It's quite surprising that suddenly the Pistons are starting to improve. I'd say that the Knicks are somewhat overrated now, considering they are heavy favorites even when struggling to beat a team with a bad standing. Great pick, @ralle14, as always. Just like you, I also won on this game, but that was betting on the Knicks to win by 1-5 points, and I just got it right with x5 odds, so it's a great day for me too.


Pacers probably was tired as they just destroyed the Dallas on the road and then came back home to host the Raptors.
Still good game but they just fall short in the 4th quarter giving the Raptors the momentum.

On the contrary, they've almost win this game if not for the referees not calling foul on the Knicks down the stretch, they take a 1 point lead and they have the possession after a missed by Josh Hart, but they've lost it no whistle, they were able to take it back and steal the ball but still the referee didn't call.

So good win for you, you take that risk.

Raptors did won with the score of 130-122. I missed this game though, been beating on the Raptors specially if they are the underdog.

I might regret this bet on the Pistons later. Even though they're one of the worst teams, I still like their chances of covering the spread against the Knicks.

They should lose this game, but i'm banking on them to have a good start and hold in the second half since the Knicks are usually getting outscored in the first half.



Also, BOL on your Raptors and Pacers bets. It's fishy when the Pacers have been doing okay while the Raptors are only given 4-5 points.

detroit is a very weak team this season. if the odds of winning high is better to choose new york nick win. can make the batch warranty definitely win. but if under over total points detroit is hard to guess because detroit can also score a lot in a match.

∆ S. Barnes 30+ PRA / S. Barnes 1+ stocks / Over 235.5 points @1.96 ∆  won

I'm shaving off 10 points off the O/U, which is set at 245.5, expect this to hit with ease. The first two games between the teams smashed the over (similar spreads) with 252 and 263 points, respectively. The Pacers are also on the back end of a back-to-back, which should help Raptors' offense.

Scottie Barnes vs. the leggy Pacers defense, who says no? The Pacers are bottom 5 in the league in opponent points per game given to SF/PF. Barnes has cleared 30+ PRA in 4/L5, including two games against IND this season. I think i should have taken 2+ stocks instead of 1+, Barnes has at least one steal/block in 44 consecutive games...👀

Taking the Knicks tonight and the line at 223.5 and I'm also going to take the under at 223.5.  I can see the Knicks keeping Detroit at around 100 tonight despite the return of some of their guys, grimes, Fourier etc from this month's trade. 

Also taking the Pacers-5.5. I think the rapters have some growing to do with their new team and Pacers take this o e in double digit win.

Seeing if I can keep my losing streak alive.  I guess this is karma for all the parlay wins in a row I was hitting last month.  Easy come easy go.  Here's today's picks...

Indiana Pacers - Toronto Raptors
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Indiana Pacers

New York Knicks - Detroit Pistons
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
New York Knicks

Sacramento Kings - Miami Heat
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Sacramento Kings

Odds
2.26

Rsults:
Philadelphia 76ers - Milwaukee Bucks - Milwaukee Bucks (-2.5) - Won! Too easy for the Bucks.
Phoenix Suns - Los Angeles Lakers - Phoenix Suns (-1.5) - Won! This is the first time I saw Grayson Allen shooting some volume in the three-point range. 6/12 for the sharpshooter.
Indiana Pacers - Dallas Mavericks - Indiana Pacers (-1.5) - Won! Myles Turner! 33 points. Wow.
Washington Wizards - Cleveland Cavaliers - Cleveland Cavaliers (-10.5) - Loss! The Cavs had the 12-point lead at one point in the 4th quarter but they got messy and turned the ball over many times which led to a 7-point run for the Wizards, so the spread was not covered.
New Orleans Pelicans - Chicago Bulls - New Orleans Pelicans (-5.5) - Loss! This was just not right. The Pelicans had the lead in the first half.
Houston Rockets - Oklahoma City Thunder - Oklahoma City Thunder (-4.5) - Won! Easy win for the Thunder.
Atlanta Hawks - Orlando Magic - Orlando Magic ML - Loss! Surprised by the Hawks. Jalen Johnson stepping up his game.

