San Antonio Spurs @ Portland Trail Blazers: San Antonio Spurs (- 3.5) /// 1.85
Last bet lost. By the way, Detroit made 8 more shots than Boston in this game thanks to some very quality ballhandling play. Yes, the Pistons lost rebounds, but it was obvious when it became clear that Detroit's main center Jalen Duren would not play against the Celtics. But Boston hit 13 more three-point shots, so it's no surprise that the score difference is 24 points. Derrick White has a season high in three-point shots (while in the last 3 games he has only hit 5 three-point shots on 26 attempts). When I bet against Boston, the players of this team show Hall of Fame level performance, but when I bet on the Celtics, Derrick White shows a 28.6% shooting percentage? Probably because I'm a Lakers fan and they read my predictions. 🤣 I have no other explanation. My betting score is MLB 101-93 in favor of successful, NBA 114-139 in favor of unsuccessful, NHL 3-9 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL+NCAAF 3-10 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: San Antonio Spurs on the road will beat Portland Trail Blazers by 4 points or more. Victor Wembanyama has already returned from injury, so I expect San Antonio will fight for a top-10 spot in the West standings. There are some injury problems, but the starting five is almost optimal (only Stephon Castle will not play). Role players Zach Collins, Keldon Johnson and Tre Jones are also injured. But San Antonio has enough bench depth, so Charles Bassey and Devin Vassell will get more playing time, and Jeremy Sochan will play in the starting five (and it will only increase the team defense level). Portland has serious problems with their centers, as the participation of Deandre Ayton, Robert Williams III, Donovan Clingan and Duop Reath is questionable. By the way, there are no more centers in the Trail Blazers roster. But what is clear is that even if Deandre Ayton will play, I doubt that he will be able to play reliably against Victor Wembanyama (who is the main offensive threat) with a micro-injury. Bet? Sure! 😎😉

Houston Rockets @ Oklahoma City Thunder: Oklahoma City Thunder (- 5.5) /// 1.83
Last bet lost. Once again, it's the referee's fault! He gave 2 technical fouls in 11 seconds to San Antonio Spurs' main ballhandler Chris Paul in the first quarter! You can find this video of the ejection on YouTube and just read the comments (absolutely all fans think both technical fouls were unwarranted). The first technical foul was for Chris Paul for throwing the ball to the referee after a backcourt violation, and the second technical foul the referee gave CP3 for his saying, and I quote: “You're acting like the police!”.
That's completely ridiculous! Of course, it affected the final score: first, the referee gave 2 points to Portland for 2 technical fouls (let me remind you that it was 2 points that were not enough for my prediction to win!), and second, Chris Paul was ejected (and this is San Antonio's most effective offensive player with a season average of 8.4 assists per 1.8 turnovers!). My betting score is MLB 101-93 in favor of successful, NBA 114-140 in favor of unsuccessful, NHL 3-9 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL+NCAAF 3-10 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: Oklahoma City Thunder at home will beat Houston Rockets by 6 points or more. Western Conference NBA Cup Final! Yes, Houston undeservedly got into this final, as we all remember how the referees gave the Rockets 2 free throws in the game against Golden State with 3 seconds left in that game. Oklahoma has looked invincible this season. They destroyed Dallas in the NBA Cup semifinal, and all the games they've won at home this season have been by 6 points or more. Gilgeous-Alexander is well on his way to the MVP award this season. But I still have that 2019 Clippers management failure in front of my eyes when they traded Shai for Paul George and gave up 5 more first round picks to Oklahoma, which is how Thunder put together a dream team with Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams. So what about Houston? Yes, a very talented roster with a good defense, but that's not enough to stop Oklahoma. You want to bet? Sure! 😎😉

