You got lucky with the spread you took as the Cavaliers had only won by 6 points. Great 3rd quarter run by the Suns, booker returning without a minute restriction and he was able to contribute 27, as if nothing happened or not coming from injury. When the big 3 are playing great offense, this team will be so dangerous, first time the big 3 scored huge numbers with a great shooting percentage.

Durant 37
Booker 27
Beal 24

Cleveland Cavaliers - Phoenix Suns - Phoenix Suns (-4.5) - Win! That was a wild game. Garland was hot in the first half and scored a lot of outside shots but then Kevin Durant showed who the real assassin is. That was a fun game.
San Antonio Spurs - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors (-2.5) - Win! Wemby tried a run in the 4th quarter but it was short-lived. The dunk from Trayce Jackson-Davis against Wemby is a must-watch.
Chicago Bulls - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks (-3.5) - Win! Like I said, I don't why the spreads are that low.
Denver Nuggets - Toronto Raptors - Denver Nuggets (-12.5) - Loss! The Raptors started great, but the Nuggets ended it better.

7 games later.
Here are my picks.

New York Knicks - Philadelphia 76ers - New York Knicks (-4.5)
Oklahoma City Thunder - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers (7.5) - This is risky but I like the chances of the Pacers to keep the game close. Both teams are fast-paced with their plays so I will take the Over 238.5 also.
Memphis Grizzlies - Washington Wizards - Washington Wizards (-1.5)
Utah Jazz - Boston Celtics - Boston Celtics (-4.5)

Timberwolves versus Clippers - the main event of the evening.

Good luck guys, have a good one.

I got the same bet on the Suns, and your wish is granted since I see Booker confirmed to play in the starting lineup. Let's hope the Cavs don't have a fire shooting day because it's one of the ways they could take this one away from the Suns.



I'm also surprised that you guys still trust the Warriors or maybe it's a trap for the Spurs, as I think they're being underestimated even though they recently beat the Warriors on the road.

Los Angeles Clippers - Milwaukee Bucks - Milwaukee Bucks (-3.5) - Win! Giannis and Damian Lillard combined with 69 points.
Miami Heat - Washington Wizards - Miami Heat (-10.5) - Loss! This was a great game. Wizards showcased their offensive powers. Kyle Kuzma with 32 points. Miami shouldn't have forced that 3 point shot for a win. A 2-point would be okay and try winning it in overtime.
Sacramento Kings - Houston Rockets - Sacramento Kings (-4.5) - Loss!
Atlanta Hawks - New Orleans Pelicans - New Orleans Pelicans (-4.5) - Win! Trey Murphy stepping up his game.
Orlando Magic - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers ML - Win! Yey!
New York Knicks - Philadelphia 76ers - New York Knicks (-5.5) - Loss! Both teams scored 15 points only in the 1st quarter. That's already a sign that it's going to be a bad game. 
3/6.
Here's a bonus for the tiebreaker.


Later, 6 games.
Here are my picks.
Cleveland Cavaliers - Phoenix Suns - Phoenix Suns (-4.5) - Booker is now on probable status. How I wish he could play.
San Antonio Spurs - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors (-2.5) - Draymond and Moody are both probable to play.
Chicago Bulls - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks (-3.5) - Considering how strong the Mavs are, I don't know why it has that low spread.
Denver Nuggets - Toronto Raptors - Denver Nuggets (-12.5) - Expecting another blowout game.

Good luck everyone.

Updated record 33-34 49%)

Dallas -4.5
Luka and Irving going to play at Chicago where the Bulls only have 16-15 home record, so I the Mavericks have a decent chance here.Last game, Dallas beat the Bulls by 9 points at their home court, now playing on the road, I believe they can still get a win here.

Warriors -4.5
With or without Curry, I think the Warriors are in a situation where they need to win, so I trust them to win and avenge their loss.

Cavaliers +5.5
I like their home record, so I'm taking the points. Mitchell is still out and Booker will probably be back, that's why I like the home team.

2-1 my last set of bets so back on the up and up.

Tonight it's 3 more games.

