My bet lost, no big deal, it was a risky choice so I was careful.
We will win again tonight because there are good games.

Giannis still needs more games to bring back his old MVP form. I guess betting on his team will likely bring us more L than W, so maybe let's wait a bit until the time will come that the Bucks will become consistent in winning and Giannis will average his usual stats.

Most probably, but Jazz are also a great team and they are beating good teams, so you cannot really make sure if they'll beat the Jazz. Anyway, I would still consider betting on the Bucks if the odds are very attractive, they are playing at home, so I wouldn't be surprise if they'll be a heavy favorite.

True and I think this is a big mental game win for the Memphis, they didn't allow Giannis and the Bucks to take off from the first quarter and then continue to pour and unloading their bench to play.

For sure the Bucks will want to come back after this huge lost. So better to look for them against the Jazz at Fiserv. It's their home court and although they will be facing another Jazz team, they are playing and defending good at home.

Bad night for the Bucks, Giannis is unable to provide the lift the needs from him while with Memphis everything seems right everyone
are doing their share both offense and defense.

Not good for the Bucks, but still they have good spot number in the east while Memphis is now the
top seeded from the West.

Congrats to all who win the game today, to all those who lose, there are many games to analyze
tomorrow, best of luck!

Taking the bucks wasn't a good idea though, they experience their biggest loss this season and I can't believe it happened to a team that has won previously a championship. Giannis was very limited this game, and overall they are also outrebounded by the Memphis Grizz.

Pelicans kinda ran out of gas in the last 2 games but you can't blame them as they have perfect winning streak of 5 games just before that. With how they looked in the last month , I can say for sure they are a real candidate for winning West Conference but also a serious candidate for being NBA champs ...and Celtics vs Pelicans would be the best finals we could get this year in my honest opinion. 

Yeah, an enormous lead. 8 players with double digits while on the Bucks team, Middleton cannot find his range just yet. I don't know what's happening to him but that's not the Middleton we used to see. He should try harder on making those shots, 1/12 field goals only one 3 pointer went in. That's way below the average and he stayed in the game for 22 minutes.
I lost all my bets, I didn't know Booker will play and the Clippers are also restricting John Wall's minutes, it's all Mann who is doing the work.
They should at least play during home games even with back-to-back games. Clippers babies PG and Kawhi, so fragile.

I also had my bet on Milwaukee Bucks despite knowing fully well that Jrue Holiday was out, I had no idea that both Ja Morant and Steven Adams would be back for the game, but I wouldn't have had a different thought , because I still see Milwaukee Bucks as highly competitive, However, Ja Morant played as if he's been fit all this while, he was very explosive and ended up with triple double, and handed the Bucks their 2nd loss from 3 games, while Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies extended their winning streak to 7 games in a row.

I took an earlier bet when Curry was getting hot, I can see him making 10 triples in the whole game but when I saw him hold his shoulder after the incident I know I am going to lose my bet. It could've been different though if only Draymond didn't join the locker room due to ejection.
I do take long shots like that. Like the Lakers versus Celtics 2 days ago, the line opened for +10.5 for the Lakers while they are down by 14 iirc.
Bets like this as sometimes profitable especially for teams that you knew could come back from such a high deficit.
i.e. Sacramento, Indiana
Oh, so maybe it's a good thing to risk for the Bucks. I'll take the ML. Jrue is out, I will trust Middleton and Giannis to up their game.
Congrats, bro.

I'm laying off tonight I don't like the spreads for too any of the games.  If anything I might take the over in this Bucks and Memphis game.  Just want to sit back and enjoy this one it should be a good game.  Good luck to everyone tonight.

My bets won 3/4

It's the first time my first quarter bet has lost. (Los Angeles Clippers)

My pick for tonight.

Memphis Grizzlies vs Milwaukee Bucks = Milwaukee Bucks Win 2,18 Odds.

Good luck guys.

