Here are my bets and predictions for today's game I will bet on 4 games today,

Atlanta Hawks VS Orlando Magic

The stake odds for this game are 1.60 for the Atlanta Hawks and 2.41 for the Orlando Magic, right now Vit Krejci, Wesley Matthews, De'Andre Hunter, and Mouhamed Gueye can not play for the Atlanta Hawks, while Gary Harris and Franz Wagner can not play for the Orlando Magic, for me I could bet for the Atlanta Hawks but right now we could never know how the Orlando Magic would play tonight they could surely win in a fashion you could never know, so I might risk my bet for the Magic so my pick will be the Orlando Magic.

Toronto Raptors VS Miami Heat

The stake odds for this game are 2.08 for the Toronto Raptors and 1.79 for the Miami Heat, right now Gary Trent Jr. and Gradey Dick are both questionable if they can play for the Raptors Christian Koloko, Otto Porter Jr., and Jakob Poeltl can not play for the Toronto Raptors while Dru Smith is out for this season, Kevin Love and Jaime Jaquez Jr. can not play for the Miami Heat, for this game, the Toronto Raptors is doing great lately but against the Miami Heat, you can never know for sure the Miami heat right now is getting their winnings while the Toronto Raptors got their consecutive losses right now so my pick for this game is the Miami Heat.

Utah Jazz VS Golden State Warriors

The stake odds for this game are 1.64 for the Utah Jazz and 2.33 for the Golden State Warriors, right now the Utah Jazz doesn't have any injuries, while Moses Moody has a calf injury, Chris Paul has a hand injury, and Gary Payton II has a Hamstring injury for this game right now we can all agree with the way the Utah Jazz is playing right now they have 6 consecutive wins, while the Warriors is really inconsistent and could lead to a lost with those signs, but for this game I think I will risk it for my favorite team the Warriors if they lost this one they can not go into the play-offs for sure, so my pick is the Golden State Warriors.

Portland Trail Blazers VS Brooklyn Nets

The stake odds for this game are 3.00 for the Portland Trail Blazers and 1.42 for the Brooklyn Nets, right now Anfernee Simons, Ibou Badji, Malcolm Brogdon, and Deandre Ayton, are questionable if they can play for the Trail Blazers, Robert Williams III is out of this season, Shaedon Sharpe and Moses Brown can not play for the Portland Trail Blazers, while Dariq Whitehead is questionable if he can play for the Nets, Ben Simmons and Day'Ron Sharpe can not play for the Brooklyn Nets, for this game the Portland surely is hard to make a bet for them as they not doing great and Anfernee Simons is going in this game not in his 100% for sure, so for sure my pick is the Brooklyn Nets.

All recent matches between the two teams have been close. Two of the last three games have been decided by a single point. Orlando has lost six of its last nine games and is dealing with a lot of injuries. This could be advantageous for Atlanta. The hosts have a 7-3 advantage in the last 10 meetings. Although the slumping Orlando won its last game, it is disadvantageous to play another road game without proper rest. Atlanta is my favorite in this match.

No Injuries

∆ S. Barnes 25+ PRA S. Barnes 2+ stocks @1.64 ∆  won

Masai Ujiri's fire sale/roster overhaul continues, with Pascal Siakam becoming the latest to be traded, this time to Indiana.

Barnes may be the longest-tenured Raptor right now, and he's only 22...(so, it turns out C. Boucher is the only player left from the 18/19 championship squad, at least for now...lol).

I don't usually bet on teams that have recently made a trade, but Barnes' numbers look solid, and with Siakam gone, this is too nice a spot to pass up.

Barnes has hit 25+ PRA in 9/L10, averaging close to 30 PRA in that span. He's hit 2+ stocks (steals+blocks) in 9/L10 as well.

This is a very logical pick to follow and go all in on, other than the fact that I'm not much of a Blocks/Steals guy, especially with how the NBA call or determines which one is what.

That said, this Toronto team is literally a Scottie Barnes team right now and almost everything will be centered around him for the foreseeable future, I however don't see this team being able challenge or go very deep into the post season with this roster, I'm hope I could be proved wrong, though!

And my good winning record continues.

Got a W on the Lakers and Toronto, but since the game of Jazz vs GSW got postponed, I only have 2 wins which is 100% win rate.

I guess I need to keep going, I'm not as confident as I am now than before, so follow me. hahaha


For the later games. I'm glad to share my picks again.

1- Sacramento Kings -7.5

They are on a 3 losing streak, first game back at home against Indiana that still misses Hali. It's a great chance  for the Kings to come back and start fresh with a win. I hope they'll not collapse again in the 4th quarter so they can win and cover the spread.

