This is the best game to bet on the Warriors, as they're very dominant at home. If we believe the Warriors can still make a comeback, starting with a bet on their home court in a do-or-die game is a good strategy. I understand that the spread is too high, so it's wise that you took the moneyline, and I think you did the right thing.

It's going to be an exciting game for sure, and based on the trend so far, the home team usually wins and covers the spread as well. So, even with a high spread, it won't matter if the Warriors win by a blowout, which I hope is the case.

I have lost many times that is why I rested for a couple of days but right now I have my balance back and am ready to bet for more games, now here are my picks for tomorrow's NBA Conference Semi-Finals,

New York Knicks(-167) VS Miami Heat(+130)

Jalen Brown in their last game was truly astronomical he has a double-double of 11 assists and 32 points ending the game but it was not enough the Heat is able to win even in the 4th game, and right now they are playing at the Madison Square Garden the Knicks home court but for this game, I really think Jimmy Butler can still play and not only Butler Bam Adebayo is also a force not to be reckoned with, for me, but the Miami heat will also eliminate the knicks in the 5 so my picks are the Miami Heat,

Golden State Warriors(-225) VS Los Angeles Lakers(+180)

The Struggle is real some fans of the Golden State Warriors including myself are now doubting if they can still come back from a 3 - 1 deficit, this is the harder comeback they will make for sure in their whole career, and if they still lose this game it is goodbye to them well right now even though I am doubting them the Warriors always doing something spectacular and getting back from this kind of deficit, the game will be at Chase Center the home court of the Warriors and right now Patrick Baldwin Jr. can not play for the Warriors while the Lakers still have Mo Bamba, Anthony Davis, and LeBron James doubtful if they can play for the Lakers, but I really doubt the Warriors even though that was the case my pick are still the Golden State Warriors,

There we go, another perfect day. Thankfully.

The battle of free throws in the first game. Both Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers are playing physically, especially Joel Embiid who is always trying to put the ball near the rim most of the time. Who can def that guy? Even Rob Williams is having a hard time stopping him.
Tatum and Brown worked their ass offensively but it's not enough to stop Harden, Maxey, Embiid, and Harris. I think that's what the Celtics are lacking, help from their bench.

Denver Nuggets blew out the Phoenix Suns. They gave hell to both KD and Booker defensively and the fruits of those labor are definitely sweet.
Bruce Brown helped a lot on both ends contributing 25 points from the bench. Joker does what he usually does and MPJ started the big fire in the first quarter. There was one time the Suns took the lead but when Jokic came back, the game went for the Nuggets side again.
Green locked in versus KD and KCP did the same versus Booker, they did great at stopping them.

Trying to decide how I'm going to bet both of these games tonight, and coming up a bit empty. They are both great games, obviously with both series tied at two-two, but of course it makes it more difficult to bet, at least in my mind.  I'm probably rolling with Sixers as I can't justify an 8 point spread favored for the Celtics, as well as the 7 point spread favoring the Nuggets, just can't take either being so high..so will bet on the Suns and Sixers.

Both home teams are the favorite in this game, so I wouldn't surprised if they will pull a big win here. Celtics will have the advantage though, I mean their bench is deep and if we see in this series, the way Sixers won, it's very close. So playing at home, I think we will see Celtics winning by double digit lead here.

For the Suns, gonna love the atmosphere though, Booker + Durant seems to be unstoppable in the last 2 games.

I think the Suns too are pissed off with the way Jokic push Mat Ishbia the owner of Phoenix Suns. So it's seem this is going to be personal for the Suns so expect a dog fight here. So I will risk +6.5 with the Suns.

Hello Guys,

My picks for tonight.

Boston Celtics (-2.5) vs Philadelphia 76ers = First Quarter Win 1,90 Odds.

Denver Nuggets (-5.5) vs Phoenix Suns = Denver Nuggets Win 1,80 Odds.

Good luck guys.

My picks for the Conference Semi-Finals today

Boston Celtics VS Philadelphia 76ers GAME 5 (Series Tied 2 - 2)

The stake odds for this game are 1.33 for the Celtics and 3.50 for the 76ers, Right now Danilo Gallinari can not play for the Celtics while Joel Embiid is questionable if he can play for the 76ers, for this game because James Harden is not really consistent and this is the home court of the Celtics now I think I will go with the Celtics this is a hard bet because even the 76ers can surely win when Harden exploded again, so my pick is the Boston Celtics,

Denver Nuggets VS Phoenix Suns GAME 5 (Series Tied 2 - 2)

