I'll admit that not a whole lot of thought went into today's picks, so beware if you're expecting to follow some sort of knowledge here.  Nothing really jumped out at me today for good bets so I grabbed a couple that should be sure things.  After yesterday we see that such a thing doesn't exist, but here's another try getting back on the horse.  Good luck!

Unfortunately, the Knicks rhythm is there in this game but it was too late against the Heat, the first quarter was enough cushion for the Heat and then maintain that lead all throughout the game, but it was really close and the final score didn't reflect how the game was. The Knicks was able to tie it to 92 but that was the last push they made as Terry Rozier bury a 3 and that its for the Knicks.

Terry Rozier drilled eight 3-pointers and had 34 points to help the Knicks weathered that big comeback of the Knicks in the 4th quarter.

Something smells bad  not really sure since aside from Dame the core players are playing and stats wise I for sure can tell that they can dominate the game, but yeah, it seems that anyone can win and that's can't be controlled by the fans and bettors, upset can happen and no one knows when it gonna be, Bucks already secured their position for the next round only bettors are the one who suffered from this lost as for the team standing they still in the 2nd spot after this lost.

The Bucks losing to the Wizards really screwed my picks for the day. They had no business losing that game. Goes to show that any team can win on any given night in the NBA. If I were the coach I’d be looking into what the Bucks players were up to last night though. Clearly something was off with them today.

Another positive night 2-1.  Tonight I took some of the later games.  So far got 3 in. 

1) Denver -15.5 at home against the Spurs.  Tough matchup for the Spurs, think jokic runs this game and they blowout the Spurs.

2) Clippers +3.5 away at the Kings. I still like the Clippers and this seems like a late season game that will be tight.  Give me the dog in this game.

3) Dallas-1.5 away against the Warriors.  I was actually going to bet the Warriors here but I just can't.  This seems like a home game they win but I'm fading them towards the end of the year.  Dallas to win here.

Good luck everyone and enjoy the games.

The Knicks and Heat will face each other in a crucial game as they approach the playoffs. They have met twice this season and both times the Knicks were victorious. Despite losing their last two games, the Knicks are firmly entrenched in the playoff picture. Led by Jalen Brunson, the Knicks are very efficient on offense.

The Miami Heat, on the other hand, have been up and down lately and are looking for a top six spot. Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo usually perform well against the Knicks and this could be an important factor for the Heat to win against the Knicks. The Heat are one of the best defensive teams in the NBA. I think it will be an exciting and competitive game and I think the Heat will be victorious with their strong defense and home court advantage.

I don't know but I will go with my Knicks here against the Heat at ML. They are in somewhat of a skid but losing on a very close game. So I think this is going to be another classic match up between the two although the Heat will have the homecourt advantage. But I will go with my Knicks here at ML as a betting underdog,  .

With that, I wouldn't mind putting some money for them.

And same with others, watch the game early and do live betting as well.

Not the best odds today so I probably couldn't recommend you chase this one and feel good about it.  Still, rolling after yesterday's win has me wanting to chase that high to another victory.  I thought about tossing the 76ers in there as well since Joel Embiid is supposed to make a comeback, but I'll wait and see how he looks on the floor before putting any money behind him.  Good luck!

Well, you are not wrong. They won great today. Booker played monsterfully.  

Orlando Magic - Portland Trail Blazers - Orlando Magic (-14.5) Loss! Close game, did not cover.
Charlotte Hornets - Boston Celtics - Boston Celtics (-15.5) Loss! Ergh!
Indiana Pacers - Brooklyn Nets - Indiana Pacers (-10.5) Win! Covered.
Chicago Bulls - Atlanta Hawks - Chicago Bulls (-1.5) Loss!
New Orleans Pelicans - Phoenix Suns - Phoenix Suns ML Win! Man, I should've put some spreads here. My instincts told me that but I didn't listen.

Not bad. 2/5 But that is why I don't like high spreads.

