I chose over 200.5. Cleveland Cavaliers is known to go with the flow. If its an offensive team they can score higher than expected and if not they will do the same playing hardcore defense. Knicks is in the middle of that and if they keep up on scoring we might hit this bet. Also a chance for overtime.
Yes, thats the ideal bet for me too. Utah Jazz is not that bad of a team to be overpowered by the Suns. Fatigue might be an issue though but in scoring capability Bogdanovic is still there and so is Clarkson and Conley to fill Mitchell's shoes. Same, +9.5 for Jazz.

I read that Zach Lavine might be back in the Bulls line-up in their game against OKC?

If this news is true, then maybe they can get back at the winning columns because he is already needed because the Bulls has been in a slump recently. DeRozan can't salvage the team by his own, he needed his partner to build the team back again.

Cleveland against the Knicks, I will put my money on Cavs -5.5.

I like the Jazz here after seeing what them play yesterday, they are still a good shooting team even with Donovan Mitchell's absence, It's going to be a different game against the Phoenix Suns for sure but I believe the spread is just about right enough for them to easily cover.

I really don't like any other fixture from today, but I'll be taking the Over 202.5 in the Cavaliers vs New York Knicks, and hopefully it's not just a trap.

Not only we are talking of the spread, Bulls were the favorite but they lost by a huge margin. Tomorrow, we still have the bulls playing again, it's a back to back game, they maybe are tired here so I don't know if they can beat the OKC Thunder, it's still up to you if you are willing to risk.

You're welcome and thank you @Pamadar

I could really say that the Lakers this season is somehow predictable, and the fact that they've lost to a much weaker team make sense that they can't defeat a much stronger and tougher team in the league even if the opposing team also has missing players. Russ was slowly making some play and almost made a triple double but yea it ain't enough as the other players aren't doing their part. But Jimmy Butler on the other hand, made a triple double and as you said with Duncan Robinson who helped securing the win.

Unfortunately, the spread wasn't enough mate because the Magic scored way more than them. Cheer up! There's still lots of games ahead.
Surely, the Bulls was overwhelmed against the Magic today and seriously it was really an unexpected turn that they'll lose to the weakest team in the league this season, it was a blowout with a 19 points difference. Gotta give these Magic roster some credits for the magnificent play today and almost all of them had a double figure score.

We lost, Warriors won but the spread was not covered. If it was only a high scoring game then there's  a chance the spread will be covered. But it's fine, we can bounce back later, though there are only 4 games available but I can choose the best one to cap. With that said, I'm with the Utah Jazz +9.5 and ML.

I was quite surprised at how the Hornets and Bulls lost by this big of a margin.
I think Curry's off-form is a big reason for why GSW are not performing that well in recent times.
Even though Klay has returned, GSW are yet to make an impact on the pitch with the Curry-Klay duo. And the Raptors were able to only manage 34 points in the first 2 quarters where Blazers acquired 64 points. I think that's where they lost the game.

I haven't made any picks on the games today just to take a break but I made a few bets on some games that I think a team would do great,

Charlotte Hornets VS Atlanta Hawks

The Atlanta Hawks were dominant against the Charlotte Hornets, the total field goal was 45.5% while the Hornets have 39.1% 3 pointers is 38.5% for the Hawks while 11.1 for the Hornets, free throws 75.0% and 70.4 for the Hawks, and so much turnover for the Hornets, and Trae Young just did something remarkable by making 30pts for the team and DeÁndre Hunter have 20 solidifying a win against the Hornets,

San Antonio Spurs VS Philadelphia 76ers

the 1st half of the game was for the Philadelphia 76ers, and moving on to the 2nd Half the game was for the San Antonio Spurs but they haven't reached the score until the end, even though the 76ers have a little number of players, Matisse Thybulle, Shake Milton, Seth Curry, and Danny Green can not play Joel Embiid did the incredible plays, making 38 pts and double-doubles even though they have 10 turnovers and Spurs got 8 their percentage with 3 pointers and free throws is remarkable.

Minnesota Timberwolves VS Brooklyn Nets

I could say this was a close game, and even though James Harden makes a double-double digit, and Kyrie Irving has 30 pts it isn't enough for Timberwolves domination when it comes to their field goals, and 3 pointers, but the total factor that I think might be the cause of Nets losing to the Timberwolves are the turnovers Timberwolves has 9 while the Nets have 17 making this a Timberwolves Victory, good thing I didn't make any bets.

