∆ J. Duren 12+ RA / J. Duren 1+ stocks @1.75 ∆  won

I locked this early in the day in the hopes that Donovan Mitchell will not play (he has missed a couple of games due to knee soreness, and the Cavs just played a 2OT game against Chicago, so i wouldn't be surprised if he is rested). If Mitchell does not play, this will most likely be a low-scoring game, which should help the Pistons stay in it for long. My main concern for Duren is his minutes, which are directly impacted by whether he gets into early foul trouble or not. If he gets 30+ minutes i'm sure he is covering the 12+ RA, he's cleared the line in 5/L5, 1+ stocks in 4/L5.

Charlotte Hornets - Milwaukee Bucks - Milwaukee Bucks (-10.5) - Win! Covered. Although that made me a bit terrified for a time there.
New York Knicks - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors (-2.5) - Win! Warriors played well at distributing the ball. Nice.
San Antonio Spurs - Oklahoma City Thunder - Oklahoma City Thunder (-10.5) - Loss! 6 winning streak broken in an unexpected way/opponent. Wemby was awesome at this game.
Phoenix Suns - Houston Rockets - Phoenix Suns (-10.5) - Loss! Did not cover. Suns won by five points only.
Denver Nuggets - Miami Heat - Denver Nuggets (-2.5) - Win! I was right. Miami Heat was actually lucky Murray was hurt in the first half. The Nuggets still covered the spreads somehow.
Los Angeles Lakers - Washington Wizards - Los Angeles Lakers (-10.5) - Loss! The Wizards fought back and made it to overtime but Lebron was just too much for them.
4 of 6. Not bad.

---

Later, 9 games.
Here are my picks.

Detroit Pistons - Cleveland Cavaliers - Cleveland Cavaliers (-10.5) - LeVert and Mitchell are both questionable to play but I think they can still manage with their twin towers right there to defend and attack at the rim. Allen and Mobley.
Philadelphia 76ers - Charlotte Hornets - Charlotte Hornets (10.5) - Embiid is not even back yet. The Hornets are being underestimated here. I will take that +10 if ever something goes wrong. They had a good 4 game-winning streak before the playoffs.
Boston Celtics - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks (10.5) - They always put Luka Doncic on a questionable status and yet he plays. I hope he plays tonight.
Toronto Raptors - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors (-1.5) - The Warriors had been playing great basketball. I would like to see Kuminga do more damage against the Raptors.
New Orleans Pelicans - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers ML @2.75 - Risky, but could be rewarding.
Minnesota Timberwolves - Sacramento Kings - Minnesota Timberwolves (-4.5) - Twolves are on their 3rd winning streak, it might continue.

Going for live betting on the remaining games again.
Good luck everyone and have fun.

Updated record 22-23 (49%)

1-1 that day. Suns was a winner early on but then Rockets made a strong come back and Suns failed to cover the spread.

Moving on,

1- Dallas +10..as per report, Luka is questionable, but Dallas with Irving is still a good team. I think +10 is too much to be given for the playoff team like Dallas. Maybe due to the win streak of the Celtics that's why they are overvalued.

2-Warriors -3 ...No stopping for the Warriors, they need this consistent win so they'll get back to the playoff spot.
3-Clippers -15... A must win for them and I think they'll dominate here.

We have the same pick but I still have feeling that Miami might win against the Nuggets. Remember the last game between the Kings and the Miami Heat? The Heat won without eight of their players due to suspension and injuries. Anyway, I'm still going with the Denver Nuggets for the rematch of the 2023 NBA Finals teams.

For those three games you didn't provide here my picks Golden State Warriors, Brooklyn Nets & Orlando Magic. NY Knicks still struggling 3-7 in their last 10 games.

Figured Dallas would take care of business after that bad loss.

Tonight's games:

Bucks -11.5 away at Charlotte.  Charlotte is just terrible.  Maybe they don't cover but I have to bet the Bucks here.

Can't bet against my knicks usually but how can't I here.  Golden state -4.5 and brunson might not play again.  Topped with 3 other starters out and you have a bench squad who won't compete against the dubs starters.

Last give me the Nuggets-4.5 at home.  Heat on a west coast trip and a tight spread.  Think Denver takes this one here.

Good luck and enjoy the games people.

Even though I have said those players will not play I am still saying those things even though they are listed as that this reply may be late because this is already a day-old game, here is the result for the game last February 28, and I think that the New York Knicks have struggled a lot against the New Orleans Pelicans it was a clear win for the Pelicans even if the home advantage was with the Knicks the Pelicans still manage something even great so here is the result of my pick.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Dallas Mavericks - WIN

Cleveland Cavaliers [1.57] - The Cavaliers have won against the Dallas Mavericks but it was a pretty much neck and neck situation for this game it was really close beyond compare, but still, the Cleaveland managed to struggle this game as they get their win, still a great game to watch.

