Everyone was expecting Giannis to play, but he didn't play last night. That's why they lost the game and everyone's bet lost.
If I had known, I wouldn't have played.
Only my Memphis bet won.

You are 1-1, and you are lucky that Giannis didn't play, things were so easy for the road team to beat the home team, and that's with a huge margin. Of course, Wizards does not have Beal as well  but the big 3 of the Bucks are out, so they lose.

Sorry for both of us, we lost that bet. The Nuggets won, 123-111. They never got close. The Nuggets were able to shut down the three-point shots of the Celtics.

That bet broke my parlay, but I enjoyed watching it anyway. The alley-oops from Jokic to Gordon is exciting to watch.


3 of the best players of the Bucks are out of that game. The Wizards are basically playing against the role players of the Bucks. The Bucks don't stand a chance against them. Giannis now is on a day-to-day basis, and we may not see him play for a few more days. They will play against the wizards again in a few days. Let's see if Giannis will be back and if the Bucks can bounce back.

Meanwhile, what I got is the opposite bet because I rooted for the Wizards than betting on Bucks as I already know that the Bucks guards can't make it to the game which will give an advantage to the Wizards, what I didn't expect is that Giannis not able to play, head coach didn't listed Giannis as questionable either.

On the other hand, I favored the Kings to win the game against the Grizzlies because Bane won't be with Ja Morant in the game. In an unexpected event, Kings roster wasn't that impressive today in their game against the Grizzlies which got my bets lost.

I really think the Bucks have given this game to the Washington Wizards without Giannis Antetokounmpo the Milwaukee Bucks don't stand a chance against the Wizards, I think they have let Giannis Antetokounmpo rest this one and are still number 3 in the east and there are a lot of crucial games they can play I think they are just using that opportunity and playing it wisely in using this time to let Giannis Antetokounmpo rest for his Knee to recuperate and not sustain much damage,

Now the result of my pick

Denver Nuggets VS Boston Celtics SCORE 123 - 111 - LOST

Now I was curious about what happened but the tandem of Jay Tatum and Brown had surely done great but it wasn't really enough because they only have 1 backup and that is Derrick White and pretty much the Nugget's defense was so much for them, and the Denver Nuggets have an interesting score, Aaron Gordon got 18 points, Michael Porter Jr. got 19 points, Bruce Brown Jr. got 21 points and The Joker Nikola Jocic has a triple-double for this game of 12 rebounds 12 assists and 30 points ruining the play of the Celtics,

Milwaukee Bucks VS Washington Wizards SCORE 95 - 118 - LOST

Because Giannis Antetokounmpo didn't play in this game it was a one-sided game from start to finish the fans of the Bucks were surely not happy with what they are seeing, but this game is an opportunity for Giannis Antetokounmpo to have some rest in a while as he can come back and play again when a crucial game arises, and surely the Wizard had some good spread for this game, Deni Avdija got a double-double of 12 rebounds and 11 points, Kyle Kuzma got a triple-double of 13 rebounds 11 assist and 10 points, Corey Kispert has 12, Daniel Gafford has 17, Kristaps Porzingis has 22, and Rui Hachimura has 26 points winning the game,

Memphis Grizzlies VS Sacramento Kings SCORE 118 - 108 - WIN

As I have said the Memphis Grizzlies need to get back up their flag from the Humiliation they got from the previous losses they attain, surely the Grizzlies have stopped the Kings in the 3rd quarter and had an incredible spread, Steven Adams got a double-double of 23 rebounds and 11 points, Dillon Dynasty Brooks got 15, Tyus Jones has 18, and Ja Almost Morant got 35 points winning the game,

I tailed both of your bets, but I wasn't expecting Giannis not to play the game, I really wouldn't have considered Milwaukee Bucks as the favorites, let alone a -4.5 point favorite when they're playing this Washington Wizards team with both Giannis and Khris Middleton out injured, but there weren't many games to pick from to begin with so, there isn't much options I could have had.

Memphis Grizzlies getting me even for the night still makes it very fair imo, thanks.

