# Ah Huang’s Poly Diary Day 13: Determined to Become the Best Polymarket NBA KOL in the Chinese Community!

Total disaster today, ended up being the ultimate reverse indicator. The Timberwolves were a bloody lesson, reminding us to always set a 98 or 99 stop-profit order when betting on sports. So many upsets in cup games, it’s really tough to play. Tomorrow, I’ll focus on just two games. This does not constitute investment advice, please don’t blindly follow my picks, DYOR.

1⃣ Clippers vs Hornets

Both teams currently have 4 wins and 11 losses. This is undoubtedly a crucial battle for both sides to stop their losing streaks. On the Hornets’ side, LaMelo Ball’s offensive efficiency has really dropped lately, shooting under 30% in the past 5 games, but as the team’s brain he’s still averaging 9 assists per game, keeping the team’s pace up. Bridges remains the most reliable finisher, with his impact at the forward position as the team’s foundation. More importantly, the Hornets rely heavily on pace and chaotic play; at home they can really maximize their streaky, explosive style—if their outside shooting gets hot, their firepower is not to be underestimated.

The Clippers are in turmoil. Kawhi Leonard is confirmed out with an ankle injury—a devastating blow on both ends of the floor. With Beal and Jones out long-term, their rotation depth is stretched thin. Now it’s fully Harden as the solo core; though he’s averaged 32 points in the last 5 games, age is a factor, and overuse will inevitably lead to declining efficiency. Zubac has some dominance inside, but against a fast-paced, perimeter-heavy team like the Hornets, his foot speed could easily become a defensive liability.

I think without their defensive anchor, it’s hard for the Clippers to contain the Hornets’ chaotic tempo. Plus, both teams play fast, so this could turn into a wild shootout, giving the Hornets a solid chance to win in the chaos.

Pick: Hornets win + Over 228.5

2⃣ Bucks vs Pistons

Without Giannis, the Bucks are a completely different team and have now lost three in a row. Giannis will need at least another week before returning. In the last game, they were overturned by the 76ers, and tomorrow they’ll face a full-strength Pistons squad with Cunningham and Duren—currently the hottest team in the league, riding an 11-game win streak and beating the spread every game. Even as road underdogs against the Giannis-less Bucks, the books are still giving them strong support, showing their confidence. I like the red-hot Pistons to easily cover and beat the Bucks big.

Pick: Pistons win
