I maybe was tempted because I bet early, it was -1.5 when it opened, but when Jokic was announced unavailable, the spread moved in favor of the Clippers. The home team should win the game against a visiting team that does not have their best player...  This one turns into a big trap. 

Well Kuzma it is, yeah it was covered already, maybe someone shouted at the bench that he still needs to 2 points to get into the 40 point mark. So just 1/1 for me, not bad still though, we have plenty games tomorrow so we just have to do a catch up.

Sorry for your parlay, been hit with that kind of mishap and got destroyed.

For sure almost everyone here, knows the feeling. Interesting outcome as well for the Suns vs Timberwolves, the line open at +/-6.5. It was also covered as the Wolves make 2 free throws (I forget the name of the player), and then Damion Lee rush down as well similar to Kuzma to score a basket. So I stop watching it even though I don't have a bet, and perhaps someone score too in the last second to make it just a 4 point win for the Wolves.

I haven't followed any of these games, but I've given a brief look at the highlights of a few games.

Well, Knicks game was very tight and competitive, for Kuzma to get that score, I have no doubt it was a miracle lol

GSW was able to easily beat the Spurs. Curry played a few minutes and the Warriors began trading backup players.
With regard to the Warriors reserve players, only Iguodala failed to score above 10 points.
The Warriors knew how to manage this game very well and especially the rotation between the starting and reserve players.

They were something like 12:1 and 15:1. Not bad scores. I’m not even sure what made me bet parlays today but here we are. I didn’t know that the Joker was out to be honest, but it worked out. The Jazz, Timberwolves and Pelicans also came through with wins as I’d hoped. The Nuggets game was the final piece to the puzzle though.

Then it's a win for you. Both teams that you mentioned did win their respective games. Nuggets especially who were underdogs while the Kings covered the -10.5. How much were the odds of that parlay? I bet it is huge.
Speaking of parlays, here's one of my parlays that is just too sad to look at.

I thought so too that's why I avoided this game as there's a chance the Clippers will get the win and I don't like the spreads with just +5.5 for the Nuggets before the game started.
I think they are overwhelmed by the pace of the game as the Nuggets didn't go slow. Without Jokic there is no need to stay longer at making plays that will start with him. They just run and gun and shoot threes.

Nuggets confidence now are very high because they are in a long winning streak. Clippers was not given a chance though, actually, Clippers also miss P, so it's a fair game, it's just that Nuggets were the better team and they upset the favorite.


Yes, lots of favorites win the game, however, if you bet on the spread, you will lose in overall as most of them did not cover the spread.

Murray is able to provide leading the Nuggets in winning this game, no Jokic, but the squad is all ready to compete. It's nice to see Kawai trying his best, but the productions from his teammates ain't able to match the Nuggets' support.

Moving forward, most of the game favored the favorite aside from the Bulls and Clippers, a good job for those who
place their bets with ML and doing some parlay without these two teams as the win with the combined games are
really satisfying and enjoying if you pick the right selections for your combinations.

Bad bet on the Clippers, I was thinking they'll easily win because the Joker is not available, but it's just unfortunate that the opposite thing happen. Denver Nuggets dominated the home team beating them by 12 points.

No Joker, no problem for them as Murray and Porter Jr. have led the team against the Clippers.

Leonard scored 24 points, but he does not get more support from his teammates.

I just saw at the end of the game that this was the attendance record. A strange game to be the record but cool nonetheless. The Warriors came through and delivered a great performance. They also got me a game closer to hitting my parlays tonight. If the Nuggets and the Kings win then the rest of my night is going to get very interesting. I’ve got a 5 game and a 6 game parlay that are both still in play.

It's a win with a little bit of a problem for the New Orleans Pelicans but they managed.
I am expecting Cj McCollum to do the heavy lifting for their offense but it's Jonas Valanciunas who did the work. Recorded 33 points and 16 boards.
Damn Kuzma! He made the last shot. It already covered the -5.5 after the 2 free throws from Brunson but Kuzma sprinted and made a running shot.
It could've been perfect because the Warriors are already winning at Alamodome against the San Antonio Spurs. No doubt it will cover the spread with 30+ lead.
68,323 fans in attendance with the legends of Spurs watching the game. Wow!

Ouch, the Knicks won but by just 4 points, against the Wizards, 108-112, Kuzma had a terrific game, with 40 points.

I guess we have the answers for the Warriors vs Spurs game, 4th quarter already and the Warriors have a big lead going.

OKC and Bulls are very close at this point, hard to see who is going to win.

