Milwaukee Bucks @ Brooklyn Nets: Milwaukee Bucks (- 4) /// 1.83
Last bet lost. A well-deserved win for Oklahoma, who showed very high quality basketball. Minnesota had a lot of turnovers. It's hard to expect to win when you make 24 turnovers. Well, Oklahoma's great offensive play allowed them to win so large. But the odds were solid and the chances were somewhere equal, so I don't regret betting on the Timberwolves. Total score of my bets: NBA 26-31 in favor of unsuccessful, MLB 30-27 in favor of successful, NFL+NCAAF 3-7 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: Milwaukee will beat Brooklyn by 4 points or more. Brooklyn's back-to-back! And the road game against Detroit was not easy at all. Mikal Bridges played 40 minutes, Spencer Dinwiddie played 34 minutes. And now they host prime Milwaukee, who have an 8-2 record in their last 10 games! Lillard is in great shape. And it feels like Damian has already fully adapted to the new team's tactics. Milwaukee have only Jae Crowder injured, and Giannis is questionable. But, judging by the bookmakers' odds, Antetokounmpo is more likely to play than not. Brooklyn still have Ben Simmons and Lonnie Walker IV injured. But even without them Brooklyn has an excellent balanced roster. But then again, Brooklyn's back-to-back will be feeling it in the game against Milwaukee. Bet? Sure!

Indiana Pacers @ Chicago Bulls: Chicago Bulls (to win) /// 2.00
Last bet won. Milwaukee destroyed Brooklyn's reserve lineup by 22 points! Jacque Vaughn - this man is the main sponsor of my winning bet. Yes, sure, Brooklyn had a back-to-back with Milwaukee, but to so blatantly involve load management? Well I laughed for two minutes when I realized during the game that Brooklyn would no longer let Mikal Bridges, Cam Thomas, Dayron Sharpe and Royce O'Neale on the basketball court for the 3rd and 4th quarters. I even watched Jacque Vaughn's post-game press conference afterward and laughed out loud when he tried to explain his decision. Come on, Brooklyn is not the Clippers, where key players are over 32 years old! Why are you, as a head coach, making such a circus? Let's be honest it's not fair play! Anyway, if the NBA doesn't punish Brooklyn for blatant load management, then remember for the future: other teams will do the same. And then the back-to-backs will guarantee that in one game out of two the reserve will play, not the main roster. Maybe we should forbid back-to-backs and plan the calendar of games without them? The question is open and we'll see if Brooklyn gets punished. The total score of my bets: NBA 27-31 in favor of the unsuccessful, MLB 30-27 in favor of the successful, NFL+NCAAF 3-7 in favor of the unsuccessful.
New bet: Chicago will beat Indiana. A month ago, I would have bet on Indiana without a doubt. But now Chicago is in incredible shape! And Indiana? They played great, by the way, against the Rockets, but..... that's Indiana. The Pacers can't be stable. But Chicago, even without Vucevic and LaVine, beat Atlanta. And Andre Drummond showed that he can easily substitute Vucevic. Yes, Chicago doesn't have a back-up center now (or rather, they do, and it's Adama Sanogo, but he played 0 seconds in the NBA, so Chicago doesn't have a back-up center). Is that a problem? Andre Drummond was able to convince me in the Hawks game that it's not a problem (39 minutes, 24 points, 25 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks!). LaVine not playing at all has been a huge benefit to Chicago, oddly enough. So I don't see much of a problem if Nikola Vucevic doesn't play. What about Indiana? The starting small forward, Bruce Brown, will not play. This basketball player is really great on defense (steals, rebounds, personal defense - at the highest level). And don't let his 11.6 point average on the season bother you. This player proved his worth in a championship season for Denver. I mean, Bruce Brown not playing is a serious loss for Indiana. Yes, of course, there is someone to substitute him, but it won't be an equal substitution in terms of defense. In the last 10 games between Chicago and Indiana the score is 6-4 in favor of the Bulls. Chicago is playing at home. And the bookies are wrong again, giving odds of 2.00 on Chicago's victory! Shall we bet? Sure!

Heat vs Warriors (-2.5 Warriors) 1.8
The Miami Heat are more than capable of pulling off the upset here, and they've been sharp lately with the return of Bam and Herro. However, the Heat have Butler, Robinson, Lowry, Richardson, and Martin on their injury list as questionable or doubtful. It's hard to back a team when you have no idea if half the roster will play. The Golden State Warriors have quietly won 5 of their last 6 games, and their offense can bury teams at home if those outside shots are falling.

Memphis Grizzlies vs Denver Nuggets (Memphis Grizzlies +7.5) 1.9
The Denver Nuggets are great on their home court, where they're 12-2 SU, and they have the edge here when you consider they've beaten the Grizzlies in 4 of the last 5 meetings. With that said, the Grizzlies have been a different team since the return of Ja, and I'm not eager to step in front of them as long as it continues. Ja has given the Grizzlies a pep in their step, and he's not only playing at a high level, but he's elevated the play around him as everybody else goes back into their role. The Grizz have won four straight and covered those games as well.