New Orleans Pelicans @ Indiana Pacers: Indiana Pacers (to win, but no more than 10 points handicap) /// 2.80
Last bet won. The result is fair! Houston played very weak and is not worthy to play in the NBA Cup Final against Milwaukee Bucks. Shai started the game badly on offense, but with his solid defense he covered all his misses: 5 steals and 1 block. The bad streak of my predictions is broken and I am very optimistic to keep winning. My betting score is MLB 101-93 in favor of successful, NBA 115-140 in favor of unsuccessful, NHL 3-9 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL+NCAAF 3-10 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: Indiana Pacers at home will beat New Orleans Pelicans, but not more than 10 points. This is a range bet! For the first time this season, I'm trying to not only predict the winner of the game, but also the range of winning points. I bet on range of points on PokerStars and this bet can be found at their betting site. Indiana is still playing unstable, but New Orleans is even worse, especially in road games. But the Pelicans will have their entire starting backcourt of CJ McCollum, Dejounte Murray, Trey Murphy III and Herbert Jones playing. These are very high level players! So yes, I expect Indiana to win, but the Pacers will probably decide everything in a clutch and win the game by 4-7 points. I think the entire game will be without either team dominating considerably. You want to bet? Sure! 😎😉

Utah Jazz @ Los Angeles Clippers: Utah Jazz (+ 9.5) /// 1.75
Last bet lost. The experiment failed. I won't bet on ranges anymore, although my main bet at 888 poker room was on Indiana winning by 4 points or more and the Pacers scoring at least 109 points for a good odds of 1.65. Still, I didn't expect to see such a weak offensive game from New Orleans. Everyone failed. Indiana hit three-point shots with a team realization of 42.1%, and role player Obi Toppin had a season high (4 three-point shots with 66.7% realization). But then again, this is a case where I'm happy with the bet losing, as my main bet won very easily. But I'm adding the loss to my stats, of course. My betting score is MLB 101-93 in favor of successful, NBA 115-141 in favor of unsuccessful, NHL 3-9 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL+NCAAF 3-10 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: Utah Jazz on the road won't lose to Los Angeles Clippers by more than 9 points. Too many injuries for the Clippers: Kawhi Leonard, Derrick Jones Jr., Terance Mann, Kobe Brown and P.J. Tucker will definitely not play against Utah. And if everyone has already accepted Kawhi's injury (and Kobe Brown and P.J. Tucker are not even the level of role players in the Clippers rotation), but the loss of Terance Mann and especially Derrick Jones Jr. is a serious blow to the defense. Oh, and these two players have very solid performances on offense too. Utah will play almost without injuries (only Jordan Clarkson's participation is questionable). I even like the Jazz's starting five more, to be honest. Question of motivation? The Clippers definitely have the advantage here, as Kawhi Leonard should be back soon and without him Los Angeles was able to stay in the top-10 teams in the West. Utah is probably not a Play-In contender again. But we saw last season how the Jazz also started the season badly, but then from December 14th through February 7th they won 19 of their 29 games! Yeah, then Utah went deep tanking and won only 5 games out of 30. The head-to-head stats would be incorrect if I included that period when Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert played for the Jazz, so I analyzed the last 9 games between these teams (when Utah started rebuilding). So of the last 9 games between these teams, Utah has not lost in 6 of them by more than 9 points. So yes, I expect a fully healthy Utah will struggle against a semi-reserved Clippers. Bet? Sure! 😎😉

Milwaukee Bucks @ Oklahoma City Thunder: Oklahoma City Thunder (- 2.5) /// 1.66
Last bet lost. Utah didn't play as bad as the Clippers were perfect. Los Angeles had a 53.8% team three-point shooting percentage (James Harden had 63.6% and 7 three-point shots hit, and Norman Powell had 71.4% and 5 three-point shots hit). Just some performances like that from the computer game NBA 2k. My betting score is MLB 101-93 in favor of successful, NBA 115-142 in favor of unsuccessful, NHL 3-9 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL+NCAAF 3-10 in favor of unsuccessful.
New Bet: Oklahoma City Thunder will beat Milwaukee Bucks in NBA Cup Final. This is an obvious bet given the weakness of the Eastern Conference at all, given the obvious regression of Khris Middleton (injury aftermath), Brook Lopez (36 years old and just can't keep up on defense anymore), Gary Trent Jr. (absolutely no defense). Yes, Giannis and Dame are all just fine as well, but we're talking about Oklahoma right now! The Thunder are an incredibly balanced team, a defensive monster team with a leader Shai Gilgeous-Alexander who will be competing with Nikola Jokic for this season's MVP award. And the Thunder have center Isaiah Hartenstein, who will be able to cover Giannis (well, or at least give the Greek a hard time). Bet? Sure! 😎😉

