You are lucky with your sportsbook as mine is -9.5. However, I don't see the Bucks dominating the Jazz here easily now that the Jazz are playing with a complete squad. Bucks are good but they are sometimes inconsistent, so I guess I'm gonna be on the other side, taking the + points as Bucks are just good at home, hoping Jazz will cover somehow.

Bucks are 16-3 at home, while Jazz are 6-15 on the road, judging by the stats, Bucks should be the play, but like I said, they are sometimes inconsistent, hopefully they will here.

Yep, it was a really a team effort from the Lakers, they all contributed and really work very hard to get this win.

I'm looking at the Bucks vs Utah game, and I think the Bucks will win to bounce back here, it will be in their homecourt and maybe Giannis exploding again with a huge game same with Lilard. So they want win with a double digit here.

Line starts at -7.5.

It was indeed a deserved win for the Lakers, this time around it wasn't just Anthony Davis and Lebron James, or Austin Reaves bailing them out, every guy out fit or coming from a rough patch contributed significant to the victory, D'Angello Russell, Chris Wood, Prince and Jared all signifcant impact to Lakers the W, hopefully this can help them find some rhythm down their next few games when AD and Reaves or Lebron can't help save the day.

There's no need to apologize and well done on believing the Lakers. 

The Clippers kept it close despite missing so many shots today, going below 40% in FGs, and I was hoping for a potential OT in the fourth when they went on a small run to tie the game.

The Lakers got their well-deserved win after getting those back to back buckets in the final few minutes.

Congratulations, Lakers did it, beat the hottest team in the NBA and they stopped their losing streak. It was a close game but I don't understand why coach Tyronn Lue used his last timeout with less than 3 minutes left in the game. That's plenty of time left, I don't know, maybe he didn't pay attention to their remaining TO because he probably forgot they lose one TO when their challenge was unsuccessful.

Sorry mate, I'm going on the opposite team. I just felt that the Lakers will win tonight and will stop their losing streak. They are struggling, a good win here will again boost their confidence. Pretty sure everyone is thinking that Clippers will easily beat the Lakers, but I did back my old Lebron for their team to win straight up.  

I already gave a hint on what i'll be betting and that's the Clippers. Regardless of the handicap moving by a few points, i'll still take them due to their underwhelming results and the Clippers don't have anyone missing from their lineup.

Even if the Lakers have most of their players ready to play, i'm still confident with the Clippers extending their win streak and covering the spread.

Because I haven't made any bets Yesterday here is my bet for today's game

Phoenix Suns VS Memphis Grizzlies

The stake odds for this game are 1.54 for the Phoenix Suns and 2.55 for the Memphis Grizzlies, right now Kevin Durant, Eric Gordon, and Damion Lee are all questionable if they can play for the Suns Bol Bol and Nassir Little can not play for the Phoenix Suns because of their injuries while Ja Morant, and Vince Williams Jr. both are questionable if they can play for the Grizzlies Steven Adams is Out for this season, Derrick Rose and Brandon Clarke both can not play for the Memphis Grizzlies because of their injuries, so for this game I truly because that the Memphis Grizzlies could have a disadvantage in this game because of their injuries Ja Morant is not in his 100% he could play but with limited time because of this my pick is the Phoenix Suns,

Golden State Warriors VS Toronto Raptors

The stake odds for this game are 1.75 for the Golden State Warriors and 2.13 for the Toronto Raptors, right now Jonathan Kuminga is questionable if he can play for the Warriors, and Chris Paul, and Gary Payton II both have injuries Draymond Green are suspended, and all can not play for the Golden State Warriors, while Gary Trent Jr. is questionable if he can play for the Raptors Christian Koloko and Otto Porter Jr. can not play for the Toronto Raptors, so for this game even with the injuries of the Warriors they still have the reliable newbies while Otto Porter is a big lost for the Raptors so for this game my pick in non other than Golden State Warriors,

