Koby White was the Hero of that game, he lead the big comeback and Demar DeroZan took care of the business for the end game. I was able to bet on the Bulls handicap and I thought that my bet has no more chance, but when they came bac and lead the game but eventually it was close, I was already happy if they lose a maximum of 3 points. However, that didn't went on my expectation, it went to OT and I was worried again that Wolves will have a big run, but good thing the momentum has really shifted to the Bulls and they won the game.

Damn, it was really unpredictable game between the Bulls and the Wolves. TimberWolves started really hot as everyone is really contributing, their shots are falling, KAT was like 4 three points in the first half, ANT was doing his thing and Gobert also playing good defense.

But when Koby White gets hot it was hard to stop him, he was shooting when the defense thought he is not going to throw as it is way below the 3 point line. And yes, this just proved that parlays is hard to hit even with just 2 selections and I'm glad that I just bet single on my 2 bets and at least break even with the Mavs win.

A real bummer about the Bulls beating the Timberwolves. I definitely wasn’t expecting that. Ruined a nice parlay for me but I was impressed with how Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving played for the Mavs tonight. I was also impressed by the Suns taking out the Bucks. Bol Bol playing like he’s trying to steal the shine from Wemby.

And just when you think that the Wolves is going to have a easy win against the Bulls, building as high as 23 point lead, Koby White ignited a huge comeback and forces the game into OT and then DeRozan taking over in the OT with the assist to Drummond for a huge win for them.

Good that you didn't go on a parlay as the Mavs won comfortably against the Nets. Luka and Kyrie combine for 71 big points and Luka is just shy of another triple double. Just 1 assist but it's all good as I also take win on them.

I'll go singles today, or at least pre game betting, I already have Luka's Mavs -3.5 at the start against the Nets.

Now that I look on the odds between the Wolves against the Bulls, I will go with the Wolves -5.5 @1.97. But still though, not going to make it a parlay, I'm not that lucky going on parlay even for 2 leg game.

I appreciate the suggestion, i'll probably do a live bet on the Knicks match as they've been scoring less in the first quarter and try to get a lower handicap from there.

That multi-bet is solid, except for the Bucks, they've been shitting the bed recently, and a few of their starting players are still GTD.

I also have the Pacers and even without Haliburton, this should be doable for the Pacers because the Rockets have been consistently bad on the road.

Just saw this on sportbetting Facebook group. I think it's from the FanDuel sports betting market. I just want to ask if there's another sports betting platform offering the same market. I'm from the Philippines and I don't know where I can find the same market. I regularly play at Stake.com but they don't have this option. I really want to tail or copy this bet, but I can't find the same market. Anyway, what are your thoughts on this bet?

^ Some good picks. I think I’m going with a 2 game parlay though. I like the Minnesota Timberwolves to beat the Chicago Bulls and cover the spread along with the Dallas Mavericks beating the Brooklyn Nets and covering the spread. Nothing too controversial today. I am looking forward to the Suns and Bucks game.

Cleveland Cavaliers - Sacramento Kings - Cleveland Cavaliers (-4.5) - Win! Blowout game!

Charlotte Hornets - Los Angeles Lakers - Los Angeles Lakers (-10.5) Lost! Did not cover.
Brooklyn Nets - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors ML - Win! Yey!

Atlanta Hawks - Los Angeles Clippers - Los Angeles Clippers (-1.5) - Win. This was a nice offensive game.

New Orleans Pelicans - Toronto Raptors - New Orleans Pelicans (-10.5) - Win. Another blowout game.

4 of 5. Lucky!

7 games today. Here are my picks.
Indiana Pacers - Houston Rockets - Indiana Pacers (-5.5) - Another questionable day for Tyrese Haliburton but I think they can still win this one, especially at their home.
New York Knicks - Memphis Grizzlies - Memphis Grizzlies (14.5) - I do know the Knicks might win this one but without Randle and OG they might not cover the spread so I'm taking the Grizzlies' high spreads.
Brooklyn Nets - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks (-1.5) - With Kyrie back they might even blow out the Nets. Mavs without their center Lively.
Miami Heat - Orlando Magic - Miami Heat (-1.5) - I am going to trust the Heat today because they are playing against the Magic and it's the Heat home. They might as well win this one.
Chicago Bulls - Minnesota Timberwolves - Minnesota Timberwolves (-3.5) - C'mon. The Wolves are too much for the Bulls.
Utah Jazz - Oklahoma City Thunder - Utah Jazz ML - Lots of players are in the injury report of the OKC Thunder. Let's see how the healthy Jazz will beat them.

