Shit happens bro, if you could have just beat on them ML but for sure the odds are going to be reduce and I understand that you are always looking for a good odds.

Another good game is the Clippers vs Nets, Clippers a great underdog and was able to come up big at the road and dealt Durant and Harden a big loss. I never thought that they are going to win against the Nets, but lately we have seen a lot of upsets so this is one of those games.

Sorry mate, the Warriors dominated and defeated the Jazz today opposite to your expectations. I mean, it's somehow expected that the Warriors will eventually bounced back after their defeat against the Nuggets (for the record, it was just a 3 points difference).
I thought that the Jazz would really recover til the end after they made a 19-points lead at the end of 3rd quarter because of the impressive play of Gobert and Clarkson but the Warriors answered back on the 4th quarter and settled the game to their favor. 

Yeah, too bad Bulls couldn't cover the spread.

I was able to get even with the Warriors ML and I was able to make the most of one of my freebets on SportsBet with a betbuilder on the Bulls

Bro, sorry about that. It's a hit for the Bucks but the Bulls won it with a buzzer-beater from Demar and the lead is only 1.

Utah Jazz on the other hand cannot handle Steph Curry. GSW problem might be the rebounding and inside defense but Jazz has bigger problems because up until now Gobert is not going up whenever a screen is happening which leads to a lot of room for Steph to shoot his killer threes. 6/12 for Steph on 3 point line.

Cheer to all the winners.

I have a parlay on Bucks -10.5 + Bulls -1.5.

The Bucks won over against the Pelican, Bulls won but didn't cover that handicap though, so another big disappointment loss for me at the start of the year.

Nevertheless, there's a lot of basketball games so I will just take it easy for now.

Gobert is the best it comes to rebound he jumps so high so it's a big advantage to him against the rebounder/centers of his opponent's team.
But you are right as you said that Draymond Green is a smart player he can adjust his play if he guarded taller than him it's then it's okay cause he can still get points by his strategy. And by the support of his teammates, they can win against the jazz I think. The point guards of the warriors are so great that can make a play even if they are in hard situations.

I'm taking the Jazz -4.5 since the Warriors looked a bit off against the Nuggets, they trailed as much as 20points in the first half then came back to tie the game in the 4th quarter but still not enough for a win. On the other hand, you have the Jazz playing on a back-to-back, but still have most of their key players. It's tough to go against one of the best teams in the league but i'll gladly take my chances knowing they're missing one of their starting player.

I'll be joining the Bulls bandwagon tonight, I really do fancy the matchup and everything about the odds, The Bulls are missing a few players Caruso, and Ball most noticeably but I still believe they'll win the game.

I'll be putting a small buck on the line for the Warriors to win against Utah Jazz as well, I'd have love both teams to have a healthy roster to make the game more interesting.

Quick Picks for today's game

Milwaukee Buck VS New Orleans Pelicans

Right now Stake odds are 1.12 for the Bucks and 6.80 for the Pelicans for me, not a profitable match to bet, and for now, there are 3 players for the Bucks that are unable to play Brook Lopez with a back injury, Semi Ojeleye Covid-19 and Khris Middleton with personal reasons, with the Pelicans Jonas Valanciunas is in Covid-19 health protocol, Josh Hart and Brandon Ingram questionable if they can play, for this two teams I really liked the Milwaukee Bucks, I will not bet but my pick was the Milwaukee Bucks.  

Brooklyn Nets VS Los Angeles Clippers

Stake odds 1.10 for the Nets and 7.40 for the Clippers another Bet that you would want to stay away from because it is not profitable, for the Nets even though Kyrie Irving and Joe Harris can not play Nets is at 100% top shape against the Clippers, and in the Clippers sides they are having trouble with their players right now Paul George Unable to play until January 15, Nicolas Batum and Ivica Zubac, for me I will not bet but my pick was Brooklyn Nets

Houston Rockets VS Denver Nuggets

Stake odds 3.40 For the Rockets and 1.34 for the Nuggets last time the Nuggets doesn't have the required number of players to play against the Golden State Warriors but this time I think now they have but the Rockets Kevin Porter, Jalen Green, Eric Gordon, and Alperen Sengun are questionable if they can play for me even though Nuggets got a limited number of players I would go with the Denver Nuggets, winning against the Rockets.

