Taking the Knicks tonight and the line at 223.5 and I'm also going to take the under at 223.5.  I can see the Knicks keeping Detroit at around 100 tonight despite the return of some of their guys, grimes, Fourier etc from this month's trade. 

Also taking the Pacers-5.5. I think the rapters have some growing to do with their new team and Pacers take this o e in double digit win.

[morvillz7z]

∆ S. Barnes 30+ PRA / S. Barnes 1+ stocks / Over 235.5 points @1.96 ∆  won

I'm shaving off 10 points off the O/U, which is set at 245.5, expect this to hit with ease. The first two games between the teams smashed the over (similar spreads) with 252 and 263 points, respectively. The Pacers are also on the back end of a back-to-back, which should help Raptors' offense.

Scottie Barnes vs. the leggy Pacers defense, who says no? The Pacers are bottom 5 in the league in opponent points per game given to SF/PF. Barnes has cleared 30+ PRA in 4/L5, including two games against IND this season. I think i should have taken 2+ stocks instead of 1+, Barnes has at least one steal/block in 44 consecutive games...👀

detroit is a very weak team this season. if the odds of winning high is better to choose new york nick win. can make the batch warranty definitely win. but if under over total points detroit is hard to guess because detroit can also score a lot in a match.

I might regret this bet on the Pistons later. Even though they're one of the worst teams, I still like their chances of covering the spread against the Knicks.

They should lose this game, but i'm banking on them to have a good start and hold in the second half since the Knicks are usually getting outscored in the first half.



Also, BOL on your Raptors and Pacers bets. It's fishy when the Pacers have been doing okay while the Raptors are only given 4-5 points.

On the contrary, they've almost win this game if not for the referees not calling foul on the Knicks down the stretch, they take a 1 point lead and they have the possession after a missed by Josh Hart, but they've lost it no whistle, they were able to take it back and steal the ball but still the referee didn't call.

So good win for you, you take that risk.

Raptors did won with the score of 130-122. I missed this game though, been beating on the Raptors specially if they are the underdog.

It's quite surprising that suddenly the Pistons are starting to improve. I'd say that the Knicks are somewhat overrated now, considering they are heavy favorites even when struggling to beat a team with a bad standing. Great pick, @ralle14, as always. Just like you, I also won on this game, but that was betting on the Knicks to win by 1-5 points, and I just got it right with x5 odds, so it's a great day for me too.

Raptors did won with the score of 130-122. I missed this game though, been beating on the Raptors specially if they are the underdog.

Pacers probably was tired as they just destroyed the Dallas on the road and then came back home to host the Raptors.
Still good game but they just fall short in the 4th quarter giving the Raptors the momentum.

We have 11 games tomorrow and I haven't made any picks for today's game but will be getting into the game for tomorrow so here are my picks

Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Dallas Mavericks

Cleveland Cavaliers [1.57] - The only injury for the Cavaliers is Ty Jerome which have an Ankle injury, while the Dallas Mavericks have an unhealthy Luka Doncic who is in danger if he is playing in this game or not, and most potential players that can not play for the Mavericks are Josh Green, Maxi Kleber, Dante Exum and Dereck Lively II, last game for the Cleveland Cavaliers was a win against the Washington Wizards from their 2 consecutive losses last game but right now the Mavericks is showing weakness from their 7 consecutive winning games was halted because they lost last game I think this is because of unhealthy players that they have right now, so my pick is the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Atlanta Hawks vs. Utah Jazz

Utah Jazz [2.04] - Trae Young and Onyeka Okongwu and 2 players that can not play for this game and the 2 players that the Hawks needed, while the Utah Jazz just got Otto Porter Jr. can not play due to Not Injury Related problem, so for this game Trae Young is a crucial piece for the Hawks and not having him around could be a potential lost but it could also be a great chance for them but right now against a shinning team that is the Utah Jazz I think they will be having a problem against that so my pick is the Utah Jazz.

New York Knicks vs. New Orleans Pelicans

New Orleans Pelicans [1.75] - Zion Williamson and CJ McCollum are unhealthy for this game and have a potential that they can not play this game while Julius Randle, Mitchell Robinson, and OG Anunoby can not play for this game so there is a disparity for the team to lose this one, while the New Orleans even though there is no Zion Williamson can still manage to win if they have Brandon Ingram and Jonas Valanciunas to the team so my pick for this game are the New Orleans Pelicans winning this game.

