Hearing rumours about Conor fighting Oliveria, which would be an absolute disgrace that he's even given the chance, but I actually think Conor would beat Oliveria. Simply, because Olvieria tends to start slow, and eats a lot of shots. You can't do that against Conor, and unless Oliveria goes for the take down right away, he would likely get finished in the first. Oliveria has shown he likes to stand toe to toe with fighters before taking them down to the ground which would be my concern about him. Hopefully, it doesn't happen because it would be a disgrace.

I'm thinking of putting a bet on Gane to win against Ngannou, and whatever the outcome is then I'd be happy since I quite like having Ngannou as the champion, and I'm not fully convinced of Gane yet, but considering the odds are 1.90 a piece Gane is actually a pretty decent bet I think. I expected smaller odds for him.

I really doubt Charles Oliveira would give Conor McGregor his advantage, and I think he would surely know his disadvantage on fighters before their fight and will surely change his tactics in his Dustin Poirier fight he knew that Dustin is committing power in every shot, and with his counter shots, so he can execute that move to go behind Poirier, I think Oliveira is a thinking fighter that is why he is calling out McGregor he surely has a plan for him,

For me, I am fully convinced on Ciryl Gane, that he can outmaneuver Francis Ngannou in this fight, Even though Francis Ngannou can perfectly time his heavy punch on Ngannou and Ngannou has a destructive power to last just 1 punch on Gane and this is over, I would still go with the technical fighter, Ciryl Gane, you sure have a Heavyweight fighter but moves like a Light Heavyweight is sure surprising and that is why I would surely bet for Gane, and I have watched the Derrick Lewis fight again and there is no doubt he surely have punching power because I am doubting his strength to TKO an opponent and all of that change when he shut down Lewis.

Well, I confess I agree with almost all these picks. I believe that in each game we already have a "favorite to win" team, except the Washington Wizards VS Charlotte Hornets game, I believe that at the moment it is the most balanced, both teams are almost at the same level and are classified almost in the " same position".

I will eagerly follow these games!

Yup! Wahington Wizards VS Charlotte Hornets are the well-balanced team on these match-ups, I have just picked 5 match-ups that I think will win, and because my favorite team is in it but I don't have any favorites on these two teams I just kind of like how each team could win on the other team because of how well-balanced they are right now, but I have picked the Hornets in this match because of some good reasons and number 1 is because of the Covid health protocols.

 
I think I will opt for the Nets against the Grizzlies. A lot of the game will depend on how KD and Harden play on the particular day. If both of them hardly put a foot wrong, it will be a hard task for the Grizzlies to snatch the win. So I think on a regular day, Nets should be winning this one.

Right now and like I have said the Nets are one of my favorite teams and impressive as it looks James Harden is doing well back in the days where he is still at the Oklahoma Thunders and Kevin Durant never misses a shot in his past games, so I also think that Brooklyn Nets could win this,

And, I'd say that GSW will win against Miami Heat as Heat are missing some of their key players. Although Butler will play the game but he alone can only do so much.
On the other hand, GSW are very fresh and will be hungry for the win.

Yeah, some major key players on the Miami Heat can not possibly play and the Golden State Warriors is in their top form right now and having Draymond Green in the game the win is at hand.

Honestly, I would argue that the one game against Gladbach doesn't count. Did you watch the game? I did. Bayern looked like some 14 year olds not in the mood to play soccer. It was insane how bad Bayern was. I can't even remember when I saw them the last time to get slaughtered against an average team. Maybe never? One time they lost the final against Dortmund in the cup 5-2 I think, but that was Dortmund at its best.

The DFB Pokal game between Gladbach and Bayern Munich was really absurd. Gladbach demolished Bayern Munich by 5-0 very surprisingly. Bayern Munich even played with their usual starting eleven but still couldn't even score a goal. But it is really like you said. Sometimes, Bayern Munich players are really not in the mood. And as a result, this kind of interesting things can happen. But the good thing for them is that this kind of incidents don't happen too often.

This is another day for Bayern Munich while having their bad day, and I got to admit Gladbach is playing pretty strong, and pretty sure it was a shocking defeat for all Bayern fans, and myself aswell, as I am watching this game, well Ramy Bensebaini and Breel Embolo did a remarkable play that night while Gladbach landed 5 goals over a zero score and on January 8 Gladbach will surely face Bayern again and again it goes to show that Monchengladbach can have a competition with Bayern Munich, But for me in this upcoming match between Gladbach and Bayern I will surely bet for Bayern as to show support, and we we have to witness if Gladbach can surely pul a win over Bayern Munich, right now Gladbach is number 14 in the Standings.

