I would agree with you on that, as they make the Pelicans look bad after the Pels beat the Kings with a good margin. LeBron and AD are back, and they're up against a young and hungry team, the Pacers. I think if Haliburton is limited, the Lakers will easily snatch the win. They have defensive specialists ready to give Haliburton a tough night, so I'm in for the Lakers.

I'm more inclined that the Lakers would be the champion of this in-season tournament as they are a more experienced team than the Pacers though both have high morale right now but Lebron is a different beast when there is something on the line for him.

BTW, congrats on your win mate, will tail you on whose your bet to win the Finals.

Thanks mate!

Lakers energy was too high for the Pelicans to cope with, and that's what you get when Lakers just can't miss a shot, LeBron James finished with a perfect stats. 4/4 from 3PT, while Bradon Ingram, Zion Williamson and McCollum went missing in action.

--------------------

Can the Pacers complete the treble with the final win against Lakers ? I mean they've defeated two powerhouses from the East in consecutive games Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks. Now, the final hurdle would be Lakers and Lebron, can the Indiana Pacers go all way ??

Yeah, my handicap is already busted after the Lakers only snowballed their lead even further, and it should be more than enough for them to secure the other spot for the finals.

I guess I forgot to factor in their bad shooting day against the Suns, and now they're making up for those mistakes.

Advance congrats on your double win. 

I actually want the Pelican to win here, I'd rather watch them play Pacers for the finals than Lakers, I however have a hunch that the Lakers are going to grind out a win here, and it might look quite easy, while the Lakers are very short of offensive options depth compared to the Pelicans in my opinion, the Lakers defense have been really magnificent I'm not going to lie, so that might be the huge deciding factor here.

It's the Lakers ML for me and then, LeBron James Over 26.5 points on the props as well.

The result of my bets for games yesterday

Cleveland Cavaliers (1.55) VS Orlando Magic (2.55) - WIN


The Cleveland Cavaliers got a sick lead in this game the Orlando Magic was struggling to get the score into a close number but Cleveland didn't let the Orlando Magic get any lead at all and was on top of the Orlando Magic for sure at 1st glance I am sure that the Cleveland Cavaliers can make something great like this, it was Evan Mobley and Max Strus that was the back up on the team and the main players making points was Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell,

Detroit Pistons (2.14) VS Memphis Grizzlies (1.75) - WIN


The Memphis Grizzlies had a massive impact in their 1st half and it continued in the 2nd half of this game the Detroit Pistons didn't have any answer against them, it was truly a one-sided game it was like the chemistry of the Memphis Grizzlies was great but for sure it was the Detroit Pistons that was not really that great, but with the Memphis Grizzlies it was Jaylen Nowell and Jaren Jackson Jr. was the back-up but for sure Desmond Bane was amazing in this game and getting 49 points and was a solo player in this game,

Toronto Raptors (1.62) VS Miami Heat (2.36) - LOST


The Miami Heat was exploding with the lead while the Toronto Raptors still managed to take the gap and eventually take the lead but the Miami Heat won't let them take the lead Fully for sure it was really a close game and for this game, I have risk taken the bet for the Raptors as I think they can make a win for this but I was wrong,

Unfortunate loss on your Bucks handicap. What a run for the Pacers and I didn't think they could pull two upsets in a row.

---

I somehow see the Pelicans as the better team for the next match, and even though I want the Lakers to win, something feels missing after watching them nearly lose to the Suns.

You probably would have had a change of thought about your decision after seeing the Indiana Pacers getting fired up in the first half, going into the locker room at halftime with a 12 point lead, but the Bucks are here in the 3rd Quarter with huge 43-28 score line from Dame Time and Giannis to take a 3 point lead in to the 4th quarter, it's still pretty much anybody's game and the Bucks can't get comfortable here just yet by coming back from that 12 in the 3rd.

Cavs are tough to bet against them at home, especially against a young orlando team.  They are hot but I think the right move is going against Orlando for a bit.  Don't think they can continually keep this pace up just yet I expect a pullback.  And yeah I think everyone was shocked at the Denver game but it all fell on jokic missing 22 shots which is insanely out of character for him.  Everyone has those games.  Best know I'm betting on Denver next game.  He won't have 2 duds in a row.

Yeah, finally, although I stay safe with that ML bet of mine, I could have taken more risk, but since this is a 2 game parlay, I'm fine with it.

---

Bucks vs Pacers in the next 5 minutes, I taking the Bucks here, I'm impressed on what Giannis did the last game, -3.5 for me.

I'll still looking at the next couple of games, but for now, that will be my bet as it will start shortly.

