Judging the Celtics performance against the Hawks, they weren't that impressive to me and because of that, I think that a healthy Sixers can eliminate them.

The 76ers will be the underdog in their matchup, and that's a good point of view because the 76ers' defense was really impressive in the first round. It's the offensive team versus the defensive team, and normally, the defensive team will win (except for the Warriors), so let's see.

According to the series betting odds, the Celtics are heavy favorites to win the series:

Celtics 1.32
76ers 3.45

The series handicap is -1.5 for the Celtics.

That's pretty good value on the sixers.  Not really getting anything by betting the Celtics too much.

In the Knicks series I like the Knicks here.  Not just because I'm a fan but because they are tight odds and with home court I just think there is value there.

Playoffs heating up looking at the gs and sac game and can't figure which way I'm gonna lean.  Thinking golden state but 7.5 might be too much.

It might be a trap because the handicap is somehow much lower compared to the listed odds where the 76ers are 3:1 underdogs, but who knows, nothing is certain because we've already come and faced lot of surprises already in the 1st round. This will be a tough match-up and Celtics might bounce back after having a bad performance in the 1st round with the Atlanta Hawks.

Boston won and sent the Hawks home for the year. That leaves the Celtics matching up with the Philadelphia 76ers in the second round of the playoffs. That sort of feels like the eastern conference finals to me as I don’t think the Knicks or Heat are going to be able to beat whoever wins between the Celtics and 76ers.

Heat is underestimated too when they are fighting against Milwaukee Bucks. Giannis got injured and off on some games but still heat dominates them with or without Giannis on Bucks. Butler is a monster once he is very healthy wile his team mates is now contributing properly to help him.
Also, an underrated team because the Heat wasn't that hard to defeat and Jimmy was not that explosive in the regular games and was not really unstoppable. But when the playoff commenced after clinching a spot and defeated the #1 seed in the East which is the Bucks in the first round, their odds to win the championship increased radically just because of that. In the next phase, they will be tested again by the Knicks.

And since Celtics and 76ers will be a close fight. I’m assuming that whoever win will be on great stress and fatigue that can affect their performance for the conference finals.

I went on the Atlanta on the + side of the match. Unfortunately, they almost covered it, but Celtics was too good for them. Young and Murray is not enough to upset the Celtics that night.

Lakers vs Memphis, very hard but let's say I like the chance of Memphis, ML for me or nothing. No offense to those who are going to back up Lakers here. But I think Ja Morant will explode in this game.

That could be true. I am more inclined with the 76ers taking the Eastern Conference Finals. But we will see, it's just a prediction for now because they managed to win a sweep despite how hard it is for other teams to do the same.

I would have posted earlier but I didn't bet til 2 games had already started. I was pretty sure the Warriors were gonna take over the series and eventually going to close it out. The lakers are fading, Lebron is doing good as expected but everyone else isn't making that much of an impact. I think the Lakers might just blow it.
It's okay, and congratulations again.
Lakers. Hmm, I see Anthony Davis had been doing the right job, maybe it's the other players that had been lacking contribution and the hustle. Reaves is also good, he always loves the competitive game. Game 6 will be their best chance to win this series, if they cannot do it, Game 7 will be a big problem for them at Memphis home.

3/3 for me tonight. Finally, a perfect bet again after a long time.  Grin
Boston Celtics so I am taking the -5.5 only @1.71.
Over 229.5 seems to be reachable too so I will add it to my singles. Also, Jayson Tatum 44.5 PRA.

I surely thought that the Boston Celtics will eventually win this game and as my prediction on who's going to face in the final I think Boston Celtics VS Golden State Warriors or the winner between Memphis Grizzlies VS Los Angeles Lakers team, I know the Warriors Still need 1 more win but isn't it obvious that they will have a match in their home court which mean there is a large percentage that the Golden State Warriors will win this,



here are the result of my picks for today's game

Atlanta Hawks VS Boston Celtics (BOS WINS 4-2) SCORE 120 - 128 - WIN

From start to finish the Boston Celtics are on the rampage in this game they surely don't want to lose this opportunity even though the Hawks pretty much have the needed spread it was not enough because the Boston Celtics have also pulled up and kept their lead on top, it was a win for the Celtics so they are moving to the finals, Malcolm Brogdon got 17 points, Marcus Smarts got 22 points, Jayson Tatum has a double-double 14 rebounds and 30 points, Jaylen Brown 32 points,

Took a little bit of risk tonight. Hoping Miami can lose but cover the points. Feeling pretty good about the Warriors game if I make it to that leg of the parlay still alive. Good luck to everyone in tonights games.
Congratulations yahoo62278! Perfection! How I wish I saw your pick earlier and I could've tailed it. $433! Sweet!

