And speaking of that, I was able to put my bet -4.5 for Minnesota when the score is 21-12 first quarter, Wolves leading at 1.9x.

Great timing, Lakers were not able to bounce back, looks like they are a tired team in this game. It's always fun to bet live as you can watch the game and you have an idea if a certain team is struggling or not, in this case, we saw how the Lakers struggle even with a healthy line up.

For games today, I like to hear some thoughts on the Celtics vs Knicks, I guess this is an exciting game that I should be putting up a bet.

Will the fresher legs would win or the home court advantage will prevail?

We have an early game. Piston versus Rockets and will start in just minutes. I guess I will pass or try to bet live.
Rockets won, 116-107. And, once again Wood is their top scorer.

Careful betting for the Warriors. It's not a trap but they are resting Steph then Green, Wiggins, and Iggy also have their own reasons but I think they are all for resting purposes.
But, I want to see GPII shine at this moment and so does Damion Lee so I think I'll risk with a handicap of +9.5 because they are not that bad of a team without their stars. Expecting a large total score too if the three's keeps on piling up. Over 201.5 should be enough.
They are resting everyone, lol. Looks like they just want to give this win to the Raptors, and it's surely be an easy win by the Raps, I'm thinking of not just +9.5 ,but 26+ win by the Raps.

I finished 1/3 for the night, both Lakers and Atlanta Hawks couldn't win their respective matches. I'm more surprised about the Lakers having their big 3 on the floor but still look pretty mediocre  Sad

Betting on Lakers' Moneyline should be thought twice. They are inconsistent whether the team is looked at strong or weak. They were defeated even in a healthy lineup by a lower team and even they won, they are struggling to get that win. Recently, they were almost defeated by a less Doncic Dallas Mavericks and they got won because of that lucky shot. I considered that lucky shot as it's a rush.

Better bet on live bet or Lakers Total. A handicap is a good bet too.

Yeah, live betting will be a good choice, so that you can see how the complexion of the game is turning on to be. Although one drawback is that the odds keeps going up/down and as per my experience, bets are hard to get inside as the betting might be close. So you need to be very quick otherwise you might lose that good odds.

Brooklyn Nets VS Philadelphia 76ers

Well, felt sad because of that health protocol impose on the Brooklyn Nets team I surely like the Nets but with the huge team disadvantage and the team is facing players into quarantine Kevin Durant is surely not enough to face the Philadelphia 76ers now that Seth Curry, Tobias Harris, Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid in their good condition, and giving Stephen Curry a hard time because of Matisse Thybulle defense, this could be a hard time for the Nets stake odd right now 1.93 for the Nets and 1.92 for the 76ers, this is a close odds we can get but I am going with the Philadelphia 76ers.


Unfortunately I couldn't keep up with this game and I didn't bet either (I was going to bet on the Nets, but it didn't work lol)

Anyway, the Nets had a monstrous advantage in the 3 point shot, almost 50%!!
Practically Durant is carrying the Nets on his back as he is playing really well!

Very well indeed I really thought that guaranteed players would surely get them a problem but apparently, coach steve nash quick thinking of getting Kevin Durant back and forth inside the court is surely helpful and I should have bet and trusted the Brooklyn Nets that day,

but right now as I have seen the Brooklyn Nets injury report Kevin Durant is among their injured player but may return to play tomorrow before the game against the Magic, right now the team of Brooklyn Nets is struggling in keeping their players healthy right now.

Golden State Warriors VS Boston Celtics - Score 107 - 111

I don't know about all of you but I sure love watching how the Golden State Warriors play and how Stephen Curry landing all that 3 point shots without fail,
and with this game Curry just landed 30 pts 4 assists and 5 rebounds, Stephen Curry is really something Ray Allen's record was 2973 3 Point shots in his 1300 games while Stephen Curry has 2977 in just 789 of his games, and he could surely be able to pass that record when he hits the 900 games he played,

well with this game the Warriors are not setting a good record and may hit the championship if they keep on doing this, and I think when Klay Thompson returns I really think the Golden State Warriors will surely be unstoppable.

Loss my 76ers bet.  Sad

My pick tonight.

I got the Wolves winning against the LA Lakers. line open -2.5 for the home team, now only PK.

I'll take the ML anyway, I believe they'll beat the LA Lakers here.

No Westbrook and Avery Bradley.
https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/russell-westbrook-enters-health-and-safety-protocols-lakers-to-sign-isaiah-thomas-as-replacement-per-reports/

i was wrong that Westbrook won't play but my pick is right as it was an easy win by the Twolves.
Lakers did struggle and I am right this time so I'll continue betting against the Lakers until they became a consistent team.

My advance pick.

Celtics vs NY Knicks.

I got the NY Knicks to cover here. Celtics playing a back to back game, I think even if they'll win it will not result to a dominant win, so that +4.5 for me is a value, I'm taking it.

I can't seem to find the right emotion for this kind of bet.  Cheesy Happy or not?

Won the over-score bet but a bad loss for the 2 games. Should've followed Dave on that spread. Anyway, congrats to all who didn't extend their greediness like me.
Watched the Laker game after those two games and I hope Anthony Davis didn't hurt himself so badly because he said he is okay but never went back.
Let's wish it will not be something to miss more games. MRI result may come out tomorrow.

