There is not much time left for a solid game: Cleveland Cavaliers - Dallas Mavericks. Mavericks are seen as the favourite team of this game now by the bookmakers. The odds are paying out like this: Cavs: 2.10, Mavericks: 1.76. Mavericks are in a good condition in their conference. Their place is secured for now but I can't say the same thing for Cavs. Because they have gone down to the seventh position in the standings and fighting for climbing to top 6 again. Maybe it will be hard but Cavs might have a chance here to win.

As of writing, the Cavaliers are in lead at 7 points after being down for at least 8 points max in the early minutes.

But knowing Mavericks, that shouldn't be a problem for them not to bounce back later in the game. If the Cavaliers will able to maintain their good ball rotation after redeeming the lead, they can probably win the game.

Anyways, too early to speculate as halftime is just approaching. If you think the Cavaliers will win, try betting on the Live Bet although it should be good timing when they are downed by 5-8 just a while ago.

... . On the other hand Embiid and Harden made a pretty good duo. They just lack of bench players who can score, they definitely need more points from other guys if they want to go on in play-offs.

The Sixers bench players outscored the Buck's second unit if you look at the stats. It's probably bad decision for Doc to have a starter play for 20 minutes and score only 2 points in one attempt. Maybe he needs to draw more plays and let the other guys get involved with scoring instead of relying heavily on Embiid and Harden.

That Bucks - Sixers game was like a preview of play-off games, both teams are good candidates to play in Conference finals. Bucks played last minutes better and won the game. Antetokounmpo is unstoppable. On the other hand Embiid and Harden made a pretty good duo. They just lack of bench players who can score, they definitely need more points from other guys if they want to go on in play-offs.

Lakers are at risk of not qualifying even in the play-in tournament.

They are ranked number 10 now and the Spurs have a great chance to replace them.
What are your thoughts about their situation guys? Looks like they are a complete failure already.

It is quite sure that they were always at risk of not even playing in the play-in. I mean look at the team now, they are very inconsistent and an exact opposite from the supposed superteam that would dominate the league.

They are now in the 11th spot and the San Antonio Spurs have successfully replaced them from the 10th seed. I can see that they will be consistent on losing on their upcoming games. How can I say so? Well, just look at the teams that they will face in the remaining games Grin

Both teams coming off a tough loss on the road against top teams in the West. No reported serious injuries so we can exopect a quality and close match. I would stay away from moneyline if I were you and just bet on total score or handicap.....

Stay away from Moneyline because the odds for both are the same?

I can't think of that as a reason why should we stay away if we have preferred a team to bet.

Well the odds was part of the reason I said that but I also mentioned the game would be close which is exactly what happened.

It's probably a different case if you have a favorite team since your biases could affect your decision but I don't find betting moneyline with almost similar odds as worthy when we're talking about games that could go either way. There are plenty of games to choose from.

It was a good game, both teams are exchanging 3 point shots in the last minutes of the game, the goal tending and then overturned the call, which was big for the 76ers. However, we can already tell that the Bucks are dictating the tempo, they make some good plays and therefore they deserve that win.

Correct, it was a good game, we might say that it is a playoff atmosphere. Sixers took the lead behind but it was not a lead that is safe as the Bucks keeps coming back. And when Giannis found his game, it was a matter of time that he will carry the Bucks on his shoulder again. And not only in offense, but that very important block shot and prevent the Sixers to force the game into overtime.

It was definitely not a goaltending, the ball was still going up and it did not hit the rim or the backboard which are the reasons why it could be a goaltending. I do not have a dog in this fight, I do not care about neither team so I can clearly say with objective eyes that it wasn't a goaltending.

However, it is also important to say that both teams are looking great for the playoffs, if they play at this level, it is easy to see at least one of these teams in the finals. Both are trying to avoid nets because even though they could beat them, it would be hard to face such a difficult team early on and be so tired to go on after that.

With that possible lose tonight for the Lakers, they are now much closer to being eliminated from the play-in tournament. They will fall to 31-44, same with the San Antonio Spurs which is currently on a hot 4-game winning streak, and since GB matters, they might end up in the 11th spot.

The Lakers roster and its management have already saw it coming that their chance in the playoffs this season is somehow slim than the previous seasons they had, surely this was the effect on their decision of bring WB in-exchange of 5 players including Alex Caruso but didn't expect either that they could be this failure and now they ended up on the 11th seed in the West. Their next 5 games will be up against the heavy teams in the league, so GL to them!

