Detroit Pistons - Orlando Magic - Orlando Magic (-6.5) - Win! Franz Wagner went wild.  38 points for the German.
Washington Wizards - Phoenix Suns - Phoenix Suns (-10.5) - Win! A blowout game. Bradley Beal went nuts against his former team. 43 points.
Charlotte Hornets - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers (-8.5) - Win! This was a fun game at the start until the Pacers put a gap.
Miami Heat - Los Angeles Clippers - Los Angeles Clippers (-2.5) - Win! I was right, I don't believe in the Miami Heat just yet.
Minnesota Timberwolves - Houston Rockets - Minnesota Timberwolves (-5.5) - Win! Gobert played although he was questionable before the game.

Perfect on singles!
Sadly, I want to win this one parlay more than anything, but the Bucks broke one leg and then the Nuggets also did not cover. Both games are the last games and the cash-out option was not available.

That could've put the cherry on top.

Anyway, we have 6 games later.
Here are my picks.
Cleveland Cavaliers - Sacramento Kings - Cleveland Cavaliers (-4.5) - Jarrett Allen is questionable to play. I guess that's why the spreads are low.
Charlotte Hornets - Los Angeles Lakers - Los Angeles Lakers (-10.5) - Exhausted Hornets. I just hope the spreads will be covered.
Brooklyn Nets - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors ML - Wiggins is doubtful and Saric is probable. But they still have Steph, Draymond, Kuminga, and Klay. That should be enough.
Atlanta Hawks - Los Angeles Clippers - Los Angeles Clippers (-1.5) - Of all my bets for the Clippers, it is only once that they failed me. The spreads are low which could be a trap, but I don't mind.
New Orleans Pelicans - Toronto Raptors - New Orleans Pelicans (-10.5)

Passed the 76ers vs the Mavs. I'll watch that live and see if I can spot a window to get a good live bet.
Good luck everyone, enjoy your day.

I have 1-1, hence my updated record is  YTD 4-3  (57%)

Early picks.
First pick : Cleveland -5.
They are on a winning streak now. With a good home record which is 17-8, I believe they can beat the Kings who have been winning their last 2 road games.

2nd pick : Atlanta +3
Trae Young stays hot and will continue to prove that he is an all star caliber. Clippers here came from a big win vs the Heat and they are on a back to back game. I'll choose the home team here and a well rested team.

3rd pick : Warriors ML
Curry had a strong game vs the Hawks, though they loss, I still believe that they have a good chemistry now and they can win this game with Curry still leading the team.

It has to be perfect for the bet to win. It's just that Toronto aren't giving up, they trade baskets with OKC and both teams could have been tired already so it's hard to win 9 points in a double overtime. At least the bet of ralle14 did not lose easily as he saw his team fighting back to win. I guess this 0.5 is still huge because not only him, I also experience that kind of loss today. I bet on Nuggets -9.5 live and it turned out they won by 9 points. 



That's correct. Bucks beat the Dallas and then travel after that for a back to back game. Maybe if they didn't start strong and able to conserve their energy, they'll be able to match somehow the energy of the well rested team that are trying to defend their home court.

Next stop for the Bucks is vs the Suns, they'll have a rest so this game should be interesting to watch.

Great comeback by the OKC team, the game went into double overtime to settle who wins, you bet come alive, however, the score is 135-127, very close bet. If SGA would have score 3 points and not drive for easy 2, it could have been 9 points lead.


Good live bet, the Jazz out scored them in the fourth quarter with a huge 40-13 and that is the deciding factor. Nice analysis as this is the case for the Bucks as they don't have the legs against the Jazz is the final quarter.

Come on, why would the OKC not give it to you? That's disappointing, man. You lost by only 0.5. They made a comeback to give you some hope, but in the end, they still lost, failing to cover the spread. Just almost! But still fell short.

Meanwhile, looks like my bet here (Jazz ML)  came alive as they are only down by 1 point in the 4th quarter, hopefully it will not fall short though. 

The sequence of events was unbelievable from the side of OKC. They just kept on chucking threes until the Raptors started missing. The Raptors failed to take advantage of the opportunity to close it out in the first OT and I thought they were about to end it there with a bucket in the last few seconds.

It was all OKC in the second OT, but not enough to cover my ticket. 

It's not dead yet as they were able to come back from that big deficit. Now, the game went to OT, there's a chance for them to cover the spread as we have extra 5 minutes to make it happen. Good luck mate, this bet just came alive again.

I had some live bets taken, I got the Utah Jazz moneyline @3.05 as I believe that the Bucks will get tired in the 2nd half after a strong start and the home team will take this win at home.

They're doing so well within the first three quarters, and somehow it got worse in the fourth quarter, allowing the Lakers to go on a run and get away with a win.

I'll fade the Raptors today as they've been accumulating losses, and surely OKC, the second-best team covering the spread get the job done.


Edit: My ticket is so dead, OKC's offense isn't clicking and the Raptors are keeping it rolling.

