The only game that I’ll probably pay attention to today is the Suns vs Lakers. Anthony Davis is listed as probable but is still suffering from groin issues which might hurt him considering Nurkic is a bit of a banger. The Suns are still hurting with injuries too but I think they’ve been playing better basketball than the Lakers. With them getting only a -2.5 point spread, I’m tempted to bet them to cover.

Very nice. I like your picks bro.

Mavericks versus Clippers. Hmm, this could really be a good game indeed. I was looking forward for James Harden to go wild too but it seems like the hiatus made him a bit rusty. The last I watched, I saw him wasting an open three-point shot and then sidestepped to the defender front just for the ball to get blocked.
Truly rusty, but it can be fixed. I like the Clippers bet so I am taking it too although the Mavs are the slight favorite here. Clippers ML is enough for me.

Sacramento Kings - Oklahoma City Thunder - Over 229.5 Offensive teams. Fox is still out but both teams can play fastball and I bet the total score will be extremely high.

San Antonio Spurs - Minnesota Timberwolves - Minnesota Timberwolves (-4.5) Timberwolves is just too much for any team right now. 4th winning streak and they might make it a 5.

Houston Rockets - New Orleans Pelicans - New Orleans Pelicans ML This Pelicans team badly needs a win after their 3rd losing streak. They need to break that and bring their confidence back even if it means winning on the road. They got to work for it though as the Rockets are not just going to give it them especially now that they are also aiming for a 5th winning streak.

Good luck everyone.

Boston Celtics for me today is an easy win at home. Handicap on them for sure i think the Nets even with all of their wins on the road arent even close to the Celtics. While the Houston match will be pretty even for me. I would go over points in that match for sure.

Houston Rockets - New Orleans Pelicans
Once again, the Pelicans are going through an unstable period due to injuries. If this situation continues this season, the club will start to have serious problems and maybe the roster will be undergo an overhaul. We'll see in time. The Houston Rockets are in good spirits. The addition of VanVleet and Brooks as 'big brothers' has energized the youngsters. The Rockets have won four games in a row, with Alperen going through a period of brilliance. Alperen's status for tonight is uncertain, his left ankle, which he rolled in the last game, will be evaluated at game time. Hopefully he'll be in the game. However, the Pelicans are also missing and are also a team that struggles on the road. Houston is one step closer to victory.

Boston Celtics - Brooklyn Nets
Boston has yet to lose at home. On the other hand, Brooklyn, who they host tonight, has won three in a row on the road. After starting the season with back to back losses, Brooklyn won on the road against Charlotte, Miami and Chicago. Thomas, the Nets' leading scorer, sprained his ankle in the last game and will be out for at least two weeks. Therefore, for Brooklyn, the fact that the opponent is Boston and that they are missing important players makes this matchup even more difficult. Even though the Nets win on the road, they don't score a lot of points. Boston is not a high-scoring team at home and the fact that they don't lose at home gives Boston the edge for the win.

There are 9 in Season Tournament fixtures for tonight, and a couple of games I'm looking forward to, I'll be locked in on Brooklyn Nets vs Boston Celtics, I've been quite interested in Brooklyn Nets this season, I really love them as a team, to bad they've lost their biggest scoring player so far this season in Cam Thomas to injury, but meanwhile Cameron Johnson another elite shooter would be back into the roster, he might not be at his best so I'm expecting Mikael Bridges to do a bit of the lifting in terms of points tonight, I've got 3 players from Brooklyn Nets on players props.

I've got;

1. Mikael Bridges Over 24.5 points @ 1.86 Odds

2. Dorian Finney Smith Over 5.5 Rebounds @ 1.76 Odds

3. Kristaps Porzingis Over 1.5 Blocks @ 2.45 Odds


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

Another matchup I'll be going in on is Los Angeles Lakers vs Phoenix Suns, however, that will be dependent on my first 3 bets above turns out, and then I'm trying to be sure which players will be available, as Anthony Davis for Lakers and Bradley Beal are still both considered as probable for the game, while these are supposed to be my primary targets, but I might have to improvise if they're eventually unavailable for the match.

I just lost on the Hawks as they haven't cover my spread as well with -2.5. I'm favoring the Clippers this time with +3.5 @1.70 although they've been having a shit performance recently and I think they couldn't fit Harden perfectly on that roster but just a wild bet. Lot of good games tonight and betting as well to Phoenix -1.5 @1.86

Lost both my damn bets.

Atlanta Hawks won but only by one point. My spread was -1.5. 
If only Banchero made that last shot then the Magic would lead by two then Atlanta could try the win in overtime even by just 2 points. Wild imagination only. 
Trae Young with 41 points. Rawr.
Sorry @Dave1 we both lost that Hawks bet by a hair.

Milwaukee Bucks lost. Well, I guess that explains the low handicap given at just -1.5 and the moneyline was 1.92 because the Pacers could really defeat them even with Giannis Antetokounmpo having a monster game at 54 points and 12 rebounds.

Congratulations to @wheelz1200. Almost a perfect bet if you avoid the under 241.5. But damn you did great today picking the Pacers and +3 for the Orlando Magic. Very nice bro.

