Thanks, it was a hard fought game and the spread, ouch, I got greedy and thinking that they can cover it. Sure, I will try to bounce back as there are a lot of games later.

I'll go with the Bucks against the Pacers, could be another close game here, but let's see if Giannis can take one at the road against the Pacers. The Bucks slight favorite @1.77 ML. I think there's value on that bet.

I also like to go ML with the Mavericks @1.81 against the Clippers, gonna be exciting, but I think LA might still struggle and Doncic putting MVP numbers.

For tonight's game, here are some of my picks for player props/bet builder all unders except for Giannis 2+ blocks. I didn't place a moneyline bet but my picks for tonight are both home teams: Indiana Pacers and Magic. The Pacers played well in their last game while the Bucks had a crucial match against the Pistons, with Giannis getting ejected last game. I chose the Magic due to the home court advantage. Not else. Lol thoughts?

Edit: Magic vs Hawks plays in Mexico so nothing to do with homecourt advantage. Lmao

I’m a Bulls fan to be honest, but the Suns owned them for the past few years. So I thought that this would be another blowout win by Phoenix due to Bradley Beal playing and he had 13 points sans Devin Booker being out for an injury. For sure, the blowout win would happen if Booker was healthy.

The Bulls did compete with an almost healthy lineup but bad decisions had been made during the OT that cost them the game.

Despite that I bet for Phoenix to win against Chicago, but I still lost my bet because of thinking that this would be an easy blowout win for them but was proven wrong instead. With their next game against the Pistons on their home court (which they have surprisingly lost during their first meeting), not really sure about the betting odds but maybe the Bulls would have learned their lesson and get their revenge on the young Pistons.

Yup! Well, even though the Golden State Warriors lost this game it was really quite amazing what happened in this game it was a close game for sure without Draymond Green for the Warriors and Jamal Murray for the Denver Nuggets, 1st half was surely gone with the Denver Nuggets but the 2nd half for sure the Warriors have surely taken the table for this game but the Denver Nuggets have won this. and I lost the bet but even though I lost this bet I surely enjoyed the game and I was really standing in my seat which is why no hard feelings for me, but I got 3 Wins on my 5 bets,

---

Here are the results for my bet for today's game

Milwaukee Bucks VS Detroit Pistons SCORE 120 - 118 - WIN

Pretty much a close game, but for sure all games are so much close for sure, the Milwaukee Bucks did a great job in the 1st half of this game but the Detroit Pistons in the 2nd half were getting their game together but still, the Milwaukee Bucks won this game, with this game the Bucks have let Damian Lillard take the scoring carnage for this game making Giannis Antetokounmpo just made 15 points but Damian Lillard got 34 points for this game,

Brooklyn Nets VS Los Angeles Clippers SCORE 100 - 93 - LOST

The Los Angeles Clippers got this in the 1st half but the Brooklyn Nets got this game in the 2nd half Loonie Walker IV did a great job in this game for sure, Dorian Finney-Smith got 12 points Royce O'Neale has a double-double of 10 rebounds and 12 points, Cam Thomas has 14 points, and Loonie Walker IV got 21 points for this game,

Memphis Grizzlies VS Miami Heat SCORE 102 - 108 - WIN

Emo Jimmy wasn't that helpful for this game and it was Bam Adebayo who was quite doing the job done, Haywood Highsmith got 14 points, Emo Butler got 15 points, Kyle Lowry had a double-double of 11 rebounds and 17 points, and Bam Adebayo has a double-double of 11 rebounds and 30 points,

Denver Nuggets VS Golden State Warriors SCORE 108 - 105 - LOST

This is clearly a great game to behold it was not the finals but the game feels like one, and even though I have lost my bet for this game I had a ton of fun watching it, great spread for the Warriors but it was a close one so for sure any team could win this but the Denver Nuggets Michael Porter Jr. got 17 points, Reggie Jackson got 20 points, and Nikola Jokic has a double-double of 13 rebounds and 35 points,

