Lakers been on a heater and looking to make a push before the playoffs start. No way I would be against them right now. Denver with Murray out is like you said, huge, and gives the advantage to the Lakers.

It was really tempting but it looks like a trap. Looking at the injury report of the Nuggets , there are only 2 main players that are not possibly playing.

Caldwell-Pope - Ques Sat - Personal
J. Murray - Ques Sat - Ankle

if Murray will be out, that would be a huge one, and Lakers will be taking advantage on it especially that they have been doing pretty well in their last 10 games which they have a 7-3 record.

Another clean sweep making it 6 for 6 last six games.  Skipped last night.

Here's my 3 games I took tonight:

Jazz +9.5 against the heat on the road.  This seems like a low scoring tight game.  They will likely lose bit not by double digits me thinks.

Suns -8.5 at home against Houston.  Suns are just too strong for Houston and pull away late.

And give me the over on that game.  233.5. I can see this one ending to the tune of 131-117 type of game.

Good luck and enjoy the games everyone!

I'm going with the Miami Heat beating the Utah Jazz and the Phoenix Suns beating the Houston Rockets today.  Nothing too surprising and probably not worth the bet even as a parlay, but I wasn't feeling the matchups today.  Good luck!  Enjoy your weekend!

I was tempted to throw the Denver Nuggets in there beating the Los Angeles Lakers, but the spread was so close it had me thinking that I must be missing some information about the game (injuries, etc.). 

Congratulations to you too. But I still prefer a perfect day. 

Detroit Pistons - Cleveland Cavaliers - Cleveland Cavaliers (-10.5) - Loss! Very close game. I need one more point.
Philadelphia 76ers - Charlotte Hornets - Charlotte Hornets (10.5) - Won! Thought so. Hornets will not just give it to them that easy.
Boston Celtics - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks (10.5) - Loss! It was a close game in the first half and then the Celtics started making a big gap.
Toronto Raptors - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors (-1.5) - Won! My prediction was spot on, Kuminga was the one who did most of the damage. I am really glad for that young player, he is always stepping up his game and he is learning.
New Orleans Pelicans - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers ML @2.75 Loss! Like I said, it was a risky move.
Minnesota Timberwolves - Sacramento Kings - Minnesota Timberwolves (-4.5) - Loss! That's one heck of a game. I hope you all watched it.

2/6. Rough night.
Recovered my losses through this. Thankfully.


Just 5 games later. One game is starting in 4 hours as of the time of writing.
Here are my picks.
Brooklyn Nets - Atlanta Hawks - Atlanta Hawks ML - Last time I trusted the Hawks I failed. I hope not today.
Miami Heat - Utah Jazz - Miami Heat (-5.5) - The Heat is deep on bench power. They will win this one.
Los Angeles Lakers - Denver Nuggets - Denver Nuggets ML - No Jamal Murray is a problem, MPJ must step up his game. He had been playing in the worst shooting career in their past few games.
Phoenix Suns - Houston Rockets - Phoenix Suns (-10.5)

Good luck everyone. Have a nice day.

Stadus has already moved forward with the new picks. However, I am a bit skeptical about the Heat and Suns due to the high spread. I'm going to tail on the Denver Moneyline since this team has been consistently winning on the LA Lakers' home court.

Actually, Denver already have 7 win streak vs this team, and their last 3 games results are as follows.

Feb 08, '24   114 - 106
Oct 24, '23 119 - 107
May 22, '23 113 - 111

You said it right and once that firepower start to materialize it's tough to beat the top seeded from the east, though Luka and Kyrie really did try to work together but still it's to heavy to carry when the team you are trying to beat is someone who have all the spice all together, and yes, both Warriors and Clippers managed to generate decent profits, time to move forward and again analyze the next games that you'll going to pick for your next bets.

Updated record 24-24 (50%)

Back to 50%, still not profitable now. So let's keep grinding....

1-Denver ML
It was all Denver in the last 3 meetings, so there's no reason to fade the Denver here. Murray btw is questionable, but hopefully he'll play.

