There are two situations that can make any online betting veteran sweat his palms in nervous excitement: blow-out games and fiercely fought contests that can go down to a few key possessions.
Whenever these types of games start, punters engaged in live betting either exclaim in joy or grunt in frustration. However, that’s just what makes the act of punting beautiful, right?
Today’s NBA games are no different in giving every participating punter a new sense of exhilaration that makes people feel alive.
Minnesota Timberwolves 87-98 Dallas Mavericks
The Mavericks are slowly finding their groove, beating the young Wolves of Minnesota by 11 points. Harrison Barnes had a terrible shooting night, but Wesley Matthews and Dirk Nowitzki were more than ready to cover his back.
New York Knicks 101-116 Toronto Raptors
The Knicks are definitely missing the presence of Kristaps Porzingis in this awful defeat. The Raptors freely scored on the floor, converting almost fifty percent of their shots. He and Derrick Rose cannot hope to carry this struggling New York squad on their own and something in the system has to change.
Milwaukee Bucks 98-111 Atlanta Hawks
A rather surprising result, the defeat of Milwaukee away from home saw strong scoring efforts from Dwight Howard and Kent Bazemore. Mike Dunleavy, the Kyle Korver replacement, was definitely motivated as he sank 4 of his 5 long-range bombs to end the night with 20 points.
Houston Rockets 137-112 Brooklyn Nets
The Rockets could have prevented the Nets from scoring this much if they are actually playing defence, but hey, why fix something that works? The woeful Brooklyn fans were at least treated to a front-row seat to the James Harden show. The MVP favourite clocked in 22 points, 11 boards and 11 assists in 31 minutes of play.
Oklahoma City Thunder 122-118 Sacramento Kings
The game is actually more of an OKC blowout than what the final score implies. The Thunder actually led by as much as 17 points during the second quarter on the back of another monster night for Russell Westbrook. However, DeMarcus Cousins and the Kings made a late-game push that didn’t pan out.
Chicago Bulls 108-104 Memphis Grizzlies
This game was a defensive showcase for both the Bulls and the Grizzlies. Neither side managed to get a 10-point lead at any point of the game. What settled the game in the Bulls’ favour was a strong game from bench wing player Doug McDermott to complement Jimmy Butler and the rest of the starters.
Detroit Pistons 102-97 Los Angeles Lakers
The Los Angeles Lakers were leading by as much as 14 at one point of this tight contest. What ruined the night for Luke Walton’s lads were strong scoring performances from the starters that were backed by the tough defence that the Pistons are slowly getting known for. A good scoring night from Nick Young could have flipped this game’s script.
