Yeah that's why betting early on a game is risky the not playing list changes all the way up to tipoff.  And when you have a team resting so many players it makes it tough to figure out the likely outcome.  Nothing to go on.

True, that's why I opted to go most on live betting in the last remaining games. But there are times that I want to do a pre game bet, but then again, the Suns lost.


Not sure of this bets, but this could be an interesting options as well. Yeah, maybe James options for now is to just score points to get closer to Kareem's record and then maybe next season he can overtake him.

The big risk of taking the early picks, that trap happens with the Bucks.

If I remember it right, they are still the favorite before seeing that all the stars are going to sit and will not play against the
clippers, sad to say that bettors expect that bucks will still aim for another win.

After that, back to back against their rival teams from the east. It's best for the coaching staff to rest them as they already
got assured of the playoff spot.

Just look at them now, LeBron is just playing like it was just an exercise for him but the dude can still grab and do an easy 30+ points even if there's no pressure at all to grab that much points. I'm thinking that this is his other way of scouting young players and make them wear the Yellow+Purple jersey next season and that's good because they've started they're scouting session.
I'm sure that we will see new young players next season instead of these old Alphas that's struggling to play in harmony.

It gets tricky towards the end of the season when it comes to gambling predictions.  You never know which star is resting themselves to get ready for the playoffs and which teams are hungry to get meaningless wins.  There are always individual player goals that might motivate some guys without it being too well known.  Then you have guys like LeBron going for the scoring title.  It might not be a bad idea to take some long shots and hope for the best. 

I am curious if there is betting available anywhere on who will win the scoring title, or which teams will be included in the playoffs.  I'm tempted to bet against the Lakers and bet with LeBron in that scenario as I think his goal going forward is to score a lot of points and not lead his team into what would likely be a first round exit, if they won the play-in...

Totally. 
Absolutely. 
We are hyped by the favorites to win most of their games and they expected we would do the same. They are not wrong. 
Bookies day. But we could get it back as always.
1 game is already starting 76ers vs Charlotte Hornets. I already locked my bet for the 76ers -6.5 when I saw Harden and Embiid playing. I hope they cover. Another game will start minutes away. Knicks vs Cavaliers. Cavaliers ML.

Hawks vs Nets - This will be the most fun game of all. Tied at 40 wins and 37 losses. 1 team will take the 8th spot if they win and the other will fall to the 10th seed. I'll support the Nets -3.5.

The injury list is always updated and Bucks' key players are not injured. They are just pumped up last game. Game-time decision and Milwaukee Bucks decided to sit out their stars since they already clinched a playoffs spot and to have a rest. Not against the rules after all in preparation for the playoffs.

It's a trap. I know bookies know that but decided to play a game with their bettors lol. They are sometimes toying with the bettors. Bookies know internally what is happening inside the NBA and that's the challenge for the bettors, to have a good pick.

If you assume that majority of the bettors' bets are on the favorites, then you are right it's a bad day for us. However, some bettors are too smart to carefully analyze the game, and they just don't bet on the favorite without making deep research first.

For me, I expected Memphis to cover because they have been playing excellent basketball, in fact, they are in the good run so covering the handicap is very possible, but they exceed my expectation because they win the game.

Everyone lost today, even the Suns were outplayed by the Memphis. But I do agree that the Bucks games was not expected, I have them -5.5 against the Clippers and when I got the time to check the score, it was Clippers with a huge lead.

Celtics win but didn't cover the spread, it was a total disaster for us NBA bettors.

Unfortunately, Milwaukee Bucks lost to the Clippers I don't know what happen but from that game, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton, Jrue Holiday, and Brook Lopez doesn't play against the Clippers, and I really thought that the Bucks don't have any injuries, on the said reports, the list that I have been looking at might not be updated, I am pretty sure the Milwaukee Bucks should have won that game but because of the un-updated list I have lost a bet, pretty much frustrated about my source,

Boston Celtics VS Indiana Pacers SCORE 128-123 - WIN

This is a very close match indeed, at 1st the Celtics from start to finish have to lead the game, but the Pacers are not far behind, I think it was a close match but the Pacers don't process until the game ends, Lance Stephenson has a double-double performance of 11 assist and 11 points, Oshae Brissett has 17 points and Tyrese Haliburton had made a lead points of 30, but was still not enough to Al Horford's double-double of 10 rebounds and 17 points while Jayson Tatum has 31 points and Jaylen Brown have 32 points, the questionable have played the game.

