Fresh off yesterday's parlay win, here's another one that should hit unless something crazy happens.  Nothing too surprising here.  Maybe the Knicks might pose a threat but the rest should be easy wins.  I also placed another side bet parlay on the Kings and Suns to both win.  The odds aren't worth taking that bet, but I think it's as close to a sure thing as it gets (famous last words).

Washington Wizards - Sacramento Kings
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Sacramento Kings

Milwaukee Bucks - Brooklyn Nets
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Milwaukee Bucks

Dallas Mavericks - Utah Jazz
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Dallas Mavericks

Denver Nuggets - New York Knicks
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Denver Nuggets

Phoenix Suns - Atlanta Hawks
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Phoenix Suns

Odds
2.35

I thought I always had it perfect since these favorites really have a good start (except for the OKC), but ending with 5 out of 7 is not bad at all. As I mentioned yesterday, I'm more into favorites as the playoffs is approaching, so I'm still following my strategy with my current picks.

Kings -11
Bucks -10
Dallas -14
Denver -9.5
Suns -9.5

I also caught the end of the Cavs match thinking they'd seal the deal in the final minute, but Rozier came in clutch in the last few possessions.

Thanks, I thought it'd get close when they started with a 59-point first quarter, and then the Raptors made my bet look better as they started to brick half of their shots in the next three quarters.

The Heat vs Cavaliers was play and catch up game like I anticipated, I expected the Heat to be the team playing most of the catch up but it was the Cavaliers that did for most of the game, they left quite late into the 4th Quarter before making my bet a win but that was due to the Cavaliers taking the lead and the Heat had to figure something out, but thanks to an home coming hero in Terry Rozier great statement in the last one minute plus change.

Your Sacramento Kings - Raptors Under was also an easy win for you, the Raptor could hardly keep up the pace against the Kings.

The over ticket I had for the Magic game yesterday somehow landed as a winner with the total ending on exactly 204 points. I had low expectations after their slow first quarter until they decided to speed things up, dropping 50+ points in the next quarter.

I'm aiming for three in a row with this next bet (under 233.5) on the Kings vs. Raptors. I see the Raptors barely hitting a hundred on their recent losses and the Kings can always slow down if they can start to pull away in the first half.



I agree, the only decent one is probably the Cavs match, but it's still risky when the Heat can capitalize on the injuries.

I like a couple of these match ups, I'll be going with the total points spread instead of ML or Handicap

Miami Heat and Cavs being the match with lowest Over 206.5 line @ 1.87 is the most appealing to me, the Cavs are still without Donovan Mitchell but that's hasn't rendered a their offensive awful, so I'll expect them to give the Heat a run for their money, the Heat are without a couple their best defensive players in Bam Adebayo and Kevin Love, so I think the Cavs should have better scoring efficiency and the Heat forcing a keep up momentum.

Portland Trail Blazers vs Los Angeles Clippers
The LA Clippers have fallen off the top of the Western Conference with their recent slump, and this calls for a serious turnaround effort. Especially in their 17 point loss to the Atlanta Hawks, the Clippers didn't put up much of a fight. This shows that losing is inevitable. It's worrying that no Clippers player other than Leonard and George reached double digits and James Harden didn't perform as expected. However, the LA Clippers 2-0 lead over the Portland Trail Blazers this season and their dominance in the last seven games between the two teams could give the LA Clippers a mental edge in this game.
Portland, on the other hand, struggles with ball sharing and falls short. While the recent consistent performances of Anfernee Simons and Deandre Ayton have been promising, Portland is well below league level. In this two game series, which is critical for both the Clippers and the Blazers, I think the Clippers will win based on their in form players and past superiority.

Another 2 and 1 night.  Knicks were dicey once OG was out but they have been playing great team ball lately.  Cavs game shocked me but hey anything can happen...and Boston they are just straight rolling through the season.  Going to be tough for anyone to beat them in a 7 game series.

Tonight I have just one pick and laying it all down on...

The Suns-9.  At home and with a relatively healthy squad I like their shot here at under double digits.

A ton of mismatches today so there wasn't really much to do but bet the favorites.  I left out a couple of games that I thought could possibly go either way but for the most part these games should all go the way we think they will.  It would be a pretty big upset if one of these games was a loser, but with this many games in a parlay it's always a risk.  Good luck!

At this point, it's easier to just select a high spreads like -10 and up as most of the time they'll cover the spread. Typical bettors would probably choose the underdog with a high handicap without realizing that bookies cannot be outsmarted, they set this line like a trap, so either we ride with them or just follow the public perception. I'll choose the big favorites tomorrow with a high spread.

Pacers -9.5
Boston -10.5
Kings -11
OKC -15
Warriors -11
Clippers -12
Suns -9.

let's see how many will will win...

Orlando Magic - Charlotte Hornets - Orlando Magic (-10.5) Win! I told you guys, the Magic is strong.
Brooklyn Nets - New Orleans Pelicans - New Orleans Pelicans (-5.5) Win! They did not even let the Nets get close.
San Antonio Spurs - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks (-7.5) Loss! - Did not cover. The Spurs just keep on fighting back.
Minnesota Timberwolves - Denver Nuggets - Denver Nuggets (-5.5) Loss! Not covered too. The Timberwolves somehow find a way to fight back using McDaniels, Antman, and their bench.

