Yet the Warriors struggles continues again, with their 3rd consecutive loss, Klay Thompson was the better of the Splash brothers today, but his 30 point game wasn't just enough to help Warriors get a win, however, Steve is making some really good adjustment to the team's roster, with Jonathan Kuminga get the nod to start and Andrew Wiggins dropping to bench, I believe these are necessary and it's looking good from how the Warrior played today, in my opinion.

I predicted the Bulls to win beause they were playing competitive basketball although they fall short in the end.
Just like when they played the Bucks, the game went to OT but they lose, so I was thinking maybe they could win or at least cover the handicap being the underdog at home, and I was right, they were up early and it's just enough for them to win by not allowing the Heat to come back and beat them.


Wolves have a different kind of defense, so you can't compare them with the Lakers. They are the number 1 team in the West for a reason.

This game was a dominant win by the Wolves, and that is even Edwards was struggling with his shooting as he was only 3/19 and end up scoring 9 points only.

^^ It's really unpredictable games, specially the Heat vs Bulls, when we think that the Heat is going to win at home. But the Bulls come in strong in the first quarter and building a solid lead. But I thought that my bet has still a chance as I put on the Heat my handicap.

However, it seems that the Heat doesn't have the legs specially in the 4th.

Same with Luka, when Exum has a solid game against the Lakers, but against the Wolves, he as check and they just rely on Luka. But his 39 points and 13 assists was not enough.

Not lucky enough for today bud. I won my first bet today, the Celtics are still unbeatable when playing in their arena.

I also bet on Miami, but they lost in their own arena to the Bulls. I am losing faith in this team. Perhaps they are just better during the playoffs because we can see the best of Playoff Jimmy.

In the Minnesota Timberwolves VS Dallas Mavericks match we have the opposite pick. The Mavericks depend on Luka to perform, the TWolves are less reliant on a single player.

Good luck with your TBlazer bet. They are at home but it did not reflect on their previous matches. Jazz is having a nice lead in the halftime.

Here are my bets and predictions for the games today,

Portland Trail Blazer VS Utah Jazz

The stake odds for this game are 1.63 for the Portland Trail Blazer and 2.35 for the Utah Jazz, for this game Malcolm Brogdon, Ishmail Wainright, and Deandre Ayton are all questionable if they can play for the Portland Trail Blazer, Robert Williams III is Out for the season, and Jerami Grant has a Concussion and can not play for the Portland Trail Blazer, while Luka Samanic, Lauri Markkanen, and John Collins all are questionable if they can play for the Utah Jazz, Keyonte George, and Jordan Clarkson both can not play for the Utah Jazz, for this game, I will gamble and risk it on the Utah Jazz if Lauri Markennen can play my chance is high because he can surely play with Collin Sexton and Simone Fontecchio,

Sacramento Kings VS Oklahoma City Thunder

The stake odds for this game are 1.79 for the Sacramento Kings and 2.08 for the Oklahoma City Thunder, for this game Trey Lyles is questionable if he can play for the Sacramento Kings and Alex Len has an ankle injury and can not play for the Sacramento Kings, while the Oklahoma City Thunder don't have any injuries, for this game the even though they have injuries the Sacramento Kings still has their main players and yeah My pick is the Sacramento Kings,

Los Angeles Clipper VS Golden State Warriors

The stake odds for this game are 1.48 for the Los Angeles Clippers and 2.75 for the Golden State Warriors, for this game Brandon Boston Jr., Paul George, and Joshua Primo are all questionable if they can play for the Los Angeles Clippers,  Moussa Diabate and Mason Plumlee both can not play for the Clippers, while Gary Payton II has a Calf injury and can not play for the Golden State Warriors, for this game because of the so many injuries of the Clippers my pick is the Golden State Warriors,

1.70+ at -8.5 if I am not mistaken, then it changed to -9.5 and the -8.5 was gone on the options.

3/4 on my last bets. Damn! I am hot. 
Luckily I only went for that -1.5 for the Lakers because they won by only 3 points against the San Antonio Spurs.

Phoenix Suns. My only defeat. I really thought they could win that one and I even took Kevin Durant out of the picture and yet they lost against the Brooklyn Nets. Another 20+ pointer game for Cam Thomas.

Later, 7 games are listed.
Here are my picks.

