Memphis Grizzlies vs Golden State Warriors
The Golden State Warriors (34-32) will visit the Memphis Grizzlies (38-26) tonight at FedExForum. The Grizzlies are wonderful at home with a record of 26-5 while the Warriors are terrible at the road with 7-25 away record. But without Ja Morant and Steven Adams, I do not think they can defend their home this time.
Warriors key injuries: Gary Payton II (hip) out, Andrew Wiggins (personal) out
Grizzlies key injuries: Steven Adams (knee) out, Brandon Clarke (Achilles) out, Ja Morant (personal) out


Sacramento Kings vs New York Knicks
The New York Knicks (39-28) will visit the Sacramento Kings (38-26) tonight at Golden 1 Center. Brunson is still questionable to play so I will take the Kings to win this game. This might be different if Brunson will be able to play since the Knicks are great on the road.
Knicks key injuries: Jalen Brunson (foot) questionable

Nuggets scored only 96 points. The lowest that they have this season on their home. The game was close until the 2nd half, and particularly in the 3rd quarter, and after that, the Bulls never looked back and snapped the 9 game home win streak. On the other hand, the Nuggets are still on the top of the standings by a huge margin. Bulls got the victory on the road and as for Lavine, he got his 11,000th point on this game. Congratulations to him.

That is what confuses me, they are on the top, Coach Malone could've just restricted the minutes of both his stars and let the bench play the home game. It's not like the fans will be expecting too much from them to win the game because they are at the top of the West and most likely end up the number 1 seed in the playoffs.
Rest them well before it becomes another injury.

Maybe the fatigue got them that's why they lost.
They have lots of isolation on the 3rd quarter as well, and that isn't the Nuggets was. We know Jokic as a passer and this team is heavily driven by ball movements. Maybe that affected them as well aside from the fatigue factor, but it is what it is. Have some rest for them as well before their next game.
Anyway, I only bet on 2 teams before the games for some reasons, but I might put bets during the games. Here are mine.
Sacramento Kings - New York Knicks - New York Knicks @ 2.15
- I know it's frustrating to see the winning streak of the Knicks ended by just some low seeded team, that's why they might be more hungry to win on this one, but they will face a tough opponent in Kings and on their home as well. Still, I went for the Knicks on this one.

Memphis Grizzlies - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors @ 1.72
- I'll definitely watch this one. The Warriors might have the 3rd worse road record of a defending champion in NBA history, but we know the beef between these 2 teams. Warriors want to show to Dillon "Dynasty" Brooks what really a dynasty is. The Grizzlies don't have Adams as well because of his injury, and Clarke obviously will not return. I put my bet on the Warriors on this one.

Good luck.

∆ J. Holiday 5+ assists / M. Bridges 18+ points / Bucks ML @1.66 ∆   X

Nets waving the white flag before the game has even started. I kind of understand them though, resting four important players when you have three games in three days...i thought the NBA got rid of that shit years ago, especially at the back end of the season that's ridiculously tight schedule, asking for players to get injured.

Anyway, i've got Bridges again who is basically the only one not getting a rest from Brooklyn. He is likely to see north of 20fgs with all those players missing and at least 30mins of action regardless of what the score is. He scored 31 vs. Bucks just over a week ago with everyone playing, i don't see why he can't match that today. I hope Holiday can get at least 5 assists, he is averaging 7+ on the year and covered the line in 7/L7.

The grizzlies are getting off to a pretty good start against the Warriors. I don’t think they’ll be able to maintain the lead the entire game because they’ve been shooting a crazy high percentage, so I think for the live bettors out there this might be an opportunity to get some pretty good odds on the Warriors ending up winning the game.

The Warriors have come back within sight before I could get the chances, I really don't understand how the warriors lost the 1st quarter by 20 points, they cut it to 4 at some point in the second, but it's back to a 9 points lead for the Memphis Grizzlies, I think Steve Kerr is really messing with his team roster a lot and trying out different things from Looney having limited time on the court to playing Draymond often has the only big guy on the court, while the other 4 players on the court can be terrific scorers, should they be able to get it right defensively with this lineup, it's going to be a very decent team to beat.


