Got the result of my picks and looking at them it is an obvious reason why I made picks like this, I was surprised by my last pick even though the Atlanta Hawks were the favorite to win the Utah Jazz made it possible to win this one, here is the result of my picks for today's game.

Detroit Pistons vs. Miami Heat - WIN

Miami Heat [1.30] - It was a great game but the Miami Heat got to the top in the 3rd quarter and the Detroit Pistons didn't know what to do in that part of the game but Bam Adebayo together with both Terry Rozier and Celeb Martin they have brought down the Detroit Pistons I have seen that the Miami Heat have surely can do this and they did.

Toronto Raptors vs. Orlando Magic - WIN

Orlando Magic [1.29] - The Orlando Magic have gotten a good momentum in the 2nd half even though the Toronto Raptors got a great start the Orlando Magic have gotten a great job, Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero have done a great job in creating an opening for the Magic to win, and it was a great bet for me.
 
New Orleans Pelicans vs. LA Clippers - WIN

New Orleans Pelicans [1.34] - Even though Paul George and Kawhi Leonard have played in this game they were short on steam as the Pelicans busted them open with Zion Williamson taking the opening inside the paint another win for me in this pick.

Utah Jazz vs. Atlanta Hawks - WIN

Utah Jazz [2.20] - While even though the odds were for the Atlanta Hawks not having their main roster was pretty much hard for them to face an almost complete team of the Jazz, even without Clarkson and Markkenen on the team, Collin Sexton John Collins and Keyonte George was pulverizing the Hawks.

Updated record 36-37 49%)

Betting early for the upcoming games.

1-Knicks +3 -- Line are too good for the Kings, so this could be a trap. Knicks could win here SU or cover the spread if the game is very close, but I have a feeling that Kings will be playing catch up here.

2-Lakers -3.5 - I like these two teams in the playoffs but I like the Lakers more in this spot since they are playing at home with 25-11 record.

3-  Cavaliers -6 - Backing the cavaliers consistently again, Mitchell is back so it should be an easy win and cover as well.
Also the last 3 games between the two,  it's cavs with 3-0 record.

Very true, Jalen Brown is a glass cannon. He is unstoppable of he have the momentum of the game but very useless whenever he doesn’t have the accuracy. This is the reason why Boston never manage to win the championship because Brown is not consistent on supporting Tatum on scoring. There’s always a time that he is completely shut down on the series of their match.

But for betting purposes, he is still good on betting with +points because he has a high chance of effectiveness on regular season.

Sadly I woke up late and missed your picks. I could have tailed with the Suns, Orlando, and Pelicans as I would assume it's just a typo error since they are -8.5 but I think they opened at -6.5... Pelicans win the game but only by 8 points, so that bet didn't cover.  Still good picks though, 2 out of 3 though you didn't push through the Orlando Magic but overall that was a good call.

Yeah was a good night gold someone else won off these picks too.  The Bucks and knicks game literally came down to the last shot.  Amazing how close the odds makers get so close.  Either way I will post my 3 picks tonight:

Pelicans +8.5 at home against the Clippers.  2nd night of a back to back for the Clippers. They might sneak out a win but shoukd be a tight game

Suns -10.5 against Charlotte.  Suns are gonna start tightening the screws on conference position this is a must easy win. 

Last one I like is orlando but I'm laying off this game...rj barretts kid brother just died and you never know the emotion of the game when things like this happen.  Gonna watch but if I had to pick I'd lay down on orlando

Good luck everyone and enjoy the games.

Thank you @wheelz1200  for your perfect pick, you got all 3 but I only followed 2 of your picks, still I'm at 100% win rate at that day. Looking forward for the upcoming games, maybe if you have another picks there, I like to follow until you start losing. 

wheelz1200  by the way ladies and gentlemen was 3-0 last night, he got Knicks -11.5 which I didn't tail.

Busy at work but I will make a pick right now for today's game.

Detroit Pistons vs. Miami Heat

Miami Heat [1.30] - In this game, Kevin Love and Tyler Herro can not play this game while Bam Adebayo has given a limited time to play for the Miami Heat, and Quentin Grimes and Ausar Thompson can not play for the Detroit Pistons, for this game, I like the Miami Heat odds in winning even though Bam Adebayo has a limited time playing I think they can manage a win against the Pistons so the Miami Heat is my pick.