Sacramento Kings VS Portland Trail Blazers SCORE 121 - 118 - WIN

Another win for the Sacramento Kings and because they badly need this as they have lost 2 times against the Golden State Warriors, but for sure this is a close game and a win for the Sacramento Kings, Jerami Grant did everything to win this game with 38 points but the Sacramento Kings have Kevin Huerter has 17 points, Malik Monk has a double-double of 10 assist and 23 points, and Domantas Sabonis has a double-double of 11 rebounds and 27 points,

The Bucks managed to scrape by with a  two point victory against the Pistons, and it shows that they know how to win. That's important as they're heading to play the Pacers. I like your pick in terms of team quality; the Bucks have already proven themselves as a playoff team, while the Pacers are still relatively young and need to establish consistency in the playoffs.

Giannis isn't even playing his usual game, but he could explode at any time. Perhaps he's enjoying the current situation, having Lillard who can also carry the team, so Giannis doesn't have to shoulder the Bucks in every game.

As much as I like the Pacers, I don't see them being very competitive against the Bucks. Dame and Giannis will have great games and the Pacers youngsters are gonna have a tough challenge. They are a great young team and I think playoffs will happen for the Pacers this year, but tonight they prob cool off a little.

The first game features the Bucks versus the Pacers. Both teams are playing on a back-to-back, but the Bucks have to travel for this road game. The Pacers are the underdogs with a +3 handicap, but the Pacers has been playing pretty well with a strong offense, scoring 134 points against Utah and a whopping 152 points against the Spurs. I know the Bucks are a tough team, but I like the handicap here, giving +3 to the home team. I hope it's a close game, even if the Bucks end up winning.

As for the second game, I'll pass on that one for now, but if Pacers lose, I might consider betting. 

I hope you didn't take that -1.5.

Another split.

Milwaukee Bucks won by only 2 points. Ouch!
Dallas Mavericks lost against the Toronto Raptors. Another Ouch!

Got a bit of luck that Steph missed that layup or else it could go wrong in overtime.
Phoenix Suns on the other hand scared me a bit there as the Bulls really tried to win that game. Durant was so frustrated with his team especially the post-up pass where they made so many errors.

True! I was amazed at how they are playing that well even without Draymond Green where most of their play are starting.
Bench points, that is where the Warriors won.
I think it's 30+ points for them while the Nuggets are below 20 points. Steve Kerr cannot be underestimated in finding that hot hand in his team, he will keep on rotating his players to see who can step up.
I love how the Warriors played today despite the loss.

With only 3 seconds left in the game and no timeouts for the Warriors, it was tough to take a shot because they didn't plan the play carefully. They don't necessarily have to be in that situation all the time. It would be better if they played stronger from the beginning so they aren't constantly playing catch-up and only giving their all when time is running out.

Anyway, it was still a good game. The Warriors showed their competitiveness, and I believe they could give the Nuggets a tough series if they meet in the playoffs.


I guess most of the bettors take the spread since Nuggets are really good at home, so they lose their bet because of that +0.5 the Warriors have.

Murray is lucky to have a good team as they are still winnign despite him resting due to injury.

I just decided just to go with the ML on the Nuggets. They didn't disappoint me, but the games is really very close it's that the Warriors doesn't have enough time and although Klay has the ball time did run out as he made a fumble.

Nevertheless, the line up of Warriors still looks solid despite their age and their experience really carry them in this game against the Nuggets. And this is the toughest games for the Nuggets in my opinion. Games are not decided until the last seconds.

So congrats on those who ride on the Nuggets win, it's worth it.

You have a point with the Denver Nuggets missing a key piece in Jamal Murray as well, I was just speaking about the Nuggets being the favorites, and some expecting that it would be an easy win for them.

I'm sure it would have been a different kind of ball game If both teams were to have all their best players available for the game.


I was one of the people who believed that Nuggets were the big losers in the trade that saw Reggie Jackson move to the Denver and and saw Bones Hyland going the other way to the Los Angeles Clippers, because Hyland was a young and very promising Guard, that I expected could be the face of the Nuggets franchise in the future, but as it would turn that they even still got young Guards for the future of the franchise while trading for a veteran that often is a leader of their 2nd unit, and does an amazing job with the said unit, at age 33! The next one month without Jamal Murray will surely show how great an opportunity they maximized by getting Reggie.

