Filip fell in love with the game of basketball at a very early age when he saw the 1996 Chicago Bulls win their first of three upcoming championships. Recordings of NBA games in Europe at that time were rare, but with the power of dial-up internet and VHS tapes he was able to follow the NBA closely ever since. The 2023/24 season is his 4th year with Pickswise as a handicapper. He lives and breathes basketball, spending most of his days either watching last night’s games or doing research on upcoming ones. He is a huge believer in the modern-day analytical approach to betting and he hopes his perspective and analysis can make Pickswise followers' wagering decisions a bit easier.

Greatest Betting Win
Since joining Pickswise back in the 2020/21 season, I’ve landed plenty of winners, but 3 of them stick out for me the most. The first one is from March of 2021 when the Houston Rockets were able to end a 20-game losing streak against the Toronto Raptors. I backed them at 4/1 odds as a 3-star rating, cashing around $120. I also remember cashing on all 8 of my spread and total picks one night during the 2022/23 NBA season, without of doubt my most successful day when it comes to those markets.
Greatest Achievements
I remember having a Same Game Parlay on one of the Brooklyn Nets games where I had both Durant and Irving to score 40+ points. I can’t remember the specific game, but the bet did land at 37/1 odds and it was just a great feeling to deliver such a big winner for our Pickswise followers.

With 2 losses in 3 games, the Cavaliers have slowed down a bit, but luckily for them their next 5 opponents are all teams with losing records — so bouncing back should be easy. First up, they have a back-and-forth with the Dallas Mavericks, with the first game taking place in Texas on Friday night. This has been a matchup dominated by the Cavs over the past 3 years, as they swept the regular season series in each of those 3 seasons. The last 2 meetings were decided by 43 and 12 points, while Cleveland has been able to cover the spread consistently in games played in Dallas — doing so 4 times in 5 visits. Jarrett Allen and Max Struss are the only notable injury absentees here, whether or not that has an impact on this game remains to be seen.

The Mavs just ended an 8-game losing streak last night by beating the Memphis Grizzlies on the road. It was only their 3rd win since January 24th, accompanied by 18 losses. Cooper Flagg’s play since the injury has put his Rookie of the Year campaign in jeopardy, as he’s averaging just 16.3 points on pedestrian efficiency numbers (34% from the field and 25% from three). With this being a 2nd night of a back-to-back, I wouldn’t be surprised if Flagg was kept out of this game. In these back-to-back spots, the Mavericks are just 5-6 SU in 11 games this season.

This is Cleveland’s game to lose. Allen not playing hurts them a bit in the rebounding department, but with a healthy Donovan Mitchell and a motivated James Harden, they should be able to put up enough points to cover here. Dallas has lost 3 in a row when playing with no rest, with 2 of those losses being by 20 and 19 points. Go with the Cavs here.

NY Knicks -13.5(-110)

A new chapter in the Knicks vs Pacers rivalry is set to unfold on Friday, with the regular season series tied at 1-1 between these teams. Considering the state the Pacers are in right now, you’d think this would be a cakewalk for the Knicks. However, with those first two meetings being decided by just 1 and 3 points and the Pacers winning at MSG, the Knicks will have to proceed with caution here. The injury situation in Mike Brown’s camp isn’t the best either, as both Karl-Anthony Towns and Josh Hart are questionable to play with knee issues.

The oddsmakers aren’t kind at all to the Pacers here and you can’t really blame them. Indy enters this game as a +13.5 underdog, mainly because of their recent form, but also due to the fact that they’ll be playing on the 2nd night of a back-to-back scenario here. Ivica Zubac finally made his debut for the team in last night’s double-digit loss to Phoenix, while the injury report for tonight’s game has Obi Toppin, T.J. McConnell, Aaron Nesmith and Pascal Siakam all officially listed out. If you’re wondering who will take the floor for the Pacers in this game, you are not alone.

Normally I’d think twice before backing the Knicks to cover here given the history between the two teams. However, with the state of the Pacers being really bad at the moment, I have my doubts they can keep things close here. Their last 5 games have seen them allow 120+ points 4 times and with most of their starters out here, I do not believe they’ll be able to contain Jalen Brunson and the rest of the Knicks. New York is 10-4 SU in 14 road games and has covered in 6 of 8 overall. Back the Knicks.