2-Miami Heat -7.5
Utah Jazz keep their curse not playing well on the road, so Miami Should have a home win after a long road trip, and hopefully they will cover the spread

3-Suns -9.5
I think we will see the same outcome, Suns will win but this time will cover.

You nailed it right on the Warriors and Clippers, but Dallas ended up as a trap. Luka and Irving did play, but it still ended up as a blowout win by the Celtics. They won by 28 points, which is a big statement against a playoff team and clearly shows that their level now is higher than Dallas (Irving+Luka).

The Celtics utilized their consistent 3-point shooting, at 49%. Where was the defense from the outside?

The losing streak is over!  Not the greatest odds for a 4-game parlay but I’ll take it. I was definitely due. Glad these games all went smoothly. I probably should’ve added in the Boston Celtics and the Golden State Warriors to go along with these picks but I really needed to get a W. Great start to the weekend.

Congrats on your winnings, that Cavaliers game versus the Chicago Bulls was indeed a crazy game it was really a close game both teams were remarkable the game was for the Cavaliers in the 1st half but the Bulls managed to get the gap into 1 point only, that was the time when the Chicago Bulls gameplay have change a lot that the game has gone into double overtime it was really a crazy game, I thought that the game will just continue endlessly it was really crazy.


WOW! That was one crazy win you got there congrats I have made a bet but it was 2 out of 3 last game I was OK with the results but with your bet that was really an amazing sight didn't a bet for today's game but I will make a bet later, but busy with something right now, anyway here is the results of my bet last February 29.

Indiana Pacers vs. New Orleans Pelicans - WIN

Toronto Raptors vs. Dallas Mavericks - LOST

Denver Nuggets vs. Sacramento Kings - WIN

Trying to see if I can break my losing streak tonight.  I stayed away from any games that looked like they might break the wrong way.  Feels like this is a pretty good bet, but time will tell...

Odds
2.55

∆ J. Duren 12+ RA / J. Duren 1+ stocks @1.75 ∆  won

I locked this early in the day in the hopes that Donovan Mitchell will not play (he has missed a couple of games due to knee soreness, and the Cavs just played a 2OT game against Chicago, so i wouldn't be surprised if he is rested). If Mitchell does not play, this will most likely be a low-scoring game, which should help the Pistons stay in it for long. My main concern for Duren is his minutes, which are directly impacted by whether he gets into early foul trouble or not. If he gets 30+ minutes i'm sure he is covering the 12+ RA, he's cleared the line in 5/L5, 1+ stocks in 4/L5.

Charlotte Hornets - Milwaukee Bucks - Milwaukee Bucks (-10.5) - Win! Covered. Although that made me a bit terrified for a time there.
New York Knicks - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors (-2.5) - Win! Warriors played well at distributing the ball. Nice.
San Antonio Spurs - Oklahoma City Thunder - Oklahoma City Thunder (-10.5) - Loss! 6 winning streak broken in an unexpected way/opponent. Wemby was awesome at this game.
Phoenix Suns - Houston Rockets - Phoenix Suns (-10.5) - Loss! Did not cover. Suns won by five points only.
Denver Nuggets - Miami Heat - Denver Nuggets (-2.5) - Win! I was right. Miami Heat was actually lucky Murray was hurt in the first half. The Nuggets still covered the spreads somehow.
Los Angeles Lakers - Washington Wizards - Los Angeles Lakers (-10.5) - Loss! The Wizards fought back and made it to overtime but Lebron was just too much for them.
4 of 6. Not bad.

---

Later, 9 games.
Here are my picks.

Detroit Pistons - Cleveland Cavaliers - Cleveland Cavaliers (-10.5) - LeVert and Mitchell are both questionable to play but I think they can still manage with their twin towers right there to defend and attack at the rim. Allen and Mobley.
Philadelphia 76ers - Charlotte Hornets - Charlotte Hornets (10.5) - Embiid is not even back yet. The Hornets are being underestimated here. I will take that +10 if ever something goes wrong. They had a good 4 game-winning streak before the playoffs.
Boston Celtics - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks (10.5) - They always put Luka Doncic on a questionable status and yet he plays. I hope he plays tonight.
Toronto Raptors - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors (-1.5) - The Warriors had been playing great basketball. I would like to see Kuminga do more damage against the Raptors.
New Orleans Pelicans - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers ML @2.75 - Risky, but could be rewarding.
Minnesota Timberwolves - Sacramento Kings - Minnesota Timberwolves (-4.5) - Twolves are on their 3rd winning streak, it might continue.