Murray was out too, so Nuggets are also undermanned, if Murray wasn't injured, Nuggets could easily dominate the Warriors in that game IMO. overall, it was a very entertaining game, Curry was quite limited in this game due to the good defense of the Nuggets but it's a winnable game for them, they just made some bad decision down the stretch. 

BTW, Murray is out for 3-4 weeks with  hamstring injury according to report, but it looks like Nuggets are still a very strong team.

This guy is always been an underrated player, with the Nuggets which is playing like a real team, I believe Jackson would be a big help in the playoffs, like KCP.

That indeed went down to the wire, It wasn't by any means an easy win for Denver Nuggets, Steve Kerr's warriors started with Saric and Looney the only two big available for the Warriors I believe that's to limit the effect Nikola Jokic, but there was just no way to stop the Joker, but then the Warriors huge squad depth despite missing a number guys that help out defensively like GP II and Draymond, while Curry was not at his usual best too, the Wiggins and Chris Paul playing below par, the Warriors still showed huge level of competitiveness. For the Nuggets Reggie Jackson is really proving to be a great asset right now for the team.

That was quite an interesting game!

Yeah, there was no green on the court, but the Warriors really kept it a close game. The Nuggets came out on top, but they couldn't quite cover the spread, winning by only 3 points. That's all part of the game, mate. But you're taking 1.88; I personally think 1.95 would be better with a higher spread, but that's just my take.

Anyway, good luck in the next one, and let's hope for a bounce back.



That was a pretty easy victory for the home team. I fell into the trap, thinking the Spurs would cover the handicap, but that win against the Suns had me fooled. It's just hitting me now that maybe the Spurs are overrated, or maybe it's Wemby.

It looks like you are going with the Warriors here against the Nuggets.

But I'm going with the Nuggets at -3.5 @1.88. There are reports that Draymond might not going to play in this game. Even so, the Nuggets have Jokic, and then they are blending very well.

Knicks though has a huge lead against Wemby and the Spurs.

My bets and predictions for the NBA games for today,

Milwaukee Bucks VS Detroit Pistons

The stake odds for this game are 1.13 for the Bucks and 6.60 for the Pistons, Khris Middleton will need to rest for this game and will not play while Jalen Duren has an ankle and is questionable for this game, and Jaden Ivey, Joe Harris, Isaiah Livers, Bojan Bogdanovic, Alec Burks, and Monte Morris all have injuries and can not play for the Detroit Pistons, for this game because of that many injuries and likely most are key players for the Pistons my pick is the Milwaukee Bucks,

Brooklyn Nets VS Los Angeles Clippers

The stake odds for this game are 2.75 for the Nets and 1.47 for the Clippers, Lonnie Walker IV has a knee injury and is questionable if he can play for this game, and Nicolas Claxton, Dariq Whitehead, Cameron Johnson, and Ben Simmons are all can not play for the Brooklyn Nets, while Terance Mann is questionable if he can play for this game, and Mason Plumlee and Brandon Boston Jr. can not play because of the injuries, for this game for me the Brooklyn Nets because of their injuries I think they are in trouble for this game so my pick is the Los Angeles Clippers,

Memphis Grizzlies VS Miami Heat

The stake odds for this game are 2.02 for the Grizzlies and 1.84 for the Heat, John Konchar is questionable if he can play for the Memphis Grizzlies, Steven Adams is out for this season, and Xavier Tillman, Derrick Rose, and Brandon Clarke can not play for the Memphis Grizzlies, while Jimmy Butler is questionable if he can play for the Miami Heat and Nikola Jovic, Jamal Cain, and Caleb Martin because of illness and the injury can not play for the Meami Heat, for this game, I think I will be going with the Miami Heat because of the injuries for the Memphis Grizzlies, so my pick is the Miami Heat,

