I think I got lucky with my pick but the teams to win for this game are more obvious than your pick so it is pretty much easy to predict who's going to win, now here is the result for the pick for today's game,

Indiana Pacers (1.53) VS New York Knicks (2.60) - WIN


The New York Knicks got a great lead in the 1st quarter of the game but the Indiana Pacers eventually got their momentum and took over at the end of the 1st half, it was a close game, both teams did great but the Indiana Pacers just got what they want in playing a great game in Tyrese Haliburton's leadership, the team play for the Knicks was really not that great while the Pacers teamwork was incredible Aaron Nesmith, Myles Turner, and Bennedict Mathurin and all the other guys were the one that Halliburton was trusting and making that double-double 23 assist and 22 points, for this game,

Chicago Bulls (1.85) VS Philadelphia 76ers (2.00) - WIN


From start to finish the Chicago Bulls didn't let the Philadelphia 76ers take any lead, and from the 2nd half the Chicago Bulls were already leading and making a great lead toward this game, for sure no Joel Embiid and it was a struggle for the Philadelphia 76ers, but I never thought that the Chicago Bulls will eventually get this done with just an ease game for them

Never imagined that the Detroit Pistons would win this game but for sure it was a close game sure the Detroit Pistons struggled in winning against the Toronto Raptors but yeah from those 29 consecutive losses they got I thought they would get even further from that, but yeah it was a win for the Detroit Pistons and I have seen your bets you have won 1 out of 4, while this is the result of my bet for today's game

Minnesota Timberwolves VS Los Angeles Lakers SCORE 108 - 106 - WIN

The Los Angeles Lakers got a great start until the 2nd quarter but at the end of the 1st half the Minnesota Timberwolves managed to turn the tables, and by getting the lead it was a close game for both teams and from that the 2nd half was a bit of a struggle for the Los Angeles Lakers they didn't manage to get the lead for this game it was a very close game and yet the Los Angeles Lakers didn't manage to get a lead, Anthony Davis got a monster performance of a double-double of 17 rebounds and 33 points, and Karl-Anthony Towns didn't do well and played only 29 mins it was all thanks to Mike Conley Jr. 15 points, Naz Reid 21 points, and Anthony Edwards 31 points winning this game,

Golden State Warriors VS Dallas Mavericks SCORE 122 - 132 - LOST

The Golden State Warriors did struggle in the 1st half not making any lead at all from start to finish but for sure the Golden State Warriors did a great job in making their play and it was all thanks to Chris Paul and the awareness of the Warriors is getting great every game, and for sure if this continues it will become natural for them and all those mistakes will be lessened in my opinion, the Dallas Mavericks is a formidable team but the Golden State Warriors did a great job in getting a close game against the Mavericks I can not stress even further but it was lost but they got a great game just lessen defense, Josh Green got 18 points, Dante Exum got 19 points and Luka Doncic has a double-double of 10 assists and 39 points winning this game,

Utah Jazz - Miami Heat - Miami Heat (-1.5) - Jazz won. I lost. Great job by Sexton leading the offense.

Detroit Pistons - Toronto Raptors - Toronto Raptors (-4.5) Another loss. Argh! the Pistons finally win and broke the losing streak.

Minnesota Timberwolves - Los Angeles Lakers - Minnesota Timberwolves (-2.5) Crap! Anthony Edwards missed one of the 2 free throws. Another loss. The Timberwolves won but did not cover.

Golden State Warriors - Dallas Mavericks - Golden State Warriors (-1.5) - And another loss. Klay Thompson seems to be having a hard time finding himself again. A very bad day for me.

Luckily, I had one bet that I was not able to share.

The Pacers punished the Knicks for not doing hard defense on distance shots. The Pacers made 23/42, that's freaking 54 percent and that should not happen if you are dealing with a team that is good at shooting three points.

Gambler’s intuition for the win! I wish the odds had been better but I’m glad I went against the grain on this one. I’m happy for the Detroit Pistons too. They needed a win bad as their situation was getting extremely embarrassing.

Gotcha, Pistons finally broke their long losing streak, it was a close game though but a 2 point victory is big enough to get out of shame against fans criticism. But they can't worry about that because they'll still end up as the worst team in the NBA this season, and would probably get the first pick.

