Mavericks VS Wizards
Vice squad leader battle, Mavericks win away game against Wizards
American Professional Basketball League Mavericks VS Wizards (+4.5)
Recommendation: Handicap win
The Mavericks just lost to the Grizzlies today. After four consecutive losses, they are at the bottom of the Western Conference with a record of 2 wins and 7 losses. In today's game, Flagg, the top pick, still performed poorly. He only scored 12 points, and only 2 points in the second half. So far this season, he is far from reaching the heights expected by the fans. In addition, the team's insider Gafford also retired early due to injury today. As a result, their three major insiders, Gafford and Lively, have all suffered from injuries.
The Wizards are currently in a bad situation and have lost seven games in a row. They are currently at the bottom of the Eastern Conference with a record of 1 win and 8 losses. The team's performance this season is still very poor, but Sarr's performance has improved significantly. So far this season, he has averaged 18.9 points and 7.9 rebounds per game, both of which are the highest in the team. The team's main backcourt McCollum's performance has been ups and downs so far this season, averaging only 13.1 points per game. Koulibaly and Keshawn George will be absent from tomorrow's game.
In terms of handicap, the visiting team has a handicap of 4.5 points. Considering the current situation of the two teams, both teams have suffered a losing streak and are at the bottom of the division. Tomorrow's game is bound to be very fierce. However, the defense of the Mavericks is obviously better than that of the Wizards. The author is optimistic that the Mavericks can take the lead in stopping the decline in the away game, and recommend a handicap win.
Raptors VS 76ers
Stop the decline, the 76ers defeated the Raptors at home
American Professional Basketball League Raptors VS 76ers (-4.5)
Recommendation: Handicap win
The Raptors just defeated the Hawks today and won four consecutive victories. They are currently ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference with a record of 5 wins and 4 losses. The team's offensive and defensive performance this season is not bad. They are all above the league average. With mainly young players, they average 19.9 fast break points per game, ranking first in the league. Ingram, Barrett and Barnes all average 20+ points per game, but their biggest problem is that they are not stable enough.
The 76ers have recently recovered and suffered two consecutive losses. They are currently ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference with a record of 5 wins and 3 losses. In the last game they lost to the Cavaliers, due to Embiid's absence, the opponent was completely destroyed in the paint. Although Maxi played steadily and won With 27 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists, Grimes also scored 27 points on the bench, but Edgecombe was in a sluggish state. He only made 3 of 14 in the game, 0 of 5 three-pointers, and only scored 7 points. McCain and George will be absent from tomorrow's game.
In terms of handicap, the home team has a handicap of 4.5 points. Considering the current situation of the two teams, the Raptors have just won a good winning streak. However, their young core status has fluctuated greatly and their substitute firepower is also lacking. The 76ers' back line is full of impact. The author believes that it is difficult for the Raptors to continue their winning streak on the road, so I recommend handicap to win.
Lakers VS Hawks
Continue the momentum, the Lakers captured the Hawks away game
American Professional Basketball League Lakers VS Hawks (+3.5)
Recommendation: Handicap win
The Lakers have been in good shape recently and have won five consecutive games. They are currently ranked second in the Western Conference with a record of 7 wins and 2 losses. The team has shown good combat effectiveness this season. Although James has not played, and Doncic and Reeves have also been playing intermittently, but role players can always step up in time to share the pressure. Ayton, Rui Hachimura, Laravia and Smart all performed well. James, Vincent and Reeves will be absent from tomorrow's game.
The Hawks just lost to the Raptors today and are currently ranked ninth in the Eastern Conference with a record of 4 wins and 5 losses. The team's defensive performance this season is not bad, but the offensive decline has been obvious, especially after Trae Young was injured.
In terms of sports betting handicap, the visiting team has a handicap of 3.5 points. Considering the current situation of the two teams, the Lakers are in a good winning streak. Although Reeves is missing the game, Doncic's state is reassuring. The biggest problem for the Hawks is the offense. The author believes that the Lakers have a chance to continue their winning streak and recommend the handicap to win away.
Bulls VS Cavaliers

American Professional Basketball League Bulls VS Cavaliers (-8.5)
Recommendation: Handicap winner
The Bulls just lost to the Bucks today and are currently ranked second in the Eastern Conference with a record of 6 wins and 2 losses.

