Thinking the same when I made my bet against them and favor the Pelicans to win their match. I was wrong and that hurt my mulit bet. It was just a bad night for McCollum coupled with Zion not playing which brings the win to the Magic. But if given the chance, I think Magic will rather take an L. You are right, I will be against the Magic against any team unless it is a Spurs team, which is also tanking purposely.

Like me, several people were convinced that the Jazz would win the game, as Utah had a good record, the game was going to be at home and especially the Nets were without Durant.
But, Kyrie Irving guided the Nets to victory with an outstanding performance!

I missed the Raptors vs Celtics bet, because the game has started and I'm thinking of betting on the underdog Raptors, but since they have taken the lead already, the odds have chance and now they are the favorite.

Hawks vs Hornets - I'm going with the Hornets on this one, ML @3.55 and 5.5 @2.23

Cavs vs Bucks - I'll go with the Cavs at home -2.5 @1.88

Wolves vs Rockets - Wolves -8.5 @1.94

I guess majority here didn't see Irving will have a good game against the Jazz, we have been waiting for him to explode in the absence of Durant, but so far none of that happen until last night, so we are all wrong.

What can you say about Tatum not playing today against the Raptors?

Will this be a trap? Although Celtics is still the favorite in this game.

Not surprised about their current standing because I already expected that the Nets will somehow struggle without Durant as he is much different when he is on the team compared to Kyrie, I mean, it is already proven that Kyrie cannot carry the team as much as Durant does because their role is different, also, Kyrie isn't that impressive compared to when he was still at the Cavs where he can still provide good points in every game but now it is already different.

We will not see that from Kyrie in every game, so I guess I will still bet against that team in the succeeding games. Without the help of his teammates, Nets will probably continue to struggle and they will fall from the ranking.

From number 2, this team is already in number 4 now, and they are 5-5 in their last 10 games.

Indeed mate, I even bet in favor of the Utah Jazz because somehow I know they are much more consistent and will take advantage of the Brooklyn Nets while they are still undermanned. Unfortunately, Kyrie gave an unexpected performance and just like you've said, he practically carried the team towards a W.

This is the result of my predictions yesterday

I almost won 

New Orleans Pelicans Vs Orlando Magics - LOST

Miami Heat vs Dallas Mavericks - WIN

Los Angeles Clippers vs San Antonio Spurs -WIN

Indiana Pacers vs Denver Nuggets -WIN

Memphis Grizzlies vs Los Angeles Lakers - WIN

What a crazy game between Boston and Golden State, Jason Tatum and Stephen Curry have a hot hand in this game especially when curry made a still and make a half court buzzer beater shot. I remembered the shout caster said "A curry moment in Boston". On the 2nd Half, The Golden states got their momentum where the favor of the game goes to them but when the 4th quarter came; this is where the real match starts. I thought that Curry will have buzzer beater again against AL Horford but his shot missed that is the reason why they go in the Overtime. At the 1st minute of Overtime, the GSW quickly scores but they have a lot of turnovers that became the opportunity of the Celtics to score and win the game.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to bet on the ML (what will I thinking?), I have done that kind of betting specially for underdogs, like when OKC was slaying top teams, too bad.

And so with Nets desperate for a win, Kyrie suddenly went beast mode, hehehe, we are all wrong so I guess majority lost here.

For the Clippers, they won, but my handicap bet was not covered, so just 1/3 for me.

New Orleans Pelicans was at a good stance in the first half, the 3rd quarter was just a tie for both teams but the 4th quarter was the game changer of all when Orlando Magic dominated. It's not Banchero, it's Franz Wagner this time who got hot and claimed the win for the Magic at their homecourt.
Yeah, a big one for the Denver Nuggets, and they continued their winning streak, that's their 9th now and their 15th at home.
You are lucky you missed the Jazz bet, I was not  , it was a close game until the Nets made their distance in the last minutes of the game.

2/4 for all my early bets.
Who else got lucky here on betting early for the Warriors without knowing the 4 stars are out?  I know @Natalim did as I tailed his bet.
Congratulations to all of you. That's a good amount at ML. 

Jazz has been outperformed by the Nets, it's an overall performances lead by Kyrie. I also didn't expect that since Jazz is really hot playing at home and with the past performances of Nets.

Kyrie got awaken by the negative social media attacks I guess and now he's doing his stuff
and playing against the public, he surprised those bettors who bet against them. Congrats
to those who bet for them.

Look, unfortunately (or fortunately lol) I didn't place any bets on this round.

Well, unforeseen things happen, and in fact that's what happened with the Jazz vs Nets game.
I confess I wasn't expecting this result... But Kyrie Irving was on fire, and practically carried the Nets to victory!

Talking about Nuggets x Pacers game, it happened as expected, an expressive victory for Denver. I would also like to share the excellent performance that the Nuggets had in the 3 point shoot (50% accuracy), it was a very good performance!

