Yes, Mavericks doesn't seem to be needing the service of Irving now. he was injured and yet Mavericks aren't affected significantly, they were winning and Luka was playing at an MVP level, i think he has a decent chance of winning this season. What do you think?


Big win, you are courageous enough to take -11.5 when the pre game spread was already high. You deserve the win though, it was a 22 points victory for the home team and that was another easy win.

@ralle14... Congrats on the Dallas win, nick pick!

Luka had a triple double ( 40 points , 10 assists, and 12 rebounds).
When Luka is playing like that, no chance for there opponent to win, so i guess that was easy.

Anyway, I'm watching the Clips vs Knicks now and had pull the trigger for the live bet. I had the Clips at -115. now, I hope the Knicks will be tired and won't be able to come back.

You were right, although the Warriors won this game but at some point the Brooklyn Nets were able to take the lead. Warriors barely cover the spread as they only won by 4 points while the spread was -3.5. I would say they were lucky here but if it was against another team who are stronger than the Nets, they would probably lose.

I think the good bet was the over 235.5 as the game went over, 244 was the total scores accumulated for both teams.

Same here, even before I checked this thread I already bet on the Mavericks.
I just like them being the road team favorite against a very inconsistent TrailBlazers which they kind live up to their name as they were always trailing.

Luka already had 22 now, not even the end of 1st half, so this should be a win by the Mavericks since Luka is a GOATing again.


They are up now with a big lead, but can't be too confident they'll win as they could melt anytime.

Thanks, but i'm not sure about fully trusting this Celtics team for now since they would suddenly perform differently on other days. 

I guess I also have to ride with the Mavs since I missed my chances in the other matches and their handicaps already shifted a few points higher.



It's possibly a trap when GSW is currently one of the worst teams at covering the spread (1-8 at home), while the Nets might roll them over after their recent big win against the Suns.

My Orlando Magic came dried up against the vaunted Celtics, hehehe. I thought that they can give Boston a good fight. I guess Tatum and Brown doesn't want to get upset in their own home court.

Mavs vs Portland, I like the chances of Dallas here, they will have to bounce back, -4.5 @1.84.

Warriors vs Nets, GSW is the favorite, but this could be trap for us?

A lot of evenly matched games today but none that I particularly want to watch. There are a couple of easy wins on the table if you wanted to get a parlay victory but I’m not sure how much you’d win. The Bucks should easily beat the Pistons today though and likewise for the Mavericks beating the Trail Blazers.

It's hard to trust the Warriors now even at home. Based on record, they are 5-6 at home and have only covered 2 of their last 9 home games. So with that stats, the advantage was on the Brooklyn nets because they have the plus points. Additionally, the Warriors taking a big lead early doesn't guarantee they'll win as we have seen them gave up big leads in the previous games.

The intensity of the Warrior's game without Draymond Green is different but they are playing on their home so a bet for the Nets is so risky I think as the Warriors are still deadly in their homecourt.

I am more inclined to bet on the Warriors' opponent if they are on the road but at home, I will shy away from betting on this game.

What are your thoughts on the Brooklyn vs Warriors tomorrow?

Warriors are back at home and will be hosting Brooklyn, as we all have witness the struggle of the Warriors, the question is, can we still trust them to win even at home. By the way, those who aren't updated, Draymond is suspended so Warriors are gonna be playing without Draymond in most of their games.

The handicap for the Brookly is +3.5, I'm thinking of betting on the moneyline.

I totally missed the games today but I got a great result with my bet on yesterday's games I surely was late in sharing it here because I was too busy with something but here are the results for my bets yesterday,

Portland Trail Blazer VS Utah Jazz SCORE 114 - 122 - WIN

I was surprised with this game result but for sure the Portland Trail Blazers are inconsistent they now have 5 losing streak after losing again to the Utah Jazz and was surprised with the Utah Jazz even without Jordan Clarkson and Lauri Markannen it was still great Collin Sexton, Talen Horton-Tucker and Simone Fontecchio did a great job in this game and for sure if JC and Markannen is back the Utah Jazz can be a different monster again that is for sure, I guess they can truly become a great reliable team that could surprise the foundation of the NBA,

Sacramento Kings VS Oklahoma City Thunder SCORE 128 - 123 - WIN

The Sacramento Kings barely won as the Oklahoma City Thunder also managed to win this game, both De'Aaron Fox and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander are going on each other throats both got 40 plus scores for this game and I was really surprised with Fox getting this one, and the Thunders can not stop him, but this is one crazy close match and the Sacramento Kings have manage winning this one and for me it was a really great win for me because the Kings is never expected to really win this because of Shai, but De'Aaron Fox is really amazing in showing what he really can do,

Los Angeles Clipper VS Golden State Warriors SCORE 121 - 113 - LOST

Another inconsistent game for the Warriors and this time when Klay Thompson was firing up like this the other Warriors were in their shooting Slump it was crazy but because Draymond Green has been suspended yet again another loss and sure I just need to summarize my bet 1st if a player is not playing I will be thinking 1st if that player will have a huge impact for the team and if the team could fairly be doing a great performance if that player is out, maybe I am really a Warriors fan but 1 thing is for sure Draymond Green really blew out this game by not playing in it,

Good luck @danherbias07, that's a lot of bet there.

