Went 1 for 2 hit the over but sucked it up with a Celtics ML loss.  Boston is in trouble no doubt.  For tonight's game I'm taking Denver money line.  Going to be tough to win in LA but I think this is where Denver starts to step on tueor throat.  Bold prediction: lebron 0-7 from 3 and LA losses by 3. 

Good luck and enjoy the game!

With the Lakers down 0-2 and being the favorites to win tonight, I think you have to take Denver. Sure, the Lakers will give it their all tonight on their home floor so if they win a game this series it will likely be tonight, but winning by 6+ after getting beaten twice in a row seems like a tall order. As a gambler, you gotta go with the cards you’re dealt.

A tough pick when you are watching the game. It was a close game before the 4th quarter rally coming from the Heat. Pretty sure there are many gamblers who lose their bets today, as the outcome is really unexpected.
We can trust the Heat to not give up easily. They were down by a big margin at the end of the third quarter, but I saw an opportunity with odds of 3.00 for the Heat to win by 3 or more points in the fourth quarter, and they did just that. Not only did they win in the fourth quarter, but they also won the game.

Giving away the home court advantage not just one game but two games in a row, it's a big advantage now for Heat. If they can win one game at home, it will be a tough responsibility now for last year's conference champ.

Can't conclude it yet but the winning chance for those who pick Miami for these series got an upper hand now, if I remember it right the percentage
is less than 10% for Heat to win and advance to the NBA finals.

The Celtics have tried their best, but it appears they cannot dominate the Heat because everyone on the Heat roster exudes great confidence. As long as Jimmy contributes, it boosts the confidence of his teammates. Caleb Martin was particularly impressive in this game, as he made significant contributions in various aspects, especially in generating points. This was the key reason why the Heat secured another road team win. It's worth noting that Caleb Martin is an undrafted player as well.

Damn! Miami Heat taking a 2-0 lead away from the Boston Celtics, at the TD Garden,  It's going to be a very challenging task for Boston Celtics to get iboth game 3 and 4 away from home against this Heat team, I really can't consider it a done deal, but it's just going to be daunting task, one more win from Miami Heat from their two home games, then it's a wrap in my opinion.

I managed to get a win from my ML on the Heat and decent odds.

Decided to gamble on Miami Moneyline.
Congratulations bro, I had the same bet on Game 1. I just stayed on the safe side here in game 2 and won the +10.5.
I managed to get a win from my ML on the Heat and decent odds.
Congratulations to you too, bro. Gutsy bets from two of our bettors here. Sweet! I am a little jealous that I should've put a little bit of money into the ML.

2/2

I am glad to see Duncan Robinson being helpful again for the Miami Heat team. Remember, this guy had been benched for a long time not because of injuries but because of his lack of defensive aggressiveness which is not the nature of the team. But today, he showed that he can be trusted on both ends of the floor. 15 points and 1 steal for the sharpshooter. If he keeps up this kind of energy, I am sure Coach Spo would give him more minutes.
Caleb Martin was also fantastic earning 25 points to help the Miami Heat win Game 2. Now, this is a big problem for the Celtics playing on the road twice.

Decided to gamble on Miami Moneyline.



The gamble paid off for 4-1 odds on the bet. Kinda felt like Miami was going to control the game as Jimmy Butler seems to be on a mission. Good game Boston, but i think this could be a sweep.

I go with the Nuggets -3.5 live betting. The game was still in the first quarter. The Lakers take a good lead at the start but the Nuggets find their shooting and now taking the lead 20-16.

It's early but it seems that Nuggets is more relaxed in this game. I wouldn't be surprised if Jokic will have a triple double, unless Rui or Davis could stop him. So let's see and good luck to those who are going to bet or who have put their bet already.
Congratulations bro, how much were the odds on that one?

1.85 mate.

I'm going with the Heat, 3.5 at 2.00. The second half has just concluded and it's Heat 54-50. It was slow phase game because of the defense that this two teams are putting against each other.

But Heat is just pure heart, with those un-drafted players giving time to shine, I wouldn't be surprised if Heat pulls another big one at Boston Garden.

I might be the only one in this thread that'll go for the under 215.5, and similar to yesterday's game, i'm expecting the trend to continue with both sides slowing down the tempo and would miss more shots than usual.



What do you think guys ? Can Lakers tie this series at 2-2 ? or Denver will make it 3-0
I'm leaning on a Lakers tie after the first two games since they didn't make it easy for the Nuggets to claim their first two wins at home.

Until Boston shows me they can stop Jimmy Butler I would have to take Miami and the 10 points tonight. 10 points is a ton of points in the conference finals unless there is a superstar injured and Miami has not played like anyone is missing.

Now that the series is headed back to Los Angeles, the major thing the Denver Nuggets needs to avoid is allowing the Lakers get to the free throw with relative ease, Lakers have more free throw attempt in the first two but the differences weren't so significant, but it's likely going to be a whole new different affair in LA, the Nuggets must ensure they attack the rim and get the at least the around the same number of free throws unlike the Warriors taking bad shots and sending the Lakers to line at almost every possession.

We might some adjustment on Lakers this time. I think they are just experimenting on players that can guard properly Jokic which Lakers is already successful since Jokic score is consistently decreasing despite he still have a lot of reb and ast.

If only Murray didn’t explode. I think Lakers almost got that game 2.

Which takes us to the part where the Lakers might have already figured out a way how to stop the opposing roster because they have improved from their performance from Game 1. If it wasn't because of Murray, we might have had a different outcome where the Lakers have tied the series while going back to their home at Los Angeles. It seems to me that they already found a way for Jokic and now they are prepping to chase down Murray so that he cannot have an easy shot especially beyond the arc.

