I also never see the Nets with that huge comeback, but also it has something to do with Kuzma getting injured. Unfortunately, I totally missed the game last night, not a single bet, but I could have bet on that Wizards knowing that Kyrie is not going to play.

So again, congrats to the rest of the winners. Some games are early in my timezone.

My early picks is:

Hornets vs Magic - I think Hornets will have to do better, they might win at home -1.5 @1.95.

You're Welcome.
But, the Warriors seem to always fail us at closing games. Sure, they lost Steph Curry in the 3rd quarter of the game due to a foot/knee injury but their lead is 20 points and they got careless at protecting it. We could've hit that -10.5 if only someone had stepped up his game. Kuminga did, but they let Draymond shoot the threes when it should've been Klay who is doing that.

2/3 for my early bets, I was expecting a perfect one though.
Chicago Bulls had a little problem from the Trail Blazers' resistance but they covered the spread. Vucevic, LaVine, and DeRozan combined 86 points, this should be their normal stats every game. Thankfully, LaVine woke up again after a bad scoring on his last 2 games.

Denver Nuggets also covered the spread without a problem. Jamal Murray closed the gates for the Hawks to come back after he managed to shoot 3 three-pointers. A monster game for him with 41 points and we could really say he is back.

Cam Thomas? The one who upset the Knicks last season when they Nets are down also by 25, but made a comeback on the road. Maybe some can't remember it anymore, but Stephen A. Smith was upset on the Knicks at what happened to them and his disappointment was on Youtube . Kind of funny to me that I can't forget it.

Well, it's a bit surprising, but seeing both teams, Kuzma was also out in the 2nd quarter and didn't return because of an ankle sprain and it's only Porzingis that is the all-star there. Anyway, it's the three-point shooting in the 2nd half that made the Nets made a comeback, and the heroic performance of Cam Thomas. A trivia, Cam Thomas is the 3rd Nets player who scored 40 or more off the bench. They knew that he can be the guy that can step up when needed. It's just sad that he isn't a consistent player maybe because he doesn't been given that much time to play.

Anyway, good comeback win for the Nets and that is without Irving who is making a drama again. Congratulations to all winners of their bets as well.

Anyone here get trap on the Wizards vs Nets?, no Kyrie and the Nets are depleted, but Cam Thomas huge 44 points for the Nets.

They make a great comeback from the Wizards to be able win this game. Morris missed both crucial free throws to at least time the game. And in the rebounds it was a scramble but Nets come up with a big rebound to seal the win.

My picks loss last night, I hope we will win tonight.

My picks  for tonight.

New York Knicks vs Los Angeles Clippers = Los Angeles Clippers Win 1,62 Odds.

New Orleans Pelicans vs Los Angeles Lakers =  Los Angeles Lakers Win 2,00 Odds.

Good luck guys.

New Orleans Pelicans vs Los Angeles Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers (25-28) will visit the New Orleans Pelicans (26-27) tonight at Smoothie King Center. Lebron James is questionable at this game due to an ankle injury, probably saving his legs for the big moment at home against the Thunder.

Lakers key injuries: Austin Reaves (hamstring) out, Russell Westbrook (non Covid illness) questionable, Lebron James (ankle) questionable
Pelicans key injuries: Dyson Daniels (ankle) out, Zion Williamson (hamstring) out

Detriot Pistons vs Phoenix Suns

The Phoenix Suns (28-26) will visit the Detriot Pistons (14-39) tonight at Little Caesars Arena. The Phoenix Suns are the favorite to win this game.

New York Knicks vs Los Angeles Clippers

The LA Clippers (29-26) will visit the New York Knicks tonight at Madison Square Garden. The Knicks are the worst team at home going at 13-14.

Clippers key injuries: John Wall (abdomen) out
Knicks key injuries: Jalen Brunson (illness) questionable, Mitchell Robinson (thumb) out

Another piss poor night of betting last night rough week continues.  But tonight is a new night right

I've laid off betting my knicks but them giving 3.5 points at home seems like a stretch.  Knicks +3.5. Kawhi will have a big night but knicks prevail by 2!

Gimme golden state by 10 at home.  No luka= worst team in the NBA.  Dallas is God awful without Luka on the floor.  Gs wins easily.

Heat on the road +5.5 against the Bucks.  Jimmy buckets hot held down in NY expect a big game out of him and a close game.

Last (for now) I like the Nuggets-7.5 at home against the Hawks.  Tough matchup here but think Denver pulls it out.

