Washington Wizards @ Milwaukee Bucks: Washington Wizards (+ 16.5) /// 1.73
Last bet won. And this is the second winning bet in a row on NBA! Yes, in my second season of NBA predictions it is a luxury, but I still hope to continue this winning streak to at least 5-6 games. New Orleans didn't let up and played frankly bad on offense. The Pelicans should have scored 106 points, but a slightly inadequate three-point shot from CJ McCollum allowed New Orleans to score 109 points (but even this misunderstanding didn't ruin my prediction). My betting score is MLB 101-93 in favor of successful, NBA 108-132 in favor of unsuccessful, NHL 3-9 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL+NCAAF 3-10 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: Washington Wizards on the road will not lose to Milwaukee Bucks by more than 16 points. Incredible, but it's a fact that shocked me: Washington hasn't lost to Milwaukee by more than 14 points in the last 15 games. That is, the last time the Wizards lost to the Bucks by more than 14 points was in the 2019/2020 season. Just think about that statistic! Milwaukee this season is the weakest version of the roster in the last 4 seasons at least. Doc Rivers is not a great coach either, but ok, players love him. The Bucks have only won 1 game by more than 16 points this season, and that was against Utah Jazz. There is a chance that Giannis will not play. Yes, he missed the last game against Miami and his participation in the game against Washington is questionable. Kyle Kuzma will not play for the Wizards, but that might even help for Washington (as Kyle is statistically playing his worst season of his career on both defense and offense). Bet? Absolutely!

Boston Celtics @ Cleveland Cavaliers: Boston Celtics (- 2.5) /// 2.00
Last bet won. Easy enough, as Washington hasn't lost by more than 12 points during the game. In general, two absolutely equal teams played against each other, but Milwaukee had a higher realization of their shots. The Wizards even won the rebounding battle, and they were no worse than the Bucks on defense (steals and blocks are almost equal). And this is my 3rd winning bet in a row on NBA. My betting score is MLB 101-93 in favor of successful, NBA 109-132 in favor of unsuccessful, NHL 3-9 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL+NCAAF 3-10 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: Boston Celtics on the road will beat Cleveland Cavaliers by 3 points or more. There is a risk that some of the Celtics starting five players will not play. Kristaps Porzingis, Derrick White, Al Horford and Jrue Holiday are questionable. But I don't think it will affect the result, because Boston's leaders Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are in great shape and will definitely play against Cleveland. The Celtics have a current winning streak of 4 games against the Cavaliers (and all of them were won by 3 points or more). Boston has won 7 of the last 10 games against Cleveland by 3 points or more. I tried to understand why the bookies are giving almost equal odds, but I don't see any serious arguments. The Celtics have won 15 of their 19 games this season by 3 points or more. And something is broken in Cleveland's play, as the last two games against Atlanta Hawks were lost without a chance by 11 and 16 points. Well, Boston Celtics can take the lead in the standings in the East for the first time this season. I think that's great motivation! You want to bet? Sure!

Miami Heat @ Boston Celtics: Miami Heat (+ 10.5) /// 1.66
Last bet lost. If Derick White's participation was in doubt, the absence of Jaylen Brown was a surprise to me. But even without those two players, Boston was winning by 12 points in the 4th quarter. And then the Celtics stopped hitting their shots. Maybe they decided the game was already won (as Boston has done so many times this season). Well, and the second reason is that Donovan Mitchell turned on the Spider-Man mode. As a result, Boston lost. Minus the money. My betting score is MLB 101-93 in favor of successful, NBA 109-133 in favor of unsuccessful, NHL 3-9 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL+NCAAF 3-10 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: Miami Heat on the road will not lose to Boston Celtics by more than 10 points. I was waiting for an update on players who won't play in this game, so late prediction today. Both Miami and Boston have back-to-backs. Boston will not have 3 players in their starting five: Jrue Holiday, Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford. Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and Derrick White are also questionable. Moreover, the last two didn't play against Cleveland and I think they won't play against Miami either. Jaylen Brown is ill, and as we know it's unlikely that he can recover in 1 day. So only Jayson Tatum and Derrick White are likely to play against Miami. So in the better case we will see the following Boston starting five: Payton Pritchard, Derrick White, Sam Hauser, Jayson Tatum and Luke Kornet. And the Celtics will play almost without a bench. Miami will be without Nikola Jovic, Jimmy Butler, Josh Richardson and Kel'el Ware, as well as Kevin Love is questionable. Let's see who will play for the Heat in the starting five. With a high probability will play Terry Rozier, Haywood Highsmith, Tyler Herro, Duncan Robinson and Bam Adebayo. Well that's even more solid than starting five in Boston, let's be honest. And the Heat will have solid role players like Jaime Jaquez Jr., Alec Burks, Pelle Larsson and Thomas Bryant available. I think Miami will hold a 10-point handicap with no difficulty. You want to bet? Sure!

