I'm just going to stick with the New York Knicks -4.5 vs OKC Thunder, and Miami Heat -3.5 vs Houston Rockets, I really don't trust the Lakers or Dallas Mavericks, those could have been my 2nd choices.

GL Everyone... Wish you all a splendid year ahead!

For me these two matches are risky bets just because both teams are playing in an away game. Mostly in NBA that dosent mean much but Knicks are mostly a home team and are usually winning with the influence of the crowd but both teams are playing against really weak teams.

I'm also taking the spread on Miami since they're doing pretty well regardless of the injuries, but we have to be cautious with our stakes since the Rockets could still pose a threat as most of their wins come from home matches (7-8).

The Cavs game is tempting to bet on but for some reason, I feel like they'll continue to regress so I switched my pick to Miami. Best of luck on everyone's pick.

Nice choice, two favorites playing on the road this new year, good luck too.

The first game has already been concluded, Boston ( the underdog) beating the Phoenix Suns here, a nice start for the Boston but a bad bet for those who back the Suns on the road. The next game (currently live) is the bulls, let's see if they'll get this Win.

Bulls vs Pacers, Chicago is hot, DeRozan and Lavine are the best duo we have right now, while the Pacers are somewhat is crumbling as a team, even losing at home recently as betting favourite.

I will choose the Bulls here, they are only -4.5 against the Pacers, and based on their past games, they really played well and win together as a team, so I think even if the Pacers has the home court advantage, the better team will still win which is the bulls.

Bulls are on a 5 winning streak with 5 points as their lowest wins, but looking at their last 3 games, they really are dominating their opponents.

Right, and what is more exciting is that in the first 2 quarters it was really very close and you think that their opponents have a good chance to play an upset against them.

But then when DeRozan started to hit that jumpers, which is a beauty to watch and then Zach Lavine playing his usual clutch three points, it will be over in the fourth quarter. So I'm also backing the Bulls and it will be good to put them in a parlay too.

Same here, I think it's not a good idea to bet against the Bulls now that they are complete and healthy, and based on their previous games, they showed that they are worthy of a playoff spot and a shot to the NBA Finals. The big 3 are playing, it's all that matters and although Pacers has a good home record, it's not enough for the Bulls who are in serious business to win, so yeah, let's bet.

That loss on the Cavs stings after seeing them go up by 20+ points in the first quarter, anyway I got the Bulls -7.5 @1.95 as they'll face the Hawks once more but this time they'll be playing on their home court. The Hawks are 4-1 in their last 5 road games but still, they have a lot of missing players. I doubt they have what it takes to keep up with the Bulls' firepower, expecting a double-digit win at the very least.

I also went for this 3 team parlay as a side bet Bulls, Knicks and Jazz all to win @2.16 all three have good form while their opponents are in a losing streak.

The Knicks game is a lock.  Detroit has about 2 or 3 players from their regular rotation.  They have a bunch of dudes from the g league playing tonight.  Detroit coach equated yesterday's practice like the first day of training camp, and this is from a terrible team to begin with.  If the Knicks lose tonight they should just lay it down for the year lol.

The Knicks game being a lock ..still scares me  Cheesy  Man what is the deal with Knicks, I just don't get it.  In the beginning of the year they looked poised to continue their strong play after last year having such a nice season.  When they played my Bulls the first time around they looked extremely efficient but now they look like a whole other team.  Whats going on exactly?  At least Kemba Walker is starting to play pretty well.

Yeah they had an awful 3rd quarter.  Think they were 1-10 shooting at one point.  But the went on a 17-0 run from the third and 4th quarter.  Burks saved their game rocking in with 34 points in like 25 minutes of play.  Funny thing is the Knicks 2nd team is awesome, their starting 5 struggle to score at times.  I thought they were going to build on last year too but it looks like they are a piece or 2 short.  Waiting to see what they do during the trade deadline.

Yeah it’s confusing as all hell to me. It’s like one minute Derrick Rose or Kemba Walker looks like the best players on the planet the next they’re getting pulled from the lineup. At this point I guess you have to wonder how much of the blame goes toward Thibs. I love the guy, but he’s gotta do a better job.

I'm thinking of putting a bet on the early game tomorrow.

2 games that I think are too early in my timezone but I'll probably watch this game since I'm waiting for the new year and with some celebration, I'll definitely be awake.

The games I'm talking about are the Suns vs Boston, and Bulls vs Pacers. 
I'll back the road teams here individually (single bet) and will do a parlay as well.

So Suns ML or handicap? they are the favourite to win against the Celtics though so I guess it's a good choice already. Current line is -4.5 as handicap, I think the Suns can cover it too.

