I lost my bet on that match. I have half the mind to change my bet to the underdog at the time but thought the 76ers is a better team. Alas, the Knicks was able to win this game in their home. This bet broke my parlay. My bet with the Raptors which is the underdog won the game. Better luck next time for me.


For sure the Nets will be going down in team standing. Durant cannot carry the team alone. Unless Simmons suddenly comes to life and starts to command the ball like his old self back in Philly, then we can safely say they will be losing more in the future. It is just too bad that KD's tandem with Kyrie did not go so well. They could have been a great contender if the situation was different. Too much drama destroyed their team.

Yeah, just go 1/3 in my betting, lost my other underdog as well which is the Pacers.

But I was able to bounce back from:

NY Knicks vs Sixers - Knicks ML @2.80, 4.5 @2.09 pre-game. However, I just posted this in our local boards and not here. But it seems others too catch on the Knicks winning, so congrats.

A nice big catch. Live betting is really profitable sometimes as long as you know what you are doing. Congratulations on that.

1/3 on my early bets.
I was half right that the questionable players of the Grizzlies will play, Jackson did but Ja Morant didn't. Well, that tells why the Grizzlies lost today.
The Raptors dominated them on the defensive end although it is still a close game with just a 3-point advantage win.

I played it safe betting for just -2.5 for the Philadelphia 76ers and they had the lead until the start of the 4th quarter. But, Evan Fournier got hot and bombarded them with threes, and then there's Grimes who keeps on making crucial shots. Good game for the Knicks.

Cleveland Cavaliers had no problem covering the spreads. This is one of my favorite teams that had not let me down for most of my bets. Now they are in the top 4 of the East if the Nets will keep on losing especially with Kyrie being traded.

I put my bet on the 3rd quarter I guess when they are only down by 3 points and I saw the odds are very attractive that's why I gambled on the Knicks and luckily, I won.

TBH, I hate Randle's style of playing which is more of an isolation, but there are times where he can just score 20+ points out there and carry the team alongside Brunson. Still, he's inconsistent and doesn't know when to stop to shoot when needed. Hartenstein and Fournier fouled out, but both of them has a big help towards their win on their home especially Fournier who scored 17 points and McBride stepped up as well in the absence of Barrett with 14 points. An impressive win for the Knicks who are down double digits in the early parts of the game.

Jokic and Murray didn't play and I believe it's expected because they just played on their home and travelled going to Minnesota. This is the reason why they didn't play thus, the odds in Stake are favoring the Timberwolves.

An easy win for the Wolves with this one. 6 players in double digits and they had more FG's than Denver. They also won in assists category with 33 against 19 for the Nuggets. Wolves now are at the 7th place and there only 2 games separating the 3rd and the 7th spot so a win streak will be a big help not only with the Wolves, but in the whole Western Conference.

You lost 3 out of your 4 bets. Not a good day for us brother.

Memphis Grizzlies vs Toronto Raptors

The Toronto Raptors (24-30) will visit the Memphis Grizzlies (32-20) tonight at FedExForum. The Grizzlies are a bit questionable since they are 1-5 in their last six games without Steven Adams. But they are still the favorite to win this game since they are playing at home.
Raptors key injuries: OG Anunoby (wrist) out
Grizzlies key injuries: Steven Adams (knee) out, Dillon Brooks (suspension) out, Jaren Jackson Jr (thigh) questionable, Ja Morant (wrist) questionable

New York Knicks vs Philadelphia 76ers

Philadelphia 76ers will visit the New York Knicks (28-26) tonight at Madison Square Garden. The 76ers are very hot with 9 wins in their last 10 games. Even without Joel Embiid, this should be a win against the New York Knicks.
76ers key injuries: Joel Embiid (foot) questionable

Here are my picks for today's game while posting this the Hornets and Magic are in the 4th quarter

Indiana Pacers VS Cleveland Cavaliers

The stake odds for this game are 2.55 for the Pacers and 1.54 for the Cavaliers, right now Daniel Theis can not play for the Pacers, while Dylan Windler can not play for the Cavaliers, and Caris LeVert is questionable for the Cavaliers, for me this is a close game for sure but I may go with the underdog the Indiana Pacers for this one,

