I'll also back the Pacers here now that the Celtics won't have one of their key player in the starting lineup and even though the Celtics can still thrive without Tatum, i'll still trust the Pacers to have a better shooting day compared to their previous meeting. Hopefully, none of the Celtics players would suddenly put up a career-high performance only because Tatum is out.  

And that's what I'm talking about, although Haliburton got injured, still the Pacers with a huge comeback. But it's not without controversy, tied 131-131 all, KP fouled Matherin sank 2 FT and intentionally missed the 3rd one.

Boston had one timeout with .3 seconds and almost tap the shot in.

So congrats to those who back up the Pacers here to win this very close game.

It was just yet another very very crazy game and interesting fixture to see, as this matchup has been this entire season so far, none of it has been boring or not worth the hours spent to watch them hoop.

That was quite a win for the Pacer honestly, something they couldn't just a few days ago, they fell to a horrible disadvantage at halftime, and that was enough to bring some strange source of motivation or whatever it is we should call were they found the courage to turn the game around entirely.

Both teams missed their best players, although Haliburton played few minutes but it has become even. Either team could win that game, Celtics has more advantage but the young pacers are really to avenge their previous loss. I say, this team ( Pacers) will be a problem with the Bucks and the Celtics in the playoffs, whoever meet them first, I have a feeling will get eliminated.

Milwaukee Bucks vs utah jazz high risk if pick choose utah jazz win.
3 star Milwaukee Bucks are still showing a very brilliant performance.
both Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton and point guard Damian Lillard who was brought in from the Portland Trail Blazers.

It is really a high risk but if Utah Jazz wins this game it will be a high return for me, and as I have seen the Utah Jazz right now and their new addition to the team, they are looking good right now Kris Dunn has shown potential in making great plays for the team just like what he did with the game against the Toronto Raptors I guess he likely seeing the potential and style of play of his teammates now, not even that but Lauri Markkanen and Jordan Clarkson has shown what they can truly do and in this game Collin Sexton and Keyonte George also performed well in this game, if this keeps up Utah Jazz is another team that likely become monster,


Here are the results for my bet and predictions for games today,

Indiana Pacers VS Boston Celtics SCORE 133 - 131 - WIN

It really was a close game for these two teams even though Tyrese Haliburton slipped and got injured in this game he was carried out on the floor, and for sure it was a serious injury for him but even though Haliburton was out the whole team did a pretty good job they were really a great team that only Haliburton was on the center making plays but Aaron Nesmith got 17 points, Myles Turner got 16 points, and Bennedict Mathurin was the lead and got 26 points, even though Jaylen Brown got 40 points for this game it was not enough to the fighting spirit of the Pacers,

Milwaukee Bucks VS Utah Jazz SCORE 116 - 132 - WIN

It was a great lead for the Utah Jazz at the start of the game I was really shocked by their performance for sure many were, that 18 lead in the 1st quarter was really something, a big feat for the Utah Jazz against the Milwaukee Bucks, Keyonte George, Collin Sexton, and John Collins all got 19 points for the Jazz, Jordan Clarkson got 21 points, while Lauri Markkanen has a double-double of 14 rebounds and 21 points,

Los Angeles Clippers VS Phoenix Suns SCORE 138 - 111 - LOST

I was wrong to bet on the Phoenix Suns but I got a hunch that the Los Angeles Clippers would win this I didn't follow my hunch and thought that the Suns could win this, as all bets are underdogs, it was a close game for sure in the 1st half but in the 2nd half of the game the Lead of the Los Angeles Clippers has already shown greatly Kawhi Leonard got 17 points, Ivica Zubac has 19 points, James Harden has a double-double of 10 assist and 19 points, Paul George got 25 points,

[FanEagle]

Pacers definitely deserved every bit of that win, I bet on Celtics to win as well and I came out mistaken, that should definitely be the most important part of the deal and I believe that we are going to end up with something that would make it a bit different, and could be a bit of a tough deal.

