Boston Celtics - Detroit Pistons - Boston Celtics (-14.5) - Lost
The Pistons started well which is the reason why the Celtics didn't go far on their lead.

Chicago Bulls - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers ML - Win
16-point lead, I am an idiot for just taking the ML, I should've taken some spreads.

Minnesota Timberwolves - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks (10.5) - Lost
Without Luka Doncic, the Mavs cannot find a good thing for their offense.

Denver Nuggets - Memphis Grizzlies - Denver Nuggets (-5.5) - Win
Covered without any doubts. Almost a 40-point lead.

Golden State Warriors - Miami Heat - Golden State Warriors (-1.5) - Lost
They tried in the last 6 minutes of the game but it was already too far. Miami Heat at that time is on a good 20-point lead.

Here is a bonus to get a split.

Caught it while the Hornets were in the lead by 7 if I remember it right. I trusted the Lakers could get it back and somehow it worked out according to plan.
Congratulations to all the winners.

I'm confuse, this is for what particular game?

I belive the next game for Detroit will be this December 31 against Toronto. I'm sure they are still the heavy favorite on that game, as usual.
Haven't check the betting odds yet but I saw it on their schedule https://ph.global.nba.com/teams/schedule/pistons/

The odds were around 11 last night and during the game , Detroit had 1.90 odds to win so whoever had Detroit to win and cashed out , I'm sure he is happy even if eventually they lost.

I do have a feeling that Detroit should win a game pretty soon and by the way they are playing lately , I would not be surprised to see them win by the end of the year.

Very bad day for me, I only hit 1 out of 4 bets. I don't get what Wolves can't dominate the Luka-less Dallas Mavericks.  It was suppose to give me an even day. Anyway, I guess moving forward is the only solution here, so I'll be betting for the games tomorrow.

NY Knicks ML @ Orlando Magic
Atlanta ML vs Sacramento Kings
Toronto +8.5 @  Boston Celtics

What are the odds of Detroit winning their game against the number 1 team in the East in Celtics?

So far they are leading them by 1 point with 6 minutes left. It's going to be ironic if Detroit win and snap their losing streak against the best team in the NBA.

Let's see how it goes, line is Detroit to win 2.95.

I think I like the two bets for both the Indiana Pacers, and Golden State Warriors, Indiana Pacer particularly have not been as good as they before and during the in season tournament, but I'll still fancy them ahead of Chicago Bulls.

As for Golden State Warriors, Steve Kerr also seem to have got some insight with allowing the team young guys play extended minutes, which have been very helpful for the team when they're out of offensive options Podziemski, Jackson-Davis and Kuminga have all been extremely well,

I also have the Pacers, but I added the extra points in case we have a close match because their shooting could regress after having a solid shooting performance against the Rockets the other day.



That's a solid bet now that the handicap moved by a few points and it should be a comfortable win for the Warriors with most of the Heat's starting players potentially out.

I got used to that kinds of mistakes and upsets. 
The Mavs tried to go back at the last seconds of the game but that last play was badly written, it could've been overtime if only someone was open to shoot a three.

8 games later.
Here are my picks.

Boston Celtics - Detroit Pistons - Boston Celtics (-14.5) This high spreads. It's disrespectful but because the Detroit Pistons have not won a game for 27 games then I guess it's just normal and it's Celtics home.

Chicago Bulls - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers ML They may have won against the Atlanta Hawks but I still don't trust the Bulls.

Minnesota Timberwolves - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks (10.5) - Back-to-back games for the Mavs and they might be exhausted but I'd take that +10 and maybe they can keep the game as close as possible.

Denver Nuggets - Memphis Grizzlies - Denver Nuggets (-5.5) 5-game winning streak Nuggets against a 4-game winning streak Grizzlies. A Battle of firepower but defense will probably be the key to the win. Put KCP against Ja and he might stop him a little bit. Nuggets playing without Aaron Gordon.

Golden State Warriors - Miami Heat - Golden State Warriors (-1.5) It's been so long since I last bet for the Warriors. Taking my chances today.

Good luck everyone.

I agree, this is a home game for the Celtics and although the spread is high, considering they're up against the worst team in the NBA now, this is just too easy for them. I don't even worry if their starters will play limited minutes because I'm confident that their 2nd unit is better than the starters of the Pistons. This battle is a system vs system, and the Celitcs system are just way better compared to the road team. Good Luck!

In what is probably the most overmatched game of the season so far, I like the Boston Celtics to beat the Detroit Pistons today. Maybe not even worth the time to make the bet given the odds, but if you need a win to help out your self esteem or you’re looking at getting slightly better odds on a different bet, this might be a good game to toss in.

Dallas will be playing 3 games in 4 nights. In addition, they need to travel, so I see the fatigue factor here is a big advantage for the Wolves which are a well rested team. I understand why the spread are high, but at the same time I didn't doubt on taking this.


It's almost automatic that the Lakers will win. However, question is if they would be able to cover the spread, hopefully they will so we will win.

Good luck to all!

I also got 3/5 last night. The 3 correct picks were ones I was very confident about winning (Sixers, Bucks and Raptors) and the 2 games I missed were random picks. I thought the Knicks could handle OKC, but they didn't. The Knicks had many turnovers against OKC, which is why they lost. As for Suns vs Rockets, I expected the Rockets to bounce back since they already lost to the Pacers in their last home game. They've have 7 straight home games and 2 of 7 already losses.

That's how being discipline in gambling. I admire you for that.


If you had watched the game you will know that Mavericks were just unlucky that they went into scoring drought, but it was a winnable game for them. Their shot selections were terrible and they commit turnovers and outrebounded, that happened in the game, but you can't blame them because scenario like that happen.

I had to skip last night as I had 0 confidence in actually placing any bets. All of this because of my previous night where I've went wrong 6 out of 6 games and that really made me upset .

I'm a bit surprised to see Mavs losing against Cavs but as soon as Luka scored a few points under 40 , his team knows they will lose because that's how bad his team mates are.

I like the Wolves -95. and the Lakers -13. I think these two heavy favorites would win and cover the spread, especially for the Wolves since they will be playing the Dallas Mavericks who are on their back to back game and came from a very disappointing loss.

For the Lakers, yes, they badly need a win here as they are struggling on the recent games. Going back to the winning path is necessary and I'm sure at home where they have a good record, they'll be able to dominate Charlotte who are only 1-9 on the last 10.

They choked in the 4th quarter, they had a long scoring drought in that game and that gives the Cavaliers to come back. Dallas are in control at the beginning but you can really never too sure, good thing I was able to bet on live and took a handicap for Cavaliers +4, I should have bet on the moneyline, but a win is still a win though, no regret. 

---

Tomorrow I will be betting on the Pacers vs Bulls over 241, Wolves -9.5, Memphis +7 and Lakers -13.

Here is the result of my bet and prediction it wasn't a great prediction and I only got 1 win out of 3 but here is the results,

Orlando Magic VS Philadelphia 76ers SCORE 92 - 112 - LOST

From start to finish even without Joel Embiid, they did a great job, well in keeping the Orlando magic at bay I thought that the Orlando magic could get this game with a solid win but I was wrong Tobias Harris, De'Anthony Melton, and Tyrese Maxey did a great job in in keeping the lead for the Philadelphia 76ers, and from start to finish the Orlando Magic didn't got any lead, it was a struggle for them in surely winning against the Philadelphia 76ers,

Oklahoma City Thunder VS New York Knicks SCORE 129 - 120 - WIN

It was a very close game for these two teams and I think the OKC had a great start in the 1st quarter then at the end of the 1st half the New York Knicks got their luck converted and was taken until the Oklahoma City Thunder decided that they need to win this game and so Chet Holmgren got 22 points, Jalen Williams got 36 points and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander got 36 points for this game while the New York Knicks couldn't possibly be taken that lead that they want,
 
Dallas Mavericks VS Cleveland Cavaliers SCORE 110 - 113 - LOST

I really thought that the Dallas Mavericks could get this win because they had a great game from the start of the 1st half it was them that dominated the deep and the paint, but the Cleveland Cavaliers managed to get the lead against the Dallas Mavericks in the 2nd half of the game and it was really a close game but the Cavaliers is something and was hungry for the win it was an awesome game for the both of this teams but you can never know how the game will really end,

Zach wanted out if I'm not mistaken, so Bulls management should give that to him, trade him and look for another superstar that could blend with DeRozan. It's pretty obvious that DeRozan was the most consistent in this team, so he should remain and will be declared as their leader, just like Luka with the Mavericks.

Bulls have won 6 of their last 10 games, it's a good sign already as they are slowly moving up, which currently in the number 10 spot, they are good to go with the play-in tournament if they'll finish even at this rank.

3 of 5.


Could have been 4 wins if only the Dallas Mavericks didn't enter the drought. 5 minutes scoreless in the last quarter of the regulation. I thought I was going to win it but there's a lid in the rim and no one can shoot anything for the Mavs.
Luka Doncic gave me some hope when he made his last three and Niang missed both of his free throws. But that last play for Luka was incomplete, he was doubled and he could not see where he could pass the ball. Dereck Lively under the rim was wide open and he can make a 2-point basket to cut the lead to one. They will still have enough time after a foul but that didn't happen. Luka was obviously frustrated and I think it's with himself. It's not his teammates fault, he should've expected a double team.
Also, credit to LeVert, he truly stepped up his game and so does Allen with enormous stats in both rebounds and points. 24 points and 23 rebounds. When did we last see this kind of stats? Jokic? Kevin Love in his Timberwolves years?
Well, that's still a good win for me but could've been better.

Nice! Congratulations to you and to all the winners tonight. Happy Holidays!

I put .001BTC down on the Chicago Bulls last night where they Hawks were actually favored by 2.5 points.  Once again my Bulls pull off another win when most people expected them to lose.  It's just crazy how well they've been playing with out Zach Lavine.  I don't think that's why they are winning, but it does make you certainly question whether he should still be on the team or not.
