vs Brooklyn Nets - Nets ML No KD for the Nets, Kyrie is probable but I think he will play. Phoenix Suns on the other hand are in deep bad shape with a three-losing streak. Even if we say they will try to force a win here, they are undermanned.

Minnesota Timberwolves - Toronto Raptors - Toronto Raptors (-4.5) Back to back game for the Timberwolves, I bet they are exhausted from that Nuggets game while the Raptors are looking for a win after that defeat against the Bucks Giannis-less.

Good luck.

I might follow you on this one because Warriors spread are too attractive, I'm thinking maybe it's just a trap, so this one should be the right call. Well, not saying Celtics is guaranteed to cover that spread because to be honest, it's too high, so I can understand why most of us will choose the Warriors spread + the ML.

@danherbias07 I got the Lakers on that game and I was so confident that they will win at home. They had a good start but when Kings came back, they don't control the momentum anymore. Lakers are outrebounded and some roles players are not contributing well, of course, Kings are the better team as they are winning more games than the Lakers, but Lakers are at home, so that's a good advantage for them.

Anyway moving forward.

Warriors visiting the Boston tomorrow, I guess I'll go with the stats, Boston -6.5 is going to be my bet.

Good thing you made one. Congrats on that. I made nothing on my early bets. 0/3  I caught one during live betting though taking the Sacramento Kings ML vs LA Lakers.

Memphis Grizzlies won but did not cover the spread against the Cavaliers. The game was too close and the Cavs even had the chance to steal the game from them at their home. I thought being Donovan-less will make a big difference but Garland and LeVert covered the offense.

Dallas Mavericks lost against the Atlanta Hawks.
New York Knicks lost too versus Washington Wizards.
A truly frustrating night, same with my parlays that are combined with these games. An "Ouch" in the wallet. 

I can only tell about the Grizzlies vs Cavs, it was really close, Memphis started very slow in this game and allow the Cavs to take the lead. But then in the second quarter, they took a good double digit lead, and after that it was a back and forth game.

Cavs even take a 114-111 with a minute to go.

But there was a critical error by the Cavs when they were unable to inbound the game.

Sorry guys, I made 1/3 last night. I got unexpected results from 2 games.( Denver and Memphis)
Only my Miami game won.

Here is the result for games today,

Dallas Mavericks VS Atlanta Hawks SCORE 122 - 130 - LOST

It was a close game at 1st but surely the Hawks did a great game-leading, and they have stopped Luka Doncic from getting more than 30 points Trae Young has gotten a double-double of 12 assists and 18 points, John Collins got 19 points, and Dejounte Murray got 30 points winning the game for the Hawks,

New Orleans Pelicans VS Miami Heat SCORE 98 - 124 - WIN

Because of the many injuries of the Pelicans CJ McCollum is not really enough in getting a win but the Miami Heat was in full force going against the Pelicans, Both Max Strus and Gabe Vincent got 16 points and Strus had a double-double of 10 assists, Jimmy Butler got 18 points and Bam Adebayo 26 points, winning the game for the Heat,

Utah Jazz VS Los Angeles Clippers SCORE 126 - 103 - WIN

From start to finish the Utah Jazz got the upper hand against the Clippers, and just as I thought because of those injuries the Jazz have an advantage, Jordan Clarkson got 16 points, Mike Conley Jr. had 17 points and Lauri Markkanen have a double-double of 12 rebounds and 34 points, winning against the Clippers,

Los Angeles Lakers VS Sacramento Kings SCORE 111 - 116 - LOST

Even though Lebron James has played and has a great 32 points for the team because Thomas Bryant and Dennis Schroder didn't show their latent potential towards the game, Kevin Huerter got 18 points, Harrison Barnes got 20 points and De'Aaron Fox has 31 points winning against the Lakers,

Lakers are unable to snatch the win from the Kings, almost but the good rotation of kings players manages to keep them away from the attempt of lakers rally.

Another great production from LeBron, but a single player can't no longer lift the entire
team with the opponent with all are eager to beat you. Better luck next time for those
who take the risk for Lakers.