I like the look of the Knicks and playing Philly without embid I see the Knicks taking this one down favored at -7.5.  Next game I like the Pacers +1.5.  Orlando is home and was a tough pick but I think Hali matches up well here and controls the game.  Pacers win by a small margin.  And last game I like kings at home -6.5 against Houston.  Again I like the matchups and think this one is a blowout type game with kings winning by 10-15 points. 

Good luck and enjoy the games!

Good one @stadus.
I missed that game. I thought he was injured at some point in the game. I also added him in my props but I was surprised to see how low his stats are.

I got lucky with the last two games.

That Portland Trail Blazers versus Toronto Raptors was definitely entertaining. The last few minutes of the game became more competitive. Boucher's tip-in to make it to overtime was my lucky charm. If he didn't make that, my two-leg parlay is also gone. 113-113 was the final score in regulation.

Los Angeles Clippers - Chicago Bulls - Los Angeles Clippers (-4.5) - Win!
Detroit Pistons - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks (-5.5) - Win!
Phoenix Suns - Boston Celtics - Boston Celtics (-3.5) - Win!
Golden State Warriors - San Antonio Spurs - Golden State Warriors (-10.5) - Lost! Crappy Warriors without Steph and they are battling a team without Wemby. Pfft.
Denver Nuggets - Utah Jazz - Denver Nuggets (-10.5 - Win! In the last minutes of the game, Jokic came back in as their big lead was being cut slowly. He just made sure they would win it.
4/5 Yeah!

9 games later. They are also too early in my timeline. 3 AM, 6 AM, 7 AM. I may not be able to watch these games. Only the final one.
Here are my picks.

Los Angeles Clippers - Milwaukee Bucks - Milwaukee Bucks (-3.5) - PG13, Harden, and Kawhi are all questionable to play.
Miami Heat - Washington Wizards - Miami Heat (-10.5) - I might take advantage of the props. If Miami will ride an offensive battle against the Wizards then the stats might climb high.
Sacramento Kings - Houston Rockets - Sacramento Kings (-4.5)
Atlanta Hawks - New Orleans Pelicans - New Orleans Pelicans (-4.5) - A healthy Pelicans will be difficult to defeat.
Orlando Magic - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers ML - Risky but when it comes to speed I think the Pacers are better.
New York Knicks - Philadelphia 76ers - New York Knicks (-5.5) - The confidence is high for the Knicks after that win against the Magic. Achiuwa should step up his game again.

Good luck everyone!

Updated record 32-32 (50%)

Clippers +3.5
Bucks are 3-0 in their last 3 games. It's time for the Clippers to end that losing streak and beat the Bucks.
I believe they will win but I'm still trying to stay a little biit safe here with the points.

Miami -11
They are in two losing streak, all losses are from road games. Now they are back at home and hosting a team that is already out in the playoffs, I think they'll be able to win by a big margin here.

Lakers ML
Lakers had a big win vs the Bucks, I think with Lebron probably be back in this game they can beat the Wolves.
^{Lebron and ANT are listed as questionable now, but i have a feeling they'll play.}

∆ C. Cunningham 1+ 3pt / A. Thompson 1+ stock / J. Duren 10+ points @1.57 ∆  X

Even though the Pistons are 10-52, i've been somewhat accurate with their player props all season...now watch me jinx myself by saying that.  Lol

Anyway, i'll start with Jalen Duren...The Mavericks give up the fifth most points to opposing big men (both PF/C) this season, and Duren has seen double-digit points in 5/L5 (18/L20). Dereck Lively II is ruled out for today, leaving only Gafford and Kleber available, both below-average defenders.

Cade has had a nice run of games, averaging 22/8/5 over the last 30 days and hitting at least one 3-pointer in 5/L5 (almost 3 a game at 43% shooting).

The Thompson twin is arguably Detroit's best defender. He may draw a tough matchup against Luka/Kyrie, but i have trust in his skill set, 1+ stocks in 5/L5 (18/L20).

edit; Got to laugh at this shit. Duren barely played any minutes because of the early foul trouble and then he gets ejected for shoving PJ Washington in the 4th. 

