Yeah, crap. I guess they are exhausted, or it's because Middleton was not there. That was supposed to be a good win and I am expecting at least a 7 to 10-point lead at the end of the game. Well, shit happens, and that's now.
Here are my results for the games yesterday.
Denver Nuggets - Indiana Pacers - Denver Nuggets (-10.5) - Lost! Nuggets won by just 8 points.
Miami Heat - Charlotte Hornets - Miami Heat (-5.5) - Win. Yeah, just like I predicted, they still have Bam, Herro, Robinson, and of course Jaime Jaquez Jr. who contributed 15 points.
Milwaukee Bucks - Sacramento Kings - Milwaukee Bucks (-3.5) - Lost!
Minnesota Timberwolves - Los Angeles Clippers - Los Angeles Clippers ML Lost! That was some game from the Antman! Amazing.
Portland Trail Blazers - Phoenix Suns - Phoenix Suns (-10.5) Win! Just enough to cover the spreads. 11 point lead from the Phoenix Suns.

Later, 11 games! Rawr! Another feast for the parlay makers.
Miami Heat and Indiana Pacers are the teams that will be playing back-to-back games. Do consider that in your bets.
Here are my early picks.
Philadelphia 76ers - Houston Rockets - Philadelphia 76ers (-5.5) 14-6 record at home for the 76ers but they are playing without their star Embiid. But, I saw them still winning games. Embiid is questionable to play but that spread seems to tell that he will play. I hope so.
Dallas Mavericks - New Orleans Pelicans - Dallas Mavericks (5.5) Doncic is doubtful, Jones Jr. is probable, and so does Kleber. But, Kyrie is playing like a superstar although they had a bad loss against the Pelicans.
New York Knicks - Orlando Magic - New York Knicks (-4.5) - Knicks are strong, they just need to focus more on their defense. When they deleted those 18 points led against the Mavs, I was shocked. They are not to be messed with on clutch times.
Memphis Grizzlies - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors (-5.5) Steph is back, time to win games again.

Good luck everyone.

Here are my bets and predictions for games today,

Washington Wizards VS Detroit Pistons

The stake odds for this game are 1.45 for the Washington Wizards and 2.80 for the Detroit Pistons, right now Johnny Davis, has an Illness and is questionable if he can play for the Wizards Marvin Bagley III, and Isaiah Livers can not play for the Washington Wizards because of Coach's Decision while Malcolm Cazalon, and Bojan Bogdanovic both is questionable if they can play for the Pistons, Mike Muscala, Danilo Gallinari, Monte Morris, and Cade Cunningham all can not play for the Detroit Pistons and so because there are many injuries for the Pistons, while the Washington Wizards still have their main key players, for this game my pick is the Washington Wizards,

Memphis Grizzlies VS Golden State Warriors

The stake odds for this game are 3.45 for the Memphis Grizzlies and 1.33 for the Golden State Warriors, right now Jaren Jackson Jr., and Santi Aldama, are both questionable if they can play for the Grizzlies, Jake LaRavia, Derrick Rose, Desmond Bane, Marcus Smart, and Brandon Clarke can not play for the Memphis Grizzlies, Ja Morant and Steven Adams are Out for the season, while Moses Moody, Chris Paul and Gary Payton II are all can not play for the Golden State Warriors so for this game the Memphis Grizzlies as many injuries and their key main players Ja Morant is out for this season for sure my pick for this game is non other than Golden State Warriors,

Utah Jazz VS Indiana Pacers

The stake odds for this game are 1.37 for the Utah Jazz and 3.20 for the Indiana Pacers, right Utah Jazz doesn't have any injuries while Aaron Nesmith has a Lower leg injury and is questionable if he can play for the Pacers, and Tyrese Haliburton has a Hamstring Expected to be out until at least Jan 25, can not play for the Indiana Pacers, for this game, it is not expected that Haliburton will be injured like this and without him, the play for the Indiana Pacers are different, without him, while Utah Jazz is a great team now and is at their 100% going in this game so my pick is the Utah Jazz,

Celtics vs Raptors, I'm not going on the handicap for this game, but go with the Over 237.5. Reports says that Jaylen Brown is questionable though, so we might have to look at if if we are going to bet on the handicap.