Going for live betting on the remaining games again.
Good luck everyone and have fun.

Updated record 22-23 (49%)

1-1 that day. Suns was a winner early on but then Rockets made a strong come back and Suns failed to cover the spread.

Moving on,

1- Dallas +10..as per report, Luka is questionable, but Dallas with Irving is still a good team. I think +10 is too much to be given for the playoff team like Dallas. Maybe due to the win streak of the Celtics that's why they are overvalued.

2-Warriors -3 ...No stopping for the Warriors, they need this consistent win so they'll get back to the playoff spot.
3-Clippers -15... A must win for them and I think they'll dominate here.

We have the same pick but I still have feeling that Miami might win against the Nuggets. Remember the last game between the Kings and the Miami Heat? The Heat won without eight of their players due to suspension and injuries. Anyway, I'm still going with the Denver Nuggets for the rematch of the 2023 NBA Finals teams.

For those three games you didn't provide here my picks Golden State Warriors, Brooklyn Nets & Orlando Magic. NY Knicks still struggling 3-7 in their last 10 games.

Figured Dallas would take care of business after that bad loss.

Tonight's games:

Bucks -11.5 away at Charlotte.  Charlotte is just terrible.  Maybe they don't cover but I have to bet the Bucks here.

Can't bet against my knicks usually but how can't I here.  Golden state -4.5 and brunson might not play again.  Topped with 3 other starters out and you have a bench squad who won't compete against the dubs starters.

Last give me the Nuggets-4.5 at home.  Heat on a west coast trip and a tight spread.  Think Denver takes this one here.

Good luck and enjoy the games people.

Even though I have said those players will not play I am still saying those things even though they are listed as that this reply may be late because this is already a day-old game, here is the result for the game last February 28, and I think that the New York Knicks have struggled a lot against the New Orleans Pelicans it was a clear win for the Pelicans even if the home advantage was with the Knicks the Pelicans still manage something even great so here is the result of my pick.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Dallas Mavericks - WIN

Cleveland Cavaliers [1.57] - The Cavaliers have won against the Dallas Mavericks but it was a pretty much neck and neck situation for this game it was really close beyond compare, but still, the Cleaveland managed to struggle this game as they get their win, still a great game to watch.

Atlanta Hawks vs. Utah Jazz - LOST

Utah Jazz [2.04] - The only loss that I have had, it was a close game, and even though the Hawks but still it was my lost from not going with the favorites,

New York Knicks vs. New Orleans Pelicans - WIN

New Orleans Pelicans [1.75] - Well the two players that I have mentioned still didn't play in this game and the New Yorkleans have peak to their performance but they have still managed

I haven't won a bet all week.  Surely this has to be my worst losing streak after an amazing start earlier in this year.  Obviously the way to go is with some long odds on another parlay.    Go big or go home!  Good luck out there.

Later, we have 8 games listed.
Here are my picks.
Charlotte Hornets - Milwaukee Bucks - Milwaukee Bucks (-10.5) - Giannis is probable to play.
New York Knicks - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors (-2.5) - Wiggins was ruled out due to personal reasons. Brunson for the Knicks is questionable to play.
San Antonio Spurs - Oklahoma City Thunder - Oklahoma City Thunder (-10.5) - 6th winning streak for the Thunder, they are playing great again and all the young players are healthy.
Phoenix Suns - Houston Rockets - Phoenix Suns (-10.5) - Nurkic is probable to play for the Suns. While the Rockets had been losing their games.
Denver Nuggets - Miami Heat - Denver Nuggets (-2.5) - I've been trusting the Miami Heat for the last few games, not today.
Los Angeles Lakers - Washington Wizards - Los Angeles Lakers (-10.5) - After that great win against the Clippers, I bet their confidence is pouring.

Good luck everyone. I hope we win our bets.
