Young and his squad manage to protect their home. It was the great outside shooting from everyone, though Young got 43 points but

the support he gets from his teammates really lifts this win. I can say that this is the Hawks we have seen last season, the fighting capabilities

even they are against the top competitors, they are all ready and willing to do their best to win the game, Suns winning streak ends and it was

really tough for both teams. They both try to take it from one another. It was the hawks who's more determine to win.

Sorry guys, we lost with our Suns bet. Trae Young equipped his hot hands. Maybe it's time for CP3 and the crew to rest for a bit.
Caught a live bet from the Warriors vs Kings game @+19.5 for the Kings but the lead went further to 26 points so I was worried for a time that I won't hit my bet, luckily the Kings went on a run again but just not enough to try and win the game. It covered the spread though. 
I could've lost if I took the -13.5 for Warriors early pick. Cheers to the winners.

Here are the results of my picks

Atlanta Hawks VS Phoenix Suns SCORE 124 - 115 - LOST

Golden State Warriors VS Sacramento Kings SCORE 126 - 114 -WIN

Los Angeles Clippers VS Los Angeles Lakers SCORE 111 - 110 - WIN

Trae Young and De'Andre Hunter did play did are why we should check before the game start if those in question are available to play, and the two did pay and the Hawks have shown aggression toward the 3 pointers, giving them the highest percentage on the 3 pointers, John Collins have a double-double having 10 Rebounds 1 Assist and 19 Points, Kevin Huerter with 3 Rebounds, 3 Assists, and 19 Points while the main man Trae Young has 5 Assists and 43 Points getting a win against the leading Phoenix Suns.

The Spread of scores from the Warriors is really remarkable the Golden State Warriors have given priority to giving rest and rotating the players for the Warriors while Harrison Barnes, Maurice Harkness, and Davion Mitchell have struggled in getting the play done, with their limited numbers, the Warriors have prevailed in the Field goals and 3 pointer percentage, and you will likely see how the Warriors excel on defense even without Draymond Green they have a total of 40 defensive rebounds and 9 in offensive a remarkable and tactical win for the Golden State Warriors.

It was really a close match against the 2 teams, and that is why I never trusted Russell Westbrook he is not very consistent but Anthony Davis has shown his worth giving the Lakers 17 Rebounds 2 Assists and 30 Points a double-double performance but that is not enough and Reggie Jackson have lead in winning the team for the Clippers but Anthony Davis have missed that layup in getting a win against the Clippers.

Trae Young did play tonight, he is still sore in his shoulder but he can move and shoot the ball.
Still very close game up to this point, as the Hawks is leading the Suns in their home court. It was Bridges who are taking the lead for the Suns, as he is guarded by Young in the low post and just doing some basic turn around shots. Booker though has some terrible shooting night but still scoring double digits. So let's see, I also have the Suns in this game.

Not so much game lines worth the bet imo, no clear decision if I should got with the favs or underdogs, so I'm having just the Suns -3.5 vs Atlanta Hawks @ 2.05, I hope the Suns can continue their before streak, second double digits winning streak within the year.

Another bet I was tempted to bet on is Sacramento Kings +13.5 vs Warriors, I mean the Warriors can be handful, but the Kings win against struggling Nets would be some sort of morale boost for them to get going tonight.

I also prefer the Suns' handicap as I don't think their streak would end today and if they win it'd be at least by 5 points, the only reason the handicap is a bit low is because Trae Young is still listed as game time decision.

After the Hawks lost against the Raptors yesterday there's probably a good chance he'd play today and maybe it's one of the reason why the odds are shifting to the side of the Hawks.

G. Trent Jr. 3+ 3pts made ◌ G. Trent Jr. 20+ pts @1.78 X

Without a doubt, this is my favorite play of the day. Gary Trent Jr. has been on a roll recently, putting up incredible numbers. He tied the Raptors franchise record for consecutive 30+ point games against Miami and has a chance to break DeRozan's record. Interestingly, the Bulls and Raptors play each other today, so Gary Trent can do it against the Raptors great.

...and even though the Bulls defense is ranked #1 on the season against opposing SG, their recent defensive stats are extremely poor: second to last in opponent points per game at 121/L3, and dead last in opponent three point % at 42/L3.

I think sometimes the underdogs should also be winning. It would be bland to watch teams like the Suns or Nets winning every single game. Actually,  the underdog's winning sometimes keeps up the hype alive. But, I have to say that I expected the Cavs to win against the Rockets but seems like they have played a disappointing game overall. I hope they will be able to turn around in the next one.

 Nice catch, it's indeed that Memphis bounces back after that last game loss.

that home court advantage did not work out well for the NYK, wondering where Kemba will land as rumors of trade, maybe
still ongoing, scoreless in 17 mins, not good for a caliber like him.

By the way, congrats to all the winners, and those who didn't ride here, a lot of games to pick as early as now.

Thank you, glad that I followed my instincts and it was just a lucky win though given that Bane scored much lower as well as Ja Morant, luckily Jackson Jr. took over. Other than that, I'm also that confident that Grizzlies can really beat the Knicks easily.

Anyways, I'm interested on the Bulls vs Raptors game tomorrow. The Bulls are the underdogs here and both of them have won in their last game. I will follow my instincts again just like the last time, so I'll go with the Bulls @ 3.5 on the road. Good luck on your bets guys!