In the end, it's basketball and we just need to move to the next game, the teams do end up losing and they keep fighting for the next game, there is no need that I should feel sad and sit it out, I should feel the same way and just focus on what I can do with it on the next game. There is no tanking in the gambling world, we all try to be in the playoffs, and I will do my best to get back on the horse and hope to win the next one.

Tonight I think I'm riding the Raptors.  I know Lakers just beat the Clippers but James always comes up big in those types of games.  It's games like this they end up losing.  Toronto is young and with IQ running the show out there now they look like a new team.  Still feel like rj will come back to earth and be a dead end on most possessions but I'm gonna ride them out.

Also unsure of the Timberwolves over under is but I'm probably gonna take the under on that game.

The Lakers and Raptors game is the only one I avoided. I am not confident in the Lakers these days…

As for the others, I tossed all the favorites together in a multi-bet to win. The odds are decent when you consider the rest of the games are pretty big mismatches. Hopefully there are no surprises today.

[danherbias07]

5 games today. Here are my picks.

Orlando Magic - Minnesota Timberwolves - Minnesota Timberwolves & Over 216.5 @2.70 Going for a combo. I think 216 is low considering the offensive powers of both teams. I just hope they don't play too much defense. Still no Franz Wagner and Wendell Carter Jr. for the Magic. But, they did win against the Hawks despite having that handicap too.

Detroit Pistons - Sacramento Kings - Sacramento Kings (-10.5) They should cover this. I hope.

New York Knicks - Portland Trail Blazers - New York Knicks (-10.5)

Dallas Mavericks - Memphis Grizzlies - Dallas Mavericks (-7.5) Luka Doncic is listed as probable and Grant Williams which is why I took the smallest spreads there is. It's only 1.79 but I think that is a good profit too if they can cover it. Ja Morant out for the rest of the season. Santi Aldama is questionable to play and so is Jaren Jackson Jr. This will be a Grizzlies team that will be played by the bench.

Los Angeles Lakers - Toronto Raptors - Los Angeles Lakers (-2.5) Time for the Lakers to win games again. After defeating the strong Clippers, their confidence must be high tonight.

Good luck everyone.

Here are my bets and predictions for games today

Orlando Magic VS Minnesota Timberwolves

The stake odds for this game are 2.70 for the Orlando Magic and 1.50 for the Minnesota Timberwolves, right now Admiral Schofield, Franz Wagner, Joe Ingles, Gary Harris, Wendell Carter Jr., and Jonathan Isaac can not play for the Orlando Magic, while Jaylen Clark has Achilles injury and can not play for the Minnesota Timberwolves, for this game even though with all that injuries from the Orlando Magic, it only gives them an edge because now they have given Paulo Banchero more playing time than usual and most of the team is great now with their performance, while for me the Minnesota Timberwolves is on their average performance for me I really like to risk with the Underdog so my pick is the Orlando Magic,

Detroit Pistons VS Sacramento Kings

The stake odds for this game are 5.20 for the Detroit Pistons and 1.18 for the Sacramento Kings, right now Stanley Umude has a foot injury and can not play for the Pistons Cade Cunningham, Isaiah Stewart, and Monte Morris can not play for the Detroit Pistons, while the Sacramento Kings doesn't have any injury for this game and so for the Pistons that doesn't have Cade Cunningham this could bring new talent on a rise as they will be given more playing time but for this game I think the Kings will still prevail so my pick is the Sacramento Kings,

Los Angeles Lakers VS Toronto Raptors

The stake odds for this game are 1.56 for the Los Angeles Lakers and 2.50 for the Toronto Raptors, right now LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Rui Hachimura are questionable if they can play for the Lakers Gabe Vincent has a Knee injury and can not play for the Los Angeles Lakers, while Otto Porter Jr. is questionable if he can play for the Raptors, Jakob Poeltl, and Christian Koloko can not play for the Toronto Raptors, for this game the Toronto Raptors had a pretty good game again against the Warriors, the Kings, and the Grizzlies where RJ Barrett, Scottie Barnes or Pascal Siakam will be their lead for sure the Raptors are still improving but the Lakers right now are not really consistent and now that LeBron And AD will need a rest I would like to risk it here and my pick is the Toronto Raptors,

[OgNasty]

My parlay for the day is looking good so far. The Kings, Knicks, and Timberwolves came through for me. Now I just need the Dallas Mavericks to beat the Memphis Grizzlies. It’s not looking good at the moment with Dallas down by 15 at the half, but without Ja Morant I feel like the Mavericks can still pull out a win.

