I like the explanation on why you choose your bet. Bounce back from a lose is always a good factor to consider. I guess the pick with a high percentage of winning here is the Boston Celtics pick, it's their first game back home, and they came from 2 losing streak on the road, I believe they will be more than ready to dominate the Knicks, although I must say it's not guaranteed since NYK is also a good team, but I trust the home team here.

Yes, you are right, that's -6.5 before the game started at 2.00+. I was lucky I just picked the -3.5 there, didn't think it will that close considering Embiid was able to play although reported probable.

6 games tomorrow guys. Place your picks.
Boston Celtics vs New York Knicks - Boston Celtics (-8.5) - They lose 2 consecutive games, Celtics may want to get back on track of winning more than losing. As for their record, most of their home games are in big leads like 9+. I don't doubt they will win this one, I just wish the spread will be covered.

Charlotte Hornets vs Chicago Bulls - Chicago Bulls (-6.5) After the Bulls blew a 21-point lead against the Indiana Pacers, I bet they want this to end in a sure win by burying the Hornets in a big lead. When it comes to the offense they have more firepower than them, time to build a win streak and it starts here.

Brooklyn Nets vs Detroit Pistons - Brooklyn Nets (-6.5) Back-to-back game for the Nets and I wish Kyrie will be present. I know he doesn't like it but their team needs him. Also expecting this to be a high-scoring game. Over 230.5 as an addition.

Based on the pregame spread, that was -6.5. 76ers led as many as 16 points in that game, I thought the spread will be covered easy, but with the unpredictability of the game, things like this could happen, and it's very costly because it's only one game that will destroy your winning parlay bet.

Sorry to hear that mate, they are really in control of the game and taking double digits lead, but the Nets won't simply go away. Ben Simmons hit some of those shots, his right hook and instrumental in the comeback.

If I'm not mistaken, the spread is like -6.5 right?

I lost my bet because I took Sacramento, but they are really off in this game at their homecourt. As if they don't want to take this win because there are a lot of turnovers. There are stretch wherein Sabonis will have like 3 TO in succession. Very bad game for them at home.

I almost hit my 6 teams parlay last night, I just lost on the 76ers game because I took the spread. They could have covered that already as they were leading with a decent margin, but I'm just unfortunate that they allow the Nets to come back a bit, just enough to cover the handicap.

Yeah, that 1 point gives me the win too like @Baofeng. Crazy. The Pacers were fighting back and I thought it will not cover the spread. Luckily more free throws came before the end of regulation as they are trying to catch up.
Philadelphia 76ers also just covered the right spread that I took, @1.63 it's not that profitable but it is still a win. I didn't get greedy as I know the Nets could still be scary even without KD. Ben Simmons boo'ed from start to end at his ex-home. It's a fun entertaining close game with lots of drama.

3/6 for me today. It's not perfect but it's a good start after the bad perfect loss yesterday.

Games today are really unpredictable, better be careful with your bets.
The favorites at their home.
Golden State Warriors didn't cover.
Sacramento Kings lost.
New Orleans Pelicans lost. - Brandon Ingram is back but not that helpful yet.

Well, I am trusting the Golden State Warriors more than having some confidence in the Memphis Grizzlies, and right now if Jonathan Kuminga and James Wiseman can play for the Warriors It would be a go for me besides I am not really trusting the Grizzlies right now,

And for now, because I have trusted that they will win they surely win even though the Grizzlies are aiming for a win aswell, and the game was a close one,

Here are the results for my picks for this game today,

Philadelphia 76ers VS Brooklyn Nets SCORE 137 - 133 - WIN

it was a clear close game even though Kevin Durant wasn't on the Nets the Brooklyn Nets still did great and came close to the 76ers, James Harden got 23 points, Joel Embiid got a double-double of 10 rebounds, and 26 points, while Tyrese Maxey got 27 points winning the game against the Brooklyn Nets, 

New Orleans Pelicans VS Minnesota Timberwolves SCORE 102 - 113 - LOST

The New Orleans Pelicans came got a great game start but in the 3rd quarter the Minnesota Timberwolves turned the tables around and won against the Pelicans, Rudy Gobert got a double-double of 12 rebounds and 17 points, and D'Angelo Russell got 19 points while Anthony Edwards has 37 points, so losing a bet if the Pelican's win,