Hope you didn't tailed me on that bet mate I lost all three bets that I've mentioned. The only team on my list that won was only the Miami Heat but sadly, my bet didn't go through because I lack .5 as their score only have 2 points difference.

Looking at the sportsbook, I only see 4 games that will be played later. Bad day for me, so I'll just bet live. Sorry guys.

I would have done the same though, you are lucky you get that 8-1 odds. Warriors are a good team, even if this team will be down 20 points, you can always trust them to play hard and to come back, this game, they are just a bit short because Pacers are shooting very well outside.

I saw the line last night on the Warriors vs Pacers near the end of the 3rd quarter and the Warriors were down 6 or so. The odds were 8-1 so i bet .006 on the gamble. I ended up losing the bet but Warriors down less than 10 with a whole quarter to go was a bet worth taking.

Do any of you take a long shot here and there like that?

Magic is for real, they are playing with so much confidence, so I would say that his young team has a chance to be in the playoffs. If you guys notice, they are on a 4 winning streak now, so I think we have to think twice betting against this team as we might lose some money.

Yeah, hehehe, GSW lost again on the road,  I thought that is the perfect opportunity for them to break that curse against the Pacers.

Heat won the game, but didn't cover the spread.

Hornets lost to the Pistons in OT, and then one of the biggest upset tonight, Magic over the Hawks, 8 Magic players scoring double digits, taking about balance scoring.

I don't think it's a trap, Memphis is on a 6 win streak already. So as respect, they are the slight favorite here.
I guess Bucks are a good pick as Giannis are slowing coming back to his normal.


Pelicans could think of beating the Jazz but Jazz would let that happen. I mean, Jazz know how to beat them as they are already up 2-0 this season, so I'll stick with the trend. By the way, Clarkson does not even have a good game last game, so I think if he will have a great game, their chance of winning will increase more.

Yeah, it was a bad day even for those who made a bet for the favorites.
I mean, I can understand the Warriors losing with Steph injured and Green thrown out due to 2 technicals, but the Hawks are a different story. From start to finish it's a disaster for them.

Anyway, we have 4 games later.
I like Milwaukee but the spreads seem wrong. Grizzlies being the favorite means something, a trap. Jrue or Middleton? Those players might not play this game. But I saw Giannis in player props so I think he will be there.

Home game for Utah against New Orleans again. I doubt the Pelicans will let them win twice. Please don't.
Pelicans -3.5
LA Clippers vs Suns - Clippers -3.5. I still doubt the Suns up until now, they had been losing even against weak teams while Clippers have a deep roster.
If they want Kawhi to rest, it won't matter too much.

Pretty much today is not really my lucky day in picking a pick, and all game was an upset and all of my picks was a lost,

Charlotte Hornets VS Detroit Pistons SCORE 134 - 141 - LOST

Well those not available for the Hornets had cost them to struggle a lot, but surely the Pistons has a much desire to win than the Hornets, Alex Burks have shown his potential Bogjan Bogdanovic was keeping the team alive and Jalen Duren has a thing for rebound and defense, a good addition for the Detroit Piston,

Indiana Pacers VS Golden State Warriors SCORE 125 - 119 - LOST

It is weird that the Warriors is letting Divincenzo play so much but maybe they are trying him out if he could be a great asset one day, and letting him play could surely see his potential but surely no Klay Thompson on the game and even though Curry have scored , 38 points they still lost to the Pacers,

Orlando Magic VS Atlanta Hawks SCORE 135 - 124 - LOST

Pretty much the Magic have given their all at the start and I was really shocked from the result of the end of the 1st quarter the Magic already have 50 points while Atlanta Hawks just have 22 points, it was a total kill from the start of the match and after that they just let the Hawks gets the lead if they can,

Chicago Bulls VS New York Knicks SCORE 120 - 128 - LOST

for me this was a close game super close the Knicks can also win it, but again Demar DeRozan did a great job in getting a run for their money with this win,