Memphis Grizzlies VS Phoenix Suns SCORE 122-114 - LOST

This game from Start to finish was the Grizzlies' lead, but the Suns are not letting the Grizzlies have a huge lead still the Sun was left behind even without Jo Morant to the team the Grizzlies have performed so well, Deandre Ayton and JaVale McGee have made a great defense by both of them having 12 rebounds Mikal Bridges has 18 points and Devin Booker has a sensational performance of 41 points but it was quite not enough because of Memphis Grizzlies player have double Digits score except for Kyle Anderson's that has 6 points and Jarrett Culver that has zero, while Dillon Brooks has 30 lead points for the Grizzlies.

Milwaukee Bucks VS Los Angeles Clippers SCORE 119-153 - LOST

This is really sad, I should have looked until the game started I never thought that Brook Lopez, Jrue Holiday, Khris Middleton, and Giannis Antetokounmpo have injuries and can not play against the Clippers because some injury list is not updated, but I will sure look for other sites maybe ESPN would be a reliable and updated site to look for.

Bucks' game was a trap, suddenly rest their stars. While Clippers need that win so they could keep the 8th spot. I think they are safe in that position now or they are 1 win away to keep it.
2 upset games that I watched. Nuggets were defeated by the T'wolves where I lost my bet and Dallas Mavericks were blown out by the Wizards.
Caldwell Pope red hot and the Unicorn helping to defeat his former team.
I got a parlay for the Spurs, Celtics, Raptors, and Mavs to win. Sadly, the Mavs was the only one who let me down and broke it. 

Looks like Lebron will be playing, i'm going with the Lakers @1.82 here knowing it's a must win, even though their head-to-head results against the Pelicans are ugly I think the Lakers should take this one since they're still decent when it comes to home games. The same thing can be said on the Pelicans side but I think the Lakers will be more encouraged to secure the win knowing they have two of their best players back in the lineup.

Unfortunately, both of them lost big in this game.

Even the complete Phoenix Suns is down against the Memphis which is undermanned but they bring their A games against the Suns.

I have the Pelicans -1.5 early bet against the Lakers.

I love the odds and I would have like follow you on this, I hope I'll be able to catch with up it (currently out for the night and I don't have access to make crypto transactions).

The Mavericks -7.5 and Milwaukee Bucks -3.5 are my picks for today.

Gl!

∆ G. Mathews U11.5 pts / K. Porter Jr 25+ PRA / J. Green 20+ pts / D. Mitchell 25+ PA / Kings ML @4.89 ∆ X

This is slightly different from what i'm accustomed to bet, the higher odds and multiple selections, but i think it has a really good chance of hitting in the end. These two teams met just two days ago, and if not for the final low-scoring 4th quarter this total would've boomed over 260.

G. Mathews U11.5 pts - he has gone 15 straight games under that number, basically filling a roster spot for the Rockets, in the last 10 he is avg. under 5 shot attempts.
K. Porter Jr and J. Green usage rates have gone up significantly in the last two games (with C. Wood out of the starting lineup). K. Porter Jr almost put up back-to-back triple-double performances while J. Green has gotten the ultimate green light on offense, with two straight over 30pts. Rockets are tied with Orlando for the worst record in the league with just 20 wins apiece, and i don't think either team wins another game till the end of the season, obviously to improve their chances of getting that #1 draft pick.

Davis was the big missing link for the team, without him we see how the Lakers are struggling. Even having Lebron and WB who are both MVPs, they still cannot succeed because they don't have the chemistry that is necessary to win.

When he is needed the most, he is out, and we don't know when he will come back.

Better to rest for now instead of pushing if they already accept that the chance is too slim, they are just going to risk their assets

in case new injury will happen during the game. I agree with you, might be better to invest with young stars and build a team that has

a better chance instead of bringing old stars that are only good in papers. There's no blend of good chemistry up to this close nothing happen

to the team, without Davis, we witness how weak the Lakers are.

Today i bet Karl Anthony Towns over 36,5 points+reb+assist. His season average is 38 PRA. He recently had a weaker streak mainly because of bad matchups(Mavs, Suns, Mavs, Celtics, Raptors). If JyMychal Green will be out today (still to be decided) he will be atack Cousins in pick and roll a lot, here I can see a big advantage of KAT.

Odds for this game are 1.65 for the Bucks while 2.30 for the Clippers, I'm also betting on the Bucks to win this game, after covid I don't know if this factor of playing at home still works, many teams have lost even playing at home , when in the past they were very strong when playing at home, it's as if after covid this factor of playing at home doesn't make much difference

I think we need to be honest about this issue as well. The Lakers are having a really bad time, it's impossible for a team to be champions with a star player. I don't think they have much of a chance in the playoffs.
Next season, the most important players of the team will leave, so they may have a much worse season
