Oh ok, I thought that he will be playing and be the main main to contained Jokic. So it will be in the hands of Saric and Looney and so Jokic could have a easy time posting and then showing his skills in passing. Although he has to play defense specially in Saric as he can shoot the ball.

I guess for others a 1.63 ML will be a good bet already for the Nuggets.

You just have to put some decent money on them without thinking what will be the handicap. Although for those interested, it's not bad as well, +/-1.5.

No Draymond tonight for the Warriors as they take on the Denver Nuggets. Given the already large size difference between the teams I think this will be problematic for the Warriors. Jokic should have himself quite a night. Draymond isn’t injured or anything as he’s listed as being out for personal reasons. Still, the Nuggets should easily get this win. We’ll see…

Let's resume betting after 1 day of break.

Clippers will be tested again against the Nets this time who is currently 0-3 at home ,haven't won a hope game yet so this is quite very unpredictable as the Clippers will likely play harder this time too since they are already in a losing streak.

Both teams have 2 straight losses but I like to bet to see Harden finally get a win, so I'm putting my bet on the road team which is favored by -4.5

Also betting on Spurs moneyline @4.80. 

My 12-game long parlay was defeated right off the bat.
I was an idiot for believing the Washington Wizards could cover a 10-point spread after I added them in my parlay at +10.5 points. The 76ers destroyed them with an 18-point lead at the end.
Anyway, it's still going to lose after the LA Clippers were defeated by the New York Knicks. Not a good debut for James Harden.

There are still games being played as of the time of writing.
Denver Nuggets versus the New Orleans Pelicans is just entering the 2nd half.
I think I am taking the risk at the Nuggets ML. @2.60. Pelicans is at the lead of 12 points. It's not that the Nuggets are not playing defense, it's just that the Pelicans played better offensively in the first half. Let's see if they can still recover in the 3rd.

Went 1-2 on Saturday night and am 14-13 against the book after 9 days of betting.  Here are tonight's 3 picks:

I'm taking the Bucks-4.5 against the Nets.  Not liking the Nets at all this season and that's a pretty low spread even if it's on the road.

Give me okc at home -1.5, basically a pickem game and I like this young team.  They should play well at home tonight.

And riding the Champs at home.  -6.5 against the Pelicans.  Gonna be riding Denver a lot until they show me I can't trust them.

Good luck tonight everyone!

Here are the results for today's game on the NBA and I think I am pretty much lucky,

Cleveland Cavaliers(1.80) VS Golden State Warriors (2.06) - WIN


For sure I thought that the Golden State Warriors would win this one again, but I think they are out of juice right now so I was really relieved to go all with the favorites, I thought their demolition win would never stop but I guess CP3 is out of juice in this game, but anyway Donovan Mitchell was firing up for sure,

Dallas Mavericks (1.16) VS Charlotte Hornets (5.60) - WIN


For sure I thought that the Charlotte Hornets would win this because they were doing great at the beginning of the game but for sure Luka Doncic, Grant Williams, Kyrie Irving, and Tim Hardaway Jr. have put the Hornets in their place as the 2nd half they have turn the tables for sure,

Portland Trail Blazer (2.29) VS Memphis Grizzlies (1.66) - WIN


For sure the Portland Trail Blazers are doing a great job in the 1st quarter but the Memphis Grizzlies just had enough losses for this season, and I was really right to get the bet on them as they could somehow turn the table for this season for sure, but this time Jaren Jackson Jr. and Desmond Bane made a great job in this game for sure but I guess I have bet because they are the favorite but yeah I was lucky,

My picks for the upcoming games are the following teams:

1-Knicks +1.5
2-Jazz +4
3-Kings +1.5
4-OKC +3.5

All of them are underdogs, but I believe they will play harder to get back on the winning track, especially since they've all already suffered 2 losses. I considered using a martingale strategy, but since the game schedules are very close, I've decided to place a single bet on each of them.

Damn, I should've taken the Dallas Mavericks against the Charlotte Hornets bet instead of the Warriors bet. 

Not a good day. 2/4.
Luckily, that Over 218.5 for that Warriors versus Cavaliers game was just the exact amount to give me the split.  The total was 219.
Just like I predicted about the Phoenix Suns, they will definitely win that game against the Detroit Pistons. Kevin Durant with a monster game recording 41 points and Eric Gordon helped out with 21 points. Very nice. A good win to break the losing streak.