Dang I only got 1 correct bet and for sure didn't expect what I see as the Hawks defeated by the Nets and the Thunders defeated by the Rockets,

Atlanta Hawks VS Brooklyn Nets SCORE 113 - 114 - LOST

It was a close game and I never expected the Brooklyn Nets to be this good against the Atlanta Hawks, actually too good that they are dishing some good momentum while Trae Young has so many mistakes with the turn-overs, but I thought that the Atlanta Hawks would win this game, and if Trae Young could get the ball inside on the last minutes then I think that the Atlanta Hawks might win this game, but it was missed and they are calling a foul but the referee didn't give them that, it was Dennis Smith Jr. and Spencer Dinwiddie both got 13 points, Dorian Finney-Smith got 15 points, Cameron Johnson got 17 points, and Mikal Bridges got 32 points,

Chicago Bulls VS Charlotte Hornets SCORE 111 - 100 - WIN

I know for sure that the Chicago Bulls will win this game, but sure it was a great match for the Chicago Bulls that are Dominating the fight as from start to finish they have gotten a win for this one, and the Chicago Bulls dominating win against the Charlotte Hornets, it was Alex Caruso with 12 points, Coby White with 19 points, Nikola Vucevic has a double-double of 12 rebounds and 20 points, and DeMar DeRozan with 29 points,

Houston Rockets VS Oklahoma City Thunders SCORE 110 - 101 - LOST

The Houston Rockets have gotten this win for sure and I thought that the Oklahoma City Thunders could get this win but instead, I was surprised because the Houston Rockets are doing fine, Jalen Green was great, and Alperen Sengun had an incredible play, after seeing this game I can say that this is a new Houston Rockets for sure, Jalen Green got 15 points, Aaron Holiday, got 22 points, Alperen Sengun got 21 points and Dillon Brooks got 23, and mentioning Jabari Smith Jr. getting 18 rebounds, because it was really great,

Yeah, I also thought the Nuggets would blow out the Clippers but they proved me wrong, the Clippers are strong they just need that little "oomph". 
Golden State Warriors won, I thought they were going to lose there. I was watching the Nuggets versus Clippers game and just looking at the score box of that game and the Trail Blazers had been on that lead for like three quarters if I am not mistaken. But sadly, they did not cover the spread. 4 point win while the starting spread was -10.5 IIRC.

Later guys, Semi-Finals of the IST. Yes, that's how they call it now "IST".

Milwaukee Bucks are the favorites against the Indiana Pacers but I will take the risk for the Pacers, I just love the exciting performance of Haliburton so I want to support him in getting that NBA Cup.
Milwaukee Bucks - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers ML @2.65 Going all in for them to win that game. No handicap needed.
Los Angeles Lakers - New Orleans Pelicans - Los Angeles Lakers (-1.5) Lebron James has his eyes set on that trophy, he will definitely try to win this at all costs.

Good luck everyone.

That explosive first half from the Cavs made me accept my bet as a loss. The Magic did show a bit of hope in the third quarter, but they couldn't maintain it and the Cavs shut the door in the fourth quarter.

The home win from the Clippers was impressive. I thought the Nuggets would keep on rolling after the double-digit lead they built in the first quarter, but the Clippers immediately recovered in the second and even took the lead. The Nuggets almost got it together heading into the fourth quarter, but they missed so many shots.

Looks like the Clippers ruined my parlay. The Nuggets had all their main guys as well so that is a bit of a surprise to me. Maybe the Clippers are finally starting to get it together. The Joker had a little bit of a bad night. He still got decent numbers but shooting 9-32 isn’t going to get it done. The Nuggets as a team didn’t shoot well from 3 either.

Sorry mate, seems like the home team are holding strong and I won my bet on this game.
That first quarter was the turning point, Cleveland outscored the Magic by 17 points and Magic weren't able to have a big run although they won the 2nd and 4th quarter.


You guys are right about this one, they won by a double digit, so it was an easy cover for them.

I guess i'm the only one leaning on the Orlando Magic +4.5, liking the extra points on this team when they're 9-1 in their last 10. The Cavs will probably win because I always expect the worst on road teams, but I imagine the Magic will find a way to make it competitive due to their form.



I agree that both teams are bad, and it's weird to see the Pistons closing in on even odds when the Grizzlies are getting most of their wins on the road.

Perfect storm of the Knicks not shooting any 3s they are real good in the paint and stayed away from bricking tons of 3s early on.  And the flip side Bucks could not miss any 3s.    Without looking I think they shot over 60%.  Knicks fan here was tough to watch with them not being able to stop literally anything.  As it stands I sneaky like the Pacers to win this whole thing.

Some mismatches today that might make for a decent parlay. I like the 76ers over the Wizards, the Timberwolves over the Spurs, the Warriors over the Trail Blazers, and the Nuggets over the Clippers (this one goes against the odds). I may even be tempted to take the Mavericks over the Jazz. We’ll see how all that plays out.

I'll go with a parlay in this game, Sixers vs Wizards, and then Memphis vs Detroit. I will took Sixers and Memphis at ML @2.17 odds. It is reported that Joel Embiid will travel with the team and play at Washington's Capital one, so that is a big boost for the Phillies, and we might see Kelly Oubre back as well after his supposedly "hit and run" accident.

Two of the worst team, although the Grizzlies is obviously struggling without Ja Morant, they might give the Pistons another lost here and continue with their losing streak.

Nuggets vs Clippers game that might be very interesting to watch.
