I don't know if I was so sleepy last night that I got my bet wrong or I just really made an error. My bet was supposed to be -3.5 for the T'wolves but with so much luck or because of my mistake I shockingly gained the win. 

Yes it's just -1.5.
Didn't catch any chance to bet for the Warriors because I was looking forward to the Pistons taking the lead on the start while the splash brothers are heating up but none of it happened because the whole game was on the Warriors' side. Cheers to the winners.

Not enough points for the wolves to cover the spread, they only won by 2 points and it was a close match I would say. I hope you also have your bet on the Warriors vs Pistons so you might have it even for the day. Good luck if you have, warriors currently is leading with double digit points.

The story of the game was that dunk by Westbrook on Gobert.  If anyone didn't see that highlight, take a look.  There's mention of it being a candidate for dunk of the year.  Lakers fans have been waiting to see someone amazingly athletic from Westbrook since he came to Los Angeles, so it's nice that he gave them what they've been missing.  Maybe this will be seen as a turn the corner moment for the Lakers and they'll be able to start putting some winning streaks together.  Good they got this win without a couple of their legends also.

Tough loss on the Jazz they did great in the third quarter but the Lakers fought back in the fourth.

I don't like taking high spreads so i'm just gonna roll with the Timberwolves -3.5 @2.03, Knicks beat the Timberwolves in their last meeting but they're currently on a back to back.

Not so many games to pick from today, I would have love to go with Warriors but -15.5 seem rather to high for me to back, I'm sure they should be win against Pistons by double digits with Curry back in the line up, but then 16 points deficit bet doesn't make much sense to me in this situation.


I like the over bet more, both teams can really score points when they play teams with matching energy and approach, but when playing against with slow pace and emphasis on defense, getting over 200 might be a huge stretch.

I'll be sitting the night out, except I find some player props' to be on.

GL!

We only have 2 games later and I will pick the game between New York Knicks and Minnesota Timberwolves.

Still thinking about what should I choose here:

Over 214.5 @ 2.00 - If we look at both teams' total points average, Twoves has 110 PPG while NYK has 104 PGG. Seems they can cover the total. Not just that, if we look also at Timberwolves' last 5 winning games, their total score alone is one of the highest in the league.

Timberwolves -4.5 @ 2.10 - As a reference to what I just mentioned, the last 5 winnings games of Timberwolves are averaging with a 20 points lead. New York Knicks is also inconsistent and if their momentum got wrecked early at the game, no way they can make a rally. I'm sure this can be covered by the Wolves.

Yes, Jazz -4.5 as the initial opening line and I think majority of us beat on that.

Unfortunately for us, the Lakers have enough kick and well rested on this game. And they have a unsung hero in Stanley Johnson.

Just 2 games for tonight.
Knicks vs T'wolves
GSW vs Pistons
I'll take the T'Wolves -3.5 and will go for live betting for the next game. Let the Pistons start the lead if ever they can then grab that handicap of the Warriors minus the lead. Good luck to everyone.

I will bet on one game only and that is the GSW vs Pistons. the opening line is -15.5 and that is huge, but I'm going to take that risk at 1.91. The game is on the GSW home court and we all know that they play great at home and averaging double digits in winning.

I think most of us lost that Jazz bet. That was unexpected for the Lakers roleplayers and it's a positive thing if ever they still want to compete for the playoffs. They need more win to avoid being in the play-in that might be the reason for them to be kicked out because of inconsistency.

Just 2 games for tonight.
Knicks vs T'wolves
GSW vs Pistons
I'll take the T'Wolves -3.5 and will go for live betting for the next game. Let the Pistons start the lead if ever they can then grab that handicap of the Warriors minus the lead. Good luck to everyone.

That's what I also thought, Westbrook is still giving them his performance and contribute to the team but not the way we expect, yet! Still we can't deny the fact that he's still capable on dominating which ever team they're opposing. Westbrook's test will start as the playoffs commence, and wether he will be traded or not will be announced afterwards because Westbrook's worth will be tested atleast this season. Surely the Lakers can't afford to do trades now and start again as it's already too late.

I'm all over Jazz -5.5 as well since the Lakers continue to disappoint and the Jazz looked good against Nuggets, even in a back to back game I don't know how the Lakers would go back to their winning ways.

Also placed a small parlay between Suns and Jazz, the Suns are on a back to back as well but head to head wise they always have the Spurs numbers.

Do you place at bet this? I see that most of your analysis here is only based on Favorites.

What's the status so far of your daily bets? Can't rely on those as these past days, many Favorites are being upset.

My daily stats are not that good this week. Time to keep up and do my best.

Cleveland Cavaliers VS Brooklyn Nets SCORE 114 - 107 - LOST

Memphis Grizzlies VS Chicago Bulls SCORE 119 - 106 - WIN

San Antonio Spurs VS Phoenix Suns NO RESULTS YET

Los Angeles Lakers VS Utah Jazz NO RESULTS YET

Pretty much, it was an intense battle, we can see from their score that Kyrie Irving and James Harden really played well, Kyrie Irving having 7 Reb, 9 Ast, and 27 Pts, and James harden almost getting a triple-double 7 Reb, 10 Ast, and 22 Pts isn't really enough to the team effort of the Cleaveland Cavaliers, we can say that the Cavaliers has rotated their score to the entire team, and teamwork was really essential, but we can not say that the Nets, doesn't have teamwork it is just pretty much shown on the Cavaliers, but pretty much Nets defense is pretty much wide open.