Toronto Maple Leafs @ Dallas Stars: Dallas Stars (to win, including overtime) /// 1.70
Last bet lost. It's too hard to comment when in the modern NBA the team more successful at 3-point shots wins by 16 points over the team that is more successful at defense and ballhandling. Again, the modern NBA is a 3-point shot contest. The game schemes? For what, when there are isolations. Doc Rivers has been yelling “cmon, play” his entire coaching career and it works! Milwaukee's absolutely mediocre defense (only Giannis played on defense and that was enough) beats the Western Conference contender only because Oklahoma hit 5 three-point shots on 32 attempts (and there were a lot of open shots). How can you even predict that? Oklahoma's worst offensive game was against Phoenix this season, where the Thunder scored 99 points. Against Milwaukee - 83 points. I can't explain that! Let's bet on the coin flip - there will be more logic, statistics and sports part. I have nothing more to comment on, as I can continue to write only obscene words. My betting score is MLB 101-93 in favor of successful, NBA 115-143 in favor of unsuccessful, NHL 3-9 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL+NCAAF 3-10 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: Dallas Stars at home will beat Toronto Maple Leafs (including overtime). Today is a pause in the NBA and that means I'm betting on the NHL again. The Western Conference's most successful home team will play against the Eastern Conference's 13th ranked team in road games. And the odds are almost even. It's hard to explain this anomaly. Yes, the head-to-head statistics are in Toronto's favor and that's the only main argument of the bookies. But for Maple Leafs will not play their main goaltender - Anthony Stolarz, who in the last 2 seasons has no less than 92.5% saves on average! Dallas has an almost optimal roster (only Tyler Seguin from the 2nd line will not play). Bet? Sure! 😎😉

100% facts and I agree that nobody could have predicted this in a Final(even if it's this 'weird' NBA Cup), many lost on this event and I was one of them too, but it is what it is, really good bet and odds- just not the outcome most of us have expected... I like the poker analogy: do we stop calling shoves preflop with AA just because we've lost like 5 times in a row?! NO, same with this bets, great pick and analyze and I know it sucks especially when it's not a good betting season, but this can happen quite often in Sports Betting / Poker* it happened to me a few times over the years and that's why I like to take breaks from both Sports Betting and Poker- even after winning periods- this W/ L runs can't last forever and IMO it's important to always make the best decisions you can, at least in my case it helps when I lose and I don't think it was because of a bad play(for poker) or a bad sports bet...john_entony said:

As always, thank you, Billy for your support! Since your last supportive message, I've posted a streak of 3 straight NBA wins. And I apologize that so far this NBA season I'm not giving the highest quality predictions. But I believe that things can be changed for the better, and I will be able to give some more series of successful NBA predictions in 4-5 straight games before the new MLB season starts. 😉BillyR23 said:

Chicago Bulls @ Boston Celtics: Chicago Bulls (+ 14.5) /// 1.87
Last bet lost. I don't even want to say much, as Dallas dominated the entire game, but because of the incredibly bad play of Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger (66.70% saves) we lost this prediction. I feel like it was Dallas who didn't have their primary goaltender playing, not Toronto. If I'm not mistaken, in the last 3-4 NHL bets, all of the goalies of the teams (that I bet on) have completely failed. My betting score is MLB 101-93 in favor of successful, NBA 115-143 in favor of unsuccessful, NHL 3-10 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL+NCAAF 3-10 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: Chicago Bulls on the road will not lose to Boston Celtics by more than 14 points. A very important role player for the Bulls is back in the roster and, yes, it's Lonzo Ball. Despite the low quality shooting, this is a prime ballhandler and an elite defender. The 14-point handicap is too high. The lineups are almost without injuries, with only a few players on both teams questionable. In the last 10 games between these teams, Chicago has been able to hold a 14-point handicap in 7 of them. Bet? Sure! 😎😉

