Congrats to @danherbias07 for going 4-4 - you’re really good!
4/4 and a bonus bro. I realized that Denver Nuggets might have a hard time winning against the Timberwolves but they do have a fighting chance so I risk my money for the -2.5 of the Wolves.


I said to myself that I will be betting for the Denver Nuggets but I realized there's a difference that will probably change the game. Denver Nuggets almost won that game if they got wise, kept the ball secure, and scored at every last second of the last 3 minutes of the game. Sadly, that never happened and the Timberwolves won in the end. Although, I feel I got lucky that it ended up with a 3-point game too.  Cheesy

We have lots of games later. Here are my picks.

Charlotte Hornets - Boston Celtics - Boston Celtics (-10.5)
Toronto Raptors - Sacramento Kings - Sacramento Kings (-10.5) - Not recommended. -10.5 is too much.
San Antonio Spurs - Minnesota Timberwolves - Minnesota Timberwolves (-1.5) - Back to back but I do feel they can still win it.
Houston Rockets - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors ML - Another risky bet, but I am feeling the great vibes with the Warriors team.

Here are my picks for tomorrow’s games:

--Cleveland -8
--Boston -10.5


2-2 on this pick. Didn’t expect the Pistons to go down so easily...there wasn’t even a thrill in watching that game, just an easy loss. Lol.

Congrats to @danherbias07 for going 4-4 - you’re really good!

Anyway, on to the next games:

--Boston -10 vs Charlotte
I’m expecting the same result as before since it’s the same matchup.
--Toronto +7.5
Both teams are on back-to-back games, but I liked how Toronto fought back against the Lakers and covered the spread.
--Warriors +5.5
Even without Curry and Wiggins, they’re still a dangerous team. Their two home wins show they can hold their own without their best players.
--Cleveland +2
This team has a 100% ATS, so I can’t go against them, especially against a struggling Bucks team.
--San Antonio +3.5
Minnesota is on a back-to-back and has to travel to face a rested Spurs team.
--OKC -6
I’m rolling with this undefeated team.

I'll fade the Nuggets and ride with the Timberwolves spread (-4.5). The Nuggets had a few impressive OT wins in their previous matches, but they'll be tested even further against the Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves only lost against decent teams so far while the Nuggets had to fight their way back against mediocre teams. I'd imagine the Nuggets will continue to struggle like they've been doing unless they're lucky enough for the Timberwolves to have an off day.

I forgot to bet yesterday. Anyway, we have lots of games later so here are my early picks for later games.

Detroit Pistons - New York Knicks - New York Knicks (-4.5)
Cleveland Cavaliers - Orlando Magic - Cleveland Cavaliers (-5.5)
Charlotte Hornets - Boston Celtics - Boston Celtics (-10.5)
Atlanta Hawks - Sacramento Kings - Sacramento Kings (-4.5)

I will be watching the Minnesota Timberwolves versus Denver Nuggets live so I guess I will pick later on. This is must watch for me as I want to see the Nuggets beat the Timberwolves and tell the world that they are not a bad team. They may have won their last two games but those are against the Raptors and Nets which ain't that strong. If they beat this Timberwolves team, it will be a big boost to their team's confidence. AG is probable to play, I hope he can make it.

Good luck everyone!

Sometimes, it just doesn’t go as planned. If only Dallas hadn’t started so rough in that game, they might have pulled off the win. Unfortunately, they let the Rockets dominate the first quarter (34-21), and really only played well in the fourth, but it was too late. I think we can make a comeback on Dallas’s second game and back them to win. Right now, Dallas is just 40.0% ATS, so maybe they’ll start improving on that.
It was still doable after the first quarter, it's just unfortunate they couldn't get a stop in the next two quarters as the lead snowballed to 20 points at some point in the game.

Then the desperation kicked in for the Mavs during the fourth quarter. There was a bit of hope when they chunked the lead down to a few possessions and nearly forced OT, but the Rockets still closed it out.
I was travelling when I bet on that game, so I couldn’t watch it and just kept an eye on the score. The first quarter alone was already disappointing..I figured, with them playing at home, they should’ve taken down the Rockets, who aren’t exactly a playoff team. But it didn’t go that way, so I’m starting to think this team isn’t an improved version of last season. Maybe adding Klay Thompson cost them some of their dominance since they let go of a few shooters. Not sure, but for now, I’ll be cautious about backing Dallas. I might give them another shot next game and see if they can bounce back.

@stadus, welcome back.. Thank you for the picks.

I would tail on Cleveland -8 and Boston -10.5 ( going bin on these teams.  Smiley

Here are my picks for tomorrow’s games:

--Cleveland -8
They’re the top team with a 5-0 record and recently crushed the LA Lakers in a blowout.
I’m following the trend, trusting they’ll keep the consistency.

--Detroit +6.5
Not a great team, but they’ve covered the spread in 3 of their last 5 games.
I’m going with them to trust them cover the handicap...it doesn’t matter if they lose, just as long as they keep it close.

--Boston -10.5
I like them as the heavy favorite on the road.
After losing at home to the Pacers, this feels like a bounce-back game for Boston.

--Indiana -4.5
They lost 3 in a row.... and this will be their third game in four nights.
Fatigue is likely to be an issue, and they’ve been struggling, so I’ll keep betting against them.

The H2H results are enough to make me take the Mavs, and the Rockets haven't done anything impressive.