In terms of sports betting handicap, the home team has a handicap of 8.5 points. Considering the current situation of the two teams, the Bulls have experienced ups and downs in their decline, and the problem of lack of absolute strong points has gradually emerged. The Cavaliers' lineup is becoming more and more complete. The author believes that it is difficult for the Bulls to retreat in the away game. I recommend the handicap to win..
Trail Blazers VS Heat
The Trail Blazers are full of energy and the Heat's lineup is incomplete and they lose at home
National Basketball League Trail Blazers VS Heat (+1.5)
Recommendation: Handicap away win
The Trail Blazers' performance since the start of this season is quite surprising. They are currently ranked fifth in the Western Conference with 5 wins and 3 losses. In the last game, they gave the Thunder their first defeat 121-119. This season the Trail Blazers mainly play fast. Avdija has become the team's main scorer with an average of 24.4 points per game. Grant has swept away the sluggish state of last season and averaged 20.3 points per game. Sharp, Holiday and Kamara also averaged double figures per game. Yang Hansen does not have many opportunities as the team currently shows good competitiveness.
The Heat have been relatively stable since the start of the season, but injuries are still a big problem for the team this season. Hiero has not yet returned from injury, and now Adebayor is also missing due to injury. The Heat easily defeated the Hornets 126-108 in the last game. In this game, Powell scored 25 points, Wiggins scored 22 points, and Larson scored 19 points. Huskers has played a very important role as the team's sixth man this season, averaging 17.4 points per game this season.
The lottery index for this game has the Trail Blazers handicap by 1.5 points. Although the Trail Blazers are relatively young, they have shown good form recently. The Heat are currently injured and absent two of their main players. It is estimated that the impact on strength is not small. It is expected that the Trail Blazers can continue the momentum and win away from home. It is recommended to win away from home with a handicap.
Pelicans VS Spurs
With the Pelicans’ main player absent, the Spurs won a big victory at home
National Basketball League Pelicans VS Spurs (-12.5)
Recommendation: Handicap win
The Pelicans have bottomed out recently and won 2 consecutive victories. The Pelicans started to lose their way not long after the start of the season. Currently, Zion and Poole are the main players of the two teams. All scoring points were injured and missed. In the last game against the Mavericks, 6 players on the team scored in double figures. Bay scored a team-high 22 points. Murphy had a poor touch and only scored 11 points. Rookie Fiers scored 13 points and 5 rebounds. Jones scored 12 points.

Castle contributed 14 points, 6 rebounds and 13 assists. There are currently many talented young people in the Spurs lineup, and they have become more and more mature after two seasons of polishing. They have also shown considerable competitiveness this season.
The betting index for this game has the Spurs handicap of 12.5 points. The Pelicans are currently limited in strength and two main scorers are absent. The Spurs are in good form. It is expected that the Spurs will easily win at home. It is recommended to win with a handicap.
Pacers VS Nuggets
Jokic kills everyone, Nuggets beat Pacers at home
National Basketball League Pacers VS Nuggets (-13.5)
Recommendation: Handicap win
The Pacers have suffered two consecutive losses recently. The Pacers have been significantly affected by injuries this season. Haliburton is still recovering from injuries. Marcelin, who performed well at the beginning, was injured and suspended after playing two games. Toppin and Jackson have also been injured and missed recently. Siakam currently averages 25.6 points, 8.1 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game and is the team's top scorer. Although there are many other players with good scoring abilities, they are still not stable enough, so the overall strength of the team is still relatively limited.
The Nuggets, led by Jokic, have been in good form recently and have won three consecutive games. Jokic is still very dominant on the court. In the game that easily defeated the Warriors, Jokic scored 26 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists in the third quarter, a near-triple double. Murray scored 23 points and 8 assists, and Gordon scored 18 points. This season, the offensive end continues to evolve and has become a very important scoring point for the team. Valanciunas also performed well as Jokic's substitute, filling the vacancies in the team's interior when Jokic was resting.
The sports betting index for this game has the Nuggets handicap of 13.5 points. It can be said that the strength gap between the two teams is relatively large now, and the Pacers are not very strong inside. Although the Nuggets are fighting back-to-back, winning is not a big problem. I am optimistic about the Nuggets' home victory, and recommend the point handicap to win.
Suns VS Clippers
Harden can't stand it alone. The Suns beat the Clippers again in an away game.
American Professional Basketball League Suns VS Clippers (-4.5)
Recommendation: Handicap.
The two teams have just met. The Suns defeated the Clippers 115-102 in the last game. In this game, the Suns fully blossomed, with 6 players scoring in double figures. Jaylen Green had a good answer in his debut, scoring 29 points in only 23 minutes of play. Booker scored 24 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, Allen scored 18 points, O'Neal scored 17 points, and Mawei scored 13 points and 10 rebounds. After the addition of Jaylen Green, the Suns have a chance to set off another youth storm.
The Clippers recently suffered a three-game losing streak. Soon after the start of the new season, they felt that the team was showing some signs of aging. The team let go of Powell and brought in Bill. Bill's current performance is unsatisfactory. In the last game, with Harden and Leonard absent, Bill made only 2 of 14 shots and scored only 5 points. Zubac scored 23 points and 11 rebounds, Christie scored 17 points off the bench, Bogdanovic scored 12 points, and Collins scored 13 points.
The betting index for this game has the Clippers handicap by 4.5 points. Leonard will continue to be absent in the next game, and Harden is expected to play. However, according to the current state, Harden's team may not be able to get revenge. On the contrary, the young combination of Booker and Jaylen Green is more trustworthy. It is expected that the Suns will beat the Clippers in an away game, and it is recommended to lead the team by points.
