They are the underdog, as the Warriors will have to travel on Lakers home court and they are not known to be a road team though, so good luck for those who are going to take a risk on the Warriors game 3 at crypto.com.

For the Heat vs Knicks, I haven't check any news on Jimmy Butler, if he is going to play or not. So I wouldn't pull the trigger yet, even if they are the favorite in game 3 based on ML currently.

I will follow the momentum of the Warriors. They dominated the Lakers in game 2 and, even though they will be on the road, I think they are capable of winning as long as Klay continues to have his impressive 3-point shooting. While LeBron and Davis may be questionable, I highly doubt they'll miss this very important game. But for me, it's still all Warriors.

Because I haven't made any bet and I missed to bet for today's game here are my bets for tomorrows games,

Miami Heat VS New York Knicks GAME 3 Tied 1 - 1

The stake odds for this game are 1.58 for the heat and 2.46 for the Knicks, Right now Tyler Herro can not play for the Heat, Haywood Highsmith, Caleb Martin and Jimmy Butler are all questionable if they can play for the Heat, while Jericho Sims is out for the season for the Knicks, for this game if Jimmy Butler would not have a chance in playing in this game this is a sure win for the Knicks but the Heat will surely rely heavy on Butler, that is why game 3 could be a win for the New York Knicks,

Los Angeles Lakers VS Golden State Warriors GAME 3 Tied 1 - 1

The stake odds for this game are 1.65 for the Lakers and 2.31 for the Warriors, right now Mo Bamba, Anthony Davis, and LeBron James are all questionable if they can play for the Lakers, while the Golden State Warriors have Patrick Baldwin Jr. that have a toe injury and are doubtful if he can play for the Warriors well that inconsistency of Anthony Davis was due to Draymond Green guarding him I have watch the full video Draymond Green might not be the best guard for Davis but it is affecting Davis I think the Warriors have exposed the Lakers this time, so my pick is the Golden State Warriors taking the win on game 3,

Of course, and with that, you won your bet. It's easier to cap the totals than the point spread for this game. Honestly, I thought the 76ers would be able to dominate in their first game at home, but that didn't happen because once again, the guards of the 76ers struggled.

James Harden went 3-14 and T. Maxey went 4-16. They can't win games with that kind of performance.

Regarding the second game, the Phoenix Suns were able to secure the win after a good performance in the fourth quarter against the Denver Nuggets. If the Suns hadn't been able to stop the big run by the Nuggets, this series might not have gone back to Denver, so congratulations to the Suns.

@jakelyson I love the courage of putting both ML in a parlay, I am tailing you on that one.
It's difficult to decide which team will win the 2nd game today, that's why I just tailed the parlay. But in the first game, I think the 76ers will win.
Philadelphia 76ers - Boston Celtics - Philadelphia 76ers ML
An underdog on their own turf and their own crowd, I think that will boost their confidence and provide them with the energy to be able to win this game. Embiid is in questionable status but I already saw him warming up so he is going to play. Very good news for the 76ers for an added extra power in both ends of the floor.
Over 211.5 should also be reachable in this game. Good luck everyone.

∆ K. Durant 25+ points / K. Durant 5+ rebounds / D. Booker 25+ points / D. Booker 5+ assists @1.94 ∆  won

I'm going with a double play on Durant and Booker in what is my favorite 2nd round matchup to bet on.

Durant has cleared the 25+ points line in all but one postseason games so far, their last against Denver, having an off night from deep 2/12. Given the gravity of Game 3 i can see him and Book both go over 30 points. Durant has recorded over 5 rebounds in 7/L7. Booker has cleared 25 pts in 7/L7 averaging over 35 points in the playoffs, with C. Paul being out he should help with the playmaking, not just scoring. 31 assists in his last 4 games ain't too bad.