Golden State Warriors VS Utah Jazz

Here's a close match and what is remarkable here is Jordan Poole making a sick move on Jordan Clarkson, and Stephen Curry is having a bad day again but that was pretty much secure because of Jordan Poole if Bojan Bogdanovic didn't miss the Utah Jazz could win this, and if that tip enters it could be an over time pretty much the Golden State Warriors is just lucky winning this game,

Thanks for that reference and yes, you did a great job betting with the Heat even with that handicap,

Fully covered as how you said it, Robinson and Butler lead them with their offense just noticed that Herro and Lowry are not there
but still even with shallow rotations, Heat manages to win this one from the Lakers.

LeBron and Russ try to do their best, but the other role players are not. They can't carry the game if your opponent is there competing
much harder than what you are doing..

Lakers head coach Frank Vogel said Davis (knee) won't be available for Sunday's game against the Heat.

I also read about this and that's why I'm quite confident about my bet on Mia @ -2 , AD's knee is still questionable and certainly can't play against the Heats today. Good thing I did bet on Miami Heat, LAL is just 6 points shy and that's enough to cover the -2 spread on the Heat.

As for the Warriors against the Jazz, I did let it slide for now as the GSW now is quite unpredictable and inconsistent since KT returned.

It's crazy night for some match ups to be honest, Hornets and Bulls losing by over and about 20 points respectively was the highlight of the night imo.

Warriors were still pretty underperforming, and Curry with what probably was his worse game in several years, he made just 1/13 from 3 Pts, and most of which were uncontested attempts or attempts in which he had decent look.

I was able to get even with my bet on the Raptors. Raptors were utterly awful in the 1st and 2nd Quarter, but had a really decent recent in the 3rd and 4th,  I'm sure there was much time still available for the could have forced OT or better still complete the comeback.

We should always have that kind of mentality, get back tomorrow if we lose today. Yes, lots of unexpected wins today, who would expect the Nets would lose to the TWolves, I also expected them to win since I believe Harden and Irving are enough to lead the team, unfortunately, Harden wasn't so effective in this game, he only scored 13 points from a poor 4-13 shooting.

The heck just happened. I didn't win anything. Warriors didn't cover the spread. Trail Blazers upset the Raptors. The Hawks upset the Hornets big time.
James and Westbrook combined 57 points but not enough to win against an undermanned Miami Heat. Usually, when WB has stats of a triple-double or almost, he wins games but not today.
T'Wolves also won versus the Brooklyn Nets. Wow, a huge turn of events. I guess I'll just get it back tomorrow. Cheers!

Bulls lost again and it was a bad lost to Magic. Not sure if anyone has bet on the Magic before last time I check they are the underdog in this game.

I have the Bulls -4.5 to win, so it's another tough loss for me. And I'm sure majority here bet on the Bulls to end their losing streak against a not so good team such as Orlando.

They got to double digits at the end of the third quarter but then OKC went on a small run at the start of the fourth quarter and that was enough to hold them within 7 points.  

So many games to choose from but i'll go with the Hornets -2.5, they're putting up good results and beating solid teams, the Hawks are also racking up some wins recently but I think their streak ends today as they're struggling on the road.

The Toronto Raptors are currently being torn apart by Trail Blazers with a 30 points lead at halftime, I actually have the Blazers on +7.5 and that's because I felt the Raptors could have a hard time, which I guessed right. It will take more than a miracle for the Raptors to get a W here, as the Blazers just seemed to be making all the right calls and plays.

I'll be following the consensus here on the Warriors vs Jazz, I'm taking the Warriors -4.5 @ 1.892 Odds.

GL everyone!

Well, that is a good question, I don't know if Lebron James could take on the Nets if James Harden could fire up and Kyrie Irving is pretty much blending in and can make some power play on their own, and Kevin Durant could be back on February 24, but before that Brooklyn Nets match-up they are facing against his previous team Miami Heat first and Miami Heat is racking up winnings but right now Miami Heat is facing problems with injuries, and Covid-19 making Tyler Herro, KZ Okpala, Markieff Morris, P.J. Tucker, P.J. Tucker, and Victor Oladipo can not play against the Los Angeles Lakers, if they could win this then that would be the time they can play against the Brooklyn Nets, and I think this is a hard and close match of the Lakers and Lebron James.

I think the status is still questionable until now.

However, if Davis would really play, I still think it would not easily make the Lakers better as he was absent for 16 games and he has to re adjust again, and coming from injury, I don't expect him to show his full potential yet, he might only play with limited minutes also.

News also spreading that AD's comeback is still questionable.

If he's back, the spread and ML will be change a lot, he's a game changer. The presence of a two-way player is very important
considering that he's one of the stars of this team.

I check this game during the live telecast, it's tough to bet as early as now, we never know yet if AD will be present or not.
