Both Brunson and Randle are playing and they are down by 3 points now but too early as the first half is just finished.

coming to the 2nd half now and I'm seeing the same usual game play from the Heat, even without Butler they are playing that same rotations, it will be on the shoulders of Lowry and Bam to fire up their offense and with the help of everyone as always.



I like this one. I believe that GSW can cover this handicap since they are playing at home.

Looking forward to see the same tempo they have during the game 7 against the Kings, with that kind of aggressiveness
they can take this game 1 and beat the Lakers at home.

I already bet on the Warriors at -4.5 as well, I like their chances in game 1 specially at their home court. They lost a game here against the Kings, but I doubt that they can go 2 home game lost specially in the playoff. Curry has taken over and he is putting performances like he was trying to proved his doubters wrong. Lakers has the advantage of having a rest, but they could have ring rust, while the Warriors have the momentum right now. Lot's of game match up, inside with Looney and Draymond against a healthy Anthony Davis.

I'm skipping the Knicks vs Heat game, I'll just have to watch this one, (or maybe if I have the itch to bet live game, I will do it).
But the initial odds of -/+10.5 could be a trap, (Randle playing or Butler missing the game??/)

Jimmy Buckets out.

This is a big loss for the Miami Heat. But I already made my bet for them with +6.5 on the handicap. There's no turning back now and all I have to do is trust his teammates to step up their game.
There is no news yet about Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson and according to recent updates it will be "game-time decision". That kind of news sucks when it comes to betting.   I can now see Jalen Brunson in player props so those who took the Knicks bet should now be optimistic that one of their stars will play. Also adding the Over 204.5 bet @1.76

I am betting for the Golden State Warriors too but with -4.5 only on the handicap. I like their chances to win the game playing at Chase Center. Their fans will surely be nonstop supporting them and giving them energy with their cheers. Plus, I'd like to see them bring the momentum after that win against the Sacramento Kings.
Wiggins versus Lebron probably, AD versus Looney, Steph versus Reaves or Schroder. This will absolutely be a fun game.
Good luck everyone and enjoy the games.

I'm really pumped for both games tonight.  I'm excited to see the Knicks doing as well as they are, which normally I'm not a very big fan of their and I'm excited to see playoff Jimmy Buckets going up against him and doing his playoff thing more than likely. I mean when it comes to guys in the playoffs...Jimmy Butlers an all time great.

Edit: nvm Butler is out game 2 booo

The second game of course is where I'm really excited to see.  Lebron versus Curry, which could be a final showdown, or at least the best showdown we may ever see of those two again..Can't wait!

I think I'm only betting the second game, and I think I'm putting my money on LA..though I'm not sure that's wise.

Clearly, I Lost the Boston Celtics pick yesterday but won the Denver Nuggets one, now this is my bet for today's game

New York Knicks vs Miami Heat

The New York Knicks will face the Miami Heat in game 2 at Madison Square Garden, right now New York Knicks' key injuries: Julius Randle (ankle) is questionable if he's able to play Jalen Brunson (ankle) is questionable if he's able to play, and the Miami Heat Key injury: Tyler Herro (hand) is out and can not play, Victor Oladipo (knee) is out from season, Haywood Highsmith (knee) is questionable and Jimmy Butler (ankle) is questionable if they can play for the Heat, for this match I got a bad feeling about the Heat and Jimmy Butler is not questionable right now so my pick is the New York Knicks,

Golden State Warriors vs Los Angeles Lakers

The Golden State Warriors are facing the Los Angeles Lakers in game 1 at Chase Center, right now key injuries: Andre Iguodala (wrist) is out and can not play, and Patrick Baldwin Jr. (toe) is questionable if he's able to play, now the Los Angeles Lakers key injuries: Mo Bamba, (ankle), Anthony Davis (foot) and Lebron James (foot) all are questionable if they can play for the Lakers, for that I think that Lakers will not be in their 100% best form against the Warriors and the Golden State Warriors is playing at Chase Center because of that this is going to be an unbeatable Warriors,

Yes, James Harden becomes his prime version back in the days, it was incredible actually hitting 45 points for this game was insane, just like Curry in game 7 but this is only game 1 of James Harden's ability to Full Throttle with the help of De'Anthony Melton, Tobias Harris, and Tyrese Maxey spreading the points to most teams, likely dominating the game in the 2nd half,

Now my picks for today's game

New York Knicks VS Miami Heat

The Stake Odds for this game are 1.40 for the Knicks and 3.10 for the Heat, Right now Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson are both doubtful if they can play, but I think in the play-offs they can surely play for this game, while Tyler Herro can not play because of hand injury and both Haywood Highsmith and Jimmy Butler are both doubtful if they can play for this game, right now I think both teams got crucial doubtful injuries, but for me, Knicks can just sway this and win the game, so my pick is the New York Knicks,



Golden State Warriors VS Los Angeles Lakers

The Stake odds for this game are 1.52 for the Warriors and 2.60 for the Lakers, Right now Andre Iguodala can not play (Hopefully he retires next season to give space for a new player) Patrick Baldwin Jr. is doubtful if he's going to play for the Warriors, while Mo Bamba, Anthony Davis, and LeBron James are doubtful if they can play for the Lakers, for this game 1 I think the Warriors will go strong now that they had home court advantage, so for me they will make progression in game 1 win, so my pick is the Golden State Warriors,

I want to take a risk for Miami Heat.
Maybe I will win.