Later, we have 9 games. Here are my picks.
Washington Wizards - Milwaukee Bucks - Milwaukee Bucks (-10.5)
Toronto Raptors - Los Angeles Lakers - Los Angeles Lakers (-10.5)
Philadelphia 76ers - Oklahoma City Thunder - Oklahoma City Thunder (-3.5) Don't be surprised by the spreads, SGA and Jalen Williams are questionable. Not because Embiid is back.
Edit: Oh God! I am seeing Embiid in props. I think he will play!
Miami Heat - New York Knicks - Miami Heat (-1.5)
Minnesota Timberwolves - Houston Rockets - Houston Rockets (8.5) This is going to be a fun game. After that frustrating broken winning streak, will they still play as confidently as those last games?
Denver Nuggets - San Antonio Spurs - Denver Nuggets (-13.5)

Playing live betting later for the last 3 games. Good luck everyone.

∆ CJ McCollum 20+ PA / T. Murphy III 5+ rebounds / H. Jones 1+ stocks @1.72 ∆   won

The above play has a 100% hit ratio since Ingram's injury against Orlando, it's 5 out of 5. One of the more impressive stats is that T. Murphy, a shooting guard, leads the team in total rebounds over that 5-game stretch with 8.4, more than Zion and Valanciunas. By the way, H. Jones' run of 1+ stocks has already reached 22...👀

It looks good on paper, and besides it's the only game important enough for both teams. The Suns are only two games behind the 6th seed (Pels) if they want to avoid the uncertainty of a play-in game/s.

Nice 3-0 sweep last night.  The only thing that sucked was the Knicks dropping a tough one against okcity.

Tonight I got 3 bets in:

1) Hornets +17.5.  Logic says Celtics destroy here but Hornets are home and I think they can keep this either close enough or backdoor a cover near the end of the game.
2) Pacers-12.5.  At home and against the Nets who are on the second night of a back to back.  Gimme the Pacers here.
3) bulls -2 at home against the Hawks.  Toss up game but since it's almost a pickem  give me the home team here.

Good luck everyone!

Not taking anything too crazy today.  I did take the Phoenix Suns over the New Orleans Pelicans because I don't ever consider the Suns underdogs to the Pelicans...  Even though the Pels have been playing well lately and I assume the Suns have someone out with an injury given the odds, I still think they'll come through with a win today.  We'll see...

Charlotte Hornets - Boston Celtics
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Boston Celtics

New Orleans Pelicans - Phoenix Suns
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Phoenix Suns

Yeah, Dallas is just too much for them. But it could've been awesome if they won that game. I think that will become one of the longest winning streaks in the league this season.

Denver Nuggets - Cleveland Cavaliers - Denver Nuggets -5.5 Won!
Washington Wizards - Miami Heat - Miami Heat (-10.5) Won!
Charlotte Hornets - Los Angeles Clippers - Los Angeles Clippers (-12.5) Loss! Spread not covered, I need 1 more point!
Brooklyn Nets - Los Angeles Lakers - Los Angeles Lakers (-4.5) Won!
New York Knicks - Oklahoma City Thunder - New York Knicks (-1.5) Loss! One-point game. Grrrr.
Sacramento Kings - Utah Jazz - Sacramento Kings (-10.5) Won!

6 games later. Here are my picks.
Too many high spreads. I hope they can cover it.
Orlando Magic - Portland Trail Blazers - Orlando Magic (-14.5)
Charlotte Hornets - Boston Celtics - Boston Celtics (-15.5)
Indiana Pacers - Brooklyn Nets - Indiana Pacers (-10.5)
Chicago Bulls - Atlanta Hawks - Chicago Bulls (-1.5)
New Orleans Pelicans - Phoenix Suns - Phoenix Suns ML

Fingers are crossed, no traps today.
Good luck everyone. Have a great day.

Updated record 52(W)-51(L)..... 50%

2 of 3 again. My rockets can't beat a strong team like Dallas, but that's fine at least we end up having a winning day.

So again we go...

Indiana -12.5
This must be a win by the home team as they can't afford to go down at 7. Nets are on a back to back game, I think the home team are just too much, so Pacers should cover.

Bulls -2.5
Both teams need a win but I like the home team here.. .

Pelicans +1
I'm thinking they'll have a strong bounce back game after being dominated by the Celtics.  They cannot loss twice in a row now while trying to keep that spot they are holding. There's a reason why they are only +1... that means moneyline for me.

Had a good rest yesterday.
I like your picks @stadus, might copy some of them.