Lakers are so ugly on their gain against the Timberwolves.

You are right, their problem is their inconsistency, one day they'll win, next day they'll lose big time.
though Westbrook did play, it has still not change the chance of the team, they are just being dominated by the Timberwolves who are not even a good playoffs contender.

^^ Ok so it make sense now that the Raptors are the favorite at 1.28 ML.

Probably it's better to skip this game for tomorrow, the Bucks and Cleveland might be a good game to watch as the odds are very close to each other. Maybe Giannis will still not play here and they are in the back to back games while Cavs take a rest and on a winning streak. But it will be on the homecourt of the Bucks, so take that into consideration when betting on this game.

Warriors vs Toronto game, Draymond and Steph might rest in this game as reported already, so this is a good chance for the Raptors to have a win against the top team right now.

I don't think they'll let them rest both Curry and Green since Jordan Poole is going to be sidelined due to covid health and safety protocol.
However, Raptors will have a good chance to win in this game, since they were also able to cover the spread from their last couple of games and they also have a good game.
Looking at the spread and odds, it really looks like the GSW is not going to play with the complete roster.
I try to look at the sources of this news:

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/32892969/stephen-curry-draymond-green-several-golden-state-warriors-set-rest-toronto-raptors

Quote
The Golden State Warriors are resting Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and several other players in advance of Saturday's game against the Toronto Raptors.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr said after Friday's 111-107 win over the Boston Celtics that he would discuss the possibility with GM Bob Myers of resting some veterans as the Warriors enter into the second night of a back-to-back at the end of a five game East Coast swing.

So this could be true already, I think they are more willing to have Curry and the rest take a break as to not force their body and maybe who knows, injuries might happen to anyone of them. So right decision for Kerr to have them sit out against Toronto.

Early game between the Rockets and the Pistons, but I would say that Pistons might be an edge here.

I'm going with Detroit -1.5 @1.91. I love the Rockets team, but the home team will win here.

^Warriors -4.5 for me Dave. No injuries were reported and I hope they are all clear before the game starts.
211.5 seems a bit low but if this becomes a defensive game then it might not really go over it. But, when GSW heats up it's an easy task to achieve so I am going for Over 211.5 with just 1.74 profits.

Just by a margin mate, 111-107, I got it at 1.88, -3.5. Was very close game at the end, Warriors leading almost the full game but they can't separate themselves, Marcus Smart hitting 3's in the last 10 seconds to make it 107-109 but Lee sank 2 FT's.

My other bet is for the Bucks -3.5. Khris Middleton is listed as "probable" to play against the Pelicans but I think the other players can still handle them.
Good luck brothers.

We have the same beat, but the Bucks lost, No Giannis, no Middleton, no Bobby Portis, ouch!. But they gave everything and force a OT and I thought that they have a chance to win and hope to cover the spread. But it took a toll on them without their top players.

Good luck brothers.

It was reported that Giannis is not going to play in this game?

In any case though, the Bucks is still capable of winning without it, the line open at -2.5 but -3.5 bet is also good if Middleton can carry the Bucks with Holiday.

How about the Magic and the Heat?  Can Heat cover the -5.5 line?
Very enticing, but most of the time a trap may take place.

I like also the bucks to cover that handicap. Pelicans is not performing well though they won against OKC but against stronger team like
Bucks, that's very questionable.

Even without Giannis, if Middleton and Holiday will be there, Portis can complete the trio.

Good luck!

Unfortunately, the report is only Giannis not playing, but Portis and Middleton didn't play as well. So they are really in handicap but they were able to push the ball and force the OT.

But they've lost, it was only Holiday who carry the team with 40 big points, and Allen with 25 point.

The rest didn't provide, specially Pat Connaughton who played 41 minutes but just scored 9 points.

Demarcus Cousins played 19 minutes and scored 9 points also.

As of less than one hour before the game, Westbrook appears to have cleared the covid protocols and will play (or at least he is available). Isaiah Thomas is also available for the Lakers. 👀

Antony Edwards is a late scratch for the home team, guess that pushed the line further to Wolves +1, for those interested in that game.

Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards has entered into the league’s Covid protocols, sources tell ESPN.

My play here is a prop bet on D'Angelo Russell totals: D. Russell 15+ points / 6+ assists / 3+ rebs @1.86

I often bet on players facing their former teams or teams who drafted them because it adds motivation to perform well. With ANT out, it's all on KAT and Russell in terms of minutes, touches, shots, etc.

Tonight's got a bunch of intriguing games on the board I like a bunch of them but 2 games are sticking out to me that I probably will go in on:

Jazz at home -11.5 against the Spurs.  Jazz are absolutely dominant at home and the Jazz are a matchup nightmare for Spurs.  Expect Rudy to dominate the inside both offensively and defensively.  Only way Spurs keep it tight if they are fire from 3 land

Then I like Portland over char in Portland -2.  Port is awesome at home and char is without lamely to run the point.  Should be an easy port win here.

Good luck everyone!

I hope the Lakers will struggle without Westbrook, but in some cases, they have a better ball movement without him as sometimes Westbrook is the main reason why the team would lose. The pick is good but I'm not riding it, instead, I'll look for a more exciting game like the Warriors vs Boston and I'll choose the Warriors to win.
