Anyone seen the ending between the Nuggets and the Wolves, it went into double OT. ANT standard slow but then the got hot where it is important as I thought that the Nuggets is going to win this game already.

Playoff atmosphere, unfortunately, Westbrick missed a lay up and then foul Walker for that 2 out of 3 (intentional missed the last one).

Their missed free throws in the final seconds really came back to haunt them. If only Westbrook and Jokic had made their free throws, they would have won. But that's how the game goes, the breaks of the game favored the Wolves that time and that damn foul.

I saw the highlights just a while ago, and what brought my attention to the match highlight was Jokic epic numbers yet again, a 61 points triple-double, that's a really crazy number, too bad it ended with a loss for them, looking at the missed layup, I really don't know what to say, Westbrook was probably overly eager as usual to score and taunt-celebrate, hence losing his composure because that was a clean look at the basketball, I was even expecting a dunk from that.

someone said 'Westbrick should win 6th man of the year the way he carried the timberwolves to this W🔥' The block attempt on the last shot was so risky. I mean he's not that tall and was quite far. I respect the hustle but he's got be smarter with those block. It was probably not necessary because the time was also about to expire.

Yes, but even with those numbers, they still lost because of their missed free throws. That's why no one is talking about his big numbers but instead, we put our attention of Curry's twelve 3's against Memphis and winning that game as they goes into the 5th spot now.

And obviously, it will haunt them to get Russ because of this play. And I do believed that this could really be the sign that his game is deteriorating already.

I'm keeping it Denver Nuggets friendly tonight, I believe they should bounce back from that lose against Timberwolves, I took them -9.5 over San Antonio Spurs @ 1.90 early, but there is a number of players from the Denver Nuggets that considered questionable, I just hope Jokic and a couple of key players would be available though, and I think that would do.

Win number 11 is on the line for the Thunder as they face the Pistons today. Given their recent dominant performances, I believe they will secure another decisive victory and of course covering this wide spread.

I guess OKC vs Pistons is the match I'd be watching tonight after all, their recent match was a really heated one so maybe they'll bring the energy back, at first, I thought I would be watching the Nuggets today, but I guess not after their whole roster is declared to not be playing tonight except Westbrook, maybe that's for some redemption time, lol. the line went from -9.5 to -2.5 real fast.

Good luck!

I initially thought the Thunder vs. Pistons game would be close, especially when the Pistons made a run early in the fourth quarter to narrow the gap to just four points. However, the Thunder managed to put up some crucial defensive stops and went on a run of their own, ultimately covering the spread. My winning streak remains unbroken .

For tomorrow, who's your pick on the Lakers vs Warriors game?

I don't think that he will win the 6th man of the year. There are still a lot of better players coming off the bench and putting solid numbers for their team. Prayton Richard and Malik Beasley are just two names above Westbrick right now. And yes, that attempted block was risky and so unfortunately, the refs will have to call that foul. And then the Nuggets were upset by the Spurs today. Westrbrook though has one of his biggest games as a Nugget with a big 30 points. But their starting five didn't play in this game as the management chooses to sit them.

It's a tricky game, but I'm currently more tilted towards the Lakers here, provided Luka Doncic and Lebron are playing, I'm still somewhat skeptical about the Warriors lately, the way they struggle to get their offense going without Steph is concerning. The Lakers are also at home, so some sort of extra motivation as usual.

Well, the Warriors will have a chance to beat the Lakers if Curry performs as phenomenally as he did against the Grizzlies recently. If not, I also think the Lakers will be the favorites and will likely win this game. After all, Curry and Butler will be tough to match up against LeBron, Luka, and Reaves.

I will go with the underdog here, which is the Warriors currently still a good bet at 1.99.

Definitely it will be Luka and Lebron, but the Warriors have been playing solid, I expect Steph to score at least 30 points in this game. Jimmy Butler and Draymond with their high IQ.

And the second stringers of the Warriors are better in my opinion.

I guess we are on the opposite sides of coin for tonight then, at least the only positive thing here is that both of us can't lose to the bookies, right ?

Good luck mate

This is a 50-50 game for me but i do inclined on betting for the Lakers as they have the home court advantage plus the duo of Lebron and Luka might poses some problems to the Warriors. Hope it will not rain 3's from the Warriors tonight though.
