That was a fun Warriors versus Mavericks game. Sadly, I didn't have the money yesterday to make a bet. But now I have some again and am ready to make some bets.
11 games later. Here are my early picks.
Orlando Magic - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers (-1.5) - I cannot put my money on the Magic without Banchero there, yet.
New York Knicks - Chicago Bulls - New York Knicks (-10.5) - LaVine probable to play.
Philadelphia 76ers - Cleveland Cavaliers - Cleveland Cavaliers (-10.5) - Maxey out.
Brooklyn Nets - Boston Celtics - Boston Celtics (-10.5)
That's it for me now. I will bet on the other games before they start. Good luck everyone.

Milwaukee Bucks - Toronto Raptors

Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Milwaukee Bucks
The Milwaukee Bucks started the season with a low win percentage and are performing surprisingly poorly. While Antetokounmpo's recent form has been impressive, the team's overall play lacks sustainability. This is one of the reasons for the inconsistent performance of the Milwaukee Bucks. The Toronto Raptors started the season with low expectations, but injuries to Bruce Brown and Scottie Barnes put the team in a difficult situation. Although Toronto's high 2 point percentage shows that they are effective on offense, they have one of the weakest defenses in the NBA. With both teams' defensive weaknesses, it's hard to pick a side in this game.
Nothing mindblowing with today's picks. It seemed like there were a bunch of easy matchups today so I went with a parlay including them. Not the greatest odds, but I feel pretty good about this one hitting. I didn't want to bet the Warriors vs Mavericks matchup because I think anything could happen, but that's probably the game I'll end up watching.

1/4. Ouch.
...
Suns and Kings went to overtime and the Suns cannot do anything with Fox and DeRozan. They could've won that during the regulation given 1 free throw and ball possession but they missed the opportunity. Well, they still fought hard even without KD playing.
That was so close mate, you should have won that amount but then, that's how it goes with parlay's. If the Suns was just able to close the game in their favor, I wonder how much you've got it in there. ...

1/4. Ouch.
The 76ers won by only 2 points against the Hornets.
The Timberwolves were defeated by the Heat with 1 point.
That's not a good day for me. And then this broke my heart completely.

Later, we have 5 games only. Here are my picks.
Oklahoma City Thunder - Los Angeles Clippers - Oklahoma City Thunder (-4.5)
San Antonio Spurs - Sacramento Kings - Sacramento Kings ML @1.80 - Back-to-back games for the Kings. I hope they are not exhausted.
Chicago Bulls - Cleveland Cavaliers - Cleveland Cavaliers (-5.5)
Good luck everyone and have a fun day!

Hopefully, later today, luck will be on our side to make up for the poor performance the other day.
So here's my picks.
Cleveland -7.5
Brookly -2
OKC -7
Sacramento vs San Antonio under 222.5
Washing vs Houston under 226.5

It could still be a toss-up because you never know which kind of Warriors could show up today.
I didn't for the Warriors and I've missed that, still nice try with OKC. Moving on with the match of San Antonio Spurs and the Sacramento Kings. Both are having tough luck close to each others losses and they have a 6-4 record for the Kings and 4-6 for the Spurs. I'm a Wemby fan so, let's do it Wemb with a decent odd.
I somehow like this handicap on OKC (-6.5). The Warriors will test them at home, and i'd imagine they'll win by at least double digits if they don't underperform. I don't want to underestimate the Warriors, but it's always tough to back teams on the road.

Denver Nuggets versus Dallas Mavericks will be a fun game to watch live and maybe make a bet.
That's it for my early picks and I think I am going to pick more later before the other games start. Good luck everyone and have a nice day.

Good luck with your pick, @ralle14. The total was set pretty high, I would've bet on the over, but since I'm unlucky today, I think you'll win. 
I appreciate the nice words and your hunch is right the under came through for the Clippers game. The Clippers and Raptors were on a hot start in the first few minutes pushing the live total up to 230 points. Then in the next few minutes, the game slowed down thanks to both teams going cold and the live total went down to 205-210 points.The pace was so slow they squeezed the entire shot clock on every possession and the Raptors were barely shooting for 40%. The Raptors almost forced an OT in the fourth quarter, but i'm glad the Clippers closed it out and the Raptors couldn't get a stop in the final minute.
Congratulations on your win.. I managed to avoid the sweep too, lol. I honestly thought the Raptors had no chance since they were constantly playing catch-up. At one point, they even tied the game, but the Clippers pulled off some great plays down the stretch, finishing with a 2-point victory. That was super close to overtime, which would’ve messed up your total.

Early picks here for games late, let's see if we’re still profitable… the more picks, the more fun! 
Cavaliers -13 loss
Toronto +6.5
Chicago vs Atlanta over 238.5 loss
Utah Jazz under 106.5 loss
Toronto +6.5
Utah Jazz under 106.5
Looks like we're out of luck today. I’ve got one active bet left, but honestly, I’m not feeling it anymore, so I’m fine if I end up going 0-4. I'll just bounce back tomorrow. Just missed a little on the Chicago vs. Hawks game...1 point more, and it would’ve gone over! The Bulls made a solid comeback, trailing by double digits only to win by double digits themselves. Impressive.
As for the Cavs, I thought their win streak might be over. They won in the end but still fell short of covering the spread.

I'll try another total bet and this time it'll be the under 226.5 points for the Clippers match since I don't feel good about the handicaps being offered today.
With the Clippers having one of the slowest pace (third last) in the league, I think they can push the total points below 220 even though the Raptors have been putting up 110+ points per game except for their yesterday's loss against the Kings.

And like how the GSW made my bet won last time, I'm betting again on them. Although the Cleveland Cavaliers are doing pretty well, I'm counting for the GSW still.
We win some, we lose some. Golden State Warriors was totally destroyed by the Cleveland Cavaliers. I lost this bet and that's fine. Another impressive win by the Cavs having them with a 10-0 run.

6 out of 10 - that's a 60% win rate. A profitable day for me...
The Sixers just fell a bit short, only needed 2 more points. The scoring was great in the first half, but then it really slowed down in the second half.
Right, Draymond did play, and the Cavs really put up a show here in the first and second quarter. And as much as we love the Warriors, the Cavs just demolished them from the beginning. So congrats to those who bet on them, initially I saw it was like -/+2.5 in the line.
And for sure, Cavs are for real this season, they could be the biggest surprise, just like the OKC from last season who suddenly become the top team.
Thanks, the Warriors suddenly went cold while the Cavs stayed hot with their shooting to build that 40+ point lead in the half. I might take them tomorrow as well against the Nets. And for sure, Cavs are for real this season, they could be the biggest surprise, just like the OKC from last season who suddenly become the top team.
I'm glad it was a sweat-free win today since the past several days have been rough with the favorites.
Now they will be facing lead leading Cavs on the road, so it's a battle of the leaders right now. There are reports though that Draymond is not going to play same as Podz or they are questionable.
It's still not confirmed, but I see the odds shift to the Warriors. They're now down to 2.25 from 2.50 earlier and the spread moved by a point (+3.5).I guess their win against the Celtics convinced a lot of bettors to ride their momentum and the Cavs have been shaky even though they're able to hold on to their 9-0 record.
Even though the Cavs failed me last time against the Bucks, i'll always take them with these odds.
