Clippers win streak is over, Mitchell and the hot Cavaliers were able to defend their home court. I was not able to post my pick here but I was on the other side (Cavaliers) as I figured out that everyone was so hype with what the Clippers did to the Celtics who have a very good home record, but they probably forgot that this team Cavaliers is also one of the hottest teams now that jus recently beat the Bucks on the road.

I'm also taking the hotter team since they took out one of the best home teams in their last match and that's more than enough for me to trust them in this spot.

The bad news for us is that the Cavs will have Mobley back in their lineup, and I guess that's why we're getting closer odds, even though the Clippers have been beating better teams.

The result of my bet and prediction for the NBA game today

Indiana Pacers VS Memphis Grizzlies SCORE 116 - 110 - WIN

It seems that the Memphis Grizzlies got a great start from this game but in the 2nd quarter the Pacers got an edge and took the game into a Tie, with both teams with 33 points, until the Indiana Pacers finally took over this game but the Memphis Grizzlies have gotten the win on the 1st half for this game, but the 2nd half was all for the Indiana Pacers but it was still a close game for this 2 teams, for sure Bennedict Mathurin have gotten the win for his team without Tyrese Haliburton, but Jaren Jackson Jr. even though the Grizzlies have lost in this game he is the top performer for this game, for sure Andrew Nembhard, Aaron Nesmith, both got 16 points, Pascal Siakam got 19, Jalen Smith has a double-double of 10 rebounds and 19 points, and Bennedict Mathurin got 24 points.

Atlanta Hawks VS Toronto Raptors SCORE 126 - 125 - WIN

For sure the Atlanta Hawks got a great job in getting ahead for this game, but still, the Toronto Raptors were not left behind, and the 1st half ended with the Toronto Raptors lead, but the Atlanta Hawks retaliated with their own shots and got the game tied, with both team gotten 86, it was a close game for both this team the game was a constant back and forth on gaining the lead and a strong layup of Trae Young become an assist for Saddiq Bey getting an alley hoop for the Hawks to win, and Trae Young was the top Performer for this team, Jalen Johnson has a double-double of 12 rebounds and 17 points, Clint Capela has a double-double of 14 rebounds and 19 points, Bogdan Bogdanovic got 24 points, Saddiq Bey has a double-double of 13 rebounds and 26 points and Trae Young also got the double-double of 12 assist and 30 points winning this game against the Raptors,

Orlando Magic VS Phoenix Suns SCORE 113 - 98 - LOST

The game was great in favor of the Phoenix Suns in the 1st quarter it was a close game in the 1st half but the Phoenix Suns were in the lead in the 1st half ending it with 5 points lead, and at the start of the 2nd half the 3rd quarter is still for the Phoenix Suns but the Orlando Magic has gotten the lead for this game and gotten the win even though Devin Booker is the top performer with 44 points, for this game Jalen Suggs had 10 points, Franz Wagner got 11 points, Markelle Fultz got 14 points, Moritz Wagner has a double-double of 12 rebounds and 16 points and Paolo Banchero got 26 points for this game,

Detroit Pistons - Oklahoma City Thunder - Oklahoma City Thunder (-10.5) Lost! What a big upset. Does anybody bet for the Pistons here? How much was it for an ML? x8? x10?
Indiana Pacers - Memphis Grizzlies - Indiana Pacers (-7.5) Lost! Did not cover. But the Pacers win so I am happy.
Orlando Magic - Phoenix Suns - Phoenix Suns ML Lost! The Magic made some magic. 12/36 versus 4/14 in the three-point line. That is where the big difference came.
Portland Trail Blazers - Chicago Bulls - Chicago Bulls (-4.5) Win! This team can somehow defeat weak teams for now and that's it.

1/4. So bad.

12 games later. Oh yes. Parlay!
Teams that are playing back to back: Trail Blazers, Suns, Thunder, Grizzlies, and Magic.
Be careful with your picks. Here are mine.
Charlotte Hornets - New York Knicks - New York Knicks (-5.5) I see Julius Randle in the injury report but I think they can manage this one. Anunoby had been a great help on both ends of the floor.
Cleveland Cavaliers - Los Angeles Clippers - Los Angeles Clippers (-1.5) Both are hot teams, this will be exciting to watch. 8 winning streak is the longest of the Cavs until they are stopped by the Bucks.
Boston Celtics - New Orleans Pelicans - Boston Celtics (-5.5) Zion is back but they performed so badly last time so I will go the other way for this game.
Memphis Grizzlies - Sacramento Kings - Sacramento Kings (-7.5) Keeping it safe at -7 only because the Grizzlies can sometimes be surprising with their newly discovered players.
Dallas Mavericks - Orlando Magic - Dallas Mavericks (-2.5) I am going for the fresh Mavs.