And that pretty slick game from the Memphis Grizzlies, they have devastated the Chicago Bulls on the 2nd and 3rd quarter and on the 4th quarter the Bulls didn't cut the lead because of so much point difference, Ja Morant and Demond Bane have carried this game for the Memphis Grizzlies, and DeMar DeRozan couldn't take the lead of the grizzlies close enough.

Well still waiting for the 2 games to commence, pretty much it will be another great game in my opinion,

Early win for you, Celtics overpower the NO, nothing can be done after that first quarter big lead, but then Celtics comes up and rallies their way to win,

Tatum leads Celtics with their offense while Dennis and Jaylen back him up. It's a poor production from NO after that first half, while with Celtics, they

are sharing the ball well and manage to make a good defense.

Congrats to you!

Coue early games I didn't get to look at but I like 2 games tonight.  I like the Suns away -3.5 against the Spurs.  This seems like a gimme and a trap game but oh well I like the Suns up to 7/8 points.  Then the next game I like the Jazz-4.5 at the Lakers.  Lakers are a disaster right now and until AD comes back I'm loading up against the Lakers.

Good luck tonight everyone.

That's how Celtics do, they are good in comeback especially when playing at home. Good for you, a win is still a win regardless if they have an easy or a tough win.



Halftime score 59-65 in favor of the home team.

Anyone here willing to take a live bet on the Nets ML? Odds is 2.80 and + 4.5 is the spread.

Pretty much I am late with giving my picks but there is my quick picks regarding the games today, highlighted in green are my pick,

Cleveland Cavaliers VS Brooklyn Nets

Right now Kyrie Irving is playing against the Cavaliers and James Harden is doing great,  Stake odds are 1.60 for Cleveland and 2.15 for the Nets well the edge is for the Cavaliers because Kevin Durant can not play, as well as Joe Harris, James Johnson, Paul Millsap, Nicolas Claxton, DeAndre' Bembry are all players that have injuries for the Brooklyn Nets, While Rajon Rondo and Lamar Stevens are the ones that can not play for the Cavaliers, pretty much the Nets is very crucial here, but they are doing great so far, but I am still going with the Nets,

Memphis Grizzlies VS Chicago Bulls

Stake odds 1.27 for the Grizzlies, while 3.70 for the Bulls making Grizzlies the favorite to win, pretty much the Grizzlies doesn't have problems with their main players right now Dillon Brooks has an ankle injury while Killian Tillie and Yves Pons are in health protocol while the Bulls has a problem with injuries,    Lonzo Ball, Zach LaVine, Javonte Green, Tyler Cook, Alex Caruso, Derrick Jones Jr., and Patrick Williams can not play against the Grizzlies, making this a sure Memphis Grizzlies win.

San Antonio Spurs VS Phoenix Suns

Stake odds are 2.36 for the Spurs while 1.62 for the Suns, injuries for the Spurs are Zach Collins and Tre Jones while Suns have Dario Saric, Frank Kaminsky, Abdel Nader, Cameron Johnson, and Deandre Ayton can not play due to injuries, but I still have faith on the Phoenix Suns, their main player are still intact despite Deandre Ayton can not play and they don't have a good center, at the moment, but I still trust the Suns could win this,

Los Angeles Lakers VS Utah Jazz

Utah Jazz is quite performing well so far, and I think they could have a good game against the Lakers Stake odds right now are 2.60 for the Lakers and 1.52 for the Jazz and Anthony Davis, and Kendrick Nunn can not play for the Lakers while Dwight Howard, LeBron James, and Carmelo Anthony are in question if they can play, While Hassan Whiteside, is the only player that can not play for Utah, while Elijah Hughes and Jared Butler are in question if they can play, in my opinion, the Jazz is playing quite good right now and recently they have defeated the Nuggets and this could be another win for them, and I will sure support Jordan Clarkson, a Filipino-American player, and could win this match.

Great win for me in the end, Celtics started in a really awful fashion, and were already down by 15 or thereabout in the 2nd Quarter, they closed the 2nd Quarter a bit better by cutting well into the deficit, so the comeback was somewhat easier in the 2nd half.



Cavaliers are back ahead, and it's a close one, even with Durant on the floor, Nets have been really unreliable in some games, so I wouldn't trust them tonight either.

Waiting for the Jazz/Lakers result now, you already have one win since Celtics already beat the Pelicans with 104-92 final score.

---

They are leading in the first quarter, no Durant but they have Irving and Harden, I think that's already enough to compete and beat the red hot Cavaliers too. I'm just not too confident on the Nets without Durant but let's see if the underdog Nets can win on the road without him.

If they will make a decision to trade Westbrook now, I think it's also a bad idea because the season is almost over, there's not enough time to start building their chemistry again. Give Westbrook at least one season, maybe he will struggle in the regular season only but he will contribute big time in the playoffs, surely the Lakers would be happy with that.

The question is, will the Lakers willing to wait for that time to come? Their season has already been compromised because they weren't playing as expected, they don't seem to look like a championship despite their line up is very impressive on paper.
