∆ T. Herro 25+ PA / N. Jokic 15+ PTS @2.12 ∆  won


I thought about taking a punt on LeBron's totals (since it's his birthday today), but his comments following LAL's latest loss are concerning, so i had to look elsewhere.

Tyler Herro O/U 19.5 pts appears to be the most bet player prop on DK, so i'm sort of following. The Nuggets are bottom three in giving the most points and assists to opposing guards, as well as fantasy points. Herro has had a few very good games scoring over 30 points the last two weeks, 17 assists in the last two games, and he's cleared the line of 25+ PA in 6/L7. As for Jokic, he should be able to get those 15 points in his sleep. I believe he's only gone under 15 once in their L/20.

Orlando Magic - Washington Wizards

Orlando Magic comes to this game with 13 wins and 23 losses, and in the last 10 games they had 7 wins and only 3 losses, but things are not good for the Orlando Magic, which has two consecutive defeats against the Los Angeles Lakers and Detroit Pistons. meanwhile their opponent the Wizards comes to this game with 15 wins and 21 losses and in the last 10 games they had 6 losses and only 4 wins, something interesting about them is that in the last 5 games they had 4 wins and only 1 loss , that means that in terms of performance they are better than the Orlando Magic

Atlanta Hawks - Los Angeles Lakers

Atlanta Hawks comes for this game with 17 wins and 18 losses and in the last 10 games they lost in 6 games and only won in 4 games, they come from a series of 2 consecutive defeats, while their opponent the Los Angeles Lakers comes for this game with 14 wins and 21 losses and in the last 10 games they lost in 6 games including they lost in their last game

Toronto Raptors - Phoenix Suns

Toronto Raptors come into this game with 15 wins and 2 losses and in the last 5 games they have 3 losses and 2 wins, and in their last 2 games they lost against the Los Angeles Clippers and Memphis Grizzlies. meanwhile their opponent the Phoenix Suns comes to this game with 20 wins and 16 losses, and in the last 5 games they lost in 4 games and won in only 1 game, they are not well.

Chicago Bulls - Detroit Pistons

Bulls arrive for this game with 15 wins and 19 losses, and in the last 10 games they had 5 wins and 5 losses, in the last 5 games they had 4 wins and only 1 loss, that means that their performance recently is very good, so It's good that even in their last game they beat the Milwaukee Bucks. meanwhile their opponent the Detroit Pistons comes to this game with 9 wins and 28 losses and in the last 10 games they lost in 8 games and only won in 2 games, but they in their last game beat the Orlando Magic

My picks for tonight.

Milwaukee Bucks (-6.5) vs Minnesota Timberwolves = Milwaukee Bucks Win 1,83 Odds.

Milwaukee Bucks (-1.5) vs Minnesota Timberwolves = First Quarter Win 1,78 Odds.

Good luck guys.

Pretty much the game is starting in a couple of hours and so this is my picks for the games today,

Toronto Raptors VS Phoenix Suns

The stake odds for this game are 1.75 for the Raptors and 2.14 for the Suns, right now Otto Porter Jr. can not play for the Raptors, and Fred VanVleet and Precious Achiuwa are questionable if they can play but right now Injuries for the Sun is really getting serious because right now Devin Booker, Jae Crowder, Landry Shamet, Cameron Johnson and Cameron Payne can not play for the Sun, so for me, these guys and Booker are really crucial for the team, so I will go with the Raptors,

New Orleans Pelicans VS Philadelphia 76ers

The stake odds for this game are 1.97 for the Pelicans and 1.88 for the 76ers, right now E.J. Liddell, and Brandon Ingram, can not play for the Pelicans while Larry Nance Jr. and Herbert Jones are questionable if they can play, while Tyrese Maxey is questionable if he can play for the 76ers, and right now the Pelicans are in for a rough game or this could be a close game but I guess Zion Williamson will need to step up even more in this game, so my pick is the Pelicans,

Sacramento Kings VS Utah Jazz

The stake odds for this game are 1.67 for the Kings and 2.27 for the Jazz, right now Trey Lyles is questionable for the Kings, and While the Jazz doesn't have any injuries, I really don't trust the Jazz if they can make a good win over the Kings, but this is the 1st time these two teams have clash this season, but I really like the Jazz but having doubts if they can win against the Kings, but my pick still goes for the Jazz the underdog for this odds,

