A good Friday night lineup and liking a bunch of games here. Here is what I have so far:

Pacers -2 at home vs Portland.
Nuggets -5.5 (how can't you bet on them all the time!)
Spurs -1 against Detroit. They played NY tough I expect that to end with a win here at home.
And last Bucks-10 at home vs Charlotte. Ginnis to get a solid 45 pts to run Charlotte off the court.

For once I was really happy with the result, and here are my pick on yesterday's game

Orlando Magic VS Memphis Grizzlies SCORE 115 -123 - WIN

It seems that the Grizzlies have taken the lead in the 1st half of the game then the Magic tried to make the game a close one, but it was not really successful, Dillion "Dynasty" Brooks got 11 points, Tyus Jones had 12, Jaren Jackson Jr. has a double-double of 10 rebounds and 31 points while Ja Morant's has 32 points to win the game,

Dallas Mavericks VS Boston Celtics SCORE 95 - 124 - WIN

From start to finish the Celtics have the upper hand and they even stop Luka Doncic with just 23 points, Both Marcus Smarts and Malcolm Brogdon both got 15 points, and Jaylen Brown had 19 points, while Jayson Tatum got a Triple-double of 14 rebounds, and 10 assist and 29 points to win the game,

Houston Rockets VS Utah Jazz SCORE 114 - 131 - WIN

We can say that it was a one-sided game for these two, from start to finish the Utah Jazz had the lead Both Jordan Clarkson and Malik Beasley got 19 points, while Lauri Markkanen has 49 points for their 1st win after 5 consecutive losses,

Denver Nuggets VS Los Angeles Clippers SCORE 122 - 91 - WIN

Like the Rockets VS Jazz game this is another 1 sided game aswell, the Nuggets got a great spread, all have surely worked as a team and they have worked as a team and it was great to watch,

I like your guys’ pick of the Memphis Grizzlies, but am a little curious why the odds aren’t longer. I may have to look at the injury report. I also like the Denver Nuggets over the Clippers, which I think will have a better payoff. Hopefully with Paul George out (I think) they’ll have limited minutes for Kawhi and Wall to give the Nuggets an easy ride to the win.

Every team that won in NBA today did so with quite some ease, I didn't expect Denver Nuggets to blow the Clippers out that early into the game, while Kawhi Leonard and Paul George both in the starting lineup but the Denver still were able to restrict the Clippers to 32 points in the first, while putting up 66 points themselves, the major damage was done from behind the arc where Denver Nuggets were very effective in that half, so the game was pretty much a done deal from the first half, Kawhi and PG didn't even need to play in the second half.

That happened due to a lack of defense, I thought that the Clippers will play better and they could upset the home team because Leonard will be available. It's just unfortunate we are not seeing a very entertaining game.

The Clippers are awful, they only shoot 14% from beyond the arc compared to the 39% of the Nuggets.

I thought this team will not give up, but maybe they already believe that they cannot come back anymore that's why they didn't try in the 2nd half.

They don't even got to own even just a single quarter, the Nuggets were pretty clever these days while the Clippers is not that consistent anymore to win some back to back games. PG and Leonard can handle one game at a time, and not a successive games where they will dominate.

As said, the duo already gave up in the 2nd quarter which gave the Nuggets a good time to advance and let Jokic rest because they have another big game again later against the Cavaliers. I'm going to catch this game live, not yet sure who to lean on this time.

As of now, here's mine:

Chicago Bulls ML vs Philadelphia 76ers
Brooklyn Nets -4 vs New Orleans Pelicans

The clippers and Nuggets are supposed to be a great match up, everyone is playing, and their star players are present so it should be a close game, unfortunately, it does not turn out that way, it's like a no-bearing game, and the home team just enjoys dominating the visiting team.

Maybe this clippers team will bounce back next time, just like the Celtics when they had a blowout loss against the OKC.

Yes, they can. Their problem was nothing was sinking down, PG13 shots were not there, Kawhi Leonard too, and even Luke Kennard who was known as an elite shooter cannot sink it. Like someone put a lid on the rim. Clippers were also known for their defense but it cannot be seen.
They will bounce back that's for sure with John Wall to help them.

11 games for tomorrow brothers. Share your early picks.

Philadelphia 76ers vs Chicago Bulls - 76ers -5.5 They are on their 3rd winning streak, might want to continue that in their home.
New Orleans Pelicans - Brooklyn Nets - Nets -4.5 Answers for the offense will be a problem for the Pelicans, even if this is their home it will not be easy to defeat the Nets.
Denver Nuggets - Cleveland Cavaliers - Nuggets -5.5 Jokic had a good rest so even if they are playing back-to-back he will come in fresh. This will be one of the games that I don't want to miss.

They will for sure, next game they will be up against the Wolves who had won their previous game against the Blazers. They will play a back-to-back game and are now an underdog with +3.5, so I guess it will be a good steal if we will bet on the moneyline.

This bet will probably go through because even if you gave a -5 handicap to the home team, they will still win the game and that's almost guaranteed because they are now leading the game with a 30+ points. Quite surprised by the game actually because I was expecting the opposite thing where the Celtics leads the game and not the other way around.

It was definitely unexpected to see them take down a team sitting at the top of the standings by a huge margin. At the start, I was just hoping they get a good early lead and use that lead to keep it close.

