Probably skip the game for tonight mate, it looks like most of the games are a trap, 

Good move mate, if we are on a losing streak, taking a break is not a bad idea.

I will ride with the hot Lakers for now, we'll see how far could they go.

Good win by the Lakers, and obviously the trade of Luka is paying off as he has a triple double game against his former team and here he has 21 points and 13 rebounds.

Another great team to watch is the Warriors, Curry has 56 points, and with 12 three's in this game. And it looks like the Warriors is back in the winning column or at least gonna make the playoffs with Jimmy Butler's mentality with them right now.

Curry was great in that game but they lost to the struggling Sixers yesterday, this just show how unpredictable it is betting on the NBA hehe. But for sure we can see the Warriors advancing to the playoffs this season.

For today's game, my bet for today will be for the Lakers ML @2.42 vs Clippers, risky bet but i do hope that they can duplicate their win against the Clippers last week.

Congratulations on your bet!

It was almost an easy win for you to say the least, the Lakers started off the game way better than the Clippers, even though the turnovers was another issue in the game for both team early in the first half. The main separation for the Lakers came in the later part of the 2nd Quarter, the Clippers couldn't get any bucket for the last ~7 minutes of the quarter, probably the longest I've seen in a while.

Right, but it was still close though, the problem is that the Clippers missed a lot of shots that could have made that huge comeback. But with Luka and Lebron playing together, very hard to beat this version of the Lakers even without Reaves.

Sixers vs Trailblazers, I will go with the underdog Portland @2.03
Heat vs Wizards - Heat -6.5 @1.80

I enjoy watching LeBron and Luka play together, but I wonder how long they can sustain their winning streak given their current lack of depth. They will likely face challenges when they encounter stronger teams.

For today i'm going with the Warriors, i think they can't loss this one.

Solid picks you've got there, and I like both of the especially the Miami Heat -6.5, I think the game should be a straight forward and easy win for Heat, they blew a huge lead against New York Knick last night, this should a make up time for them.

The 76ers on the other hand played really the last time against Golden State Warriors, I guess that could be a result of already knowing that they cannot count on Embiid for the rest of the season and adjusting to what they actually have at their disposal, but I guess we'll see if that match against Warrior was a fluke because the Blazers have also been playing really well as of late.

Good luck!

Thanks, it was hit, as Miami was able to cover even won by double digits and Portland won as well, maybe the Sixers just got lucky against the Warriors, hehehehe.

SGA drops 51 against Houston, cementing his name as candidate for MVP this season, and keep the OKC as the top team in the West.

Clippers vs Suns, - Clippers -3.5 @1.94
Spurs vs Nets - Spurs -3.5 @1.86

Congratulations mate, that was an easy win yesterday. You are back on the winning track so i will be tailing these two bets of yours. I think this would be an easy win for the Clippers vs the struggling Phoenix Suns.

It was an ugly game between the Clippers against the Suns. I thought that it will be a easy win for the Clippers as they have established a double digit lead and Phoenix are somewhat have their own problems within themselves.

But Durant come back strong and Suns rally from 23-point deficit in 2nd half. Damn, it should be another 2/2 for me.

Ugly win indeed, they choked in the fourth quarter and blew a 23-point lead. That may be the reason why the Clippers also struggle to secure a win.

For todays game, i'll be betting only on one game.

Thunder -7.5 @1.92 vs Grizzlies

I was also able to bet on Thunder -8.5, I was thinking of even going as high as -10.5 for better odds because I know that they can easily cover this spread.

Warriors vs Nets - Warriors is hot, I think they can cover -10.5 @1.81
Lakers vs Knicks - gonna be interesting as KAT is back, but I will go with the Lakers -2.5 @1.82

The Lakers are severely undermanned right now, so I’ll avoid betting on them today. It would be better if Hachimura and Reaves were playing, but that’s not the case at the moment. Instead, I’ll bet on the hot Warriors today and hope they win and cover the spread.

Extremely sloppy start from the Warriors was made them unable to cover the spread against the Nets, they played catch up for the next 2 quarters of the game, and when the Warriors finally had their double digit lead in the final minutes of the game, they still couldn't hang on enough to add the lead, instead a couple of turnovers brought the Nets two within 2 points.

For me, it's a bit expected that they will come back after that sloppy start. A good time to put some bets on them if you watched the whole or even just at the start of the game.

From being down by as much as 20, the climbed up and won the game, but it's a 2-point win only though. Curry erupted with 40 points while Butler helped with 25. Surprisingly, the Warriors improved when they got Butler in the trade. From being at the 10th spot for quite some time, to now at the 6th spot already. Although this isn't sustainable especially if they go to a losing streak, it's good to see the the Warriors improved ever since the trade deadline. I just hope that they will maintain this kind of energy.

Yeah, if the Warriors just started hot in the first quarter and not let the Nets take that big lead, we might have won our bet. And we still have a good chance in the last 4 minutes of the game as they slowly build double digit lead.

For tonights game,

Rockets vs NOP - I will go with NOP +7.5 @1.92
Raptors vs Wizards - Raptors -3.5 @1.86