My pick for tonight.

New York Knicks vs Miami Heat = Miami Heat Win 3,98 Odds. (25$)

And Jimmy Butler said he wanted to play tonight.

Good luck guys.

Game 2 for the Knicks game and probably the long awaited Lakers and golden state series.

Taking the Knicks-6.5. Thinking playoff Jimmy's ankle is gonna afford the Knicks a rebound game here.  Gonna be tough for Miami in msg with a not 100% Jimmy.

And gimme the golden state Warriors at home here.  Think this is gonna be a long series with home teams mainly winning.steph goes big tonight.

Enjoy the games!

I like both the home teams tonight. Miami is missing Oladipo, Herro, and possibly Butler. We won't know til close to tip off if Butler is playing on his ankle. AD and Lebron are both game time decisions as well with foot injuries in the Laker/Warriors series. I expect both will play but I think the Warriors make a statement tonight. I actually gave a few extra points in my bet on warriors.

You're right. That is indeed a much needed win for the Sixers as they knew that the Celtics are capable to bounce back and dominate any given game.

I bet not too many bettors have managed to win this game especially after the fact that Joel Embiid is not playing with the Sixers in Game 1. However, there are some bettors who took their bets way early before the final tip-off appeared and surely that scared them when they knew about Embiid's situation, but they are still lucky enough because James Harden carried the team and upsets the Celtics on their 1st game.

Here are the result of my picks for today's game,

Boston Celtics VS Philadelphia 76ers SCORE 115 - 119 - LOST

The Celtics are getting on with it at the start of the game but the 76ers was quite impressive at  the half time that they still regained momentum in getting those win, now James Harden is cracking up a week or in a steroid for pulling something like that is his age, Tobias harris got 18 points Tyrese Maxey got 26 points, James Harden for 45 points, the 76ers have done a great job in winning the 1st game against the Boston Celtics but we all know about the Celtics and what they are capable off, but the wins are surely needed by the 76ers now, and congrats to all that bet for the 76ers,

Denver Nuggets VS Phoenix Suns SCORE 97 - 87 - WIN

The Suns did a great job at the start of the game, but the Denver Nuggets doesn't let the lead go much higher and finished the Suns, and just like I thought that Kevin Durant has been stopped even Devin Booker by the Nuggets, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope got 14 points, Aaron Gordon got 16 points and Nikola Jokic has a double-double of 16 rebounds and 39 points, winning the game, and advance their lead against the Suns,

Tyrese Maxey stealing a telegraphed pass from the NBA 6th man of the year, Malcom Brogdon was the defining moment that helped Philadelphia 76ers steal the series 1 - 0 lead at the TD Garden, I really know a lot of people including thinks the match was though for the 76ers without their no 1 star in Joel Embiid, but as far as I can tell from the game, in my opinion it made the 76ers became much more unpredictable, I mean James Harden was meant to carry the team in scoring instead a facilitating every play, and every player had to contribute to the win. That's a good advantage for the 76ers I'd say, although it doesn't guarantee their chances of going through to the next round, but it sure is a good way to start any series with a win on the road.

Congratulations, that's a win.
And, sorry to you guys who took the bet for the Boston Celtics. The Philadelphia 76ers won the game and covered all the spreads in the betting line.
For me, it was a +10.5 so yes, I am sure I will win it at the last minute of the 4th quarter because the game was too close. I never expected them to win that's why I added the large spread but surprise, surprise, James Harden turned into a monster. Memories of Houston Rockets days.
3/3 again for me and some bonus bet builder win.


Denver Nuggets had some bad moments too and Jamal Murray was not hitting his usual shots. Thankfully, Nikola Jokic started strong and continued with hot hands until the end of the game. Aaron Gordon is very helpful too posting 16 points. Phoenix Suns were successful at not letting Gordon get offensive rebounds (Gordon only had 1 rebound) but his defense against Kevin Durant was superb. So does KCP against Booker.

The Suns had the better shooting last game but the Nuggets are getting more opportunities which might be the same situation for them here in game 2. We could see a tighter game as the Suns can still put the pressure against the Nuggets but I simply can't trust the Suns with this tight of a spread when they barely took down the Nuggets during the regular season and that's when the Nuggets didn't have Jokic.



Another shocking loss from the Celtics as their second-half struggle continues and the Sixers won't be needing Embiid if they can't fix that issue in the next game.

∆ N. Jokic 10+ rebounds / J. Murray 5+ assists / D. Booker 5+ assists @1.94 ∆  won

I can't imagine myself not taking the 10 after Jokic had 19 rebounds in just over 30 minutes of play in Game 1. He literally had 4/5 boards on a single possession while Ayton just sat there and watched, hilarious stuff.