Good luck everyone. Have a nice day.

My NBA picks for today was:

First:

LA Lakers (-8) - LOST
Cavaliers (-2) - WIN
Nets MW - LOST

I've never expected the Lakers to win against the Hornets with a single-digit lead. Especially with Lamelo Ball out of the lineup. In the last match between the Lakers and Hornets, the Lakers did have a blowout win. Lakers do have a 16-point lead in the half, so I think that the -8 spread is winnable, but checking the game in the 4th, the lead was cut to 10 points. In the last seconds of the 4th, Davis sank the two free throws, making the lead up to 8. So it is still considered a refund, but then Miles Bridges dunk with 1 second left in the clock. But still a great game. Davis puts up this third triple double in this game.

Second:

Hornets/Lakers OVER 221 - WIN
Cavaliers/Kings OVER 233 - WIN
76ers/Mavericks UNDER 245.5 - WIN
Hawks/Clippers OVER 240 - WIN
Nets/Warriors OVER 236 - LOST
Pelicans/Raptors OVER 229 - WIN

This one is very frustrating, because I almost had it. I almost won. But unfortunately, the Nets/Warriors go under with a total score of 207. I expected that this game would be high-scoring. Given that the Nets have a total of 118 team points in their last 3 games and it is their home court, I expected them to score more in their own arena. Also, the Warriors scored a lot this season, and they have 118 team points per game and 121 team points in their last three games.

Today was a tough day as I went 0-2. Let's see tomorrow if we can hit it.

The line movement says a lot about the chance of the Knicks to win the game. As they experience their loss after a good win streak, they are going to restart again and it will start tomorrow. I'm seeing the Knicks that is playing like a machine, everyone that is called to play are contributing and against an undermanned team, it's no surprise at all if they'll have this a blowout win. The line might be high but honestly I believe this is easiest bet to pick among the games on the board.


They seemed to be playing great recently but I'm not impressed with their record.

Home record is only 13-11 but they are 7-17 ATS.

Go with the pregame odds I suggest. Now it's -13.5 but as you mentioned, they are so undermanned and we witnessed how the Grizzlies played last game. Knicks aren't happy with their last game, so most likely they'll have a strong bounce back game tomorrow and I can see an easy 20+ points victory.

Aside from that game, I also like the Phoenix Suns -4. Bucks has been on and off lately and Doc Rivers had only won 1 game since he took over the coaching job, while the Suns has been hot lately. Last time, Beal scored 41 points, and that showed that anyone from the big 3 could have a big game.

If the Jazz were able to beat them, for sure Suns will do more than that.

Today's bet was stress-free and on top of the solid defense, they had a better three-point shooting percentage.

The Knicks' spread is tempting for tomorrow. They'll be facing the Grizzlies, who have 10+ players out from their lineup, and i'm still debating if I should live bet them or go for it this early before the odds start moving.

You actually don't need to buy points on that game because they dominated the Sacramento Kings with 26 points victory. It was the defense of the Cavaliers that was really impressive, they are as hot as the Clippers but Mitchell is playing differently, he trust his teammates more now and they are cooperating with their leader.

Max Strus has been huge, score 22 points (made 6-10 beyond the arc). This guy could have help Miami if they did sign him.

Good to see we're all on the Cavs side. Allen and Garland are already confirmed to play and maybe that's why the odds are slightly going down.

Both teams have been on a good winning run recently, but the Cavs have been more impressive after beating the Clippers and Bucks. Also bought a few points because I don't want to lose by the hook again like yesterday.

You are smart to begin recording your wagers while the year recently began. I am beginning to have the urge to record my own. I might get better results because I would not just wager without doing my homework, which causes me to lose more money on bad days. My picks for tomorrow.