Missed by .5 point last night.  Crazy how close the spread is to the end score.  The boston/miami game I have to go with the Celtics and the ML and I'm taking the over 213.5.  Wasn't sure about the o/u but I have to think the Celtics aren't going to want to play a half court game with the heat. 

Good luck everyone!

I believe the rest of the games will go under, especially in Game 3 and 4, where the Lakers will be playing on their home court. They are very physical and have been controlling the pace of the game. It's fortunate that the Nuggets had a strong 4th quarter, thanks to Jamal Murray, but as we can see, the outcome was below expectations.
Yeah, that might be the case in the next games to come. As Coach Malone said, Game 1 was a shootout but Game 2 will be an adjustment which means a higher level of defense and I don't think Game 3 will go back from being the likes of Game 1. I wish our bookies will go lower at 219 - 215 because both teams are still known for their high offensive ratings so that amount might still go over. Today was a bad start for the Nuggets and yet they still made 108. Their average on the season was 120+ in a W.

Later. Still in Boston Game 2.
Butler did great in Game 1 but I doubt the Celtics will give them 2 wins in a row in their home. That will be disrespectful to the Celtics fans if they lose again. I think they will win but in a close game. So I am better off taking the handicap for Miami Heat.
Boston Celtics - Miami Heat‍ - Miami Heat (10.5) @1.73
Over 213.5 @1.79

I like this one, risks are somehow minimized by increasing the handicap but I already got Miami Heat +8.5 @ 2.08. May be riskier bet but if the spread will be covered enough, the profit are somehow bigger because personally, I don't usually make bets lower than 1.85 as it's not profitable for me. Good luck to us bettors.

Hard to see the Lakers having a 3-0 deficit and if that happens, it will literally have a bad effect towards them and will probably destroy their confidence. For now, I can see a 2-1 standing in Game 3, 2-2 is somehow ambitious to ask as of now.

If the Phoenix Suns can even up a 2-0 deficit against Denver Nuggets, I have no absolute reason to believe that the Lakers can't do the same, but the for Denver Nuggets, it's gotta be case of once beaten twice shy, now they need to get one win on the road, then this series would be likely done and over with from there.

Agreed on this. Lakers has a more powerful roster including their bench compared to Suns that only have their first 5 and sacrificed their bench just to acquire KD that is proven ineffective on their matches. There’s no way Nuggets can swift Lakers also they are very strong at home court. Both 2 games are very close and there’s a time that Lakers got the lead and chance to win the game. I think Ham analyze this properly and notice how Jokic is very slow and almost not working properly on last quarter.

Now that the series is headed back to Los Angeles, the major thing the Denver Nuggets needs to avoid is allowing the Lakers get to the free throw with relative ease, Lakers have more free throw attempt in the first two but the differences weren't so significant, but it's likely going to be a whole new different affair in LA, the Nuggets must ensure they attack the rim and get the at least the around the same number of free throws unlike the Warriors taking bad shots and sending the Lakers to line at almost every possession.

Jamal Murray is another player as soon as April starts and its not his first year when he goes in beast month after April and during April. Coincidence ? maybe or maybe not but last night Denver really played way better than Lakers and I'm afraid this series is already over. I also saw a tired Lebron that had low energy in  2nd half and also missed some important points.

I'm confident it could occur since LeBron has experienced this scenario repeatedly. However, if you're betting on the Denver Nuggets, you're likely feeling quite positive right now since the Lakers still need to win two games to tie the series. Regarding betting odds, the Nuggets' odds are already quite low, making the Lakers' odds highly appealing.

Now that the series is headed back to Los Angeles, the major thing the Denver Nuggets needs to avoid is allowing the Lakers get to the free throw with relative ease, Lakers have more free throw attempt in the first two but the differences weren't so significant, but it's likely going to be a whole new different affair in LA, the Nuggets must ensure they attack the rim and get the at least the around the same number of free throws unlike the Warriors taking bad shots and sending the Lakers to line at almost every possession.

When it comes to free throws, the Lakers only had numerous attempts because the Warriors are relatively undersized. This allowed the Lakers to exploit the paint. However, with the Nuggets, it's not as straightforward. The Nuggets have Jokic in the post and their lineup is significantly taller compared to the Warriors.

It appears that we won't be seeing the Lakers vs. Celtics NBA Finals this postseason.

If the Heat win again tomorrow, it would be a significant setback for the Celtics, and their chances of a comeback might diminish. It's crucial for the Celtics to win convincingly tomorrow, preferably with a blowout victory, as it's a must-win game for them. In terms of the betting spread, the Celtics are favored by -9 tomorrow. To be cautious, you could consider betting on the first half, expecting the Celtics to have a strong start.

Over 227.5 was not covered as the game have become a defensive battle. -6.5 was not covered too. Not again. The same issue as Game 1, there's a foul at the end of the game Russell holding Bruce Brown, and the referees will not call it anymore and let the time run out. That's twice that it could've been covered.  Cry
Anyway, a great comeback from the Nuggets after being down by 2 digits in the first half. 3rd quarter is where they tried to get close and 4th quarter is where they put a gap against the Lakers. Jamal Murray suddenly got hot in the 4th quarter after a bad start in the first half.
A very intense game and this is the playoffs that we love. Congratulations to all the winners.

I believe the rest of the games will go under, especially in Game 3 and 4, where the Lakers will be playing on their home court. They are very physical and have been controlling the pace of the game. It's fortunate that the Nuggets had a strong 4th quarter, thanks to Jamal Murray, but as we can see, the outcome was below expectations.
