Tough loss by the Dallas that time as they loss by 23 points. 132-109 was the score.
However, Irving was out that time and this game later he is gonna play with his new crew as well. The line up will be tested but I believe Dallas are gonna avenge their loss and will beat the Suns.

Cleveland hasn't been playing well at home recently. On their first game from a road trip, 76ers beat them, and then in the 2nd, although they won but the Bulls made it a close game losing by 3 points only. Maybe they will win but will not cover the spread, so I'm gonna ride with the moneyline here.

Agreed I'm laying off of any betting except maybe betting against the Lakers.  Bron nursing a bum ankle and I know they don't want that to linger so he might get some bench time here.  Other than that enjoying the next couple of days without laying down on them until the break dust settles.

Not a good start mate, you would have gone perfect if you had taken the opposite side. It's the home teams that had dominated the games since all these three home teams had won via double digit.

Dallas by 10
OKc by 22
Warriors by 18 ^{(LA playing without Lebron)}

Well, you got 1 win and that is the Dallas Mavericks versus the Phoenix Suns, Devin Booker was working pretty much in this game he was really struggling in pursuing a win but Luka Doncic's curse has gotten into the Phoenix Suns once again as he decimated the Suns with a Double-double of 11 assist and 41 points, with a little help from Kyrie Irving, but maybe the recent beef of Luka Doncic has come alive again and was pretty much shown in this game.

Now the Result of my picks for games was Yesterday and it was really awful all my picks were lost this time, and not having an edge with the odds helped.

Philadelphia 76ers vs. New York Knicks

Philadelphia 76ers (1.87) - LOST - I thought that the Philadelphia 76ers would have their way as even though they don't have Joel Embiid I thought they can still do it, but the teamwork and play of Brunson to the team has got a major role for them, as Josh Hart and Precious Achiuwa had a great defensive and offensive rebounding for the team, while Bojan Bogdanovic and Donte DiVincenzo was great in getting those scores when the team needed the most.

Golden State Warriors vs. Los Angeles Lakers

Los Angeles Lakers (2.52) - LOST - Now I thought having the backup of the refs would make the Los Angeles Lakers dominated the game was not really enough, it was the ferociousness of the offense of the Golden State Warriors was really enough to bust that Free Throw contingency that the referees was giving to the Lakers, and Anthony Davis and Lebron James can not get Stephen Curry has shown why he is the goat on this game with the help of Andrew Wiggins and Trace Jackson-Davis the Warriors have conquered even though the Lakers does have the help of the referee's.

Starting a fresh journey after the all star break ^{(no more break this time)}

I got these teams winning later.

1- Suns -4. A back to back game but it's a must win in Houston. Bradly Beal Still out, but let Book and Durant take care of the business.
2-Clippers -9 - they are not the Bucks, sure they can beat this undermanned team.
3-Wolves -4.5 - Bucks might continue to struggle and Wolves might still owned them.
4-Lakers -10 - Both teams are playing back to back, but Lakers are back at home, though Lebron is still "Q", I think the home team can handle the Spurs.

Updated record 15-19 (44%) ^{Another losing streak.} 

Still making some picks and let see how this goes.

1- Detroit is on a losing streak again so definitely I'm gonna pick them with the spread of +8. I like a desperate home team to win as well.
2- Boston is just too strong now dominating their opponents, so I'll take the -6.5
3- Wolves on a back to back home game, and might be bouncing back after losing to the Bucks. Against a visiting less defensive Brooklyn Nets, it's Timberwolves -8.5 all day.

∆ Magic ML F. Wagner 18+ points @1.66 ∆  X

This is a great spot for Franz Wagner. The Pistons have been terrible at defending the PnR this season, and they give up a ton of points in the paint, which is exactly where Wagner excels. He set a career-high against them earlier this month with 38 points and added 27 in the other game between the two teams. Wagner has covered 18+ points in 7/L10, averaging just over 23 points with a solid 53% FG in that span.

