I got the same bet because I can't bet against the Lakers again after their game against the Pelicans. I avoided the handicap because the bet can quickly lose if they suddenly can't hit more than half of their shots, similar to the Suns game a few days ago. And as much as I like the Pacers to win because of their impressive underdog run, they probably won't have an easy time running their explosive offense against this Lakers team that is improving on the defensive end.

Though the game is not yet over but it seems the Lakers is too much for the Pacers. Davis dominating the paint causing Myles Turner to be in foul trouble is huge since no one in the Pacers bench could guard Davis better than Turner I think.

Lebron is again in beast in the third quarter as he is fresh since he has not played so many minutes in the first half due to foul trouble so congrats in advance kabayan for that ML bet.

Yeah, I wasn't able to bet on this game, but in any case I will go with the Pacers here.

So let's see how it goes, another 12 minutes for Pacer to turn the game around. But it seems that the Lakers is really poised to get this one, Lebron and his team are putting a good showing.

Davis is making it very hard for the Pacers to get inside. Lakers still leading 92-84.

EDIT: 5 straight points by the Pacers, cutting the lead to 3, Obi's 3 and then a steal for a layup.

I remembered a recent funny story related to  Pacers.

On November 22, about 3 weeks ago, they played Atlanta and I bet that the teams would score less than 230 or 240 points. Something like this. Since I have nights during NBA matches, I usually find out about the results in the morning. Imagine my disappointment when in the morning I saw that these teams broke some league record and scored more than 300 points between them

[morvillz7z]

∆ J. Randle 20+ points / J. Randle 8+ rebounds @1.97 ∆  won

Randle saved my ticket with garbage time bucket vs. Boston so i'm returning the favor and sticking with him.

Knicks say Mitchell Robinson will have left ankle surgery this week and will be re-evaluated in 8-10 weeks.

Knicks are thin upfront and Hartenstein will be the one to get increased minutes/workload, but i like the spot for Randle when Robinson is not playing. Randle had a double-double with 10 boards and 20 points in the first meeting between these two teams just ten days ago. I am kind of hoping for a similar output today.

Congratulations! You picked well and won three games today. I am not feeling well and I only managed one bet on Denver Nuggets.

Jamal Murray played. And thankfully it was the right decision because he led his team in scoring in what I assumed would be an easy win. But Atlanta thrilled its home fans when the match became closer. After a 15 point lead, it was trimmed down to 4, courtesy of two threes from Bogdanovich within a minute. That was almost able to alter the outcome of the match. It was a disheartening night for Bogdan Bogdanovich who scored 40.

^^ Didn't watch the game though, but I was monitoring the score and it seems that the game was close between the Nuggets and the Hawks.

But I never doubted that they will win this game with the handicap of at least -1.5. That was the bet that I put since yesterday. I thought that there were games but it seems that they have rested about the tournament that the Lakers won. I got it at 1.86, so it was a good bet with the Nuggets here.

[Natalim]

So after a day of break, the NBA regular season will resume tomorrow.

I'm thinking of selecting few games only, just the quality games I feel I'm confident with my pick.
So, here are my early leans.

-2.5 Magic over the Cavaliers.
(Magic is 10-2 at home, they should win and cover the spread)

-11.5 Sixers over Washington Wizards
(Last time Wizards covered, this time around they'll not be lucky)

-2.5 Denver over Hawks
(Hawks just a bad team at home with 3-6 record, Denver should win)

-4.5 Kings over Brooklyn
(I just like the home team here)

4-4, what a lucky you had mate.

Everything was just perfect as the winners were in control of the game in most of the quarters.

I didn't know Murray was already back, and in his first game, he already lead his team to a big win with 29 points.
He doesn look like he wasn't coming from an injury as he still had the same confidence.

Now, Nuggets back to a complete healthy line up.

[danherbias07]

Detroit Pistons - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers (-4.5)
Orlando Magic - Cleveland Cavaliers - Orlando Magic (-1.5)
Charlotte Hornets - Miami Heat - Miami Heat (-1.5)
Atlanta Hawks - Denver Nuggets - Denver Nuggets (-1.5)
Memphis Grizzlies - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks (-1.5)

Perfect! Finally another good win today.

That Miami Heat win scared me a bit. They only won by 2 points and luckily I was not greedy enough to add more on the spreads. Also, thank you @Maslate for the tips. We may not have the same bets on other games but the other two we definitely hit it. 
I think this is the first I hit this many team wins in one day and I kind of love the feeling of perfecting it even though it's rare. Most of the favorites won their respective games, if I am right it is just the Timberwolves who were upset. Correct me if I am wrong.

Later 5 games.
Mavericks, Cavaliers, Bulls, Nuggets, Clippers, and Kings. These teams are playing back-to-back games so be sure to be careful with your picks.

First pick.
Boston Celtics - Cleveland Cavaliers - Boston Celtics (-8.5) I didn't max it out to -10.5 although I am not in doubt that the Celtics will win this one. Just taking the safer pick.
Second pick.
Chicago Bulls - Denver Nuggets - Denver Nuggets (-5.5) Well, both are playing back-to-back but Nuggets has the firepower to win. Also, the win from their first road game could give a lingering confidence to the team. Their bench will probably be playing with lots of energy.
Third pick.
Los Angeles Clippers - Sacramento Kings - Los Angeles Clippers (-1.5) This team even if they play back-to-back has no problem. They have so many stars that can heat up anytime and contribute.

Good luck everyone.

Boston x Cleveland - It's hard to do a huge handicap to Boston here, Cleveland played incredibly strong these past few weeks. Though I'm going to take Celtics on this one, but I'll put myself safer than -8.5, maybe -3.5 or -4.5, I'll try to bet on the live game so the odds are realistic.