The stake odds for this game are 1.41 for the Nuggets and 3.00 for the Suns, Right now Collin Gillespie is out for the season for the Nuggets while Chris Paul has a groin injury and can not play for the Suns, for this game the tandem of Devin Booker and Kevin Durant has proven effective even without Chris Paul but for me, Jokic and his gang will provide a great answer for this game at home court advantage, so my pick is the Denver Nuggets,

∆ D. Booker 5+ assists / K. Durant 7+ rebounds / M. Porter Jr. 5+ rebounds @1.86 ∆  X

One of the keys to this game (and maybe even series) for Denver will be figuring out how to stop/contain Booker. Book is averaging over 41 points on 79% shooting in the last two games, which is ridiculous. Nuggets have to limit his scoring, double-teams and traps have to be more precise/effective, they also have to be physical with him, cannot simply let him take whatever shot he wants.

KD is averaging 10.5 rebounds in the series and has covered 7+ in each game with expected heavy minutes again he should be able to grab those no problem.

MPJ is slowly getting into the series, he was quite shy with his shot in the first two games, but much more aggressive in the last two. His rebounding activity can't be ignored either...from 7 total rebounds in the first two games to 22 in games 3 and 4.  Suns put Jokic in a lot of PnR action the last two games which keeps the big man away from the hoop, i like MPJ at 5 rebounds.

I feel like the bet to make tonight is the Boston Celtics beating the Philadelphia 76ers to go along with the Denver Nuggets beating the Phoenix Suns. The short version, betting on the home teams. Longer version, Philadelphia has been playing too erratic and I don’t think they’ll be able to consistently win again, especially in Boston. As for the Suns, they seem to have pissed Denver off last game and I expect Denver to respond. I do hope the Suns win though.

And they still keep working towards the top and beating the favorite, and soon the New York Knicks too if they cannot find a way to handle Jimmy Butler and their big man plus they've got a nice roster that can swap with each other's role which even gave more struggle to the Knicks because their roster aside from Randle and Brunson are still inconsistent.

Now if this trend continues and Heat are going to compete in the Eastern Finals, they will probably face the fiercest team alive in the East right now. Either Celtics and Sixers, it will be a good match-up versus the Miami Heat.

We just might.
2 games later.
Boston Celtics versus Philadelphia 76ers‍ - Philadelphia 76ers ML @3.50 7:30 AM GMT+8
I am rooting for the underdog. I don't know, I just have this feeling in my gut that they can win this game. Embiid is in questionable status according to ESPN reports but I can see him in players' props, so high chance that he will play this game. For those who are worrying you could put your bets before game time, just to be sure.

Denver Nuggets versus Phoenix Suns - Denver Nuggets (-5.5) @1.87 10:00 AM GMT+8
Nikola Jokic will not be suspended for what he did with the Phoenix Suns' owner Ishbia but he did fine $25k for it.
This is the Nuggets home and I bet they miss winning games after losing both Games 3 and 4 in the Suns homecourt. I am expecting Jokic to put great numbers and his stats and defensive aggressiveness from his teammates.

Good luck everyone.

True, it's hard to trust this team even though they're playing at home because it seems like they haven't found a way to beat the Heat. In terms of experience, the Heat have a big advantage. It's unfortunate that they had a very bad regular season, but in the postseason, they've shown their playoff form. Despite being the underdogs, they are the ones dominating their opponents.

So if the series ends in five games, the Heat will have had an impressive first and second round.

The Heat have already beaten the Bucks 4-1 and the Knicks 4-1 soon. Who will they face next?

The Lakers are just one win away from eliminating the Warriors. It's likely that the Warriors will win game 5 at home, as they are very dominant there. However, game 6 will be another close game and the Lakers could end the series. If they make mistakes and the series reaches game 7, then the Warriors will likely win. It's very slim for a team to come back from a 3-1 deficit, but the Warriors have done it in the past, so they are still a dangerous team.



The Knicks have been struggling, whether they are playing at home or on the road. They were only able to win one game, and that was when Butler was out. However, in game 5, Butler is expected to play, so it's likely that the series will come to an end.

Both of my bets won, Lakers ML and the Heat -4.5.

Yes, now the Lakers have the advantage, even if they lost the next game at Chase center, they still have a good lead.

As for the Heat, I think they are going to close out the Knicks and it's going to be interesting as who they are going to face. It could be a nightmare matchup though, so let's see. Heat really bringing their A-game and it's a resurgent as no one expecting them to reach this far.

The Heat had success in the 4th quarter, and it was actually a good win for them. They now lead 3-1 in the series, but they still aren't considered a team that could win a championship. Looking at the NBA Futures betting odds, it seems like they are underestimated. If they advance, they might face Boston, but I think the 76ers could upset the Celtics.

