Love or hate LeBron James, you cannot deny that he is one of the greatest basketball players to ever grace the hardwood and our sports betting lives.
The man is an unstoppable machine that continues to defy logic and betting odds. Despite being constantly pulled down by betting websites due to the intense level of competition in the NBA, he continues doing what he does best: dominate.
Against Toronto on a busy night of basketball action, he reminded us why he is the King.
Toronto Raptors 129-132 Cleveland Cavaliers
This game was the perfect platform for King James to exhibit his sheer genius in basketball.
The Raptors were ahead by as much as 15 points during the second half, but an inspired 35-point, 7-rebound, and 17-assist performance from James helped the Cavaliers overcome the ditch and run away with the win. Kevin Love’s 23 points and 12 boards also helped in neutralizing Toronto’s fantastic team ball.
Memphis Grizzlies 105-119 Philadelphia 76ers
Memphis didn’t waste any time and immediately went back to the business of losing gloriously. The opponents who had the honour of handing them this defeat is the young Sixers. Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons didn’t even have to play extended minutes as the ragtag Grizzlies struggled to score.
Charlotte Hornets 111-105 Brooklyn Nets
LeBron may take the headlines, but there’s another noteworthy performance that also deserves attention and praise.
Dwight Howard definitely drank some of Michael Jordan’s secret stuff after putting on a monster 32-30 performance to overturn a huge 23-point lead made by D’Angelo Russell and the Brooklyn Nets. I will be quite surprised if the Hornets let him go next season after his return to form.
New York Knicks 98-119 Miami Heat
Enes Kanter and Michael Beasley tried to give the New York faithful a bit of a morale boost, but they just don’t play the same without Kristaps Porzingis. The Miami Heat had an easier time dominating for most of the game before ending the game with a 21-point lead.
Indiana Pacers 92-96 New Orleans Pelicans
The Smoothie King Center saw a close contest between the Pacers and the Pelicans. Anthony Davis and Victor Oladipo lead their teams by scoring 28 and 21 points respectively and instilling their will on the floor. However, it’s due to the little things made by the rest of the team that helped the Pelicans secure the W.
Denver Nuggets 135-102 Chicago Bulls
The Nuggets erased whatever humiliation they experienced in their loss to the Grizzlies by overwhelming the Bulls with their play. With Zach LaVine and Lauri Markkanen out with injuries, the Bulls could do nothing but lay down the carpet for Nikola Jokic to do what he does best.
LA Clippers 127-120 Milwaukee Bucks
The Clippers could have easily lost this game against the Bucks if they weren’t able to keep on scoring. However, Giannis Antetokounmpo had to leave the game due to an ankle sprain, leaving the game wide open for DeAndre Jordan and friends. They managed to nullify Khris Middleton and Jabari Parker’s efforts for the well-earned W.
Washington Wizards 90-98 San Antonio Spurs
The Wizards have been playing quality basketball despite the absence of John Wall, thanks to the superb efforts of Bradley Beal and Kelly Oubre Jr. However, the two didn’t do enough to rattle LaMarcus Aldridge and the Spurs. Aldridge’s 27 points led the Spurs’ team ball to a fantastic run throughout the second half.
