2025 NBA Season

[Golftech]

I am watching this as well. It is a close game and will probably go down the line. I am betting for Nuggets to win this one.

Good luck mate, 101 all is the score now and this game is a high scoring game so it's fun watching this.

I am not tuning in to live games yet but I will now, I hope this will end into OT so I will see an extra 5 minutes for this game.

The game didn't went into OT, Denver steal a game on the road because the Mavericks wasted their last possession with a turnover.

Bad game for them, Jokic come out to be the hero in the game while Luka were not able to pull his magic in crucial times.

I think the Nuggets has done their job on minimizing the output of Doncic in this game. Of course they should put a body on him since his the focal point for the Mavericks. Though the Mavs almost win it, the Nuggets showed how to play defense on the very end of the game which results in turnover for the Mavs.

Very close and I guess the Joker able to survive as Kriztop is not there to help Luka. it's great defensive stop from the Nuggets side
though it's really happened even to the great teams and when bad days hit you up there's no way to win against your own mistakes
great outcome with the very close matched.

Very close and I guess the Joker able to survive as Kriztop is not there to help Luka.

That's correct, Joker took advantage on the absence of Porziņģis and it's obvious that the play is mostly made by him as he scored a lot of points in that win. KP's latest update dated Jan 7, 2020, 1:43 PM ET per https://www.rotoworld.com/basketball/nba/player/30160/kristaps-porzingis

Coach Rick Carlisle said that Kristaps Porzingis (sore right knee) "continues to do better" but that KP will not be available to play in Wednesday's game vs. the Nuggets.
Carlisle added that Porzingis arrived at the facility for practice on Tuesday but was sick. KP had previously expressed optimism for a Wednesday return, but we'll have to wait for at least one more game. The Mavs' next game is Friday vs. the Lakers. Maxi Kleber and Dwight Powell will continue to divvy up minutes in Porzingis' absence.

I think the design was really for Luka to play but because of the tight defense, he wasn't able to execute it so he pass the ball.

Cleveland +7 vs Detroit -7 +255 money for the Cavs.
Game will be later on. Any heads up for this game guys? Injuries or something?
I don't watch much Cavaliers game.

Both teams have a lot of injured players..

For cleveland we have D. Exum, K. Porter Jr., L. Nance Jr., D. Windler
For Pistons we have, M. Morris,B. Griffin, L. Kennard, R. Jackson, , K. Thomas

Most of the starters of the Pistons are injured, so Cavaliers has a decent chance here.

There last game is won by the Pistons on the road in the score of 115 - 113.

Still piston is a bit above in terms of morale coming in to this match up. I think it would be a win for the Pistons though not a blowout but still they would come out the Victor against a much weaker team on the Cavs.

They beat the Cavaliers on the road so they can do better at home for sure, and don't forget, Pistons have a healthy Derrick Rose now.

I would go with Cleveland on this. Cavs on their last game fought hard closing the scores at the end, it is a tight game and with a lot of players injured on Pistons, I will defenitely go with Cavs. Derrick Rose is a threat to my bet but, still going with Cavaliers.

Thanks man, don't want to go with the full details (my lazy habit) but you really made an effort here.
Merit for that.

I think I will really go for Cleveland here. That is my first choice though when I saw the money line.
So Kevin Love is still playing. There might be a really good chance.

If that will be the situation for Pistons, I wouldn't bet for them. Many are fans of Derrick Rose here and Griffin as well but if they are in dire situation and many of their roster are injured, it's a handicap for them. There's one rookie that caught my eyes because it's the media that is hyping him. Any thoughts about Sekou?

I'll go for Cleveland with this one as well. There is still a chance that Piston will win this Moneyline but they may not be able to cover the spreads.

Tight defense and poor execution. They literally have thrown the ball away on the last play.

I can sort of understand people wishing Lakers ill because Lakers have so many rings and even in the last 20 years they won 5 rings which is only followed by spurs and nobody else won that many rings, hell even warriors had a huge trouble while them being basically the best team in the NBA for 5-6 years straight as well. However the real thing is, AD is staying in Lakers, dude declined 140 million dollars because he wants the 200 million dollar new contract which also allows him to have 5 years of veteran max as well.

I understand it is not about money for everyone in the NBA and we have seen that multiple times like how Kevin Durant got a pay cut to be in warriors etc but this would have been idiotic for AD to sign. This way he will make both a lot more money per year plus he will make more money on his veteran career as well when the new one ends, so it makes sense.

 Looking at sportsbet.io, there are moneyline options for all teams involved. Detroit has 1.30 odds to beat cavs, which looks quite possible and doable even without Blake Griffin honestly because Cavs have been dsyfuncitonal for a long time now, however 1.3 doesn't really worth it if you ask me, if it was over 1.7 I would have definitely wagered but 1.3 doesn't give you enough chance to win much on such a risk.

