Shai came out strong and even though okc lost they covered.  Cleveland d held strong but couldn't get their offense going.  Tonight I like 2 games.  Taking sixers -1.5 on the road against San Antonio.  SA doesn't have anyone who can stop embid.  He should wreck this game.  And then I like golden state -5 at home against the Jazz.  Jazz have a couple important players out and gs gets draymond back which is huge.

We'll see what would be the spread on Wednesday, but for tomorrow, the game is LA Lakers vs Miami Heat and the spread is +/-2
The Miami Heat have lost against the Hawks, a much weaker team with a .444 percent play but we can't also the deny that the Lakers is also struggling and they have a much weaker defense than the Heat. So, my bet would be MIA @ -2

^Thank you stadus. Same pick for me with Golden State Warriors -5.5. Utah Jazz is in bad shape for now without the Spider and they even lost against the Rockets a couple of games ago. And to add to that problem are Gobert and Bogdanovic as questionable for the game.

11 games for later. I'll throw one more for the Toronto Raptors -7.5 versus Portland Trail Blazers.
How about the Lakers? Anyone who thinks they might snatch a win against the undermanned Miami Heat? No Lowry, Herro, and Tucker is questionable.
I think I'll give it a chance despite losing a lot of my bets for them. Lakers ML.

My early pick.

Utah Jazz vs Golden State Warriors.

I'm leaning on the warriors here, though they have some struggle in their last game I think their home record is good enough for me to be convinced to back the Warriors.

Michell is out, so it will be a fair match as the Warriors have no Green.

They didn't cover the spread, it was only a 10 point win. I think that spread was to high considering the Pacers are doing well in their past games, but that's it, have to accept and move on, maybe next time they'll dominate their opponent and would easily cover the spread.

How I wish Devin Booker made that windmill dunk for my win to be secured. But he was really on a bad night with just 11 points. Most of his shots just won't get in. It happens to shooters, so it's okay. Chris Paul though made my day complete.

That bet for Jae Crowder. Oh, unlucky. He was hurt in the third quarter and just ran quickly to the locker room. I wish it's just a minor injury. Just 1 more steal or block could've perfected my player props.
Biyombo and McGee both have a double-double. Great contribution while Ayton is out.

Only way I see okc in this game is if Shai keeps them in it.  But okc has no one that can cover the amount of bigs that the cavs have.  This is a perfect mismatch and at home.  Expecting a blowout with okc struggling to even get to 90 tonight.  Fingers crossed

Taking the best team in the league when it comes to covering spreads which is Cavs -11.5, OKC lost by double digits in their last two games and the trend should continue as they're on a back to back game plus the Cavs are looking to bounce back after their tough loss against the Bulls. Last time the OKC went on a back to back game on the road they lost by 18 points against the Suns. Not touching the Suns for now since the Pacers manage to put up good fight against the Warriors.

Last night was an easy bet on the Lakers only giving 5 to the magic.  Magic and very young and very awful.  Tonight I like the cavs at home giving 12 points.  Lots of points but I think they control the game from the tip and the bigs win out tonight.  Good luck everyone!

Well, if the spread is only -5.5, I think I will go with the Nets, but if it's -10.5, then most likely I'm with the Lakers. I think the Nets will be able to dominate the Lakers as they are messing up with their rotation, however, the odds are very tempting so I might get tempted to just bet on the Lakers.

Great choice, can't trust them with their inconsistency.

I wonder hight they'll handle the Nets on their next game.
I'm pretty sure Lebron alone could not win against a talented Nets team, even without Durant, they cannot beat the Nets especially on the road.

Time to fade the team against a strong team.

I know it is all because of Stephen Curry, Carrying the team and particularly I think he is out of his slump, and yes the team with Curry doesn't really sink too well, We got Andrew Wiggins, Otto Porter Jr, Jordan Poole, and Jonathan Kuminga and Curry can sure use these 4 players as he is right now, but I think the Golden State Warriors play is just as good as it gets, the Houston Rockets is just playing as good as they are tonight, I haven't made my bet for them because I don't really want to risk it this time,


I think the Golden State Warriors dominance will be back when Draymond Green and James Wiseman would be back in February right now Gary Payton II, Klay Thompson, and Andre Iguodala is back for the next game, and Stephen Curry is out from his Shooting Slump, and yeah I agree they will start racking up wins again, and when Draymond Green returns that could be a different Warriors that we might see and this could be a scary scenario for the other teams,


I didn't bet for the Los Angeles Lakers aswell, they are unpredictable aswell and they are having trouble with their coach and the management, if it's not for Lebron James and the many turnovers the Magic did they could not win this match.