New York Knicks VS Philadelphia 76ers

The stake odds for this game are 2.43 for the Knicks and 1.59 for the 76ers, right now Mitchell Robinson can not play for the Knicks while Joel Embiid is questionable if he can play for the 76ers, for this game I will surely go with the Philadelphia 76ers, I think that Joel Embiid can still play for this game,

New Orleans Pelicans VS Sacramento Kings

The stake odds for this game are 2.11 for the Pelicans and 1.77 for the Kings, Right now Brandon Ingram, Dyson Daniels, Zion Williamson, and E.J. Liddell can not play for the Pelicans, and Jonas Valanciunas are questionable if he can play for the Pelicans, while De'Aaron Fox can not play for the Kings, for this game Brandon Ingram is back now with Toe Injury, man this dude is prone to be injured, him and Zion Williamson so for this game my pick are the Sacramento Kings,

Minnesota Timberwolves VS Denver Nuggets

The stake odds for this game are 1.32 for the Timberwolves and 3.50 for the Nuggets, right now Karl-Anthony Towns can not play, and Kyle Anderson, Rudy Gobert, and Jordan McLaughlin is doubtful they can play for the Timberwolves, while Collin Gillespie can not play for the Nuggets, and Jack White, Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and Nikola Jokic are all questionable if he can play, for this game I will look if Nikola Jokic can not play but for now I think I may switch if Jokic and Murray could play so my pick will be Minnesota Timberwolves at the moment,

Second night of a back to back I might take the 76ers here -4 against the Knicks on that back to back.  If embid plays he puts in an easy 40 points.  Spread seems low.

Taking the Grizzlies-2 they need to turn this around.

And last I'm taking Timberwolves-3.5 at home against Denver who I think jokic is out.

Good luck today everyone.

Aaron Gordon and Nikola Jokic has been questionable for days already even against the Warriors last time because of their ankle and hamstring injury, respectively. But both of them are still playing last time against the Hawks even with injuries, now it'll be a back-to-back games for them, let's expect it already as they might rest both stars.

Back to betting lines, I still got the Nuggets ML despite the expectation because even if both named players won't be playing with the team, they have still have Murray and few other role players to defend the lines against the underperforming Wolves. In additional, I also got Grizzlies (-2.5)

No one is listed on the player props for Denver Nuggets yet, only Anthony Edwards is there which is something to doubt about. Most of the time they already input the list especially if the game will be that early. KCP is still the only one listed as day-to-day injury. Other than that, no other reports yet.
This is risky as the spreads are questionable.

6 games later. Place your picks brothers.
Indiana Pacers - Cleveland Cavaliers - Cleveland Cavaliers (-5.5) Tyrese Haliburton may be back but the Cavaliers are still the stronger team between the two. The Pacers are good playing at home but so do the Cavs playing on the road with a 10-16 record.

New York Knicks - Philadelphia 76ers - Philadelphia 76ers (-2.5) Playing it safe at -2.5 while Joel Embiid is in questionable status. 76ers could win with Harden and Harris but I don't think it will be too far against the Knicks.

Memphis Grizzlies - Toronto Raptors - Memphis Grizzlies (-3.5) Anunoby is out for the Raptors, and the Grizzlies have Morant and Jackson under questionable. I am optimistic though, that both players will still be able to play. Fingers crossed. For those who want to make sure, do bet before game time.

Good luck.

The Nuggets just released their forecasted line-up and injury report for the game versus the Timberwolves tomorrow, and I found out that their report contains the same when they faced the Hawks earlier today. But there's a change on the handicap because they are now +2.5 while the Wolves is now the favorite to win by the bookies.

If you want to bet on this one, just do a live betting mate to minimize your risk or if you don't have time to watch the game then it's better to skip it because Jokic and Gordon is probable.

Home record, back-to-back games, or possible that there is something that we bettors don't know.

The best reason that I know is the home record of the Wolves. There was a time where the Wolves had an 8 straight home game wins (correct me if I'm wrong because I'm not sure with the number, but I'm pretty sure it happened), and the record of the Wolves at home is 19-12. Not that impressive, but I guess enough.