Atlanta Hawks vs. Utah Jazz - LOST

Utah Jazz [2.04] - The only loss that I have had, it was a close game, and even though the Hawks but still it was my lost from not going with the favorites,

New York Knicks vs. New Orleans Pelicans - WIN

New Orleans Pelicans [1.75] - Well the two players that I have mentioned still didn't play in this game and the New Yorkleans have peak to their performance but they have still managed

I haven't won a bet all week.  Surely this has to be my worst losing streak after an amazing start earlier in this year.  Obviously the way to go is with some long odds on another parlay.    Go big or go home!  Good luck out there.

3/5. Not bad.

Later, we have 8 games listed.
Here are my picks.
Charlotte Hornets - Milwaukee Bucks - Milwaukee Bucks (-10.5) - Giannis is probable to play.
New York Knicks - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors (-2.5) - Wiggins was ruled out due to personal reasons. Brunson for the Knicks is questionable to play.
San Antonio Spurs - Oklahoma City Thunder - Oklahoma City Thunder (-10.5) - 6th winning streak for the Thunder, they are playing great again and all the young players are healthy.
Phoenix Suns - Houston Rockets - Phoenix Suns (-10.5) - Nurkic is probable to play for the Suns. While the Rockets had been losing their games.
Denver Nuggets - Miami Heat - Denver Nuggets (-2.5) - I've been trusting the Miami Heat for the last few games, not today.
Los Angeles Lakers - Washington Wizards - Los Angeles Lakers (-10.5) - After that great win against the Clippers, I bet their confidence is pouring.

Good luck everyone. I hope we win our bets.

@Baofeng bet on the Lakers moneyline, this was his post in our local.

Unfortunately for me, I bet on the other side. That game made me realize that it's not good to celebrate early because you can think that the 21-point lead was already an ensuring win, but the Lakers snatched that from me. LOL... 4th-quarter big run, and it looks like the Clippers had no energy to fight.

today's games were very interesting, the lakers played against the clippers in an incredible game in which the clippers won the first period by a difference of just 1 point, it was a very balanced first period, but in the second period the clippers were more effective in attack and ended with victory by a difference of 13 points. It really was a big difference in points considering that in the first period the difference was only 1 point. I don't know what happened to the Lakers' defense and attack in the second period, they failed to score more than 23 points in the second period and conceded 36 points, 6 points more compared to the first period. So the second period was a disaster for the Lakers

In the third period I even expected them to recover, as I wasn't watching the game I was just following the results so I couldn't get many details of what was happening in the game, the third period also ended with a defeat for the Lakers but this time the difference of points was reduced, there were only 5 points, but again the lakers only managed to score 25 points, in the 3 periods the lakers were unable to score above 30 points, in my head I had already resigned myself to the lakers' defeat, until Last period I started seeing the Lakers' points increasing while they weren't conceding many points, the Clippers were having a hard time scoring points, while the Lakers were doing very well on offense and managed to win the game. Lebron is still the king of the Lakers, this guy even at 39 years old can be the savior of the Lakers, I keep wondering what the Lakers will be like the day he retires

Yes, if Luka and Irving is going to put numbers like this, it's hard to beat them. And they could give the best duo right now, in Tatum and Brown if there will be such award in the NBA. Luka is averaging Jordan like numbers this season, and I think we haven't seen this kind of average since that era.

How about the Lakers beating their domestic rivals in Clippers.

Did someone lay a bet on them? ML is above 2.x already so that is good enough win if there is amongst us who bet on them. Tough lost for the Clippers, after leading by 21 points in this game, they've lost steamed in the 4th quarter and Lebron showing us that he is not going to slow down even if this is his 20th season.

Updated record 21-22 (49%)

Back to betting.

1-GSW -4... This team needs to improve their ranking, and vs the Knicks which has been  struggling against a playoff teams, the road team should win here. I expect Thompson to contribute at least 20 points, that would be huge for the team.

2-Suns -8.5.. Rockets are not the same team anymore when they started. If they can't win in OKC they cannot also win in Phoenix, this is another 10+ victor for the Suns.

Another spot on bet with having your money on the Dallas Mavericks. Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving wrecked havoc tonight, even though the Toronto Raptors did put up some really good fight and numbers too, but Doncic was at the center of it all, and the Dallas would hardly lose any game if Doncic and Kyrie are this terrific every night. There is no better way to celebrate his 25th birthday that with a convincing display and triple double.

