Ruh-roh! Kuzma is actually having a decent game and Hawks underperforming?

There is one more game left: Warriors vs. Grizzlies.

I will go Warriors -6 and U 228.5.
After that game, the Lakers and Warriors now have something in common with choking on 20 point leads.

For tonight,

The Lakers are huge favourites against the Cavs. But the Cavs have the better record and have just beat the Clippers, Hawks and Nuggets. Lakers are reeling as James has already started having issues with his ankle injury and otherwise the team isn't clicking together well. I think Cavs are worth a small bet here at 3.7, especially as James is not confirmed to be playing.

Cavs > Lakers

Clippers are underdogs against the Blazers. I don't think Blazers are very consistent and they lost their last game against the Clippers.

Clippers > Blazers

Otherwise, maybe a couple more bets..

Mavericks and Nuggets should be interesting with key injuries on both sides. It isn't clear who will end up playing, but I think Mavericks have the stronger team and Nuggets are very vulnerable without Jokic.

Mavericks > Nuggets

Nets are strong favourites against the Pacers. I think Pacers will be within 8.5 points of the nets, although Brogdon will not be playing. Small bet on this one.

Pacers + 8.5 > Nets

This would have been worse if Pacers choked any more than they did, but I will take 1/4. The rest went wrong as James did end up playing for the Lakers, while both Clippers and Mavericks played terrible. Of note, Jokic was playing for the Nuggets which was unexpected.

hi

I'm a fan of Philadelphia 76, but last season I didn't bet on NBA games. This season I will start, let's comment here Champion, winner of the East, winner of the East?

Both bets were going well until Lakers let off the gas pedal in the 4th and finished only 10 over, short of the required 11.5.

For tonight,

Hornets - 5.5 > Cavaliers

Spurs > Pacers

Hawks vs. Wizards O222

Maybe a little early to decide, but I am thinking Warriors > Bucks, assuming both teams get their injured players back by the end of the regular season.

Three guests win today maybe:
Indiana v San Antonio (Match winner San Antonio 2.14)
Boston v Chicago (Chicago (Match Winner) 1.94)
Memphis v Denver (Denver (Match Winner) 2.04)

Indiana I think is a better team than what the start of the season shows, but maybe it won’t start the win against San Antonio.
I am secretly waiting for Chicago in the grand final ;) so I trust in today’s victory.
The Memphis - Denver may be a close match, but now maybe the Jokic-s will win the match.

Some unpredictable games incoming tonight.

I am going with Pacers - 3 > Knicks (2.25). Pacers are at home and have Brogdon back, which should make them even more competitive than they have been recently.

Also, a small bet on Wolves > Clippers (1.9).

Suns > Kings

Heat - 2 > Nuggets

Mavs vs. Pelican'ts O210.5

There's only three games tonight.

76ers without Embid and several other starters are underdogs against Bucks, who are also missing several starters but have Giannis. I think the line to take here is U216.5 and I am not sure who will win it.

Jazz and Hawks are both on a skid. Jazz are favourites. They will probably win but the odds are not good for a bet. Both are high scoring teams but I do not see them surpassing 222.5. (U222.5).

Trailblazers and Clippers. Blazers are underdogs and I will give them a shot.
Blazers > Clippers
U221.5