Jazz vs Pacers, Indiana is playing and winning without Haliburton, but the Jazz have their own winning streak as well. So I will go with them at -6.5 @1.84.

Best of luck!!

Jazz have been very good lately having got all their injured players back, and they're one of the teams playing beyond expectation recently, and the streak should continue against the Pacer, I'd agree!

-7.5 for Utah Jazz sound pretty cool, so I'll be tailing you on that!

I've also got Oklahoma City Thunder -1.5 against the Lakers @ 1.89

GL!

I can understand why the OKC Thunder loss in this game.

Based on my observation, it seems like everyone was rooting for OKC. Line opened up at +4.5 for OKC and ended up -3, this could only mean one thing, bettors does not believe that OKC will win. So I took the initiative to follow my analysis and it paid off.

Lakers won, Lebron and AD consistent as usual, but the good thing is that the supporting cast played well.

Russell 14, Reaves 13, Hachimura 12, and wood 11. Hopefully they already figured out how to create a good rotation.

We have 3 games only tomorrow, and here's my picks.

1) Nuggets +4

Sure Embiid is back, he scored 41 points on their win against the Rockets, but they are against the defending champion now. Sixers coming from a back to back game, I believe there's still a little fatigue factor compared to the well rested Nuggets.

Sixers doesn't really have an impressive home record, only 15-6 (spreads all covered), so If this will be a close game and they will still win, I believe Nuggets will cover.


2) Kings +5

Coming from a disappointing lose against Bucks, this time they'll play more mature basketball, and might likely win against an inconsistent Suns.

3)Clippers-5.5

Clippers loss to Wolves on their road games, now playing at home and will try to bounce back. So I think it will be a big win by the Clippers against OKC who suffered a loss against the Lakers, also OKC is on a b2b game.

I've also got the Clippers spread because of the home advantage, but still, OKC can keep it close if they can have a better shooting day compared to the Lakers game, as they're one of the teams that continues to find success while they're at a disadvantage(4-1 on b2b games).

I hope OKC can make it easy for us, but they're still a team that can surprise us with an upset on the road despite losing games they could've won.

Damn, I still have not won a good parlay yet.
Philadelphia 76ers - Houston Rockets - Philadelphia 76ers (-5.5) - Won! Oh yeah! Thank you Embiid.
Dallas Mavericks - New Orleans Pelicans - Dallas Mavericks (5.5) - Won! Kyrie! My man!
New York Knicks - Orlando Magic - New York Knicks (-4.5) - Lost! Well, that was unexpected. Randle was not that offensive in this game.
Memphis Grizzlies - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors (-5.5) - Lost! This was a shitty game for the Warriors and a good one for the Memphis bench. I watched the whole game and they found their offensive guys through GG Jackson and Vince Williams Jr.

Congratulations to all the winners yesterday.
I backed the Jazz and had a good win, it was fun watching them play.

Later 3 games only.
The 76ers playing back-to-back, so you might want to reconsider the bets or the spreads.
Here are my picks.
Philadelphia 76ers - Denver Nuggets - Denver Nuggets ML Like I said 76ers are playing back-to-back so might as well try to bet for the other team which ain't an average one.

Phoenix Suns - Sacramento Kings - Phoenix Suns (-2.5) - The Suns may want to continue their winning streak while their stars are all healthy so they can rise to the rankings. Bradley Beal had been playing in good condition so take advantage of it while he is still hot.

Los Angeles Clippers - Oklahoma City Thunder - Los Angeles Clippers (-3.5) I failed to win my bet for the Clippers last time, I hope this time it will be different. Don't underestimate OKC because they are also a strong team.

Good luck everyone.

Thanks, though I lose on the Nuggets but I still feel good with my handicapping, LOL. Let's see if I would still be able to finish profitable on the next one.

So on the upcoming games, I'm still making 3 picks, and I just need 2 to be profitable.

1- Jazz -4.5 - Not much explanation needed on this one, Jazz has been hot now, so I'm just riding the train.

2-Lakers -3 - I'm hoping that they already found their rthym after a big win against OKC. It doesn't matter if Doncic will play, Lakers can still match them because they are complete and Roy has played already.

3- Toronto ML - They are in a losing streak right now with 4, so they need to get back in the game. I think this is the game where they can win, although Miami is also good on the road but I feel they Raptors can compete and can beat them.