8 games later. Nice. Here are my picks.
Cleveland Cavaliers - Miami Heat - Cleveland Cavaliers (-2.5) - So many injured players on both teams, I guess I'll just take the home team and trust LeVert and Garland to step up their game.
Detroit Pistons - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers (-7.5) - This should be easy.
Toronto Raptors - Sacramento Kings - Sacramento Kings (-9.5) - The Kings need this win to stay in the 6th spot. Might as well blow them out to have a good rest because they will be playing back-to-back road games.
Boston Celtics - Milwaukee Bucks - Milwaukee Bucks (12.5) - Yeah, I'll take that. Giannis is questionable but this is still a decent team.
Portland Trail Blazers - Los Angeles Clippers - Los Angeles Clippers (-10.5)

It's hard to pick. The upper ranks are battling the underdogs. Most lines are -10 upward.
Anyway, good luck to everyone, I might just try during live games for the remaining ones.

And that's what I'm banking with I did put on the bet for the game between the Nuggets and the Wolves. And I'm seeing that in the first quarter alone, it will be at least 60 points. There's is also that chance that the game could go in Overtime if only if ANT was able to make that 3. So right now, he still has a lot to improved specially that moment wherein he could alter the game with that one buzzer shot like what Kyrie did the other day against the Nuggets. And maybe at the back of their mind, not again, lol, that a final shot will decide whether the will win or not as they might go into overtime.

Thanks mate, but then It does feel like a lucky hit, going by the tempo of the game in the 2nd half.

—————————————

A 63-points high scoring 1st Quarter has put the Nuggets-Wolves game on the right path to get your win as well, good luck the rest of the way

^^ Great bet on this one. It's halftime and the score is 65-56. Wolves vs Nuggets is a great game, Over 215.5 for me at 1.80 odds. This could be a high scoring game for me. Although there could be defense playing played specially against ANT as he was on fire in last couple of games. But I doubt that they will or can stop ANT. Just enjoying the first quarter now, Jokic as well have scored some points this early. Usually he starts slow and wanted to involved his team first. So good luck to everyone.

Dallas Mavs looks like one of the solid teams available for today, and Doncic is available for this I’m banking of the Mavericks to take care of business early enough.

I’ve got;

Dallas Mavs -4.5 1st Half @ 1.85



GL!

The totals for the Warriors match yesterday landed easily, as the Knicks kicked it up a notch, dropping 119 points to get the win.  

I'll try another over pick, and this will be for the Magic vs. Hornets match. The total seems to be hovering on the lower side, but I have high hopes that they can push the Hornets to score at least a hundred based on their last h2h, which ended with 240+ points.

Not much in the way of risk today but I didn't like the Minnesota matchup with the Nuggets or the Rockets and the Wizards.  I felt like either of those games could go either way.  A huge longshot might be betting the Wizards and Timberwolves to win, but for whatever reason I wanted to try and get a win instead of playing the odds today.  Good luck!

Brooklyn Nets - New Orleans Pelicans
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
New Orleans Pelicans

San Antonio Spurs - Dallas Mavericks
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Dallas Mavericks

Odds
1.70

Indiana Pacers - Cleveland Cavaliers  - Indiana Pacers (-4.5) - Lost! Damn it! LeVert was punishing them on the offensive end. Hali's three-point shooting was not online.
Philadelphia 76ers - Miami Heat - Miami Heat ML - Lost! Tyrese Maxey is superb. 3 games consecutive with 30 points.
Boston Celtics - Detroit Pistons - Boston Celtics (-13.5) - Win! Blowout game.
Utah Jazz - Minnesota Timberwolves - Minnesota Timberwolves (-4.5) - Win!  Covered.
Sacramento Kings - Memphis Grizzlies - Sacramento Kings (-10.5) - Lost! - Did not cover. I need 1 more point.

But that Kings vs Grizzlies game gave me a good profit.

I am very thankful to that player who fouled Fox in the last seconds of the game despite having an 8-point lead. If not for that, the props will not win. I think it was GG Jackson, it could've been a dribbleout.

Later, 5 games. Here are my picks.
Orlando Magic - Charlotte Hornets - Orlando Magic (-10.5) - Magic is strong!
Brooklyn Nets - New Orleans Pelicans - New Orleans Pelicans (-5.5) - The Nets could sometimes be surprising/inconsistent so I won't go greedy.
San Antonio Spurs - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks (-7.5) - I bet the Mavs are pouring with confidence after that big win against the Nuggets. Luka Doncic is questionable to play.
Minnesota Timberwolves - Denver Nuggets - Denver Nuggets (-5.5) - An angry team, they will probably give their all tonight. If Gobert will not play again, there's a big chance the Nuggets will have an easy win. Twolves are exhausted, they might sit Edwards many times.

Good luck everyone.

I couldn’t help but agree that this look an easy Over ball game, going by the lineup and roster, while Knicks are one of the worse teams to follow on this route, I also think the game will be heavily influenced by how the Golden State Warriors choose to approach this, a good offensive execution might and if the stChef could get cooking early enough the Over could be a certain one by halftime.

That Clippers game yesterday was unfortunate, and i'm glad I skipped it because they've been a hit or miss recently like they lost their groove.

That's ballsy to go for the alternate handicap and Anunoby is out for the Knicks. The under is tempting to grab when they've been slowing down and keeping the scores below 200 points, but i'm trusting my gut on GSW to force the pace and hit the over 210.