I guess I'll be tailing you but not all of your bets. I'm interested on Clippers and Miami Heat spread but I will follow the normal spread, which I would take both at -5 against their respective opponents.

Knicks was coming from a big win at Phoenix, but they'll play a back to back game against a well oiled team that could play good defense, so I doubt Brunson could be able to deliver the same impressive performance in Phoenix.

And they covered it again. Nice. Embiid is a damn monster. 35 points and 13 rebounds in just 29 minutes of play time. That was something.
The Indiana Pacers lost, and now that's different. I missed the game and haven't watched the replay yet. What happened? I see Myles Turner with just 20 minutes of game time. Is he injured while playing the game?

The Los Angeles Lakers also lost against the San Antonio Spurs. What the heck?
Then, the Pelicans won but didn't cover the -5.5. They only won by 5 points.

A crappy day for me. 1 of 4.

10 games later.
I have some picks that are already set.
Milwaukee Bucks - Detroit Pistons- Milwaukee Bucks (-15.5) It's only 1.70 but it's fine for me. Pistons are playing back-to-back and they are up against a strong team then it's playing on the road. All the signs that they will lose is there, I just need to hit that spread.

Charlotte Hornets - Philadelphia 76ers - Philadelphia 76ers (-10.5) Although 76ers is also playing back-to-back games, Embiid had a good rest after they blew out the Detroit Pistons, they will still have the energy to play and I bet Embiid will start it again strong so he can get his rest quickly.

Miami Heat - Chicago Bulls - Miami Heat (-3.5) They met last time and the Heat lost due to Adebayo being injured. He will still not play this game but it's revenge time for the Heat. They cannot let their fans down especially playing at home.

Portland Trail Blazers - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks (-2.5)
Los Angeles Clippers - New York Knicks - Los Angeles Clippers (-3.5) I kind of like the Clippers now. The chemistry is starting and they are on a good 6 winning streak. James Harden is working harder on both ends of the floor.

It was a good win but either way you could also win with the spread. With that win,  Celtics remained unbeaten at home and it looks like they'll keep that streak for a longer period of time. Even if you bet on the spread, you'll not feel nervous since they are in control of the game, it was only one quarter where the Magic had won but that was when the Celtis lead was already huge, so I'd say they score on garbarge time or when no chance to win anymore.

congrats ralle! Celtics is one of the teams you can trust.

I guess one of us will at least win something as I got the Celtics @1.54, and i'm not a fan of the Magic on the road because they've let me down during their game in Cleveland.

I also had to avoid the handicap because you never know what the Celtics could throw in the second half.

∆ Randle 20+ points / J. Brunson 1+ steals @2.01 ∆  won

The plan is simple: anytime the Knicks play, have Randle or Brunson (or better still both) props loaded and ready... and keep milking those juicy lines.

Randle is now on an eight-game streak of scoring at least 20 points while shooting 58% from the field. Dropped 28 against Phoenix less than three weeks ago. Suns also allow the fourth most points to opposing power forwards. Great spot for Randle, yet again.

Brunson has an eight-game streak of at least one steal himself, including three against Phoenix in Game 1. In 4/L5, the Suns have handed opposing starting PGs at least one steal.

And Sixers is already covering their last 2-3 games even if they are into the high spreads.

I like your pick with the Pacers vs Wizards, Washington although they are playing at home, has been struggling with their line up and it seems that Poole could be one of the reasons. I also like the Raptors playing at home, their ML is already that attractive, so I might take them at ML @1.80.

I will go with my underdog here, the Orlando Magic against the Boston Celtics, @2.50.

I do agree that Wolves are doing fine this season so far but they are one of those "figured how to work it out" teams and those teams do not end up being that great for a long time. Either they are going to start losing during the regular season and lose the top seed, or they are going to end up going into the playoffs while being the top seed and end up losing to a lower seed.

We have seen this plenty of times, hell even the title winner Denver Nuggets was that team at one point in their life, they did all they could and this should not be all that confusing to many people, we need to handle something that would not be all that crazy, we need to realize what's going on and just how dangerous it is for Wolves to think they are great.

2 of 4.
The Chicago Bulls won, well that was surprising.
The Mavericks lost, not surprising. Without Kyrie Irving, it won't be easy to defeat the strong Timberwolves even though the Antman had a rough night.
The Denver Nuggets didn't fail my prediction. Nikola Jokic with another triple-double and even if Jamal Murray was in restricted minutes, he somehow made the most out of it.
The Kings won, nice, light the beam.

8 games later.
Here are my picks.

Charlotte Hornets - New Orleans Pelicans - New Orleans Pelicans (-5.5)
Washington Wizards - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers (-5.5)
Philadelphia 76ers - Detroit Pistons - Philadelphia 76ers (-13.5) I don't really like the high spreads like this but Pistons had been losing for 20 consecutive games so it might cover.
San Antonio Spurs - Los Angeles Lakers - Los Angeles Lakers (-5.5)

Good luck everyone.

They played good but not enough to win. This team used to be a dominant team but they have been struggling recently. I don't know if coach Kerr would still be able to bring the Warriors again in the playoffs because this Draymond Green issue recently has hit them hard for sure.

Curry also hasn't been too consistent, probably because of the adjustments they are making, but let them do the job because what we want to see here is the outcome of the games which the Warriors are in losing streak and that only tells the adjustments didn't work.