Golden State Warriors VS Memphis Grizzlies SCORE 122 - 120 - WIN

Now because I don't trust the Memphis Grizzlies and whenever the Golden State Warriors will be playing I will surely be on the Warrior's side for sure, but it was a close game but still, the Warriors still win the game, and the Warriors have flipped the table and got the lead Jordan Poole got 21 points Klay Thompson, got 24 points and Stephen Curry got 34 points winning against a Dynasty,

Sacramento Kings VS Toronto Raptors SCORE 95 - 113 - LOST

From start to finish the Toronto Raptors really got a great lead and finishes the Sacramento Kings dominating the game Fred VanVleet got 17 points, Precious Achiuwa got 19 points and Pascal Siakam have a double-double of 11 rebound and 26 points,

You almost lost in the Pacers-Magic because the Magic only won by 6 points. Anyway, the young Magic team played very well on their home with all of their starters in double digits. On the other hand, Pacers are playing without their main point guard in Haliburton. Buddy Hield is a very underrated player but he's good at threes as well. Tonight, he shot 6/10 from threes which is a very good one already.

Embiid played, got a double-double and the victory on their home.

I thought that the Nets will steal one on the road even though Durant isn't playing, but they lost by only 4 points. The good thing about the Nets is that, they have players that can step up offensively with the absence of Durant. 5 players in double digits with 3 off the bench and Curry is their leading scorer with 32 and 7/10 on threes. Comparing to how the Nets last season and this season without Durant, I guess they are better now with their current roster.

Grizzlies Vs. Warriors. I already put my bet on the Warriors with this one .

This is my pick for tonight's game.

Magic vs Pacers - Orlando Magic has the homecourt advantage and so I'm going with the handicap  -5.5 @1.90
Nets vs Sixers - Joel is missing that there are a lot of players that can cover for him, we have Harden and Harris, -5.5 @2.00
Rockets vs Wizards - over 232.5 @1.94, just wanted to bet on this over, just for a change hehehe.

I have bet this early, so the odds might be lower/higher now at Stake.

I am waiting for that Philadelphia 76ers game vs Brooklyn Nets for an update about Joel Embiid's status and whether he will play or not. He is still in questionable status and as for props, I don't see his name yet so there's a chance this will be a match game without Durant for the Nets and Embiid for the 76ers.
The odds though have the 76ers as favorites, I think it's because of home advantage and their firepower with Harden, Maxey, and Harris around.
I cannot decide yet on this one, Steven Adams is out due to injury but they have Jaren Jackson Jr. and Brandon Clarke as rim protectors.
The Warriors' high winning chance at home might be their basis to put them as favorites for this. I would've liked it if our bookies made it look like a close fight with tight odds. Anyway, I think I will take -4.5 for the Warriors @2.05 later on.

I also agree and I would like to add Sixers to win again the Nets, KD-less Nets might have some difficulty beating the Sixers, I like that two bets that you are tailing, Pelicans almost win the game earlier then Kings is showing good stats.

They are all have some good edge against their respective opponents, but alway going to depend
from how the game will be played tomorrow and how the teams will win the game.

These are my picks for tomorrow's game,

Philadelphia 76ers VS Brooklyn Nets

The stake odds for this game are 1.50 for the 76ers and 2.70 for the Nets, right now Furkan Korkmaz, can not play for the 76ers, and Joel Embiid is questionable if he can play for the 76ers while Kevin Durant can not play for the Nets, for this game I think 76ers can make a win if Joel Embiid can play, but if he not this is going to be good for the Nets, but I will go with the Philadelphia 76ers,

New Orleans Pelicans VS Minnesota Timberwolves

The stake odds for this game are 1.72 for the Pelicans and 2.19 for the Timberwolves, right now E.J. Liddell, and Zion Williamson can not play for the Pelicans, and Brandon Ingram, Naji Marshall, and Dyson Daniels are questionable if they can play for the Pelicans, while Jordan McLaughlin, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Taurean Prince can not play for the Timberwolves, and Rudy Gobert is questionable if he can play for the Timberwolves, for this game for me I think that the Pelicans still have CJ McCollum, that still has a good team that smoke their opponent, so my pick are the Pelicans,

Golden State Warriors VS Memphis Grizzlies

The stake odds for this game are 1.63 for the Warriors and 2.35 for the Grizzlies, right now Andre Iguodala can not play for the Warriors and James Wiseman is questionable if he can play, well right now,  as you all can see I am a big fan of the Warriors but this is an interesting match, but my pick at the Golden State Warriors,