Warriors. Crappy 2nd quarter. They cannot find their offense and they are playing like there's no written play. Kuminga not himself. CP3 seems to be confused too. Wiggins seems to be having trouble with shooting range. Layups missing like there's a lid on the rim. Maybe it's the traveling problem but they need to get used to it because their schedule is going to be a restless one.

Congratulations to all the winners.

I forgot to post it here because I was busy attending to something and because most of my bets are lost I was really hesitant in showing the results but here is the result for my bet for games today anyway,

Cleveland Cavaliers VS Golden State Warriors SCORE 115 - 104  - LOST

Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland did a great job in taking the momentum of the Warriors and there were also Pick and Rolls for the Cavaliers but this time there was something wrong with Chris Paul who played 25 minutes in this game but managed to just make 1 rebound, 2 assist and 5 points for this game and for sure the Cleveland Cavaliers also have a great play and this is not the Golden State Warriors night and there are not many calls for the Warriors for fouls and they are playing in the home of the Cavaliers,

Dallas Mavericks VS Charlotte Hornets SCORE 124 - 118 - WIN

The Hornets had gotten this game in the 1st half until a sudden burst for Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving, Grant Williams, and Tim Hardaway Jr. got the 2nd half for the Mavericks to win Tim Hardaway Jr. got 16 points, Grant Williams had 18 points Kyrie Irving has a double-double of 10 assist and 18 points and Luka Doncic also have a double-double of 12 rebounds and 23 points for this game, and my only winning bet,

Portland Trail Blazer VS Memphis Grizzlies SCORE 100 - 112 - LOST

Now I really thought that the Memphis Grizzlies were already washed and that the Portland Trail Blazer was now doing something great for the team but Jaren Jackson Jr. and Desmond Bane have shown that they are just getting started, for this season, as Luke Kennard has 15 points, Jaren Jackson Jr. has 27 points, and Desmond Bane has a 30 points and another lost for sure,

I think this is my late post for the NBA In Season Tournament 1st game this season (I forgot) and here are the results

Milwaukee Bucks VS New York Knicks SCORE 110 - 105 - WIN

Just as I thought that the Milwaukee Bucks would do something to make a win this time and because they keep on losing now they have managed to work it out with Dame Time this time and the other players as chess pieces in the making Damian Lillard their main Scorer, with this game MarJon Beauchamp and Brook Lopez both have 13 points, Jae Crowder has 14 points, Giannis Antetokounmpo has 22 points and Damian Lillard has 30 points,

Miami Heat VS Washington Wizards SCORE 121 - 114 - WIN

Now! it is no wonder that Emo Buckets is starting to feel the effect of the change in his hair but the change of team for Jordan Poole might be the one that is taking more effect on him, as this game has become a close game on the 1st half but on the 2nd half the Heat then manages to take the big lead for them while the Wizard was taking the a small step in following the lead but they didn't manage to take it, with Bam Adebayo and Duncan Robinson both has 18 points, Jimmy Butler has 20 points and Tyler Herro has a double-double of 10 rebounds and 24 points,

Oklahoma City Thunders VS Golden State Warriors SCORE 139 - 141 - WIN

Now! It's a great game for sure as the Thunders have Chet Holmgren on their team but the Warriors now have the Point GOD making great plays for the Warriors imagine landing only 1 point for this game but landing 13 assists for this game that was really epic to behold and a great mention to this game, Andrew Wiggins making 17 points, Klay Thompson with 18 points, Jonathan Kuminga with 19 points, Dario Saric with 20 points, and Stephen Curry with 30 points,

5 games later.
Detroit Pistons versus the Phoenix Suns will start the day and I think the Suns should have no trouble winning this one.
Phoenix Suns (-3.5)
I think it's time for the Suns to be back on the winning side.

Next is the San Antonio Spurs versus the Toronto Raptors.
I am joining the Wemby hype for the first time and will bet for the risky San Antonio Spurs ML @2.37. They can defeat the Suns even with Booker playing, I wish they could do the same against the hard defense of the Raptors.

Then, Cleveland Cavaliers versus Golden State Warriors. After winning their last five games, I bet they are still energized to continue the streak. And if ever Steph and Klay want some restricted minutes to rest, their bench is not to be underestimated too especially combined with Chris Paul who can make every Warrior better with his playmaking.

Taking the money line for the Warriors @2.01.
Over 218.5 seems to be reachable too, I'll take it.
Good luck everyone.