True, hopefully we'll see more of that in the coming games.

I am sorry @wheelz1200, but both of those bets are a goner.
I only had 1/2 in both games as I was also expecting the Golden State Warriors to tie the series because it will be difficult for them to come back if it falls to 3-1. Well, that did happen. They had a lot of opportunities, they gained an 11-point lead and mess it up, the Lakers came back, and there was also a time in the first half where they got an 8-point lead, which was messed up too.
I don't think they can win this series with inconsistent kind of plays. If they want Curry to run the play, let him do it. They should stop being greedy and doing isolation plays because Curry is a passer too.

Miami Heat on the other hand dominated the painted area, I think their max was 5 offensive rebounds in one possession. Something is wrong with the Knicks if that happens. No box out probably, or they are just not hustling at getting the ball because I doubt that was mere luck for the Heat.

No blowouts today, it was an entertaining day.

Not gonna lie I am losing my faith in the New York Knicks and because of this game Jalen Brunson have done so much for this team but it was really not enough I really think that this is going to be the end of the road for the Knicks but I am doubting if the Heat could finish this team in the next match because the Knicks can still bounce back, but 3 - 1 is a hard point to return maybe on the next match I really don't know if I would bet for them again, but that 11 assist 32 points of Jalen Brunson was really a waste, it was a close game in my opinion,

---

Another Frustrating result and there is no bounce back that happens,

Miami Heat VS New York Knicks - GAME 4 (Miami Leads 2 - 1) SCORE 109 - 101 - LOST

It was really a close match and Jalen Brunson stood up to the expectation but the Heat is just too much they weren't enabled to capitalize on those gained possession so they lost yet again, Max Strus got 16 points, Bam Adebayo has a double-double of 13 rebounds and 23 points and Jimmy "Buckets" Butler has a double-double if 10 assist 27 points winning the game against the Knicks,

Los Angeles Lakers VS Golden State Warriors - GAME 4 (Lakers Leads 2 - 1) SCORE 104 - 101 - LOST

The frustration I know there are so many fans of the Lakers in here and as a fan of the Lakers you will also do the same but I am a fan of the Warriors and you can say that I am biased towards them and yes I can not defend them by putting up the game was a rigged because that was only me talking as a Warrior fan I think I don't have any rights at all well for this game you all be the judge, well I am expecting that Warriors will not make a comeback and will lose Game 5 but if at least they can make a bypass on those Lakers Free Throws they can still manage this, and the series will close at Game 7 for sure,

You won on the Lakers ML, but not on the over. It was a low-scoring affair, and both teams struggled with shooting outside. The Warriors, who are great 3-point shooters, only shot 29% in this game, which is below their average.

Their strategy was to attack more inside with their fast passing, and they had more points in the paint than the Lakers in this game. As a result, the Warriors weren't dominated, but the Lakers were clutch in the 4th quarter, thanks to a secret weapon that beat the Warriors.

The series is now 3-1 in favor of the Lakers. However, it's not over yet, so let's not celebrate early.

Lakers ML is a relatively safe bet, although I would stick at the over/under just to be on the safer side of things. The Warriors can still pop off and put in a performance to even the series score even when on the road. Lakers at home is a force to be reckoned with, but the Warriors on the road is also a team that can do a lot of things to even the tides of battle. I can't really discount either of the teams in this match up, and both of them have good odds as well. I'd say it's a coin toss, but the Lakers has the edge in here.

I'd just go for over 228 points instead.

Picks for today's games for Conference Semi-Finals

Miami Heat(-182) VS New York Knicks(+135)

If the Knicks can not stop Jimmy Butler and he keeps on playing for the Heat then there is no chance that he can be stopped right now Tyler Herro is a key member that can not pay for the Heat, and Jimmy Butler is doubtful if he can play for the Heat, while Immanuel Quickley is doubtful for the Knicks he can play against the Heat, this is game 4 and Miami Heat is on the lead  by 2 - 1, for me, I think that the Heat can still win here so my pick is the Miami Heat,

Los Angeles Lakers(-167) VS Golden State Warriors(+130)

Right now I really don't want to believe that the NBA is rigged because of the Referees we can not ignore the fact that there are many foul calls for the Warriors insane calls even and the Lakers get more free throws than the Warriors I really don't want to believe that, and some media is putting a blind eye about this I really don't want to be sounded bias to the Warriors but it is what I see, Right now Anthony Davis needs a rest even Lebron, so my pick is the Warriors, to tie the game,