Almost. Dallas ruined your parlay OG, it could be easy for them at least to win since Morant was already out for the reason. This is a big upset, Luka + Kyrie loss to the undermanned Memphis. The biggest story here is on the rebounding big difference, Dallas -33, while Memphis got 54.

Damn, I also had the Kings + Knicks with the handicap that they covered and then Mavericks, no handicap at all all they have to do is beat the Memphis team.

Unfortunately, it's not just me that they ruin the parlay, and they thought that it's going to be easy without Ja Morant. But not sure what happen to the Mavericks, maybe they got overconfident on this game making us lose our bet.

Sometimes it happens, even the Suns, we thought they would easily win since Ja Morant was absent but it turns out the Memphis won. This is their 2 consecutive wins since missing Morant, it seems like they have already adjusted, and Morant was a big factor on their success. This team plays hard, they share the ball well and they attack, unlike the Mavericks which sometimes easy to predict as it's only between the two (irving and Doncic) who would usually carry the team.

[danherbias07]

God damn! That Sacrament Kings bet scared me a bit there.
Detroit Pistons started way strong. Their 3-point percentage was damn high and Bojan Bogdanovic was sizzling hot everywhere. He is literally cooking in the first quarter.
But luckily, the Kings found their way back in the second quarter.

My bet was -10.5 which is why I am worried.

0
Orlando Magic - Minnesota Timberwolves - Minnesota Timberwolves & Over 216.5 - Lost. I am a damned idiot. I forgot that the Magic will have a hard time making a score without Franz. I should've taken that into consideration.
Detroit Pistons - Sacramento Kings - Sacramento Kings (-10.5) - Win
New York Knicks - Portland Trail Blazers - New York Knicks (-10.5) - Win
Dallas Mavericks - Memphis Grizzlies - Dallas Mavericks (-7.5) - Lost
Los Angeles Lakers - Toronto Raptors - Los Angeles Lakers (-2.5) - Lost

2/5 and my same game parlay for the Kings was also a loss. A very bad day for me but congratulations to the winners today.

[YuginKadoya]

Here are the results of my bets and predictions for games today it is not really a great result but still I got 1 win and risking it all with the Orlando Magic and Toronto Raptors was a bad idea,

Orlando Magic VS Minnesota Timberwolves SCORE 92 - 113 - LOST

From start to finish the Minnesota Timberwolves were in the lead from start to finish 1st half ended with 37 to 67, in favor of the Minnesota Timberwolves, this is the weakness of the Magic they don't have enough tall guys that could defend the rim, while the Orlando Magic can not defended their rim more often because they lack height, for sure I thought that the Orlando Magic could make a leap further and win this game because of Banchero and I thought that this is his turn to shine but it was Naz Reid getting the double-double of 10 rebounds and 13 points, Jaden McDaniels got 15 points, Rudy Gobert has a double-double of 12 rebounds and 21 points, and Karl Anthony-Towns has 28 points,

Detroit Pistons VS Sacramento Kings SCORE 110 - 131 - WIN

The only win that I have at 1st I was shocked by how the Detroit Pistons got the 1st quarter lead but the Sacramento Kings have gotten their momentum in the 2nd quarter,
then the Sacramento Kings are now leading the game it was amazing but at least the Detroit Pistons have tried but failed miserably as the Sacramento Kings have gotten a tremendous lead in just a short time, Malik Monk got 20 points, De'Aaron Fox got 26 points, Keegan Murray got 32 points and Domantas Sabonis got a triple-double of 10 rebounds 13 assist and 37 points, for this game,