The Suns have lost three games in a row, and they want to stop that streak against the Pistons. What are your thoughts on this? Is it still a good idea to bet on the Suns, even though they've been struggling? We can't be certain if Booker will play, so Durant might have to step up again.

It's interesting that the point spread changed. It started at -5.5 in favor of the Suns, and now it's down to -2. I'm not sure why it moved, but let's hope it doesn't mean Durant will be resting.

It's given that they should be the favorite because they have a home court advantage, but they have been struggling at the start of the season compared to the Warriors, who are in the top 2, right after the Nuggets. I believe the biggest reason for that is Klay Thompson being questionable for the game. But in case he plays, once it's announced, I think the spread will move to -3.5 in favor of the visiting team, the Warriors.

The only reason I know is that because of Klay Thompson's status, according to the report, he is questionable to play against the Cavaliers due to an injury (his thigh). But even without him, I think the Warriors could still win this game. The Warriors are full of talent, Curry is unstoppable, and Draymond has been playing well since he returned.

Warriors’ Klay Thompson questionable for Sunday’s game in Cleveland

---

But let's see, maybe he would choose to play because it's not confirmed yet that he will not play. But at least we shouldn't be surprised if he doesn't play because there was a report already. Also, Cleveland hasn't won their first home game, so it could be a reason why they are a slight favorite. You'll know they'll have to play harder to finally get that win.

That's odd but the gap is not that huge though as far as ML goes, and the handicap is +1.5/-1.5 so it means that it can go either way. And the reason why the Cavs are the the slight favorite it's because the game will be in their homecourt, so they have the advantage.

And there were reports that Klay is questionable in this game, so if he can give like 15 points a game this early, they could missed the offensive output. But there's a lot that can cover though, Kuminga and Wiggins is still there so this might be their best time to shine and cover if Klay will not play. Saric though is contributing big so this is going to be very difficult to gauge pre-betting.

Today I like the 5-1 Golden State Warriors over the 2-4 Cleveland Cavaliers. The Cavs are currently the favorites for some reason (maybe I’m missing something) but that to me seems like an opportunity to get good odds on the Warriors beating a much less talented team. Especially the way Stephen Curry is playing at the moment.

Yes, it was close game though, try to bet on the Nets at last the +7.5 but still, the Celtics make it a 10 point game.

Jayson Tatum is really hot this early as he scored 10,000 points throughout his young career. So not sure what team are going to defeat them.

Their next game will be against the Timberwolves, so it's hard to go against them as the team looks very solid indeed.

"We have to pick it up." Michael Porter Jr. said that during his best player of the game interview after Jamal Murray didn't come back from a leg hamstring tightness injury. Well, they did pick it up and MPJ helped a lot to get the Nuggets win in their home.
27 points, 5/10 in the three-point line. He got so hot after halftime when Coach Malone said to them they were not playing well enough.
Nikola Jokic 1 assist shy of another triple-double and they did not force it even if there were two minutes left in the last quarter.


I snatched the Over 215.5 at halftime because it was a low-scoring game. 53-54 was the score at that time if I remember it correctly.
I just knew that the Nuggets always end up with 120+ to claim a win and they are at home so it's a good booster for their offense. Even without Murray they still have shooters like Pope and MPJ, and Jokic also dominating the inside.

Congratulations to all the winners.

The results of my picks for the NBA games Yesterday

Chicago Bulls (1.58) VS Brooklyn Nets (2.44) - LOST

It was really a close game for these 2 teams the Brooklyn Nets had a great start in the 1st quarter but it was a change in the 2nd quarter as the Chicago Bulls had gotten that quarter, until the 3rd quarter when the tables turned again with the Brooklyn Nets now getting the 4th quarter this time it was my lost but it was really a great game to watch as it was a close one, Mikal Bridges, Cam Thomas, and Dorian Finney-Smith was really the one that is aggressive for the Brooklyn Nets and I really thought that the Bulls will win this but those 3 players have made it possible even though Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan, both got 24 points,



Portland Trail Blazers (2.04) VS Memphis Grizzlies (1.78) - WIN

For sure the Memphis Grizzlies are having a hard time they still don't have any wins yet even though Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson Jr. had a great game but because the Portland Trail Blazers had a good spread with this game it was a game over for the Memphis Grizzlies, as Deandre Ayton did a great thing with the Trail Blazers defense and he is gotten a double-double of 12 rebounds and 16 points as Malcolm Brogdon, Shaedon Sharpe, and Jerami Grant looks awesome in some way in leading this game with the needed score for the team,
