Game : Spurs vs Bucks.

The line is spurs @ +9.5.. I think Bucks are just so overrated, that's what bookies trying to deliver to us, but I would go with the Spurs since they are winning 6-4 on their last 10 games, and though I believe Bucks is a good team but +9.5 is just too high IMO for them to cover.

Therefore my pick is Spurs +9.5

I'll be riding with Spurs pick, I've not watched Milwaukee Bucks play in quite a while, so I guess I'll be doing so today.


Btw:
My Betbuilder for today is not so convincing due to limited number of fixtures to pick from and that would https://i.imgur.com/hqb7sNl.jpg

A sudden change of odds with Grizzlies and GSW after winning.
From 4.10 yesterday to 2.85. 

I'll take my chances with the Clippers vs Hornets game.
Hornets ML.
Ball had been playing great and even gave the Lakers a hard time to win.
With their guards offensive power they might win it, while Pat Beverley is still on the sideline. 

I liked it, Hornets has to win this game, they have 2 loses in a row already, it's time for them to surprise another good team. LA Clippers also came from a loss against the Dallas Mavericks, but we know Clippers are not consistent lately and Hornets are making surprises, I'm riding, let's go.

I'm glad I trusted Pacers last night and took them to win as I trusted my instinct and tonight won't be different even if we don't have a lot of games to pick from. I'm leaning towards Grizzlies, Kings +10 and Spurs +5 because a lot of people underestimate Grizzlies team ,  76ers need to drop a game at some point and maybe this could be that game and Bucks are having way to many wins in a row for how they're playing...

So you are talking the Grizzlies at -6.5 against the Warriors which beat them in a 13 points win. Grizzlies are still the favorites in this game, I'm not sure if I can still take the -6.5, maybe an ML would be good as they might get a revenge tonight.

Meanwhile, Lakers lose against the Atlanta Hawks.

Final score : 99-94

Garrison Matthews ruined my eMVPiid bet two weeks ago, my hedge with LeBron on the MVP race might as well be over after another scrub, Solomon Hill semi intentionally struck Bron's ankle, video:

I'm not sure how much time/games LeBron will miss if any, he did get a 3pointer to go (10pts streak alive  ) but exit the game after that.

So yeah no bets for me today, not tailing either, i see a few of you have the Spurs +9.5, looks good imo, it's hard to lay 10 points with MIL the way that have been playing this season, though there are two things you should know, Bucks will have P.J. Tucker available to make his debut today and Spurs might be a bit tired, played last night and had to travel...line has moved to Spurs +11.5.

Anyway, gl to those who have bets, i will be back tomorrow with my props.

Found some recent news from Woj informing about X-rays results were negative on his right ankle.

So it will just be a sprain although it really looks bad from his reaction. Aging? 

Therefore my pick is Spurs +9.5

You are really good with this stadus.
Thanks for the pick. Yeah, I took the ride. Luckily, they covered it.

Meanwhile, Lakers lose against the Atlanta Hawks.

Final score : 99-94

Not a good game for the Lakers, Lebron was injured and he is out indefinitely.

Rondo and Schroder is having a great match up though Schroder won per his stats but it's fun to see a game where each team are paying so much attention on defense. Though Lebron was down early, it's still good that the Lakers were able to give the Hawks a tough game, but on their succeeding games, I don't know.

Therefore my pick is Spurs +9.5

You are really good with this stadus.
Thanks for the pick. Yeah, I took the ride. Luckily, they covered it. 

Congrats to us, I also followed the pick.

I ended the night 2/3 including one of my Betbuilder.

Thanks to stadus for the Spurs pick, that's how many in a row now ?

He's not getting any younger but looking at how much he gets involves in plays and how often he plays, he's doing absolutely great, I'd say.

Magic vs Celtics.

I pick Magic for ML, @4.30.

Celtics is on the losing skid right now (3 in a row), while Magic got a big boost winning against the Nets. It's a long shot (but I like my chances) if Magic got the confidence now, I think they can pull a big upset against the 8th seed Boston.

Another risky bet but a good money, Magic beat the Nets so it's not impossible for them to beat the Celtics. I'm riding with it, just the moneyline as the odds is really good, can't resist it.

By the way, I also have my own pick the upcoming games.

Dallas at Portland (part 2)... I think Portland could still win this game.

Celtics already have 3 straight losing streak and that's not the usual for such a great team, this one is really risky for both of you
but best of luck!

Dallas at Portland (part 2)... I think Portland could still win this game.

With the hypes calling for Lilard to win the MVP, this really interesting game, he keeps on impressing the fans and this quest in winning the awards needs being back up by wins. And besides, they've got CJ back on track.

[stadus]

Thanks to stadus for the Spurs pick, that's how many in a row now ?

You are welcome, sorry I can't tell because I'm not counting anymore, I also have bad picks so I'm not really far ahead.

Anyway, here's my early pick.

Game : Lakers vs Suns.

Lakers on a b2b game and first time missing Lebron in the season, I guess Suns would easily beat them. Suns had a lot of games where they won double digit so I am confident that not only they'll win but they will also cover the spread.

Therefore my pick is Suns -8.5.

[danherbias07]

Griffin probable to play but just to be safe I'll go for Nets -6.5 vs Washington Wizards.
You'll never know. Beal and WB have their good nights.

Who will take the Suns handicap? Lowest -6.5. They are hit hard without Lebron. No playmaker and that's like -20 points on their offense.
Nuggets -5.5 versus Pelicans. Lonzo Ball questionable to play.

Edit: Oh there, stadus took it above.

I'm taking this one too.  The Nets over under is 246.5. It should be a high scoring game but thats a huge number.  Leaning towards the over and the nets ML.  Also like the Pelicans over 231, that should be another up and down game.

[Sanitough]

I guess everyone will be taking the Phoenix Suns, hopefully it's not a trap as we will see if they still have that kind of grit even without their King LBJ. The line is quite high but it's justifiable since Lebron is out, their number 1 scorer, their best player so it could probably be a gift.

Dennis Schröder probably need to bring his A game here so he can replace the spot of Lebron James, most likely if he is lucky, he can get a double double (assists and points), anyone betting on the player prop?

I'm not but probably not a bad prop bet to bet.  He will have the points, its if he will get there with the assists.  Unless Kuma has his outside shot working points are going to be tough to come by for the lakers.

I'm riding with @stadus yet again on the Phoenix Suns -8.5

My night actually started early and big thanks to the overtime from Miami Heat and Indiana Pacer I was able to hit my first betbuilder

I just had emotion until the last wire on Houston game as I had them +2.5 and I won by just 1 point. I saw Wood almost crying man when he realized they're about to loose another game which makes the team 0-20. at this point you must feel bad for this team as no matter what they are professional athletes and a loosing streak like this can really affect your play style in the long term so I hope next game they will motivate stronger than ever and take that win.

It was their best chance of winning but they still lose, Houston is in a cold losing streak and we don't know when would that be stopped.

They are now in the history of NBA All-Time Longest Losing Streaks.

According to this website https://www.dunkest.com/en/nba/news/31568/nba-longest-losing-streaks, the longest losing streak is 28 by the Philadelphia 76ers, maybe they can beat that.

Me too!!!
I'm not late, I took the bet before the game.
The Lakers are struggling to get their best offense while it's easy with the Suns.
The only thing that could turn this game around is when the Suns become careless with every possession and they do a lot of turnovers already at 1st quarter.
Luckily, their coach see's it and took the timeout.

Props for Kuzma and Schroder is a good choice here.