∆ K. Durant 1+ blocks / D. Booker 1+ steals @1.80 ∆  won

Durant is averaging 1.4 blocks in the playoffs and has 5 against the Nuggets so far in the series. The Suns will need their superstar to be great on the defensive end as well.  Booker with 2 steals per game in the playoffs, at least one steal in 6 /L7. I expect Denver's turnover number to double on the road.

Philadelphia 76ers vs Boston Celtics

The Philadelphia 76ers are taking on the Boston Celtics in game 3 at Wells Fargo Center, Key injuries for the 76ers are Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable, and Key Injuries for the Boston Celtics are Danilo Gallinari (knee) out, and Blake Griffin (back) out, for this game, James Harden can fire up even though they don't have Joel Embiid, but I think Joel Embiid will play for this game for sure but right now I don't think that the James Harden will not let the Celtics build momentum anymore, so my bet is the Philadelphia 76ers,

Phoenix Suns vs Denver Nuggets

The Phoenix Suns are taking on the Denver Nuggets in game 3 at Footprint Center, key injuries for the Phoenix Suns are Chris Paul (Groin), While the Denver Nuggets' key injury was Collin Gillespie (lower leg) out for this season, for this game I really think that the Phoenix Suns are not yet ready for the finals the Suns team is not in sync for now with Kevin Durant not like with the Brooklyn Nets there is not much chemistry and will be needing a lot of time for him to get used with the Suns' team, but the Denver Nuggets are a solid team that can win this game,

Golden State Warriors VS Los Angeles Lakers - GAME 2 Tied 1 - 1 - WIN

It was a great performance for the Golden State Warriors and Lebron James looks really frustrated, he really badly wants this win for sure, but the Warriors have come strong in this game, and managed to capitalize on their lead, while Lebron James has now benched and all this game a win for the Warriors you can see it they are reserving James to go even further in this game and because of that injury he needed a rest by the lead was too much for the Lakers, this game a good Lakers win,

Picks for games today

Philadelphia 76ers VS Boston Celtics - GAME 3 Tied 1 - 1

The game is in Wells Fargo Center the home court of the 76ers and right now Joel Embiid has a knee injury but is still questionable, while Blake Griffin and Danilo Gallinari can not play for the Celtics for this game I think the Boston Celtics now can make this game theirs I really think that the Celtics can surely play even not at home, and a good winning percentage on game away so hoping for them to win this game,

Phoenix Suns VS Denver Nuggets - GAME 3 DEN Leads 2 - 0

The game is in Footprint Center the home court of the Suns, and right now Chris Paul is out with a groin injury, while Collin Gillespie is out for the season for the Nuggets, for this game making their way to the finals maybe the Suns can accumulate many points but I doubted it as leading this game was the Nuggets, if the Suns can not win this game the Nuggets could sweep them out, so for this game, I will go with the Nuggets,

I agree, they have done their part, at least Harden has one good game against the Celtics for now, and 1-1 going into their homecourt. And just like the Lakers, they steal one game and that is enough for them.

So I will tail you on the Philly bet.

I'm also liking the Suns chances, they need to bounce back, Booker and Durant will have to find a way to stop the Nuggets and take a win.

Honestly I think they are more than fine morally.  When on the road in the first 2 you just want to at least win one and win home court back.  They have solid vets and know this is in theor hands to lose.  I'm laying in on Philly +2.5.  I know Celtics are good but can't rationalize them being underdogs at home. 

Then in the later game I have to think Suns are gonna be going all out both ends of the court.  Gimme the Suns -4.5 and the under on this game.

Yes they can but for now, we frankly don't know the likelihood of the outcome and what will happen as we cannot be that sure about the Philly's situation mainly because Embiid have not yet recovered from his knee injury which gave him a hard time in almost every possession during Game 2 and honestly, even the team did struggle big time because their big man is slowing them down.

And if ever their situation will not be any better, I'm sure that the Boston Celtics will be there to take advantage of it while the Philly are still struggling to take point.