Not looking good for 76ers so far, but you got the Mavs and Wolves right, so far.

This might be game where Pistons finally wins because getting 29 defeats in a row is simply too much no matter what but it also should be a lesson for them to actually start and build a real team. Anyway , I've chose to risk 10$ on them ML before the game alongside 76ers , Mavs , and Wolves. 

I am picking a game that will start later so here are my bets and predictions for today's games on the NBA

Minnesota Timberwolves VS Los Angeles Lakers

The stake odds for this game are 1.52 for the Timberwolves and 2.65 for the Lakers, for this game Karl-Anthony Towns is questionable if he can play for the Timberwolves, and Jaylen Clark has an Achilles injury and can not play for the Minnesota Timberwolves for this game, while LeBron James, Cam Reddish, and Anthony Davis are all questionable if they can play for the Lakers for this game, and Gabe Vincent has an Knee Injury and can not play for the Los Angeles Lakers for this game, for me because of the recent questionable for the Lakers even though LeBron James and Anthony Davis could play for the Lakers they will be given less time and surely not in their 100% playing status, while even though Karl Anthony Towns has the same issue, for just 1 person to have injury the whole Timberwolves team is still intact to my pick is the Minnesota Timberwolves,

Golden State Warriors VS Dallas Mavericks

The stake odds for this game are 1.55 for the Warriors and 2.55 for the Mavericks, right now the Golden State Warriors don't have any injuries, while Seth Curry, Kyrie Irving, and Luka Doncic are all questionable if they can play for the Mavericks, and Maxi Kleber has a toe injury and can not play for the Dallas Mavericks for this game, because they have injuries even though they can play for this game they are not in their 100% while the Warriors are all together and has a 100% chance in winning in this game, and so my pick is the Golden State Warriors,

I think I am not too late yet Here are my picks for today's NBA game

Indiana Pacers (1.53) VS New York Knicks (2.60)

• Indiana Pacers Injury List

Bruce Brown (Knee/ out until at least Jan 1)

• New York Knicks Injury List

Quentin Grimes (Illness/ Game Time Decision)
Mitchell Robinson (Ankle/ Out for the season)
OG Anunoby (Not Injury Related/ out until at least Jan 1)
Precious Achiuwa (Not Injury Related/ out until at least Jan 1)
Malachi Flynn (Not Injury Related/ out until at least Jan 1)

Chicago Bulls (1.85) VS Philadelphia 76ers (2.00)

• Chicago Bulls Injury List

Patrick Williams (Ankle/ Game Time Decision)
Jevon Carter (Ankle/ Game Time Decision)
Lonzo Ball (Knee/ Out for the season)
Onuralp Bitim (Nose/ out until at least Jan 2)
Zach LaVine (Foot/ out until at least Jan 2)

• Philadelphia 76ers Injury List

Kenyon Martin Jr. (Illness/ Game Time Decision)
Jaden Springer (Illness/ out until at least Jan 2)
Joel Embiid (Ankle/ out until at least Jan 2)

You're most likely going to be correct with this one.  The Pistons are terrible.  Dwight Howard was even posting on Twitter that him and other blackballed NBA players would be able to win more games than the current Pistons roster.

Today though, call it gamblers intuition...  I feel like today might be the day the Pistons break their losing streak.  Unlikely, sure.  I think they've had enough though.  They want to end this streak and go into the New Year with a clean slate.  Might have to toss a couple bucks at them today and cross my fingers.

6 games today. Here are my picks.

Utah Jazz - Miami Heat - Miami Heat (-1.5) Butler is out and most of their starting 5 are also probable to play. This will be a hard-fought win if the Heat will try to. I don't know why it's -1.5 while Utah has a healthy roster in this game. Could be a trap.

Detroit Pistons - Toronto Raptors - Toronto Raptors (-4.5) Pistons will just keep on losing. We saw them get a lead of 19 points but they cannot preserve it. Without any good back up to fill in while their starters are resting, winning will not be easy for them.

Minnesota Timberwolves - Los Angeles Lakers - Minnesota Timberwolves (-2.5) Karl Anthony Towns is questionable to play but the Timberwolves have already proven how strong a team they are as long as they rotate the ball and they are the top seed in the West so Lakers will have a hard time defeating them.