Denver Nuggets VS Golden State Warriors

The stake odds for this game are 1.62 for the Nuggets and 2.37 for the Warriors, Nikola Jokic has a wrist and is questionable if he can play for this game, Jamal Murray and Vlatko Cancar both have injuries and can not play for the Denver Nuggets, while Gary Payton II has Illness and is questionable if he can play for the Warriors, and Draymond Green has a personal issue and can not play for the Warriors, for this game the Nuggets doesn't have Jamal Murray which is a big thing for them for sure, while the Warriors will not have Draymond Green for this game, but right now the Warriors does have their great 2nd unit so my pick is the Golden State Warriors,

Sacramento Kings VS Portland Trail Blazers

The stake odds for this game are 1.31 for the Kings and 3.65 for the Trail Blazers, De'Aaron Fox and Trey Lyles can not play for the Sacramento Kings, while Robert Williams III, Scoot Henderson, Anfernee Simons, and Ishmail Wainright can not play for the Portland Trail Blazers for this game I think not just because of the injuries for the Trail Blazers but for me I think that the Sacramento Kings has some edge in this game so my pick is the Sacramento Kings,

∆ T. Jones 1+ steals / K. Kuzma 2+ assists / PJ Washington 1+ 3pts @1.97 ∆   X

Not watching the Wizards and Hornets game when Philly and Boston play at the same time, but i do like the matchup for multiple reasons.

The Hornets give the most turnovers to opposing point guards, and Tyus Jones has at least one steal in 5/6 games to start the season.

Kuzma is averaging close to 4 assists L5, and he has had 2+ assists in 5/6 games, with the Hornets giving up the fourth most assists to opposition PFs in a matchup where defense will be non-existent.

PJ Washington has hit threes in every game this season (6/6) with the Wizards giving up the most 3pts to opposing PFs, not to mention the game has the second-highest O/U at 238 points. It's unlikely that his streak will end here.

^^ I like the chances of the Nuggets against the Warriors, it will be a good game but I think the Nuggets still have the momentum with Jokic playing like a MVP again this season. No doubt that Steph will also try to proved his name in the discussion for the MVP, but Jokic is in his prime, so ML for me for the Nuggets.

I will also go with Phoenix at ML here or to make the games more interesting -1.5 @1.94.

Sacramento -6.5 vs Portland @1.74.

Indeed, there are so many games right now, and it's hard to choose with games to bet, but I will just select 3 of the game.

Best of luck to everyone, I'm still in the losing side though so hopefully I can bounce back. 

Even with Draymond Green playing I might still be rooting for the Nuggets in this game. Thank you for the update though, this is a plus for my choice.
Denver Nuggets - Golden State Warriors - Denver Nuggets (-1.5) @1.70

14 games. Wow! It's not easy to pick games so better be careful with our bets.

Chicago Bulls - Phoenix Suns - Phoenix Suns ML @1.84 - I am not underestimating the Bulls, I just know KD can be lethal against any team, it's not easy to defend that guy. Caruso is probable to play, the one guy who might have a chance at semi-stopping KD.
Dallas Mavericks - Toronto Raptors - Dallas Mavericks (-2.5) @1.71 - With the way Dallas is playing, they might keep this number 2 spot in the Western Conference, well as long as no sudden injuries will happen.
Milwaukee Bucks - Detroit Pistons - Milwaukee Bucks (-10.5) @1.66 - Detroit will probably get the first pick next season.

So many games, parlay makers will probably take advantage of this.
Good luck everyone.

2-1 the other night gets me to 16-14 on the year after 10 days of betting 3 games a night.  Tonight going for a sweep I like a lot of games bit narrowed it down to 3:

Clippers -5.5 on road against the Nets.  Nets stink amd clips have been in ny since the other night against the Knicks so no jet lag.  They win by double digits bad matchup for the Nets.

Grizzlies +1.5 at home against the heat.  I like the matchups in this game and Grizzlies at home.  They get it going with a win tonight.

Okc +2.5.  At home and getting no.love.  they win outright....by double digits tonight. Might be going overboard a little but I like them to win.

Good luck tonight
