I like Brown now, sometimes he is inconsistent but in the last few games, he is having some kind of consistency.
Well, he realy needs to provide because the Celtics trusted him by singing him with a big salary.

Nuggets loves to move the ball as well, let's just say that Celtics were the better team last night, and that resulted to a dominant win.

---

Yeah, let's hope it will be different this playoffs, IIRC, in the past playoffs, they always fall to the Heat or the Bucks.

Exactly, they don't rely on one player only and Tatum has really matured to be the leader of the team. We can sure expect that they will have a great performance in the playoffs, they haven't been in the Finals yet but who knows, maybe this time around they'll be lucky.

Another great performance from the young Celtics,

They take this game from the home team in a very convincing win. That combo of Tatum and Brown are really hot
even the defense was great they are able to make a shot or rotate the ball to an open man.

The advantage of Boston is they are moving the ball so well, not just Tatum, but everyone is participating.
Much easier to find high percentage shots when everyone is moving even without the ball.

Nuggets lose by 20 points, damn, I can't believe that, it's too much massacre for the Nuggets. I can't believe that the Celtics are this good, looks like they are so ready in the playoffs as they showed their consistency in the recent games.

Unfortunately I couldn't bet on that game and I had in mind that the Celtics would win this game.

The Boston team showed that they are still a dangerous team, even playing away from home, and also from their roster being young.
Let's see if the Celtics can maintain this performance in the future.

Here are the result for today's game

Sacramento Kings VS Phoenix Suns SCORE 124 - 127 - WIN

A close game indeed, the Kings were leading in the 1st half until the Phoenix Suns got their momentum on the 2nd half. Domantas Sabonis had a double-double performance while Harrison Barnes made 21 points for the team, and Davion Mitchell scored 28 points. But it was not enough because the Suns won the game. DeAndre Ayton had a double-double performance with 10 rebounds and 12 points, while Mikal Bridges had 27 points and Devin Booker had 31 points, helping the Phoenix Suns win the game.

Denver Nuggets VS Boston Celtics SCORE 104 - 124 - LOST

I was so surprise but the Boston Celtics is pretty much tougher now, Nikola Jokic just made 23 points but the Celtic's Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum both have 30 points winning the game pretty much it was a one sided game,


Golden State Warriors VS San Antonio Spurs SCORE 108 - 110 - LOST

I could say this is a very close game without Stephen Curry Klay Thompson just made 24 points, and Jordan Poole just made 28 points while the Spurs most of their players have 2 digit score points, it was a very close game, and on the game stats, Field Goals have gone for the Warriors, with 45.6% while the Spurs have 38.8% 3-Pointers was gotten by the Spurs with 37.5% while the Warriors got 33.3% and Free Throw was also got by the Spurs with 76.0% while the Warriors got 71.4% pretty much a close game but the Spurs was the victory.

 

As I have said on the other thread, the referee did really control the outcome of the game.

The NBA should look at it more closely because calling fouls with less than 10 seconds to go? It's good that the Spurs won for those who have bet on the underdogs in this game, but it was very ugly and the breaks went on the Spurs side.

2of4

That's some questionable call from the officials at the last minute of the game between the Warriors vs Spurs.
First was the foul made by the Spurs which should've been a timeout first called by Steve Kerr then the Looney foul from a box out. A big game-changer that turned it over to the Spurs side. Good game for Poole but I was expecting more from Wiggins on the offensive end. I should've added more for his assists + rebounds props.
Cheers guys!

Here are my picks for today's game highlighted in green are my picks,

Sacramento Kings VS Phoenix Suns

the Stake odds for this game is 3.25 for the Kings while 1.40 for the Suns Terence Davis, and De'Aaron Fox can not play for the Kings while Dario Saric, Frank Kaminsky, Chris Paul, Iffe Lundberg, Cameron Johnson, and Cameron Payne can not play for the Suns, well while setting this post up, the game was live and starting so both teams are doing really great, but I guess it will be the Phoenix Suns that will surely get the victory, even though they had so many injuries,

Denver Nuggets VS Boston Celtics

The stake Odds for this game is 2.27 for the Nuggets while 1.67 for the Celtics, right now Vlatko Cancar, Jamal Murray, Michael Porter Jr., and Zeke Nnaji can not play for the Nuggets while Aaron Nesmith is questionable if he can play and so if Nesmith could play Celtics will be 100% at full capacity, but I really think that the Nuggets is no pushover despite having so much injuries and the Odds difference, I will still go and try my luck with the Denver Nuggets.