Toronto Raptors vs. Orlando Magic

Orlando Magic [1.29] - The Orlando Magic doesn't have any injuries while the Toronto Raptors have D.J. Carton, RJ Barrett, Chris Boucher, Jakob Poeltl, and Scottie Barnes can not play for this game, so for this game, I think that the Orlando Magic has a huge chance in winning this so the Orlando Magic is my pick.

New Orleans Pelicans vs. LA Clippers

New Orleans Pelicans [1.34] - right now Dyson Daniels can not play for the Pelicans while Russell Westbrook can not play for this game and James Harden has limited time for the Los Angeles Clippers for this game I really think that the Clippers will be needing Harden as the New Orleans had a lost last game so in this game I think that the New Orleans will win this so my picks are the New Orleans Pelicans.

Utah Jazz vs. Atlanta Hawks

Utah Jazz [2.20] - Right now Lauri Markkanen, Jordan Clarkson, and Kris Dunn can not play for the jazz while Mouhamed Gueye, Kobe Bufkin, Onyeka Okongwu, and Trae Young can not play for the Hawks, those are known players for the Hawks so I think that the Utah Jazz could snatch a victory against the Atlanta Hawks in this game so my pick is the Utah Jazz.

That's the nature of the game, you loss or win.. Boston really played exceptional in this game, their 3 point shooting percentage is very high, so it's hard to beat a team that are good at home and shooting a high percentage. Brown is not always consistent with this number, but that game he really excel and lead the team. That +6.5 was very enticing, hopefully not a lot of us fell on that trap as that does look like an easy cover.

It’s possible if Jalen Brown didn’t perform well on that particular. Both him and Tatum have a very good start to finish which usually ends well for them once both of them got the momentum because they have an ample amount of time to rest due to the lead they provide on 3rd quarter.

I watch an influencer that does a podcast about sports betting. He won most of his bet to this particular match by betting on players. Under score for Suns and over for Boston which really pays since the game results according to his prediction. This guy https://fb.watch/qQbRzV1uU6/?

Boston Celtics - Phoenix Suns - Phoenix Suns (6.5) - Loss! Did not cover. I thought the Phoenix Suns with their trio superstars could at least keep the game close. I was wrong.
Chicago Bulls - Los Angeles Clippers - Los Angeles Clippers (-4.5) - Win! The impact with Kawhi around is just too strong.
Milwaukee Bucks - Philadelphia 76ers - Milwaukee Bucks (-8.5) - Win! The exact spread. Lucky. 
Portland Trail Blazers - New York Knicks - New York Knicks (-10.5) - Win! Blowout game.

---

Later, we have 6 games again. Here are my picks.
Detroit Pistons - Miami Heat - Miami Heat (-6.5) - Bam Adebayo is probable to play but I still believe the Heat can manage to win this game.
Charlotte Hornets - Phoenix Suns - Phoenix Suns (-10.5) - After a loss, the Suns will definitely try to win this one.
Toronto Raptors - Orlando Magic - Orlando Magic (-6.5)
New Orleans Pelicans - Los Angeles Clippers - Los Angeles Clippers (8.5) I don't see any injuries except for James Harden. They will probably restrict the minutes of Kawhi due to a back-to-back game.
San Antonio Spurs - Denver Nuggets - Denver Nuggets (-10.5)

Good luck everyone.

With Jalen Brunson playing like a player that is bound to fail a doping test if taken in for a random test today, I knew there was no way for the Blazers to claw their way back into the game with just the 4 Quarter left to for, even if the game had continued for 2 Quarters more, there was just only one way left for the game to end, and that was the Knicks securing the W for the night.

Oh ya! Another multi bet win (unless the Knicks blow their lead in the 4th, but it’s pretty big). Granted the odds weren’t exactly going to retire anyone anytime soon, but a win is a win. Hope everyone had a great day of gambling on NBA basketball. Tomorrow I might have to switch up sports.

I'm not a fan of the Bucks spread, but I think it's a decent line for them to cover after being blown out by the Kings on the road in their previous match. Then again we could say the same for the Sixers after their match against the Knicks and we shouldn't underestimate them as much. They've recently won against decent teams like the Cavs, Mavs, and Knicks so they can show up on certain days even without their best player in the lineup.

∆ Knicks -4.5 / Blazers TT U104.5 / D. DiVincenzo 1+ stocks @1.70 ∆  won

source: https://www.si.com/nba/2024/03/13/knicks-sixers-defense-og-anunoby

Three straight under 80 points? That might not have made headlines 20-30 years ago, but it is pretty fucking amazing in this day and age, regardless of who the opponents were in those three games.