I guess it's wise to wait for an update, as these two players who are now listed as questionable are starters for the team. Without them, the NYK might struggle against the Pelicans. Although the Knicks are on a back-to-back game, it's a home game where they have an impressive record. I like the Pelicans actually, but I won't bet this early. I'll wait for the latest update, and I might get a high handicap once these two players listed as questionable are officially out.

[danherbias07]

Indiana Pacers - Toronto Raptors - Indiana Pacers (-4.5) - Loss!
New York Knicks - Detroit Pistons - New York Knicks (-10.5) - Loss! Oh c'mon Knicks. Should've blown out the Pistons.
Sacramento Kings - Miami Heat - Miami Heat (8.5) - Win! I was right! The Heat bench is always playing great whenever Coach Spo lets them handle the game. Kings tried to come back in the fourth but were easily recovered by the Heat. Man! I should've gone for an ML. Greedy smile.

Later, 11 games. Wow!
Parlay makers, this is another chance for a high multiplier game.

Here are my picks.
Washington Wizards - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors (-9.5) - A must-win for the Warriors to get that confidence back on the road. Lots of questionable players on the Wizards side.
Orlando Magic - Brooklyn Nets - Orlando Magic (-6.5) - Banchero is questionable for the Magic. Simmons won't be playing for the Nets.
Cleveland Cavaliers - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks (6.5) - This will be a lot of fun to watch. Luka is probable and so is Kleber and Lively III.
Atlanta Hawks - Utah Jazz - Utah Jazz (-1.5) - 4 weeks without Trae Young. I hope Utah knows where they should focus their defense.
New York Knicks - New Orleans Pelicans - New Orleans Pelicans (-1.5) - Zion is questionable and so is McCollum. If they won't play, I guess it will just be a good match.
Boston Celtics - Philadelphia 76ers - Boston Celtics (-10.5) - Without Embiid, I won't trust my money to the 76ers just yet.

Live betting for the remaining games.
Good luck everyone, have a great day.

Here's my pick for today.  Not the greatest odds so I wouldn't follow it if I were you, but I needed to get a multi-game parlay after hitting a few losses in a row.  No games that excite me today with plenty of mismatches to be disappointed with.

Milwaukee Bucks - Charlotte Hornets

Chicago Bulls - Detroit Pistons

Minnesota Timberwolves - San Antonio Spurs
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Minnesota Timberwolves

Minnesota Timberwolves is at the top of the West and has won 7 of its last 10 games. Minnesota Timberwolves won its second game in a row, most recently defeating Brooklyn Nets 101-86 at home. Anthony Edwards led Minnesota with 29 points, Karl-Anthony Towns had 28 points and 9 rebounds and Mike Conley had 14 points. In other words, this was a team that was effective everywhere and in every facet.

At this level of form, the only thing that could cause Minnesota Timberwolves to struggle against San Antonio Spurs is comfort. Maybe it could also be the expanded rotation. San Antonio Spurs is a team with 11 wins in 58 games. Still, they managed to beat Minnesota Timberwolves on January 27th. Minnesota Timberwolves had beaten them with some difficulty when they hosted them at the beginning of December. Of course, a lot has changed over time and with Minnesota Timberwolves in great shape, I don't expect them to make any mistakes.

[morvillz7z]

I was just wanted to share this nice win i had yesterday, small stake but decent odds nonetheless. Sabonis was the biggest sweat, with two early fouls in the first four minutes of the game, he came clutch with a monster third quarter though.

Don't have anything planned for today, but if i did, i'd turn to the Hawks guards given Trae's injury. Murray -> assists and Bogdanovic -> 3s.

Thanks and congrats on winning that margin bet from the Knicks, i've also noticed some of the weaker teams cover these double-digit spreads more than usual so I thought of taking a shot on the Pistons.

I'm also on the Mavs spread, as the Cavs haven't been that consistent with their performance recently while the Mavs could potentially return to their winning ways after losing against the Pacers.



Edit: That final shot from the Cavs was unreal. 