The Suns need to make some adjustments on how they guard Murray after he got every switch/shot he wanted in Game 1. I expect a lot tighter defense on him, and i wouldn't be surprised if he gets doubled right away, let Porter Jr. and Gordon beat you.

Booker has 25 assists in his last three postseason games, he's been dishing the rock... The Nuggets blitz/hard trap him on every side PnR and he got some easy assists to Ayton. There's no need for Denver to stop doing this because it's effective, take the ball out of his hands and don't let him shoot 3s. It will be interesting to see if the Suns decide to switch the screener, trapping Booker will be more difficult (almost impossible) if KD sets those screens.

Boston Celtics vs Philadelphia 76ers

The Philadelphia 76ers will visit and face the Boston Celtics in game 1 at TD Garden, Celtics' key injury Danilo Gallinari (knee) is out while the 76ers' key injury Joel Embiid (knee) is out right now, this is game 1 now that Joel Embiid can not play for the 76ers this is a crucial game for the 76ers moving forward, that could get back on game 2 but game 1 will be for the Celtics for sure, so I am picking the Boston Celtics,

Denver Nuggets vs Phoenix Suns

The Denver Nuggets are facing the Phoenix Suns in their game 2 at Ball Arena, Nuggets' key injury Collin Gillespie (Lower leg) out for the season, while the Phoenix Suns don't have any injuries at all, this 2nd game I think the Denver Nuggets in at the momentum and if the Suns don't manage to disrupt that then this is going to be a win for the Nuggets again, and not at Nuggets home court at their 1st game the Nuggets got a decent spread and Nikola Jokic manage a double-double on the 1st game while this could be another win for the Nuggets,

NBA today's games

Boston Celtics (1.23) VS Philadelphia 76ers(4.40)  

Celtics injury Danilo Gallinari has knee injury and can not play, 76ers injury Joel Embiid is doubtful if he can play, right now it is game 1 for the Celtics and 76ers so we can not say for sure if who's going to win even though the Celtics had a huge odds but I like the Celtics more so my pick is the Boston Celtics for this game


Denver Nuggets (1.54) VS Phoenix Suns(2.56)

Nuggets injury April 9 Collin Gillespie is out for this season, while Suns doesn't have any injuries at all, this is game 2 for this game and the Denver Nuggets have 1 their 1st game it was a great spread for the Nuggets moving on with their 1st game so if they done it with the Suns I think they can also do it again in this game, so my pick is the Denver Nuggets,

The Lakers don't have much of a choice here, even the bench needed to step up their game so that they can keep up with the Warriors offensive tactics. Hopefully Darvin Ham will not do the same mistakes of Frank Vogel where they had the size advantage yet they prefer to adopt a small ball to keep up with the Warriors, as expected, that didn't work. Anyway, they learned a thing or two about that mistake.

Regarding on the games later, Boston Celtics is a heavy favorite because Joel Embiid of the 76ers remains doubtful if he can play with a sprain on his knee. I'll try to bet on that live but for now, here's mine.

Phoenix Suns vs Denver Nuggets -4.5 .. Good luck!

3/3 again. Nice. These last few games had been good to me. And that was a wild profit for the Miami Heat ML. Loved it. Congratulations to all the winners.


Even without Embiid. Hmmm, that's interesting because I am also doubtful about betting for the Celtics.
I think I will just take the safe path and accept that +10.5 for the Philadelphia 76ers. Harden could go nuts and so do Tyrese Maxey. These two guys offensively could create havoc and then add Tobias Harris if he finds his rhythm on his perimeter shots.
Add: Over 211.5

But I am taking the Denver Nuggets over the Phoenix Suns, I know adjustments do happen but I cannot still see the Suns winning yet until this series goes back to their home and gain some confidence back. The momentum is still with the Nuggets, they are hot and it might keep on going until they leave Ball Arena. Denver Nuggets -4.5
Good luck everyone.

Now that the Warriors are staying for another shot at the finals here are my picks for tomorrow's game

Boston Celtics VS Philadelphia 76ers

The stake odds for this game are 1.21 for the Celtics and 4.60 for the 76ers, Right now Danilo Gallinari can not play for the Celtics while Joel Embiid is doubtful he's going to play for the 76ers, for me, the Celtics were well-known in their defensive type of play while the 76ers are on the offense but the Celtics now are so great with their offense aswell if you look at Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum those two are the key offense for the Celtics but this is game 1 so expect the unexpected, so for this game, my pick is the Celtics,



Denver Nuggets VS Phoenix Suns

The stake odds for this game are 1.54 for the Nuggets and 2.55 for the Suns, for this game Collin Gillespie is out for this season, while the Phoenix Suns don't have any injuries at the moment, for this game right now the Suns might have Kevin Durant but I really don't know if he can be trusted going to the Finals for me the Denver Nuggets is a big threat for the Golden State Warriors facing for the Finals, so my pick is the Denver Nuggets,
