There's no trap on those huge spread, pretty much the team cover it.

For Phoenix vs Hawks, Atlanta win comfortably, so the odd makers or at least NBA bettors got it right on closing the gap because Atlanta won by a huge margin.

Denver is leading by as much as 20 points, New York had difficulty scoring today against a good defense by the Nuggets.

Yesterday was far from ideal for anyone in this thread, let's hope we all do better today and cash some tickets.  

Westbrook 15+ pts + O9.5 rebs + O9.5 ast @1.75 won

If Wizards are playing, you can't go wrong with Westbrook's special, as i call it, the triple-double machine that he is. Bucks should be a bit tired after a tough game against the Nets, and Middleton won't play, so minus one good defender. I have something similar on Sabonis, who has put up some insane numbers for Indiana over the last two games.

Jokic 15+ pts + O199.5 + Knicks +12.5 @1.60 lost

Knicks have been covering spreads like crazy, 14 of the last 15, so i'm giving them a bit more leeway here with 12.5, can't see them getting dropped by double digits, particularly with Nuggets missing their top three guards (Murray, Barton, and Morris).

Joe Ingles O6.5 assists @1.84 won

Ingles is coming off back-to-back games with 9 assists, and with Mitchell and Conley still out, he is their best playmaker/facilitator, besides Clarkson, who is more of a scoring first guard imo. But don't get me wrong, 7 isn't a small number (especially for a non-guard), i'm just hoping he comes through for me.

Yeah, surprised to see those huge spread today, so I'm not risking it.

How about Phoenix vs Hawks, this might be a difficult game to predict, Phoenix was the favourite in the beginning, but it seems that Hawks are closing the gap.

Denver Nuggets vs New York - I will go for New York ML, they are the underdogs here, so let's see if they can continue with their winning streak.

Same pick here, I got Grizz tonight too, they should take care of the business although Timberwolves been playing well lately.

I also got them in my 4 legged parlay together with Blazers, Celtics, and Jazz.

They spread are just ridiculous if you ask me and why would anyone want to take those, we might even see an upset or two.

I'm taking the Grizzlies -3.5 vs Minnesota Timberwolves for tonight

I'll follow that pick, Wizards plays no defense, I just hope they are effective against the Bucks or the game will go into OT, that would be a guaranteed over in this game. Lots of games now with high spread, I'm afraid of taking them, they might win but fail to cover.

My pick :

Bucks vs Wizarsds.

Since I can't find a game where I like to bet on the spread, so I choose the total.
I like the over of this particular game, both are a high-scoring team and I liked how the line has moved.

Therefore my pick is over 243 points. Good luck everyone.

This is more on having a big nerve, Knowing that both teams are under dog but the point here is both
teams are also trying to win to survive their payoff appearance,.

There are lots of games but I'm eyeing with Hawks vs Suns, ML is good enough taking Suns for this
I love the combo of Booker and CP3.

Good luck!

Yes, that's correct. They are still fighting and that's why I put 2 risky bets again.
Utah Jazz vs San Antonio Spurs
Spurs - ML.
Pelicans in their tail with 30 wins already while they were stuck at 31 with 4 losing streaks. They badly need this win and I think they will bring their best game on this one. Pops just wont let it be in a tie position against the Pelicans. Every game will count and they'll need to get their revenge with the Jazz too.

The other risky one.
Milwaukee Bucks vs Washington Wizards
Wizards +3.5

Pelicans are not giving up their hope to be in the playoffs.  They still have a good chance if they'll start winning again and the Warriors might lose their playoff spot. It's very crucial, every game is important, we may not think that the Pelicans would not win because they were inconsistent lately, but this is a good team also. I had no bet on this game that's I don't feel bad that the Warriors lose.

Just the breaks of the game, I too had GSW @ML. But Pelicans have answered every basket that GSW make and even more, Ball made a three and Steph can't hit one in the closing minutes.

