Boston Celtics - Atlanta Hawks

Celtics come into this game with great comfort because they won 3 games against the Hawks but even with all this comfort they will do everything to win this game and in case of victory they will have 4 wins against 1 win for the Hawks, so the Hawks will no longer have anything to do, while the Hawks will come to this game very determined to win the game in the hope of prolonging it for other remaining games and see if they can pass to another phase, but without a doubt that the Hawks will be with a lot of pressure in this game which will make them make a lot of mistakes that will be taken advantage of by the Celtics, that's why I believe that the Celtics will win this game

Denver Nuggets - Minnesota Timberwolves

Denver Nuggets comes to this game with a mission to win and move on to another phase, after in the last game they made some mistakes that made them lose the game and gave more hope to the opponent, in this game they need to keep calm and concentrate to achieve winning the game and with a victory in this game, they have 4 victories against 1 victory of their opponent and with that they move to another phase, while for the Minnesota Timberwolves a victory in the last game gave them hope and in this game they will play to win because with plus another victory are with chances to pass to another phase

Phoenix Suns - Los Angeles Clippers

the case of the Phoenix Suns is very interesting, they lost in the first game, but then they had a sequence of 3 games in which they won all of them, making them 3 wins against 1 win, in case they win today's game they will move to another phase , but their opponent the Los Angeles Clippers comes into this game willing to win the game to fight to pass to another stage, given the small odd value in favor of the Phoenix Suns and the last performance of the Phoenix Suns I think that the Phoenix Suns win this game

I can see that we have 3 games tomorrow and those mentioned match-up does have a 3-1 standing on their respective series, now I believe that at least two teams will advance on the second round because there's that one match-up that I'm not that sure if their series will end tomorrow. This should be fun!

Atlanta Hawks vs Boston Celtics -11 - Dejounte Murray out

Minnesota Timberwolves vs Denver Nuggets -8.5 -Anderson out and Nowell is questionable; none for the Nuggets.

Los Angeles Clippers +11.5 vs Phoenix Suns - Leonard and PG is still out for the Clippers while Payne for the Suns.

Honestly, it's quite a relief that I didn't made any bets today even the Lakers vs Grizzlies game because if I did, I will surely have another bad night betting because I'm already rooting for the Grizzlies to tie the series and the Bucks as well mainly because Giannis came back while the Heat is undermanned.

I'd say that I'd made the right thing though Back to the topic, playoffs Jimmy is totally different and he carried the team again. He is now the highest scorer in Miami Heat when it comes to playoff games followed by LeBron James and then Dwayne Wade.

It opened at -8.5, but now it has moved to -9.5.

I think this will be a blowout win by the Nuggets. They can't miss the opportunity to close the series, and obviously, they were the better team here. The Nuggets have covered the spread in Game 1 and Game 2, which means they played better at home. It will be hard for the Timberwolves to come back since the pressure on them is very high. Even if the line moves to -10, I still find it attractive.

All my previous bets are lost

Miami Heat vs Milwaukee Bucks

Los Angeles Lakers vs Memphis Grizzlies

But surely I really want to bounce back so this is my new bet for the following game,

Boston Celtics vs Atlanta Hawks (Over 227.5)

The Boston Celtics will face the Atlantic Hawks in game 5 at TD Garden, Key Injuries for the Celtics Danilo Gallinari (knee) is out while there are no injuries for the Hawks, 1 more win for the Celtics and they are advancing to the finals, for me, it is hard to predict who's going to win but I am betting for the total Over scores of 227.5 for both teams in this game

Denver Nuggets vs Minnesota Timberwolves

The Denver Nuggets will face the Minnesota Timberwolves in game 5 at Ball Arena, key injuries for the Nuggets, Collin Gillespie (lower leg) is out for the season, while Key injuries for the Timberwolves Naz Reid (wrist) is out, Jaden McDaniels (hand) is out, Kyle Anderson (eye) is out and Jaylen Nowell (knee) questionable if he can play, for this game, I am betting for the Denver Nuggets, 1 most win and they are advancing to the finals,

I have a feeling that all the home teams will win and cover the spread, as well as end the first round series with a victory.

Therefore, my bets are:

Boston Celtics -13
Denver Nuggets -9.5,
and Phoenix Suns -12.5.