We have 10 games. Here are my picks for today.
Denver Nuggets - Cleveland Cavaliers - Denver Nuggets -5.5 - copied from @stadus. Yeah, I don't Coach Malone would just let this become a third losing streak especially at home.  This game is starting in 1 hour and 30 minutes as of time of writing.
Washington Wizards - Miami Heat - Miami Heat (-10.5)
Charlotte Hornets - Los Angeles Clippers - Los Angeles Clippers (-12.5) - They are finally winning again and they have the momentum. I bet that spread will be covered easily if they will play right.
Brooklyn Nets - Los Angeles Lakers - Los Angeles Lakers (-4.5) - Every win is important for this team. With the bench stepping up their game, they can win this.
New York Knicks - Oklahoma City Thunder - New York Knicks (-1.5) - This is an entertaining matchup. I will definitely watch it.
Sacramento Kings - Utah Jazz - Sacramento Kings (-10.5) Copied from @stadus too but adjusting the spreads below -10 only.

Good luck everyone.

I missed today's game but I have got my picks on yesterday's game here are the results, I got only 1 win and 2 losses but still, it was a really great game that was

Indiana Pacers VS Los Angeles Lakers - WON

We can see that LeBron James and Anthony Davis are struggling maybe because of their injuries it was likely a closed game in the 1st half, and then the 2nd half was imminent when James and Davis were not available anymore and are struggling in that situation we can see that the Indiana Pacers has a high chance in getting this win for sure T.J. McConnell, Tyrese Haliburton, and Pascal Siakam was really gaining the upper hand in this game

Denver Nuggets VS Minnesota Timberwolves - LOSE

Even though Nikola Jokic has something like a Wrist injury he still got his team into a fighting chance but due to Jamal Murray not playing and with Jokic's Wrist injury it was eventually trampled by the Minnesota Timberwolves, and it was Rudy Gobert, Mike Conley Jr., and Anthony Edwards efforts that make the Timberwolves won this game.

Sacramento Kings VS Dallas Mavericks - LOSE

This was really a close game between the Kings and the Mavericks Despite the efforts of Kyrie Irving who gave his all in this game and Luka Doncic's gameplay in making a pass those assists were really amazing and the tandem of Irving and Doncic were proven very effective even with the efforts of the Sacramento Kings spreading the score to most players it was not enough as it was really a close game were the Mavericks efforts was not wasted.

Lots of good games on today.  Coming off a winless night a couple nights ago I need to hit it big today.  Chasing the losses and doubling my bets.  Here is my 3 I'm on so far:

Nuggets -4.5 at home.  Seems like a suspect line but I will bite.  Nuts at home I will take em.

Lakers -6.5.  Just don't believe in the Nets.  Late season push Lakers win by double digits here.

Mavericks -2.5.  I don't like betting against the Rockets right now but they can't win them all.  Think Dallas matches up well here and break their run.

Enjoy the games and good luck!

Updated record 50(W)-50(L)..... 50%

2-1 again and I'm back to 50%.. not yet in the profit side but we will continue to try.

Early picks for the games later.

Nuggets -5.5..
2 straight losses at home, it will not happen again and I'm seeing this one a double digit win for the Nuggets despite Mitchell being back. last game he only scored 12 points from a poor shooting night, so I guess he is not 100% back yet.

Rockets +2.5
They are hosting the Dallas which is also in a winning streak, but I don't know, I just like the Rockets here to cover or even win.

Kings -12.5
After a disappointing performance against Dallas, I think they are again gonna have a blowout win against the Jazz who are currently at 8 losing streak. This team struggled on the road, so I would not be surprise if the Kings will win by 20 or more.

We'll see...  I think the Bucks will own the Hawks.

Today's action really doesn't give you much to think about.  I guess unless you think the Hawks will pull off an upset.  I'm not a huge fan of the Orlando Magic either but they're playing well and the Grizzlies are awful so that should be a decent bet.  All together, I'm surprised the odds are as high as they are on this one.  I think it's a decent bet to follow to be honest.

New Orleans Pelicans - Boston Celtics
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Boston Celtics

Orlando Magic - Memphis Grizzlies
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Orlando Magic

Atlanta Hawks - Milwaukee Bucks
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Milwaukee Bucks

Odds
2.49

I love all the picks but I'll tail this one. This is just likely a gift for us bettors because Memphis has no more business in wining, they are already out. See, most teams that are already eliminated are not winning anymore, so there's no question that the Magic will win here, and I like that the spread is high, it looks confusing to others but actually an easy bet to make.