And I thought that GSW can repeat their performance from the last outing, but the problem is that only 2 players scored in double digits for GSW, the other one is Wiggins, that's weird. And if they won, this could be one for the history.

Pelicans bounce back, they beat the GSW.. but did you see the lights out? what was that all about?? did curry 3 point shot sink in?


I did not bet on the games you bet, so I did not lose, but I have a bet on that day and I only got 2-2.. not a bad day for me but of course I'll go for profit, so let's win tomorrow.

Crappy end for GSW. Sorry guys.
I really thought they are going to win it but Steph had a bad 2nd half with 1/13 at 3 point line. All his juice was given at the first half and had nothing to finish the game. Wiggins made a good contribution but not enough to give them a win.

Kings didn't cover my spread too with just a 4 point lead. I took -4.5.  Bad day. Try again tomorrow.

Less than two weeks of regular-season action left in the NBA, things should get real spicy in the final days with teams fighting for seeding position, making the play-in tournament or just simply racking up more losses at the bottom of the standings.  

Jalen McDaniels O5.5 rebounds @1.77 won ---just two quarters needed

This is possibly my favorite bet of the day! The Hornets like to run small lineups most of the time, and they will be without PJ Washington, M. Bridges, and one of the Martin brothers. McDaniels has two consecutive games with 9 rebounds, one of which was against the Pistons (in just 15 minutes), he should/or is expected to get extended minutes tonight, like 30+, he is basically their most athletic guy @6'9 and against Detroit's poor shot selection, he should be able to get plenty of boards, at least 8+ imo.

Suns 1st Half + Clippers 1st Half @1.66 lost

Cavs are officially eliminated from the playoffs, Garland will not play (along with a few others), there have been rumors that teammates dislike Sexton and his ball-dominant style, the Cavs are only looking for losses from now on, and they are currently on a six-game losing streak. The Suns just got the first seed in the West, and they're not losing against those scrubs.
Clippers lost their third seed, on a three-game losing streak of their own, not sure if they want to face the Lakers in the first round. I believe Clippers -9.5 was the most popular bet today with everyone and their mamas on them Clippers, and i don't see why not. Raptors are garbage!

Zion 25+ points + Ingram 20+ pts @1.78 lost

These two just played the other day, and the Warriors showed that they can't stop Zion from scoring. I'm hoping Ingram gets more than 11 shots today, and if he does, i'm pretty sure he'll score more than 20.

Gl, everyone!  

I like this Kings pick, OKC has no chance in the playoffs anymore and they keep losing while Kings beating teams like Lakers and the Mavericks. That handicap is not high enough, for sure Kings will cover it as they'll play hard for that playoff spot.

Yeah right, Ball need to adjust Pelicans also needs to guard Green as he's taking charge, with his assist and those attacks to the basket scores, GSW will bring them down.

Kings are just quitely chasing the playoff chances, if Spurs will continue losing they still got that open opportunities, this
handicap is good to tail with, best of luck!

Repeat.
New Orleans Pelicans vs Golden State Warriors
GSW - ML
If Lonzo cannot guard Curry, who will? They need speed and someone who will not take off his eyes from that man.
He will just keep on running on the floor without the ball and it should be stopped.

Oklahoma City Thunder vs Sacramento Kings
Kings -4.5
Are the Kings still trying to steal the 10th spot from the Spurs? If the Spurs will keep on losing their games then they just might. Or the Pelicans will take it.

Great job @Harkorede, so you won both on the total and the spread.

I guess stadus really analyze the game carefully as he only chooses one despite the many games available. I'm following from time to time but I just can't prevent myself from betting more games as I'm having a lot of fun doing that, although sometimes it results in a loss.

So what do we have in later?

Yeah, @Stadus pick was on point and I won my bet too.

The Over was around 231-234 as at the time of my post according to my sportbook, perhaps the spread increase as the fixture approached.

Congrats to all winners!

The handicap won, congratulations to you guys, However, I think the total resulted in a push?

What was the line when you bet on the over? I see in the site I follow that the over/under is 237 and that is the exact score.