Washington Wizards - Charlotte Hornets - Washington Wizards (-1.5) - Win! Wizards dominate them. The 1st win after a long losing streak.
Philadelphia 76ers - New Orleans Pelicans - New Orleans Pelicans (-7.5) Win! A blowout game that turned into a close one in the fourth quarter but the spread was still covered.
Cleveland Cavaliers - Minnesota Timberwolves - Minnesota Timberwolves ML - Antman was playing badly. Maybe the exhaustion has a big effect on him. Bad decision by Rudy Gobert to get the tech when they are up by 1.
New York Knicks - Orlando Magic - Orlando Magic ML - Lost! Josh Hart is crazy. And Precious Achiuwa dominated the rebounding district.
Oklahoma City Thunder - Miami Heat - Miami Heat (10.5) - Win! Miami did not let me down for quite some games. They always cover because they are not to be underestimated especially their bench.

Later, 7 games.
Here are my picks.
Los Angeles Clippers - Chicago Bulls - Los Angeles Clippers (-4.5)
Detroit Pistons - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks (-5.5)
Phoenix Suns - Boston Celtics - Boston Celtics (-3.5)
Golden State Warriors - San Antonio Spurs - Golden State Warriors (-10.5)
Denver Nuggets - Utah Jazz - Denver Nuggets (-10.5

Not many commentaries. Good luck to everyone.

It should have been easily get perfect if D'Lo wasn't cooking. Dude dropped 44 points and he can't miss in the outside only ended missed 3 on the last 12 attempts. He was the key for the big win, without his impressive performance, the Bucks would have easily win and cover the spread. As usual, we already saw how the Lakers melted in the 4th quarter, but this time was different as they have a good run too in order to come back, and win the game.

Tomorrow, I loved the Warriors to win but hopefully Curry will play as he's listed now as questionable. Every game is very important for the Warriors now as they are currently rank number 10 behind the Lakers, and they don't want to dropped lower and miss the play-in.

Updated record 30-31 (49%)

Made 2 wins and had 1 loss in my last pick. Let's hit the winning percentage...

Clippers -7
Bulls are perfect so far on their last 3 road games. I'm fading them against the Clippers who are gonna play their first game at home after some road games.

Suns +5.5
Suns won their last 2 games without Booker, so I'm thinking that I might see the same here but I'm taking the points, +5.5 should be a good value here.

Denver -12.5
There's no doubt how bad the Utah Jazz on the road, so yes to Nuggets for another blowout win.

Couple nights off but last night went 1-2.  Need a couple wins here tonight to right the ship.

Game 1) gimme the cavs -1.5 against the Timberwolves.  Without KAT the duo of Jarret and mobley shoukd be able to handle the center.  Home game and basically a pickem.  Tight game but gimme the cavs.

Game 2) bucks -3.5. In LA and nationally televised game just feels like a dametime 40 point game incoming. Giannis is a lot for that group to handle.  Bucks -3.5 on the road.

And lastly I like Houston-5.5.  This one is more a gut feeling and needed a third game and this one felt the best.  Lol. Probably the only one I win tonight

Enjoy the games!

Results for Yesterday's game I was really frustrated with the result but at least I got 1 I will eventually get a bounce next game.

Detroit Pistons VS Brooklyn Nets - 1st quarter was for the Detroit Pistons but in the 2nd quarter the Brooklyn Nets gut a good momentum to turn the table on them, but still the Detroit Pistons become the winner it was a close match with both teams not really backing down, it was Loonie Walker IV and Dennis Schroders effort that the game was close enough but still the Detroit Pistons somehow got this game a win for them, with Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey was the one that let the Pistons make a win and losing this pick.

Indiana Pacers VS Minnesota Timberwolves - The Timberwolves are so fierce with this game but still the Indiana Pacers didn't allow the Minnesota Timberwolves to likely dominate them it was a very close match with Tyrese Haliburton making plays and Pascal Siakam was cutting the lead of the Timberwolves but still a close game without Karl Anthony Towns but Anthony Edwards was a monster in this team for sure.

Dallas Mavericks VS Miami Heat - Terry Rozier was really cultivating some slick moves while Jimmy Butler was not that active, the 1st half was for the Miami Heat with Rozier lead but the 2nd half was not really for the Heat it was Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving's tandem that they lead the Mavericks in winning against the Miami Heat.

