I don't really know what to pick at any of the 5 matches we have tonight, so I'll go with 2 singles on player performances at the Houston Rockets vs. Portland Trail Blazers game: 

James Harden over 30.5 points@1.80 

Damian Lillard over 30.5 points@1.88, both bets at Unibet.

 GL all :)

I play over/ under too and I agree that are many surprises in the league but it's actually damn important to win as many games as possible as at the end of the 82 games it's not only important to be in the first 8 ranks of each Conference but the actual rank too(the home advantage in the Playoff is way more important than it is in the regular season).

Thanks for following the thread  and be sure to bet on  picks (he seems really good at betting on NBA matches) ,of course you are more then welcome to add your picks too and let's just try to have fun and make some profit together 

It was worth playing on Clippers at that odds ;)

BTW, seems like we have something in common : both terrible at basketball bets 

Might be surprising for some of you but I actually gave tips on NBA for a few years on a site and never had a season without at least 100 units profit(I place all my bets with a flat stake of 1u). Down to -5u so far this 2 weeks and I might go for a few small combos or like yesterday more singles per day, to at least break even this month... hopefully it will work ok, if not rest assured we'll do better in the next months ;)

Indiana Pacers vs. Cleveland Cavaliers Cavs(-4.5)@ 1.93 

Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Houston Rockets 2@ 1.97

Toronto Raptors vs. Golden State Warriors Warriors(-4.5)@ 1.85

Los Angeles Clippers vs. Memphis Grizzlies Clippers(-12.5)@ 1.94

The day was pretty weird... LeBron was rested (no injury at all, also this was announced late in the evening), Houston seemed in control of the game and had 7 pts lead in the 4th Q but somehow missed pretty much everything (even easy passes or layups) and allowed OKC to win, at Clippers I have nothing to comment about... even the bet on Warriors was won with luck as somehow the 18 pts lead in the 4th Q was cut down to 4 pts with 10 sec to play... 

PS. I'll try to give my picks a bit later in the day from now on(2-3 hours before the games will start), to avoid the kind of situation we were at Indiana Pacers vs. Cleveland Cavaliers when a key player was rested unexpectedly. Good luck all!

good luck , I avoided this match despite that I wanted to place a bet on Nishikori too- the reason was the match against Tsonga, when after a 6-0 in the first set and serving for the match in the deciding set(with 40:15 if I remember correctly) he ended up losing the encounter...

I ended up playing 4 singles:

Indiana Pacers vs. Cleveland Cavaliers Cavs(-4.5)@ 1.93 

Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Houston Rockets 2@ 1.97

Toronto Raptors vs. Golden State Warriors Warriors(-4.5)@ 1.85

Los Angeles Clippers vs. Memphis Grizzlies Clippers(-12.5)@ 1.94

Good luck!

Miami Heat vs. Atlanta Hawks Hawks(-5.5)@1.78 -> Hawks won but only by 3 points 93:90

Los Angeles Lakers vs. Brooklyn Nets Nets' Brook Lopez over 20.5 points(including overtime)@ 1.80 -> Lopez scored 30 points but Lakers still won 125:118

I'll be back later with 1 or 2 picks...

Great results even now that the season in mostly over ... let's see if we can make a little profit with Raonic too, the Canadian had many chances to take the lead in the 1st set too bad he missed all of them... but in tiebreak he should be favorite too

In the end even if the bet will be lost, for sure was worth playing something on Raonic...

I'll try a 2nd bet for tonight, tho I don't usually pick this kind of bets:

Los Angeles Lakers vs. Brooklyn Nets Nets' Brook Lopez over 20.5 points(including overtime)@ 1.80 at Unibet

Lopez sit out Monday's game against the Clippers not due to an injury but because he was rested for tonight's game- also in the same arena but against an easier opponent; IMO the Lakers should win this game but I think a healthy and fully fit Brook Lopez can go easily over the line offered...

*update

Miami Heat vs. Atlanta Hawks Hawks(-5.5)@1.78

I placed a bet on Murray/Soares too but live and the odds I got was @1.55 at break points in first set... still it was easy, no problem on Murray/Soares serve and they also returned well- they look in good form and maybe they can even win the tournament :D

Utah Jazz vs. Memphis Grizzlies Jazz(-5.5)@ 1.84

---

The bet was lost but I still think that the Grizzlies don't have enough to compete in the league and this win was just an accident: except Marc Gasol-32 yo in Jan- and Mike Conley-29 yo-; the rest of the squad is formed either by old players (Vince Carter- 40yo in Jan-, Zach Randolf 35yo...) or players that can't go back to a form showed in previous seasons or at other teams(I liked Parsons a lot when he played at Houston and Dallas but now he's just a shadow of that player, Green is in a similar situation coming from Spurs but playing bellow expectations so far...). 

