Houston Rockets @ Oklahoma City Thunder: Houston Rockets (+ 8.5) /// 1.83
Last bet won. San Antonio dominated the whole game! Great team play, great defense, lots of open shots. Portland's defense just couldn't keep up with San Antonio's players. Stephon Castle finally showed the reason why he was selected at the 4th pick of the 1st round. Great dribbling (somewhat similar to Kyrie Irving), great court vision (6 assists and 0 turnovers), and a career high 14 points so far! Well and obvious progress from Julian Champagnie in this season, who hit 4 three-point shots with 50% realization (his season statistic is 38.9%, which is very solid). In fact, these two players were unexpectedly the basis of San Antonio's victory in the game against Portland. My betting score is NBA 102-120 in favor of unsuccessful, MLB 101-93 in favor of successful, NHL 3-6 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL+NCAAF 3-9 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: Houston Rockets on the road will not lose to Oklahoma City Thunder by more than 8 points. Today we bet on the game between the 2nd and 4th teams of the West. Well, if everyone expected from Oklahoma such a similar start of the season, then from Houston hardly anyone expected such a success. Yeah, the Rockets have made themselves respected! And I wouldn't be surprised if they can even beat Oklahoma. Houston's roster is completely without injuries! And I would still understand the bookies' odds if Oklahoma played with an optimal roster, but they are still without their main center (Isaiah Hartenstein) and very valuable role players (Kenrich Williams and Jaylin Williams). Yes, Oklahoma won their first 7 games of the season by 12 points or more, but I can say the same about Houston, who didn't lose by more than 6 points this season. Although the Rockets had much stronger rivals: Dallas Mavericks, New York Knicks, Golden State Warriors, Memphis Grizzlies (where the entire starting five was still without injuries) and 3 games against San Antonio Spurs. Bet? Sure!

Utah Jazz @ San Antonio Spurs: San Antonio Spurs (- 6.5) /// 1.83
Last bet lost. Funny thing is that Oklahoma won only the 2nd quarter and that handicap was enough to win the game against Houston by 19 points! Except for that Rockets failure in the 2nd quarter, I'd write that the game was equal. This is the NBA and such illogical games happen often. I'm sure we can deal with it! My betting score is NBA 102-121 in favor of unsuccessful, MLB 101-93 in favor of successful, NHL 3-6 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL+NCAAF 3-9 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: San Antonio Spurs at home will beat Utah Jazz by 7 points or more. Utah Jazz is similar to last season's Detroit. It seems like they have talented players, but it's hard to call Utah's game a team effort. This is definitely the weakest Utah Jazz in the last 10 years, maybe more! The Jazz have lost 6 of their 8 games this season by 8 points or more. And in their last game they had a 23 point loss to Doc Rivers' Milwaukee. San Antonio has already beaten home Utah by 18 points this season. The Spurs were very solid in their last home game against Portland (a 13-point win, a game we were betting on), and a little earlier against Minnesota Timberwolves (a 10-point win). I expect San Antonio will win by 8-15 points. Bet? Sure!

New York Knicks @ Indiana Pacers: New York Knicks (- 1.5) /// 1.75
Last bet lost. Chris Paul, Keldon Johnson and Julian Champagnie failed the game, hitting a combined only 2 three-point shots on 18 attempts. Well and a 20 team turnovers is practically a season high for San Antonio. It's hard to beat even Utah with such a bad performance. My betting score is NBA 102-122 in favor of unsuccessful, MLB 101-93 in favor of successful, NHL 3-6 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL+NCAAF 3-9 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: New York Knicks on the road will beat Indiana Pacers by 2 points or more. Indiana has too serious injury problems: Aaron Nesmith, James Wiseman, Isaiah Jackson will definitely not play against New York, and participation of Obi Toppin, Andrew Nembhard and T.J. McConnell is questionable (with a very high probability that some of these three players will not play). The Knicks have their entire starting five without injuries and were very confidently destroyed Milwaukee by 22 points in their last game. New York and Indiana have already played against each other this season and in that game the Knicks destroyed a fully healthy Indiana by 25 points (only James Wiseman didn't play). Indiana also has a problem with their leader Tyrese Haliburton, who has been playing much worse than last season. What's the explanation? It's hard to say, but so far he is shooting his three-point shots with 25.4% realization and hitting free throws with 75% realization. Yes, he's still a very strong ballhandler, but that's not enough to be Indiana's leader and expect on successful season. Bet? Sure!

Sacramento Kings @ San Antonio Spurs: Sacramento Kings (- 1.5) /// 1.85
Last bet lost. 14 more three-point shots! What victory can we talk about when Bennedict Mathurin hits 7 three point shots on 9 attempts, Myles Turner hits 5 three point shots on 8 attempts and Tyrese Haliburton hits 4 three point shots on 10 attempts? The Knicks played really well! The prediction was absolutely perfect! But for the first time in Indiana history two players scored at least 35 points each! And yes, Bennedict Mathurin's 38 points is his career high! The situation of my predictions repeated as it already happened last season. I'm really tired of it, when good predictions lose just because one of the players of the team (against whom I bet) switches on the “hero” mode or one of the key players of the team (on whom I bet) suddenly decides not to play. All in all, I've made the decision that betting on the NBA is no longer a priority. The top priority now is MLB betting! That means I will start betting on baseball starting March 28th. My betting score is MLB 101-93 in favor of successful, NBA 102-123 in favor of unsuccessful, NHL 3-6 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL+NCAAF 3-9 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: Sacramento Kings on the road will beat San Antonio Spurs by 2 points or more. Sacramento's current roster after the addition of DeMar DeRozan is the strongest in recent years! Yes, San Antonio has gotten stronger too, but I still have that shame in the last game against Utah in front of my eyes. It was so bad that I don't even know how the Spurs can win the upcoming game against the Kings. Last season Sacramento completed the sweep 3-0, and the season before they won the series against San Antonio 3-1 in the regular season. But again in recent games Chris Paul has stopped hitting his three-point shots (only 1 from 10 in the last 2 games), Harrison Barnes has made 0 defensive actions in the last 4 games, while not helped much on offense either. Victor Wembanyama is a great defender, but is very unstable on offense (and his three-point shooting realization has dropped to 28.2% this season). San Antonio is very well coached tactically, but the young players are very unstable and the veterans can no longer play at a high level. That's why we see San Antonio beat Minnesota and then lose to Utah. This should be an easy win for the Kings if they keep the team's three-point shooting at least at 33-35%. You want to bet? Sure!

Miami Heat @ Detroit Pistons: Miami Heat (- 2.5) /// 2.00
Last bet lost. I felt like I watched the Indiana Pacers' last game against New York Knicks again. Only this time Sacramento completely failed on offense (26.3% realization of three-point shots). And San Antonio's Victor Wembanyama played his best game of the season: 34 points and, accordingly, season high! My betting score is MLB 101-93 in favor of successful, NBA 102-124 in favor of unsuccessful, NHL 3-6 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL+NCAAF 3-9 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: Miami Heat on the road will beat Detroit Pistons by 3 points or more. The bookies have decided Detroit is the new contender. That's the only way I can explain these wild odds. Yeah, I'd understand if Miami had an away back-to-back and half of their roster was injured. But only Jimmy Butler will not play, without whom the Heat were able to win on the road against Minnesota in the last game. Ausar Thompson, Bobi Klintman will definitely not play for Detroit and the participation of Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart is questionable. A knee injury is always a risk of recurrence, so Jalen Duren is more likely will not play. Of the last 10 games against each other Miami has beaten Detroit by 3 points or more in 8 of them. Bet? Sure!
