Crashed and burned yesterday.  Took another 4 games tonight:

Dallas on the road +4.5. I hate betting against clevland at home but think kyrie matches up well and should have a dominant night.  30+ points.

Celtics -11.5 against the sixers.  At home and without embid they look lost.  If the Knicks beat them up with their b squad the Celtics should wipe the sixers tonight.

And I can't believe it but I bet Warriors on the road.  I hate betting them on the road but playing against the Wizards I think they will smell blood and take this one down knowing it's a must win from here on out against the lower teams.  Warriors -10.5

Enjoy the games and good luck!

Thanks and congrats on winning that margin bet from the Knicks, i've also noticed some of the weaker teams cover these double-digit spreads more than usual so I thought of taking a shot on the Pistons.

---

I'm also on the Mavs spread, as the Cavs haven't been that consistent with their performance recently while the Mavs could potentially return to their winning ways after losing against the Pacers.



Edit: That final shot from the Cavs was unreal. 

I was just wanted to share this nice win i had yesterday, small stake but decent odds nonetheless. Sabonis was the biggest sweat, with two early fouls in the first four minutes of the game, he came clutch with a monster third quarter though.

Don't have anything planned for today, but if i did, i'd turn to the Hawks guards given Trae's injury. Murray -> assists and Bogdanovic -> 3s.

Minnesota Timberwolves is at the top of the West and has won 7 of its last 10 games. Minnesota Timberwolves won its second game in a row, most recently defeating Brooklyn Nets 101-86 at home. Anthony Edwards led Minnesota with 29 points, Karl-Anthony Towns had 28 points and 9 rebounds and Mike Conley had 14 points. In other words, this was a team that was effective everywhere and in every facet.

At this level of form, the only thing that could cause Minnesota Timberwolves to struggle against San Antonio Spurs is comfort. Maybe it could also be the expanded rotation. San Antonio Spurs is a team with 11 wins in 58 games. Still, they managed to beat Minnesota Timberwolves on January 27th. Minnesota Timberwolves had beaten them with some difficulty when they hosted them at the beginning of December. Of course, a lot has changed over time and with Minnesota Timberwolves in great shape, I don't expect them to make any mistakes.

Here's my pick for today.  Not the greatest odds so I wouldn't follow it if I were you, but I needed to get a multi-game parlay after hitting a few losses in a row.  No games that excite me today with plenty of mismatches to be disappointed with.

Odds

Indiana Pacers - Toronto Raptors - Indiana Pacers (-4.5) - Loss!
New York Knicks - Detroit Pistons - New York Knicks (-10.5) - Loss! Oh c'mon Knicks. Should've blown out the Pistons.
Sacramento Kings - Miami Heat - Miami Heat (8.5) - Win! I was right! The Heat bench is always playing great whenever Coach Spo lets them handle the game. Kings tried to come back in the fourth but were easily recovered by the Heat. Man! I should've gone for an ML. Greedy smile.

Later, 11 games. Wow!
Parlay makers, this is another chance for a high multiplier game.

Here are my picks.
Washington Wizards - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors (-9.5) - A must-win for the Warriors to get that confidence back on the road. Lots of questionable players on the Wizards side.
Orlando Magic - Brooklyn Nets - Orlando Magic (-6.5) - Banchero is questionable for the Magic. Simmons won't be playing for the Nets.
Cleveland Cavaliers - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks (6.5) - This will be a lot of fun to watch. Luka is probable and so is Kleber and Lively III.
Atlanta Hawks - Utah Jazz - Utah Jazz (-1.5) - 4 weeks without Trae Young. I hope Utah knows where they should focus their defense.
New York Knicks - New Orleans Pelicans - New Orleans Pelicans (-1.5) - Zion is questionable and so is McCollum. If they won't play, I guess it will just be a good match.
Boston Celtics - Philadelphia 76ers - Boston Celtics (-10.5) - Without Embiid, I won't trust my money to the 76ers just yet.

Live betting for the remaining games.
Good luck everyone, have a great day.

I guess it's wise to wait for an update, as these two players who are now listed as questionable are starters for the team. Without them, the NYK might struggle against the Pelicans. Although the Knicks are on a back-to-back game, it's a home game where they have an impressive record. I like the Pelicans actually, but I won't bet this early. I'll wait for the latest update, and I might get a high handicap once these two players listed as questionable are officially out.

