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.

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!

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.

It was a win for the Denver Nuggets, the Timberwolves have done their all to make a lead but to no avail, the Nuggets were really so tight it was the 1st quarter lead that the Nuggets have given the Timberwolves and they didn't make it last that the Nuggets have gotten their hand to it at the end of the 1st half,

My Bets for today's games.

Memphis Grizzlies VS Los Angeles Lakers

The Memphis Grizzlies will face the Los Angeles Lakers for game 5 at the FedExForum, Key injuries for the Grizzlies, Steven Adams (knee) out and Jake LaRavia (calf) is out, while Key Injuries for the Lakers, Dennis Schroder (Achilles) Questionable, Anthony Davis (foot) Questionable, and LeBron James (foot) Questionable, for this game, I think most of those questions will still play but they are playing in the home court of the Grizzlies so my pick is the Memphis Grizzlies,

Sacramento Kings VS Golden State Warriors

The Sacramento Kings will face the Golden State Warriors for Game 5 at the Golden 1 Center, Key injuries for the Kings, Matthew Dellavedova (finger) is out and De'Aaron Fox (finger) is Questionable, while Andre Iguodala (wrist) is out, for me, we all know the history of the Warriors not winning away so for me this is kind of concluded that my pick for this game is the Sacramento Kings,

I will go with the follows :

Cavs -6.5 @2.07 all or nothing for Cavs so they must go big

Grizzlies -3.5 as I do think they can provide a much better defense tonight

Bucks -10.5 but I'm skeptical that Heat will come strong tonight after last epic performance.

4 games people!  

1st bet:
Cleveland Cavaliers - New York Knicks‍ - Cleveland Cavaliers (-5.5) A must-win for the Cavaliers. I am expecting they will put everything here. This game will probably be so hot and will become a physical game. I am rooting for the Cavs to prolong this series.

Memphis Grizzlies - Los Angeles Lakers‍ - Memphis Grizzlies (-2.5) This will be the first time I am betting for the Grizzlies. I want to see them win and just like the game above, take this series to game 6 or 7 for more entertaining battles. Ja Morant will still play despite the hand injury, I don't think he will be resting that hand until this playoffs is over.

Milwaukee Bucks - Miami Heat‍ - Milwaukee Bucks (-10.5) - What Butler did in Game 4 was super amazing but I doubt the Bucks will let it happen again. I expect a harder defense against him, maybe put Portis for height advantage or one of their leading defenders and make sure he won't get an easy score.

Sacramento Kings - Golden State Warriors‍ - Golden State Warriors (-1.5) Bring the momentum. That's the key for the Warriors to steal this one game in Sacramento. They started badly but when they got back home something changed. The Kings will probably try to get their confidence back from their fans but they are up against the former champions, they are used to that type of change in environment.

Good luck everyone.

∆ D. Mitchell 25+ PA / J. Allen 15+ PR / J. Brunson 1+ steal @1.80 ∆  X

If the Cavs want to force game 6, they'll need Donavan Mitchell to step up big. 5-18 simply ain't going to cut it. Mitchell has covered the line in 3/L4, including both games in Cleveland. They just need his production tonight, badly.

Mobley often ends up guarding Randle 1-1 in the high post area with Allen taking care of Robinson under the basket, the Cavs have to do anything to limit Knicks' orebounding. Allen has cleared the line 3 out of the first 4 games.

Cavs are averaging close to 16 turnovers per game in the series so far, and Brunson has recorded at least one steal in each game. Since this is an elimination game for CLE, there could be some nervy moments early on...or late (if the game is tight), and besides the Cavs do not have the most free-flowing offense, i could see plenty of TOs again.

I missed the games today I fell asleep last night, but here are my picks for tomorrow's game,

Cleveland Cavaliers VS New York Knicks

The stake odds for this game are 1.46 for the Cavaliers and 2.85 for the Knicks, Right now Dylan Windler can not play for the Cavaliers while Jericho Sims can not play for the Knicks and Quentin Grimes is questionable if he's able to play, Right now the New York Knicks is leading this game with 3-1 1 more win and they will going to the finals, for me, I will take my chances and Knicks really got a tempting odds right now so my pick is the New York Knicks,

Memphis Grizzlies VS Los Angeles Lakers

The stake odds for this game are 1.58 for the Grizzlies and 2.46 for the Lakers, Jake LaRavia, and Steven Adams, can not play for the Grizzlies, while LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Dennis Schroder are all questionable if they can play the game, but just like in their previous games I think that they will still be going to play despite I think that the Lakers is winning this,

Milwaukee Bucks VS Miami Heat

The stake odds for this game are 1.15 for the Bucks and 5.80 for the Heat, Right now Giannis Antetokounmpo is questionable if he's going to play, while  Tyler Herro can not play for the Heat, and Bam Adebayo is questionable if he's going to play, but for the game, the Milwaukee Bucks will need a win, so for this game, I doubt that the Bucks will let the Heat win this that easily I think that the Bucks will regain a win again and because of it my pick is the Bucks,

Sacramento Kings VS Golden State Warriors

The stake odds for this game are 2.10 for the Kings and 1.77 for the Warriors, Right now Matthew Dellavedova can not play for the Kings, and De'Aaron Fox has finger injuries but is doubtful if he's going to play for the Kings while Andre Iguodala can not play for the Warriors, for this game he Warriors will be needing this away match to be a winning game for them I really think the momentum has already shifted to the Warriors that is why my pick for this game is the Golden State Warriors,

I love your picks, especially the Memphis -4 as we could really see some home cooking here. The issue in the playoffs is more on ref blaming as if they are favoring the home team, so yeah, why not ride on that as well. Memphis games are always fun to watch due to the swagger of the team, not only Ja Morant, so this might only be their last win in the series before the LA Lakers eliminate them on their home court.