This is the problem, now fighters try to exploit themselves where the money is because their paycheck in the industry is not that much to make them satisfy, although I like Onlyfans this is the big reality UFC is facing right now where a combat sport that is life-changing and life-threatening to most fighters is not cut for a lifetime hospital bill will surely get us to wonder why other sports can give their players a cut befitting to a lifetime change, that is because of greed I don't really like to continue because I love UFC especially watching it, and I owe it to my boy Dana White, but they need to realize something.

That's something that a Fighters Union could regulate so that the fighters themselves will not have to prostitute themselves. Sure, MMA is a relatively young sport and with that in mind, it just didn't have the time to get to the business level the other sports got to, even tho it had a fairly quick surge in popularity. MMA organizations, and UFC in particular, are playing catch up to their popularity, and I am guessing the old guard of MMA organization brass has to die out before things change.

Well, you might be right, and UFC is like a child to other sports and to more well-known combat like boxing it sure still strive to go beyond, but maybe a little anchovy to the pizza or whip cream to the cake could not hurt Dana White in his I am the owner of UFC thing I can do anything, sure enough, he has authority to every fighter UFC have but just doesn't treat them as playthings, or just dispensable things but I wish there will be a time that it will surely come.

And just in, with the upcoming fight of Francis Ngannou and Ciryl Gane Ngannou's contract is about to go final and his last appearance will be on UFC 270 if he doesn't sign the contract, and Ngannou has a blazing desire to pursue his boxing aspiration and he wants to face Deontay Wilder or Tyson Fury two of the best boxer in the heavyweight, well let's just wait if what kind of Boxer Francis Ngannoue could become, or if he's going to be on the UFC side,

I really want to discuss it here but that was a terrible game yesterday and here is the result of my picks, and congratulations to the Winners mostly if you risk your bets on the Detroit Piston, that was 1 incredible hull and the most profitable one,

Washington Wizards(1.76) VS Charlotte Hornets(2.11) - LOST


Philadelphia 76ers(1.10) VS Houston Rockets(7.80) - WIN


Brooklyn Nets(1.33) VS Memphis Grizzlies(3.45) - LOST


Milwaukee Bucks(1.06) VS Detroit Piston(10.00) - LOST


Golden State Warriors(1.23) VS Miami Heat(4.40) - WIN

The Hornets and Wizards are 1 incredible match up and the closest of all the matches, in my opinion with just 8 players they have beaten a team that only has 9, Well I'm rather OK with this result because any team can sure win, what I don't believe was the result of the Nets VS Grizzlies it seems that James Harden and Kevin Durant needs some rest from that 1st 2 games they won with and speaking of the unbelievable result was the Bucks VS Piston if you would look at their Odds Piston is the underdog here that shame the Milwaukee Bucks on their court and pretty much profitable if you have risk some amount on this game for the Piston.

The result on Yesterdays picks

Milwaukee Buck VS New Orleans Pelicans SCORE 136 - 113 - WIN


Brooklyn Nets VS Los Angeles Clippers SCORE 116 - 120 - LOST


Houston Rockets VS Denver Nuggets SCORE 111 - 124 - WIN


Utah Jazz VS Golden State Warriors SCORE 116 - 123 - WIN

What an amazing night yesterday I have 3 win pick and yeah team was my favorite but unfortunately Brooklyn Nets lost to the Clippers, I really think this would end with Brooklyn Nets winning this, they got the lead on all 3 quarters and in the 4th quarter until the pressure gets in the Nets that have let Clippers having the lead for themselves.

I was reading the arguments on fighter salaries and payments and I reckon that we should be happy that uncle Dana does not pay them much money or else we would not have this woman MMA fighter create her own Onlyfans account hehehee.

This is Kay Hansen. She will be champion in her weight division.

The fighters should promote themselves and make sure the audience will stay tuned to watch the fight, either to see them loose or to see them win. Paul brothers are playing the character or Mayweatger started to play the money character so that the fans would get excited to watch the fight. 

That given image of Mayweather tends to give an idea to the Paul brothers in doing events like this, and sure their boxing is amazing and they keep on proving this even though their opponent is not pure boxing they get to show their skills, and yeah this sometimes hype some curious audience. 

Tyron Woodley who could win the fight against Jake Paul and extend his boxing career instead he took money to get a hard shot in the face and fall face first in the canvas unconscious, what a joke. These conspiracy theories that does not make any sense Cheesy.