Milwaukee Bucks @ Detroit Pistons: Milwaukee Bucks (to win) /// 1.60
Last bet lost. Unfortunately, we're seeing the outright degradation of the NBA. Yes, Jaylen Brown did not play against Cleveland due to an illness, but the next day a miracle happened and he recovered (and played 31 minutes against Miami). Okay, I understand giving Kristaps Porzingis an official rest since the player has only recently returned from injury, but why would you blatantly lie about Jaylen Brown? Two bets lost because of that player! As it is a key player. All in all, I have no desire to continue betting on the NBA. You can bet the opposite of my predictions. I don't care. I have previously announced that I will start betting on MLB from the start of the new season. So the first MLB bet will be on March 27. That means I'll be ending NBA betting before the regular season is even over (and I'm very happy about that). My betting score is MLB 101-93 in favor of successful, NBA 109-134 in favor of unsuccessful, NHL 3-9 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL+NCAAF 3-10 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: Milwaukee Bucks on the road will beat Detroit Pistons. The bet is very simple and obvious, as I don't want to guess the winning handicap of Milwaukee. I have seen many times how 5-7 points come back in the last 2 minutes of a clutch as the team that was winning the whole game by a conditional 8-10 points just lost motivation in the last seconds of the game. Therefore, Milwaukee is the clear favorite in this game. All Bucks players seem to be without injuries (except Khris Middleton). Yes, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Taurean Prince and MarJon Beauchamp are questionable, but all should play against the Pistons. Milwaukee's current winning streak in games against Detroit is 10 games. Milwaukee has also won 6 straight games after a bad start of the season. Well, Detroit is still the same team it was last season. Yes, it plays a little better on offense, but on defense it is the same team of Washington's level. Bet? Sure!

That's pretty much the reason I've quit betting on NBA (IIRC) in 2020 after like 10 years of following and betting on it daily... your tips and great analyses made me come back to follow the league and the last 2 seasons or so were very good
💸both entertaining and sports betting wise... this season I also have no idea what it's going on with the events and I try to always wait for the confirmation of line-ups before placing my bet/-s* I use this site https://www.rotowire.com/basketball/nba-lineups.php ), but it's tough for other community members to see the tips if they're place really close to the starting time of the event... sigh... that's why I didn't post many tips here as lately I focused mostly on live betting... @john_entony my advice is to just take a break, you definitely have insane knowledge of this league and IMO it would be a shame to not put it to use- your chances are very high to be successful if you keep up the good work- everyone has some tough periods in poker/ sports betting etc.(actually not just the NBA, all the other American sports too ); but I might be a bit selfish as I follow your tips and always check here before placing a NBA bet... and you should do what's best for you and your family GLGL all with your tips and have a great end of the year