3 games. 3 of them are hard underdogs. Most of the handicaps are 10+ to gain a good win.
My early pick will be for the Phoenix Suns -11.5 versus the Indiana Pacers.
Sure, the Pacers shocked us by winning against GSW but this is Phoenix Suns with Chris Paul who controls the ball. GSW lost because of turnovers and last time I checked CP3 didn't have any turnover for the last couple of games against Spurs and Mavericks. I think they can overpower them with LeVert and Brogdon still questionable to play.

I'm glad Lakers eventually did cover the spread and I won my bet, despite being behind at halftime the rally in the 3rd Quarter was determining factor.

Warriors were terrible last night again, they were barely able to win with Curry's buzzer-beating shot, after some good run in the final minutes of the game, a game where they double digits favorite.
Warriors next game is against the Utah Jazz, I'm curious to see what the line/odds would open at.

I didn't touch that game, I knew that the Lakers are too unpredictable and they won here after two consecutive losses I believe. Next game I'll be taking the Lakers, it's nice to back them after a win as sometimes they'll get some little win streak.

They need some time to make an adjustment, I think this game KT did not play, and yet they could not dominate the Rockets. Curry is still the leader of the team, despite he struggles in his past games that resulted in a loss of the Warriors, but it's been a great win by the Warriors here and I think they'll start winning again.

How about the Lakers, did anyone bet on them last night?

Let's lay low a bit on betting the Warriors, they cannot be trusted these days, it started with KT back in the lineup, their chemistry has been change. They won the game but it was a close one, if not because of Curry's game-winning shot, that game could have went to OT and they might lose again.

Orlando Magic VS Los Angeles Lakers SCORE 105 - 116 - LOST


Philadelphia 76ers VS Los Angeles Clippers SCORE 101 - 102 - WIN


San Antonio Spurs VS Brooklyn Nets SCORE 102 - 117 - LOST


Golden State Warriors VS Houston Rockets SCORE - 105 - 103 - WIN

I was really OK with the results, but I haven't put my bet on the Magic VS Lakers and Warriors VS Rockets just to be safe and uncertainly on who's going to win, anyway, the Magic VS Lakers, pretty much Lebron James have shone so bright and Russel Westbrook is 3 more point to his assist to be a triple-double,
and the Los Angeles Lakers were pretty dominant with the stats, they have the most percentage on the field goal, 3 pointers, and free throws and with the total rebounds and importantly the steals it really was a great game but I haven't made but bet on this game.

Despite their issue with their number of players for the 76ers Joel Embiid was a monster landing 13 Rebound, 6 Assist, and 40 Pts. and makes them a close win over the Clippers, I surely thought that the Clippers may win this because of issue's pertaining the 76ers players, but yeah turnover for the Clippers is 10 while the Beach is at 7,

Despite not having Kevin Durant, James Harden explodes and give the Nets a triple-double performance by giving 10 Rebounds 11 assist, and 37 Points and Kyrie Irving with 24 points pretty much I have gone for the Spurs winning but that performance from James Harden, was truly remarkable,

and the Golden State close game with the Houston Rockets,

That's another 2nd half run that brought that win for the warriors. They are still struggling, but doing their best.

You said it right that handicap is too wide for them, they almost lose this game Houston fought well but are unable to secure
the game, it was a rally in the final quarter that give the win for the Warriors.

Congrats for picking the handicap side, you won!

Well, actually the Warriors have won the game, and on the same note, you also won the game mate! The Rockets was just 2 points behind the GSW and surely that +11.5 spread was more than wide enough to cover it. That said, the GSW was really struggling in the 1st half of the game and seems they're still finding the correct rhythm and managed to seal the game safely in their side.