Good luck everyone!

Thanks for sharing some details about the upcoming games mate, we really appreciate you for sharing to us your advance picks and its information regarding the possible line-up of the selected match-up.

That said, I'll be riding with you for the Warriors (-10.5) as I do think as well that they can cover the given handicap without any huge struggles as Luka and Wood was already ruled out while Spencer is questionable. And to add that, it will be Clippers (-3.0) because I have a feeling that J. Brunson might rest in this game.

I also don't trust the Phoenix Suns keeping a lead, they sometimes gradually lose it when their opponent immediately catches up to them, but they can surely play under pressure, but that is if Devin Booker was not on the team, but for the Celtics, I really think that they just have a bad day that time, because for me compared to the Suns the Celtics sometimes is consistent,

While the Wizards this is very common for them if they become pressured they will sometimes lose their Rhythm and now their opponent gained momentum,

---

Now here are my picks for today's game,

Brooklyn Nets VS Washington Wizards

The stake odds for this game are 1.90 for the Nets and 1.94 for the Wizards, Right now Kyrie Irving, Ben Simmons, and Kevin Durant can not play for the Nets, and T.J. Warren is questionable if he can play for them, while Anthony Gill, can not play for the Wizards and Bradley Beal is questionable for the Wizard is he can play, so for this game because Irving and Durant can not play for the Nets this is surely noticeable my pick are the Wizards,

New Orleans Pelicans VS Los Angeles Lakers

The stake odds for this game are 1.83 for the Pelicans and 2.03 for the Lakers, Right now Dyson Daniels, Zion Williamson, and E.J. Liddell can not play for the Pelicans, while Austin Reaves still can not play for the Lakers, and Scotty Pippen Jr., Anthony Davis, LeBron James, and Russell WestBrick are all questionable if they can play for this one I will wait for further announcement of Lebron, Davis or even WestBrick if they can play but for now I will pick the Lakers winning this game,

Golden State Warriors VS Dallas Mavericks

The stake odds for this game are 1.21 for the Warriors and 4.60 for the Mavericks, Right now Andre Iguodala, can not play for the Warriors, and Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, Stephen Curry, and Patrick Baldwin Jr. are all questionable if they can play  for the Warriors while Davis Bertans, Christian Wood, Luka Doncic, and Maxi Kleber can not play for the Mavericks, for this game you know me even Luka Doncic can play I will still go with the Warriors, but for this game Curry, Green and Thompson can surely rest this game, but still my pick are the Warriors,

Denver Nuggets VS Atlanta Hawks

The stake odds for this game are 1.43 for the Nuggets and 2.95 for the Hawks, for this game Jack White, and Collin Gillespie, can not play for the Nuggets, and Bones Hyland, Aaron Gordon, and Nikola Jokic is questionable if they can play for the Nuggets while Trae Young is questionable if he can play, in this game I tend to change my pick if Nikola Jokic can not play for the Nuggets and Trae Young for the Hawks, but my pick for now is the Denver Nuggets,
 

And that's the usual Phoenix Suns being themselves, inconsistent and unpredictable, that is why they are able to win big time sometimes as teams in the league could be underestimating them because they are out of synch and rarely in a good condition. Still, I'd classify them as a risky team when it comes to betting on their games.

Sharing my picks for the games later,

Los Angeles Clippers -2.5 vs New York Knicks
Atlanta Hawks vs Denver Nuggets -6

Celtics got decimated at home against a relatively weaker team. Can you imagine how many frustrated and angry individuals are at the time when that last 30 seconds of the 4th quarter ran? Gladly I didn't bet today since I just got home from vacation. This is the highlight upset of the day. Even my friends who regularly bet on the NBA cannot believe how Suns managed to beat Celtics with double-digit lead. It's shocking, but knowing how inconsistent the Suns are in their past games, this may be one of the games where they just perform good.

Yeah, it was a close one. I was waiting for PJ Washington to be explosive again but it turned out I was expecting nothing. That's two games now without double-digit points while playing 35+ minutes.

9 games later guys. Place your picks.
I saw one crazy spread and I think the Mavericks team will be undermanned against the Warriors.
Golden State Warriors - Dallas Mavericks - Golden State Warriors (-10.5) - Luka out, Dinwiddie questionable, Bertans out, and Christian Wood out.
Frank Ntilikina will probably do the playmaking with Tim helping for the offense. Where is Kemba Walker? I don't see him on their roster.

