Nice parlay! At current odds of +1072, it's definitely attractive right now, especially since we've already seen some upsets in the playoffs. The 76ers could win one on the road, like the Hawks did in the first round against the Celtics.

For the Suns, Game 2 is very important since they don't have home court advantage. A win here would give them better confidence as they head back to their home court, where they will host the Nuggets in Game 3 and 4.

Good luck, @OgNasty

Good for you as Steph lead his Warriors to another road win in their series against the Kings.

I guess Randle is still the main guy for the Knicks, as we can see, his absence is really felt in game 1. They don't have inside presence, although Toppin try to be that guy that will replace Randle, it's not enough to get and they lose the homecourt advantage. Miami Heat is really looking dangerous again in this series.

Not sure about the Lakers going full game 7 series against the Warriors, prediction is 6 GSW all the way.

Well the Knicks VS Heat was close by 1 and watching the match it was really an enjoyable game to watch, again this is really an exciting game for me the Heat have taken the lead because of their determination to flip the tables on the Knicks but you can not count out the Knicks if they lose the 1st match so I think for the next game I am still going with the New York Knicks,

While the Warriors VS Kings game was already sealed by the Golden State Warriors winning the game with an excellent performance for Stephen Curry, he scored 50 points a remarkable feat in his career, and if you watch the highlight you can just see Stephen Curry while he shoots the ball, it was a highlight for Stephen Curry,


And you are right the Heat have put it down to the Knicks tonight, Jimmy Butler has shown great play but this time with the help of his other teams and a good spread to the Heat this time, we can not take out the New York Knicks so easy like that this is just game 1 and we can see it on the next game it the Heat can still keep it up or not,

My picks for the game today

Sacramento Kings VS Golden State Warriors SCORE 100 - 120 - WIN

New York Knicks VS Miami Heat SCORE 101 - 108 - LOST

I can’t say that I think this bet will win, but given the odds I had to take the Philadelphia 76ers to beat the Boston Celtics tomorrow in a parlay with the Phoenix Suns beating the Denver Nuggets. Like I said, I don’t really think this will be a winning bet, but given the odds it seems liked the right bet to make. Even with Embiid out and the Suns struggles.

If this was regular season then betting against the Warriors on the road would have been a no brainer, but being the playoffs it's hard to bet against them. Lakers will not be easy and 7 games is very likely. Going to depend on if the Lakers bench can produce.

I got both games wrong. I bet on the Knicks even though I know that Julius Randle is questionable for that game. I guess the Knicks really need Randle to win against the Heat.

I also bet against the defending champion because they are on the road and the record shows they are very bad on the road. But I guess the heart of the champion is different at playoff time. Congrats to those who believe in the defending champions.

It will be a good series between GSW and the Lakers. It is just the second round but it is reminiscent of the consecutive seasons Lebron and Curry meet in the finals. I think this will be a long series and will go the full 7 games again. This time, GSW have the home advantage so I am betting on them to win this series.

This is what exactly happened today with the New York Knicks.
Julius Randle was sitting out and watching from the sidelines his team get beat by the Heat at home. It was really bad because they were leading by more than 12 in the first half at one point and then down to only 5 point lead by half time.
Then Miami turned on their playoff mode and it all collapsed for the Knicks.
They got smoked in the 3rd quarter and it just continued on from there.
To me Kyle Lowry is different in the post season since he was on the Raptors during their championship season, so he also has the experience with how the referee's call the games in the playoffs.
But it is only game 1 in the series, so it is not over yet and hopefully Randle can return in time before the next games are played this coming week.

Now it is Golden State's turn to see if they can win this and it is looking that way late into their 3rd quarter with a 12 point lead of their own.
Fox is already with 4 fouls so he left the quarter already.
It is looking like last year champions are wanting to retain their title with this performance they are putting on in this game 7.

Me either. Stephen Curry already passed a long standing record with his first three pointers during the match.
Playoff Warriors once engaged are nearly impossible to count them out.

Think the rest of the series leans in on can julius randle play effectively with his ankle issue and now that Jimmy rolled his ankle.  Can he play as effective.  If both can't I give the advantage to the Knicks.  Jimmy is that team.  Either way it's gonna be a good series.

As far as today's game I got the Champs and the moneyline.  I can't bet against steph even though the odds are stacked against them. 