I'm surprised as well why Giannis hasn't played the game today against the Wizards, sorry about that mate but seems your loss was favorable to my side because I rode with the visiting team which is the Wizards. I'm not that too sure about the bet I did because there's still Giannis, what made me bet on the latter was because I'm thinking that Giannis will end up carrying the whole team because Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton won't be around.
Maybe Mike Budenholzer chose to let Giannis rest even though he's not on any injury because the team's lost is almost inevitable.

That's $20 down the drain. Last time I checked before locking the bet the guy hasn't reported any knee soreness. Right now the Wizards are pummelling Bucks and the latter can't seem to find any openings to take back the 20-point deficit. That's a rough loss because almost everyone thought the Greek Freak would be playing. Hachimura and Porzingis are just shooting from downtown freely, while Kuzma is just taking the rebounds necessary to convert to points. If only they could get out the information earlier...

As for my other bet, Celtics can still catch up and convert it to a win. Jokic has been putting a lot of work to bury the lead even further, with Porter and Hyland on the assist both with 17 points as of this writing. Tatum and Brown has been missing a lot of threes tonight that it didn't feel like they're on their form. Anyway, the game is stopped for some reason and hopefully they get the rest they needed and come back to win the game (Celtics).

^Yeah sorry guys. @morvillz7z was right. Giannis will not play and they reported it late.
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/35361296/giannis-antetokounmpo-vs-wizards-knee-soreness
Sad, we might as well just forget about that bet. The Washington Wizards are in the big lead now @18 points halftime, it will be a miracle if they can get a big run without their big 3. Kristaps and Kuzma will surely dominate the game.
The Over 225.5 though might hit which I took early and is now sitting at 230.5.

To those loading up on the Bucks beware, Giannis is not playing either...

Personally, i'm laying a bet with the Sac Kings, as the game has the highest over/under at 240 of all three games tonight. It should be a high pace game with lots of possessions for each team.


∆ D. Sabonis 35+ PRA / D. Sabonis 5+ assists / D. Fox 25+ PRA @1.70  X

Sabonis has had 5 or more assists in 7/L7 and has covered the 35+ PRA line in 7/L7, with 17 total assists in the two previous meetings with Memphis this season.

Fox has been playing well of late, averaging 27/7/4 in L/7, it should be a fun matchup with Morant. Fox has covered 25+ PRA line in 7/L7, so i don't see why he can't do it again today.

Here is my bet for tonight:

Memphis Grizzlies vs Sacramento Kings

Sacramento Kings (19-15) will visit the Memphis Grizzlies (22-13) tonight at FedExForum. The Sacramento Kings are trying to extend their 2-game winning streak against the Memphis Grizzlies. They have won against the Utah Jazz last Friday. Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies are also trying to extend their winning streak. They are 6-4 in their last 10 games.

Key injuries for Kings: Malik Monk (wrist) questionable

Denver Nuggets vs Boston Celtics

The Boston Celtics (26-10) will visit the Denver Nuggets (23-12) at Ball Arena tonight. The Boston Celtics will try to extend their winning streak to 5 going into the game against the Denver Nuggets. The Nuggets, who are top of the Western Conference, are 8-2 in their last 10 games. They beat the Heat and covered the 4-point spread last Friday.

Nuggets key injuries: Bruce Brown (ankle) probable, Aaron Gordon (shoulder) probable, Jammal Murray (knee) questionable

Celtics would be a good pick. They are the ones on the road and their recent home performances were very poor compared to their away performances. Tatum and Brown have been putting in the work and effort to come out on top very recently, putting 29 points each for their match against Clippers with a close 116-110 win. On paper, the Celtics wins against Nuggets, but this is even furthered with the Celtics' on the road record compared to Nuggets' recent performances.


Bucks is the play. Antetokounmpo without Holiday and Middleton has been feeling a little confident, although the defense of the team is still rather shaky without these two guys on the court. Compared to the Wizards' record recently, Bucks look a little more solid and a little more composed. The Wizards started the season strong, but is slowly falling off without much answer as to why that is the case. It's hard to get heated early and lose steam as the season progresses.