Los Angeles Lakers VS Los Angeles Clippers

The stake odds for this game are 2.75 for the Los Angeles Lakers and 1.48 for the Los Angeles Clippers, right now Anthony Davis and D'Angelo Russell are questionable if they can play for the Lakers, and Rui Hachimura and Gabe Vincent can not play for the Los Angeles Lakers while Moussa Diabate has a hand injuries and can not play for the Los Angeles Clippers, for this game because of the many injuries of the Lakers and that includes a Anthony Davis that is not in his 100% play time and because the Lakers is inconsistent with the regular games and the Clippers is doing great right now my pick is the Los Angeles Clippers,

Huston beat Bucks, it was a game that I didn't watch in real time, but I could see the highlights. In the first period Huston did very well as they managed to win by a difference of 11 points, in the second period they won again by a large difference of points, there was a difference of 9 points. but things started to not go well in the remaining periods, for example in the third period in which they lost by a difference of 4 points and again in the fourth period they lost by a difference of 8 points. huston's luck was that they managed to win with big advantages in the first two periods, if they hadn't done well in the first periods, then they would have lost this game

In another game today in my country's time, Philadelphia played against Utah and lost, it was a game in which Philadelphia did poorly in the first period and lost by a difference of 4 points, but in the second period Utah performed poorly and They lost by a difference of 3 points, allowing Philadelphia to win. Bettors probably thought that the third period would be more balanced, but Utah won with a difference of 7 points, which showed clear favoritism and in the fourth period Utah won again with a difference of 3 points. In that game Utah did well, they only declined in performance in the second period, but they quickly recovered

Indiana played against Celtic, in that game the Celtics started very well by winning in the first period by a difference of 12 points, which was a big step towards fighting for victory, but in the second period the Celtics declined in performance and lost by a difference 3 points, something that shook the Celtics in the third period, they lost again and this time they lost by a difference of 6 points. but in the fourth period the Celtics won by a difference of 14 points. Today there are 2 more games and tomorrow there are more games, I'm thinking whether to bet on any of them or not

In 20 minutes one game will start. We have 9 games today.

Here are my picks for today.
Cleveland Cavaliers - San Antonio Spurs - Cleveland Cavaliers (-10.5) - Surely, the Spurs can sometimes make some miracle because of Wemby but they still lack chemistry with him. That game against the Bucks was cool but they still lost. Devin Vassell is actually the one carrying their offense and I think he will keep that hot rhythm. Still, this is Cavaliers we are talking with Donovan Mitchell on the front lines.

Brooklyn Nets - Portland Trail Blazers - Brooklyn Nets (-10.5) I love how the Nets are playing even without a supreme leader. They are sharing the ball and their performance against the Thunder was amazing, a great upset. I lost my bet there so now I am tailing the Nets.

Sacramento Kings - New Orleans Pelicans - Sacramento Kings (-1.5) Light the beam! 2 win streak. Time to make it three.

Orlando Magic - Atlanta Hawks - Atlanta Hawks ML - Magic is the favorite but they are going to miss a lot of guys. Franz Wagner is out with an ankle injury and so is Joe Ingles. Bitadze is questionable to play, and so are Fultz and Wendell Carter Jr. They might end up undermanned in this game with Paolo Banchero, Cole Anthony, and Moritz as the able ones to play.

Phoenix Suns - Memphis Grizzlies - Phoenix Suns (-2.5) I still don't believe in the power of the Grizzlies although they won against the Lakers. Offensive power, the Suns will probably dominate.

Good luck everyone.

I haven't made a bet for today's game but here is the result of my bet on Yesterday's game, I was late uploading this so here it is,

Indiana Pacers (1.67) VS Atlanta Hawks (2.27) - WIN


In the early portion of the 1st quarter the Indiana Pacers were dominating this game, so we can say that the Pacers now had a good play for this game they were not rushing even though Tyrese Haliburton was not handling the ball, and that level of cool for the Pacers was incredible in making this game a win for them and a great spread for the team, they even stopped Trae Young in his tracks even though Dejounte Murray got 30 points for this game the spread for the Pacers team was really solid, and Haliburton was really amazing making those plays, Bennedict Mathurin, T.J. McConnell made a double-double, Bruce Brown Jr. and Myles Turner was along the player that did great along with Tyrese Haliburton,