I would agree that lots of money came in on the Pacers if Lillard did play. I think the main reason why the line moved was because Lillard was announced unavailable in that game, so bookmakers adjusted the spread. The Bucks at -1.5 is still very attractive to bettors even without Lillard, so I guess it's the public play. Therefore, I think the public lost their bets on that game.

The line opened at Bucks -3.5 a few days before the game and by the time the game started had moved all the way to Bucks -1.5. Looks like lots of money came in on the Pacers. I unfortunately took the Bucks moneyline mixed with the Bears under and lost my little parlay when the Bucks lost by 2.

They can fix whatever problem they are facing now; their record is not bad, though. They win some and lose some; they just need some consistency. As for the roster, I think it's an improved roster. On the coaching side, that's something to consider since he is a new coach handling a strong team that is expected to be in the playoffs and a championship contender. The pressure is also very high on his side.

I think Middleton tried his best, he had a good game, and he is going to the post in the last 3 minutes of the game and making it. However, when he missed that 3 point shot and then Giannis doesn't want to touch the ball because he is so tired, the Bucks didn't have someone to score. Lopez tried a 3, but he missed, Giannis tried to go in the paint, but the ball was stolen.

While the Pacers is making shots, playing good defense and that's why they outsmart the Bucks. I think I don't see the fire in the Bucks right now, it could be the new coach or the new players that needs some time to blend.

It was evident because Giannis got tired towards the end. He's not a superhuman, and that's why he needs someone who can help him, and that someone is Lillard. Unfortunately, Lillard was out in that game. The Bucks have been pretty predictable this season – if it's not Lillard, then Giannis is the one carrying the team. Players like Middleton and other high-paid players on the team probably aren't contributing at the level expected of them.

That’s why I stayed away from betting the Bucks today. They should be able to easily beat the Pacers but they’re just not playing good basketball right now. I can’t bet on them until they get some sort of an offense together. Giannis is the most dominant player in the league but giving him the ball and hoping he can dunk it every time is not a good strategy.

Even though the Pacers had the advantage, it turned out to be a close game. The Pacers beat the Bucks by only 2 points, despite Giannis scoring 50+. The Bucks were leading in the 4th quarter but got exhausted in the final minutes of the game. It was a tough loss for the Bucks, and even without Lillard, the Bucks came to play.


The Hawks are leading by 4 points at the half. This game is being played without much defense, resulting in a high-scoring match. Both teams have already combined for 142 points in the first half alone.

The only way to get parity with your bet is to have it being rendered null and void since Damian Lillard didn't suit up for the game but Giannis is firing on all cylinders I guess getting ejected last night had it's effect on him getting all fired up tonight, he's got a chance to record a new all time personal high for points, he's currently got 54 with more than 4 minutes left to play, I knew it was going to be a huge day in the office for him when he scored 26 points in the first half alone.

And worst, they are going to travel to the Pacers home court, so they will be at a disadvantage as the Pacers is also having a good record, they are almost similar, so I will stay away from them.

And it's a interesting game, Hawks vs the Magic, as they will be played in Mexico City and this is a potential expansion city so we will see.

And with that I will have the Hawks at -1.5 at @1.72 as well, same with @danherbias07.

Yeah, that's true.
But still, I am betting for the Milwaukee Bucks here and I am just waiting for the line to open in Stake.com. I don't know why it's not available yet, the game is half an hour away before it starts.

Only two games today. Yeah, after 14 games yesterday, that should be the case.
I like the low handicap given to bet for the Atlanta Hawks.
Orlando Magic - Atlanta Hawks - Atlanta Hawks (-1.5)

With so many injuries in Orlando Magic that should not be the case. Gary Harris is out, and Markelle Fultz is questionable. Without Wendell Carter too as he will undergo surgery.
Atlanta Hawks should win this one with low resistance unless they will have a bad shooting night at Orlando's home crowd.

Good luck everyone.

Edit: Now available but handicaps are not yet set.
Indiana Pacers - Milwaukee Bucks - Milwaukee Bucks ML @1.92

I’m staying away from the bets today. The Bucks haven’t been playing great and the odds aren’t there to bet either side. Sometimes the best way to win is to not play. With Dame shooting terribly and Giannis seemingly having his issues with the change of PG I don’t feel confident they can win every night regardless of their opponent.

It seems like everyone is going to the Bucks here, I might fade you all as I think it could be a trap to deceit the public.
Also addition some 1st half/2nd half special, Bucks/Pacers with a juicy 8.40 odds.



Until LA starts winning that's when they can be trusted, against the Mavericks who's been playing playing pretty well and Harden vs Iving (old buddies), it's such a great match up, let's see how desperate the LA Clippers to win this game.

Went 1-2 last night bringing my yearly total to 17-16 for my 11th night betting 3 games.  Tonight there are only 2 games but I will take one of the over/unders as well

1) gimme the Pacers at home giving +2.5 points against the Bucks.  2nd night of a back to back I like the home team here.  Hali should control the tempo

2) also gimme the under 241.5.  Think the legs on the Bucks might impact the high scoring ability.  Pacers win 121-117, skimming just barely on the under.

3) also taking the home dog in the other one.  Orlando +3.5 against the Hawks.  Love home dogs and Atlanta shouldn't be favored by that much here. 

Good luck tonight!