Good luck everyone and have a good day ahead.

I won my bet on that game, I had Pistons to win by 11+ points and odds was x30, however, I have it on a parlay for Memphis to win by 11, so I still lose my bet. It was only a small bet, just a 2 dollars bet, been doing this for a while and the last time I won was a x780 odds for betting on 2 team parlay to win by 31+ points on either team.

That should be automatic, the line now is -2.5. I guess taking it early is good as this could move. last time they played, OKC beat the wolves on their home court, they should play better on their homecourt. I checked on the injury report, Mike Conley is questionable in this game.

Biggest parlay destroyer. The number 1 team in the West lost to the Pistons, who would expect that? NBA is reall unpredictable, that's why they call it amazing things happened because we were amaze with what happen. Another almost huge upset is the Raptors beating the Hawks, good thing they got lucky and beat the Raptors by one point only.

I'll just watch out on next game as OKC will surely bounce back. First game back at home against the Wolves. I know they are on a back to back game, but they are good at this kind of situation, so I'm gonna back them, it's sure another nail biting game.

I’m not a big fan of today’s matchups. Too many games that could easily go either way. Not good for multi-bet opportunities. Might have to just stick with the OKC Thunder beating the Detroit Pistons but the odds make it so if you sat today out you’d probably be better off.

Edit: Not looking good for OKC… Hopefully people sat this one out.

New York Knicks - Miami Heat - New York Knicks (-2.5) - Win! The Knicks continue the winning streak at 6.
Denver Nuggets - Philadelphia 76ers - Denver Nuggets (-3.5) Win! They covered the spread but the 76ers bench made it hard for them.
Brooklyn Nets - Houston Rockets - Brooklyn Nets (-2.5) Lost! 2 points only. Damn it, Dinwiddie purposely missed the last free throw to run the time so it won't give the Rockets the chance for ball possession.  
Boston Celtics - Los Angeles Clippers - Boston Celtics (-5.5) Lost! The Clippers are just too strong even in back-to-back games.
Charlotte Hornets - Utah Jazz - Utah Jazz (-10.5) - Won! 12 points lead.

..and one more loss for the Warriors bet. But that was fun. Watching the veteran top players of their eras has never been old to me.
Lebron proving he ain't affected by age and so is Steph Curry. First time to play overtime against each other which I think made the fans satisfied watching them.

5 games later. One game starts in 2 hours.

Detroit Pistons - Oklahoma City Thunder - Oklahoma City Thunder (-10.5) @1.59 only. Don't want to be greedy. Pistons had somehow ended up their last few games in a close one.
Indiana Pacers - Memphis Grizzlies - Indiana Pacers (-7.5) @1.77 The Pacers somehow can make a win even without Haliburton so I will try now if they can cover this spread.
Orlando Magic - Phoenix Suns - Phoenix Suns ML Bradley Beal and Nurkic are both questionable to play the game. But I believe Durant and KD will be enough to defeat the Magic.
Portland Trail Blazers - Chicago Bulls - Chicago Bulls (-4.5)

Good luck everyone and have a great day.

Surprised with the result I should have taken a parley with the favorite but I was not feeling lucky that night, here is the result of my bet for games today,

Brooklyn Nets (1.56) VS Houston Rockets (2.50) - WIN


The Brooklyn Nets were steaming hot in the 1st half and they got a lead at the end of the 1st half, until the end of the 3rd quarter they were still on the lead until the start of the 4th quarter the Houston Rockets looked like they are in momentum with the 4th quarter, as they are slowly getting back until the defense of the Houston Rockets has shown promising improvement until Amen Thompson got that steal from a pass then connects with a three that got the lead of the Brooklyn Nets to drop to 1 point and ending their Alperen Sengun did a great job in this game while Jalen Green has a double-double Cam Whitmore and Dillon Brooks all got 19 points while in the Brooklyn Nets side, Mikal Bridge and Dorian Finney-Smith both got 19 points and Cam Thomas got 37 points getting the top performance for this game,