Los Angeles Lakers VS Toronto Raptors SCORE 132 - 131 - LOST

Now this is really close game but the Los Angeles Lakers have taken the win even though it was a 1-lead game it is still a win for the LA Lakers, even though Anthony Davis has a double-double of 11 rebounds and 41 points for this game it was really enough for them to win it because the Toronto Raptors is likely can control the pace of the game but in this game for sure I thought that the Raptors could win this but I was wrong with my pick, and the Los Angeles Lakers manage to make it a win for them but it was really a close game,

[owengtam09]

The result of my pick for games yesterday

Orlando Magic (2.70) VS Minnesota Timberwolves (1.50) - WIN


Pretty much it was a one-sided game and I was right to take the Timberwolves as many injured players on the Magic side is a big risk for sure because it got a close odd that means there are some trusting Paulo Banchero in this game but as I have seen it the Orlando Magic got plenty of those but they are having a hard time with the Minnesota Timberwolves because of the sizes of the players, the Timberwolves got Mike Conley Jr. getting double-double Naz Reid also have double-double, Rudy Gobert also got double-double for this game, and Karl Anthony-Towns that gotten the lead points,

New York Knicks (1.15) VS Portland Trail Blazers (6.00) - WIN


For sure the Trail Blazers are one of the struggling teams, while the New York Knicks are progressing pretty great for sure they are a team that is making good great winning right now Quentin Grimes Donte DiVincenzo and Miles McBride are getting great with their performance, but for this game it was Julius Randle again and OG Anunoby heavy lead score, while Jalen Brunson was for making the play and Isaiah Hartenstein got a pretty much great rebounding for this game,

Dallas Mavericks (1.27) VS Memphis Grizzlies (4.00) - LOST


This one I was baffled I really thought that the Mavericks were winning this and even without Ja Morant the Grizzlies were now playing well, while I thought that the Dallas Mavericks were already winning this game but I was wrong, even though Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving did play and got big points for this game it was not enough as their team doesn't do well while the Grizzlies got their 2 prominent scorers, Marcus Smart, and Desmond Bane they got a great score while the other players are there for  back-up and scored 10 plus, that has made the Dallas Mavericks win this game,

[OgNasty]

Looks like the Clippers recent winning streak has paid dividends for them as they’ve now signed Kawhi Leonard to a 3 year extension (for over $150,000,000). Not sure if that means the Clippers are a good bet today or not. Quite possible Kawhi and Harden spent all night drinking in a strip club last night.

[danherbias07]

10 games! Woooh! It will be a sweet prize for a parlay.

Here are my picks for today.
Indiana Pacers - Washington Wizards - Indiana Pacers (-7.5) - Haliburton is out so I won't get my hopes up for a blowout but I do wish they can cover that spread.

Charlotte Hornets - Sacramento Kings - Sacramento Kings (-10.5) - Kings played well on the second half yesterday against the Pistons. I hope they can repeat the same performance today or if possible be better and start strong.

Miami Heat - Oklahoma City Thunder - Oklahoma City Thunder (-2.5) Heat is still filled with injured stars so I'd rather pick the Thunder for today with only Bertans and Sarr who will not be able to play.

Chicago Bulls - Houston Rockets - Houston Rockets (5.5) I am trusting Sengun to keep this game close or better, win it!

Golden State Warriors - New Orleans Pelicans - Golden State Warriors ML - Playing at home, a must-win for the Warriors to avoid a 11-11 home standing.

Good luck everyone!

[Dave1]

Warriors is down against the Pelicans right now.

I will go with the Pels going -9.5 @1.85. It seems that the Warriors mentality right now is very off as a former champion.

As they are down 13 points in the middle of the 3rd quarter.

Hawks and Sixers going into OT.

Yes, it seems like they lose their old chemistry as they were very inconsistent now. Although there are rumors that Draymond might return soon but their defensive presence in the paint is really a concern. It's okay if their opponnents aren't shooting well, but they have already adjusted and learn how to shot from the outside while retaining their good inside presence.

Maybe coach Kerr strategy is not working anymore? And the small ball won't work in general?

Hawks and Sixers going into OT.

Can't believe this went to OT and Sixers loss.