We have 11 games tomorrow and I haven't made any picks for today's game but will be getting into the game for tomorrow so here are my picks

Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Dallas Mavericks

Cleveland Cavaliers [1.57] - The only injury for the Cavaliers is Ty Jerome which have an Ankle injury, while the Dallas Mavericks have an unhealthy Luka Doncic who is in danger if he is playing in this game or not, and most potential players that can not play for the Mavericks are Josh Green, Maxi Kleber, Dante Exum and Dereck Lively II, last game for the Cleveland Cavaliers was a win against the Washington Wizards from their 2 consecutive losses last game but right now the Mavericks is showing weakness from their 7 consecutive winning games was halted because they lost last game I think this is because of unhealthy players that they have right now, so my pick is the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Atlanta Hawks vs. Utah Jazz

Utah Jazz [2.04] - Trae Young and Onyeka Okongwu and 2 players that can not play for this game and the 2 players that the Hawks needed, while the Utah Jazz just got Otto Porter Jr. can not play due to Not Injury Related problem, so for this game Trae Young is a crucial piece for the Hawks and not having him around could be a potential lost but it could also be a great chance for them but right now against a shinning team that is the Utah Jazz I think they will be having a problem against that so my pick is the Utah Jazz.

New York Knicks vs. New Orleans Pelicans

New Orleans Pelicans [1.75] - Zion Williamson and CJ McCollum are unhealthy for this game and have a potential that they can not play this game while Julius Randle, Mitchell Robinson, and OG Anunoby can not play for this game so there is a disparity for the team to lose this one, while the New Orleans even though there is no Zion Williamson can still manage to win if they have Brandon Ingram and Jonas Valanciunas to the team so my pick for this game are the New Orleans Pelicans winning this game.

It's quite surprising that suddenly the Pistons are starting to improve. I'd say that the Knicks are somewhat overrated now, considering they are heavy favorites even when struggling to beat a team with a bad standing. Great pick, @ralle14, as always. Just like you, I also won on this game, but that was betting on the Knicks to win by 1-5 points, and I just got it right with x5 odds, so it's a great day for me too.


Pacers probably was tired as they just destroyed the Dallas on the road and then came back home to host the Raptors.
Still good game but they just fall short in the 4th quarter giving the Raptors the momentum.

On the contrary, they've almost win this game if not for the referees not calling foul on the Knicks down the stretch, they take a 1 point lead and they have the possession after a missed by Josh Hart, but they've lost it no whistle, they were able to take it back and steal the ball but still the referee didn't call.

So good win for you, you take that risk.

Raptors did won with the score of 130-122. I missed this game though, been beating on the Raptors specially if they are the underdog.

I might regret this bet on the Pistons later. Even though they're one of the worst teams, I still like their chances of covering the spread against the Knicks.

They should lose this game, but i'm banking on them to have a good start and hold in the second half since the Knicks are usually getting outscored in the first half.



Also, BOL on your Raptors and Pacers bets. It's fishy when the Pacers have been doing okay while the Raptors are only given 4-5 points.

detroit is a very weak team this season. if the odds of winning high is better to choose new york nick win. can make the batch warranty definitely win. but if under over total points detroit is hard to guess because detroit can also score a lot in a match.

∆ S. Barnes 30+ PRA / S. Barnes 1+ stocks / Over 235.5 points @1.96 ∆  won

I'm shaving off 10 points off the O/U, which is set at 245.5, expect this to hit with ease. The first two games between the teams smashed the over (similar spreads) with 252 and 263 points, respectively. The Pacers are also on the back end of a back-to-back, which should help Raptors' offense.

Scottie Barnes vs. the leggy Pacers defense, who says no? The Pacers are bottom 5 in the league in opponent points per game given to SF/PF. Barnes has cleared 30+ PRA in 4/L5, including two games against IND this season. I think i should have taken 2+ stocks instead of 1+, Barnes has at least one steal/block in 44 consecutive games...👀

Taking the Knicks tonight and the line at 223.5 and I'm also going to take the under at 223.5.  I can see the Knicks keeping Detroit at around 100 tonight despite the return of some of their guys, grimes, Fourier etc from this month's trade. 

Also taking the Pacers-5.5. I think the rapters have some growing to do with their new team and Pacers take this o e in double digit win.

Seeing if I can keep my losing streak alive.  I guess this is karma for all the parlay wins in a row I was hitting last month.  Easy come easy go.  Here's today's picks...