Milwaukee Bucks (1.48) VS New Orleans Pelicans (2.75) - WIN


great lead for the Milwaukee Bucks at the end of the 1st half, and from start to finish this game was very one-sided the Milwaukee Bucks got a tremendous lead from the start of the game, Jonas Valanciunas, Zion Williamson, and Brandon Ingram did a great job in getting the game close as possible, but the Milwaukee Bucks is just too much for them, Cameron Payne is on point in his 3 point shot, Bobby Portis Jr. Brook Lopez, Damian Lillard is something that the Milwaukee Bucks is getting those wins, while Giannis Antetokounmpo has a double-double and got the top performer for this game,

Dallas Mavericks (2.32) VS Sacramento Kings (1.64) - WIN


The sad thing for the Dallas Mavericks, was when they got their close win against the Atlanta Hawks after their 3 consecutive losses, they lost again to the Sacramento Kings, many are saying that Luka Doncic is not in shape in most of his games but I really don't want to body shame Luka on this but he seems really OK he was just slow, even though Luka Doncic got a triple-double for this game they still lost it, as Kevin Huerter, Keegan Murray, and Harrison Barnes display amazing back-up for the team Domantas Sabonis has a double-double and De'Aaron Fox was the top Performer for this game,

Here are my bets and predictions for the NBA games tomorrow,

Indiana Pacers VS Memphis Grizzlies

The stake odds for this game are 1.24 for the Indiana Pacers and 4.20 for the Memphis Grizzlies, right now Jalen Smith, is questionable if he can play for the Pacers, and Tyrese Haliburton can not play for the Indiana Pacers, while Luke Kennard, Derrick Rose, Jake LaRavia, Desmond Bane, Marcus Smart, and Brandon Clarke all can not play for the Memphis Grizzlies, Ja Morant and Steven Adams is out for this season, for this game, the Memphis Grizzlies needed serious help with their injuries, while the Pacers just got Haliburton, even without Tyrese Haliburton for sure that the Indiana pacers will let this all out so my pick is the Indiana Pacers,

Atlanta Hawks VS Toronto Raptors

The stake odds for this game are 1.41 for the Atlanta Hawks and 3.05 for the Toronto Raptors, right now De'Andre Hunter, Vit Krejci, Bruno Fernando, and Mouhamed Gueye, can not play for the Atlanta Hawks for this game because of their injuries, and while the Jakob Poeltl and Jontay Porter are both questionable if they can play for the Raptors, Immanuel Quickley, and Markquis Nowell both can not play for the Toronto Raptors, for this game, the Toronto Raptors might be doing well but for sure the Atlanta Hawks for me can get this done so my pick is the Atlanta Hawks,

Orlando Magic VS Phoenix Suns

The stake odds for this game are 2.04 for the Orlando Magic and 1.82 for the Phoenix Suns, right now Gary Harris, has a calf injury while Bradley Beal and Jusuf Nurkic are both questionable if they can play for the Orlando Magic, Bol Bol, and Damion Lee can not play for the Phoenix Suns, for this game, the Orlando Magic is doing great for sure but for this game which is for me I think that this is a hard choice the Magic can surely win this but risking not betting with the Phoenix Suns is there aswell, so my pick is the Phoenix Suns,

The Pacers squad performed great and has won two matches in a row which are significant victories over quality teams, 76ers and Suns. Without Haliburton, Siakam is now in charge of the team. When the Pacers play the Grizzlies, who have also won three matches in a row, tomorrow, we will find out how consistent Siakam is.

You are correct, Boston Celtics is defeated for the second time at home. The match was way off the mark as Clippers easily assumed control over the match to the bewilderment of the audience at home.

I made poor selections, or I was simply unlucky today. The Timberwolves also suffered a shocking loss to the Spurs.

Same here, my first choice was really the Clippers but then I realize that the line was too high and I felt like it was a trap so I switch to the Celtics. I don't think it's the trap man, I believe most of the public bets won today, like these following teams.

Knicks -5
Bucks -3.5.

On the Nuggets vs Sixers game, suddenly Embiid was announce out, so the line adjusted to -13. I think the Nuggets could easily cover that but it seems like they are line shading it, but that's just me, my speculation. 

I also have the Celtics spread between this top matchup, and one of the reasons I took the Celtics is because the Clippers always struggle to cover as an underdog on their road matches.

I checked the Clippers' b2b stats and they seem to be doing okay, so we could still have a close game if the Celtics would have an underwhelming second half.



Edit: I guess we fell for the trap, the Celtics are missing too much that they might get their second home loss at this point.