[wheelz1200]

Crashed and burned yesterday.  Took another 4 games tonight:

Dallas on the road +4.5. I hate betting against clevland at home but think kyrie matches up well and should have a dominant night.  30+ points.

Celtics -11.5 against the sixers.  At home and without embid they look lost.  If the Knicks beat them up with their b squad the Celtics should wipe the sixers tonight.

And I can't believe it but I bet Warriors on the road.  I hate betting them on the road but playing against the Wizards I think they will smell blood and take this one down knowing it's a must win from here on out against the lower teams.  Warriors -10.5

Enjoy the games and good luck!

Sometimes I hit a bet with bigger odds, but most of the time I lose. I don't even count if I'm up or not; I just love to take a high risk and maybe have fun. But my bet on normal odds is quite bigger and very limited in choosing a game.

I'm also on the Mavs spread, as the Cavs haven't been that consistent with their performance recently while the Mavs could potentially return to their winning ways after losing against the Pacers.



Edit: That final shot from the Cavs was unreal. 

They almost had that win, but Strus ruined their chance. Just won! It's unbelievable; this guy really adds some good value to the team, and he is the product of the Miami Heat, who are not afraid to take shots, even big shots like that. Anyway, since Dallas is now on a 2-game losing streak, I think it's imperative to back them tomorrow against the Raptors.

[danherbias07]

Good day.

Washington Wizards - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors (-9.5) - Won!
Orlando Magic - Brooklyn Nets - Orlando Magic (-6.5) Won!
Cleveland Cavaliers - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks (6.5) - Won! The Mavs could've won this game if not for Max Struss's halfcourt buzzer-beater.
Atlanta Hawks - Utah Jazz - Utah Jazz (-1.5) Loss! Without Trae Young, the Hawks still managed to blow out the Jazz.
New York Knicks - New Orleans Pelicans - New Orleans Pelicans (-1.5) - Won!
Boston Celtics - Philadelphia 76ers - Boston Celtics (-10.5) - Won!

And here's a bonus.

Miami Heat had been shockingly playing great with or without their stars.

Later, 6 games.
Here are my picks.

Indiana Pacers - New Orleans Pelicans - Indiana Pacers (-3.5) - CJ McCollum won't be available for this game.
Toronto Raptors - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks (-1.5) - I don't want to be greedy. The Raptors can sometimes be surprising.
Minnesota Timberwolves - Memphis Grizzlies - Minnesota Timberwolves (-10.5) - They are just too much against any team right now.
Chicago Bulls - Cleveland Cavaliers - Cleveland Cavaliers (-3.5) - The Cavs might be exhausted from a back-to-back game but I don't think they will let this one slip away that easy.
Denver Nuggets - Sacramento Kings - Denver Nuggets (-5.5)

Good luck everyone, have a nice day.

Yeah, there are games that the Pistons are improving or even just going toe to toe with the team and highly had a chance to win like this one. They just need to have the mentality and Cunningham could have lead the team, but unfortunately he missed a lot of crucial shots that game.

Pelicans might be tired, but I like their chances at +5.5 against the Pacers here.

[OgNasty]

Another day, another upset ruined my parlay.    Big tears over here but I'll be ok.  Let's see if we can manage to make some of it back and hit a nice parlay today.  Some good games to watch regardless of the outcome.

Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Dallas Mavericks

Minnesota Timberwolves - Memphis Grizzlies
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Minnesota Timberwolves

Chicago Bulls - Cleveland Cavaliers
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Cleveland Cavaliers

Denver Nuggets - Sacramento Kings
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Denver Nuggets

Odds
3.80

[ralle14]

I'm looking for my third win in a row with the Nuggets, and i'm hoping the rest advantage is more than enough for them to get a decent lead. The last time they met the Kings came out on top, but surely the Nuggets wouldn't let that happen again now they're only a few games behind the other top teams.



The Cavs' spread was somewhat tempting against the Bulls, but it already moved by a point and the Bulls now might be the more hungry team after losing against the Pistons.

Anyway, since Dallas is now on a 2-game losing streak, I think it's imperative to back them tomorrow against the Raptors.

BOL, if you're going to back them. From my perspective, it's too risky when the Raptors could make this a competitive match and the Mavs could be in for another close loss.