EDIT: Warriors from being down 4, have went back to being down to a 18 point deficit at halftime, but then is it what risking the ML on Warriors @ 4.57

[YuginKadoya]

Here are the results of my picks today

Orlando Magic VS Utah Jazz SCORE 124 - 131 - LOST

It pretty the Utah Jazz really has a good start, with the 1st half then the Magic manage to get the points tied in the 3rd quarter, surely even though they don't have Jordan Clarkson on their team the Jazz had a great spread, well I shouldn't have trusted the Orlando Magic with winning against the Utah Jazz, but yeah it was a loss for me,

Detroit Pistons VS Charlotte Hornets SCORE 103 - 113 - WIN

Just like I thought the Detroit Pistons aren't really on a play-offs level kind of a team, you can see that the Charlotte Hornets did a great job from start to finish the Pistons have struggled a lot in managing in just getting over the Hornets, and yes it was a win for me this time,

Memphis Grizzlies VS Golden State Warriors SCORE 131 - 110 - LOST

I never realise something like this could really happen and I almost forgot that the Memphis Grizzlies is a very different team without Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, and Jaren Jackson Jr. got 21 points, and Tyus Jones has a double-double of 11 assists and 22 points, but surely the Warriors needs something to win this, and I would still go with the Warriors because yeah I don't really like the Grizzlies,

Sacramento Kings VS New York Knicks SCORE 122 - 117 - WIN

Another good game to watch and the Sacramento Kings are surely a dominant team here from start to finish they managed to not let the New York Knicks make a lead in this game, and Malik Monk got 19 points De'Aaron Fox got 23 points and Domantas Sabonis has a triple-double of 13 rebounds, 10 assists, and 24 points,

The struggle continues for the Warriors. It should have been their best chance to win since Morant was out, but it turns out the game was completely one-sided, with Memphis dominating them. Well, I guess the best strategy now is to never stop supporting the Warriors until they break their losing streak. Their best chance to win is at home, regardless of the betting spread.

In their next game, they'll be back at home with enough rest, but take a look at the team they'll be playing against: the Bucks, which is currently the hottest team. So, I guess it's going to be a huge challenge for them. However, I like the situation they are in since they are playing at home and against a good team. It's definitely a moneyline situation.

[danherbias07]

The road losses of the Warriors are getting frustrating as it grows into a pile of numbers. 
That's not the defense that I would like to see if you are aiming for a win, literally bad. No question. I watched it over and over and one of them is Klay Thompson who looks like he forgot to eat his breakfast.

1/3
Warriors loss.
Bucks won but did not cover.
And my savior, Sacramento Kings. I put big money for them as I am in no doubt they can win the game. Knicks may have given them a hard time but they still managed. A big triple-double game for Domantas Sabonis and Fox found his rhythm in the 2nd half of the game.

As a Warrior fan, it's very frustrating to see them losing in the road.

The once team who is very dominant in terms of defense are now one of the worst right now at least in the road. I wonder how they are performing very well in their home, but very awful on the road. I guess the absence of Wiggins and Kuminga affects the team. Both of them are good wing defenders especially Wiggins and with both of them out, it might be hard for Green to do it all.

Anyway, I lost both of my bets today against the Warriors and against the Knicks. It seems like the double-overtime win of the Knicks over the Celtics got them. There is a possibility that the fatigue is getting them thus, they are playing worse than how they are playing.

They will be able to figure out how to win again; after all, they are the defending champions, right? They have lost some games and won some games, and although they may be in a losing streak now, it won't last long as their pride is so strong. Expect a win soon; who knows, it might even be in the next game.

Also, remember that the Kings are a great team, and they are playing at home, so their confidence is very high. I understand that the NYK is also a good team, but we have a home team that is well-rested, so they have a good chance to win.

No nationally televised games tonight, but there are a couple of lopsided match ups that might be worth betting on for a small win. The 76ers should be able to beat the trailblazers, and the nuggets should be able to beat the spurs no problem. Neither of those bets should pay much but they’re pretty safe bets. Might be good to combine some parlays.

I will get 1.42 for a parlay bet. Well, I guess it's safe, but sometimes the Trail Blazers could also pull off a surprise. They are not a bad team like the Spurs this season. All I am worried about is, what if Lillard has a lights-out game and breaks his 71 points this season?

The home court advantage is mostly the strength of the Warriors,

Maybe it's tough to judge if how they will perform against the Bucks, knowing that the team is really something that
tough to handle.

Especially if all the players are doing great with the core starting 5 that's very competitive. Warriors needed to find that
rhythm to start winning games.

Legitimate concerns for sure. Portland is definitely more likely to win a game then the Spurs and the Trailblazers are in the playoff hunt so they’re motivated. Dame has also been playing amazingly the last couple months. The 76ers have been playing well too though and are a much more stacked team. Even if Dame does have a great game, it’s Philly’s play that will determine the winner.

This is Philly's first home game after a successful road trip with 4 wins in 5 games. I don't know, but I have a feeling that the Trail Blazers might pull off a surprise. If the road team doesn't improve their defense, then we will likely see the same outcome as their game against the Boston Celtics.

Even if Dame does have a great game, it’s Philly’s play that will determine the winner.

I'm looking at the team's defense, as they are a great defensive team.