Golden State Warriors VS Portland Trail Blazers

The stake odds for this game are 2.00 for the Warriors and 1.85 for the Trail Blazers, Right now it is not looking good for the Warriors for having so many injuries, Stephen Curry, Andre Iguodala, Andrew Wiggins, and JaMychal Green, can not play for the Warriors, while James Wiseman, Donte DiVincenzo, and Draymond Green is questionable if they can play for the team, but the Trail Blazers also have a set of injured, Nassir Little, Justise Winslow, Keon Johnson, Greg Brown, and Gary Payton II can not play for the Trail Blazers while Jusuf Nurkic is questionable if he can play, but surely Damian Lillard is still on the team so that will be a great time for the Trail Blazers while Jordan Poole will be on the Warriors, for this game I really don't want my faith for the Warriors to be gone because without Donte DiVincenzo, and Draymond Green on a good defense and ball picking it will be hard for the Warriors to capitalize on the defensive side but on the offensive Poole will surely provide so will still be going with the underdog so Golden State Warriors is my pick,

Yes this is true! But it was a good game.
I looked at the statistics and the Pacers had a 61.3% accuracy on the 3 point shoot (very high), but the Cavs also had an interesting performance, getting 42.9%

Another interesting point, free throw, the Pacers got 95,2%, missing only 1 shoot
but in compensation the Cavs had 17 offensive rebounds and the Pacers only 4.

It was an interesting game, but the Pacers young players stood out and got this victory.

We share the same fate, the Odds have been extremely tempting and worth chasing imo, and most of them are also traps, you don't know who's fit enough to play and who isn't.

I think the NBA is just set up for this festive season to favor the bookies, over punters, or it's  simply just me having a bad run.

Same here, been having some unfortunate results on my bet lately. Earlier today I got 0/3 bets and yesterday 1/3 bets, seems I'm playing too much on my bets in chasing the odds. I'll ride with you guys this time, got a good feeling that these favorites will somehow end their day with a win while giving us bettors some good time in covering the handicap.

I have been there a lot too, especially lately. There is always that one leg that breaks my parlay. But that is gambling. Sometimes we win, and sometimes we lose. I still watch the game though. I get a lot of info from watching the games that I can use to future bets.


Good picks. Been losing lately, so maybe I will tail your picks. Hope my luck turns around.

I bet some of our brothers here are busy thinking about what will they have on the table on New Year's Eve but we still have a game that night so let's support our teams.  

My first bet.
Orlando Magic vs Washington Wizards - Wizards -5.5 - They had proved they are one of the strong teams although they are on the 12th seed with 15 wins, thanks to Beal, Kuzma, and the unicorn KP. And to add, Magic had lost a lot of players due to the suspension made by the NBA because of what happened against the Pistons. So, this might be an easy path for the Wizards to win the game.

Toronto Raptors vs Phoenix Suns - Raptors -1.5 - This guys are mad due to losing at their homecourt against Grizzlies, they will try to force a win.

Sacramento Kings vs Utah Jazz - Kings -3.5 - They defeated the Nuggets, one of their greatest feats is not giving up, they may win this round against the Jazz.

Parlay gives us heart break, hehe. I feel you man, sometimes we are very close but losing one leg of our parlay would destroy everything. Honestly, I prefer not watching the game when I'm betting good money as it will only make me emotional. Lots of games tomorrow, but I'm eyeing on the Warriors, I guess they'll continue winning, so I'll ride the train.

^^ Congrats mate, my parlay lost due to the Knicks losing their game to the San Antonio Spurs.

Now they are on a skid after a good start, I wanted to create another parlay just like what I did yesterday and do live betting, but I just decided to call it a night with that lost.

There are a lot of games tomorrow, so probably will go back. And congratulations as well to those who win big in tonight's game.

Congratulations bro. 2/3 for you. That was some good analysis there. I didn't know Cavs are having a hard time when it comes to battling with the Pacers.
They had the lead early in the fourth quarter but the Pacers didn't give up that easily. 

Yeah. They are leaving Nesmith behind and thought that was a good idea, in the end, it was he who became the hero of the Pacers and snatch the win from a bad-looking night for them. I really thought the Cavs could end that when I saw their good lead.
That dunk by Nesmith against Allen was a good highlight for the top 10.

So 1/3 for my early bets but I am still happy because I grabbed some good bets in the player props.
Flexing. 

You are lucky you were able to bet on the right side, sometimes when we are a bit doubtful, that's when winning comes easily. Congratulations man. About my experience last night,  it was bad because I bet on the underdog, the Rockets,  thinking they'll cover as sometimes they also pull a big surprise like even beating top 3 teams in the NBA,  but that game they weren't competitive, they let the Mavericks masaccred them.