Later, 4 games only.
Here are my picks.

Indiana Pacers - Toronto Raptors - Indiana Pacers (-4.5) - Back-to-back home game for the Pacers, I don't think that will be a problem.
New York Knicks - Detroit Pistons - New York Knicks (-10.5) - Brunson can somehow carry the team. He might go nuts in this home game.
Sacramento Kings - Miami Heat - Miami Heat (8.5) - Looks like a trap for me. We have seen the Heat win games using their bench, I will take the +8 just to be sure.

Good luck everyone, have a great day.

I love the Miami Heat moneyline here too. Getting +7.5 points even on the road is just too attractive for me. And with their win streak, there's no reason to bet against them. Similarly, with the Miami Heat, the Sacramento Kings are also on a 3-game win streak. However, in the 2 games they won against Denver and the Spurs, the winning margin was only 4 and 5, so this +7.5 might be a gift.

updated recordUpdated record 20-20 (50%) ^{back to 50%, small improvement but getting better} 

Clippers not so good in that game, I thought they were complete but turns out PG was missing. But regardless, I think they can beat the kings at home but they are not ready for it, still a profitable day though, so let's move forward.

1- Miami Heat +7.5
They have perfected their last 3 road games, so I'm wondering why they are this underdog, but regardless I'm still riding the trend though, if they will lose at least they'll cover, even without Jimmy I believe.

2-Knicks -11
Playing at home with an impressive record, I think they can handle the Pistons. Lost last game to the Celtics, they'll bounce back this game.

3-Pacers -6.5
2 consecutive wins at home with a huge margin, they should win here and cover even they are on a back to back game.

Tossing another parlay out there to see if I can keep my losing streak alive.  Nothing too controversial here.  I didn't bet the Lakers/Suns because I think that could go either way, but I'll be watching.

11 games! Wooh!

One game is about to start in a couple of hours.
Philadelphia 76ers - Milwaukee Bucks - Milwaukee Bucks (-2.5) - Sorry Philly, I don't think they can handle the Bucks without Embiid although Giannis is said to be probable to play.
Phoenix Suns - Los Angeles Lakers - Phoenix Suns (-1.5) - Bradley Beal is out and Nurkic is probable. Well, they still have KD and Booker while the Lakers are filled with injury reports.
Indiana Pacers - Dallas Mavericks - Indiana Pacers (-1.5) - Luka Doncic is probable to play for the Mavs. Jalen Smith and Aaron Nesmith are both out for the Pacers.
Washington Wizards - Cleveland Cavaliers - Cleveland Cavaliers (-10.5) - Mitchell is probable but I doubt they will lose this one. I just hope the spreads will be covered.
New Orleans Pelicans - Chicago Bulls - New Orleans Pelicans (-5.5) - I am trusting the bench of the Pelicans here. Ingram and Zion are questionable to play and McCollum is out.
Houston Rockets - Oklahoma City Thunder - Oklahoma City Thunder (-4.5) - This will be a good one to watch. Both are young teams and I bet it will be a fast-paced game.
Atlanta Hawks - Orlando Magic - Orlando Magic ML - Trae Young out and Okungwu out, this could be a bad day for the Hawks.

Betting live for the last few games.
Good luck everyone. Have a great day.

And I made 3 out of 3. Good day after struggling in the couple of days.

That will make my updated record to Updated record 18-19 (49%) ^{good day} 

And moving on for the upcoming games, here are my picks again.

1-Clippers -6.5.. last time they win but did not cover the spread, I miss the winning like 20 points and this might be it at home.
2-Nuggets +1 - Warriors been rolling, however, I like the Nuggets which I believe is the better team.
3-Suns -4... 2 losing streak, they need to get back in the winning track, and if that happen, I'm sure they'll cover

∆ Magic ML / F. Wagner 18+ points @1.66 ∆  X

This is a great spot for Franz Wagner. The Pistons have been terrible at defending the PnR this season, and they give up a ton of points in the paint, which is exactly where Wagner excels. He set a career-high against them earlier this month with 38 points and added 27 in the other game between the two teams. Wagner has covered 18+ points in 7/L10, averaging just over 23 points with a solid 53% FG in that span.