Oklahoma City Thunder @ Miami Heat: Oklahoma City Thunder (- 2.5) /// 2.15
Last bet won. Very easily, as Chicago not only kept a 14 point handicap, but won the game against Boston. Unexpected, I agree, but Boston completely lost rebounds and they had too weak shot realization. My betting score is MLB 101-93 in favor of successful, NBA 116-143 in favor of unsuccessful, NHL 3-10 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL+NCAAF 3-10 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: Oklahoma City Thunder on the road will beat Miami Heat by 3 points or more. A very difficult game, as the Thunder have an away back-to-back. Oklahoma has no changes among the injured players after the game with Milwaukee, so the traditional starting five will play (yes, without Chet Holmgren, but the Thunder have been playing without him for a long time). Miami has problems with their role players: Nikola Jovic, Pelle Larsson and Josh Richardson are questionable (and most likely won't play). Oklahoma won both games last season quite comfortably by 7 and 8 points against Heat. Miami is traditionally unstable this season. They can win strong team like Cleveland, but at the same time, for example, they have already lost twice to Detroit. The Thunder won in Orlando again thanks to excellent defense and yes, again three-point shots were not the main criterion of success in that game. Still, I believe that Oklahoma will have a successful streak after their failure in the NBA Cup Final, and for that they need to beat Miami. You want to bet? Sure! 😎😉

Miami Heat @ Orlando Magic: Miami Heat (+ 3.5) /// 1.80
Last bet won. Very interesting game! Both Oklahoma and Miami showed, despite the turnovers, very high quality basketball. But the most important thing is that Miami lost their leader Jimmy Butler in the 1st quarter! And a very successful game of Oklahoma in shooting three-point shots - 41.2%. Those two factors are what allowed the Thunder to win today. But Miami struggled and looked very solid. Tyler Herro played especially well: double-double, 28 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, 0 turnovers and only 1 personal foul! Almost elite performance as a guard. My betting score is MLB 101-93 in favor of successful, NBA 117-143 in favor of unsuccessful, NHL 3-10 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL+NCAAF 3-10 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: Miami Heat on the road will not lose to Orlando Magic by more than 3 points. Yes, there is a chance that Jimmy Butler will play in the upcoming game. But for Orlando will definitely not play Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner and the participation of Jalen Suggs and Gary Harris is questionable. That means that will not play 2 leaders of Magic and the participation of the starting shooting guard and the best role player is questionable. And the bookies consider Orlando as the favorite? Miami has won 11 of the last 15 games between these teams. Bet? Sure! 😎😉

My betting score is MLB 101-93 in favor of successful, NBA 117-143 in favor of unsuccessful, NHL 3-10 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL+NCAAF 3-10 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: Miami Heat on the road will not lose to Orlando Magic by more than 3 points. Yes, there is a chance that Jimmy Butler will play in the upcoming game. But for Orlando will definitely not play Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner and the participation of Jalen Suggs and Gary Harris is questionable. That means that will not play 2 leaders of Magic and the participation of the starting shooting guard and the best role player is questionable. And the bookies consider Orlando as the favorite? Miami has won 11 of the last 15 games between these teams. Bet? Sure! 😎😉
NHL
Los Angeles Kings @ Washington Capitals: Washington Capitals (to win including overtime) /// 1.57
Last bet lost. How was it possible to lose the 4th quarter by 29 points to a half-reserved Orlando? It's the first time I've ever seen, honestly, when a team that was dominating played so feckless in a crucial part of the game. When I watched the game, I was a 100% sure that this was a winning prediction and even before the 4th quarter started, I was looking at the game schedule for today. Something unbelievable is happening this NBA season! And it's hard for me to explain these defeats. My betting score is MLB 101-93 in favor of successful, NBA 117-144 in favor of unsuccessful, NHL 3-10 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL+NCAAF 3-10 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: Washington Capitals will beat Los Angeles Kings at home. There are less than 2 hours until the game begins, so literally a few words. Yes, I'm taking a break from the NBA today, as after the Miami tragedy I have no desire to watch basketball unless I lose on the NHL. And today I want to not just win this prediction, but start a winning streak. Yes, a serious challenge, but I think it's realistic. You want to bet? Sure! 😎😉