Yup, Chicago's performance is very unpredictable lucky for those risk takers who place bet for the ML, especially against the hot Warriors unfortunately for GSW backers, both handicappers and ML are all lose this bet they unable to bring good shots and plays, Chicago's system managed to take care of the game and like you've said sad to see that Steph got injured as they are really doing well and slowly bringing their standing up, either for playoffs or play-in but every game counts and they needed to keep winning, just assess and analyze again what happened and needs to adjust if whatever they needed as a team.

What a great day. Defense is magnified in 2 games.
1. Sabonis with the steal and dunk to win the game for the Kings against the Spurs.
2. The Timberwolves winning their game through a big-time block by Anthony Edwards. A must-watch highlight.

Detroit Pistons - Brooklyn Nets - Brooklyn Nets (-1.5) - Loss! Crappy Nets, better Pistons.
Indiana Pacers - Minnesota Timberwolves - Indiana Pacers (-1.5) - Loss! No KAT, no problem, Antman did most of the damage.
Dallas Mavericks - Miami Heat - Miami Heat (6.5) - Win! Surprisingly, that is the exact spread needed to win. The Mavs won by 6 points.
Phoenix Suns - Toronto Raptors - Phoenix Suns (-10.5) - Loss! Expected. I just thought Booker will be present.
Sacramento Kings - San Antonio Spurs - Sacramento Kings (-10.5) - Loss! Did not cover the spread. Close game.
Luckily, I won one bet that covered my expenses.

Later, 8 games.
Here are my picks.
Washington Wizards - Charlotte Hornets - Washington Wizards (-1.5) - This could be an offensive game. I am definitely going for the props too.
Philadelphia 76ers - New Orleans Pelicans - New Orleans Pelicans (-7.5) - The max is -10 but I don't want to underestimate the 76ers who are trying hard to win games without Embiid.
Cleveland Cavaliers - Minnesota Timberwolves - Minnesota Timberwolves ML - No Mitchell, Strus, and Mobley. Antman might dominate again.
New York Knicks - Orlando Magic - Orlando Magic ML
Oklahoma City Thunder - Miami Heat - Miami Heat (10.5) - Again? As I said before, I do trust the bench of the Heat and that's their strength when all the stars are resting including their opponents.

Good luck everyone. Have a great weekend.

Unfortunately, the Warriors failed to win against the Bulls. Chicago being tough in their own homecourt.
Steph though suffers a injury in this game, bad news for the Warriors as they are positioning themselves for the playoff or play-in spot. Hopefully nothing serious for Steph and he could go back in the game.

Same here, I thought that the Warriors is going to win as they have been very hot lately, but unexpected things happen and so the Bulls take the win.
Chicago though is unpredictable and it's really hard to put a bet on them, but congrats who take that big risk.

Updated record 28-30 (48%)

Resuming today.

Cavaliers +1
With their impressive home record I'm confident they will win.  Though Mitchell is still out but this squad is capable of winning as they have a good system. The same with the Wolves, no KAT but they are on the road, so I like the home team because of their advantage.

Miami +8.5
They will test the OKC. Last time they met, OKC beat them on the road, now it's their turn to try to win.

Bucks -1
I don't trust the Lakers anymore as they loss in a winnable game, so not with Bucks with Giannis probably playing.

I'm gonna sit this one out. Both teams needs a win here since they are at the number 9 rank, and Bulls have been so competitive recently, if they loss they'll cover. This is a tough call mate, so I have to say good luck. My bet would be the the Kings winning and covering the spread against the Spurs, and the Nuggets winning at home vs the Celtics.

It's all good, these bad beats happen once in a while and it might be the last time i'll be betting on the Wizards.  

---

After the Warriors took care of the Bucks yesterday, i'd expect they'll continue to win again by a decent margin and cover the spread even though they're both playing b2b, the Warriors still have the advantage as they're playing in their home court. The bad part about the Warriors is their tendency to give up too many points, and maybe that's why they're not so hot in covering spreads as a favorite despite being the third-best team in terms of ATS.