I believe these games will result in a blowout win for the home teams.

This is what Jimmy Butler game when he is on hyper mode. But this kind of performance of him always gave him a lot of stress in his body that always result to out of gas on the later round of the playoffs. Same scenario last year when they lose against Boston in the finals of the conference. Jimmy is already suffering a lot of minor injuries that gave him burden to play well. Good thing now Adebayo is helping him to give an extra hand on defense and offense unlike before.


Betting on total blocks and steals is kinda hard. How can you analyze this kind of bet? Anyway Davis game today is more on defense and he let his teammates do the score. Probably he feel like everyone is on good shooting form.

Both teams are in danger, but the Milwaukee Bucks still have a decent chance of coming back if they can win their home game in Game 5. The Bucks will need to focus their defense on Butler and learn how to double him, as his hot streak is making his teammates confident and that makes their team very dangerous.

Despite not having a great regular season, we shouldn't forget that this team was once led to the NBA Finals by the same leader.

Congrats on your win betting on Jackson anyway.

Indeed he is insane.  Another unforgettable feat from Jimmy Buckets. This is what he wants, to be a leader and he definitely showed today how a leader can step up his game when they are broken. No Tyler Herro, no Victor Oladipo, and almost half of the Heat scores were from him.

1/2
Milwaukee Bucks -6.5 Lost, they are in danger.
LA Lakers -4.5 Won, Grizzlies in danger.
I got one miracle bet that made me happy today. I thought I am not going to win it until Anthony Davis blocked that last shot of Ja Morant with 0.8 seconds remaining in regulation. Here is the ticket.

The Defensive Player of the Year didn't disappoint me but what Anthony Davis did was shocking. 2 steals, and 4 blocks.

Jimmy was insane! He carried his team and now they lead the series 3-1 against the number 1 seed. Unfortunately, I missed betting on this game, so I didn't win anything. However, I just wanted to share how impressed I am with his performance.

Regarding taking the Heat to win the championship, the odds are currently 51.00.

In my opinion, they have a chance, but it's still quite a long shot. They will need to keep playing at a high level and hope that the other teams have some major issues or injuries. So, while it's possible, I would say it's not very likely.

Here's some trivia by the way about a series that is 3-1.


13 times only, and NBA is 70 years old already which translate to 18.5% chance of coming back. (13/70)

What Sweep? the Minnesota Timberwolves have already won game 4 against the Denver Nuggets, it seems that overtime was the right thing to do, and most of the Nuggets are gas out, but surely this could also affect the players on the Timberwolves so it is a double-edged sword for them  but they won that game, for me, game 5 will be a win for the Denver Nuggets this time,


It was a crucial game for the Milwaukee Bucks in their next match because the Miami Heat won 3 of their games, in Milwaukee Bucks if Giannis Antetokoumpo isn't 100% healthy and Jimmy Butler has fired up 56 points on the Bucks this is the end for the Milwaukee Bucks, if they struggle again in the next game for sure this is the end for the number 1 in the East,

Now here are the result of my picks today

Miami Heat VS Milwaukee Bucks (MIA LEADS 3-1) SCORE 119 - 114 - LOST

Los Angeles Lakers VS Memphis Grizzlies (LAL LEADS 3-1) SCORE 117 - 111 - WIN

Congratulations on your win, I really don't know how to say it but then I feel the Memphis Grizzlies were rather unlucky or could it be inexperience coming to play once again, the had they chance to win the game in the 4th quarter and if you watched the entire game, you'd probably agree with me. However, D'Angelo Russell with those clutch 3 3 pointers was the day saver for the Lakers, to be honest, and I strongly think If Grizzlies were just as healthy as the Lakers, it could have been a different series. It's probably series over for the Grizzlies, or do you see them crawling back into this ?

I put my money down on the Laker at -4.5.  I just feel like Lebron and AD both healthy is going to be too much for Ja and crew.  Plus I'm king of being a homer with the Lakers this post-season as I know Lebrons days are numbered when it comes to playing, and especially playing at a high level. 

They are up 10 points right now on Grizzlies, but of course we've got a lot of game left to play.  Was a long day at work, going to be difficult to stay up for this one lol

I'll go with the under 223.5 on the Lakers vs Memphis game later as both teams have been scoring less these past few games and the series is heating up between these two teams.