Bulls vs Pacers, Chicago is hot, DeRozan and Lavine are the best duo we have right now, while the Pacers are somewhat is crumbling as a team, even losing at home recently as betting favourite.

I like your pick but I'm not comfortable making a parlay of these two games, maybe I will just pick one to bet on and I like the Suns to beat the Boston as the Suns are pretty much consistent and they start winning again, hoping to see another long win streak on this team.

^Yes bro it was postponed.  Cry I was expecting a good game to watch before New Year's Eve so I ended up watching the Nets vs 76ers. The end part was fun with Embiid and Durant roasting each other. The scar just won't heal on these two great players just yet.

I have a good amount of wins though, thanks to Giannis Antetokounmpo player props. Sadly, there's no parlay for the same bets at Stake.com just yet so it all ended as single bets.


Wow, nice win! An early celebration for this upcoming New year Grin

More additional beers and more party until tomorrow, great catch and congrats to you @dan and to all those who won their picks
enjoy the night and keep safe!

A lot of games tomorrow for those who losses their picks, you can always have the chance to recover...

Denver Nuggets VS Golden State Warriors POSTPONED

Well due to the postponement of the Denver Nuggets VS Golden State Warriors I was kind of sad but still OK with it, well due to Covid-19 the Denver Nuggets don't have the league-required eight players needed to play the game, even their Coach, Michael Malone, Players Jeff Green, Zeke Nnaji, Nah'Shon Hyland have entered the NBA Covid Protocol and a bunch of players that have an injury, it was sad to not see the Golden State Warriors play a game before the New Year's Eve, but yeah a two-win pick is not bad but I haven't bet on my first pick because it is not going to be profitable, in the Nets VS 76ers game even with the combine powers of Kevin Durant and James Harden with Harden having a triple-doubles was outperformed by Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, and Seth Curry, still Happy New Year to all.

The biggest game last night which is the Warriors vs Nuggets was postponed. Too bad I would miss watching the revenge of the Warriors but it's okay, I'm sure they'll win next time.



@danherbias07 , good way of ending the year, nice win you got there, even with few games, you still manage you win more games. I like to follow your picks tomorrow, please if you can post a few.

^^ Congrats @danherbias07 and Happy New Year to Everyone.

Wasn't able to bet on the last couple of days, been busy with the holidays. In any case though, I was looking for the Nuggets vs Warriors game to at least watch replays and I was disappointed to see that it can cancelled. Was excited to see Curry getting his revenge against the Nuggets.

I'll be taking Utah Jazz -6.5 vs Blazers, Blazers are on a two game losing streak, and I believe it become three tonight, McCollumn, Nurkic and Covington would still out for the Blazers and I don't think just Lillard can carry them against Utah Jazz.

Same here, I think Jazz are too much against Lillard as Mitchell alone can already match Lillard plus Jazz have more supporting cast that could also generate points. I hope Mitchell will play though as he is listed as "Ques Wed - Back"... but even without him there's Clarkson and Conley who can still take over.

Congratulations we won our bets!

Not too many games to select from tonight, but I like the Denver Nuggets vs Warriors matchup, Warriors will be without a couple of players including Draymond Green, but I believe Curry us capable of leading the team and I'd take the Warriors -5.5

I've been looking at this game and was gon a stay away but more and more I'm leaning towards golden state at -5.5.  I might just take the money line and gs though as I think this will be a tight game.  Think I'm gonna take the Bucks-14 as well.  Almost the entire starting squad for Orlando is out.  This one should be a blowout.

The game between Nuggets and Warriors have been postponed, as it's been said the Nuggets don't the minimum amount of players to play the game.

The Warriors' game vs. the Denver Nuggets at Ball Arena has been postponed, the NBA announced Thursday hours before tip-off as the Nuggets don't have the league-required eight players needed to play the game.

I've decided to bet on the Brooklyn Nets ML live @ 2.08, They're currently trailing the 76ers by 11 points, but it's still early in the 2nd quarter.

I don't like the slate of games today, but i'll go for a small bet on the Nets -5.5, even though the Sixers nearly have a complete roster, their last match against a short-handed Raptors team still ended up being close. With that said I think the Nets will easily cover the line, but on the other hand it's a matter of time until the Sixers regain their old form go back to their winning ways.

I'll tail you with the Warriors bet,  as I believed that Curry will not allow himself to have a shooting slump early on and let the Nuggets build a huge lead and them trying to catch up again as it is very hard.

At least stay with the Nuggets throughout and then just go in the 3rd quarter which they usually do. Everyone needs to step as well, Wiggins, JTA, Porter.