Miami Heat - Chicago Bulls - Miami Heat (-1.5) Miami Heat had not let me down yet. They can win games even without Bam Adebayo.

Dallas Mavericks - Minnesota Timberwolves - Dallas Mavericks (-1.5) Luka Doncic is just too much on the offensive end. They are now on their 4th winning streak and I hope it will not be the Timberwolves who will stop it.

Denver Nuggets - Brooklyn Nets - Denver Nuggets (-10.5) After Jokic is ejected in their last game, I bet he will go crazy again with his stats. He is hungry and the Brooklyn Nets are exhausted. The Nuggets will win at home but I hope they can also cover the spread.

Sacramento Kings - Oklahoma City Thunder - Sacramento Kings (-1.5) Bad loss against the Clippers but it was a road game and it's back to back. After a good 1 day rest they may want to win this one at home and light the beam again.

Good luck everyone.

It was reported that Lebron will be out.

https://www.silverscreenandroll.com/2023/12/12/23999397/anthony-davis-lakers-injury-report-groin-mavs-spurs-lebron-james-jarred-vanderbilt

Aren't you wondering why the Lakers was only -3.5 against the struggling Spurs. If you were able to bet on the moneyline, you should have won. This could actually be an easy cover by the Lakers if they didn't allow the Spurs to have a strong run in the 4th, with that it resulted to the Lakers winning by 3 points only which means spurs handicap win.

My Bet and Prediction on my last bet was on December 12, and since then because of the busy schedule of the holidays I haven't made a bet for the games Yesterday and today and for sure sharing my big win in here, but surely I will bet for tomorrows game,

Detroit Pistons VS Indiana Pacers SCORE 123 - 131 - WIN

Orlando Magic VS Cleveland Cavaliers SCORE 104 - 94 - WIN

Charlotte Hornets VS Miami Heat SCORE 114 - 116 - WIN


For sure I think that they did their best the game was a close one if you are referring to yesterday's game well, Kyrie Irving didn't play for the Mavericks but for sure Luka Doncic was really firing that night he got a double-double of 17 assists and 33 points for this game, while Tim Hardaway got 32 points, even if LeBron James got 33 points and Anthony Davis got a double-double of 11 rebounds and 37 points, they still didn't manage to win but it was a close one and you can not say that they didn't do much for that game,


That was a bummer for them because LeBron James is the team captain surely if he becomes focus with the game he can eventually turn the tables with their great defense and offensive prowess on the court for sure Anthony Davis is not enough but still maybe they can pull through without him,

∆ J. Randle 20+ points / J. Brunson 5+ assists / J. Brunson 1+ steals @2.34 ∆  won

I'll stick with the Knicks until they disappoint me, which hopefully won't be anytime soon. Lol

I've added Brunson's assists and steals to Randle's 20+ points. Brunson is coming off a 9-assist game against the Raptors, has 5+ assists in 4/L5 and 8/L10. The game has a fairly high total of 230, and the Jazz are plain bad defensively. Brunson is also on a seven-game stretch of recording at least one steal, the Jazz also average nearly 18 turnovers per game which is dead last in the NBA.

I turn on the Lakers game to see that LeBron is out. Information that could have been useful to me prior to placing my bets for the day. I did get the Lakers in a parlay with the 76ers and the Pelicans all winning. Hopefully Anthony Davis can come through and carry them to a win. The way the Spurs have been playing it shouldn’t be too hard.

Thanks! It was just luck actually I just did a little research for this game their winnings and losses, and injuries, and the odds have something that has taken the idea to make a bet but yeah for those games I chose it was really predictable, but I haven't made a bet for games yesterday and today, I totally missed the games yesterday and my deposit hasn't arrived yet so I haven't made a bet for today, but for sure will be going with the tomorrow games,

Jamal Murray has played for the Atlanta Hawks game but he didn't play against the Chicago Bulls game while Nikola Jokic just played 16 minutes for that game maybe they have let him rest for this game, but yeah Bogdan Bogdanovic has a great game but the Atlanta Hawks still lost this game, so it was really a sad day for Bogdan Bogdanovic,


It was really a close game Booker really showed what he can really do and without Kevin Durant for the team they really did well with this game, well it was a close game for this game but yeah for sure Steve Kerr really used those bench matches so much right now and he was really utilizing the young guns right now, as Draymond Looney and Wiggins played less for that game, and they still lose that game but in a close one, still not a bad game for the Warriors and not the great game they can showcase as well,