2/4 for me.
Grizzlies and Warriors are my only wins but I lost my Bucks and Cavs bet.
A really surprising ending tonight and we already have a pair for the 2nd round in the Eastern Conference. New York Knicks and Miami Heat will meet.
I bet those teams who played in the play-in tournament are a little bit shocked and somehow boosted, the Heat gave them a reason to pursue winning every game even though they will be in the mini-tourney. Remember, the Heat needed to play twice before they claim the 8th seed.

Also, the Warriors are suddenly in the lead. Just as I predicted, they can be scary when they start a momentum. Mike Brown should've known that.
I would have posted earlier but I didn't bet til 2 games had already started. I was pretty sure the Warriors were gonna take over the series and eventually going to close it out. The lakers are fading, Lebron is doing good as expected but everyone else isn't making that much of an impact. I think the Lakers might just blow it.

Celtics vs Hawks.

The line opened at +5.5 for the home team and is now at +7.5. Probably a lot of money is going to the Celtics, thinking the series will end tonight. Well, let's see about that, as it could be another scenario like the Miami Heat vs Bucks game.

The edge is all on the Hawks here. They have momentum from the big win on the road, and Murray is back after his Game 1 suspension. So, I don't see any reason why not to take the Hawks moneyline.

Just for fun, I would also take the Atlanta Hawks. But obviously, the Celtics are the better team here, despite what we saw in their previous game. Of the last 5 games, it was the Celtics who were dictating the pace. Or, the last game was very special for the Hawks because Trae Young got lucky with his last shot that sank in. But, I don't think it will happen again if we use the law of averages.

So there's a big reason why the line has moved up.

But, maybe +7.5 is a safe play for the Hawks, so they don't easily give up, even if they are already in a big deficit.
Or that is the real shot that Trae Young loved. IMO, it's not a lucky shot, that's his spot.  Wink
+7.5 Hawks should be cool for a safe bet. But as you said in the first sentence, the Celtics are the better team here. They must've forgotten that Trae can make those types of almost half-court shots and gave him a lot of room to take it which is a big mistake.
I like to cut just a little bit for the Boston Celtics so I am taking the -5.5 only @1.71. That should be enough just in case the Hawks will play a close game trying to force a Game 7.
Over 229.5 seems to be reachable too so I will add it to my singles. Also, Jayson Tatum 44.5 PRA. I'd like to see him get hot behind the arc because his last games had been below average.
Good luck everyone.

Here are my picks for today's game we only got 1 game for today,

Atlanta Hawks VS Boston Celtics

The stake odds for this game are 3.35 for the Hawks and 1.35 for the Celtics, Right now there are no injuries for the Hawks while Danilo Gallinari  has a knee injury and may return on April 29, for this game the Boston Celtics is on the lead with 3 points while the Hawks is down with 2, the Celtics will need just 1 more game win and they will proceed to the finals while the Hawks will need to tie this game, but for me, the Boston Celtics is OK with playing at home of the other teams so there are no problem with them moving forward, that is why my pick is the Boston Celtics in this game,

The Atlanta Hawks will face the Boston Celtics in game 6 at the State Farm Arena, there are no key injuries for the Atlanta Hawks at the moment while key injuries for the Boston Celtics is Danilo Gallinari (knee) is out and can not play right now it is 3 - 2 and the Boston Celtics lead the game 1 more win for the Boston Celtics and they will move forward to the finals while the Atlanta Hawks will need to tie this game series, moving forward, for this game my pick is the Boston Celtics,

Congratulations, that's some risk, because Memphis Grizzlies were on the brink of the choking of their big lead yet again, but I guess being at home gave them the liberty find the momentum yet again, close out in a great a fashion, now all I want is for this series to extend to game 7, it's gone be such an event to no miss.