Knicks is good and all but I believe that Heat will win again if Jimmy Butler ends up playing as well as he has so far. This is why I believe that we could see anything happen. Overall, Knicks is a better team for sure, I mean when you look at 5 positions, I would give 4 of them to Knicks, aside from Jimmy Butler who has played differently during this playoff period. After all it is going to be a tough one without a doubt.

The early games are a bit different as well, it is not the same thing at all, the regular times for them is a lot better for them. All in all I think the best thing to do for today is to stay away, we can see the games of each series and then we can make a decision based on that, doesn't make sense to take risks and put the first games as bets, just lets see how it will be.

The games are too early but I am able to make the bets earlier.

New York Knicks vs Miami Heat
The Miami Heat will visit the New York Knicks tonight for the first Game of the second round of playoffs. If the Knicks can limit Jimmy Butler from scoring, it will be a hard game for the Heat to pick up the slack. The Knicks should be able to win this in their home.
Knicks key injuries: Quentin Grimes (shoulder) questionable, Julius Randle (ankle) questionable

Sacramento Kings vs Golden State Warriors
The Sacramento Kings will face the Golden State Warriors for the conclusion of their series as Game 7 of the first round will commence tonight at Chase Center. I do not know if the Golden State can pull another win on the road against the Kings as they did on Game 5, but I know the Kings will be ready for them. Betting on the Kings since I still believe GSW is still trash on the road.
Warriors key injuries: Andre Iguodala (wrist) out

^Nice picks @YuginKadoya but I am going the other way for the other game.
2 games guys. First in two hours and the next in 4 hours. Better place your bets.

New York Knicks versus Miami Heat‍ - Miami Heat ML @2.70 I am going for the road team. I think they are filled with confidence after beating the number 1 seed and the momentum might be carried from that last game. Would love to see Jimmy Buckets going nuts again and Bam Adebayo dominating the paint.
Add: Over 206.5

Sacramento Kings versus Golden State Warriors‍ - Golden State Warriors ML @2.01 The odds are not that far and I think the Warriors' playoff experience was not considered much. I like what Shaq said last night during the NBA on TNT. "The pressure will be on the Kings." It's their home, there's that mentality of trying to win this game by force so they might end up being in a position where they cannot handle the pressure. The experience of the Warriors is the big reason why I am betting for them here in Game 7.

Good luck everyone.

Well, The Memphis Grizzlies just have a few notable players in my opinion 1st Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, Xavier Tillman, and Jaren Jackson Jr. They can score 30 to 40 plus points per game but it is not really consistent and it could also just because they are feeling that they can do it that day, and surely lack experience in playing at the play-offs, that is why with an old man Lebron James that is pretty much consistent in getting 30 to 40 points per game even Anthony Davis you can tell the difference between this teams, I am also going with the Golden State Warriors,


I think it is a trap aswell The Denver Nuggets are built to handle the pressure for the finals even though Kevin Durant is the same I can not say the same about his teammates, but surely that sportsbook is way giving too much credit for the Phoenix Suns, but if the game between the Phoenix Suns and the Denver Nuggets starts that odds will surely change,

Now my pick for the game tomorrow and I am excited about it,

Sacramento Kings VS Golden State Warriors

The stake odds for this game are 1.83 for the Kings and 2.03 for the Warriors, Right now Matthew Dellavedova can not play for the Kings while Andre Iguodala and Patrick Baldwin Jr. can not play for the Warriors, for this game this is a big game for both team this will determine who's going to advance and who's going to drop, I say it is a good thing for the Warriors to lose game 6 entering that game they are in a good mood and they are not playing like themselves, that is why they were outscored and getting turnovers was not really a great thing for the Warriors, but entering game 7 they will be pressured and they will be a better version of themselves inside the court and they will get a wake-up call for losing game 6, that is why my bet is the Golden State Warriors,

New York Knicks VS Miami Heat

The stake odds for this game are 1.52 for the Knicks and 2.60 for the Heat, Right now Quentin Grimes and Julius Randle are doubtful if they can play for the Knicks and Julius Randle is out for the season, while Tyler Herro, can not play for the Heat, Bam Adebayo is doubtful and Victor Oladipo is now out for this season, for this game I think I can see that the Knicks is the favorite to win but Jimmy Butler is a different monster while pressured, for this game the truth is I really don't know who to choose, that is why I have gone to the best option going with the favorite, the New York Knicks,

Nice win bro, congratulations. And to all the winners today. I bet there are many of us who did the same bet for the Nuggets.

Yes bro, thank you.