Here are the result of my bet, yesterday

Brooklyn Nets VS Boston Celtics SCORE 98 - 109 - WIN

Well, the Nets really have a great time in the 1st half of the game but at the end of that 1st half the Boston Celtics made a lead and it continued until the end, Kyrie Irving really hung on many have shown potential but surely still lacking something, Jaylen Brown didn't play because of injury but the Celtics have managed to win the game, because Kevin Durant also wasn't in the game, Derrick White made 15 points Marcus Smart had a double-double of 10 assist and 16 points and Jayson Tatum also got a double-double of 11 rebounds and 20 points,

Miami Heat VS Milwaukee Bucks SCORE 108 -102 - WIN

It was a close game the Miami Heat did a great job, in winning this and the Bucks did a great job in hanging on without Giannis Antetokounmpo, but still, the Heat manage on winning the game, Gabe Vincent got 28 points while Max Strus, Bam Adebayo, and Jimmy Butler all got a double-double of 10 rebounds and 12 points, 12 rebounds and 24 points and 11 rebounds and 17 points respectively,

Portland Trail Blazers VS Cleveland Cavaliers SCORE 113 - 119 - WIN

The Portland Trail Blazers had a great start in the 1st half but surely the Cavaliers have found a way in gaining momentum in the 2nd half of the game, and win the game, Darius Garland made a double-double of 10 assists and 20 points Jarett Allen got a double-double aswell of 10 rebounds and 24 points, while Donovan Mitchell had 26 points winning the game,

Los Angeles Lakers VS Dallas Mavericks SCORE 115 - 119 - LOST

It was a close game if Russell WestBrick wasn't blocked and that lay-up scored the Lakers can surely have had a chance of making a comeback but it was a pretty much close game, Tim Hardaway Jr. got 22 points, Christian Wood got a double-double of 14 rebounds and 24 points, while Luka Doncic got a Triple-double tremendous 14 rebounds, 13 assists, and 35 points,

∆ CJ. McCollum 30+ PA / N. Marshall 20+ PRA @1.75 ∆  X

In the past week or so, both Denver and Memphis have been able to open a gap on the Pels for the top two seeds in the West. NOP has dropped three of their last five games (it has to be noted all against very good teams but still...), so today's game in Detroit provides an excellent opportunity for them to get back on track.

Pistons are giving up the most fantasy points to opposing SG this season, ranking third worst in PTS (against SG), fifth worst in AST (against SG), etc.... CJ is primed for a good game. He's covered the 30+ PA line in 6/L7 games. With no Ingram or (and now) Zion, Naji Marshall has been putting in solid minutes for them. His shot attempts have increased dramatically in the last three games though, from around 10 per game to 17/L3. Can't see why he won't be able to deliver given the increased role/responsibility. He has covered the 20+ PRA line in 5/L5.

My picks for tonight.

Los Angeles Clippers (-1.5)  vs Denver Nuggets = First Quarter Win 1,92 Odds.

Los Angeles Clippers (-4.5) vs Denver Nuggets = Los Angeles Win 1,89 Odds.

Good luck guys.

Well, I confess that they will be interesting games!

And I also confess that the Knicks game could be interesting, I don't know, let's see what could happen!

By the way, I realized few people commenting on the Warriors vs Spurs game!!?
Guys, what do you think about this game!!? GSW will win easily?

It’s just been announced that Mac McClung will be participating in the NBA All Star Weekend Slam Dunk Contest. I think this might be the first time that they’ve allowed G-league players in the slam dunk competition. That might lead to some interesting contests in the future…

I wonder if we’ll be able to bet on the all star weekend events this year. I can’t remember if that was being offered last year or not.

I got 5 games tonight usually cap myself at four but these are some good lines.  4 homes teams one away:

Pacers -2, they will avenge their loss in ny
Bulls -4.5
Timberwolves -5 at home, Suns are reeling without Booker
And jazz -6 home against Orlando.

The lone away game I like...the Knicks-4.5. Knicks should roll Washington and actually Julius Randle plays better on the road.

Good luck tonight everyone!

I will tail you with 2 of the games mate.

I like the chances of NOP against Detroit, they are struggling, but I guess against the Piston they can snag a win with CJ on top of his game. Their losses are very close and it's against top teams.

Knicks vs Wizards - Knicks are hot right now, while the Wizards win against our Bulls the last time, Knicks looks solid this season and can easily cover that spread in my opinion.

I like the game between the Warriors and Spurs, it will be in front of huge audiences a target to break the current  records for most fans attendance, the spread is huge though.

But like what you mentioned, they have their core stars now and adjustment is not tough with how they
play the system, let see if they can convert it to a double digit lead after winning the game.