I'm not gonna bet the knicks/Boston game I think it's gonna be a good one.  Knicks are down julius, OG and Mitch from the starting lineup so not a bad bet.

I'm going the other way in the Detroit game, they are pretty bad right now.  Gimme orlando -7.5 I have them.

And Wolves I'm on that one too.  Nets stink and expect them to lose by more than double digits here.  Just hope cam thomas doesn't have one of them freak 40 points games.

Updated record 15-19 (44%) ^{Another losing streak.} 

Still making some picks and let see how this goes.

1- Detroit is on a losing streak again so definitely I'm gonna pick them with the spread of +8. I like a desperate home team to win as well.
2- Boston is just too strong now dominating their opponents, so I'll take the -6.5
3- Wolves on a back to back home game, and might be bouncing back after losing to the Bucks. Against a visiting less defensive Brooklyn Nets, it's Timberwolves -8.5 all day.

Easy money last night think it's gonna be easy money tonight.  Coming out of the break with a loss and a second game of a back to back against a young team.  Spurs should give them enough trouble to keep it to single digits or even come away with a win.  The books seem to always over estimate teams like Lakers, cowboys, yankees.  Easy betting targets.

Starting a fresh journey after the all star break ^{(no more break this time)}

I got these teams winning later.

1- Suns -4. A back to back game but it's a must win in Houston. Bradly Beal Still out, but let Book and Durant take care of the business.
2-Clippers -9 - they are not the Bucks, sure they can beat this undermanned team.
3-Wolves -4.5 - Bucks might continue to struggle and Wolves might still owned them.
4-Lakers -10 - Both teams are playing back to back, but Lakers are back at home, though Lebron is still "Q", I think the home team can handle the Spurs.

Tossing another parlay out there today.  Yesterday's didn't do as well as I'd liked but a new day calls for new fun with the NBA.  I'd never recommend anyone follow my picks because I don't put any real thought behind them, but here they are.

Los Angeles Lakers - San Antonio Spurs
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Los Angeles Lakers

Portland Trail Blazers - Denver Nuggets
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Denver Nuggets

Oklahoma City Thunder - Washington Wizards
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Oklahoma City Thunder

Houston Rockets - Phoenix Suns
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Phoenix Suns

Memphis Grizzlies - Los Angeles Clippers
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Los Angeles Clippers

Total Odds
3.13

Well, you got 1 win and that is the Dallas Mavericks versus the Phoenix Suns, Devin Booker was working pretty much in this game he was really struggling in pursuing a win but Luka Doncic's curse has gotten into the Phoenix Suns once again as he decimated the Suns with a Double-double of 11 assist and 41 points, with a little help from Kyrie Irving, but maybe the recent beef of Luka Doncic has come alive again and was pretty much shown in this game.

Now the Result of my picks for games was Yesterday and it was really awful all my picks were lost this time, and not having an edge with the odds helped.

Philadelphia 76ers vs. New York Knicks

Philadelphia 76ers (1.87) - LOST - I thought that the Philadelphia 76ers would have their way as even though they don't have Joel Embiid I thought they can still do it, but the teamwork and play of Brunson to the team has got a major role for them, as Josh Hart and Precious Achiuwa had a great defensive and offensive rebounding for the team, while Bojan Bogdanovic and Donte DiVincenzo was great in getting those scores when the team needed the most.

Golden State Warriors vs. Los Angeles Lakers

Los Angeles Lakers (2.52) - LOST - Now I thought having the backup of the refs would make the Los Angeles Lakers dominated the game was not really enough, it was the ferociousness of the offense of the Golden State Warriors was really enough to bust that Free Throw contingency that the referees was giving to the Lakers, and Anthony Davis and Lebron James can not get Stephen Curry has shown why he is the goat on this game with the help of Andrew Wiggins and Trace Jackson-Davis the Warriors have conquered even though the Lakers does have the help of the referee's.