Additionally, I'll also tail on the Warriors. They are a bad team on the road, but I'll skip that for this particular game.

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! 😀

Not just you mate, same here, got nothing today because it turns out that the spreads was just big enough to cover as the underdogs were really fighting to gain another chance.

Anyway, betting in-favor of the Warriors is not really a bad idea even if they are now on the road and that bet you got might push through because the Kings #1 offensive weapon, De'Aaron Fox, might not play because of his finger injury. In-fact, he is listed questionable as of now.

As for me, I'll wait for the final tip-off just to make sure because some sources are also telling that Fox is already cleared to play in Game 5 but the odds are saying the opposite thing because the Warriors are currently the favorites to win @ 1.80

Wolves manage to cover the handicap. I don't know what happened with the Nuggets. It's already under 1 minute mark if I remember
It is right they are still leading 6 points.

I was under the impression that they'll be able to cover the spread, but sad to say those unnecessary mistake keeps the Wolves close.

almost an OT it's just experienced 2 time MVP use his skills to separate, Congrats to whoever takes the risk of taking the handicap for Wolves,
well covered with only 3 points deficit.

Yeah, I almost had it perfect. Perfect Loss.  Damn it!
Thanks to the Clippers' run, I won one of the team picks and some player props and then I hit the right over-and-under 3 games parlay too. Whew! I got scared I will not have enough budget for the games later.

I forgot to bet on Jokic's triple-double. I remembered Russell Westbrook @5.34 but it didn't hit. 2 rebounds and 2 assists shy to win it.
Didn't expect for Boston Celtics to be careless at the end of the game. I was so sure I will win it and there was a time they are at 13-point lead, iirc. That's when I stopped watching and switched to the Nuggets game until the commentator said the Hawks won. After watching the highlight I was shocked at how Trae Young carried his team for the win. Good game.

Tough luck for me - none of my best bets have won because the underdogs fought hard, and the Atlanta Hawks even won their game against the Celtics. But that's part of gambling - you don't win all the time. With that loss, I'm inclined to bounce back tomorrow with a bet all in on the Warriors. Double or nothing, here we go.

The Clippers had an uphill battle against the Suns without Kawhi and Paul George. Westbrook was carrying their weight for a bit but just couldn’t keep it up tonight. I definitely didn’t expect the Atlanta Hawks to be the team to upset today though. I would have picked Minnesota to be the upset today and it looked like they were going to after the first quarter.

It seems that none of the home teams are likely to cover the spread in today's games. The only team that has a chance to cover the spread at this point is the Phoenix Suns, but given the current state of the game, it's uncertain whether they will, as the LA Clippers are putting up a good fight. The game is very close so far, and either team could come out as the winner.

Regarding the Wolves vs Nuggets game, the Nuggets only have a chance to cover the spread if the game goes into overtime.

update

NO OT!

The money line parlay bet for all 3 favorites for today's game would have been lost already, Ice cold Trae and the Atlanta Hawk causing a major upset at the TD Garden.

Of course everyone would have expected Boston Celtics to close the series today, since the momentum was already on their side, but without Dejounte Murray, Trae Young and John Collins were able to force Celtics to a game 6, and with Atlanta Hawks having home court for game 6, this could go all the way to a potential game 7.

For the other 2 games, Clippers are already still giving the Phoenix Suns a run for their money, as Clippers are up by 9 points into half time, while it's just a 3 point difference game between Denver Nuggets and Timberwolves, this is the worse night to back the favorites to cover those big points spread of theirs.

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?

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

Enjoy the games people!

Player history, brother.
And the way they are playing today, (Grizzlies versus Lakers) they are more focused on protecting the rim and defensive plays. Even Jarred Vanderbilt had 3 blocks in this game. Lebron also had a share of 2 blocks.

3 games are available, and homecourt advantage for the teams who are in the lead.

I tried making a Moneyline parlay for all the favorites and ending their series but it's just x1.45 in total. Sadly.
Denver Nuggets versus Minnesota Timberwolves - Denver Nuggets (-10.5) I just love this Nuggets team and I know they will end it now. It will just be a matter of the spread if they can cover it.

Boston Celtics versus Atlanta Hawks‍ - Boston Celtics (-10.5) They gave one, but it's too obvious they can dominate the Hawks if they play harder. 3 times I won my Celtics bet and all the spreads were covered. I wish they will do it one more time.

Phoenix Suns versus Los Angeles Clippers - Los Angeles Clippers (10.5) - Clippers will probably lose but I want to see how far Westbrook would go trying to survive the series. The +10 should be enough to cover it if they will hustle again like in Game 4 even without Kawhi Leonard.