The conspiracy will always stay as a conspiracy until proven legit, let's just leave it to that.

There was a time when Floyd Mayweather was winning belts and no one really cared about watching his fights nor he was the main event. He found success after changing his moniker Pretty boy to money and started showing off his wealth leaving Bob Arum and creating his own promotion changed his fortunes.

This goes to show how good Mayweather is thinking ways how to increase his profit, and I think a good start is to think and be like Bob Arum but at the safe time promoting himself and the Moniker Money has attracted other boxers to fight him because the money is him,

I see you trust the government very much, it's amazing after these two years  Smiley In my opinion, if a player is vaccinated, recovered easily, or did not even get sick at all, but simply received a positive result during testing, he should not be quarantined "in full" (it seems to be 14 days). These are redundant measures.

Yup! I am a Filipino and you can say that I trust our government right now not like the previous ones, unlike me, you don't seem to trust your government at all if we don't know where to believe too then where do you think we should believe in, I think the government is doing so much for my country and I have no complaint even though some are speaking ill of him, there is no way a government could become perfect and with this Pandemic is a great challenge to really handle so just give every leader of the country credit that your country is still striving, I still trust in the process even though it is not that kind of a perfect one it is OK that it still has,

Redundant measures are needed because being sick is redundant as well, quarantine is just to determine if one person is truly infected by Covid-19 and yes 14 days are still implemented because just like before this is still the same virus, just a new variant.
3769  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: January 02, 2022, 07:34:14 PM

When you say, Naoya Inoue, he is one of the great boxers in their division like you said even the veteran Nonito Donaire struggled a lot when they fight out counter puncher Nonito did not finish him in early-round the stamina of Inoue is like a steal very strong even a hard punch by his opponents it looks like nothing gonna hit.
But if the time will come Casimero vs Inoue it's a big fight for our fellow Filipino and I think he has a chance to win that match as Casimero is like Inoue. Casimero is a very strong fighter and he can fight against those strong fighter as well.

Yes, Naoya is a genuine fighter Nonito Donaire did struggle because he tasted the liver blow of Naoya Inoue, this brings Donaire in being aware that the liver blow of the monster is not like any other punch, it will surely leave him in agony, but knowing Nonito Donaire he surely gives heart in every fight he does, and right now Doinare has won again and this time with a liver shot the same punch Naoya Inoue gave to Nonito, against Reymart Gaballo and I surely love to watch their fight again, and if Casimero would sure fight Inoue it will be a great and fun fight to watch because just like Nonito Donaire John Riel Casimero will not back out and will surely trade punches with Naoya Inoue.


Everyone is rushed seeing Casimero vs Inoue because they like the chance of Casimero against the Monster. I mean Casimero packs a mean power of both hands, and it might look awkward but he has proven that he can knock out everyone in this division, including Butler that he will be facing soon.

Well, were just excited about what kind of fight they can give us when the two did clash, but it could surely wait because John Riel Casimero needs to fight first Paul Butler and needs to win against him, to truly say that he is a worthy opponent for Naoya Inoue that is just 28 year old, to the 31 Casimero.

Who knows, maybe Inoue's team thinks that Casimero has been soften by the lost and might still be willing to face him although obviously Inoue will be the A-side and can demand more money for this fight.

He can sure demand a higher pay if he wants, but I think this fight needs to be settled Casimero and Inoue is scheduled to fight back on April 25, 2020, to a unification clash of the Bantamweight Championship but because of Covid-19 Casimero then just fought Duke Micah, in a title defense back on September 26, 2020.

If I understand correctly, then, given that this is a weak strain of the virus and given the fact that they are vaccinated, they will recover quickly, maybe in a couple of days. But will they have to comply with quarantine (I don't know what the rules are in Germany now, but quarantine will in any case lengthen their return to duty)?

I think it is only common to comply if a player is needed to take quarantine or not, and this is for safety protocol or safety measures for the players and fans aswell, and now that there is a new variant and the vaccine will be needing a booster shots before we can say that we are 99.99 immune to the virus, Quarantine, and safety protocol guideline will surely be implemented, we can not say for sure when this will end, but let's just comply to whatever guidelines the government and the authority are telling us just to be on the safe zone.


once again covid comes into action and harms some team, I think it is necessary that each player and members of the technical team start to comply with the rules of social distancing and use masks and take vaccines, this is the only way to protect themselves and not destroy the clubs, because this thing of having 8 or more players from the same club infected is destroying clubs

If needed to comply I think it is surely a common task to do and yes it is irritating that your favorite player is in health protocol and is unable to play, if there are safety measures implemented in the Bundesliga then each Club needs to comply normally, so they can prevent in getting infected and be taken into quarantine.
3771  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: January 01, 2022, 11:24:57 PM

Let's talk about the potential Inoue vs Casimero fight after this fight, if Casimero will be successful, there's no other fight that would fit him than Inoue, so as a fan, we should expect that the mega-fight we are waiting for will happen and as what the odds suggest, Casimero is an underdog so I like that much.