Chicago x Denver - I'm too concerned with Jamal's performance since he came back, it seems like it was not the play I used to see him play with Denver also Nikola's stats from the past 3 games are getting low. Chicago on the otherhand made a close call with Bucks earlier today, DeRozan putting 41 points on the board. I'll probably have Chicago +5.5

Clippers x Sacramento - I'll give this for Sacramento all day.

Thank you. Sometimes when you on a hot streak it's nice to share some picks,  so I'm posting my picks for tomorrow again.

-10 Boston (They are 10-0 at home, 7-3 ATS, while Cavaliers are on a back to back game. All the advantage is on the Boston)

-7.5 Denver (Both teams are on a back to back game, so let's go back to 1. Since Denver is the better team, I'm choosing them)

LAL vs DAL and GSW vs SUNS.. These games could be a close ones, it's hard to choose that way, so I'll pass.

[Baofeng]

I also hit a good 4 game parlay last night @6.90.



It's a local gambling site though if you will have to notice at the top.

It's Nuggets, Kings and Rockets by handicap and then I have Philly by ML (this is the start of the parlay, I just want to make sure that I will have a good win in the beginning). And I think the majority has a good win as well, congrats to everyone.

But for tonight's game, it's unpredictable as it looks like a even match on paper. Although in the Mavs vs Lakers, superstars of the respected team might not play and that's why the Lakers are the favorite so I'm taking them with handicap -1.5 (the line though has move to -2.5 as of this writing).

Best of luck to everyone.

[wheelz1200]

Not taking too many games except for the Warriors to win to fight with KD sitting.  I took a lot of prop bets

M moody over 7.5 points
Luka over 51.5 points/asst/reb
Derozen over 24.5 points.
Sabonis over 12.5 boards
Jarret Allen over 8.5 boards (evan mobley is out)

Looking at some more but that's the start.

The handicap is all over the place, earlier it was -4.5, and now it's down to -1.5 after I grabbed the ML(1.59) at the bad time.



Kyrie is out for the Mavs, but they still have Luka, so this could still be close. On a positive note, Lebron and AD are now confirmed for the Lakers, so they should have the upper hand here.

Edit: What a close finish, the Lakers got my hopes up in the end. 😅

[xLays]

I pick 10.5+ points for Derick Lively II since he averaged 30 minutes per game. I pick Sam Hauser for 7.5+ points, eventhough he only scored 1 point in their last game against the Knicks. The  Celtics just really want Kristaps to get revenge against his old team. Sam average 10+ point before that game.  Coby White consistently records 5+ assists, except in the last game. I believe Drew Eubanks will play more minutes today.

Here's my parlay pick for today's games.

I'm going with the long road, here, the Dallas Mavericks are no walkover, not even without having Kyrie on the court, they've got Dante Exum, who been doing impressively and and Dereck Lively is also doing a great job on the board, so I can see them giving the Lakers a run for their money, so it's the Dallas Mavericks ML @ 2.34 for me.

Looking good so far, they were able to control on the first half but let's see if they could continue that. On the Lakers side, Davis were able to continue his impressive game during the in season championship, but his teammates aren't so on point, but there's this full 2nd half, let's see what kind of adjustment they'll make to come back in the game.

Yes, I would agree that it's been a good game so far Dallas Mavericks, but you know that the Lakers are not going to go away just like that, and they've outscored and outplayed, and as I was typing this post, Anthony Davis just scored a buzzer beating 3-pointer to give Lakers the lead as they about to head into the 4th Quarter, we are all in for an interesting 4th Quarter imo.

Now, we got a game. Lakers are currently leading but just a slim margin. We know that basketball is a game of run, so I think now it's a 50-50 game now. I'm watching the Celtics vs Cavaliers now, but as soon as the game is over, I'll shift my focus on the LA vs Mavericks game.

[Maslate]

-10 Boston (They are 10-0 at home, 7-3 ATS, while Cavaliers are on a back to back game. All the advantage is on the Boston)

-7.5 Denver (Both teams are on a back to back game, so let's go back to 1. Since Denver is the better team, I'm choosing them)

LAL vs DAL and GSW vs SUNS.. These games could be a close ones, it's hard to choose that way, so I'll pass.

Just a break even day, won on the Denver bet but was short on the Boston bet.

Currently watching the game now, enjoy the Warriors vs Phoenix game,  and I think the Warriors will take the win.
It's the undermanned Phoenix, Lakers should be able to take advantage on it. Let's just hope this game are not gonna go to OT as Warriors seemed to have trouble in OT games ( speaking of  2 L from OKC)

It was a great ending but the Suns were able to hold on to beat the Warriors. Booker definitely hit the over with a 32 point night and he held on to the game down the stretch as Durant looked on from the bench. Curry did get a chance to tie it at the end with a quick shot off the inbounds but he wasn’t able to pull off a miracle.

Warriors are becoming an awful team after every game these days, they can't keep any kind of lead, huge or marginal and they also can't get from deficit to any game either, Draymond Green for is becoming more of a burden to the team and that's not help matters in any way he plays a couple of good game even though they lose game and suddenly becomes a menace in the next one, should the Warriors be fortunate enough to make the playoffs, Draymond is definitely one of the players that'll get them eliminated early, and more so, the scoring responsibility has almost become a sole responsibility for Steph Curry, and he's not getting any scoring help, and that is majorly because Steve Kerr has failed to trust the rookies enough with large playing minutes, there is not other player on the Warriors roster that is averaging up 17 points per game on the season, I don't know how sustainable that is, but the only thing I'm certain about is that it can't get them another championship title.