With Paul George making his comeback tonight against the Jazz you have to wonder how they'll be going into the playoffs. Anybody have any idea when Kawhi Leonard will return? With them having such a low seed, they could be a real menace to the #3 seed if they get Kawhi back. You'll be able to watch Paul George's return tonight on TNT, as the Clippers have the second game in a doubleheader tonight. First up is the Lakers vs the Mavericks, which should be a win for the Mavericks as James is listed as doubtful for the game. A shame, as I always love watching him match up with Luka Doncic. They both seem to take it to another level when going head to head.

As expected, Paul George will be the main key to dominate Donovan Mitchell and the rest of the Jazz. He managed to contribute 34 points in his 34 minute time in the court. What more if Kawhi Leonard have also came back again with Paul George and played that game.

Quote

Anybody have any idea when Kawhi Leonard will return?

He is not yet scheduled to return on the court this regular season, but maybe in the playoffs they can manage to survive in the play-in tournament. There was some news that he is ahead of his schedule so that's already a good news for the team.

Quote

Leonard may be able to rejoin the rotation at some point before the playoffs, but it's still unknown if he will actually return with only a few weeks remaining in the season.

It's a tie, and the Spurs have a game today versus the Grizzlies. They will try to win this one and put a gap with the Lakers team. As for the Lakers they will be playing against the Jazz tomorrow. Both teams may have a problem gaining a win, it will just depend if those higher seeds will rest their stars which is a big opportunity for the lower seeds to win a game.
But I doubt the Jazz will just hand it over. After a devastating loss from the Clippers, they may want revenge on their brother in LA. Grin

They drop down to 11 now after lossing to the Mavs.
Though they still have a chance If they start winning the remaining games, but If the Spurs are winning as well, then it would be the end for the Lakers this season.
Rebuilding will be expected in the off season, and we will definitely see a completely different roster next season lol. They should've kept their championship team intact.

They don't have Davis and even he will play the chance is still slim,

they can't rally a winning streaks. LeBron alone can't no longer lift the entire team,
if in case they will be eliminated, it won't be surprisingly as there are many bashers
even the league has not started yet. Many say that they are only good in papers, but the
actual squad won't be able to perform and that's the reality we are seeing from how
the players perform.

I’m pretty sure that they have already been eliminated from the playoffs no? Not having Anthony Davis for a huge part of your season isn’t making anything easier, they seem had to stay healthy to give themselves a chance and they simply couldn’t. Personally I’m not a Laker fan so I don’t care much but it is crazy to see this.

haha, only Laker fans would go crazy when their team will miss the playoffs, the reason is very simple, prior to the regular season, the Lakers were already expected to have a shot at winning the championship and what we are seeing now is quite the lowest of their career, they can't even secure a playoff spot based on their ranking now.

It's difficult to tell if that is a goaltending or not when a shot is that close to the rim. IMO, it's clean as Giannis reacted fast after Embiid jumped. That was actually too fast, it's kind of scary. Instincts. Grin

But it got me thinking, the ball downward flight is their basis to call it but how about for small guys using underhand layups without using the backboard?
They should make a new rule about it when a player shoots near the basket. Officials have missed a lot of goaltending cases and they won't even check it anymore. This could be a good learning point.

Yes, Giannis athleticism is displayed again, we have seen him blocking shots at crucial time so this is no surprised. Maybe Embiid is really on a hurry to make that shot, so maybe instead of a follow up, he could have dunk it to tie the score.

But it you look closely, it is a clean block (at least that's how I see it). Tough loss of the Sixers at home, and Heat getting the top spot again.

It's a clean block, No doubt on that call by the refs since it was reviewed multiple times. Its only crucial block that’s why many disagree on that call because they are in favor with Sixers. I enjoy watching the game same with Clippers Vs Jazz that both action pack games that end up to come back on the last quarter of the game. I bet +6.5 on Bucks so I was worried during that block because it might result into OT that might be in favor to sixers because Giannis is already exhausted.

And not only in offense, but that very important block shot and prevent the Sixers to force the game into overtime.

They are heading unto that so we can expect each team to perform well as they want to bring some good energy on playoffs and continuously winning their remaining game could give them good confidence that they and this is important especially when they faced a much stronger team on their conference. Luckily Bucks didn't let the overtime to happen because it will be a different story if the game goes overtime and Harden or Embiid will get their momentum.