Golden State Warriors - Dallas Mavericks - Golden State Warriors (-1.5) I failed on my Warriors bet last time. I hope this one will be successful.

Good luck everyone.

Very Amusing indeed I got 1 out of 3 wins for the games today, well picking the profitable games is risky as anything can happen

Houston Rockets (2.05) VS Philadelphia 76ers (1.81) - WIN


The Houston Rockets got a great start until the 2nd quarter but the Philadelphia 76ers have gotten momentum and taken a great leap the 1st half ended with the Houston Rockets with 1 point lead, it was a 62 - 63 lead for the Rockets, then until the 4th quarter the lead of the Houston Rockets just grew exponentially until the Philadelphia 76ers made some minor adjustments that make the game so close that the Rockets was exhausted  and so the 76ers made a great come back in winning the game,

Denver Nuggets (1.65) VS Oklahoma City Thunders (2.30) - LOST


Surprise by the result of this game I never thought that the defending champion would lose against the OKC, the Oklahoma City Thunders made a great lead for this game but the Nuggets are not far behind, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was such a respectable reaching his points to 40, Jamal Murray was such a help with the Nuggets play but it was not enough if he can not make his own points for the team, so the Oklahoma City Thunders won this game,

Portland Trail Blazers (1.45) VS San Antonio Spurs (2.85) - LOST


It was a close game for both teams in the 1st quarter but the Portland Trail Blazers managed to leave the San Antonio Spurs behind and make their move from that the Portland Trail Blazers didn't hesitate and gave the San Antonio Spurs a beating because from that point on they never let the San Antonio Spurs make a lead in the 2nd half, they have sealed them it was the combination of 5 players from the Trail Blazers, Toumani Camara, Scoot Henderson is a playmaker, Jabari Walker, Malcolm Brogdon, and Jerami Grant,

Boston still manage to win the game. I thought it was -5, but regardless though, still they didn't manage to cover the spread as they only won by 2 points. With that win, they remained perfect at home, and maybe next game Tatum will be able to come back again and they'll continue with their dominating performance.

How about the Atlanta Hawks? They were up at least 20 points but ended up losing by 7 points.

This team is very unpredictable, if their shots are not falling, they'll likely lose because of their poor defense.

Well, most of my bets were close odds so it is really hard to predict who's going to win, and with those injuries that a team has it is really hard to pick a team but at least I got 1 win for today's game here is the results for my bet and prediction, for today's game,

Washington Wizards VS Brooklyn Nets SCORE 110 - 104 - LOST

It seems the Jordan Poole 30 points game isn't effective so they only played Jordan Poole for 25 minutes for this game, and they ended up winning the game for sure because of this new Washington Wizard now Jordan Poole is around it seems Coach Wes Unseld Jr. still doesn't know the real play he can make with Jordan Poole around instead they manage a win by giving him less time for this game, and it work, and for this game Deni Avdija shines a lot so for sure Coach Wes Unseld Jr. will used him now for sure, giving him more time for this game and he delivers so much, for this game Corey Kispert got 15 points, Deni Avdija has a double-double of 13 rebounds and 21 points, and Kyle Kuzma got 26 points for this game,

Orlando Magic VS New York Knicks SCORE 117 - 108 - LOST

Even though the New York Knicks had gotten a lead in the 2nd quarter the Orlando Magic Finished the 1st half with their incredible lead and stopping Jalen Brunson with just 8 assists and 20 points, it was a solid win for the Orlando Magic Jalen Suggs provided them with the play they need, Goga Bitadze got 13 points, Jalen Suggs got 21 points, Paolo Banchero has a double-double of 10 rebounds and 29 points, and Franz Wagner got 32 points leading the game for the Orlando Magic, to beat the New York Knicks,

Atlanta Hawks VS Sacramento Kings SCORE 110 - 117 - WIN

At 1st the Atlanta Hawks got a solid lead and the Sacramento Kings couldn't make a turnaround the situation because the 1st half was finished with 53 for the Kings and 71 for the Hawks, the situation will not change but the Kings have proven that so much pressure will just give them the boost they will be needing to get the table turn for them to win and so the game ended with a close score of 110 - 117, Malik Monk got 15 points, Trey Lyles got 19 points, Domantis Sabonis has a double-double of 10 rebounds and 25 points, De'Aaron Fox got 31 points, for this game and get the win,

Just to remind everyone about betting on the Celtics vs Raptors as per report:


https://twitter.com/celtics/status/1740873166669463700

So KP and Tatum are out, against a pesky Raptors, not sure if this is a trap or not, but the Celtics is just -2.5 at handicap and 1.51 ML.