I have the Blazers' team total under 104.5, don't think the under 80-point streak will last, but the Blazers aren't putting on a clinic either. The spread is at 11.5, and i expect the Knicks to cover (but -4.5 would do just fine by me), especially considering the Blazers are on the back end of a back-to-back, tired, and without J. Grant.

DiVincenzo 1+ stocks has been one of my favorite props of late, 10/L10, Blazers also give the third most steals to opposing SGs this season.

Sorry for the late reply and for bumping this yesterday game. If Kawhi hadn't left the game, the LA Clippers would have surely won. In the first half the Clippers managed to lead by almost 20 points but after Kawhi Leonard left the game, the Minnesota Timberwolves started to come back. Didn't disclose the reason why Kawhi Leonard left the game. But after reading some reports it was because of thoracic spasms. Hopefully his okay now and can play against Bulls.

I like these two bets as both teams were coming from a loss, for the Clippers, they are in 2 losing streak, hopefully Leonard will play here. But honestly, I'm not so 100% sure aabout the Clippers since the Bulls has been playing very well recently, but anyway I'll follow ( said on our local thread I'll take a break but see this, I might put a bit for the play).

Also, for the Bucks, Losing to the Kings was pretty big, they look like  G League team on that losing over 30 points, so i'm hoping for a big comeback win and expect that they'll dominate the Embiid less Sixers. Riding this bet too, Good luck @wheelz1200

Laid off for a second.  Back at it with 3 games tonight.  Need a clean sweep to pick up some losses from last week. 

Game 1: Bucks-7.5.  I just don't think the sixers without embid can keep up here.

Game 2: Knicks-11.5. With OG back on the squad the defense picked back up and kept the sixers under 80.  Think this is like a 110-92 type of game.

Game 3: Clippers -6.5.  One of those hunch plays.  I like the clips and how they play.  The spread doesn't seem like much to get over.  Figure they will be up late 5/6 points and free throw their way into a 9 to 10 point win.

Enjoy the game and good luck everyone!

Nothing too crazy today.  Let's see if we can get a win.  I feel like the Bucks are a lock to beat the 76ers and the Knicks/Rockets/Clippers should all be easy wins as well, but you never know.  The Wizards have managed to win a few as of late and the Clippers have been dropping a few here and there.  A safer pick might be just the Knicks and Bucks to win, but those odds aren't worth the gamble.

Chicago Bulls - Los Angeles Clippers
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Los Angeles Clippers

Milwaukee Bucks - Philadelphia 76ers
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Milwaukee Bucks

Houston Rockets - Washington Wizards
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Houston Rockets

Portland Trail Blazers - New York Knicks
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
New York Knicks

Odds
2.90

Orlando Magic - Brooklyn Nets - Orlando Magic (-5.5) - Won!
Miami Heat - Denver Nuggets - Denver Nuggets (-3.5) - Won! Miami Heat took the lead for just a while.
Indiana Pacers - Chicago Bulls - Indiana Pacers (-3.5) - Loss! Overtime! Damn DeRozan. Why!?
New Orleans Pelicans - Cleveland Cavaliers - New Orleans Pelicans (-4.5) - Loss! Mitchell is back, the Cavs are strong again.
Sacramento Kings - Los Angeles Lakers - Los Angeles Lakers (-1.5) - Loss! I didn't expect that from the Kings, they are still filled with energy despite the back-to-back games.

2/5 +1

Low multiplier but a high chance.

6 games later. Here are my picks.
Boston Celtics - Phoenix Suns - Phoenix Suns (6.5) - Brown is questionable to play and Porzingis is out. I'll take my chances with the + spread.
Chicago Bulls - Los Angeles Clippers - Los Angeles Clippers (-4.5) - Coby White was hurt during the game against the Pacers and they are playing back-to-back from an overtime game. Clippers on the other hand have Kawhi and Harden both questionable to play.
Milwaukee Bucks - Philadelphia 76ers - Milwaukee Bucks (-8.5) - This should be an easy win for the Bucks. I hope the spreads will be covered.
Portland Trail Blazers - New York Knicks - New York Knicks (-10.5) - They have OG back, they have more options for their offense, and stronger in defense.

Good luck everyone.

That win from the Knicks yesterday was sweat-free, we need to have more of those dominant wins. 

It's nice to know that we are mostly on the same page with the Nuggets spread after they managed to hold off the Raptors in their last game. The Miami Heat has been underperforming recently and threw a free win away against the Wizards. With the line this close, i'd back the much better team since they nearly have the same wins and losses against the Heat at home.
