I was surprised to see the Wizards making some good runs to come within distance in the 3rd Quarter, but just like they were against te 76ers, the Knicks were quick to quench the fire before it became a wildspread, and closed out the game perfectly.

Pacers vs Celtics was just another interesting encounter as it often is, but there were quite a number of strange circumstances like huge foul troubles, I'd say it took a whole lot of discipline for the Celtics to have won this game with a lot of help from their bench and role players stepping up when it mattered most.

Just like I anticipated; the Utah Jazz were eventually too hot to handle for 76ers without their Big man, Paul Reed did put up a good performance but we all know how much of a void Embiid's impact in this team is for Reed to ever think of filling.

Thanks but currently not looking so good on either bet. Philly down 1 at halftime and the colts down 7-3. Still a long way to go in both but not the start I was hoping for.

This Knicks prediction by @ralle14 was right on the money. They are up 20 points and just slaughtering this Wizards team. 63-43 at the half.
Wish I took them and put them in a solid acca along with my NFL prediction which I am also confident with and currently in-progress at the same time as this NBA match.

Good luck to us both with our NFL pick @yahoo62278

I got Philly to win on the moneyline tonight along with an NFL game. Philly was a big favorite, but without Embiid I was never gonna give the 6 points that the line is. Hoping Maxey can take over the game and get them a win.

Yeah, no pick would make more sense, especially with the Knicks playing against an horrible Washington Wizard team with no bearing.

I think I fancy the Boston Celtics a lot today too, they're up against a good Indiana Pacers team, but there is a score to settle for them, I hope they don't rely on their usual 3s and zero paint points today.

Philly without Embiid isn't something I'm very confident of, even though I'll back Tyrese Maxey on every props line he's got!

Almost every team playing today is on a back to back, and the only team i'm confident about is the Knicks, as they're hitting threes like prime Warriors yesterday against the Sixers.



I also liked the Pacers against the Celtics, thinking the points are too generous from the bookies, but I don't want to underestimate the Celtics since they only need a good shooting day to break the Pacers' current win streak.

I like the knocks too but the line is upwards of 10 on the road and the second game of a back to back.  I'm a knicks fan and feel like chucking on them but this feels like a trap game.

What I am loading up on is betting on Philly, embid over 35.5 points and embid over 12.5 points.  After getting slaughter at home last night I kmwo he is going to come out ball dominating.  Can easily see him take 25 shots and 10+ free throws tonight.

I'm thinking tonight to place a bet on Pacers ML ( 6th straight consecutive win last night so pretty much I can't bet against them ) but also Knicks who are playing awesome basketball right now and looks like a safe bet. I would have trow a bit of a joker here with Jazz covering the spread points but I can't trust this team while they play away + they really can't guard Embiid.

I guess that it's already on social media on what he said because he's not used to his maximum potential. Is he eligible to ask and get traded for the other teams?

Kerr really has to give chance to everybody and as JK said that it's like the tradition whenever they get into a crucial play, most of them won't get more playing time and leaves it to the veterans.

What I've read again with the Golden State Warriors is their preparation in trading Chris Paul. If this is going to be a real thing, that's sad for this guy but I guess he'll be utilized and will be used more if partnered with young aspiring superstars.

The result for my Bet and prediction for game Yesterday, here is the result for my bet on Yesterday's game,

Denver Nuggets VS Orlando Magic SCORE 120 - 122 - LOST

The Orlando Magic got a great start but the Denver Nuggets had already foiled their plan and soiled and made a very unlikely lead 1st half ended with the Nuggets leading the game, and with that, I thought that the Nuggets would win this but the magic tied the game in the 4th quarter, and it was a close game for the Nuggets and the Magic, it was a tied game until the lead has gone down to 2 where the magic is in the lead it was Jamal Murray that are getting to tie the game but it was a missed and so the game ended with the Magic won the game, Cole Anthony got 23 points, Jalen Suggs got 27 points and Paolo Banchero has a triple-double of 10 rebounds 11 assist and 32 points,

Houston Rockets VS Minnesota Timberwolves SCORE 95 - 122 - WIN

The Houston Rockets might have had a great start but it was a clear win for the Minnesota Timberwolves from the 1st half to the 2nd half the Rockets could not make any lead at all it was a highlight show for the Timberwolves because from their lead on the 1st quarter, they didn't let the Rockets got another lead and for this game, the Timberwolves, both Naz Reid and Jaden McDaniels got 16 points, Karl Anthony Towns got 22 points and Anthony Edwards got 24 points,

Golden State Warriors VS Detroit Pistons SCORE 113 - 109 - WIN

Well, even though the Golden State Warriors won this game it was a close call for them to lose this game aswell, but the Golden State Warriors refused to give the win to the other team, the 4th quarter is proven for the Warriors, and that the team becomes very great within this time, and for sure Steve Kerr has given more minutes to Jonathan Kuminga but still 11 points for him is not that worthy, with this, Dario Saric has 17 points, Klay Thompson, got 11 points, and Stephen Curry that is 26 points,

