Good, and to break my curse against the Phoenix Suns,  .

I think Trae Young is one of the most underrated guards we have around, even playing when he has shoulder injuries before. And just like you said, they needed this win. And so they deliver.

Hopefully there are some gamblers who see that as well and put a money on them live betting.

They won the game, and they needed that win. Although it was a back and forth early, but the fourt quarter was different as Hawks have better defense and rebounding. Also, the shot of Gordon that was taken away after a review because he stepped out, that was huge, it's a 3 point shot taken from them.

Trae Young just proved that he deserve to be in an all star, he made a statement tonight with 32 points, 15 assists, and 3 steals.

In the 4th quarter atlanta hawk is already 7 points ahead although not a significant advantage. but it seems that hawk will win this match. suns usually play out side if the shooters are stuck, they will lose.

It's a big risk, but I taking the Hawks by ML against the Suns, @2.40.

Suns is just leading by 1 point going into the last minutes of the 3rd quarter. And it's a close game and who knows, maybe the Suns are going to choke in this game and give it away to the home team.

I like the matchup between Murray and Booker here.

That was really insane I never expected that to happen Tyrese Maxey is a monster with that kind of performance many are so impressed with what he has done, with 51 points he surely carries the team on his back getting 30-plus points in the 1st half, it was really crazy after his 3 days rest not playing for the 76ers against the Nuggets, Trail Blazers, and the Warriors and Joel Embiid was out Tyrese Maxey was really amazing getting those crazy deep three in the 1st half,

Here is the result of the NBA games for today

New York Knicks VS Indiana Pacers SCORE 109 - 105 - WIN

The Indiana Pacers finished the 1st round with a lead of 58 to 51, but the New York Knicks didn't let the lead for long, and with the 2nd half of the game until the 4th quarter of the game the Knicks got their lead against the Pacers, and it was a heart-stopping game as it was a close one, and Tyrese Haliburton played only 22 mins and after the 1st half Haliburton didn't play anymore until the game ends Miles McBride got 16 points, Donte DiVincenzo got 20 points and Jalen Brunson got 40 points for the New York Knicks.

Memphis Grizzlies VS Cleveland Cavaliers SCORE 101 - 108 - WIN

The Memphis Grizzlies got a great start in this game until the end of the 1st half they were leading this game, and Jaren Jackson Jr. became a great asset for the Grizzlies and continued to strive to win until the Cleveland Cavaliers got a lead in the 4th quarter and this time Donovan Mitchell done a tremendous job in making it happen, until that quarter the Cleveland Cavaliers have won the game, Jarett Allen got 14 points, Caris LeVert got 16 points, and Donovan Mitchell got 25 points and winning this game.

Utah Jazz VS Philadelphia 76ers SCORE 124 - 127 - LOST

The 76ers made a great leap in this game they have led the 1st half thanks to Tyrese Maxey and they are making it possible because of him, those 3 pointers of Maxey have become the main highlight of this game, I thought if Joel Embiid is not playing the game the Utah Jazz can win this but I forgot about Tyrese Maxey, Kelly Oubre Jr. got 16 points, Tobias Harris got 28 points and Tyrese Maxey got 51 points that led the Utah Jazz to their demise, and for my bet to lose,

3-0 last night for a clean sweep.  Tonight I am uncharacteristically taking 5 road favorites.

First gimme the Clippers-12.5 against Detroit.  Clips are rolling expect them to destroy

Second gimme Suns-3.5 against the Hawks.  Think this is where Suns start making a move to the front of the pack in the west

Third.  Gimme Miami-7.5 against the wiz.  Mia.i always wins games like these they should roll

Fourth gimme sacramento -3.5 against Pacers.  Siakam and haliburton are on minutes restrictions and second game of a back to back and they just flew home.  Sac rolls here in a blowout.

Fifth amd they are underdogs, gimme Toronto +4.5 on the road in Houston.  This is my least favorite bet but I'm riding it.

∆ A. Nesmith 20+ PR / K. Murray 1+ stocks @1.89 ∆  X

Aaron Nesmith has seen a significant bump in his playing time for the Pacers of late. He's averaging 35+ minutes over the last six games, which is over 10 minutes more than he's had on the season. He's covered 20+ PR in 5/L5 while shooting 54% from deep (SAC give up the most threes to opposing SFs/PFs). Pacers games typically have outrageously high O/U totals, plus Nesmith's secured minutes make this line a lock in my eyes.

Keegan Murray has an active streak of 15 games with at least one block or steal. Both the Kings and the Pacers are playing on the back end of a back-to-back, where teams tend to commit more turnovers than usual. Murray is in a good spot to extend his run.

