This is a very logical pick to follow and go all in on, other than the fact that I'm not much of a Blocks/Steals guy, especially with how the NBA call or determines which one is what.

That said, this Toronto team is literally a Scottie Barnes team right now and almost everything will be centered around him for the foreseeable future, I however don't see this team being able challenge or go very deep into the post season with this roster, I'm hope I could be proved wrong, though!

That fourth quarter in the Clippers game yesterday was a rollercoaster ride from OKC going on a run to lead by a point to suddenly the Clippers covering the spread through the defensive plays of Leonard and PG.

---

I'll be playing the Knicks spread against the Rockets, who have one of the worst performances on the road with only four wins out of the eighteen matches they've played. And I assume the Knicks will try to get back in the rhythm after a rough 39% FG against the Orlando Magic the other day.

∆ S. Barnes 25+ PRA / S. Barnes 2+ stocks @1.64 ∆  won

Masai Ujiri's fire sale/roster overhaul continues, with Pascal Siakam becoming the latest to be traded, this time to Indiana.

Barnes may be the longest-tenured Raptor right now, and he's only 22...(so, it turns out C. Boucher is the only player left from the 18/19 championship squad, at least for now...lol).

I don't usually bet on teams that have recently made a trade, but Barnes' numbers look solid, and with Siakam gone, this is too nice a spot to pass up.

Barnes has hit 25+ PRA in 9/L10, averaging close to 30 PRA in that span. He's hit 2+ stocks (steals+blocks) in 9/L10 as well.

Everyone needs to keep an eye in the Indiana Pacers now after their big trade today. They acquired Pascal Siakam from Toronto today.

They were already playing well vs a lot of the top contenders in the East, but now they took a step towards dominance. Pacers lines might be worth betting now.

• Milwaukee Bucks Injury List

No Injuries

Hawks ML , Celtics ML , Bucks ML and Rockets ML are my pick for today betting ticket.

Odds are not great at all but Rockets have almost @3 to win and this kinda saves my bet. 

All recent matches between the two teams have been close. Two of the last three games have been decided by a single point. Orlando has lost six of its last nine games and is dealing with a lot of injuries. This could be advantageous for Atlanta. The hosts have a 7-3 advantage in the last 10 meetings. Although the slumping Orlando won its last game, it is disadvantageous to play another road game without proper rest. Atlanta is my favorite in this match.

Yeah, it was a great game between the Sixers and the Nuggets, and it was very close till the end as I have expected. Sixers though and Joel proved that they have the finishing kick and have the defense to play on Murray.

Too bad for my Suns pick, I though it was lost already after the Kings took the lead and never watch the game. But I was surprised that my bet was almost a win as well as they come back.

---

Wolves vs Pistons -  I will take the Wolves by-11.5 @1.85. Bigger risk, but I think the Wolves can cover the spread.
Pels vs Hornets - I'll go with the Pelicans by -10.5 @1.71.

Congrats to those who win last night. Let's keep the winning streak, 

Here are my bets and predictions for today's game I will bet on 4 games today,

Atlanta Hawks VS Orlando Magic

The stake odds for this game are 1.60 for the Atlanta Hawks and 2.41 for the Orlando Magic, right now Vit Krejci, Wesley Matthews, De'Andre Hunter, and Mouhamed Gueye can not play for the Atlanta Hawks, while Gary Harris and Franz Wagner can not play for the Orlando Magic, for me I could bet for the Atlanta Hawks but right now we could never know how the Orlando Magic would play tonight they could surely win in a fashion you could never know, so I might risk my bet for the Magic so my pick will be the Orlando Magic.

Toronto Raptors VS Miami Heat

The stake odds for this game are 2.08 for the Toronto Raptors and 1.79 for the Miami Heat, right now Gary Trent Jr. and Gradey Dick are both questionable if they can play for the Raptors Christian Koloko, Otto Porter Jr., and Jakob Poeltl can not play for the Toronto Raptors while Dru Smith is out for this season, Kevin Love and Jaime Jaquez Jr. can not play for the Miami Heat, for this game, the Toronto Raptors is doing great lately but against the Miami Heat, you can never know for sure the Miami heat right now is getting their winnings while the Toronto Raptors got their consecutive losses right now so my pick for this game is the Miami Heat.

Utah Jazz VS Golden State Warriors

The stake odds for this game are 1.64 for the Utah Jazz and 2.33 for the Golden State Warriors, right now the Utah Jazz doesn't have any injuries, while Moses Moody has a calf injury, Chris Paul has a hand injury, and Gary Payton II has a Hamstring injury for this game right now we can all agree with the way the Utah Jazz is playing right now they have 6 consecutive wins, while the Warriors is really inconsistent and could lead to a lost with those signs, but for this game I think I will risk it for my favorite team the Warriors if they lost this one they can not go into the play-offs for sure, so my pick is the Golden State Warriors.