Well I don't think underestimating the Orlando Magic is the right choice and even though CJ McCollum was on the Pelicans, and even though the Orlando Magic is not really a decent team right now without Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram the Pelicans are not really complete, so for me, the Magic having Paolo Banchero, Bol Bol, Franz Wagner Wendell Carter Jr. Markelle Fultz, and Cole Anthony I really think they only lack chemistry within the team and these names will surely rise in the future of NBA,

---

So here are the results of my picks for today's game it was just decent and I really thought that the Jazz would surely win and I was really surprised about the Lakers VS the Grizzlies, I should have wished that I didn't underestimate the Lakers as I have did with the Orlando Magic,

Orlando Magic VS New Orleans Pelicans SCORE 123 - 110 - WIN

Just as I thought CJ McCollum is not really enough to win and sometimes the Orlando Magic can also do surprising things like this but if Zion or Brandon would return for the Pelicans then that is a different story, but still, because the Magic are a sure decent team that lacking chemistry in my opinion but surely they have surprise anybody in this game, for winning against the Pelicans, but still Williamson and Ingram is not on the team so it could be luck,

Utah Jazz VS Brooklyn Nets SCORE 106 - 117 - LOST

I really think that Jordan Clarkson did a fine job but still, the others aren't really progressing much because Kyrie Irving has played for the Nets it is a different story for having a double-double of 11 rebounds and 48 insane points he surely carries the game on his back,

Sacramento Kings VS Oklahoma City Thunder SCORE 118 - 113 - WIN

I'd say it was a close game and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander played a key role in this game but still, the Kings have taken the Victory, with Domantas Sabonis getting the Triple-double of 13 rebounds, 14 assists, and 18 points, De'Aaron Fox had 25 points and Keegan Murray got a double-double of 14 rebounds and 29 points winning the game,

Los Angeles Lakers VS Memphis Grizzlies SCORE 122 - 121 - LOST

This is truly a surprising game and an Insane game to watch and I really enjoyed it I really wish I haven't underestimated the Lakers that much, but the most exciting part was the 4th quarter there are many free throws and fouls that have been called, and if it wasn't for Dennis Schroder the hero that has steals the ball on the blind side of Desmond Bane it was an insane game Dennis Schroder got 19 points, Lebron James got 23 points, And Russell WestBrick have gotten 29 points winning the game against the Grizzlies,


 

Looks like I was wrong. The Magic came through with a rare victory. Yet another example of how there’s never a safe bet. McCollum had a bad shooting night and the Magic shot great. That was enough to make the difference. A great bet if you can predict it. I’d still bet against the Magic versus anybody else in the NBA though. They’re obviously tanking.

Nice catch with the Warriors +8.5, I hope you had a bit on the absolute value of the Warriors ML too ? They were able to  win the game with all explosiveness of Jordan Poole.

Orlando Magic with a little surprise of their own too, the starters weren't doing too well and looks like it was going to be a W for the Pelicans until the Orlando Magic had their 2nd unit on the floor, and they took over completely and the coach just had to let the 2nd unit complete the job, Paolo Banchero the No 1 overall draft pick didn't even come on to the court for the entire 4th Quarter, what a show!

You are not wrong, especially yesterday. 
I am with the Jazz and the Nuggets here, not just because of homecourt advantage but Nuggets had been on a great streak and I don't think it's the Indiana Pacers who can stop it. Just waiting if they can cover the spread but upon watching it looks like they will.

Utah Jazz on the other hand seems to have a difficult time putting a distance against the Brooklyn Nets. Kyrie is doing all the dirty work.
This could've been good bro if only they won the game. That was unexpected from the Warriors without their 4 stars playing. It rained three from their bench players. Even Kuminga and Patrick Baldwin had their share of three-point field goals.
23/43 made threes. Above 50 percent which is totally amazing without Curry and Klay. Good ball rotation means a good offense, a nice game there from the Warriors bench.

My picks for tonight.

San Antonio Spurs vs Los Angeles Clippers (-1.5) = First Quarter Win 1,79 Odds.

San Antonio Spurs vs Los Angeles Clippers (-5.5)  = Los Angeles Clippers Win 1,71 Odds.

Los Angeles Lakers vs Memphis Grizzlies (-4.5) = Memphis Grizzlies Win 1,72 Odds.

Good luck guys.

∆ Cavs ML / C. LeVert 20+ PRA / D. Garland 2+ 3pt @1.70 ∆  X

Cavs ML is added solely to increase the overall odds. Coming into this game, Golden State has one of the league's worst away records, and they will face Cleveland, which has one of the league's best home records. Warriors' entire starting lineup is also being rested tonight: Curry, Klay, Green, and Wiggins are all ruled out.

LeVert finished his last game as a starter with 23/6/4 in 40 minutes and the most shots for his team, and whether the game tonight is a blowout or not, he should see at least 30 minutes of action. I have no doubt he will cover the 20+ PRA line, as the Warriors rank near the bottom against opposing SGs in some key categories.

Garland is averaging 2.4 3s per game /L7 on 40% shooting and has made 10 3s /L2, will face the GSW defense, which allows the second most 3s to opposing PGs playing on back-to-back with their second unit...looks like the perfect matchup for him.

Let's see if we can get 5 in a row...

It has been reported that Paul George will play in this game, so I will go with the Clippers on this one, to finally end their losing skid -6.5 @1.88

Cavs vs Warriors - GSW have had issues on the road, and as I see, 8.5 @2.28 is not that bad bet so I'll take that risk.

Jazz vs Nets - Jazz at home, -5.5 @1.96. Nets out of shape, Kyrie can't bring the team and carry it to his shoulder.

That's the game that I will go and bet pre-game. Best of luck.