Tossing a parlay out there today.  None of these picks should surprise anyone (unlike my last Lakers to win pick).  This is a bet that we won't see another major upset today. 
Good luck to all today's players out there!

Damn! The Lakers bench did a great job here. Like I throw away my money.

New York Knicks - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers ML - Lost! I loved this game even though my bet was a goner. The Knicks kept on pushing even though the Pacers had a good lead. Jalen Brunson was so awesome at finding his way in score in the painted area.
Boston Celtics - Los Angeles Lakers - Boston Celtics (-10.5) - Lost! This is just too bad for the Celtics, worse, at their home. Ewe!
Memphis Grizzlies - Cleveland Cavaliers - Cleveland Cavaliers (-5.5) - Won!! Covered. Thankfully I didn't get greedy because it ended with just a 7 point lead. Cavs continue their winning streak.

10 games later.
The Pacers and Grizzlies are playing back-to-back games.

Here are my picks.
Detroit Pistons - Los Angeles Clippers - Los Angeles Clippers (-10.5) - The Clippers are trying to revive their winning streak and this should be an easy one for them.
Atlanta Hawks - Phoenix Suns - Phoenix Suns (-1.5) - I don't know if they are underestimating the Suns or if the Hawks are being overestimated. We will see.
San Antonio Spurs - New Orleans Pelicans - New Orleans Pelicans (-5.5) - Zion is questionable to play again. With him is Herb Jones and Nance Jr.
Minnesota Timberwolves - Orlando Magic - Minnesota Timberwolves (-5.5)
Denver Nuggets - Portland Trail Blazers - Denver Nuggets (-10.5) - I am curious about this. Jokic is still listed as questionable, and Jamal Murray is probable too, so what the heck is happening? Maybe I will make sure about this later on and input the bet before the game. Just to be sure, because -10 is a high spread, and if those two won't play, I doubt it can be covered.

Good luck everyone, have a great day.

I don't know what Tyrese Maxey was on today, but whatever the hell that was, it was monster game from him literally single handle carried the 76ers on his shoulder, and there is no way they could have won today's match without, to be very honest. He dropped 18 points in the first quarter alone with a 6 of 6 from behind the arc, and 51 points in total for the game, little wonder as to why they're calling him the imminent face of the franchise, because he's hooping at the topmost tier level, no doubt, for a lad that's just 23 years, and a whole career ahead of him.

I believe they are not a good 3 point shooting team and they are just below 40% this season. Shooting 53% on the road seems so high especially against the Celtics who are known to be a good team with balance offense and defense. I guess lots of bettors really fell on that trap because Celtics are capable of winning via blowout on the road like what they did to the Miami Heat, so at home they have a decent chance of doing it, but what we witnessed was a flipped.

For now that's the biggest story in the NBA, but don't forget to move forward. Next game for the Celtics is still at home, it's against the Memphis, this sure going to be different, I'm looking for a bounce back game.

They probably didn't play hard thinking that the Lakers are struggling and they can easily beat them. Normally, when the Boston are down, they could easily come back, just like what happened against their game vs the Pacers, but this time around, they look lacking of energy, they aren't playing defense which they usually do.

I don't know what's the season high for the Lakers 3 point FG percentage, but this game they shoot 53% or 19-36 (shot made- attempts). While the Celtics only shoots 33% which I think is still acceptable but not acceptable is their defense outside.

Ya, the Celtics were giving up open 3’s all night long. Seems odd considering the Lakers were without their big man. Gotta chalk this one up to a bad game plan.

Lots of parlay was probably destroyed due to the outcome of the game. Not only the Lakers won but they dominated the Celtics on their own homecourt where they have a very impressive record. Nothing is impossible, lol..what's happening here? Was it a rig show?

I can't believe a Lebron+ Davis less Lakers could easily beat the Celtics.

-16.5 but they loss by 9 points. Reaves took charges and scored 32 points, but 7-10 from beyond the arc.. where's the defense C's?

This is why sometimes you have to bet the odds, not the game. With odds like this, there was no way to bet the Celtics and have it be worth it. I didn’t see any games that would’ve made for an attractive parlay. So you go against the grain and hope for a big payout with an upset. Tonight that gamble paid off. RIP to those who threw money at a 1.08x bet.