I just hope it doesn't go to OT like the Nuggets game yesterday, the under on that game should've been secured if only Jokic got both free throws at the end.


Edit: Wow the game actually went to OT. 

I just the Wolve's back are agaisnt the wall, and playing at homecourt, they really took advantage of it specially in the OT. I thought that Jokic will take over specially that there's no Kyle Anderson and then KAT got his 6 fouls and obviously not on the floor. It is only Rudy Gobert that he needs to contend in the middle. And so this series continues.

I'm taking the Heat on live betting +10.5. Bucks leading by double digit, 3rd quarter.

I think Miami can cut that lead in the 4th to make it a close game.


Easy money for us as the Lakers win in double digits.  

Giannis Antetokounmpo obviously still isn't healthy and you could tell from the low back massage at every time he goes to to bench, and he's doing his bit in a decent manner I'd say, he had 17 points in the first half alone, so I think he should get your bet.

Our fates are somewhat aligned for tonight on this because, I went with Giannis over 26.5 @ 1.76, so if neither teams get blown out in the 3rd Quarter and Giannis is able to stay in the game, because he playing very less aggressively like an healthy Giannis would, still I believe he should get us our money!

∆ J. Butler 1+ steals / K. Lowry 2+ assists / C. Martin 12+ PRA @1.62 ∆  X

Butler has 7 steals in the series, with at least 2 in each game. I don't see this trend ending in a pivotal game 4.

Lowry had three assists in games one, two, and three, and with Herro and Oladipo out, the Heat just don't have that many playmakers sitting around. Gabe Vincent was ineffective in game 3, thus Lowry is likely to play 25+ minutes today.

Caleb Martin has put up decent numbers off the bench, and his minutes have increased from 25 to 28 to 32 in game 3. With Strus being somewhat of a liability on defense, i think his minutes are secured. He's topped 12 PRA in each game (lowest 18).


∆ G. Antetokounmpo O43.5 PRA @1.86 ∆   won

The Bucks cannot afford to go down 3-1...if they do, it will be almost impossible to come back. This is a risk since we don't know how serious Giannis' injury is or how many minutes he'll get today, but he's shown he can play through issues like this before, basically playing on one knee in the finals against the Suns in their championship year. During the regular season, his PRA ranges between 50 to 55, so 43.5 felt like a bargain.

I feel like I'm beating the same thing over but the Lakers should have put the choke hold on them.  Tonight the game won't start as bad as it did for the Grizzlies as the other day.  I'm expecting a good game but a new sense of urgency from Memphis.  If they win tonight they have home court advantage in what effectively will be a best of 3 series.

They didn't. They lost yesterday.
This will be a task that needs hard work. We saw how Ja Morant can easily find his rhythm in the last 5 minutes of the game when he created his own 19 points consecutive run all by himself.
Anthony must play consistently which means the same as Games 1 and 3. 20+ points and 15+ rebounds. The defense should also be like Game 3 where he protected the rim a lot of times from those who would try to attack the paint. Another key to winning the game is to not let Desmond Bane create havoc early because that guy can get hot as fast as he could. Whoever is defending him last time must keep it up. Vanderbilt or Reaves.

Giannis is playing guys.

Miami Heat versus Milwaukee Bucks - Milwaukee Bucks (-6.5)
With Giannis around they can go back to spreading the floor more and wait for the kick out pass that will be received from Giannis. And him being back on the lineup might surprise the Miami Heat so I will take the Bucks now.

Los Angeles Lakers versus Memphis Grizzlies - Los Angeles Lakers (-4.5) I have not seen them play that hard in the season and that Game 3 game showed there is still room for them to be a better team. Preventing the Grizzlies to score just 9 points in the first quarter was really amazing.

Hit with the Knicks and the under yesterday but dropped the next 2 games.  Even Steven on the day.

Today I got Miami at home +7.5. I know giannis, but that's a lot of points on the road.

And I like Memphis to tie this one back up.  Taking Memphis and the ML.

Also took 2 prop bets.:

AD over 0.5 three pointers made
Lebron under 2.5  three pointers made.

Good luck and enjoy the games!