Nail all 3 last night needed a big night.  The ending to the cavs game was crazy.  So glad I didn't take the money line that would have hurt bad to lose on a 60 foot shot to win by 1 lol.  Think after that they go and route Toronto tonight.  I usually never bet on a team on a back to back but tonight is different.  Taking Dallas on the money line and calling it a night

Never been this late I have missed a ton of games in the NBA because I was so busy playing this game that I liked that I never imagined that the time was late for sleep so I am really that often in the forum just posting a little, but anyhow we got

Indiana Pacers vs. New Orleans Pelicans

The game will commence at Gainbridge Fieldhouse home of the Indiana Pacers, with odds of 1.38 for the Pacers and 3.20 for the Pelicans, Doug McDermott has a Calf injury and can not play for the Pacers, while Dyson Daniels has a Knee injury, and can not play for the Pelicans Brandon Ingram, Zion Williamson, Trey Murphy III, and CJ McCollum are unhealthy and have given time to play for this game for me that unhealthy player might underperform, and will be given a less time to play so my pick will be the Indiana Pacers.

Toronto Raptors vs. Dallas Mavericks

The game will commence at Scotiabank Arena home of the Toronto Raptors,  with odds of 2.30 for the Raptors and 1.65 for the Mavericks, for the Toronto Raptors Markquis Nowell, Jakob Poeltl, and Chris Boucher are all unhealthy and will be given less time to play for this game while Dante Exum, Dereck Lively II, Maxi Kleber, and Luka Doncic are all unhealthy and will be given less time to lay for this game, so I think that the Mavericks are doing bad having 2 consecutive losses while the Raptors have 3 consecutive wins for this game I will go with the underdog as I think that the Raptors will have the edge and now that they have a certain momentum I think they will win this game.

Denver Nuggets vs. Sacramento Kings

The game will commence at Ball Arena home of the Denver Nuggets, with odds of 1.36 for the Nuggets and 3.30 for the Kings, Vlatko Cancar can not play because of a knee injury and Hunter Tyson is unhealthy and will be given less time to play while Sasha Vezenkov can not play because of an ankle injury and De'Aaron Fox is unhealthy and will be given less time to play, so for this game, the De'Aaron Fox thing is crucial for the Kings while the Nuggets are going strong for this game and being the defending champion and having 3 consecutive wins for sure the Denver Nuggets will win this game.

I'm looking for my third win in a row with the Nuggets, and i'm hoping the rest advantage is more than enough for them to get a decent lead. The last time they met the Kings came out on top, but surely the Nuggets wouldn't let that happen again now they're only a few games behind the other top teams.



The Cavs' spread was somewhat tempting against the Bulls, but it already moved by a point and the Bulls now might be the more hungry team after losing against the Pistons.

BOL, if you're going to back them. From my perspective, it's too risky when the Raptors could make this a competitive match and the Mavs could be in for another close loss.

Another day, another upset ruined my parlay.    Big tears over here but I'll be ok.  Let's see if we can manage to make some of it back and hit a nice parlay today.  Some good games to watch regardless of the outcome.

Yeah, there are games that the Pistons are improving or even just going toe to toe with the team and highly had a chance to win like this one. They just need to have the mentality and Cunningham could have lead the team, but unfortunately he missed a lot of crucial shots that game.

Pelicans might be tired, but I like their chances at +5.5 against the Pacers here.

Good day.

Washington Wizards - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors (-9.5) - Won!
Orlando Magic - Brooklyn Nets - Orlando Magic (-6.5) Won!
Cleveland Cavaliers - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks (6.5) - Won! The Mavs could've won this game if not for Max Struss's halfcourt buzzer-beater.
Atlanta Hawks - Utah Jazz - Utah Jazz (-1.5) Loss! Without Trae Young, the Hawks still managed to blow out the Jazz.
New York Knicks - New Orleans Pelicans - New Orleans Pelicans (-1.5) - Won!
Boston Celtics - Philadelphia 76ers - Boston Celtics (-10.5) - Won!

And here's a bonus.

Miami Heat had been shockingly playing great with or without their stars.

Later, 6 games.
Here are my picks.

Indiana Pacers - New Orleans Pelicans - Indiana Pacers (-3.5) - CJ McCollum won't be available for this game.
Toronto Raptors - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks (-1.5) - I don't want to be greedy. The Raptors can sometimes be surprising.
Minnesota Timberwolves - Memphis Grizzlies - Minnesota Timberwolves (-10.5) - They are just too much against any team right now.
Chicago Bulls - Cleveland Cavaliers - Cleveland Cavaliers (-3.5) - The Cavs might be exhausted from a back-to-back game but I don't think they will let this one slip away that easy.
Denver Nuggets - Sacramento Kings - Denver Nuggets (-5.5)

Good luck everyone, have a nice day.

Sometimes I hit a bet with bigger odds, but most of the time I lose. I don't even count if I'm up or not; I just love to take a high risk and maybe have fun. But my bet on normal odds is quite bigger and very limited in choosing a game.

---

They almost had that win, but Strus ruined their chance. Just won! It's unbelievable; this guy really adds some good value to the team, and he is the product of the Miami Heat, who are not afraid to take shots, even big shots like that. Anyway, since Dallas is now on a 2-game losing streak, I think it's imperative to back them tomorrow against the Raptors.