Here are my picks for the NBA games today,

New York Knicks (1.64) VS Indiana Pacers (2.32)

• New York Knicks Injury List

Quentin Grimes (Knee/ Game Time Decision)
OG Anunoby (Elbow/ Game Time Decision)
Duane Washington Jr. (Thumb/ Game Time Decision)
Julius Randle (Shoulder/ out until at least Feb 22)
Mitchell Robinson (Ankle/ out until at least Apr 2)

• Indiana Pacers Injury List

Jalen Smith (Back/ Game Time Decision)
Tyrese Haliburton (Hamstring/ Game Time Decision)
T.J. McConnell (Illness/ Game Time Decision)
Bennedict Mathurin (Toe/ Game Time Decision)

Boston Celtics (1.16) VS Los Angeles Lakers (5.60)

• Boston Celtics Injury List

Luke Kornet (Hamstring/ out until at least Feb 4)

• Los Angeles Lakers Injury List

LeBron James (Ankle/ out until at least Feb 3)
Anthony Davis (Achilles/ out until at least Feb 3)
Cam Reddish (Ankle/ out until at least Feb 14)
Gabe Vincent (Knee/ out until at least Feb 14)

Memphis Grizzlies (2.75) VS Cleveland Cavaliers (1.47)

• Memphis Grizzlies Injury List

Santi Aldama (Lower Body/ Game Time Decision)
Luke Kennard (Knee/ Game Time Decision)
John Konchar (Ankle/ Game Time Decision)
Derrick Rose (Hamstring/ Game Time Decision)
Ziaire Williams (Hand/ out until at least Feb 2)
Jake LaRavia (Ankle/ out until at least Feb 6)
Desmond Bane (Ankle/ out until at least Feb 26)
Marcus Smart (Finger/ out until at least Feb 23)
Brandon Clarke (Achilles/ out until at least Feb 15)

• Cleveland Cavaliers Injury List

Evan Mobley (Knee/ out until at least Feb 3)
Ty Jerome (Ankle/ out until at least Mar 22)

The point spread is at -16.5 pts last time I looked so they are probably not playing. But only way to be certain is at tip-off.

The odds seem like a trap being @1.08x for Celtics ML but that seems to be very bad if LeBron and Davis are actually going to play.
Because if so, then this is huge disrespect to them shorting the Lakers so badly.
Probably not worth to take even 1st and 2nd half @1.19x so the -10.5 might be the only market to make it worth while.

Here are my bets for today's game for the NBA

New York Knicks VS Indiana Pacers

The stake odds for this game are 1.64 for the New York Knicks and 2.32 for the Indiana Pacers, for this game Quentin Grimes, OG Anunoby, and Duane Washington Jr. are all questionable if they can play for the New York Knicks, Julius Randle has a shoulder injury, Mitchell Robinson has an ankle injury and can not play for the New York Knicks, while Jalen Smith, Tyrese Haliburton, T.J. McConnell, and Bennedict Mathurin are all questionable if they can play for the Indiana Pacers, right now looks like Tyrese Haliburton is still not in shape and their last game he only played 22 mins against the Boston Celtics so for this game I think that the New York Knicks got a high percentage so my pick is the New York Knicks,

Memphis Grizzlies VS Cleveland Cavaliers

The stake odds for this game are 2.75 for the Memphis Grizzlies and 1.47 for the Cleveland Cavaliers, right now Derrick Rose, Luke Kennard, and John Konchar are all questionable if they can play for the Grizzlies, Ziaire Williams, Desmond Bane, Jake LaRavia, Marcus Smart, and Brandon Clarke can not play for the Memphis Grizzlies, and Ja Morant and Steven Adams are out of season, while Evan Mobley and Ty Jerome can not play for the Cleveland Cavaliers, for this game the Memphis Grizzlies now have a terrible team right now while the Cleveland Cavaliers now have 3 consecutive wins, so my pick is the Cleveland Cavaliers,

Utah Jazz VS Philadelphia 76ers

The stake odds for this game are 1.56 for the Utah Jazz and 2.50 for the Philadelphia 76ers, right now the Utah Jazz Doesn't Have any injuries, while Nicolas Batum, Marcus Morris, and Tyrese Maxey are all questionable if they can play for the 76ers, Joel Embiid, De'Anthony Melton, Robert Covington, and Kenneth Lofton Jr. all can not play for the Philadelphia 76ers, now no Joel Embiid for the 76ers means it is big trouble getting a match against the Utah Jazz right now and we all know what the Utah Jazz is capable in doing now and without Joel Embiid means this is a win for the Utah Jazz so my pick is the Utah Jazz,

I'm on the same boat.  Lakers in prime time won't get blown out.  Bron will turn the screws and keep it close.  Not touching the Knicks game, taking Memphis at home -8.5 (that's a lot to give), and I'm taking Philly +4.5 on the road without embid.  Enjoy the games tonight peeps!

I tossed a couple bucks on the Los Angeles Lakers to beat the Boston Celtics tonight. I don’t actually think they’re going to win but the game is on TV tonight and I might tune in to watch it so I wanted some skin in the game. The odds are crazy so it seemed like the bet to make. I don’t expect to win but I do hope it keeps me entertained watching the game.