Golden State Warriors VS San Antonio Spurs

The Stake odds were 1.39 for the Warriors while 3.15 for the Spurs and Stephen Curry, Andre Iguodala, Gary Payton II, and James Wiseman can not play for the Warriors while Doug McDermott, Romeo Langford, Lonnie Walker IV, and Keita Bates-Diop can not play for the Spurs, without Stephen Curry with the Warriors because of what happened over Marcus Smarts I still believe with the tandem of Draymond Green and Klay Thompson or Jordan Poole can get through this, and needs to up their games, especially Draymond Green he needs to get his Rhythm back, but Spurs still got Dejounte Murray so they should be careful with that, but I am still siding with the Warriors.

I'm liking the Knicks @2.30 to take down the Jazz, the Knicks are a hit or miss but I somewhat like them in this position since the Jazz is in a similar situation when it comes to their road matches. Lineups aren't confirmed but i'll take the risk on the pre-live knowing the odds could shift even further if the Jazz has missing players.

Also, the Knicks have the tendency to beat good teams as they kept it close against the Grizzlies last week but they always struggle to hold leads or close out games.

I really agree and it's crazier times now.

I like 76ers and Warriors respective matchups and that'd like be where I'll be leaning tonight, but I'll wait close to the game.

That's the good side of watching the live game. You can assess if which team is having a good advantage.

It's no longer new to this league that management are doing some unexpected decisions, load management that gives stars
a good rest, this kind of action creates disadvantages for the bettors.

Betting in a much earlier period in the kind of events will bring you to a risky position, unless the team is well organized even
without the stars, can still manage to win.

Yeah, thanks guys. But there are times I won't be able to catch the game, especially the early ones so I'd need to make the bet at this time.
The problem is we don't have the resource to know who is in or not as early as possible but just injury reports from the ESPN website. Even sports analysts won't have a peek about it until an hour before or maybe later than that.

Back to early picks and I wish this time will have good results.
Golden State Warriors vs San Antonio Spurs. Warriors -6.5. I think that should be enough to cover.
Philadelphia 76ers vs Toronto Raptors - 76ers -6.5. Embiid is questionable but they got Harden if ever he will miss the game. Time to shine again.

I haven't look at the against the odds stat but the betting against the Lakers has to have been a winning year for bettors.  I've went against them a ton in the beginning of the season when bookies always over pick the Lakers same with the Yankees.  Betting against the Yankees early in the baseball season usually fares well too.

I always do that everytime I put a decent amount of bet in a certain game, this is making sure you'll be able to apply your analysis, otherwise, you jut hope you'll be lucky that you will still win and that would not work in the long run as winning probability is the most important recipe for success.

Anyway, how about we start a discussion on the games tomorrow?

Warriors playing at home without Curry, will they win the game?
Philly -5 against the Raptors, will they cover the spread?

These two games is what I'm interested to bet on.

Sometimes you have to be clever, betting in game time is very effective to ensure that you know all the players that will play and who are out in the game especially the superstars because they have a big impact on the outcome of the game. On the other hand, if the opposing team you are betting would also announce that their star player will not play, then that would give you the advantage.

For sure you can get back on track mate.

As for the sports bookies knowing ahead of time who will be in or out as early, I also have the feeling that they've known it before hand specially bookies in Las Vegas. And for sure crypto bookies rely on them for odds making. Maybe it's time to best bet on live and see how is going to play or not.

Just as I thought it was all a trap. My chills are correct but I didn't listen to it. 
Questions suddenly pop out how our bookies knew who is in and out as early as possible. I don't see anything in social media and even in basketball analysts' pages about Giannis resting and other stuff.
Losing streak. This is bad. Hopefully, most of us can get back on track in the next game. This will be the time they will rest their stars unpredictably so gotta be careful.

Another disappointing loss for the Lakers, good thing I tuned in when the Wizards were down early and got them at plus points. At the start of the third quarter it felt like the Lakers are slowly going to run away with the lead but luckily the Wizards held on and kept the lead within a single digit at the end of the quarter. 

I didn't have much time today to look through the games, only a few live bets. Here's a nice win i had on the Cavs and Pistons game. The Cavs were down five and shooting only 17% from 3pt range, nearly 20% worse than the Pistons. I figured the 3pt % would balance it out in the second half and the Cavs would make a comeback to win like they did against Denver last night, a fun fact...Detroit hasn't had two wins in a row on the road all season long, streak is alive Lol. Lucky with the O/U (it was trending in the right direction at the half at around 230), last-second 3pt shot from Cade, lol i will take it given the last-second ultimate bad beat that i had yesterday with the Lakers/Raptors.