I will tail you on the Bucks here, it will be in their homecourt, so there is a good chance that they can win and cover that spread against the struggling Washington Wizards. Although the key injuries for the Bucks are Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday I think they can manage to win with Giannis to be the anchor and probably him scoring 40 points here. That's the only game that I'm going to bet pre-game and most likely will look for a good odds live betting with the other two tonight.

Best of luck and happy new year everyone.

well, indeed it was a very interesting and competitive game!
PG scored more than 40 points and Turner was also the highlight for the Pacers, well, that's what I mentioned earlier, it was a competitive game, but the Pacers managed to stand out and won the game with a difference of 1 point.

I hope that in the future we will have more competitive games like this!

My picks for tonight.

Milwaukee Bucks (-4.5) vs Washington Wizards = Milwaukee Bucks Win 1.85 Odds.

Memphis Grizzlies (-4.5) vs Sakramento Kings = Memphis Grizzlies Win 1.92 Odds.

Good luck guys.

We have 3 games tomorrow and these are my picks for tomorrow's game,

Denver Nuggets VS Boston Celtics

The stake odds for this game are 2.09 for the Nuggets and 1.78, for the Celtics, right now Jeff Green, and Collin Gillespie can not play for the Nuggets, and Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon, and Bruce Brown are questionable if they can play for the Nuggets while Danilo Gallinari can not play for the Celtics, 1st that many injuries for the Nuggets are really crucial for them while the questionable players really need to push their limits so for this game I will go with the Boston Celtics,

Milwaukee Bucks VS Washington Wizards

The stake odds for this game are 1.37 for the Bucks and 3.20 for the Wizards, right now Khris Middleton, and Jrue Holiday can not play for the Bucks and George Hill is questionable if he can play for the Bucks while Bradley Beal and Taj Gibson are questionable if they can play for the Wizards for this game even though they don't have Khris Middleton they still manage to win so my pick are the Milwaukee Bucks,

Memphis Grizzlies VS Sacramento Kings

The stake odds for this game are 1.56 for the Grizzlies and 2.50 for the Kings, right now Danny Green can not play for the Grizzlies, and Santi Aldama and Ziaire Williams are questionable if they can play for the Grizzlies, while Malik Monk was questioned for the Kings, right now because of that tremendous lost against the Warriors and the Suns, they need to prove that they are the number 1 in the West, so they send a message when they win against the Pelicans and winning against the Raptors recently so I think they will win this game against the Kings after that humiliation,

I like that.
Desmond Bane seems to be getting back his rhythm, it's just a matter of time before he can be a full blast on being an offensive weapon for the Grizzlies again. This will be a tough fight though, Sacramento Kings had been great and won their last two games against strong teams like the Nuggets and Jazz.
I'll take my chances for the Grizzlies and tail that -4.5.

How about the Bucks? They lost 5 of their last games which is not looking good for a team that has an MVP-caliber Giannis. I am thinking this should be the time to be back on the winning track.
Bucks -6.5 for me. Good luck to everyone.

I would love to choose the Celtics here, they are the road team but I guess they play good defense that's why they have an impressive road record which is 11-5 win-loss. Murray isn't that consistent yet, their last game they even almost loss, good thing they were able to come back. If that was the Celtics they are playing with, no way they'll have that comeback win.

I also think 233 under is the right call, we should see some defensive game.

We have only 3 games tomorrow, all of the games are worth to bet because none of the teams are struggling so far.

Kings @ Grizzlies -4.5
Wizards @ Bucks -8.5
Celtics @ Nuggets +1.5

What do you think would be the right call here? I'm thinking of betting on the Grizzlies -4.5. They are on a back to back game but I'm pretty sure they will be able to handle the Kings.

It's just not good for me because I took the Bulls ML, that was close, should have won my bet if I don't gotten too emotional, I wanted a bigger return so I take the moneyline. Anyway, congrats @ralle14, nice catch their.