I Bet yesterday on the NBA games and here are the results

Toronto Raptors (3.65) VS Los Angeles Clippers (1.30) - WIN

Milwaukee Bucks (1.48) VS Orlando Magic (2.76) - LOST

New Orleans Pelicans (1.95) VS Oklahoma City Thunders (1.90) - WIN

∆ A. Sengun 30+ PRA / FVV 1+ stocks / C. Thomas 25+ PRA @1.75 ∆  X

I'm not sure i'll be watching this one, although there are a few lines i like. Both the Rockets and the Nets are on the bubble for the play-ins midway through the season, and neither team has been in particularly good form of late.

Cam Thomas will start in place of Cam Johnson, who is injured, which means he will get extended minutes, perhaps around 30. He's covered 25+ PRA in 3/L5, all off the bench...in the two games he didn't cover, he only played about 20 minutes.

Sengun has covered 30+ PRA in 4/L5, with the only exception being a 30-point blowout win against the Hornets the other day in which starters did not play full minutes.

FVV got 6 blocks in that same game against the Hornets, which actually might be the most unusual stat i've ever seen, dudes a 6'0 point guard. Lol    He should be good for a steal or a block today, he is 5/L5.

Today I'm on 2 games.  Taking the Knicks-4.5 and going to tease that up to -8.5 too.  I think Knicks win by 10 easily.  Also I'm on the Nuggets-3.5 and taking embid over 40+ points.  You know he wants to put in a statement game against jokic.  I expect no less than 30 shot attempts.  But in the end Denver is a better all around time.

Sorry bro, the Houston Rockets won in a blowout game. Jalen Green went superstar mode.
It did went the other way. OKC Thunder is really a tough team to beat.
Indiana Pacers - Phoenix Suns - Phoenix Suns (-2.5) - Lost. Ergh! I was hoping for overtime, a deuce should be good but Booker lost the ball for a moment so he was forced to make a three that was contested well.
Charlotte Hornets - Houston Rockets - Houston Rockets (-3.5) - Win! Even without Jabari Smith they managed a win.
Atlanta Hawks - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks ML @2.00 - Win! Luka super saiyan!
Toronto Raptors - Los Angeles Clippers - Los Angeles Clippers (-5.5) - Win! No problemo!
New Orleans Pelicans - Oklahoma City Thunder - New Orleans Pelicans (-1.5) - Lost!

10 games later. Lots of teams playing back-to-back games. Bucks, Clippers, Pelicans, Rockets, Spurs, and Mavericks.

This is going to be a tough decision as we need to consider their fatigue.
Here are my picks.
New York Knicks - Miami Heat - New York Knicks (-2.5) - As I said before, I don't trust the Miami Heat yet unless they win a game, especially against the strong Knicks on their 5th winning streak.
Denver Nuggets - Philadelphia 76ers - Denver Nuggets (-3.5) - Fun game, now homecourt of the Nuggets. Tobias Harris and Tyrese Maxey are questionable to play.
Brooklyn Nets - Houston Rockets - Brooklyn Nets (-2.5) - Homecourt advantage and an exhausted team. Nets should win this one.
Boston Celtics - Los Angeles Clippers - Boston Celtics (-5.5) - Both are on a good win streak but the Clippers just played yesterday and it's Boston's home. Only one team defeated them at their home. The Nuggets.
Charlotte Hornets - Utah Jazz - Utah Jazz (-10.5)

Good luck everyone and have fun.

It could be best to just avoid a game that we aren't sure of. If this looks like a trap and we don't like betting on the opposite team, we should sit this one out. There are other games on the board tomorrow, and I find the following games to be interesting, I'll highlight the teams that I'm picking.

Lakers +2.5 at Warriors
Sacramento -2.5 at Dallas
Sixers +4.5 at Nuggets

Something to watch on how the Celtics will beat this team. Sorry. I just felt like it's a big trap, although Zubac is out but they were still winning without him, and for one of the hottest teams in the NBA now getting +7 on the road, that sounds odd. I'm leaning with the Celtics here.

Yeah right, the Pacers are doing good at sharing the ball, and they are not just let the Suns get this win. I also assume that they will just cover the handicap as the Suns were in a good lead till the 3rd quarter, but surprisingly, they dominated the 4th and got that last winning basket with under 10 seconds left on the clock.

Lucky for those who bet on a live game and entrust their luck to the Pacers, not sure what odds are but with that huge lead before the 4th quarter and against a very offensive team, xx of your money if you place your bet on the home team.

Celtics are no longer undefeted at home, and they are playing the Clippers who are one of the hottest team, I think the +7 for the Clippers is quite very attractive. But if you bet on the Celtics to win straight up, that could hit with a high percentage.