Cleveland Cavaliers (1.20) VS Washington Wizards (4.80) - WIN


The Cleveland Cavaliers were firing up in the 1st half against the Washington Wizards it was a one-sided game for sure Jordan Poole is nowhere to be found in this game it was like he didn't exist at all, Tyus Jones and Bilal Coulibaly was the two that are making a progress with the Washington Wizards but Donovan Mitchell, was the one who is taking the lead for this game, along with Georges Niang, and Jarett Allen was the one that is making the points go up and Caris LeVert was the playmaker for the team, making a double-double towards the game,

Brooklyn Nets (2.75) VS Oklahoma City Thunders (1.48) - LOST


Great signs for Nix Claxton and Spencer Dinwiddie and it was really enough as the OKC Thunders still didn't manage to defeat the Brooklyn Nets, and the Brooklyn Nets made a win without Victor Wembanyama, well, it was Shai Gilgeous-Alexander that made the Thunders got into the action as the Nets provided a great lost against the OKC Thunders it was a solid game but I thought that the OKC would win that is why I go and give a go with  it but was shocked that the Oklahoma City Thunders and a 1 sided game in unbelievable,

Look how foolish I look after all games end. Like , what was I thinking to place a bet on Pacers ? sure , it was a great idea to keep the momentum on their side and place a bet on that winning streak but Celtics really gave them no chance to win. However , I got lucky with Jazz and Knicks but my bet still got ruined by Pacers with pretty decent odds...

What matters though is that they were able to cover the spread. It's a game of run, we should be ready with it. But knowing what the Wizards can do, they'll like not gonna be able to sustain their run, it's a battle of consistency and NYK had that.

I think it was a nice decision because Pacers were the public play. I mean, getting +7 after they dismantled the Bucks and Hawks, that's very atractive. Nice to know you were clever.


I believe the Lakers are very desperate to get back winning, so I'm gonna wait for the live and take an ML odds for clippers with 2.00 + or I will bet on the Lakers +4.

That early run from the Wizards also surprised me as I tuned back to the live feed to see the Knicks only lead by 6 points after getting 20+ points during the first half.

I'm glad I switched my pick and skipped the Pacers because they also had a trend where they struggled on b2b matches.

I'll probably back the Clippers for tomorrow's game as the odds are great @1.60 and i'm always down to fade the Lakers when they've only had a single home win since last month.

I was surprised to see the Wizards making some good runs to come within distance in the 3rd Quarter, but just like they were against te 76ers, the Knicks were quick to quench the fire before it became a wildspread, and closed out the game perfectly.

Pacers vs Celtics was just another interesting encounter as it often is, but there were quite a number of strange circumstances like huge foul troubles, I'd say it took a whole lot of discipline for the Celtics to have won this game with a lot of help from their bench and role players stepping up when it mattered most.

Just like I anticipated; the Utah Jazz were eventually too hot to handle for 76ers without their Big man, Paul Reed did put up a good performance but we all know how much of a void Embiid's impact in this team is for Reed to ever think of filling.

Thanks but currently not looking so good on either bet. Philly down 1 at halftime and the colts down 7-3. Still a long way to go in both but not the start I was hoping for.

This Knicks prediction by @ralle14 was right on the money. They are up 20 points and just slaughtering this Wizards team. 63-43 at the half.
Wish I took them and put them in a solid acca along with my NFL prediction which I am also confident with and currently in-progress at the same time as this NBA match.

Good luck to us both with our NFL pick @yahoo62278

I got Philly to win on the moneyline tonight along with an NFL game. Philly was a big favorite, but without Embiid I was never gonna give the 6 points that the line is. Hoping Maxey can take over the game and get them a win.

Yeah, no pick would make more sense, especially with the Knicks playing against an horrible Washington Wizard team with no bearing.

I think I fancy the Boston Celtics a lot today too, they're up against a good Indiana Pacers team, but there is a score to settle for them, I hope they don't rely on their usual 3s and zero paint points today.

Philly without Embiid isn't something I'm very confident of, even though I'll back Tyrese Maxey on every props line he's got!