Indiana Pacers - Toronto Raptors
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Indiana Pacers

New York Knicks - Detroit Pistons

Sacramento Kings - Miami Heat

Sacramento Kings

Odds
2.26

Rsults:
Philadelphia 76ers - Milwaukee Bucks - Milwaukee Bucks (-2.5) - Won! Too easy for the Bucks.
Phoenix Suns - Los Angeles Lakers - Phoenix Suns (-1.5) - Won! This is the first time I saw Grayson Allen shooting some volume in the three-point range. 6/12 for the sharpshooter.
Indiana Pacers - Dallas Mavericks - Indiana Pacers (-1.5) - Won! Myles Turner! 33 points. Wow.
Washington Wizards - Cleveland Cavaliers - Cleveland Cavaliers (-10.5) - Loss! The Cavs had the 12-point lead at one point in the 4th quarter but they got messy and turned the ball over many times which led to a 7-point run for the Wizards, so the spread was not covered.
New Orleans Pelicans - Chicago Bulls - New Orleans Pelicans (-5.5) - Loss! This was just not right. The Pelicans had the lead in the first half.
Houston Rockets - Oklahoma City Thunder - Oklahoma City Thunder (-4.5) - Won! Easy win for the Thunder.
Atlanta Hawks - Orlando Magic - Orlando Magic ML - Loss! Surprised by the Hawks. Jalen Johnson stepping up his game.

Later, 4 games only.
Here are my picks.

Indiana Pacers - Toronto Raptors - Indiana Pacers (-4.5) - Back-to-back home game for the Pacers, I don't think that will be a problem.
New York Knicks - Detroit Pistons - New York Knicks (-10.5) - Brunson can somehow carry the team. He might go nuts in this home game.
Sacramento Kings - Miami Heat - Miami Heat (8.5) - Looks like a trap for me. We have seen the Heat win games using their bench, I will take the +8 just to be sure.

Good luck everyone, have a great day.

I love the Miami Heat moneyline here too. Getting +7.5 points even on the road is just too attractive for me. And with their win streak, there's no reason to bet against them. Similarly, with the Miami Heat, the Sacramento Kings are also on a 3-game win streak. However, in the 2 games they won against Denver and the Spurs, the winning margin was only 4 and 5, so this +7.5 might be a gift.

updated recordUpdated record 20-20 (50%) ^{back to 50%, small improvement but getting better} 

Clippers not so good in that game, I thought they were complete but turns out PG was missing. But regardless, I think they can beat the kings at home but they are not ready for it, still a profitable day though, so let's move forward.

1- Miami Heat +7.5
They have perfected their last 3 road games, so I'm wondering why they are this underdog, but regardless I'm still riding the trend though, if they will lose at least they'll cover, even without Jimmy I believe.

2-Knicks -11
Playing at home with an impressive record, I think they can handle the Pistons. Lost last game to the Celtics, they'll bounce back this game.

3-Pacers -6.5
2 consecutive wins at home with a huge margin, they should win here and cover even they are on a back to back game.

Tossing another parlay out there to see if I can keep my losing streak alive.  Nothing too controversial here.  I didn't bet the Lakers/Suns because I think that could go either way, but I'll be watching.

11 games! Wooh!

One game is about to start in a couple of hours.
Philadelphia 76ers - Milwaukee Bucks - Milwaukee Bucks (-2.5) - Sorry Philly, I don't think they can handle the Bucks without Embiid although Giannis is said to be probable to play.
Phoenix Suns - Los Angeles Lakers - Phoenix Suns (-1.5) - Bradley Beal is out and Nurkic is probable. Well, they still have KD and Booker while the Lakers are filled with injury reports.
Indiana Pacers - Dallas Mavericks - Indiana Pacers (-1.5) - Luka Doncic is probable to play for the Mavs. Jalen Smith and Aaron Nesmith are both out for the Pacers.
Washington Wizards - Cleveland Cavaliers - Cleveland Cavaliers (-10.5) - Mitchell is probable but I doubt they will lose this one. I just hope the spreads will be covered.
New Orleans Pelicans - Chicago Bulls - New Orleans Pelicans (-5.5) - I am trusting the bench of the Pelicans here. Ingram and Zion are questionable to play and McCollum is out.
Houston Rockets - Oklahoma City Thunder - Oklahoma City Thunder (-4.5) - This will be a good one to watch. Both are young teams and I bet it will be a fast-paced game.
Atlanta Hawks - Orlando Magic - Orlando Magic ML - Trae Young out and Okungwu out, this could be a bad day for the Hawks.

Betting live for the last few games.
Good luck everyone. Have a great day.
