Chamberlain, Kobe... and Luka Doncic

Image
Josh Green, the Australian forward, said the experience surpassed even the most epic video game nights after his teammate put up 73 points . “Not even in 2K have I seen anything like it.” His coach, Jason Kidd, remembered what James Harden said about himself being the game system of his teams: “ If some are the system, he is directly our game plan. ” Luka Doncic, on the other hand, focused on the fact that his Mavericks had lost three in a row and the waters were uneven, between skids and troubles with referees and fans: “ Things were not going well, and I was focused on us winning the game .” Of course, he also said that “probably” this had been the best game of his career. Probably yes , Luka. The Dallas Mavericks, with a record of 25-20, won against the Atlanta Hawks with a score of 148-143 . The victory helped them break the losing streak of three consecutive defeats. Luka Doncic, the Mavericks’ star player, led the team to victory with 73 points, 10 rebounds, and 7 assists. He ...

Thunder vs Pelicans Picks, Predictions & Odds Tonight - NBA

Image
The Oklahoma City Thunder head to the Big Easy to take on the New Orleans Pelicans this Friday night in an intriguing matchup between two of the top teams in the Western Conference.  The Thunder are winners of four in a row, coming off a blowout victory over the San Antonio Spurs in the much-anticipated matchup between rookie phenoms Chet Holmgren and Victor Wembanyama. They’ll be NBA odds underdogs against the Pelicans tonight, however, and will have to play a complete game to keep their streak alive. New Orleans is fresh off a dominant win against the Utah Jazz, riding the newly reemphasized playmaking of Zion Williamson. They’re one of the few teams in the West with as deep a roster as the Thunder, which should make for an interesting chess match. My NBA picks and predictions for Thunder vs. Pelicans believe that when you dig into the numbers, it’s actually Oklahoma City that should be favored in this Friday, January 26 showdown. Thunder vs Pe...

NBA Parlay Picks & Predictions for Friday at +1024 odds, 1/26 | Pickswise

I delivered another big win for the Pickswise Nation last night as I cashed my Celtics vs Heat Same Game Parlay at +583 odds and will be looking to add to that again tonight, as an 8- Game slate comes our way on Friday. Let’s not waste any time and dive right into my NBA mega parlay for today’s action, but make sure you also read our  NBA picks for the rest of the matchups. Hawks ML (+108) Suns -4.5 (-114) Cavaliers ML (+188) NBA parlay odds: +1024 Atlanta Hawks ML over Dallas Mavericks (+108) Neither the Hawks nor the Mavericks have impressed lately, to put it mildly. Both are on 3- Game losing streaks and have been heavily derailed by injuries. There is a chance Trae Young might return for Atlanta though, which is why I’m giving them a slight edge here. Atlanta won both meetings last season, but what’s even more impressive is their record of 9-1 SU in the last 10 meetings at the State Farm Arena. If we expand that to the last 19 Game s head-to-head, the Hawks...

They are taking on a Kings team that is 10th in the league in the latter category. Tonight’s visitors are also in the top 10 of the league in pace during...

Nuggets vs Pacers Picks, Predictions & Odds Tonight - NBA

Image
The Indiana Pacers shoved a pile of chips into the center of the proverbial table when they traded for Pascal Siakam, and they're still waiting to get a good look at that hand, a wait that will extend into next week with star point guard Tyrese Haliburton once again sidelined by a hamstring injury. If Haliburton was in the lineup, tonight’s matchup with the Denver Nuggets would have been a tantalizing clash in styles. Instead, the Pacers are deserved home NBA odds underdogs, on a bit of a lull going against the defending champions amidst a quiet surge. Is there an avenue for Indiana to hang with Denver tonight?

The Sacramento Kings will try to snap a four-game losing streak when they welcome the Atlanta Hawks to town on Monday night. The skid is the Kings’ longest of the season but the NBA odds like their chances of ending that tonight against a short-handed Hawks team.
