My pick for tonight.

New Orleans Pelicans(-3,5) vs Golden State Warriors = First Quarter 1,83 Odds


Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Green, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson will not play tonight.
I think it will be an easy game for New Orleans.

Good luck guys.

I'm actually very curious to know as to when the news of Golden State Warriors resting 4 of their starters broke out ? was before the lines were made of after, because I know the type drastic effect it would have on the early bettors, if the news didn't get out before the lines were made, I didn't pay any form of attention to their lines when it opened.

That said, I think the Warriors second unit might are actually still decent enough, I understand that the Pelicans would be too much to handle for them, but I think -3.5 for the first quarter is a very trick bet, but I wish you good luck, still!

I’m seeing a spread of -10.5 for the Pelicans at the moment. I wouldn’t touch that. I think at Pelicans-3.5 you probably have a good bet though. It is definitely a gamble for only a quarter.

I’m curious how Giannis is going to do against the new twin towers in Minnesota. Betting the Bucks to win has been the way to go so far this year..

[danherbias07]

Luka gave away the last three-point shot just to avoid a 4 point play. 
My -3.5 for the Mavs could've hit but thanks to that it's a loss. The other bet for Miami Heat is also an L.
I hate to say it but I am on a losing streak when it comes to my early bets.

But I won't stop. Because despite that, I had been winning most of my live bets. Just like these ones.

Portland Trail Blazers surprised me with a win. I was watching another game when I took that bet. IIRC, it was 3.80 for an ML.

And you are right, the 2nd unit of GSW manage to have that lead in the first quarter,

Though the Pelicans took the big rally in the 2nd quarter and stay that comfortable lead till the game ends, Ingram is back
and he did not let the fans not to recognize him with his productions. The full squad of NOP is very competitive with them
all together with a healthy player have a good chance to make a better season ahead.

You were right and I lost the bet.

I knew New Orleans would win, but I thought they would win in the first quarter.
I will focus on the games tonight, there are good games for tonight.

Quarter betting is pretty hard, it's never clear how the teams will start the game, it's kind of like a lottery. You see, New Orleans ended up losing only the first quarter, but then they were great in the second. The Lakers lost to the Utah at home, and the Utah really looked better, they were faster and more disciplined. Overall, Laker was doing well offensively, with a good hit percentage, but terrible defense.

I wish I would have been wrong, at the very least for the sake of your bet, The Warriors have always had a very decent second unit, and even if you look at the numbers of them that they let go this season speaking of Damion Lee and GP II, you'll understand the level of competition amongst the second unit as well. But you win some, you lose some, such is gambling.

I like a couple of match up available for today too, but I'm waiting closer to the end of the evening before decision making.

[Yamifoud]

Blazers vs Suns going to have a rematch.

Suns is -10 but they lose on their game yesterday, so I think I again will back the Blazers ML, who knows, they'll strike two in a row. I know it's hard to win but looking at the spread now, Blazers spread is very attractive and of course ML as well.

Also, Pelicans vs Hawks, I think that one is really good, of course I like the home team.

[Baofeng]

Cavs as well is a big surprised this season so I will go with them tonight against the struggling Pistons.

So on top of the East is the Bucks, but it seems that the Cavs are just ride behind. Although there are reports that Garland and Mitchell might be injured, but I think both of the mare going to play so -5.5 for them against the Pistons. Looking also at the Bucks as well, -3.5 is not that bad and maybe Giannis with another monster game.

I'm actually going the other way on the Bucks game.  Timberwolves are getting points at home and they match up well defensively against giannis and crew.  Taking Minnesota here.  Also taking the Warriors getting 11 points.  I can't see them losing in a blow out.  I know it's a 2nd night of a back to back but double digits might be too much here.

Good luck everyone!

Cavs easily covered the handicap against Detroit, 112-88,

Same with Milwaukee, they have a huge win against the Wolves, and again, plenty to spare as it ended 115-102. Jrue Holiday has a monster game same with Giannis. The Wolves are lead by KAT and Anthony Edwards, but only Jaylen Noell score in double figures.

I will take the live betting for this one again. 
Will wait for the Phoenix Suns to get some lead and take the Blazers with a big handicap. I just hope it happens early.

Also, Pelicans vs Hawks, I think that one is really good, of course I like the home team.

I like the Pelicans more in this bout. Brandon Ingram is back and I think one game should be enough to get him going again.
They may be exhausted but their roster is deep enough to match the Hawks.
I don't see any injury reports so I am guessing they will use them even after playing with the Warriors. Well, they are young.
Pelicans ML

Brooklyn Nets are still superdogs even without Kyrie. The Hornets are filled with injuries.
I'll take it. Nets -4.5.

That was so easy because the Cavaliers improve a lot this season, they win this game even without Mitchell, that's something to watch out for in the playoffs because they will improve more. The wolves are good but Bucks have been consistently winning games this season, still undefeated after that game, so it's not a good idea not to back them every time they play.

Giannis with triple double contribution, that's what a complete player is.