I definitely like to see a Casimero VS Inoue fight, and yes if he would be successful in Paul Butler fight there is no doubt Naoya Inoue is a great big fight for John Riel Casimero, and even though I am a Filipino and I like Casimero, I really like Naoya Inoue as a boxer as well, pretty much that fight with the Flash Nonito Donaire was pretty outstanding, both fighters have shown real heart but in this fight Inoue VS Casimero I see a lot of potentials for John Riel Casimero to win, both are a heavy puncher, has skills but the thing that Casimero need to look out on Inoue was his liver shots that devastates different boxer that encounters it, even Donaire has struggled from it,


No way Inoue's camp will stay away or avoid Casimero.

It's just reasonable for Inoue to ignore Casimero now because of some event that happened recently.

If Casimero wants Inoue to talk again, he should win against Butler first.

Many are saying those things about him, but these are all speculation, and no further evidence, and are all hearsay on different camps, and actually, I like both fighters their styles and their toughness inside the ring, but you are right 1 more fight for Casimero and if he's going to beat Paul Butler that I think he can sure take on, I really think that the Paul Butler VS John Riel Casimero fight will end up in a Knockout.

This is a common factor among people that they want the underdog in the fight to win. Maybe this is common human behavior.

But I, for myself, don't like Floyd's behavior at all. Having an aggressive attitude for fighters is okay, but there's a limit to it and he often crosses it. But whichever the reason why people watch him, at the end of the day he is the money-maker and there is no denying it. But, it would be a pleasure to watch him lose.

Well, a very common behavior, many would like to see the underdog strive right, but the good thing about this is for bettors they will cash in a remarkable amount of money when the underdog did win, but for Floyd Mayweather case, and Jake or Logan Paul their attitude image was the one people doesn't really like, and they are paying some money to see them fall, and sometimes they would consider hyping their fights by mocking their opponents,

Some issues say that Jake Paul has paid a huge amount of money to Woodley to just lose in that fight, but I don't really know if this is true or not, but many that known Tyron Woodley said that he can sure beat Jake Paul if he likes it, but that's not what happens, and they think that Woodley is not himself,

And I don't like Floyd Mayweather either, his behavior and attitude was the trigger for a better hype but yes it really goes below the belt sometimes, but the moniker money is sure true if any boxer or fighter wants a huge amount of money they will need to fight Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao, Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder, well-known boxer for an exhibition match it will surely get tons of PPV.

Quick Picks for today's game

Milwaukee Buck VS New Orleans Pelicans

Right now Stake odds are 1.12 for the Bucks and 6.80 for the Pelicans for me, not a profitable match to bet, and for now, there are 3 players for the Bucks that are unable to play Brook Lopez with a back injury, Semi Ojeleye Covid-19 and Khris Middleton with personal reasons, with the Pelicans Jonas Valanciunas is in Covid-19 health protocol, Josh Hart and Brandon Ingram questionable if they can play, for this two teams I really liked the Milwaukee Bucks, I will not bet but my pick was the Milwaukee Bucks.  

Brooklyn Nets VS Los Angeles Clippers

Stake odds 1.10 for the Nets and 7.40 for the Clippers another Bet that you would want to stay away from because it is not profitable, for the Nets even though Kyrie Irving and Joe Harris can not play Nets is at 100% top shape against the Clippers, and in the Clippers sides they are having trouble with their players right now Paul George Unable to play until January 15, Nicolas Batum and Ivica Zubac, for me I will not bet but my pick was Brooklyn Nets

Houston Rockets VS Denver Nuggets

Stake odds 3.40 For the Rockets and 1.34 for the Nuggets last time the Nuggets doesn't have the required number of players to play against the Golden State Warriors but this time I think now they have but the Rockets Kevin Porter, Jalen Green, Eric Gordon, and Alperen Sengun are questionable if they can play for me even though Nuggets got a limited number of players I would go with the Denver Nuggets, winning against the Rockets.

