That's true, Howard can be reliable in the defense set-up and he proved it several times already but he is still underrated nowadays and seems that Vogel doesn't trust him that much because he's just getting some 12-15 minutes play in their previous games.

They should focus on winning now rather than making an experiment because they are now just have less than 10 games to play now before the regular season ends and they need to somehow improve like they did today even if they lost. LeBron needs them to be in their A-game just like today.

Sorry about that. It's just a bad day. 76ers will surely win but just didn't cover. While Brooklyn fought well but Grizzlies had a good night.
Those are nice picks.
I will follow the Bulls but I might take it if I am able to wake before the game. DeRozan and LaVine are both questionable to play so I just want to make sure they will be there before the tip-off.
As for the Denver Nuggets vs the Phoenix Suns, I will pick the home team Nuggets -4.5. But I like this much up and could end up entertaining. Will definitely watch the game.
-10.5 for the Bucks vs the Wizards. Good luck everyone.

Count me on those people who are expecting that the Nets will win today against the Grizzlies with no Ja Morant I got the Nets +2, I guess that was a trap and I was exactly baited.

Got to bounce back for tomorrow's games, below are my bets:
Suns +3 at Nuggets
Bulls -1 at Pelicans

Good Luck!

I'm sure everyone is expecting Brooklyn Nets with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving to easily win their game against the Memphis Grizzlies without Ja Morant. Can't believe that even both KD and Kyrie combined for 70+ points, they still lose to a team without their main scorer.

Memphis Grizzlies really amazed us this season. They are doing well even without Morant.

Good thing that I hesitate to bet on that Nets handicap prior to the game. I should have pissed by now lol.

I like the Chicago Bulls as well but I understand the impression of @Maslate that it could be a trap. Let's just follow our instinct and hope that we are on the right side, besides, no one could predict the correct outcome perfectly, we only make our analysis here.

For this game I'll bet Chicago bulls even I loss or I will win for my betting but I have a feelings that Chicago will help me to win  :
We all know that in this basketball game a player or a team must be have a teamwork and a good plan in order to claim the victory and that's strategy I'll saw it from Chicago bulls so that ill pick them as my champ even the betting is high or low.

Line like that are so scary, usually, bettors would go for the Bulls as the spread is very enticing, however, as for me, I would rather sit that one and look for another game where I think it's not a trap. But anyway, good luck on your pick, I could be wrong though.

Thinking of getting the Nuggets at home.

Chicago Bulls face off versus the New Orleans Pelicans tonight. I’m a bit surprised to see that the Bulls are favorited to win this game by only 1.5 points. I think DeMar DeRozan might be a little banged up and questionable for the game but even so I still think this is a good bet to take, the Pelicans are terrible. Going to be putting a few bucks on this one.

I think we've been calling this for sometime now, Lakers need to involved Howard specially in the 4th quarter against a team with good and strong center.

Unfortunately, coach Vogel might have forgotten that he has Dwight in the lineup because usually he loves to go small and we all know that it's not going to work or at least that kind of game play will not work in NBA. Maybe it did years ago with D'Antoni, but not anymore. Good centers like Ayton and Embiid are going to tear that defense up day in day out.

Most of the time when Howard is on the court, good things happened, so he should be given enough minutes if the Lakers want to win every game. Look what happened on their game against the Sixers, Howard had 24 points because he earned a lot of minutes, so the coach should not continue experimenting, give Howard a chance to prove himself even though he has already proven himself before.

I agree with the Howard case, DJ (former Laker), was just eating them up inside and when they put Howard, it's Joel time to be inserted in the game. I guess the mentally of Vogel to play small in no longer working. And maybe that's the reason why they traded DJ though, but they are left with one good center in Howard and then he seldomly used him in games.

It wasn't my lucky day. I didn't win in my two bets. I'm going to take a break from nba bets.
World cup qualifiers will be better for me.