 There is celtics versus sixers, sixers have been not quite good recently and celtics just lost to spurs as well, it will be a very risky game for both sides, both sides wants to get back on the horse and start winning again but I feel like neither team will be on their %100 this game at all. Celtics are at 2.11 on moneyline, I suppose that looks like a good bet, not saying they will win for sure but at least its good odds for them to beat. It will be back to back tho, so I can understand anyone betting on sixers as well.

 Portland will definitely beat Wolves or at least they have to, it shouldn't even be close, this is basketball and even the 73-9 legendary team of warriors inevidently lost 9 games, so anyone can lose at any night and this is much much closer than warriors versus anyone back in their peak. However blazers are clearly the much better team and should win this game easily.

 Rockets versus OKC is a game I have no idea about, I mean it looks great on paper and we all would pick Rockets if were asked on the spot, however OKC has been playing a great game lately and I am not entirely sure if they are willing to stop now, it will be better matchup than sportsbooks allow it to look like, I doubt there will be a blowout like the odds suggests but %90 sure rockets will win anyway.

The Utah Jazz offense has been the NBA’s best through the last 13 games. Here’s why

Offensively the Jazz are at a high point for the 2019-20 season. They have shot a league-best 39% from 3-point range and have the best true shooting percentage in the league at 60.8 since Dec. 11

With these long set of doubts about Moneyline, then just easily skip those bets. Trust your analysis.

Thee are handicaps, points spread or any other available bets on that match that you might to consider instead.

If still confused, then have a break and wait for another set of matches.

Wolves have a beat record but they are a young team that can score in bunches at any given moment.  Portland looks like a tired team right now they dont look good either.  Dame is def good but this team shouldnt definately win against anyone, even the knicks lol kidding.  I think this one will actually a tight high scoring game.  Neither team really plays any defense honestly if you watch them.  It's a who shoots better on this night that will win it

According to the article your shared :

Georges Niang, who is shooting a team-best 53.2% from beyond the arc since Dec. 11, said the addition of Jordan Clarkson to the team really gave the Jazz a boost that was not exactly expected but more than welcome

Even before reading this, I already noticed that they get better when Clarkson was added to the line up, he earned good minutes and they trusted them so his talent was more useful with the Jazz, some think that Clarkson would not fit but look at the Jazz now.

Freaking monster Drummond is having a good night.
24 points and 17 rebounds already in the 3rd. With the help of D.Rose everything is going well for the Pistons.

There is still a fourth and this two might be exhausted by now filling in for Griffin and other players.
I still hope I can win this bet with the Cavaliers even for the spreads only.  

81-71 as of now Pistons lead.

Congrats on win... That was a close one yet there would be a 2nd OT if Rose do able to go in that 3 point shot.. Well played by love though on last minutes of the overtime. Tristan Thompson made 35 points.

Moneyline does give him a better profit, that was Pistons int he beginning but Cavaliers did not give up and they were able to in after the OT.
I feel like I wan tot start on heavy underdog again because things like this could happen.

of the 4 games today, only cavaliers which is a road team who won.

[spadormie]

What a game for the underdogs tonight.

113 OKC - 92 HOU. If you watched the game you must've watched Chris Paul giving away so much sauce on one play. Threw the ball behind the legs of the defender and then swiss it right off the basket. James Harden 5/17 FG, a tough night for him. But WB had a great night scoring 34 points in the game. The next game of OKC would be the LA Lakers and I wonder if we can see another Rondo - Paul action just like last year.

115 CLE - 112 DET. What a performance here by Tristan Thompson posting a career high 35 points with 14 assist.

109 PHI - 98 BOS. I put Phili in underdogs because of not having Joel Embiid. Just a quick update on his injury, he has a torn ligament on his left hand. I thought that this was a minor injury because of the technology we have today yet it is a little bit dangerous. And still Phili came up with the W without Embiid. That's where Richardson came in the scene as he scored big 29 points with 7 rebounds.

116 MIN - 102 POR. Our man of the game is Wiggins having 23 points 3 rebounds and 8 assists. What do you think guys? Is this would be the season in which Wiggins could revive his career? He was named as a lazy player due to people saying that he lacks practice.

[Vaculin]

What a game for the underdogs tonight.

113 OKC - 92 HOU.

Would would have thought that OKC will win at that number, it looks like they dominated the Rockets easily and they really are still going to the right direction now. Rockets only scored 92 points, that's uncharacteristic of the team because they are a high scoring team. J. Harden tank tonight, scored only 17 points and it's not his usual scoring record, they allow WB to score but he is very poor in 3 point shooting.

115 CLE - 112 DET. What a performance here by Tristan Thompson posting a career high 35 points with 14 assist.

OMG! My money was on Detroit yet they lost. Anyways, a loss is a loss but how come the lower seed Cavs beat Detroit. It would have been a Detroit win if they played a bit of a defense in the last minute of the game.