2- Memphis +13.

Minny is good but they are on a back to back game. I can't trust them to cover this high spread, so I'm with the undermanned Memphis to cover the spread.

3- OKC -3

I'm going against the hot Jazz, they were my pick against the Warriors but I feel that the OKC is still the better team. Coming from 2 disappointing loss in LA, I think they'll make sure to break that losing streak here.

Detroit Pistons - Minnesota Timberwolves - Minnesota Timberwolves (-10.5) - Lost. Pistons staying within the distance, in the last quarters of the game. Did not cover the spread.
Boston Celtics - San Antonio Spurs - Boston Celtics (-13.5) Won. Just what I thought would happen. Even with Wemby around, Tatum, Brown, and Holiday are just too much for them.
Toronto Raptors - Miami Heat - Miami Heat (-1.5) - Lost! Bad day for the Miami Heat. Raptors playing good defense.
Cleveland Cavaliers - Milwaukee Bucks - Milwaukee Bucks (-2.5) - Lost! No Giannis, Yes problem. 
New Orleans Pelicans - Charlotte Hornets - New Orleans Pelicans (-10.5) - Won! Oh yeah, the Pelicans started it good and ended it great.

---

Later, 5 games.
Here are the teams playing back-to-back games. Raptors, Timberwolves, and Knicks.

Here are my picks for later.
Toronto Raptors - Chicago Bulls - Chicago Bulls (-1.5) Like I said Raptors are playing back-to-back and the Bulls had their 2 days rest. Time to win some games while their start are healthy.
New York Knicks - Washington Wizards - Washington Wizards (10.5) Knicks may be playing at home but if they are exhausted it might become a close game. Expecting the Wizards to take advantage of their stamina.
Utah Jazz - Oklahoma City Thunder - Oklahoma City Thunder (-1.5) I do love how good the Utah Jazz are playing but the OKC Thunder are hungry to claim another win. They are on 2 consecutive losses, they may try hard to win this match.
Sacramento Kings - Indiana Pacers - Sacramento Kings (-5.5) - Kings at home is 13-7 and the Pacers' Haliburton is still questionable to play.

Good luck everyone. 

The result of my pick for today's NBA game was really weird as favorite teams are now getting decimated even the Milwaukee Bucks,

New York Knicks (1.50) VS Houston Rockets (2.65) - WIN


It was a great game for both teams to have clashed like this close game at the end of the 1st half, but the New York Knicks bested the Houston Rockets in this game, and it was wild because the game was so close, Fred VanVleet was great in this game along with Alperen Sengun but it was not enough as the New York Knicks Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson's tandem was very formidable in the 4th quarter of the game, along with Josh Hart's double-double performance the New York Knicks have knock the winning in this game,


Toronto Raptors (2.08) VS Miami Heat (1.79) - LOST


It was a very one-sided game at the start the Toronto Raptors bested the team of Emo Jimmy, who is not consistent of a consistent player anymore and led the downfall of the team, for sure he is just aesthetics with his appearance but not with his functional and performance to the team, that simply led for the Miami Heats destruction, for sure Immanuel Quickley, Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett was the teams great performers, while Gary Trent Jr. lead the team to victory, 

Cleveland Cavaliers (2.41) VS Milwaukee Bucks (1.60) - LOST


I really thought that the Milwaukee Bucks would win this game, apparently, I was wrong about it, as the Cavaliers have a great start, for sure while there is no Giannis Antetokounmpo there is minus offense and defense for the team because Giannis Antetokounmpo not on the team, Damian Lillard is not much of a help anyway for the Milwaukee bucks as there is no detrimental defense for them as Damian Lillard is not a big help when it comes to the team of the Cleveland Cavaliers at all,

@danherbias07 nice run, 3/4 today is impressive. You lose to the Sacramento Kings who are now on their 4 losing streak, I can't believe the struggle of this team. In this game, they were down big early, had a good run in the 4th but still fall shot, if only Fox were able to hit that tying 3, this game could have went to overtime, and from their I think Sacramento will have an edge.

Next game they'll be playing the Hawks, but before that, they'll have a 3 days rest, enough for them to figure out how to get back winning again.

With their losing streak, that put them on the rank 7 in the West.

I'm interested on this pick. I don't know if it's a trap but it looks like a trap. 

Regardless though, I still could not discount the capability of the Nuggets winning on the road and could possibly hand the Celtics their first loss. They are now +6 ^{(I think this line did not move)} but I'll take a higher risk, and will be betting on the moneyline.