It's unusual to see no one posted their picks today, I guess most of us are getting hammered by the underdogs these past few days.  Tongue

I got the Mavs -5.5 against the Rockets, and I had to buy a point because you never know when they'll take things easy like in their previous game against the Jazz.

3/4. Yeah!

Lots of games again later. Here are my picks.

Philadelphia 76ers - Detroit Pistons - Philadelphia 76ers (-2.5)
Cleveland Cavaliers - Los Angeles Lakers - Cleveland Cavaliers (-2.5)
Indiana Pacers - Boston Celtics - Boston Celtics (-4.5)
Los Angeles Clippers - Portland Trail Blazers - Los Angeles Clippers (-10.5)

The Golden State Warriors and the New Orleans Pelicans will play again but I am undecided if I will pick the Warriors again. I sure made some good money on that win against the Pelicans even without Steph Curry but somehow I am doubting now if they can repeat the same thing. Will check back later since it's 2nd to the last game for this day and I will have some time to decide.

Good luck everyone, have a great day.

2/4. Ergh! It's difficult to get a perfect prediction at this early stage. Most teams are still energized and they are not ever to give up any game easy.

4 games later. Here are my picks.
Brooklyn Nets - Denver Nuggets - Denver Nuggets (-2.5)
Minnesota Timberwolves - Dallas Mavericks - Minnesota Timberwolves (-3.5) - Had a hard time picking on these two teams because they are both good but I think Timberwolves' defense will play a big part in the win.
Utah Jazz - Sacramento Kings - Sacramento Kings (-4.5) - Jazz 0-3. They need the momentum but I don't think it is now against the Kings. They also need that win.
Golden State Warriors - New Orleans Pelicans - Golden State Warriors (-1.5)  - Steph is out but I do believe in their young core. They might win this game with just a small difference.

Good luck everyone.

Congrats, man! That was really close until the 4th quarter. Cleveland had a strong run, and a moneyline bet would’ve given you better odds, but a win is still a win. Are you just betting on one game a day or posting one best bet for the purpose of this thread?
Thanks. The Knicks almost looked like they were pulling away when they led by double digits in the third quarter and then the Cavaliers got a few stops to bring it down to four at the end of the quarter and quickly took things over in the final quarter.

I mostly post one bet that i'm confident about since doing two or more bets didn't work out for me in the previous season.

That's nice! With just one bet, you can fully focus on choosing the best option or the one you’re most confident in. Quality should always take priority over quantity. Personally, I struggle with that sometimes because I lose my discipline when I want to have fun. The parlay bets are really tempting, so every time I place my bets, I often add some side bets on parlays, hoping it will make a big difference.

Anyway, the Cavaliers are a solid choice since they started strong, just like the Lakers. Unfortunately, after their latest loss to the Suns, they’re now 1-1 this season. Thanks for sharing, and I'll check back tomorrow to see your winning bets.

I'd better ride the the team that could go 4-0 after this game given how they've been beating teams by double digits.

Seeing how the Cavaliers are on a good start made me take their spread over the Knicks. The extra points might not matter because of their winning margin, but you never know how this game could end.

The Knicks could easily be a solid team at home despite their 1-1 start, but from my view, this is a toss-up game with the possibility of the Cavaliers getting away with a win.

Four games had big upsets today: the Warriors lost to the Clippers at home, the Bucks lost to the Nets by more than 10 points, the Pacers lost to the 76ers in overtime, and the Blazers beat the Pelicans by almost 20 points. It was a good day for anyone who bet on the underdogs. I guess many of you lost your bets. Only OKC managed to win against underdogs for today's game.

Yup, lucky for those who loves chasing bigger odds as underdogs manage to upset those favorite, either ML or handicap those 4 games for underdog gave bettors decent amounts of profits, while on the other side those who loves doing parlays surely loses their bets, the games that they pick ends up not favorable for their selection, moving forward  its just need to analyze well before engaging with your picks.

The dilemma when you bet on underdog is that what is the chance that it will really happen? They are underdogs for so many reasons, hence, having such high odds. I don't think anyone will bet those odds in multi-bets and think that he will get 233x or more, because, the likelihood that it will happen this kind of odds is actually very very low. You are extremely lucky if that will actually happen to your multi-bet with bet amount of 100 bucks or more. This is why it is not surprising that most of NBA bettors here lost in those games.

Just imagine if you had parlayed all the underdog teams in that match-up.... the total odds would probably be around 233. Has anyone here seen this coming and turned it into profit?
Damn! That's huge. But who would've thought that? Cheesy I will definitely be impressed with a prediction of underdog parlay.

11 games later. My golly! And they want to add more teams. Maybe in the future, we will see 16 games in a day.
Anyway, here are my picks.

New York Knicks - Cleveland Cavaliers - New York Knicks (-1.5)
Miami Heat - Detroit Pistons - Miami Heat (-7.5)
Dallas Mavericks - Utah Jazz - Dallas Mavericks (-10.5)
Sacramento Kings - Portland Trail Blazers - Sacramento Kings (-10.5)

They almost lost if they hadn’t managed to come back.

I’m sure a lot of bettors ended up losing their bets, but the Warriors’ loss is somewhat understandable since Curry was injured, giving them an excuse for what happened. This is just one of those days where the underdogs won; tomorrow might not be the same.