Denver Nuggets - Atlanta Hawks - Denver Nuggets (-5.5) Jokic questionable, Gordon also questionable. Time for Murray to shine brighter and does MPJ. Back-to-back games for the Hawks after winning against the Jazz yesterday.

Chicago Bulls - Portland Trail Blazers - Chicago Bulls (-4.5) - Vucevic is probable but I think he will play, I saw his name available for player props and I think it's a good sign. Another back-to-back game for the Trail Blazers. Bulls should take advantage of their exhaustion.

Good luck everyone.

They are inconsistent yes, because we are expecting them to lose and yet what we had witnessed was the opposite of our expectations.
Big win by the Suns, they really have that pride that they are a good team, sometimes they lose big, sometimes they win big, and it happened in this game.



Pistons vs Charlotte game was very close, it was down to the wire. About the Sixers game, that was an easy win by the 76ers, I guess they are top 3 in the teams that has a good percentage of covering the spread.

1/2, not bad.
I've got this one parlay for Orlando Magic ML and the Jazz ML that totaled @5.01. Bad luck as the Jazz cannot find their offense and their defense is not that good too, they are letting the Atlanta Hawks make shots that are too easy.
It could've been big as the Orlando Magic won their game against the Timberwolves. Should've just stayed with the singles.

They had a good offensive start which actually made me think they will win the game in a blowout. Well, I guess the unexpected does happen if you get careless at protecting the lead. KP was cooking and so do Beal, but it all went to waste.
Whoever took the risky bet for the Trail Blazers while they are down by 10+ is a big winner now.

Sometimes we have to be a bit wary when picking a team to bet with, when it looks like it will win easily, most likely it's a losing bet. After this lose, they were coming from a blowout win, so bettors was probably hyped with their past performance.

Yeah, even without Nurkic, they are still winning games. And actually, they are moving the ball well now, so they are very unpredictable. Lillard would stay consistent, while his supporting cast will do their respective jobs as well, this time it was Simons who was hot in the 3 point area.

Yeah, everyone was trap on the Celtics big time, we didn't expect the Phoenix team to just steam roll on the number 1 in the East and this is what in their homecourt? what a disappointment for Celtics fans and for those who bet on them.

I didn't catch on the Wizards vs Blazers game, but if that is the case, then definitely it's a ugly lost for them. On the contrary, Blazers are hot after their performance against the Memphis and it seems they are becoming a road team now.

I guess the spread of the Celtics was so attractive to trap bettors, LOL. I didn't expect that the Suns will have a huge lead at the early quarters, it seems like this team gets better and better against a strong team, I also remember when they have double figure underdog against the Memphis, but they came out strong and dominate the home team.

On the Wizards bet, it was a big disapointment because they just can't protect their lead, they're up 20 points and lose by 8 points in the end.

that is why I haven't made my bet for today's game, I am taking a break for today's game but still going to watch the action from the comfort of my home,

Right now the Wizards have won so you got one down, while the Boston Celtics are having a hard time in the 4th quarter and that is a Phoenix Suns that doesn't have Devin Booker, and lastly, 3rd Quarter and the Toronto Raptors have dominated the game against the Rockets but let's still watch what may happen with the game,


The Timberwolves are having a difficult time with the Magic, and it is the 3rd quarter right now, and it was a close game but let's see if they can make a lead against the Magic, while the 76ers are in the lead it was also a close game and the Spurs can still come back, so they still need to pursue that lead, and James Harden is stock in the 11 points score, I will be waiting for the results even though I haven't made a bet for today's game,

∆ A. Edwards 20+ pts / A. Edwards 3+ assists / T'Wolves ML @1.89 ∆   X

Wolves are only 0.5 games behind Dallas for the fourth seed in the West after winning four of their last five games. Magic did come away with an impressive and rather surprising win over Philly earlier this week. It's hard to imagine them pulling off two wins like that in such a short period of time given their defense sucks, they rank sixth worst in opponent fg% and 3pt% /L3.

I've also Ant to score 20+ points and get at least 3 assists, things he's done in each of their last 7 games, averaging 33 and 5 /L7.

Terrible week gambling here.  Going to take it down to just 2 games tonight hoping for at least a 2/3 to get back on track.

3 home teams 2 favorites and 1 dog

Wizards -3
Boston -10.5, how can't you take this team lol
And last gimme the Rockets +8 at home.  That's a lot of points to give while at home.

Good luck everyone.