New York Knicks @ Orlando Magic: Orlando Magic (- 1.5) /// 1.85
Last bet lost. Chicago came back from (-25) to lose by 16 points afterward. Unique play! It's like flashbacks from Houston's recent game with Atlanta. What could you hope for with a three-point shooting percentage of 25.9% and a two-point shooting percentage of 47.1%? Indiana made 12 more three-point shots and won the game because of it. Tyrese Haliburton played an incredible game! But that's okay, let's move on, the odds were "2.00" and the game would have turned out differently if Chicago had hit more of their three-point shots. My betting totals are NBA 27-32 in favor of the unsuccessful, MLB 30-27 in favor of the successful, NFL+NCAAF 3-7 in favor of the unsuccessful.
New bet: Orlando will beat the New York Knicks by 2 points or more. Strange to see the odds tied in this game. Orlando is playing very strong at home this season! Yes, they lost their last two games to Miami and Philadelphia. But they are the 3rd and 4th teams in the East right now! New York, with all my respect to this team, is only 7th. And I can't say that the Knicks are beating everyone on the road. In fact, they've only beaten the middles and outsiders on the road this season. Orlando right now is top 5 in the East! And on their home field they won 11 games and lost only 4. What's the injury report? New York has a serious problem with their centers! Both Mitchell Robinson and Jericho Sims are 100% out. Well, Mitchell Robinson's season is officially over. And the Knicks need to do something in the transfer market if they plan on making the Playoffs. Because right now, New York has only 1 nominal center. It's Isaiah Hartenstein. Yeah... he has changed 5 teams over 5 seasons. He was selected in the 2017 draft in the 2nd round with the 43rd pick. That's all you need to know about his potential. He has never been a starting center anywhere, ever. And today, he should play with almost no back-up center. Oh yeah, there's also 38 year old Taj Gibson. But that's not an NBA-level player anymore. What's Orlando's injury situation? The rather useful Joe Ingles and starting PG Markelle Fultz (but he hasn't played in a long time) won't play. Especially since Orlando has enough ballhandlers. Gary Harris and Jonathan Isaac are also questionable. I really hope that at least Gary Harris will play against the Knicks, as the player is very important for Orlando and I think the bookies realize that too and therefore are leveling the odds due to his possible absence. Gary Harris is essentially Orlando's 6th player. But New York, again, has much bigger problems with their centers. The odds, as always, are very juicy - 1.85. You wanna bet? Sure!

The hosts played really really well and tbh the Spurs were lucky to trail 'only' 2-0 at half-time... it ended 4-2 but Brighton had an unreal 4-0 lead, so the visitors had no chance to get a positive result here and IMO they didn't even play that bad- Brighton was just too good this game...
I'll go for a bet from Liga portugal for today:
FC Porto - Chaves FC Porto AH(-1.5)@ 1.50 on Unibet
One of the best teams in the league vs the last place- should be an easy W for the hosts here... I also like 3 games from Serie A: Napoli (vs. Monza), (Genoa vs.) Inter, Lazio (vs. Frosinone); but I'll leave this events for some live betting as my bets from Serie A weren't that good so far this season...GLGL all with your bets!

Philadelphia 76ers @ Chicago Bulls: Philadelphia 76ers (to win) /// 2.10
Last bet won. Orlando didn't have Gary Harris and Jonathan Isaac (their participation before the game was questionable) and to my surprise, Wendell Carter Jr. didn't play. He is the Magic's starting five center. That's why the bookies before the game gave the Knicks and Orlando equal chances to win. Nevertheless, we saw a fight in the first quarter, and Knicks even won this quarter by 3 points thanks to Julius Randle's confident play. But, as has happened so many times this season, Orlando took control of the game in the second quarter and never let go of the win until the final whistle. I didn't see anything new for me, as Orlando plays powerfully at home and takes out their opponents this season. A fully deserved victory for Orlando and a sure win according to my prediction! The total score of my bets: NBA 28-32 in favor of unsuccessful, MLB 30-27 in favor of successful, NFL+NCAAF 3-7 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: Philadelphia will beat Chicago. Once again, I disagree with the bookies. Yes, the 76ers have a back-to-back, and yes Joel Embiid and Nicolas Batum will not play. And yes, Tyrese Maxey played 41 minutes against the Rockets. But that's nothing compared to the fact that Chicago doesn't have a back-up center. The game against Indiana showed that Chicago without Vucevic is like a rider without a head. Yes, the Bulls will struggle, but come on, this is Philadelphia! They know how to beat serious opponents without centers! They've already beaten Orlando and Houston without Joel Embiid. These are the teams that are playing great at home this season! Tyrese Maxey is only 23 years old. I'm sure he will have no problem recovering for the Chicago game. And by the way, the head-to-head stats are in favor of the 76ers, as they have won 7 of their last 10 games against Chicago. And the bookies are giving us odds of 2.10? It's a New Year's gift, no other way. Should we bet? Sure!

Philadelphia 76ers vs Chicago Bulls (-1.5 Chicago Bulls) 1.95
The Philadelphia 76ers are on the end of a back to back, and this could be a tough spot if they're still without their best player in Joel Embiid. The Chicago Bulls have the rest advantage, they're at home, and they beat the 76ers a couple of weeks ago despite being 10.5 point underdogs. The Bulls are playing their best ball of the season, and they've covered 7 of their last 10 games. This has a lot to do with the status of Embiid,