Edit: Boston leading by 20 points.

The Pacers almost choked yesterday against the Bulls after losing their 20-point lead at one point in the fourth quarter, but at least they woke up once the Bulls stole the lead.  

---

I'm also fading the Magic and riding the Knicks to win @1.95 because they can put up points consistently (110+) against most of the teams they face.

It'll still depend on who has the better shooting, but i'll take the side that can deliver most of the time.

It was a win for the Cleveland Cavaliers and the 2nd half was for them to take actually I am still surprised with the result but because it happened the pace for the Dallas Mavericks was taken by the Cavaliers, but It was good for you to get this bet  because you are betting it live, actually I don't really like to bet it live I really want to enjoy the game and not thinking so much about the bet, but it was a good thing for you if it is working for you so congrats, I didn't make any bets on yesterday's game but will be betting for today's game and will be making a bet slip on stake.com,

Here is my bet and prediction for today's game

Washington Wizards VS Brooklyn Nets

The stake odds for this game are 2.95 for the Wizards and 1.43 for the Nets, for this game, Danilo Gallinari is questionable if he can play for the Washington Wizards while Nicolas Claxton and Dorian Finney-Smith are both questionable if they can play for the Nets, Lonnie Walker IV has Hamstring injury and Ben Simmons has a back injury and both can not play for the Brooklyn Nets, for this game, the Washington Wizard is in no shape at while even with certain injuries the Brooklyn Nets can surely manage so my pick is the Brooklyn Nets,

Orlando Magic VS New York Knicks

The stake odds for this game are 1.84 for the Magic and 2.02 for the Knicks, for this game Jonathan Isaac is questionable if he can play for the Magic, Gary Harris has a calf injury, Joe Ingles has an Ankle injury, and Markelle Fultz has a knee injury and all can not play for the Orlando Magic, while Mitchell Robinson is Out for the season, and Jericho Sims has an Ankle injury and can not play for the New York Knicks, for this game because of the many injuries that the Orlando Magic have even though they are favorite to win I think I will go with the New York Knicks,

Atlanta Hawks VS Sacramento Kings

The stake odds for this game are 1.88 for the Hawks and 1.97 for the Kings, for this game Seth Lundy has a knee injury, De'Andre Hunter has a knee injury, and Mouhamed Gueye has a back injury and all can not play for the Atlanta Hawks, while the Sacramento Kings doesn't have any injuries for this game the Sacramento Kings is now going all out and has become great with the recent performance of Sabonis and Fox while he Hawks now have 3 injuries I think I will go with the Sacramento Kings,

∆ J. Randle 20+ points / J. Brunson 5+ assists / J. Brunson 1+ 3pts @1.89 ∆  X

This is the game in which Randle's streak of 20+ point games (currently sitting at 15) might come to an end. The Magic are a difficult team to play on the road (11-4 at home), and Banchero can match Randle's physicality, he is younger and quicker. It won't be easy, but i intend to squeeze every last drop out of that sweet streak.

Brunson will have an easier time against Magic's guards, who have given up some big numbers to opposing guards in recent games. Brunson is 5/L5 on 1+ 3s and 4/L5 on 5+ assists.

It was +850 or 10.5 on decimal. It may vary from sportsbook to sportsbook but the difference is not big.

There's no hope for Detroit, so it's just right to bet against them everytime. Despite they are being underestimated and the handicap might be bigger than it's suppose to be, but they are still bad in covering the spread as they are only 36.7% so far this season.

Though they covered the handicap against Celtics, I doubt they'll be able to do it again on their next game, I don't even see it a close game.

As far as I know it was around 9 Odds for the Detroit Pistons to win the and and Detroit to lead by atleast 12 points at any point of the match was more than 2 Odds, while the line spread was +17 for Detroit Pistons.


If Detroit Pistons had played like they did today all season long, they sure would have not been in a position of 27 consecutive losses, I believe this should be some sort of good motivation for them going forward.
