there will be many games and I still don't know which game I can bet on, I'm still thinking about
Indiana Pacers - Milwaukee Bucks
the Pacers come to this game with 33 wins and 43 losses and in the last 10 games they had 6 losses and only won in just 4 games, they also have 3 consecutive losses, while their opponent who is much better than them in terms of performance comes to this game with 54 wins and 21 losses, and in the last 10 games they managed to get 7 wins and 3 losses, in my opinion the Bucks have a good chance of winning this game, the odd for them to win is very low, something like @1.17 , I'm thinking of putting it on my parlay
I want to add it to my soccer parlay of the week, I tried to see other games but I saw that even in the games where they are underperforming teams, the game is very balanced which with odds of @1.57 vs risk of ruining my whole parlay of games of the week it doesn't make much sense for me to take such a risk, anyway, maybe I'll wait to see the first minutes of the game to see the rhythm and if the odd goes up so I can bet on Bucks and more on other soccer games that I already have on my list and that are only waiting for me to bet on them

If someone would have asked me where do I see Heat before the season starts , I would have answer most likely with achieving NBA finals without any doubts. Now , I'm not even sure they will have a deep playoff tournament because lately this team is super shaky and barely makes important victories and the victories that are coming , are with teams from bottom of standings.. . I really hope Heat are aware of this and they are trying to change what is not working for them. 
Looks like the Cavaliers are even better than them at this point because they seem getting hard to regain back to compete in that NBA finals once again and looks like this time is a different scenario and if it's not the Bucks, maybe it's the Boston Celtics once again in the NBA finals. After all, when the star players are constantly with their injuries, their games also change and that's what we witness with the heat currently if they cannot improve their play, then they have a lower chance to win the NBA championship as well.

As for the Warriors and Pelicans, I will watch the game, and probably bet while watching.
I'm with you on this, but I'll be placing my bet on the Warriors. I plan to wait for an opportunity for them to fall behind by double digits before placing my bet, as I believe this will give me better odds or spread. A spread of -3.5 should be reasonable as I don't think they will mess up again. The fact that the Warriors may be down early is not a problem, as they are known for their ability to come back and beat their opponent by double digits.
They did it again. From down 20 at one point to win the game by double digit as well. Ingram was unstoppable in the first half, but was not scoring that much in the 2nd half. On the other hand, Splash Brothers, Poole Party, and Kuminga are doing the offense. Well, let's give credits to Green and DiVincenzo as well because they helped the team to make a comeback "again" on their home. It's good that I went all in with them even though they are down double digits in the first half.
.By the way, did you watch the Celtics vs Wizards game? The game has already ended, and the Wizards upset the Celtics with a blowout win. The spread was +11 for the Wizards before the game.
I watched it, and put a bet on them at the odds of 3.9 I guess. Luckily, I won. A blowout win indeed, and that snapped the losing streak of Washington. Without Kuzma and Beal, they have KP who lead the team with 32 points, and Avdija who has 25 points as well (career high).Charlotte has just secured another win against a play-in tournament contender by defeating the OKC Thunder, following their two victories over the Dallas Mavericks. Despite being out of the competition, this team is not done yet. It's unfortunate that they have been inconsistent throughout the season and only seem to get better in the later rounds. However, there's hope that they will be fully healthy next season, and who knows, they might have a chance to make it to the playoffs.
That was a good game for both teams. PJ Washington got his career high as well with 43 points, and 7 of them got double digits as well. On the other hand, 3 of the OKC players (Jalen Williams, Isaiah Joe, Josh Giddey) got 30+ points on this game. That's the 3rd time in OKC history that 3 players scored 30 or more points in a single game. An achievement for a young team I guess.
@Maslate, I hope you had a chance to place a bet on the Warriors as predicted. As anticipated, they were down by double digits, and their odds were around 1.70. If you took the bet, you would have been comfortable watching the game, knowing that the Warriors would eventually make a comeback. Perhaps the first half belonged to the Pelicans, but the Warriors would push for a strong second half to secure the win.
The Warriors made a remarkable comeback and showed their true dominance once they got into a rhythm. Their performance in the third and fourth quarter was reminiscent of the Warriors we've seen in the past. Despite sticking to their small ball lineup, their offense and defense were well-balanced. In fact, those who criticize the Warriors for their small ball lineup may not fully understand how successful they've been with this system.
We can be confident that they won't be in the play-in and will ensure that the playoff series will be a best of 7 games. Expect them to win most, if not all, of their remaining games.
The Warriors made a really good comeback in this game. They were down by quite some points. But in the end it was a good performance from them to make a comeback. Stephen Curry again came into clutch for them. Sometimes I wonder what they would do without him.
Ingram and Murphy played well for the pelicans. But in the end it was not enough.
I personally do not think that the Warriors should hear people talking about the style of gameplay that they generally do. They should stick to what has been successful for them.
Curry is undoubtedly the Warriors' best player, so the team will surely struggle without him. But it was not just Curry alone who made the difference - Jordan Poole also stepped up when Curry was sitting on the bench. With his excellent 3-point shooting, he helped the team come back and secure the win against the Pelicans.
The Warriors have the heart of a champion, and they never give up even when they're down big. They always play hard to win. With that said, I believe they are well-prepared for the playoffs, even without Wiggins.