1. Hawks +3: I view Clippers as an extremely frightening team in the league when its superstars are playing together. However, for the match tomorrow, I likewise take +3 on Hawks because it is refreshed and is staying at home.

2. Mavericks -2: Kyrie Irving is uncertain to play but 76ers will be without Embiid. Yesterday, 76ers lost to Nets. Luka Doncic should lead Mavericks to a triumph after consecutive misfortunes versus Bucks and Timberwolves.

3. Lakers -12: Hornets is another team that will play two matches in a row tomorrow. Hornets has seven straight losses. Hornets was losing by enormous points in the last two matches. Lakers has a great option of another win.

Detroit Pistons - Orlando Magic - Orlando Magic (-6.5) - Win! Franz Wagner went wild.  38 points for the German.
Washington Wizards - Phoenix Suns - Phoenix Suns (-10.5) - Win! A blowout game. Bradley Beal went nuts against his former team. 43 points.
Charlotte Hornets - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers (-8.5) - Win! This was a fun game at the start until the Pacers put a gap.
Miami Heat - Los Angeles Clippers - Los Angeles Clippers (-2.5) - Win! I was right, I don't believe in the Miami Heat just yet.
Minnesota Timberwolves - Houston Rockets - Minnesota Timberwolves (-5.5) - Win! Gobert played although he was questionable before the game.

Perfect on singles!
Sadly, I want to win this one parlay more than anything, but the Bucks broke one leg and then the Nuggets also did not cover. Both games are the last games and the cash-out option was not available.

That could've put the cherry on top.

Anyway, we have 6 games later.
Here are my picks.
Cleveland Cavaliers - Sacramento Kings - Cleveland Cavaliers (-4.5) - Jarrett Allen is questionable to play. I guess that's why the spreads are low.
Charlotte Hornets - Los Angeles Lakers - Los Angeles Lakers (-10.5) - Exhausted Hornets. I just hope the spreads will be covered.
Brooklyn Nets - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors ML - Wiggins is doubtful and Saric is probable. But they still have Steph, Draymond, Kuminga, and Klay. That should be enough.
Atlanta Hawks - Los Angeles Clippers - Los Angeles Clippers (-1.5) - Of all my bets for the Clippers, it is only once that they failed me. The spreads are low which could be a trap, but I don't mind.
New Orleans Pelicans - Toronto Raptors - New Orleans Pelicans (-10.5)

Passed the 76ers vs the Mavs. I'll watch that live and see if I can spot a window to get a good live bet.
Good luck everyone, enjoy your day.

I have 1-1, hence my updated record is  YTD 4-3  (57%)

Early picks.
First pick : Cleveland -5.
They are on a winning streak now. With a good home record which is 17-8, I believe they can beat the Kings who have been winning their last 2 road games.

2nd pick : Atlanta +3
Trae Young stays hot and will continue to prove that he is an all star caliber. Clippers here came from a big win vs the Heat and they are on a back to back game. I'll choose the home team here and a well rested team.

3rd pick : Warriors ML
Curry had a strong game vs the Hawks, though they loss, I still believe that they have a good chemistry now and they can win this game with Curry still leading the team.

It has to be perfect for the bet to win. It's just that Toronto aren't giving up, they trade baskets with OKC and both teams could have been tired already so it's hard to win 9 points in a double overtime. At least the bet of ralle14 did not lose easily as he saw his team fighting back to win. I guess this 0.5 is still huge because not only him, I also experience that kind of loss today. I bet on Nuggets -9.5 live and it turned out they won by 9 points. 



That's correct. Bucks beat the Dallas and then travel after that for a back to back game. Maybe if they didn't start strong and able to conserve their energy, they'll be able to match somehow the energy of the well rested team that are trying to defend their home court.

Next stop for the Bucks is vs the Suns, they'll have a rest so this game should be interesting to watch.

Great comeback by the OKC team, the game went into double overtime to settle who wins, you bet come alive, however, the score is 135-127, very close bet. If SGA would have score 3 points and not drive for easy 2, it could have been 9 points lead.


Good live bet, the Jazz out scored them in the fourth quarter with a huge 40-13 and that is the deciding factor. Nice analysis as this is the case for the Bucks as they don't have the legs against the Jazz is the final quarter.