Sacramento Kings VS Toronto Raptors

The stake odds for this game are 1.63 for the Kings and 2.34 for the Raptors, right now Chimezie Metu can not play for the Kings while Delano Banton, and OG Anunoby
is questionable if they can play right now I want to go with the Kings so my pick is the Sacramento Kings,

I like this bet, I will be tailing you with your 2nd and 3rd bet mate because I also believe that the Pelicans will bounce back after the loss they got from Denver and that they can work their way to defeat the Wolves this time. The same goes for the Kings, I mean it's somehow obvious enough why we're siding with them and not the Raptors. Good luck!

No doubt, I know that the Grizzlies are having some improvements this season but looking at their performance and stats, the same situation will likely happen to them once they get lucky to join the playoffs later on. They may be winning some of the games and might evade the chance of getting eliminated in the 1st round but once the games are starting to get intense, they will washed out, eventually.

We almost have the same bet except for the New York Knicks. The other two were rekt with the Pacers winning the game and Dallas Mavericks losing by a point. It broke my confidence really hard with the results yesterday.
Anyway, not giving up. Will try to take it back today.

Orlando Magic vs Indiana Pacers - Orlando Magic (-5.5) Back-to-back game for the Pacers and it's a home game for the Magic, I hope they can work their magic tonight. No pun intended.  Without Haliburton, I am still doubting their win although they did well against the Chicago Bulls yesterday.

New Orleans Pelicans vs Minnesota Timberwolves - New Orleans Pelicans (-3.5) After a bad 1-point defeat against a strong Denver Nuggets it made me realize they can still be a strong team despite their stars injured. Will try my luck at trusting them to win and cover the spread.

Sacramento Kings vs Toronto Raptors - Sacramento Kings (-3.5) Kings all the way, light the beam!

Good luck everyone.

Yeah, even Lebron James, they don't show any respect for him when they match against the Lakers. So we are not really sure why the Memphis suddenly become this kind of team. I guess they really think that they are good and just running teams.

But now they got their straight losses in the road, so that didn't look look for their image now, lol. They are still in the second spot though behind the Denver Nuggets team. And now they are going to face the Warriors next at Chase center, that is going to be huge.

That's why they will never win a championship because they are very disrespectful, they think they are the best team but their stats say their real standing. I'm also thinking that they will never win a WCF case they'll be lucky to be in that stage because most likely the Warriors or the Nuggets will slay them.

They are playing on the road if I'm not mistaken that's why they had problems facing those home court teams. Yes, it has backfired on them bigtime now, with how they act, even Shannon Sharpe is at it as well. They can't take what Grizzlies is saying, dynasties etc when they haven't win a ring yet.

And then the big mouth leader of them, yeah, high lights dunks and stuff, but unless you are not winning a ring, you need to be respectful.

I only took one bet and it was a lost, not sure what happen to Chicago as everyone who bet on them have bee scratching their heads as regards to the outcome.

A 3 game losing streak after an 11 game winning streak.
I don't expect the Grizzlies to play like this in their future games.

What I don't like with them is that, they are acting like they achieve something already like @jakelyson said. TBH, they're the same as the Suns who are acting tough in the league and yet, they can't even win a title. The Grizzlies even trash talked the Warriors last season and look where they ended up. Even that Brooks is acting tough and trash talking on different players, but he achieved nothing as of this moment.

On their game against Sacramento, Morant didn't play and his impact on the team is too much that you can feel it once he isn't playing. Their next game will be against the Warriors on the road. The Warriors are 17-6 on their home against the Grizzlies who is 11-13 on the road. I'm having a feeling that they might lose again. :X

If they continued on like this I think there will be many fans that will be disappointed with their performance, Ja "Almost" Morant doesn't have great stats right now and has been missing some of the crucial games they need and with the recent Sacramento Kings game I think they truly busted their winning percentage and right now when bettors seeing the Memphis Grizzlies names they are already sure that it will be another losing streak for the Memphis Grizzlies,


You are not alone last week I was pretty much burned out aswell, and the money that I am circulating with my bets decreased yet again, I am not grinding anything because I am aware that gambled money can surely point out to a loss and there is no real gain with it, Luck and chances will always matter, even though but there is quite a game that sometimes easy to predict and the good thing about this is we get to pick up our team on who's going to win,