Funny thing is that if they have managed to defeat a much heavy and stronger team like the Boston Celtics then I bet they won't be having a hard time against the Orlando Magic earlier where they have SGA on their line-up but that wasn't the case as it turns out that the Thunder lost. I may have no evidence but it's somewhat clear that the Celtics-Thunder match-up was cooked. Any thoughts about that game?

Probably, but most of the time it doesn't work that way though, just look at the Warriors, they have a good record at home, even defeated top teams like the Grizzlies, but then Klay went cold and lost to the Detroit Pistons.

For tomorrow's game, I going to tail you guys with the Memphis against Magic, -6.5 @1.84 now.

Dallas 3.5 @1.86 against the Boston Celtics. Probably the Jazz will win and break their losing streak against the Houston, so -6.5 @1.93.

All single bets, I'm not going for a parlay. Best of luck.

2 out 3 for me, and as I have said, it's good that I didn't parlay as my Dallas bet will simply be destroyed because on how the Celtics played in the first 2 quarters. They made a lot of 3's and then the Mavs can't seem to find their rhythm and missing shots and probably this is due to the great defense by the Celtics.

So not that bad, still have money to continue with my betting, just glance on the match tomorrow night.

But I might have to analyze it more prior to the game. And congrats again to those who have a good win.

Yes Bro, but it turns out I lose all my bets, should have bet on the opposite and parlayed it, I should have good money in my wallet. haha.. Anyway, my journey is still long, I'll just book that as part of my losing streak which soon will be broken.

That's why I really admired your courage there.
The two TNT-covered games today are both blowout games, I thought I am going to be entertained by a close game match and record-breaking stats. I guess I expected too much, it ended up a bit boring especially the Nuggets vs Clippers game. More minutes were given to the bench team.

I will tail that Dallas Mavericks ML of yours.
Player prop for Luka suddenly grew, 53.5 PRA for x2.05 profits. Him skyrocketing his stats hurts gamblers like me who puts a bet on him.

Denver Nuggets - Los Angeles Clippers - Nuggets -4.5 @1.85.
Orlando Magic - Memphis Grizzlies - Grizzlies -5.5 @1.86.
Good luck.

Bad luck for the Dallas Mavericks bet, Tatum was high and shooting everywhere and they don't have a weapon to stop the bleeding. Once the lead soared too high, Coach Kidd didn't let Doncic back which means my props won't hit too.

The other two were a win. I am glad I didn't get greedy on that Grizzlies bet. Orlando Magic made a big return to cut the lead into a single digit. That scared me somehow. Grin

Most games last night were boring unless you have perfect wins on the 4 games. LOL.
The only game that I like was the Jazz vs Rockets, I'm entertained watching the fight because finally, the Jazz had stopped their losing streak.

Again, the most consistent guy in the roster is Lauri, he dropped 49 points, which is more than enough to beat the home team.

Are we getting trap with the Lakes taking a lead against the Heat, without Lebron, AD?

I'm taking the Heat -5.5 at 2.20 live betting. Still in the 2nd half and although the Lakers are leading at their homecourt, they might tire (they usually does), and it's time for Miami to take the two full quarters.

Nets though lost even if Durant has a big 44 points, thus ending their winning streak.

Excellent observation!
I confess that I am extremely surprised with this Lakers vs Heat game.

Never would I have imagined that the Lakers could be a competitive team without LeBron James and AD, and that's what's happening with this game.
Lakers are playing well and so far he's beating the Heat.
Let's see if can continue with this performance and possibly win this game.

Guys, what are your picks for this round? Could we have some surprises? Or not?

Wrong bet for me though, I thought that the Heat is going to take over because they have been hitting 3's on that stretch when I put my bet on the 3rd quarter.

Live betting, Dallas for me @2.10, the game has started already, let's wait for Luka to explode.

I think he will take this challenge against the best team in the East right now.

I confess that I imagined that Luka would be on fire in this game, but that didn't happen, the Celtics stood out and got this victory.
7 perfect shots of 32 attempted at the 3 point line, this was a bad performance of Mavericks

Is anyone also watching the Nuggets vs Clippers game?
So far, the Nuggets are leading this game, nearly 40 points, and we're in the final 6 minutes of the last quarter.
Could this difference increase or decrease?

For some reason I was feeling good about the Chicago Bulls and how they've been playing of late (still losing games but playing better overall, as well as winning more games than they are losing) and put down a few satoshis on the Bulls vs Nets. The Bulls were being given +4.5 points. The Bulls ended up beating the Nets by 9 points. This was a pretty darn big win for the Bulls being that they're starting to get back on track and play better as well as taking down two of the leagues very best in Kyrie and Durant. They play the 76rs next, not sure I have big enough balls to put money down on them for that game.

the odds keep on shifting to the side of the Grizzlies but I prefer the Magic to cover the spread as they still have a solid ATS record.

Both teams with limited rest and even though Grizzlies had a blowout win in their last game I still think they'll have a hard time in Orlando after the upset that happened from their last meeting.

Honestly this is one of those games that I'm more apt to pick the magic as well. Again I think Grizzlies come in lax and any team at home getting almost double digits isn't all that bad. As long as orlando can keep it close they can cover with a backdoor win at the end of the game getting garbage points. I'm in on orlando