You got good lines on the Clippers and Minnesota

I didn't bet yesterday, I had a good rest. We need that too.

Later we have 9 games. Wow.
Here are my picks for today. Oh! and one game will start in 5 hours.

Detroit Pistons - Orlando Magic - Orlando Magic (-6.5) - I increased the spread but I could've taken the -4.5. I just think the Magic could somehow cover that. No problem with their roster, all are clean and without injuries.
Washington Wizards - Phoenix Suns - Phoenix Suns (-10.5) - No Kyle Kuzma for the Wizards, they will have a hard time finding their offense. The Suns will probably blow them out.
Charlotte Hornets - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers (-8.5) - So many questionable players in the Pacers team, I don't like the -11 so I put it down a bit.
Miami Heat - Los Angeles Clippers - Los Angeles Clippers (-2.5) - After the Heat won two games, I still don't believe they can defeat a strong team like the Clippers especially when they are healthy like this and trying to create another win streak. We will see.
Minnesota Timberwolves - Houston Rockets - Minnesota Timberwolves (-5.5)  - Rudy Gobert is questionable to play. Let's see if KAT could cover for him. I am also taking the Over 219.5. I think it is reachable.

Good luck everyone, have a good day.

Unfortunately, of all the teams that the Knicks are going to lose their winning streak, it's against the Lakers. Yeah, the back to back games might have hurt the Knicks here, we all know that Randle is out already and so perhaps some of those who played great last night, their legs are still very tired from that great come back win against the Pacers.

But still great effort for them, they can start a new streak.

As for the Lakers, AD though, might be another DPOY award for him as shown in this game.

Updated record : YTD 3-2 (60%)

Early picks on the games later.

First pick : Miami Heat +4.
Miami are two in a row after a losing streak, therefore I'm not gonna bet against them. They are playing at home against a strong team, but hopefully they'll be able to cover the spread. Clippers could blow them out if they'll not play well, but if they compete, they might loss but will be a close game.

2nd Pick : Toronto +9.5
OKC are not so good with weaker teams, so I'm expecting the Raptors to cover, or maybe upset the home team.

Lakers needed a win, and a rest for AD and Lebron was needed to make them refresh the team. They end the winning streak  of the Knicks but we know they are due for a loss anytime since they are undermanned. Still good effort for the home team though, they didn't stop playing despite the lead of the Lakers are comfortable enough that it's almost impossible for them to come back.

Lebron and Reaves both score over 20 points, while AD was limited in points with 12 only but huge on the defensive end.. 18 rebounds and 4 blocks.


They miss other players too, not only Embiid. I think the first quarter was the turning point, they didn't start strong, instead they allowed the Nets to outscore them 38-22, that's a huge deficit.

Los Angeles Lakers ended the nine straight wins of New York Knicks. I had a -4.5 wager on Knicks, but I expected Lebron and Davis to play. I believed that Knicks is simply the more difficult team to beat, the streak and more energy because the squad is playing at MSG. Brunson and DiVincenzo had a great night, but their teammates could not contribute.

76ers also lost today. I was expecting the team could deal Nets even without their leading player Joel Embiid. Fortunately, I have one win today. Despite playing four matches in six days, Kings prevailed over Bulls. After the victory over Indiana yesterday, the team has no rest.

In a similar fashion, but with Warriors. Ruined my parlay. :/ Steph got 60 points but it wasn't enough to beat the Hawks. I had added the Nets to cover the spread and that worked out but that's irrelevant now because of the Warrior's loss in overtime.

I didn’t get a chance to bet the games today but I’m bummed to see the Timberwolves lost by 2 last night and screwed up my parlay… Probably just as well because I would’ve taken the 76ers to beat the Nets and that did not happen.

With the line going down even further, they'll probably play.

I guess i'm lucky to get the Knicks spread down to -2.5, and even without Anunoby, the Knicks should still beat the Lakers and extend their win streak.



I also doubt the Lakers could have another field day in the 3-point range and get away with it for the second time.

3-2 last night.  Tonight I'm going in hard on the Knicks-4.5 I have a hunch AD and Bron are both playing.  For one it's a prime time game and it's at MSG.  Players love playing there and the Knicks are surging so they need all the fire power they can get.  With that being said their defense has been amazing since the turn of the new year.  I expect it to continue and keep the Lakers under 100 tonight.

That outcome was absolutely nuts!
Think I heard the odds were 9.00x on Lakers to win that game without their two key players in the game.
They were announced as injured pre-game but they looked fine and jumping around when their team was ahead by 9.
So you know how that goes!
Think they were just scratched so to rest up prior to the All-Star weekend is all this whole nothing burger was about in the first place.

Joel Embiid might not get MVP of the year if he doesn't return playing according to some rule I heard about late last night that if he doesn't play a certain about of games during a season he can not get a chance to get MVP in that same season.
Which is a huge disappointment if true.