The Indiana Pacers have pulled off some really stunning victories in the last one month, I didn't place any bet on them tonight, however I would have been upset with the lost because the Cavaliers were able take as many as 7 points lead early into the 4th Quarter, It's only natural to expect them to be able to bank on that advantage but they couldn't so the Pacers saw an opportunity with those sloppy possession from the Cavs and consecutive TO's, the 9-0 run in the final 2 minutes was the nail in the coffin.

_________________________________

I had a bit of money on the Memphis Grizzlies -3.5 against Toronto Raptors, although I was skeptical about the bet with Memphis Grizzlies not being very convincing in the last 5 games, where they lost 4 of them, but they were a very different team tonight and Ja Morant doing almost all the damage despite being not among the top 3 scorers, however his career-high 17 assists came in very handy.

Unfortunately, Pacers' young cores are able to suppress the hot squad of Cavaliers. Both teams do have a good shared scoring execution, but it was the home team who managed to win the game.

It was a close game and Cavs were still on the lead after the first half but the home team manage to create
good executions, then make a good stop to make sure that Cavs won't gain comfort till the last minute
of the game,.

Here is my bet for today:

Boston Celtics @1.39 vs Los Angeles Clippers

The Los Angeles Clippers (21-15) and the Boston Celtics (25-10) will meet tonight at TD Garden in Boston. The Clippers are coming from a win against the Raptors 124-113. The Celtics also is coming from a win against the Rockets 126-102. There are no key injuries in this game.

San Antonio Spurs vs New York Knicks @1.50

The New York Knicks (18-17) will meet the San Antonio Spurs (11-23) at AT&T Center tonight. The Knicks suffered a devastating lost against the Dallas Mavericks in overtime last Tuesday. The Spurs lost to Oklahoma City Thunder, 130-114, last Tuesday.

Knicks key injuries: RJ Barrett (finger) out, Jalen Brunson (hip) questionable
Spurs key injuries: Keldon Johnson (back) questionable, Devin Vassell (knee) questionable

Indiana Pacers vs Cleveland Cavaliers @1.58

The Indiana Pacers (18-17) will host the Cleveland Cavaliers (22-13) tonight at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The Cleveland Cavaliers failed to defend their home against the Brooklyn Nets on Monday. The Pacers won against the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday.

Cavaliers key injuries: Robin Lopez (illness) questionable
Pacers key injuries: Tyrese Haliburton (knee) questionable

Toronto Raptors vs Memphis Grizzlies @1.60

The Memphis Grizzlies (20-13) will meet the Toronto Raptors (15-19) tonight at Scotiabank Arena. The Grizzlies suffered a lost against the Phoenix Suns, 125-108 last Tuesday. The Raptors failed to defend their home against the Los Angeles Clippers in 124-113 loss.

Raptors key injuries: Precious Achiuwa (ankle) questionable, Otto Porter Jr (foot) out, Fred Vanvleet (back) questionable

Yep, it sucks that they couldn't take the lead for most of the game and then suddenly pulled a comeback late in the 4th quarter.

I like the Pacers spread as well and pushed it up to +7.5, they still have a decent record at home, and some of their home losses this month have been within 3-6 points so i'm expecting another tight result but the Cavs will probably take it.

We will have some interesting games in this round.
But I'm also following this Cavaliers game (and it was also my "only" bet)
The Pacers are a good team, but I believe they won't be enough to beat the Cavs, who have been doing well in their games lately.

Good luck everyone!

Coming off an off day for betting I got 3 games lined up so far tonight.

Knicks -5 away at San Antonio.  They need to rebound off that terrible loss on Tuesday.

Grizzlies -3 on the road

And I'm taking the Pacers +5 at home against the cavs.  They always play them tough.

Good luck tonight everyone!

Time to get back the losses, I wish we all win today.

Early picks:
Toronto Raptors vs Memphis Grizzlies - Grizzlies -3.5 - I highly doubt they will be losing the 3rd time. Even if it is a road game they are still one of the elite teams in the league, so I am betting for them. Expecting Desmond Bane to work his magic this time.

Indiana Pacers vs Cleveland Cavaliers - Cavs -4.5 - Also one of the top teams in the East with so many options for offense but what they are best at is their defense with their twin towers Mobley and Allen. They should cover this amount.

San Antonio Spurs vs New York Knicks - Knicks -5.5 - They showed Mavs a good game and almost defeated them if not for Luka's magical shot. I bet they can win against the Spurs too. Jalen Brunson is still questionable though.

Good luck everyone.