New York Knicks vs Boston Celtics

Both teams are coming off a win in their last game, but I believe the Celtics are the one who will have a streak in here. Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum are hot against the Bulls and that could spill over in Madison Square Garden. I am sure Brunson and Barrett can give them problems, but Brown and Tatum are a better pair against these two.

Milwaukee Bucks vs Oklahoma City Thunder

I am riding the winning streak of the Milwaukee Bucks in here. They seemed to be unbeatable this season, especially from a team coming from the east. Giannis is very dominating and seemed to be peaking this season. This guy is unstoppable right now.

[stadus]

^It's all Jamal Murray in the 4th quarter. I didn't expect that, I thought the Nuggets are still conducting restricted minutes for him. Surprisingly, it went well for him and he got so hot he even made a dunk against two defenders. I bet that will be in the top 10 of the week.

1/2.

GSW. Erkk.
I don't know what is happening but this ain't the Warriors that we knew. 3rd quarter is the time when they mostly dominate every game but the Orlando Magic won today. Klay could've passed it one more to Jerome (iirc) at the right corner but he decided to shoot it. Well, it will be a different story if it went in.

Yeah, as I have been speculating, and it's good that I have skip the Warriors game, that they have problems getting a win now. Although their big 4 score huge numbers specially Curry, Not enough, now we can see how the second unit last year was better as compare to their line up. Kuminga ang Moody is a no show. And Klay has been playing good in this game and the most important shot, he missed it.

Good for you skipping the warriors' game. It was unexpected, like the post above you said,

Warriors mostly dominated the 2nd half and they are really good at maintaining their leads, but both the game
against Heat and Magic, they messed it up in the last few minutes.

But Kudos to the Magic, they really play hard today which gave them the win against the defending champ.

Warriors suddenly belong to the teams that are struggling now, the Lakers, Warriors, and Nets, they are supposed to be the favorites but look at where they are now. For the Warriors, I know they can solve this problem and if they will continue to struggle, that will only make their odds better.

As of now, they are still 4.00 the top favorite to win in the West.

Yes, the Warriors are clearly struggling and that is evident even if Curry will take some heavy load just to carry the team, but they're somehow different now because they are just a team that are mostly consisted by an offensive player. Letting GP2 and Porter go did made the team more vulnerable as they are now much weaker in defense. That might be the reason why the Warriors now suffered five straight losses. 

[wheelz1200]

Whew barely escaped with the Warriors covering last night.  Today I'm taking the Timberwolves-8.5 at home.  And I'm also taking the Nets-4.  They won pretty big last night hopefully they can carry that through to tonight. .

Yup, the Cavaliers kinda overdid their performance today that is why the Detroit Pistons was lost by a 24-point difference. Jarrett Allen's hands are getting hotter every game! But man, the Milwaukee Bucks are different, and they are now 8-0. Giannis made a triple double again and leave KAT and Edwards in awe.

Next game is against the OKC and I'm riding them again while they're still hot from getting win streaks. Bucks -8 @ 1.91 .. GL mates!

You already your bet on the Nets, they won by 4 points, so your bet covered. Also, about the wolves, they are having a good lead already, so most likely they will win and cover the spread. Congratulations to you mate in advance, perfect day.

Good picks both handicap has been covered by both Nets and Wolves, he is lucky because Nets win by 4 points
enough to cover the handicap.

With the Wolves, yeah it's a comfortable lead which secure your win for both games,
another winning weekend with a lot of beers for you..
Congrats!

[Japinat]

Do we have an early pick here?

Jazz vs Clippers, I think it's a good game, last game of the Jazz they beat the Lakers, so it should be a nice game against the Clippers because this team is a good team, better than the Lakers. Clippers' loss to Cleveland last game, they might bounce back but I know the Jazz would give them a tough game.

My pick on this game is Jazz + points. How about yours?

Yeah, I will also go with +4.5 with Jazz against Clippers. Although we think that Jazz should be tanking this season, it's not, seems to be the team has settled down a bit already with Clarkson becoming their prime scorer.


Also with the Lakers vs Cavs, -2.5 to the Cavs, if you are willing to take the risk, maybe we can go as high as -3.5. Mitchell is averaging just over 30 ppg, and then we have Garland and Levert.

[jakelyson]

This is my bet for today



Los Angeles Laker vs Cleveland Cavaliers

Every time I see the Lakers against a good outside shooting team, I know they are in trouble. I am betting on the Cavaliers this time to beat Lebron and the Lakers. The Cavs always win this season when they are favorites, I am hoping they will keep that record pristine.

Los Angeles Clippers vs Utah Jazz

The Utah Jazz is an underdog this season 8 times, and they were able to win 6 of those times. I am betting that they could extend that probability against the Clippers today. The Clippers though are coming from a 3-winning streak, and they are trying to extend it in the Crypto.com arena. The Utah Jazz is supposed to be tanking this year but surprisingly, they are winning a lot. Maybe because they are very unpredictable this year. I am banking that they can continue to be on the top of the West next to the Suns.