Sacramento King VS Toronto Raptors SCORE 135 - 130 - WIN

The Sacramento Kings got a decent amount of lead until the 4th quarter when the Toronto Raptors decided that they could make a turnaround, but still, the Sacramento Kings didn't let the Toronto Raptors take any lead any further and the Sacramento Kings managed to stop the goaler, Harrison Barnes got 16 points, Keegan Murray has a double-double of 12 rebounds and 18 De'Aaron Fox got 24 points while Domantis Sabonis has a triple-double of 15 rebounds 11 assist, and 24 points,

Damn, the Golden State Warriors almost lost that game against the Detroit Pistons. They had a good 11-point lead despite the bad start of both Klay Thompson and Steph Curry. Thankfully, Steph Curry opened up his 5th gear and started becoming a monster on his distance shots. That's how the greatest three-point shooter performs in crucial moments. Sadly, all the starting spreads were not covered. That is -10.5 if I remember it correctly.

Here are my results for today.
Indiana Pacers - Atlanta Hawks - Indiana Pacers (-1.5) Won! Big time. The Pacers blew out the Hawks by 34 points.
Brooklyn Nets - Oklahoma City Thunder - Oklahoma City Thunder (-3.5) Lost. Wow, That was unexpected. So that's why the spreads are low.
Philadelphia 76ers - New York Knicks - Philadelphia 76ers (-3.5) Lost. Very unfortunate.
Chicago Bulls - Charlotte Hornets - Charlotte Hornets (10.5) Lost. 13-point lead by the Bulls. Close but still a loss.
New Orleans Pelicans - Los Angeles Clippers - Los Angeles Clippers ML Won. Yeah, I was right. The Clippers are still hot.

2/5 on my early bets. Bad. Luckily I took the Suns' bet to split it. But I lost one more bet for the Warriors as they didn't cover the spread. 
Congratulations to all the winners today.

It's a massive blowout across a busy night in the NBA today, I really hate this kind of night with early blowout, you get players sitting out entire 4th Quarter right after sitting out half of the 3rd too, and players Over/Under 35 points ends the game with just 15 or thereabout and average 35 minutes guys getting barely over 20 minutes.

indiana pacers vs atlanta hawk
An easy match for the indiana pacers. until half time or the second quarter ends the indiana pacers have won 24 points 80-56. currently the indiana pacers are ranked 5th in the eastern conference while the atlanta hawks are ranked 10th.
with a 24 point lead I think the indiana pacers will win this match. but the ods are really small at only 1.02

I cannot quit pondering the match. How the Nuggets had managed the lead and won. The Warriors were robbed of a victory, as you said, they lack the energy and cannot adapt to that of the Nuggets.

I was afraid to wager opposing the Warriors and I would not pick any teams clashing with the defending champions. I jumped and shouted when Jokic sunk the buzzer shot. But you are correct, that was an unbelievable shot for Jokic. Not making it could be over 90%. Everyone anticipated overtime, and I agree that the Nuggets having momentum can compensate for the handicap.

Only us bettors with the -3.5 or higher handicap were hoping for that miss. Most of the Nuggets bettors were relieved it landed, as the initial handicap was -2.5 points.

I have the same thoughts about their handicap against the Nets, it's unexpectedly low when both teams are heading in the opposite direction, or maybe we're leaning heavily on OKC due to their recent form.

The bookies could be expecting the Nets to put up a close match as they've already had close losses against decent teams (Bucks, Nuggets, Clippers) in their previous home matches.



Edit: My OKC ticket is dead, and the bookies are on point with this one.

While I haven’t read of the statement made by Kuminga, it really can’t be nothing but an extremely bad PR for his young career, we all see Jordan Poole say he’s playing Basketball for the first time without after left Warriors, you can imagine the level of pressure that is required of these young ones to be able to get a chance in an historic roster such as that of the Warriors, and it’s feels like they just can’t do enough to please Kerr even when public are obviously seeing it differently, what’s wrong with Moses Moody, Saric, even Trayce, I mean Draymond isn’t available right but these still aren’t getting their deserved playing time.

Today I think I like the Boston Celtics beating the Utah Jazz (the Jazz seem to be playing not so great lately), the Minnesota Timberwolves over the Houston Rockets, the Dallas Mavericks over the Portland Trail Blazers, and the Golden State Warriors over the Detroit Pistons.  Nothing too controversial with these picks, but I think they all have a decent chance of landing so in a multi-bet parlay they might pay off for you.  Good luck to everyone and Happy Friday!  Get those wins and enjoy your weekend!

While we still count his contribution to the team but everyone has their prime passing. It's just sad for Kuminga and did he released a statement regarding that last match? he's upset that he wasn't utilized to his best shape during that match.

I won't even say that was a crucial one because that's obviously already a win for them but then, look at how the five played on the floor. They're like they're the one that's chasing instead of them being chased.

Not too cool to see on how they've responded with the come back of Nuggets. It should have been prevented with proper players on the floor and Kerr didn't do any actions or when he did, it's too late.

Celtics , Hawks , Cavs , 76ers are locked in as ML bet for me tonight and hopefully Hawks will continue the momentum they had last night and maybe start a winning streak from here because that is the outcome I see for them at least for a couple of games.