Philadelphias moral is down after the last disaster against the Celtics. The question is can they bounce back. If they play similar to this celtics might take a win on the road aswell. For me i think Celtics might surprise in this match and take a win against Philly

Or maybe the bookies are still not that sure whether Embiid has already recovered or not because we all know that he might put some pressures on his wound for the meantime just to bounce back after having a blow out lost last time, plus they will have the homecourt advantage now and the people will wanting to see the their MVP ,Embiid, dominating the game.

Current odds for the Sixers is +2.5 @ 1.91 , looking forward to see some movements before putting up my bet.

Steph though has been hounded by Vanderbilt in this game, and just scored 20 points. But the good thing is that they covered the spread very easily in the 3rd quarter, which they pour everything and we know that GSW is a 3rd quarter team.

So congrats on those who beat on the Warriors ML or handicap.

Davis though, very inconsistent, game 1 he put MVP numbers and very aggressive, now, he just look like a ordinary Laker player. Hachimura even had a good game compare to Davis.

I'm tailing you on this one. In my opinion, there seems to be a problem with the line. After the strong performance of the Celtics in game 2, I think Philly should be at least +3.5. However, looking at the current line, it opened at +1 and is currently at +2. I believe this is another trap that we should avoid, and we should be on the right side, which is Philly.

The Celtics might beat Philly on the road after that stellar game 2 performance, but I think we should forget what happened in game 2 so we won't be too aggressive in putting our money on the Celtics. I think the home team here is the underdog since most bettors will likely choose the better team between the two. However, Philly is still undefeated at home, and they need to bounce back after an embarrassing loss. I like Philly in this angle.

Therefore, my bet is on Philly moneyline.

Yeah. My wife, as a Warriors fan, is screaming her lung out on Game 1 with all the fouls that were called against the Warriors. She said it's like the Lakers are glasses that can be broken anytime once they are bumped. 
We didn't win this one, including my PRA for Steph because it was Klay Thompson who had the hot hands. 30 points, 8/11 in the three-point line, he was phenomenal and was shooting lights out at every three-point position. How I wish this kind of Klay Thompson will be around everytime, I bet he was conditioned well to have this high confidence at shooting the ball.

Golden State Warriors covered all the spreads given before the game. I lost my bet builder. But I also had one for a backup. Thankfully, it hit. 
If the Warriors will play better that means Lakers players will be in bad shape.

I really don't like how the foul calls are called in favour of Lakers they get treated like eggs, as though the NBA playoff isn't meant to get physical or it's not a contact sport, how do you justify Lakers get 29 free throws attempt compared to Warriors 6 in game 1, these are minute details that cost you any game in the playoffs, every potential fouls from AD and Lebron are considered blocks and applauded but for their opponents, it's a foul, it was an eyesore for me in game 1, at least from my perspective, without those nonsensical foul calls Warriors would have won the game by double digits with ease, but I'm looking forward game 2 tonight, let see what they have in store for today.

My bet is on Steph Curry over 30.5 points

Yeah, I need Wiggins to be more aggressive to hit that. 17-20 points would suffice and then some rebounds and assists. Looney will cover using his monster rebounds, and Steph Curry will probably be more of an attacker whenever the Lakers will rest Anthony Davis. He is the only one who can keep the painted area protected which is why the Warriors are doubting to attack.
Blocks for AD might also be a good choice for a player's props if ever someone is interested.

The line didn't change in 12 hours, the Warriors are still the favorite to win the Game 2 despite losing in Game 1. 1 more hour before tip-off.
Good luck to everyone's bet and let's enjoy the game.

Just sent some orange coin to my gambling account and was mulling over these same sentiments that you’re laying down here. I just can’t see Golden State going down 2-0 in this series, not being at home again tonight. Curry, as much as I can’t stand the guy, is one of the all time greats with plenty of playoff experience, so this is nothing new for him tonight.

I’m pulling heaving for LA, but win or lose I win either way as I’ll win money or the team I wanted wins lol