Nice move, a -13.5 spread was a indeed bit high even if the Warriors now is almost unstoppable to beat. So, it's quite practical to wait for some changes later on or let it slide.
I'll follow your bet on the Suns mate, I'm also that confident that they can handle it well and this team isn't dependent on their role players that's why I know they can easily cover that handicap. There's some small changes on the line, now it's SUNS -4

Warriors are back as super dogs -13.5 is needed for a respectable profit. I'll pass on early bets with that high of a handicap. Will try it during live game if there's a bit of a change.
My early picks:
Atlanta Hawks versus Phoenix Suns - Suns -4.5 It's a bit low so there must be a twist again. Could it be Booker or Ayton who will do the load management or will they just control their minutes? I will still take the risk.
San Antonio Spurs versus Miami Heat - Heat -4.5
Just be careful with your bets guys and I think the best way would be to take it before the game if you are in doubt.

Nice bet! Congratulations @Mirakal and everyone who put their bets on the Grizzlies, spread was definitely covered as Grizzlies devastated the NY Knicks today on their own homecourt. Though, Morant and Bane didn't really played as expected today and only scored way lower than they played on their last 5 games but atleast they've won and Jackson also contributed well.

Lots of upset on the game last night. Most of the underdogs in the game won.

We have the following underdog who win.

1- Orlando Magic against Indiana Pacers
2- Washington Wizards against Philadelphia 76ers
3- Houston Rockets against Cleveland Cavaliers
4- Oklahoma City Thunder against Dalals Mavericks
5- Sacramento kings against the Brooklyn Nets.

Early Picks for tomorrows game highlighted in green are my picks

Atlanta Hawks VS Phoenix Suns

The stake Odds for this game are 2.85 for the Hawks While 1.45 for the Suns, it is still pretty close even though Trae Young and De'Andre Hunter are still in question if they can play while the Suns have Dario Saric, Frank Kaminsky, Cameron Payne, Landry Shamet, Abdel Nader have their different injuries, and Deandre Ayton and Jae Crowder are in question if they can play, I really think this could be a close game, but you can not deny the great game the Phoenix Suns is doing, but I think you should consider to bet late and wait for some reports if De'Andre Hunter and Trae Young could really play or not, but    Bogdan Bogdanovic, Kevin Huerter, and John Collins still going to play but not enough if De'Andre Hunter or Trae Young is not around, but I will bet for the Phoenix Suns.

Golden State Warriors VS Sacramento Kings

Stake Odds, 1.09 for the Warriors and 8.00 for the Kings, for me, not an ideal match to bet but you can still bet on individual player performance, again    James Wiseman, Draymond Green, Nemanja Bjelica, and Andre Iguodala can not play and Otto Porter Jr. is in question if he could play, while Marvin Bagley III, Terence Davis, and De'Aaron Fox can not play for the Kings like I said this is not a profitable game to bet, but you can always bet for individual players and with this kind of Odds, there is no doubt Golden State Warriors will win this,

Los Angeles Clippers VS Los Angeles Lakers

Stake Odds, 1.73 for the Clippers and 2.17 for the Lakers, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, Jason Preston, and Jay Scrubb can not play for the Clippers, while Kendrick Nunn and Lebron James can not play Lebron James still have a swelling on his left knee if it hadn't subsided then Lebron will not return to the court to play said on the news, well this is a bit hard to decide on who I may pick this is a close one but each team has their own player injuries, but it could be a close match, I just don't have trust on Russell Westbrook if he's going to do a job well done or Anthony Davis and Carmelo Anthony could do the job for him, I think I will have a go with the odds, and bet for the Clippers.

And you can see the disappointment from Luka there, as you have said poor defense and then he goes one on one, goes to his favorite spot wherein he hits a lot of buzzer beaters but missed his shots.

And then in the OT they jump on the gun first, but a drought and then Oklahoma having an easy basket.

How about the Magic coming from behind and winning against the Pacers? I just check the game and see that the Pacers is on a good lead in the 4th, but then the final score, Magic by a point. Pacers is the favorite to win so for sure many are not happy with this game as well.

Just as I thought, it's a trap for early bettors. No Jokic and Gordon although the Nuggets did give the Jazz a difficult time to claim the win. Mike Conley had to work his ass just to win the game. 
2/4 for me. The Nets becoming more of a disappointment whenever they play on the road with Kyrie. They're out of sync and most of the plays are just isolations for Harden and Irving, that's not how I remember them when they are successfully winning games. Rotating the ball became a rare thing for them.

Cheers to all the Grizzlies winners.

A win by OKC against the Dallas, very hard lost for the Dallas, they have a 2 point lead in the last 7 seconds but Luka didn't play defense and there is no Luka magic as he didn't get a shot clock buzzer with 5 seconds. I thought that they had it already after making a comeback in the last 5 minutes of the regular time and then taking the lead. Too bad, I have a bet on them when they are down and it was a good odds, above 3.xx. 

I lost my bet, indeed the Knicks defense on him was pretty much intense on him in the 2nd half, double and triple teaming up on him at some points, he had 15 points int he first half, but could only come up with 8 in the second.

It was nonetheless another impressive performance from the Grizzlies.

Same bet, but with a parlay again with another game.

Grizzlies built a nice lead, about 20 points at one point but at half-time is it about 12.

Ja Morant again showing flashes of his athleticism with a great dunk, but the team built that lead mostly without him. So it's going to be interesting how the game will turn out and hopefully we can win our bet.