Portland Trail Blazers VS Brooklyn Nets

The stake odds for this game are 3.00 for the Portland Trail Blazers and 1.42 for the Brooklyn Nets, right now Anfernee Simons, Ibou Badji, Malcolm Brogdon, and Deandre Ayton, are questionable if they can play for the Trail Blazers, Robert Williams III is out of this season, Shaedon Sharpe and Moses Brown can not play for the Portland Trail Blazers, while Dariq Whitehead is questionable if he can play for the Nets, Ben Simmons and Day'Ron Sharpe can not play for the Brooklyn Nets, for this game the Portland surely is hard to make a bet for them as they not doing great and Anfernee Simons is going in this game not in his 100% for sure, so for sure my pick is the Brooklyn Nets.

I almost forgot that the Jazz has a match tomorrow, so I am grateful that you shared your picks. The team is hot and this is my first time riding with them. I like the lower handicaps but the Warriors are in a bad condition so I just wager a - 5 with a return of 2.02x.

I lost my last three bets so I simply need to restrict this time and pick the most secure matches. Perhaps this time I can turn my luck with an ML multi bet on Timberwolves, Celtics, Pelicans and Heat. Heat is my decision match, and you could be correct that it is the ideal opportunity for the Raptors to stop their misfortunes while playing with a pro crowd.

Philadelphia 76ers - Denver Nuggets - Denver Nuggets ML - Lost! Crappy day for the Nuggets, I thought they can take advantage of the fact that the 76ers are playing back to back but they cannot. What is lacking? Like Coach Michael Malone said, "Defense!"

Phoenix Suns - Sacramento Kings - Phoenix Suns (-2.5) - Lost by spreads. The Suns did a great job coming from behind. 18 point lead or 20 of the Kings if I remember it right. They chipped it slowly with a 32-8 run, Grayson Allen, Bradley Beal, Booker, and KD, all these guys helped each other to claim the win. Big mistake by Fox for fouling KD in the last seconds of the game.

Los Angeles Clippers - Oklahoma City Thunder - Los Angeles Clippers (-3.5) - Won. The Clippers are just too strong but I do love how the OKC Thunder played against them, they are strong too.

---

We have 10 games later.
Here are my picks.
Detroit Pistons - Minnesota Timberwolves - Minnesota Timberwolves (-10.5) - Antman is questionable to play but I believe they can still manage to defeat the worst team in the East.
Boston Celtics - San Antonio Spurs - Boston Celtics (-13.5)
Toronto Raptors - Miami Heat - Miami Heat (-1.5) - Heat one of the hottest teams at their 3rd winning streak.
Cleveland Cavaliers - Milwaukee Bucks - Milwaukee Bucks (-2.5) - The Cavs are on their 5th winning streak but the Bucks are also hungry and right now on their 3rd winning streak.
New Orleans Pelicans - Charlotte Hornets - New Orleans Pelicans (-10.5) - After that lost against the Mavericks, I bet the Pelicans want revenge, this should be an easy win for them.

Good luck everyone.

Thanks, though I lose on the Nuggets but I still feel good with my handicapping, LOL. Let's see if I would still be able to finish profitable on the next one.

So on the upcoming games, I'm still making 3 picks, and I just need 2 to be profitable.

1- Jazz -4.5 - Not much explanation needed on this one, Jazz has been hot now, so I'm just riding the train.

2-Lakers -3 - I'm hoping that they already found their rthym after a big win against OKC. It doesn't matter if Doncic will play, Lakers can still match them because they are complete and Roy has played already.

3- Toronto ML - They are in a losing streak right now with 4, so they need to get back in the game. I think this is the game where they can win, although Miami is also good on the road but I feel they Raptors can compete and can beat them.

Congrats, good pick. Sixers won the game and covered the spread, ML is the safest though.
Embiid took over, he just proved to Jokic that he is more deserving to win the season MPV award. But with the numbers he missed, not sure if he is still qualified, but a win is a win, it's a big win as what we witnessed is a possible championship rivals.


I thought this game is already over for the Suns. Kings were in control of the game, even in the 4th, but damn Suns, they are in business, they make perfect plays in the 4th and their good 3 point shooting was the key for the comeback win. However, you fall short by .5, you lose your bet.


@Hypnosis00, great handicapping due, 2/3 is not bad all.

Damn, I still have not won a good parlay yet.
Philadelphia 76ers - Houston Rockets - Philadelphia 76ers (-5.5) - Won! Oh yeah! Thank you Embiid.
Dallas Mavericks - New Orleans Pelicans - Dallas Mavericks (5.5) - Won! Kyrie! My man!
New York Knicks - Orlando Magic - New York Knicks (-4.5) - Lost! Well, that was unexpected. Randle was not that offensive in this game.
Memphis Grizzlies - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors (-5.5) - Lost! This was a shitty game for the Warriors and a good one for the Memphis bench. I watched the whole game and they found their offensive guys through GG Jackson and Vince Williams Jr.