Making a comeback and winning games is not new to them; they excel at it. Betting on them while they are down can be a great opportunity as it offers better odds, as one of the posters here has suggested.

The last time Charlotte made it to the playoffs was when Kemba Walker was leading the team. It will be interesting to see if they can make it back to the playoffs and possibly even further with their current roster.

Nothing too exciting going on in the NBA today. A couple games on TNT but the only game that seemed interesting to me was the late game between the Golden State Warriors and the New Orleans Pelicans. They’re still jockeying for position in the playoff race so it should be a hard fought game. Everyone in New Orleans is hoping we see Zion Williamson sooner than later.
As for Zion, this is what's stated on ESPN website. "Williamson (hamstring) has been cleared for on-court activities and will be re-evaluated in two weeks."
The playoffs starts on the 15th of April, and they will re-evaluate them for 2 weeks. If the Pelicans will get at least the 10th spot, I'm guessing he will not play still in the play-in tournaments, but he can in the playoffs. Nevertheless, him getting injured really impacted the whole Pelicans team too much because he's one of the main offensive player, and their main guy when they got the top spot at the start of the season. Unfortunately, they are like the Nets when Durant got injured last season. Both teams are at the top at one time, and when their main guy got injured, their standing went down in an instant.
As for the Warriors and Pelicans, I will watch the game, and probably bet while watching.
Dallas wakes up? Or its only temporal for one game?, what a mess they are.
A win is a win though.
I cant believe how the NBA managers can make a good team around Doncic, seems like they have to learn some things. Anyways this also talk bad of Doncic, he cant make play the team better, also with another star like Irving. I dont know what to think.
If they cant go to play off this can be one of the most shit mega teams in history.

I guess it's learning process for Luka, to be fair he got injured as well causing the Mavs losing skid. If they don't make the play-off or at least be in the play-in, they will have to talk and sit down and probably look at the tapes and see areas for improvement.
Too early to conclude that it's a bad marriage between Luka and Kyrie.
Finally, a win for Dallas Mavericks.
I like what Coach Jason Kidd did there, use McGee if you need some height, he is in their roster for a reason so better use him. Don't just stick with Powell especially if they are up against a team whose strength is using the paint. Without Haliburton and Hield, the Pacers will surely attack the rim to get points.
Credits to Jaden Hardy too for helping out the Mavs on the offensive end.
Hardy is the Mavericks' new discovery, and he has been contributing well in their recent games. Maybe coach Kidd will give this kid decent minutes once they are in the playoffs. Luka and Irving both had a good shooting night, with high percentages. I think it's great that they are getting everyone involved and not just relying on the two of them to make a big percentage of the total shot attempts.I like what Coach Jason Kidd did there, use McGee if you need some height, he is in their roster for a reason so better use him.

They are not that far, tied with the Lakers and Thunder at 37 wins and they still have 6 games left while 7 games for the teams that was mentioned, it can still be done.
I don't know why in the hell Coach Jason Kidd isn't utilizing the height of McGee. I mean like you said, he's been with the team, but he isn't playing that much, and most of the time, they're using Kleber and Powell as their centers and not using him which is kind frustrating. I mean McGee has been a good role player when he's with the Warriors, and now the Mavericks aren't using him at all.
He is trying to space the floor more by using threats in 3-point field goals but they are forgetting that the rim is always open when they do that. This is not far from what GSW has done and still doing now. But, they have Draymond or Looney as rim protectors although they are not really helping much to space the floor. There must be balance and he cannot leave a lay-up open.

