No one is sharing tonight?

The most interesting game tonight is the bucks vs Lakers.

What are your thoughts here, Lakers are +2 points on the road, will Bucks bounce back from their lose against the Nets?

The nets should close this game already. It's been OT after OT and Sexton keeps putting Cavaliers back in the game. Another 5 minutes still to play. Hopefully the big 3 ends up winning their first game together.  If Cavaliers wins this game, they have Sexton to thank. 42 points in this game already.

Edit: Nets lost and same with my bet. Lost the bet but had so much fun watching the game.

Unbelievable, they are -10.5 and they lose by 12 points.. How good the moneyline for the Cavaliers, who did bet on the ML?
No bet is really safe, even the weakest team in the NBA against the stronger, you cannot tell they'll win easily.

That's a very determine Cavs out there.

Went to second OT and I was thinking that Nets already have this game, I still can't believe that last 3 point that leads the Cavs into 2nd OT, though it should be a much earlier win if the ref did not call it a foul from Harden as it's clearly a travelling violation. Fair enough for Cavs to win this game.

4) Houston +5.5

I don't like this one, Wall is still out, probably same result, Rockets would still lose.
Suns lose 2 games in a row, they'll probably bounce back and win this one, and I think they'll cover that point spread as well.

I'm on the other side @wheelz1200

Yeah I got ya.  Taking a flyer on this one.  Figure they will start playing with a chip on their shoulders about the whole debacle.  I will goes as far to say they will win so maybe a stab at the money line on this one.  This is one im not super confident about but hey...any given (sun)day anything can happen.

Missed by the half a point.  Houston played well just not good enough, one olidipo shot at the end to miss the spread.  Funny how the game goes 47.5 minutes and the spread is all riding on the last shot anyway.  Went 3-2 last night so not bad.  Only 3 games on tonight already leaning Lakers only giving a point that seems like a must bet.

I'm 0-6 when betting for the Nets and seeing the +10.5 handicap for the Cavs, i thought at first it was attractive but never got the courage to pushed the button lol, how much more for the ML  Grin.

For those who are Nets haters, this is your opportunity as bookies will put tempting odds if they are against below 500 teams like the Cavs.



As what I have observed, Nets does not cover when they are the favorites but they win and cover when they are the underdog, just like their game against the Bucks. You are right, people should go against the Nets in ATS, that's an automatic win. lol

Their ATS record is 7 of 9. that stats means they are unreliable.

It was sure an interesting game to see, both teams played really great and they were very close chances for either team to win in the final seconds of regular time and as well as in the first OT, what a game from Sexton, would I be exaggerating to say he won this for this Cavaliers ?

No, you're not. Sexton was phenomenal last night and nothing short of brilliant. with less than 8 seconds till end of regular time, Nets were ahead with 3 points so I concluded there's no way Cavs will come back until I saw Sexton throw the final 3 point shot to put them back in the game. It's worth noting that Cavaliers's defense was top notch.

I didn't really pay attention to Cavaliers ML but IIRC, it was priced some way between @5.75 to @6.  Nets didn't win, let alone cover the spread.

I usually go for wild bets but I didn't for this one. I didn't have the courage to do so. 
It was -10.5 for Nets to get a regular almost x2 win.
I forgot the number of how much the odds were. 8+ maybe?

Sexton and Osman did a great job in their offensive battle against the trio.
Triple double for Harden and 2 more assists for KD to achieve it but yet Cavs still win.  Grin

My pick : Philadelphia 76ers -5.5 Good luck everyone!

76ers should be a good bet, I suppose  Celtics struggles will continue again tonight, but 76ers still missing a number of stars themselves
could the Under also be worth some punt ?

That's was a win! It got really close with some minutes left, but big a monster performance from Joel Embiid, I'm glad I didn't go for the Under (I wouldn't have with Embiid back in the lineup, though)

J.Allen and T.Prince playing for Cavs vs. their old team, Kyrie's first game back after missing a bunch, first look of Nets big 3 playing together, this should be a good one but i'm not taking bets here, gotta see rotations/minutes/player roles first.

Not really the first we were expecting, was it ? The good thing is that it's really easy for the Nets to closethe gap with a few possession even after quite a gap. I'm still of the opinion that it's going to take a while before they big 3 get unstoppable.

Utah Jazz duly delivered and covered the spread, but my betbuilder went side ways, just short by a rebound from Zion Williamson

Damn, not again, these prop bets can be awfully frustrating sometimes when you get 4-5 selection right, i see Zion didn't play the last couple of minutes in the 4Q, too big of a lead for Utah, i guess?

Yeah! I'm sure you can relate well on this, Zion was replaced with about 3 minutes left of the clock, I'd assume it was because the game already was a lost cause.

I didn't have my usual player props as i was busy and couldn't watch any of the games last night but my side bets came through, refreshing after going 0-3 the previous night, everyone and their mamas was on the Jazz spread, i was too.  Grin

Gl to those having bets, i will take the day off and just enjoy the games, not stressing over player stats and whatnot for once  Smiley Cheesy

I'm also taking a break for tonight, I could use one  Wink

Hit a loss time to start the winning streak again.  Here are todays 5 picks

1) Knicks -2
2) Atlanta -6.5
3) Nets bucks under 239
4) Miami -6
5) Lakers -8.5

Thoughts or comments on these picks?


2-3 for the day started well then flaked out.

Only 2 games on tonight so here is my picks

1) Denver-10
2) Denver game over 220
3) utah -6
4) utah game over 217.5

Thoughts?  Don't feel good about either of the 2 bets but the only ones to chose from.  Good luck everyone

Won 3 of the 4 and pushed on the Denver over pretty happy given i was weary on a couple of those.  Today has a ton of games happening so will do some research and post back my 5 picks for the day.

If not it would have been 2 of 2 night for me.

After a day of rest, I'm back with my daily pick.  Grin

Okay, here's my advance pick again.

Boston Celtics vs Philadelphia 76ers.

My pick : Philadelphia 76ers -5.5 Good luck everyone!

76ers should be a good bet, I suppose  Celtics struggles will continue again tonight, but 76ers still missing a number of stars themselves
could the Under also be worth some punt ?

Hmm... under 216 looks attractive, I'm not betting on it as I already put my bet on the ATS but if I would, I'd pick the under too.
When 2 good teams meet, they usually play some good defense, and I think we will see it in this game.

There is not much many options to choose from for tonight, I'm going with the Utah Jazz - 4.5 vs Pelicans for tonight, I hope they'll cover the -4.5 Spread.
Elsewhere, I've got my betbuilder on the same fixture

Damn! Clarkson is really improving with a high contribution.

Exactly, he is so comfortable with this team, I think they are a championship contender.

I also love the fact that Ingles and Bogdanović are healthy now, hopefully they'll not be injured as I love to see this healthy Jazz in the playoffs.
In addition, Mike Conley has been improving this season too.. I'm sure this Jazz team will surprise us.