I guess the fact that the Nuggets showed how better of a team they are both the season and the first round when Murray and MPJ got back is why we took the bet for them.
They punished the Phoenix Suns for not rebounding, 49 against 38. The difference came mostly from the offensive rebounds which are done by Jokic and Gordon. The Suns will probably find a solution for this. They cannot stick with a lineup that focuses only on offense. They will need second chance opportunities to be able to win Game 2.

Congratulations to all bettors who sided with the Nuggets and you also mate, you even got the over/under option. 2 for 2 for you today.
Spread was easily covered because it was a 12-point game.

Looking at the bets here, it looks like almost everyone else are leaning towards the Nuggets which is quite surprising for me as I expected that there would be some as well who will lean on the Suns because they are as healthy as the Nuggets.

The Nuggets had a blowout win in Game 1 of the series. The second quarter was the difference-maker, but you could tell that the Nuggets are really playing with good ball movement. They are less predictable with Murray back to being a consistent scorer. The Nuggets have a good advantage since Jokic is a good passer, and they have good chemistry as a team. This season, they are quite better since Jokic will not be worn out, as everyone is contributing.

Nice that your bet hit, but in my opinion each series are different from each other, because the Denver Nuggets had it quite easy against struggling Timberwolves and Suns could convincingly win their series against Clippers doesn't mean Suns can't eliminate Denver Nuggets, I'm tilting towards the Denver Nugget to win this series too because they have a deeper roster with incredible players that could make important plays and keep the play going during the non Jokic and Jamal Murray minutes and that was very much vital for them today because despite the numbers both Jokic, Aaron Gordon and Murray had, all of them still had significant amount of time on the bench without needing to play very heavy minutes, but the series it's still very far from being over.

The home team controlled the first half, but in the second half, the road team is slowly coming back. However, since you chose the moneyline, I think that's a safe bet, and it will likely win easily. Well, we know in the NBA, nothing is impossible, so the Suns may come back in the second half, but the likelihood of a comeback is not that high, so I trust the home team will win this game.

As for my bet, I have them at -3.5, so I'm excited and hoping they will cover the spread.

By the way, the Joker is unstoppable; he already has a double-double.

∆ N. Jokic 10+ rebounds / A. Gordon 15+ PR / B. Brown 12+ PR @1.88 ∆  won

Denver rested their starters in the last two regular-season meetings between these two teams in April, knowing the exact matchups would have helped a bit today, but hey...

Jokic is averaging 12.4 rebounds so far in the playoffs, with only one game falling short of 10 against the Timberwolves. In two regular-season games he played against Phoenix, he had 15 and 18 rebounds. I expect this to be a very close contest, which means Nuggets starters will get close to 40 minutes, giving him plenty of time to get to 10.

Aaron Gordon has covered the 15+ PR line in all five games against Minnesota, going over 20 in four of them. If the Suns decide to put Durant on him, he must be aggressive and looking to score, they cannot afford to let Durant coast on defense.

Brown averaged 27 minutes off the bench for Denver in the series against MIN. I could see KCP having trouble with Booker on defense, thus Brown may get some extra playing time, and besides he is a better on-ball defender than KCP. Brown has covered the 12 PR line in 4/L5.

Same with you guys, I will be with the Nuggets side too.
Denver Nuggets - Phoenix Suns - Denver Nuggets (-1.5) @1.77 I took it 10 hours earlier. It changed to -2.5 for only @1.72 today.
Addition: Over 224.5 - @1.78

This game will probably be a fun one. Both offensive teams and they could also play hard defense if they want to. The spacing will probably be equal as both teams have a lot of shooters in their rosters.
Game 1, I think this is like testing the waters that is why I took the Over as I believe the results could become a high-scoring game.
Who will defend Kevin Durant? I think it will be Gordon but he will probably be in foul trouble in the process.
Good luck everyone.

We are thinking the same. The Phoenix Suns were able to beat the Clippers but were not able to build big leads against a crippled Clippers team. Nuggets, unlike the Clippers, are all healthy coming into the second round. Jokic has been playing spectacular and will be a big problem for the Suns.

---

Here is my bet for tonight.

The Phoenix Suns will visit the Denver Nuggets tonight for their first game of the second round of playoffs. Tip-off tonight at Ball Arena. The number 1 seed will heavily rely on Jokic to win this game against the star-studded Phoenix Suns. Hopefully, fatigue will not be a problem for Monty Williams, who plays a very short rotation and relies heavily on their stars.
