S. Barnes 12+ pts / 5+ rebs / 1+ steal @2.18 won

I have a little something on the Raptors rookie Scottie Barnes following his career-high in both points and rebounds against the Nets last night. Raptors and Nets play again today and both OG Anunoby and FVV are ruled out which means extended usage on offense for Barnes. I watched the game last night and it was such a mismatch having J. Johnson or LA try to guard/stop him from scoring in the paint. Nets had a few rotations with undersized guys like B. Brown to no avail. Barnes finished the game with 28/16/4 + 5 steals. I don't expect the Nets to lose by 36pts again, but i can't see who can slow him down, i will likely have another prop with higher lines on Barnes...too good of a matchup to pass up.

3 bets on my list.
Boston Celtics vs Atlanta Hawks - Celtics -5.5 It should be -6.5 but I am worried that 1 point might make the difference. They lose against the Pacers last time and they may want to win more to seal the 6th spot in the East and avoid the play-in.

I'm on the Celtics as well since they met a few weeks back and won by 10 points, I wouldn't worry much about them failing to cover a point or two since they usually win by double digits.

I just hope they shoot well this time around since they were shooting below 50% against the Pacers yesterday.



Edit : Celtics looking grim now that Brown got injured.

Congrats to both of you, it seems that the Celtics has covered it on time, score, 107-98.

Missed the games today, no bet for me,  >. A bit busy, but anyways, there are still a lot of games tomorrow, don't want to bet on the Lakers vs Mavs game right now. Will just enjoy Luka's, and might pull a triple double in this game.

I agree with what you said
I believe that soon, Ja Morant will be at the level of the best point guards in the NBA today. Curry, Lillard, CP3, Kyrie Irving among others.

The only thing he doesn't have very solid is experience, I believe that Ja Morant will have to acquire a little more experience, be constant in the games, take responsibility among other things.

After he achieves this, I have no doubt he will be one of the best PGs in the NBA (if he doesn't by now)

Regarding the Nets, Durant is the most important player on the team, he is experienced and I have no doubt that he will guide the Nets to victory.

Celtics -6.5 vs Atlanta Hawks

Lakers vs Dallas Mavericks -4.5

Lakers versus Mavs just finished playing with a 5 point lead win for the Mavs.  Just exactly what you need. That's a perfect bet for you bro if you also took the Timberwolves ML. Nice! Cheers!
2/3 only for me because of that GSW loss. Yeah, it's a trap and I didn't see that coming.

Celtics covered and so is the Clippers. A good night.

This is what happened if Steph Curry is the only contributing to there points while the rest of his team mates is struggling to make a double digit points since Klay Thompson have illness and missed both games with Mavs and Timberwolves. I thought Wiggins will show a good firepower in the game without Klay but still he is underforming. Betting on GSW especially a handicap in favor with them is very risky considering how inconsistent most of the player on field goal success.

Still 2/3 win is a good profit for you.

Yeah, I had a great night with my bets 2 of 2 with my picks, unfortunately I didn't take the Timberwolves ML, even though I strongly felt it would happen, Warriors just need to get better down stretch, they really Draymond back on the floor.

Mavericks were able to cover the -4.5 point exactly, after the run from Lakers in the 3rd, I assumed it was lost bet already.

[YuginKadoya]

Hmm, your choices are quite interesting!
By the way, I don't think I'll be able to place my bets today, but anyway I wish you all good luck guys!!!

I believe the game between Cavs vs Timberwolves will be very competitive and close, and I also believe in the game between the Nets and Raptors (even though Durant is out injured)

Thank you, I surely will post more picks when I am not busy with the work or something, the game between the Cavaliers VS Timberwolves really was a close one good prediction, Evan Mobley, from the Cavaliers got a double-double performance while Kevin Love have lead the team with 26 points, together with Jarett Allen and Cedi Osman but it was not enough with the Timberwolves determination to win the game it was really a close match, you should bet if you have some extra,

wow, congrats @YuginKadoya
In fact you got all the bets!


With these games we had I was surprised by Ja Morant's performance, he scored over 50 points and literally carried the team on his back! This is surreal!!

Talking about the Nets game, I still believed they could beat the Raptors (i was completely wrong), was a big surprise, Toronto won with more than 30 points.

WOW! I haven't seen the games because I had some things to do, but it was a great game to watch in my opinion, and Ja Morant surely is firing up some great stuff there, and with the Nets VS the Raptors I am having my doubt on them if they don't have their main key players to play I will go with the other team,

Here is the result on my Yesterdays picks

Cleveland Cavaliers VS Minnesota Timberwolves SCORE 122 - 127 - WIN

It was a close game, I think both teams could win if they push themselves to their limits but yes, the Timberwolves just got the resolves in winning this game, but that struggle to keep up on the 4th quarter was really a hard play.

Brooklyn Nets VS Toronto Raptors SCORE 97 - 133 - WIN

This game was really close enough but with my picks, I have gone with the Raptors because the Nets does have their big players to play, and so my pick was right, LaMarcus Aldridge has led the team with 15 points while Cameron Thomas and Bruce Brown Jr. back him up, but it was not enough with Scottie Barnes double-double performance and Precious Achiuwa backup points of 20 to win against the Nets.