Thanks, Billy! When I watch MLB games, everything is different: every player is giving their best 100%. Starting pitchers are predetermined for particular games. Every MLB game is a completely loaded stadium! When I watched the regular season, almost every game is Postseason level. In the NBA, half of the players don't play on defense in the regular season, and the other half of the players just don't want to play certain games at all. Ok, I understand when team load management is used. Yes, for injury prone players like Kristaps Porzingis or Joel Embiid it is indeed a solution. But when the decision is made in the last 20 minutes before the game that Jaylen Brown won't play against Cleveland due to “illness”, it's strange at least. But it's even stranger when Jaylen Brown is coming on against Miami the next day. And those games have been somewhere around 30-40% already this season. Anthony Davis, Myles Turner don't play in games where the center role is too important. It would be easier if players would at least write on their social media accounts that, “I won't play in the upcoming game because I want to rest”. The League is simply not reacting to this circus that is going on in the NBA right now. And right now the NBA ratings are dropping, as it is obvious to everyone that players put themselves above the team results. I loved the NBA once upon a time when Kobe Bryant pulled the Lakers into the Postseason with a torn achilles! When players were athletes with stamina and a desire to win. When games had tactics and fighting (and referees allowed fighting). Now every game is a three-point shot contest. Boston in the game against Cleveland stopped hitting 3-point shots in the 4th quarter and the team lost having 12 points handicap. In other words, these are such uninteresting games that after every game I feel like I wasted my time. That's the problem. Again, in MLB I've seen professionals who can play even 2 games in a row in 10 hours. Right now NBA is a show with thrash-talk, pathos and hypocrisy. Not more.That's pretty much the reason I've quit betting on NBA (IIRC) in 2020 after like 10 years of following and betting on it daily... your tips and great analyses made me come back to follow the league and the last 2 seasons or so were very good

Minnesota Timberwolves @ Los Angeles Clippers: Minnesota Timberwolves (to win) /// 1.65
Last bet won. A perfect game from the entire Milwaukee roster! I finally enjoyed a game in which there was a clear winner, as with 56.1% three-point shooting realization hard to lose. A very important win after two straight losses in games featuring Boston. My betting score is MLB 101-93 in favor of successful, NBA 110-134 in favor of unsuccessful, NHL 3-9 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL+NCAAF 3-10 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: Minnesota Timberwolves on the road will beat Los Angeles Clippers. Los Angeles (Lakers too, by the way) is too sweet rival for Minnesota in the last 2-3 seasons, as the Timberwolves have beaten the Clippers in 8 of their last 10 games. Almost Minnesota's entire roster is healthy (only role players Joe Ingles and Rob Dillingham won't play). Kawhi Leonard, Kobe Brown and P.J. Tucker will definitely not play for the Clippers. Kevin Porter Jr. and Terance Mann are also questionable. And yes, Los Angeles has a back-to-back. The Californians' results are great, but Minnesota still looks more balanced. In their last game against the Lakers, the Timberwolves showed the kind of game they played last season. I believed them and hope to see the same in the game against the Clippers. Bet? Sure!

Sacramento Kings @ Memphis Grizzlies: Memphis Grizzlies (- 1.5) /// 1.73
Last bet won. Well, that's strange. This is the second prediction in a row that won too easily! I've suffered in almost every winning prediction this season (not to mention those predictions that I lost), but the last two have certainly been dominated by the teams I've bet on. I'm certainly pleased, but there's still a long way ahead to make my second season of NBA betting a successful one. My betting score is MLB 101-93 in favor of successful, NBA 111-134 in favor of unsuccessful, NHL 3-9 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL+NCAAF 3-10 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: Memphis Grizzlies at home will beat Sacramento Kings by 2 points or more. Memphis has almost no injuries! Only Zach Edey and GG Jackson will not play if we are talking about important rotation players. Only Sacramento's role player Trey Lyles will not play. Memphis is in 2nd place in games played at home. Their current streak at home is 5 straight solid wins (with the last 4 games, which they won by 11 points or more). Jaylen Wells is progressing noticeably and is deservedly in the top-3 in the rookie rankings this season. In general, I really like Memphis' roster depth, which allows them to not overload team leaders Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Desmond Bane. That being said, the Grizzlies bench is awesome on defense. Sacramento? Too unstable. They played great against Houston last game, but won thanks to an abnormal 46.7% three-point shooting realization (they had played 6 straight games before where their three point shooting realization was between 20% and 37.5%). Bet? Sure!