I already picked the next game but no odds at Unibet yet: Miami Heat vs. Atlanta Hawks Hawks(-5.5)*probably odds around 1.8 : Miami is just a shadow of the team that dominated the East: Wade and LeBron left the club, Bosh will retire due to injury problems and Erik Spoelstra can't do much with the players he has in the squad now; Atlanta has a good squad overall and it will be interesting to see how they'll perform this season- the start was great so far with 7 wins and 2 losses

Utah Jazz vs. Memphis Grizzlies Jazz(-5.5)@ 1.84

I watched the Grizzlies a few times and they are pretty weak(IMO they form one of the weakest team in the league this season and I'll be surprised if they manage to make an 0.300 record); Utah on the other hand has a good squad with some interesting young players(like guards Rodney Hood and Dante Exum, center Rudy Gobert, forward Trey Lyles) and a few more experienced and quality players like George Hill(expected to play tonight after he missed last 4 games with a thumb injury), Gordon Hayward... also, Jazz had a good start of season and at Vivint Smart Home Arena they are usually tough to beat.

*Update- the odds changed from 1.74 to 1.84 but I still stand with the pick and of course better odds are great :d

Don't lose faith , Unibet is for sure a great site to play... anyway, good luck in the future with poker and/ or other games ;)

Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Charlotte Hornets Cavaliers(-5.5)@ 1.59 

---

Not as easy as I expected but I blame coach Tyronn Lue for his weird way to handle the rotation for this game(tho he's still young and just at the 2nd season as head-coach); still a great 4th quarter made by King James + Channing Frye and the Cavs managed to win 100-93... 

 from what you wrote it means that good poker players should play at Unibet as there are many weak players... you can't win often with this kind of trash hands; just don't go on tilt when it happens to lose like that and lose your bankroll 

good luct at the tables :D

Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Charlotte Hornets Cavaliers(-5.5)@ 1.59 

IMO the hosts have a way better squad and despite the fact that the Hornets also started the season really well, I expect an easy win for the Cavs...

Houston Rockets vs. San Antonio Spurs 2@ 1.82

Tony Parker was back in the win against Detroit and that means for tonight the visitors will have the full squad available... not an easy match to predict but I'll go with the Spurs to take a little "revenge"after the last H2H match (lost at home 99-101) and to keep a perfect record so far on the road.

Anthony was tossed with 4:44 left in the second quarter by referee Tony Brothers. He received the first technical when he said something to Brothers following a loose ball foul call. Brothers walked away, but Anthony trailed behind and kept talking. He was then hit with the second technical.
Prior to his ejection, Anthony was New York's most efficient player in the first half, shooting 5 of 8 from the field.

The war of words continued after the game, when Anthony’s wife, La La, took to Twitter to claim that official Tony Brothers “hates” Carmelo and “always has.” According to Brothers, both technicals came due to “bad language.” Brothers denied that the two had a history when prompted.

 Games can be decided by controversial refereeing decisions in NBA too  

Boston Celtics vs. New York Knicks 2@ 3.05

I see lots of value on the Knicks to win tonight: Al Horford and Jae Crowder will miss this game for the hosts and the Celtics are in pretty bad form lately (lost last 3 games and allowed ~118 pts/ game); the visitors have a pretty strong squad (Carmelo, the youngster Porzingis*a damn good center, Derrick Rose, Brandon Jennings, Noah...)  and I expect them to have a good season... GL!

I still can't understand how the Kings lost last night: they seemed in total control of the game and lead for 35 minutes, the biggest lead was even 19 points ... well, I guess that's why we love NBA and it's nice to watch such comebacks if you don't have a bet on the losing team 

sick... everyone goes All In with pretty much any 2 in this freerolls... tough luck 

Good luck ... both of us can still win :D

LA Clippers started really well this season and already played 1 match against Portland in the regular season (won on the road 114:106)... IMO Clippers(-5.5)@ 1.45 is a pretty safe bet :)

LA Clippers won easily 111-80 

For tonight I'll go again with 1 game, this month I'll take it slow as it seems like I can't stay away :D - Sacramento Kings vs. Los Angeles Lakers Kings(-5.5)@ 1.91
