Yes, they need to come back from a bad loss.
With or without AD, they must do something to get their high spirits back.
It doesn't look like the same Lakers as last year anymore where they are good at both offensive and defensive end.

I want to add over 228 points for Portland vs Suns game. It may become a 3 point battle between two offensive teams.

Good luck, hopefully Westbrook will tank in this game.  lol

I believe that Lebron will work harder in this game, they badly need a win, they are sliding in the standings and that two loses of them are against a good team, a playoff teams compared to the Wizards which are already out in the playoff standing as of now.

Wendell Carter Jr. and the Bulls ruined my what was supposed to be a winning record last week, with him getting stuck at 13pts/reb for a quarter and half while i needed 15 from him. So yeah, a new week and two of my three props are again on the Bulls' game with Houston.  

O211.5 pts + Wall 15+ pts + Wall 1+ steal + Bulls +6.5 1Q total odds 1.92 lost (1+ steal streak is ova) 

Both teams are top 5 in possessions per game (aka pace) this season, they should be able to get past 212 with ease. Wall has a little streak of consecutive games of at least one steal, i will be riding it until he doesn't get one. I also don't see Rockets jump to an early lead, actually, they have been giving lots of pts to opposing teams in the 1Q.

LaVine 25+ pts + White 20+ pts/reb/ast + Carter 15+ pts/reb/ast total odds 1.80 lost (that 46-26 3Q killed it with LaVine barely playing any minutes in the 4Q arghhh)

Morant 15+ pts + K. Anderson O2.5 reb + Valanciunas 20+ pts/reb + Morant O5.5 assists total odds 1.73 won

Mavericks are dead last in defensive efficiency (last 3) and basically in any other defensive category as a matter of fact, on top of that Porzings is ruled out and won't play. Can't say i expect Grizzlies to pull an upset here, though a close game is in the realm of possibilities, and Valanciunas vs. Kleber/Powell seems like a decent spot, hence the 20+ pts/reb for the Lithuanian.

Gl, everyone!  

Live: Houston Rockets vs Chicago bulls

I picked bulls winning the game. Look Coby white on fire now, he gets 11 pts until minutes 3 same as john wall. I hope Coby always consistent in this game.

Once again, the Lakers lose a game and my bet with it.  It's now their 3rd losing streak.
Lebron should've looked for a better option.
KCP is red hot on the 3 point line with a 50 percent to shoot it.
Maybe I'll just wait for AD to come back and then I'll start betting for them again. 

1-1 last night thanks to the Lakers.  For as Good as lebron is how does he still suck at free throws.  Had a chance to go up one with 9 seconds left and missed a free throw.  Across the entire nba I dont know why people can't hit free throws.  No defense, known exact spot everytime, no excuse for everyone to be 80% or better.  Maybe just a little bitter since my ML didn't hit lol.  Tonight all in with the nets ML 1.39 odds.  Nets are on fire right now and with sac playing on the other side of the country counting on a little fatigue. 

Nets nets and more nets.  ML isn't bad at 1.39, they seemed to play some close games lately so maybe not the full line.  Either way I like kyrie/harden/Harris for 90 pts.  Will need about 30 points from the rest of the team and they should be fine.  Rest of the matchups I dont have a good feeling one way or another right now.

After much deliberation, I've decided to have my bet on Golden State Warriors vs New York Knicks, I'll be backing the Warriors -3.5 today, Knicks have better form and Warriors have back to back defeats, but I have no doubt they'd cover tonight.

^ Looks good on paper, Warriors are getting back two of their bigs today (Wiseman and Looney), which should be of help against Randle and Noel.
The only thing that worries me is that GSW has a shitty away record sitting at 5-9 and the Knicks can be dangerous at home, though they don't have any memorable wins against good teams, maybe the Bucks but that was back in December i think. Anyway, good luck both of you with the spread and the ml.

Here's what i got without any details/additional writeup:

Magic ml + Bucks ml + Clippers ml total odds 2.00 lost

Tatum 20+ pts + Tatum O4.5 rebounds + Brown O2.5 assists total odds 1.80 won

Simmons 20+ pts/reb/ast + VanVleet O2.5 rebounds + Siakam O3.5 assists total odds 1.80 won

Everyone betting on my knicks.  Got to rember this is the first game back with fans for the knicks.  If this game is tight near the end the emotional push might be enough for them.  That all follows them trying to stop steph from lighting up msg.  Hoping the knicks can pull this out they need to start getting over .500

Edit: first shot 3pt from steph lol.