Milwaukee Bucks VS Charlotte Hornets SCORE 130 - 106 - WIN

Lamelo Ball as always has led another game of Hornets with 24 points but was not enough to Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis's double-double performance that has the Bucks winning the game.

Memphis Grizzlies VS San Antonio Spurs SCORE 118 - 105 - WIN

WOW! that is my reaction to Jo Morant's incredible performance a 52 points even though Jakob Poeltl has a double-double performance the Grizzlies have led the score high enough for the Spurs to regain a lead.

Thanks.   I nearly lost hope when they lost Brown at the first couple of minutes of the game and at the same time down by like 15+ points in the first half but good thing they had a huge 2nd half.

Same, even though the Lakers are performing badly it's always tough to bet against them since you never know when they'll actually show up. I also kind of like the Sixers for tomorrow since they already took down the Knicks on the road a few days ago.

Boston Celtics vs Atlanta Hawks - Celtics -5.5 It should be -6.5 but I am worried that 1 point might make the difference. They lose against the Pacers last time and they may want to win more to seal the 6th spot in the East and avoid the play-in.

Houston Rockets vs LA Clippers - Clippers -6.5
Minnesota Timberwolves vs Golden State Warriors - Warriors -3.5 Last they met Warriors won by 9 points with Klay. Now Klay is out due to illness but I think they can come through.

I think I like your picks, however, the only one I'm not going to be taking would be the Warriors, the line for has changed and it's currently -1.5, I think this might be a trap and I'd be leaning more towards taking the Timberwolves ML here, because the Warriors might have to depend a bit more on Curry to call the shots and we'll all agree that he's not being at his best even though the numbers might suggest otherwise, but as I've said I'll only be a spectator in the game, except I find some interesting live bet to take.

My Picks:

Celtics -6.5 vs Atlanta Hawks

Lakers vs Dallas Mavericks -4.5

Taking the mavs here too.  The Lakers are lifeless at this point, Luka should have his way the entire night against this team.  Lakers really have no one to match up with Luka.  Might actually tease the points up 3 or 4 more points to get better odds.  Don't like any of the other games.  Might take the under on the golden state and Timberwolves game. 232 might be a lot for this one.

Mavs just pulled this one out clearing the spread by the hook.  That 4th quarter by Dallas was brutal they should have had this locked in far in advance of the final buzzer.  Gs under was a flop that game had zero defense lol.  Lots of games tonight.  Here are my early picks:

Sixers -10.5 (as a knick fan this hurts but they are dead money the rest of the year)
Cavs -3.  At he I think they take the win here
Blazers +13.  With cp3 out I still like the Suns but without their facilitator it shouldn't be a blowout. 

[Sanitough]

Sixers -10.5 (as a knick fan this hurts but they are dead money the rest of the year)

I like this pick, Harden and Embiid are hot, their win streak might continue and they will dominate the Knicks. GL, I'm riding this one.

Cavs -3.  At he I think they take the win here
Blazers +13.  With cp3 out I still like the Suns but without their facilitator it shouldn't be a blowout. 

Skipping the Cavaliers but taking the Suns. Last 2 loses of the Blazers are more than 30 points, I think they'll continue to struggle and once again they'll lose by 20+ or 30+ points, so the Suns should cover the spread.

[YuginKadoya]

Here are my picks for tomorrow's game highlighted in green are my picks

Philadelphia 76ers VS New York Knicks

Stake Odds for this game 1.66 for the 76ers while 6.00 for the Knicks, right now the 76ers don't have any injuries they are 100% healthy while Quentin Grimes and Derrick Rose are not going to play for the Knicks while Luka Samanic and Nerlens Noel are questionable if they can play right now I think the 76ers are playing great right now with the Addition of James Harden to the team have increase success on the floor for Tyrese Maxey and Matisse Thybulle while Joel Embiid putting great effort for the team my pick will be the Philadelphia 76ers, but I will not bet for them because of the high odds.

Milwaukee Bucks VS Miami Heat

Stake Odds for this game is 1.54 for the Bucks while 2.55 for the Heat, and Brook Lopez, Pat Connaughton, and George Hill can not play for the Bucks while Victor Oladipo, Markieff Morris, and Kyle Lowry can not play for the Heat while Caleb Martin is questionable if he can play, the Bucks still have a great roster while Kyle Lowry can not play for the Heat, so this could playout for the Milwaukee Bucks.

Phoenix Suns VS Portland TrailBlazer

The stake odds for this game is 1.09 for the Suns while 8.20 for the TrailBlazers Dario Saric, Frank Kaminsky, and Chris Paul can not play for the Suns While Cameron Payne is questionable if he can play and for the TrailBlazers Marcos Louzada Silva, Damian Lillard, Jusuf Nurkic, Justise Winslow, and Eric Bledsoe can not play and Joe Ingles is out for this season, for now, Portland TrailBlazer has a lot of problems so my pick will be the Suns but I am staying away with the bet because of the high Odds.