Was following the Celtics game and from what I remember they were down 23-11 very early on so their odds adjusted of course and shot up to 1.30x odds.
What were they 1.13x odds prematch on most books last night? Is it me or most if not all favorites intentionally let the underdog team go ahead early in their games. So to let them gain some confidence from what I have watched lately in the matches since the start of this season.
It is so to punish the gambler who they know have bets in massive amount on them to win.
Had three bets on several slips with the favorites in o/u combo bets and they all trailed by the 1st quarter.
Just so very strange which I only noticed it when I had this acca made with all the favorites so I was actually keeping track and watching all three games carefully on the score ticker at the bottom of the screen of the Celtics game.

Another disappointing lost from us because the Lakers chooses to relax in the first 2 quarters hehehe.

Lots of game but I think pretty much the favorites are gong to win and cover the spread. We have the Pistons and Spurs who has a losing streak and I think it will continue as they are facing the Sixers and the Lakers.

I'll go with the Suns -3.5 here @1.79. It looks like the handicap moved already from -1.5 to -2.5.

2 of 3.
Damn, I was being careful not to be greedy betting for the Boston Celtics spreads and yet it's still not covered. They only won by seven points.
Denver Nuggets was red hot. Despite losing Nikola Jokic due to being ejected, their 2nd team still managed to win the game. Chicago Bulls were too careless with the ball and they may have underestimated the bench of the Nuggets which is wrong. Jordan and Reggie will definitely punish them if they won't D them.
LA Clippers as expected won their game but I didn't expect a huge gap like that.

9 games later.
First pick.
Washington Wizards - New Orleans Pelicans - New Orleans Pelicans (-5.5) I think that spread is low but it might be the safest one. @1.71
Second pick.
Detroit Pistons - Philadelphia 76ers - Philadelphia 76ers (-10.5) This should be covered. It's Embiid for crying out loud, and they are playing the Detroit Pistons who are on their 20th losing streak.
Third pick.
San Antonio Spurs - Los Angeles Lakers - Los Angeles Lakers (-1.5) Looks like a trap but I will bite.
Fourth pick.
Phoenix Suns - Brooklyn Nets - Phoenix Suns (-1.5) With Bradley Beal back, even if Durant takes a rest they may win this or even if they are playing back-to-back.

Good luck everyone.

Warriors are becoming an awful team after every game these days, they can't keep any kind of lead, huge or marginal and they also can't get from deficit to any game either, Draymond Green for is becoming more of a burden to the team and that's not help matters in any way he plays a couple of good game even though they lose game and suddenly becomes a menace in the next one, should the Warriors be fortunate enough to make the playoffs, Draymond is definitely one of the players that'll get them eliminated early, and more so, the scoring responsibility has almost become a sole responsibility for Steph Curry, and he's not getting any scoring help, and that is majorly because Steve Kerr has failed to trust the rookies enough with large playing minutes, there is not other player on the Warriors roster that is averaging up 17 points per game on the season, I don't know how sustainable that is, but the only thing I'm certain about is that it can't get them another championship title.

It was a great ending but the Suns were able to hold on to beat the Warriors. Booker definitely hit the over with a 32 point night and he held on to the game down the stretch as Durant looked on from the bench. Curry did get a chance to tie it at the end with a quick shot off the inbounds but he wasn’t able to pull off a miracle.

Just a break even day, won on the Denver bet but was short on the Boston bet.

Currently watching the game now, enjoy the Warriors vs Phoenix game,  and I think the Warriors will take the win.
It's the undermanned Phoenix, Lakers should be able to take advantage on it. Let's just hope this game are not gonna go to OT as Warriors seemed to have trouble in OT games ( speaking of  2 L from OKC)

Now, we got a game. Lakers are currently leading but just a slim margin. We know that basketball is a game of run, so I think now it's a 50-50 game now. I'm watching the Celtics vs Cavaliers now, but as soon as the game is over, I'll shift my focus on the LA vs Mavericks game.

Yes, I would agree that it's been a good game so far Dallas Mavericks, but you know that the Lakers are not going to go away just like that, and they've outscored and outplayed, and as I was typing this post, Anthony Davis just scored a buzzer beating 3-pointer to give Lakers the lead as they about to head into the 4th Quarter, we are all in for an interesting 4th Quarter imo.