Same here, haven't also thought that they could be this near especially without LeBron. Well, if they can play like this without their highest pointer then how come they can't play like this when LeBron is on the court, right? It really shows that they've been relying a lot on LeBron's talent even though it is clear enough that he can't carry the team anymore every game to win.

Howard should have got more minutes playing center in games because he is really effective in his spot, just like how they did today.

Here is the result on today's bet pretty much still in the bad day last bet but atleast I got 1 win.


Detroit Piston VS Atlanta Hawks SCORE 122 - 101 - LOST

The Atlanta Hawk was doing great in the 1st quarter but then the 2nd quarter have change it all and the Piston keeps on getting a high score ever since, Trae Young did his best with 21 points while De'Andre Hunter with 15 point isn't enough in getting a win over the Piston's Jerami Grant of 21 points and Cade Cunningham's 17 points, and most Piston players have double digit score so it was a hard time for the hawks.

Miami Heat VS Golden State Warriors SCORE 104 - 118 - LOST

Well, I don't know if I am going to be happy or not, but I like how the Golden State Warriors have won this game but right now I surely lost my bet on not betting for the Golden State Warriors, Kyle Lowry, has 26 points while Bam Adebayo, have 25 points but it was not enough Jordan Poole made a great performance, with 30 points, Andrew Wiggins, Damion Lee, and Jonathan Kuminga all have 22 points, winning the game.

Minnesota Timberwolves VS Phoenix Suns SCORE 116 - 125 - WIN
 
I really though that the Timberwolves will win this but it was a close game until the Suns have drop the bomb on the 4th Quarter, Jarred Vanderbilt has played double-double of 12 rebounds and 12 points, Karl-Anthony Towns has also played double-double of 11 rebounds and 15 points, and Anthony Edwards have a lead point of 19 points, but was not enough for the Suns, Deandre Ayton own double-double performance, of 14 rebounds and 35 points and Devin Booker's 28 Points, the Phoenix Suns now have 59 win and 14 losses giving them the lead on the standings.

What a good match between this 2  teams. Actually I didn't expect that Lakers can give 76er a close fight without Lebron. I was itching to place bet with76er with -10.5 since they have a complete strong roster and solid performance while Lakers has only veteran players that can't perform properly. Luckily I watch the game first and decided to abstain because Westbrook and the oldies gang show an impressive performance tonight. They just fall short but they really give a good fight against strong opponents. I hope they can still continue this performance with or without Lebron in the game.

They covered and win. Heat is not doing well and they even fought with each other on the bench. I don't know if it's Coach Spoelstra against Butler or is it Butler against Haslem. Having a veteran on the sidelines sure has its perks but sometimes it must be irritating for the young players.  
Won both games and even the Over for GSW vs Heat.

Just finished watching the Lakers game and it sure entertained me a bit ending in a close game. Glad if I could've caught the time Lakers were on the lead to bet for the 76ers but I was late.
Sorry about your Nets bets guys. That's itchy though, as Grizzlies was Morant-less.

Knick fan here and watch all the games.  Thibs is playing all the young kids and they playing with great energy, Hornets can't keep up tonight.  Outside of a flurry of 3s Charlotte is cooked I wouldn't in game bet at this point.  I'm bearish on the Knicks but not in this game right now.

Same here but already in the 4th quarter and I don't see the Hornets winning or covering the spread. I was surprised that the New York Knicks has jump on the lead early and Hornets is having a hard time catching up so I guess I will consider my bet as L already.

But there are a lot of games, thinking of putting a live bet, maybe the Suns vs Minnesota.

I'm also going with the Sixers -9.5 as this seems like a blowout situation for them now that Lebron is out on the side of the Lakers. Then again they still have a lot of players who can put up a lot of points to compensate.

Rockets+10 seems decent as well with Luka out since they just beat the Wizards in their last game.

Not trying to overcomplicate things, that's why i'm going with Kyrie's total points. The line has jumped nearly two points since this morning, Kyrie is celebrating his 30th birthday today, and the latest news that the NY City vaccine mandate will be modified tomorrow, allowing him to play for the Nets at home:
