I've also got the Clippers spread because of the home advantage, but still, OKC can keep it close if they can have a better shooting day compared to the Lakers game, as they're one of the teams that continues to find success while they're at a disadvantage(4-1 on b2b games).

I hope OKC can make it easy for us, but they're still a team that can surprise us with an upset on the road despite losing games they could've won.

I'm going Nuggets, Suns, Clippers all to win.  It's a tough call today though.  It could easily go the opposite way.  The only game I feel somewhat good about is the Clippers beating the Oklahoma City Thunder.  I'm hoping the Suns are starting to hit their stride and can beat the Kings, but admittedly they don't match up the greatest against Sacramento, so that game might come down to how well Sabonis plays.  The Nuggets and the 76ers will be close too, but I think it's the Nuggets game to lose.

We have 3 games only tomorrow, and here's my picks.

1) Nuggets +4

Sure Embiid is back, he scored 41 points on their win against the Rockets, but they are against the defending champion now. Sixers coming from a back to back game, I believe there's still a little fatigue factor compared to the well rested Nuggets.

Sixers doesn't really have an impressive home record, only 15-6 (spreads all covered), so If this will be a close game and they will still win, I believe Nuggets will cover.


2) Kings +5

Coming from a disappointing lose against Bucks, this time they'll play more mature basketball, and might likely win against an inconsistent Suns.

3)Clippers-5.5

Clippers loss to Wolves on their road games, now playing at home and will try to bounce back. So I think it will be a big win by the Clippers against OKC who suffered a loss against the Lakers, also OKC is on a b2b game.

Not a good game for me I just got 1 win out of 3, now here are the results of my bet and prediction for today's game,

Washington Wizards VS Detroit Pistons SCORE 117 - 129 - LOST

I really thought that the Washington Wizards would win this game but the Detroit Pistons got it solid and Jordan Poole even though he played 32 mins in this game he just got 16 points for this game, for this game Detroit Pistons Jalen Duren had a double-double of 19 rebound and 20 points Jaden Ivey got 24 points and Alec Burks got 34 points and two 2-digit score for this team that got them this total score, against the Washington Wizards.

Memphis Grizzlies VS Golden State Warriors SCORE 116 - 107 - LOST

I was shocked that the Grizzlies have got this without their main players for this team but for sure many Warriors fans now are in their loss and they are not consistent anymore and keep on losing, Jaren Jackson Jr. got 18 points, GG Jackson III got 23 points, and Vince Williams Jr. got 24 points for sure the Golden State Warriors underestimate the Memphis Grizzlies.

Utah Jazz VS Indiana Pacers SCORE 132 - 105 - WIN

This is a one-sided match and because Tyrese Haliburton was not on the team and the Pacers didn't what to do, and because the Utah Jazz was all over the place, but for this game I was not wrong in picking the Utah Jazz because right now Jordan Clarkson got 17 points, Keyonte George got 19 points, Collin Sexton got 30 points, and Lauri Markkanen has a double-double of 10 rebounds and 32 points for this game.

I can understand why the OKC Thunder loss in this game.

Based on my observation, it seems like everyone was rooting for OKC. Line opened up at +4.5 for OKC and ended up -3, this could only mean one thing, bettors does not believe that OKC will win. So I took the initiative to follow my analysis and it paid off.

Lakers won, Lebron and AD consistent as usual, but the good thing is that the supporting cast played well.

Russell 14, Reaves 13, Hachimura 12, and wood 11. Hopefully they already figured out how to create a good rotation.

Despite the absence of Jaylen Brown, the handicap remained unattractive, primarily as a result of the ongoing losing streak of the Raptors. The Raptors are also included in the teams at the bottom ranks. However, it is unexpected that the game was low scoring, particularly for the Celtics, a team that has a lot of scoring choices.

The level of Jazz is on a different level recently, I do not have an idea what sort of spirit went into the team. But the team has a high record of winning at home better than most of the teams and it is unnoticed.

Currently, I am hanging tight for my last wager, a - 3.5 on the Thunder. The Lakers take a nine point lead after breaking through the close scoring.

Jazz have been very good lately having got all their injured players back, and they're one of the teams playing beyond expectation recently, and the streak should continue against the Pacer, I'd agree!

-7.5 for Utah Jazz sound pretty cool, so I'll be tailing you on that!

I've also got Oklahoma City Thunder -1.5 against the Lakers @ 1.89

GL!

The Kings didn't want to let go and I thought the Bucks would surely cover when I saw them leading by double digits in the fourth quarter. 

I'll also take the Jazz spread since they've been dominating at home and have one of the best records in covering spreads (15-4), while the Pacers are expected to regress without Haliburton.

Celtics vs Raptors, I'm not going on the handicap for this game, but go with the Over 237.5. Reports says that Jaylen Brown is questionable though, so we might have to look at if if we are going to bet on the handicap.

Jazz vs Pacers, Indiana is playing and winning without Haliburton, but the Jazz have their own winning streak as well. So I will go with them at -6.5 @1.84.

Best of luck!!

I'm taking the other side of that with okc but I have it as okc -1.5.  The Lakers don't look good at all right now.  I feel like they are gonna have to make a move for someone else this team just doesn't cut it night in and night out.  Also taking Memphis at home getting 8.5 against the Warriors.  Warriors stink on the road and even if they win don't think it will be by much.

Here are my bets and predictions for games today,

Washington Wizards VS Detroit Pistons

The stake odds for this game are 1.45 for the Washington Wizards and 2.80 for the Detroit Pistons, right now Johnny Davis, has an Illness and is questionable if he can play for the Wizards Marvin Bagley III, and Isaiah Livers can not play for the Washington Wizards because of Coach's Decision while Malcolm Cazalon, and Bojan Bogdanovic both is questionable if they can play for the Pistons, Mike Muscala, Danilo Gallinari, Monte Morris, and Cade Cunningham all can not play for the Detroit Pistons and so because there are many injuries for the Pistons, while the Washington Wizards still have their main key players, for this game my pick is the Washington Wizards,

Memphis Grizzlies VS Golden State Warriors

The stake odds for this game are 3.45 for the Memphis Grizzlies and 1.33 for the Golden State Warriors, right now Jaren Jackson Jr., and Santi Aldama, are both questionable if they can play for the Grizzlies, Jake LaRavia, Derrick Rose, Desmond Bane, Marcus Smart, and Brandon Clarke can not play for the Memphis Grizzlies, Ja Morant and Steven Adams are Out for the season, while Moses Moody, Chris Paul and Gary Payton II are all can not play for the Golden State Warriors so for this game the Memphis Grizzlies as many injuries and their key main players Ja Morant is out for this season for sure my pick for this game is non other than Golden State Warriors,

Utah Jazz VS Indiana Pacers

The stake odds for this game are 1.37 for the Utah Jazz and 3.20 for the Indiana Pacers, right Utah Jazz doesn't have any injuries while Aaron Nesmith has a Lower leg injury and is questionable if he can play for the Pacers, and Tyrese Haliburton has a Hamstring Expected to be out until at least Jan 25, can not play for the Indiana Pacers, for this game, it is not expected that Haliburton will be injured like this and without him, the play for the Indiana Pacers are different, without him, while Utah Jazz is a great team now and is at their 100% going in this game so my pick is the Utah Jazz,

The Lakers vs OKC game is quite interesting. It's only 1.5 where the Lakers are a slight favorite.

As per injury report, SGA and Davis are both questionable, but I doubt they'll miss this game, especially the Lakers who badly need a win.
This is a battle of a red hot team vs a struggling team LA.

Their last 10 games record are as follows using the W-L format.

OKC 8-2
LA 3-7

==========

My pick here would be the LA Lakers -1.5. I'm going with a desperate team, hopefully refs will call as many fouls they can so OKC will complain like the Raps.

Yeah, crap. I guess they are exhausted, or it's because Middleton was not there. That was supposed to be a good win and I am expecting at least a 7 to 10-point lead at the end of the game. Well, shit happens, and that's now.
Here are my results for the games yesterday.
Denver Nuggets - Indiana Pacers - Denver Nuggets (-10.5) - Lost! Nuggets won by just 8 points.
Miami Heat - Charlotte Hornets - Miami Heat (-5.5) - Win. Yeah, just like I predicted, they still have Bam, Herro, Robinson, and of course Jaime Jaquez Jr. who contributed 15 points.
Milwaukee Bucks - Sacramento Kings - Milwaukee Bucks (-3.5) - Lost!
Minnesota Timberwolves - Los Angeles Clippers - Los Angeles Clippers ML Lost! That was some game from the Antman! Amazing.
Portland Trail Blazers - Phoenix Suns - Phoenix Suns (-10.5) Win! Just enough to cover the spreads. 11 point lead from the Phoenix Suns.

Later, 11 games! Rawr! Another feast for the parlay makers.
Miami Heat and Indiana Pacers are the teams that will be playing back-to-back games. Do consider that in your bets.
Here are my early picks.
Philadelphia 76ers - Houston Rockets - Philadelphia 76ers (-5.5) 14-6 record at home for the 76ers but they are playing without their star Embiid. But, I saw them still winning games. Embiid is questionable to play but that spread seems to tell that he will play. I hope so.
Dallas Mavericks - New Orleans Pelicans - Dallas Mavericks (5.5) Doncic is doubtful, Jones Jr. is probable, and so does Kleber. But, Kyrie is playing like a superstar although they had a bad loss against the Pelicans.
New York Knicks - Orlando Magic - New York Knicks (-4.5) - Knicks are strong, they just need to focus more on their defense. When they deleted those 18 points led against the Mavs, I was shocked. They are not to be messed with on clutch times.
Memphis Grizzlies - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors (-5.5) Steph is back, time to win games again.

Good luck everyone.

Unfortunately, Bucks weren't able to manage in covering this handicap, as they win the game in OT for just single point.


If I had to pick this match, i'd also pick the Clippers, but they're on point with the toss-up odds.

Despite their inconsistent form, the Timberwolves don't simply lose at home (15-2) and the Clippers can be vulnerable on the road like how they lost to the Lakers last week.