Results on my picks for Yesterday's game

Cleveland Cavaliers VS New York Knicks (NYK WINS 4-1) SCORE 95 - 106 - WIN

An unbelievable win for the New York Knicks no one had ever seen that coming but from start to finish the Knicks is an advantage in this game it is pretty much inevitable that the Cleveland Cavaliers doesn't have the chance to get back up because the Knicks have already exposed the Cavaliers, Immanuel Quickley with 19 points, RJ Barrett with 21 points and Jalen Brunson with 23 points,

Memphis Grizzlies VS Los Angeles Lakers (LAL LEADS 3-2) SCORE 116 - 99 - LOST

It seems that the Los Angeles Lakers injuries list was already getting in the way of the Lakers, which is why the Memphis Grizzlies are having an easy time making their points Jaren Jackson Jr. has a double-double of 10 rebounds and 18 points, Ja Morant has a double-double of 10 rebounds and 31 points and Desmond Bane has a double-double aswell of 10 rebounds and 33 points,

Milwaukee Bucks VS Miami Heat (MIA WINS 4-1) SCORE 126 - 128 - LOST

Milwaukee Bucks isn't down and will not proceed in the Finals, it was an incredible performance for Jimmy Butler even though Giannis Antetokounmpo played this game Jimmy Butler is a powerhouse play-off playing guy that has experience performing in play-offs, and it surely paid off, Bam Adebayo has a triple-double of 10 rebounds 10 assist and 20 points Gabe Vincent got 22 points and Jimmy Butler got 42 points,

Sacramento Kings VS Golden State Warriors (GSW LEADS 3-2) SCORE 116 - 123 - WIN

The Sacrament o doesn't know who and what hit them it was a solid play for the Golden State Warriors they surely win this game, it was an awesome clutch play for the Warriors, Draymond Green got 21 points, Klay Thompson got a solid 25 points and Stephen Curry has 31 points winning the game,

I'm going completely against the grain tonight.  Taking all the toad dogs.

Atlanta +13 lol.  Why not.

Clippers -12.5. Russ masterclass incoming lol.

Timberwolves ML.  Seriously...

This might completely blow up in my face but have we ever had a 3 game playoff night with all the games being 20 point blowouts?  Against the wall someone has to show up right?  Right?.  Will probably regret this but hey how maybe not Smiley

Enjoy the games people!

Good luck, man! You already have one win with Atlanta +13. You should have gone with the moneyline.

Regarding the Wolves, they have a decent chance since they are currently leading the game. It looks like the Nuggets are struggling to close this game, but let's see; the game is not over yet.

As for the Clippers -12.5, that's too ambitious. What are the betting odds for that one?

It was actually plus +12.5 spread last night.

Tonight got my picks in.

Laying hard on the Knicks +5.5
Taking the heat +12.  Think it's a trap bet but gotta ride the hot ticket.
Laying hard on Memphis -4.  Home cooking.
And taking golden state ML.  Was tough to bet on them but fox with a fractured figer on his shooting hand is going to be tough to overcome.

Enjoy the Knicks.  Knicks in 5! Knicks in 5! Knicks in 5! 😀

4 for 4 I only wish I took the heat money line dam HIMmy Butler is playoff good.  The way that series was played I think I'd rather see the Bucks against my knicks but here we go!  Hitting the under on every one of these games hard.  This is going to be a drag out 80s/90s type of basketball games in this series.  Hope it goes the distance.  

Yahoo nice hit on your parlay.

Bettors would not settle for the money line and that includes you and me because even if it was too tempting to bet with because this is a do or die game for the Bucks. So, it is more safe to wager for the handicap but same as you, I truly wish I spared some for the money line as that is surely a flowing honey if I did.
Anyway, 2nd round is almost around the corner and the Heat vs Knicks will surely be a good sight to see. A vintage basketball indeed in the making.

Congratulations, @yahoo62278!

That's a nice parlay win. It would have been bigger if you took the Miami Heat moneyline, but it's still a decent win. You know, we don't win parlays all the time, so winning one is already a huge success.

That's the kind of parlay where I would say you played it safe. Congratulations again!

It's indeed a good day for @yahoo62278 Cool Congrats again mate.

Meanwhile my bet for Bucks failed because the Miami Heat was just too hot mainly Butler and even if Giannis and Middleton scored impressively, it wasn't enough to keep the team afloat and force themselves a way for a Game 6 as the Heat eliminated them and did a history for being the first play-in team to play in the 2nd rounds of the playoffs.

It's also worth noting that aside from Jimmy Butler, they also got Bam Adebayo who did a good job as he got a triple double.