Maybe the fact that the Nuggets are playing back to back might affect their performance as well. I mean they are just humans and just after their game on their home against the Hawks, they will rest a few hours and then travel 14 hours and 8 minutes just to go to Minnesota. I mean just imagine the tiredness of the players. That might also be the reason as well. With this, we might see players not playing for the Nuggets and will give most of the time to their role players thus, affects the odds of gambling websites. Again we don't know.

Aside from coming from a back-to-back game, the Timberwolves are playing at home, and is a hard match-up against the Denver Nuggets. The Denver Nuggets are still expected to win though. On stake.com, Nuggets odds are listed @ 2.18 Moneyline. I think there is news that Jokic will not be playing but if you want to be sure, confirm if Jokic is playing before making the bets.

Won my 3 legged parlay today and all with good odds too.

New Orleans Pelicans vs Los Angeles Lakers
Detriot Pistons vs Phoenix Suns
New York Knicks vs Los Angeles Clippers

I initially wanted to bet on Lakers but eventually changed to Pelicans. James was listed questionable but played in the game. Luckily, even with Lebron playing, the Pelicans were able to defend their home.

Only bookmakers knows that, but if you are in doubt, better skip this game and just watch without bet.
Hopefully you'll still enjoy. 

It will be easier for him to finish a triple-double every night as that points and rebounds are already guaranteed, he'll just have to work on the assist which he's been doing pretty well so far based on their previous games. Murray being back to his old self is a huge success not only for him but for the team as that will make them ready in the playoffs, of course, Porter Jr. is also back to normal.

Here is the result of the pick for games today,

Brooklyn Nets VS Washington Wizards SCORE 125 - 123 - LOST

The Washington Wizards have a chance in giving their all to the Nets because the Brooklyn Nets don't have Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant they are leading the 1st half until the Brooklyn Nets started to gain momentum because of Cam Thomas, so even without Irving and Durant the Nets have won a close game against the Wizards, Nic Claxton got a double-double of 13 rebounds and 15 points, Edmond Sumner got 29 points and Cam Thomas got 44 points leading the Nets to victory,

New Orleans Pelicans VS Los Angeles Lakers SCORE 131 - 126 - LOST

The Lakers are going ballistic in the 1st half of the game until the Pelicans cut it short in the 2nd half but it was a close game Pelicans have proven even without Zion Williamson other teams don't have to underestimate them, Trey Murphy III got 21 points, CJ McCollum got 23 points and Brandon Ingram got 35 winning the game against the Lakers, that has Anthony Davis,

Golden State Warriors VS Dallas Mavericks SCORE 119 - 113 - WIN

In a close game against the Dallas Mavericks, now without Luka Doncic, the Golden State Warriors are leading the game in the 1st quarter, with over 17 points then the Mavericks have made momentum but the Warriors didn't allow it, winning this game, Klay Thompson got 14 points, Draymond Green got 17 points, and Stephen Curry got 21 points winning the game against a Maverick that doesn't have any Luka Doncic,

Denver Nuggets VS Atlanta Hawks SCORE 128 - 108 - WIN

From start to finish the Denver Nuggets are in the league, and the Atlanta Hawks can not make any lead, Nikola Jokic has a triple-double for this game of 18 rebounds 10 assists, and 14 points, Aaron Gordon got 15 points, Michael Porter Jr. got 23 points and Jamal Murray got 41 points solidly winning the game against an Atlanta Hawk that doesn't have Trae Young,

I'm a bit curious about the line of Denver vs Timberwolves. Can anyone explain why Denver is only -1.5 knowing how good they are and the Wolves are struggling? I get that they are into a back-to-back game, but as long as Jokic will not rest, I think they will likely dominate the Wolves.

And also, Jokic will not have a  heavy load carrying the team because they have Murray who fill the points stats already.

I read in an article saying that Kyrie will never play with the Nets again, even if he is not traded.
So going forward, let us not expect that we will see Kyrie playing with his current team, and that also means that the Nets will never go to the playoffs.

I've won on another game, it was the Bulls having a big come back as well and I was able to get 3.25 ML.


Good luck, this is a tough one as Magic is a tough team to beat.

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.