Utah Jazz VS Golden State Warriors

Stake Odds 1.53 for the Jazz and 2.60 for the Warriors, right now the Jazz are making a great record and this is the 1st time these 2 teams have played this season, so I guess this is going to be a good game, in question to play for the Jazz are Eric Paschall and Hassan Whiteside, while Warriors Draymond Green will be out until January 3 I think Damion Lee is in question if he can play because of Covid-19 but we will see and for this match up I am a Warriors fan so my pick will be for the Golden State Warriors.
3774  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your gambling mistakes and amendment on: January 01, 2022, 05:33:09 PM
Gambling mistakes are very usual for gamblers that is, I have made a mistake once and that is I let my emotions catch up to my bets pretty much feeling Frustrated towards your losses would surely make you want to get it back fast, and as the saying goes that when emotion is high, knowledge is low and because of my emotions I have caused a some of my savings to go waste,

But that is all in the past now, for I am not letting any emotions gets into me, right now I have to to stop playing casino type of games and I am now betting on sports because I can surely control my emotions towards it even if I have lost when feeling frustrated because of multiple lost in Sportsbet you can not get back that that money because games are just limited and if there are just events that are available that is why the feeling of frustration could not end up in another bet, well I think this is a good thing because it gets to control any betting drive to continue,

So Happy New Year to all.

No wonder there are fighters who chose to be cocky, do they get more pay thru it?

I think it is all for show and to get more attention for people to buy their tickets, well you can say it is a strategy for some to make a ruckus before the fight
so they can get more hype.

Floyd is extraordinary which the boxing fans really like to see him inside the ring due to his unique style. No boxer yet has found a way to see his weakness even today but do you think he can ask for higher pay once his record shows 1 loss?

That is the thing, in my opinion, there are many who want to see his loss rather than people watching him because of his unique style, his style is just to evade, and the most audience wants to see him lost in a fight and another thing is his cocky behavior that most people don't like, there are some that are paying to see him get beaten inside the ring, that is why he is the money maker

Just like Logan, more people will want to see him fight and he could get a lot of money for each fight. Boxing and MMA are benefitting from what he is doing I think he still will get good money as long as he is youtube sensation.

Yep! another thing is Logan or Jake Paul's cockiness and arrogance, so people would love to pay to see them get beaten up real bad, and not because of their skill and strength, people just want to see them get messed up and this is entertainment.

Floyd Mayweather earned more than $560 million
vs
Conor McGregor earned around  $15 million

OMG, somehow I've missed that fighters could be earning such numbers. I knew that some of them were making tens of millions in one fight, but what I read in the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Conor McGregor wiki article really shocked me. They say Mayweather reportedly earned $280 million from the fight. This is more than highest-paid movie stars earning in a whole year! I've been always thinking that movie stars were the ones who earns the most.

Well, it's never too late to learn something new, even just a few hours before the New Year. Smiley

Have a great New Year's Eve celebration, guys, and be happy in 2022!

The "MONEY" Mayweather sure could earn that high in just 1 fight the word Money is accompanied in his name that is why many boxers sure want to really fight him, and even they attain a lost to Mayweather they would surely gain enough money to sustain themselves and their family,

But we can not compare the average profit in UFC and with boxing, if we compare both events boxing events tend to have just 3 to 1 fights only while in the UFC, 1 event could have a potential of more than 10 fights per event, so the event money gains will be divided by each fighter, but the sad truth is Dana White is the one getting a huge sum in every event per Pay Per View, anyway, we can not compare every profit in the UFC with an exhibition match in a Jake Paul match because all the sum of money they would get will be divided in each fighter, plus the show money a fighter can get, well even though a fighter loss they still get a large sum of money right.

Happy New Year To all

Orlando Magic VS Milwaukee Bucks SCORE 118 - 136 - WIN

Brooklyn Nets VS Philadelphia 76ers SCORE 102 - 110 - LOST

Washington Wizards VS Cleveland Cavaliers SCORE 110 - 93 - WIN

Denver Nuggets VS Golden State Warriors POSTPONED

Well due to the postponement of the Denver Nuggets VS Golden State Warriors I was kind of sad but still OK with it, well due to Covid-19 the Denver Nuggets don't have the league-required eight players needed to play the game, even their Coach, Michael Malone, Players Jeff Green, Zeke Nnaji, Nah'Shon Hyland have entered the NBA Covid Protocol and a bunch of players that have an injury, it was sad to not see the Golden State Warriors play a game before the New Year's Eve, but yeah a two-win pick is not bad but I haven't bet on my first pick because it is not going to be profitable, in the Nets VS 76ers game even with the combine powers of Kevin Durant and James Harden with Harden having a triple-doubles was outperformed by Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, and Seth Curry, still Happy New Year to all.
3778  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why should Gambling be legalized ? on: December 30, 2021, 11:17:53 PM
Well, there are many different opinions towards gambling and its impact on our economy, it can be positive for some and it can also have some negative effects aswell, the good thing about legalizing gambling in a country or state, is because some people will surely not going to stop in playing gambling so instead of letting them play on illegal gambling that the country's economy will not be going to benefit it is OK to let them play in a legalized game that is regulated by the government,