Lakers getting better is a great story but the one I am really sad about is Mavs, I still can't believe that they have been this bad. And this happened right when all the teams are close to each other and all the games are getting close to end, if they had some more time then everything could be different. All in all I believe that we shouldn't really be worried about the situation for Mavs since they have Luka Doncic and one way or another they will build a great team for him. They tried Porzingis on his early years, now they are trying Kyrie, and none of that worked but one day they will do something that will work out for him for sure.
Hornets with MJ's management should be released and he's good that he's selling it now.
Dallas is such a terrible team by not having a good results with both Kyrie and Luka playing. The fans have expected a lot from both but that's it.
They're both great ball handlers but it seem that they're exploding and I mean by exploding is like that there's no direction while I'm seeing them play both.
Well, MJ got his profit now, so I guess it's time for him to sell his shares already. Now the question is will there be any buyer?Dallas is such a terrible team by not having a good results with both Kyrie and Luka playing. The fans have expected a lot from both but that's it.

Luka-Kyrie tandem is a fail at least for me. Yes their offense got better (I guess), but their defense gotten worse. Their defense has been bad already since they got Irving, and letting go their defensive player just made them even worse defensively. No wonder why they are now out of the play-in tournament.
They've won against Pacers and again good feedbacks are coming to them and that's what most fans want to see with them. If they're too bad with defense then they might just keep on attacking and be good with offense.
It doesn't look good when they're not doing well together but let's see on where this journey will end for them together.
It was Batum's night. He made 8 three pointers in only three quarters. The match finished early, if Bulls kept the difference closer Batum could've played more and possibly break a record.
Yeah, Batum performed well against the Bulls. Out of curiosity, I checked his stats this season and noticed that he only makes 3-point shots and has almost no other activity on the court. I don't know if it's the Clippers coach's decision to use Batum that way, but it's weird to me. Honestly, I used to think Batum was a more versatile player, especially when he played for the Blazers.
Having an understanding how the league works and understanding that rest is crucial for playoff success is an important part of a coaches job. I understand that Sixers may want to rest some players, and there are other teams who started to ease some of the players off and give them either rest days or even give them less minutes so they can rest, and instead focus on player development of their young players just in case.
However, this is not an option at west, as we all know the west is closer than even from nearly 6th to 11th place, and that is why most teams there are still playing everyone all the time, it's the top teams that are taking some rest days and nobody else.

Well, not too late for them to be included in the play-in picture. However, Luka has showed his frustrations and it could drag the team chemistry down. Everyone though Kyrie and Luka works perfectly fine, but it seems like it didn't. Though it's still early to tell and they just played like 10 games (If I'm not mistaken) together. The Mavs have a good depth though.
Oh well, that's what we thought in the beginning, that there could be chemistry between the two. But we don't know who the problem is though because after acquiring Kyrie, it seems that their chemistry has been affected. Perhaps Kidd wanted to try something new, (not to late), to have McGee to take advantage of the opponent's small lineup.
Mavs is still in the 11th spot though, they need to win all their remaining games to be in the play-in at least.
We don't really know what's up with the Mavs because ever since they acquired Kyrie, they began to crumble and they've been having an opposite outcome, so different from what the management has expected them to be. Instead of getting a better performance, they are now down to 11th seed which is not good because they are now chasing to at least participate in the play-in compared before that they are in the upper bracket. Well, let's just hope that coach Kidd was just trying something because it's hard to believe that they are already doing their best.
I'm thinking that maybe, Jason Kidd's job as coach is also on the line right now. I mean they made this trade with Kyrie and thinks that it will be better for the team, but it turns out to be the opposite as they used to be on the top bracket before the acquisition. And what made it worst is that Luka got injured and then the technical fouls on his is piling up as well. So he is really frustrated with what is going on and they didn't expect that they will go down and slide as far as 11th place and now trying to salvage their season just to be in the play-in.
