I predicted the result of Lakers - Heat game wrongly as Lakers were the winning team by 120-117. But Heat played as good as them that Lakers were able to win this game after overtime. Lakers succeeded in beating them even in the absence of Lebron which is a good sign for them. Because this season, it is really hard to beat Miami Heat as they are quite solid so far.

It just shows that the Lakers still need Lebron James to close the game and become the Lakers show.

Big challenge by the Clippers if they can win against a legit challenger. Miami Heat is also a championship contender and LA Clippers although they are in a win streak, they are still lacking as they missed Leonard this season, it will be a great game but I think the win streak will stop here.

The Warriors are now 10-1 with their win against the Timberwolves 123-110.
Notable scorers are Edwards who has 48 points and I think that is his new career-high (correct me) and Wiggins who got 35 points and its his new season high.

The Warriors are now at the top of the standings with 10-1 but most of their games are with the teams who are below 500 last season like the Kings, Thunder, Pelicans, Timberwolves, Rockets. Lets wait for the Warriors to match up against teams who are at the top right now which will be their next game against the Bulls 2 days from now. We know how strong the Bulls are right now so the Warriors will be tested if they will extend their win streak or it will be over.

Anyway, lets give some credits to GPII for how he good he is right now. Gary Payton II is playing good minutes with the Warriors right now. He is a good full court defender and in fact the players who he defended has a lower performance than their usual ones. He is also a high flyer with amazing highlight dunks.

Lakers need more than Lebron to fight with GSW, that is great again
will be interesting to see what Miami can do in another LA match, with Clippers, Clippers are on fire, in winning series, and it will be hard to outplay them for Miami, I will back Clippers tonight, solid value @1.5

This is exactly what I had in mind upon reading the status of Butler. It's a good time for the coach to test his rotations as early as possible since they are still in a good spot in the rankings.

Butler could be sitting on the sideline and it will be tougher for Herro now as the Clippers can throw a good defender on him.

...Clippers have an advantage as they are in a solid shape. So I'm favoring them in this.

It's another close game we have right now. Toronto goes as high as 10 point lead in the 4th quarter, but the Sixers come back and cut it to 3 points.

And then Toronto keeps the lead, but Harris hits a 3 now, to cut the lead to 5. I don't have a bet on this game, but I like the chances of Toronto in the beginning.

Anyhow, 3 minutes to go, 100-107 Toronto leading.