Utah Jazz VS Golden State Warriors

Stake Odds 1.53 for the Jazz and 2.60 for the Warriors, right now the Jazz are making a great record and this is the 1st time these 2 teams have played this season, so I guess this is going to be a good game, in question to play for the Jazz are Eric Paschall and Hassan Whiteside, while Warriors Draymond Green will be out until January 3 I think Damion Lee is in question if he can play because of Covid-19 but we will see and for this match up I am a Warriors fan so my pick will be for the Golden State Warriors.

Draymond Green can't compete with Gobert in the rebounding department, he is too short. However, with him in the court, the flow of offense is much better because he is very smart, he does play good defense and great facilitation of the bull, so without him is really a problem for the Warriors but this is not the first time Green missed some games, so the Warriors still has a chance to beat the Jazz.

Seems interesting, I do see that same problem with Gobert, but maybe Bjelica will step up and help the team inside.

While Steph and the rest of the guys will compete outside, the system for GSW will remain the same with or without Green role players
are aware of how they need to help each time they've got the chance playing inside.

Not going to bet now but will try to check during live game. I'm with you with GSW.. Best of Luck!

Thank you. I did put all my profits for the beers and enjoyed New Year's Eve. More win for us this 2022.

Back to my early picks after a 1-day rest. I selected two games for now but I might do live picks before the other games starts.
Milwaukee Bucks versus New Orleans Pelicans - Bucks -10.5 Khris Middleton out so I am putting some bets for Giannis player props since they will rely on him for the offensive contribution.

Utah Jazz versus Golden State Warriors - GSW +4.5 Their main problem here is the rebounding part, I hope Coach Steve Kerr already has a plan on stopping Gobert even without Draymond Green.

I would think the same about Bulls. It's simply not the time to bet against them but it's also not the time to trust them to make the cover so simply ML on Bulls should be a wise choice. But can anything be a wise choice in the current NBA ? I mean , this young players are really the next step of NBA and NBA officials are scared to admit it. I think this is the first year of changing generations into NBA and it was about time.

+4.5 will be a good bet in my opinion. The Warriors are going to visit the Jazz here, and they are going to miss the services of Draymond Green.

As for the Jazz, not sure if Mitchell are going to play. But it was listed that Conley and Joe Ingles are listed as day-to-day.

So this is a tough call, but I will be going +4.5 on Warriors.

Bad bet here,  and though Bulls won but they failed to cover the spread, it's a total wrecked because I also have a parlay on these two teams. Anyway, gotta bounce back real quick as we have more games coming. Still like the Bulls despite failing me last night, so Bulls -2.5 against the Wizards.

This  Golden State vs Utah game as well but I have a little doubt because the Warriors are +5.5, so maybe some players are out again.

Exactly, each one of us has our own perception of a certain game and we have this kind of feeling that we have to be convinced with our pick before we make a final decision to bet. We should be confident with our pick as road team and home team are the say, they have a chance of winning and odds being showed might be overvalued or undervalued.

I had to settle for 1/2, fair enough imo, I understand your points with betting on the road teams, but I suppose being on the is always part of the determinant factors with the Odds and Line are drawn, so more often than not, If I have believe on a team and I feel confident with the lines/odds I don't usually care if they are at home or on the road.

Last game they didn't cover the spread but this time, I think -2.5 is even better so I'm with you here. I hope they are not tired yet and all the starters will play. DeRozan dropped 28 points against the Pacers, I'm sure he cannot score below 20 points so let's get this win.

And just like that SGA is back and score 23 points for the Thunder.

Miami Heat as Butler goes for 37, won over the Rockets by 10 points. So they have covered by spread with plenty of points to spare.

Again, was not able to bet in tonight's game, celebrated New Year early. Lol.

Hot streaking Bulls vs Wizards - I'm taking the Bulls even away from home, -2.5.

Good for your bet, switching to Miami is a good decision.

The trio of Butler, Herro and Lowry is good enough to cover the handicap, especially Butler, who really makes his present noticed

by the Thunders, 37 points in just 35 mins is enough to lift the Heat and to win this game.

Have a good start this year, Congrats to you!