[danherbias07]

Still 2/3 win is a good profit for you.

Thanks, bro.

Mavericks were able to cover the -4.5 point exactly, after the run from Lakers in the 3rd, I assumed it was lost bet already.

Almost, it scared me too as I was rooting for the Mavs at that game but their bench players made a heck of a great defense as soon as they were given minutes. Just not enough to stop Luka after he came back after resting 4 minutes at the start of the 4th.

Sixers -10.5 (as a knick fan this hurts but they are dead money the rest of the year)
Cavs -3.  At he I think they take the win here
Blazers +13.  With cp3 out I still like the Suns but without their facilitator it shouldn't be a blowout.  

I will follow the 2 bets 76ers -10.5 and Cavs changed a bit to -4.5. While I will take the Suns' side -10.5. @1.92 How much was the line when it was +13 for the Trail Blazers? Maybe we can win it both if the lead will just be 11 or 12.   Good luck to us.
Interesting game will be the Bucks vs Heat. I will watch it for sure.

[btc_angela]

^^ A lot of good games to bet tonight, will go with the Sixers as well -10.5. They have been dominating their opponents and winning huge margin, giving us good money betting on the handicap for them.

I will just have one interesting bet, it will be the Magic against the Pacers, they are the underdog so I reckon might be good to bet on them at ML.

[Harkorede]

^

Yeah, quite a number of games to bet on tonight, I'm not so comfortable with most of the double digits spread, especially 76ers double digits spread against New York  Knicks seem rather too much imo, so for now I'm taking the Cavaliers vs Charlotte Hornets, I might also opt for a few props as well.

I'm on the Sixers as well but I bought a point and moved the handicap down to -9.5 since the Knicks can still shoot well on any given day so there's a potential back door cover but the Sixers should have no issue covering the spreads.

Hopefully, the favorites continue to thrive since this is probably the second day in a row where all the favs cover or win. BOL

[TravelMug]

Knicks playing good so far in the first quarter, as they lead the Sixers with a double digit advantage. It's not that Philly is playing bad, but the Knicks is shooting great and playing good defense too.

As per odds though, the Sixers is still the favorite and no swing yet, but maybe at the end of the second quarter and if Knicks still have a huge lead maybe the odds might shift to the Knicks, and might be a good time to bet on the Sixers as underdog.

The 76ers has cut the lead now to just 7 points at the end of the 2nd quarter.

And they are still the favorite to win on the ML side, but sure though if they can cover that -10.5 at the beginning of the match. Joel Embiid next to come up big in the last 2 quarter. This is Harden's home court debut, he is scoring good, but he needs someone to step up and help him.

[danherbias07]

Like I thought, the Bucks and Heat game will be the most entertaining game of all. It was a close game with back and forth short runs from both teams. Game winner shot from Jrue Holiday attacking the heavy traffic painted area using the board.
2/3 for me as the Cavs didn't reach our expectations and was blown out by the Charlotte Hornets that are red hot on outside shots.
I was a bit worried about the 76ers earlier in the game but thankfully it covered before the game ends. Cheers to all!

The game have just ended, in favor of the Philadelphia 76ers (123-108) spread well covered and congrats to all who have won!

Knicks have been leading in the 1st and 2nd quarter but the Sixers chased the lead and have dominated them until the end. Harden, Maxey and Embiid alone have a combined score of 78 points which contributed more than half of the Knicks score and Harden almost got a triple double today. Looks like everything goes well in the Sixers now and they're just a game away from the spot of Bulls.

Good for us, the Sixers win by more than 10.5 points.

However, I didn't watch the game, I know that they can win, I focus on my underdog bet, the Orlando Magic against the Pacers. And I thought that I will be 2 out 2 tonight. They've leave all throughout only to collapse on the 4th quarter. They forced OT, but that's it, the Pacers took over.

[YuginKadoya]

Here are the result for the games today,

Philadelphia 76ers VS New York Knicks SCORE 123 - 108 - WIN

RJ Barrett hhad30 points and led the score for the Knicks and Julius Randle had 24 points. but it was not enough on Joel Embiid's double-double performance, and James harden's near triple-double, and got 26 points. I really think that James Harden made a huge impact with the team, so they have won the game, and they haven't had any injury right now.  

Milwaukee Bucks VS Miami Heat SCORE 120 - 119 - WIN

A close match but a win for the Bucks, Bam Adebayo have a double-double performance, Tyler Herro had led the team with  huge score or 30 but it was not enough on Bucks own double-double of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jrue Holiday pretty much the game stat for these two teams are pretty much close enough.

Phoenix Suns VS Portland TrailBlazer SCORE 120 - 90 - WIN

Pretty much the Phoenix Suns have the much percentage on the game Statistics with 50.0% on the Field Goals with TrailBlazer's 38.5% and with 38.9% 3 pointers for the Suns while 35.5% for the TrailBlazers, Free throw has 83.9% for the Suns and 76.0% for the TrailBlazers, pretty much the Suns have got all percentage and without Devin Booker or CP3.