Anyway, here's some good news for the Trail Blazers, though.

https://www.blazersedge.com/2023/3/9/23632998/portland-trail-blazers-injury-report-philadelphia-76ers-anfernee-simons-jusuf-nurkic-latest-news

Portland Trail Blazers starting shooting guard Anfernee Simons has been upgraded to questionable for tomorrow’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

In even more positive news, Jusuf Nurkic, who returned for his first game against the Boston Celtics last night, is off the injury report for the game.

Thanks for the tip, I might do a parlay on that.
Nuggets lost badly against the Chicago Bulls in their last game. I bet they want their revenge here in San Antonio and will do it in a blowout.

The once team who is very dominant in terms of defense are now one of the worst right now at least in the road. I wonder how they are performing very well in their home, but very awful on the road. I guess the absence of Wiggins and Kuminga affects the team. Both of them are good wing defenders especially Wiggins and with both of them out, it might be hard for Green to do it all.

I don't see that energy on the defensive end yesterday. Yeah, maybe they need Wiggins back but there's no time span given on how long his "family matters" will take. All we can do is hope it can be soon. The Warriors are in a bad rank right now. Tied with Mavs and Twolves at the 6th spot. There's a chance they will be in the play-in tournament again if they cannot win their next games.

6 games.
Washington Wizards - Atlanta Hawks - Atlanta Hawks (-2.5) I bet both teams will play really hard. Hawks trying to climb more at the 6th spot while the Wizards securing their position while being tailed by the Bulls.
Minnesota Timberwolves - Brooklyn Nets - Minnesota Timberwolves (-3.5)

[wheelz1200]

Another night another night on the wrong side of the book.  Here are my bets tonight need to turn this bus around!

Gonna take the heat at home -2

Raptors at the Lakers-2.5 gimme the Raptors

San Antonio +13 at home against Denver.

Philly -9.5 at home

And last gimme the Timberwolves-4.5 at home against the Nets.

Good luck tonight everyone!

Miami Heat vs Cleveland Cavaliers is going to be televised on ESPN here, and that would have been my game of interest except for the fact that Miami Heat players doesn't really interest me these days.

Darius Garland would be unavailable for the match as far as I can tell, but then I would still fancy my chances with Cavaliers ML @ 2.1 Odds

Timberwolves should be an easy win vs the very shorthanded Brooklyn Nets right ? That should be an easy call for me as well, unless there are certain development within the next 3-4 hours.

[YuginKadoya]

Here are my picks for today's game all of these 4 bets are against the odds or all underdog when it comes to odds, so take it with a grain of salt,

Washington Wizards VS Atlanta Hawks

The stake odds for this game are 2.00 for the Wizards 1.85 for the Hawks, right now both teams, don't have anyone listed with injuries or players that can not play for now, last game the Atlanta Hawks won the game despite Kristaps Porzingis getting a career-high of 43 points the Hawks just shows great numbers with their spread right now it is a close game so I am taking the risk and will bet for the Washington Wizards,

Miami Heat VS Cleveland Cavaliers

The stake odds for this game are 1.78 for the Heat and 2.09 for the Cavaliers, right now Duncan Robinson, and Kyle Lowry can not play for the Heat, and Kevin Love is doubtful if he can play for the Heat this time, while Darius Garland is the one that is doubtful if he can play for the Cavaliers, and for this game just like the 1st game I think I will bet against the odds, so making my Cleveland Cavaliers pick, and this is another close game that may happen,

Minnesota Timberwolves VS Brooklyn Nets

The stake odds for this game are 1.56 for the Timberwolves and 2.49 for the Nets, right now Jaylen Nowell and Karl-Anthony Towns can not play for the Timberwolves, and Austin Rivers is doubtful he can play for the Timberwolves while Ben Simmons can not play for the Nets, looks like I want to ride another against the odds game, despite seeing a Nets without Ben Simmons they still have a chance against the Timberwolves that are now an inconsistent team, and this is their 1st game facing each other without Irving and Durant, so I am going with the Brooklyn Nets,

Los Angeles Lakers VS Toronto Raptors

The stake odds for this game are 2.19 for the Lakers and 1.72 for the Raptors, right now Mo Bamba, and LeBron James can not play because of injuries D'Angelo Russell and Anthony Davis are both doubtful if they can play for the Lakers, while Will Barton is doubtful because of illness if he's going to play for this game, right now Fred VanVleet is struggling to get his scoring or shooting touch, this could still happen with this game and I really don't want to go with the Lakers this time because Lebron James can not play and D'Angelo Russell is doubtful but I think D'Angelo Russell will play a crucial role with this game and may play a couple of minutes, so risking my bet against with the Los Angeles Lakers,