11 games! Wooh!

One game is about to start in a couple of hours.
Philadelphia 76ers - Milwaukee Bucks - Milwaukee Bucks (-2.5) - Sorry Philly, I don't think they can handle the Bucks without Embiid although Giannis is said to be probable to play.
Phoenix Suns - Los Angeles Lakers - Phoenix Suns (-1.5) - Bradley Beal is out and Nurkic is probable. Well, they still have KD and Booker while the Lakers are filled with injury reports.
Indiana Pacers - Dallas Mavericks - Indiana Pacers (-1.5) - Luka Doncic is probable to play for the Mavs. Jalen Smith and Aaron Nesmith are both out for the Pacers.
Washington Wizards - Cleveland Cavaliers - Cleveland Cavaliers (-10.5) - Mitchell is probable but I doubt they will lose this one. I just hope the spreads will be covered.
New Orleans Pelicans - Chicago Bulls - New Orleans Pelicans (-5.5) - I am trusting the bench of the Pelicans here. Ingram and Zion are questionable to play and McCollum is out.
Houston Rockets - Oklahoma City Thunder - Oklahoma City Thunder (-4.5) - This will be a good one to watch. Both are young teams and I bet it will be a fast-paced game.
Atlanta Hawks - Orlando Magic - Orlando Magic ML - Trae Young out and Okungwu out, this could be a bad day for the Hawks.

Betting live for the last few games.
Good luck everyone. Have a great day.

updated recordUpdated record 20-20 (50%) ^{back to 50%, small improvement but getting better} 

Clippers not so good in that game, I thought they were complete but turns out PG was missing. But regardless, I think they can beat the kings at home but they are not ready for it, still a profitable day though, so let's move forward.

1- Miami Heat +7.5
They have perfected their last 3 road games, so I'm wondering why they are this underdog, but regardless I'm still riding the trend though, if they will lose at least they'll cover, even without Jimmy I believe.

2-Knicks -11
Playing at home with an impressive record, I think they can handle the Pistons. Lost last game to the Celtics, they'll bounce back this game.

3-Pacers -6.5
2 consecutive wins at home with a huge margin, they should win here and cover even they are on a back to back game.

Rsults:
Philadelphia 76ers - Milwaukee Bucks - Milwaukee Bucks (-2.5) - Won! Too easy for the Bucks.
Phoenix Suns - Los Angeles Lakers - Phoenix Suns (-1.5) - Won! This is the first time I saw Grayson Allen shooting some volume in the three-point range. 6/12 for the sharpshooter.
Indiana Pacers - Dallas Mavericks - Indiana Pacers (-1.5) - Won! Myles Turner! 33 points. Wow.
Washington Wizards - Cleveland Cavaliers - Cleveland Cavaliers (-10.5) - Loss! The Cavs had the 12-point lead at one point in the 4th quarter but they got messy and turned the ball over many times which led to a 7-point run for the Wizards, so the spread was not covered.
New Orleans Pelicans - Chicago Bulls - New Orleans Pelicans (-5.5) - Loss! This was just not right. The Pelicans had the lead in the first half.
Houston Rockets - Oklahoma City Thunder - Oklahoma City Thunder (-4.5) - Won! Easy win for the Thunder.
Atlanta Hawks - Orlando Magic - Orlando Magic ML - Loss! Surprised by the Hawks. Jalen Johnson stepping up his game.

Later, 4 games only.
Here are my picks.

Indiana Pacers - Toronto Raptors - Indiana Pacers (-4.5) - Back-to-back home game for the Pacers, I don't think that will be a problem.
New York Knicks - Detroit Pistons - New York Knicks (-10.5) - Brunson can somehow carry the team. He might go nuts in this home game.
Sacramento Kings - Miami Heat - Miami Heat (8.5) - Looks like a trap for me. We have seen the Heat win games using their bench, I will take the +8 just to be sure.

Good luck everyone, have a great day.