Pros for legalizing gambling

1) People will not be afraid of getting scam or they will feel safe.
2) job opportunities for certain people
3) Tourism industry will surely strive to that community just like in Las Vegas.

Cons for legalizing gambling

1) Gambling addiction is surely common
2) Advertisement about gambling can be watched by children
3) many people may now put large chunks of their money into gambling

All these talks about UFC salaries started after YouTubers started to beat UFC fighters and boast with high payment and easy money. Jake Paul vs Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley - Jake trolled Dana White with huge cheques and numbers of PPV sold. Jake Paul was planned to fight Tommy Fury, but after Tommy got injured, he has fought Woodley for the second. Long story short, only 65k PPV were sold Cheesy I think that every UFC event gets +100k PPV sold. Found that UFC 268 sold 700k PPV. I think UFC 269 (Poirier vs Oliveira) sold even more, and Ngannou vs Gane is definitely gonna set a record.

Well, they surely get different income in every PPV, maybe depending on the situation as well, and maybe because of the holiday season people just tend to put money on their mouths than to see a boxing match between a retired UFC fighter and a Youtuber, well just like I have said that 65k will surely be divided into both fighters depending on the outcome, while that 700k PPV a huge sum of that will go to Dana White, I don't really say that Dana White is doing wrong and that is his money he can do whatever he wants with it, and we can not compare UFC fights with a Basketball match, and a boxing match because we will definitely would get Different PPV well I am just saying that White should be considerate with his fighters and might as well give them a large cut on the profit because fighters are prone to injuries, and I am not talking about injuries that can be dealt with healing in time, but injuries that are lifetime, and fighters like this should get some support from the UFC management that are unable to work because of the UFC, But yeah Dana White is not generous enough to do such things,

Well Ngannou VS Gane could surely hit a new record again, a much-awaited match was between these two Heavyweights, so that is for sure.

All eyes on Denver Nuggets vs Golden State Warriors huh? What about the Nets vs 76ers? Honestly, I am also doubting what will happen there that's why it's hard to decide.

Anyway, yes it's true that the Nuggets won against the GSW last time but there is a time when a long run happened that's why it ended as a close game. Nuggets tend to get careless whenever Jokic sits.
I doubted them before because Draymond Green won't play due to health and safety protocols but this time there's a chance Jordan Poole will play. Cannot find any updates yet but it was said he exited the protocol. That's a big difference if ever he comes back.
GSW -4.5


I am sure that Jordan Poole will play against the Nuggets this time, the Golden State Warriors will surely need a lot of help from Main and reserve players and I think Jordan Poole can play both offensive and defensive, and because of safety health protocols Draymond Green will be available by January 3 and Damion Lee lee will be available on January 1, and the Denver Nuggets now have lessened players yet again since their last match so this will be a difficult time for the Denver Nuggets in my opinion Unable to play until January 5 against the Warriors because of safety protocol is Jeff Green, Nah'Shon Hyland, and Zeke Nnaji, While Austin Rivers, Aaron Gordon, Vlatko Cancar and Monte Morris is questionable to play,


If you are a fan of Denver, taking ML is the best option, but if you are a gambler and playing for money, handicap is also interesting.

It's up to the gambler though if what they see about this game, Nuggets able to beat the Warriors last time, they might repeat that again

or the Warriors will bounce and beat them..

Pick according to how you assess. It's always best to enjoy when picking games.. Good luck!  Wink

Right now I am doubting that the Nuggets can beat the Warriors this time the Denver Nuggets is just pretty lucky from their last match, in my opinion, and even without Draymond Green, Jordan Poole has returned from the Safety Protocol and could play against the Nuggets, and if you look for Denver Nuggets injury report they are in a crucial state in my opinion, so I really doubt the win will repeat again from that last game it is pretty much a close match and    Nikola Jokic will need to rest and sit for a while, to regain his stamina this could be an opening for the Warriors.