Congratulations to all the winners yesterday.
I backed the Jazz and had a good win, it was fun watching them play.

Later 3 games only.
The 76ers playing back-to-back, so you might want to reconsider the bets or the spreads.
Here are my picks.
Philadelphia 76ers - Denver Nuggets - Denver Nuggets ML Like I said 76ers are playing back-to-back so might as well try to bet for the other team which ain't an average one.

Phoenix Suns - Sacramento Kings - Phoenix Suns (-2.5) - The Suns may want to continue their winning streak while their stars are all healthy so they can rise to the rankings. Bradley Beal had been playing in good condition so take advantage of it while he is still hot.

Los Angeles Clippers - Oklahoma City Thunder - Los Angeles Clippers (-3.5) I failed to win my bet for the Clippers last time, I hope this time it will be different. Don't underestimate OKC because they are also a strong team.

Good luck everyone.

It looks like some of you might have gotten some games last night. I was out yesterday so I wasn't able to put any bet.

I'm taking the Sixers ML against the Nuggets at this home court, currently the odds is @1.83. I think this is already a very attractive odds for a ML and game between two top teams.

Suns vs Kings, another great game, I'll pick the Suns in a close match, -2.5 @1.74.

I've also got the Clippers spread because of the home advantage, but still, OKC can keep it close if they can have a better shooting day compared to the Lakers game, as they're one of the teams that continues to find success while they're at a disadvantage(4-1 on b2b games).

I hope OKC can make it easy for us, but they're still a team that can surprise us with an upset on the road despite losing games they could've won.

I'm going Nuggets, Suns, Clippers all to win.  It's a tough call today though.  It could easily go the opposite way.  The only game I feel somewhat good about is the Clippers beating the Oklahoma City Thunder.  I'm hoping the Suns are starting to hit their stride and can beat the Kings, but admittedly they don't match up the greatest against Sacramento, so that game might come down to how well Sabonis plays.  The Nuggets and the 76ers will be close too, but I think it's the Nuggets game to lose.

We have 3 games only tomorrow, and here's my picks.

1) Nuggets +4

Sure Embiid is back, he scored 41 points on their win against the Rockets, but they are against the defending champion now. Sixers coming from a back to back game, I believe there's still a little fatigue factor compared to the well rested Nuggets.

Sixers doesn't really have an impressive home record, only 15-6 (spreads all covered), so If this will be a close game and they will still win, I believe Nuggets will cover.


2) Kings +5

Coming from a disappointing lose against Bucks, this time they'll play more mature basketball, and might likely win against an inconsistent Suns.

3)Clippers-5.5

Clippers loss to Wolves on their road games, now playing at home and will try to bounce back. So I think it will be a big win by the Clippers against OKC who suffered a loss against the Lakers, also OKC is on a b2b game.

Not a good game for me I just got 1 win out of 3, now here are the results of my bet and prediction for today's game,

Washington Wizards VS Detroit Pistons SCORE 117 - 129 - LOST

I really thought that the Washington Wizards would win this game but the Detroit Pistons got it solid and Jordan Poole even though he played 32 mins in this game he just got 16 points for this game, for this game Detroit Pistons Jalen Duren had a double-double of 19 rebound and 20 points Jaden Ivey got 24 points and Alec Burks got 34 points and two 2-digit score for this team that got them this total score, against the Washington Wizards.

Memphis Grizzlies VS Golden State Warriors SCORE 116 - 107 - LOST

I was shocked that the Grizzlies have got this without their main players for this team but for sure many Warriors fans now are in their loss and they are not consistent anymore and keep on losing, Jaren Jackson Jr. got 18 points, GG Jackson III got 23 points, and Vince Williams Jr. got 24 points for sure the Golden State Warriors underestimate the Memphis Grizzlies.

Utah Jazz VS Indiana Pacers SCORE 132 - 105 - WIN

This is a one-sided match and because Tyrese Haliburton was not on the team and the Pacers didn't what to do, and because the Utah Jazz was all over the place, but for this game I was not wrong in picking the Utah Jazz because right now Jordan Clarkson got 17 points, Keyonte George got 19 points, Collin Sexton got 30 points, and Lauri Markkanen has a double-double of 10 rebounds and 32 points for this game.

I can understand why the OKC Thunder loss in this game.

Based on my observation, it seems like everyone was rooting for OKC. Line opened up at +4.5 for OKC and ended up -3, this could only mean one thing, bettors does not believe that OKC will win. So I took the initiative to follow my analysis and it paid off.

Lakers won, Lebron and AD consistent as usual, but the good thing is that the supporting cast played well.

Russell 14, Reaves 13, Hachimura 12, and wood 11. Hopefully they already figured out how to create a good rotation.
