Laid off last night and probably a good thing.  Gonna lay in on all 3 games today.  First one is an easy one for me no thinking involved

Knicks -1.5.  At home and basically a pickem.  The garden is gonna be lit, I expect a good hard nosed game that the Knicks pull out.

Wolves +2 at home.  Home games in the playoffs can't be played down and getting home dogs is an easy one for me.  Gimme the wolves

Same story on the third game, Atlanta +5.  Getting a decent amount of points.  I don't expect a sweep in this series.  Trey should shine as he normally does at home.  Gimme the home dog here.

Good luck and enjoy the games everyone.  Go knicks!!

The cockiness cost them the game. No team had ever recovered from a 3-0 lead so they should start thinking about what they will do next season. I want to see a meme where they will switch Mikal Bridges's face to Joel Embiid while doing the hand gesture 3 while shaking his head in front of the Sixers bench.
Something like this.

Yes, it's a 3. 3-0. It will be better if it is a moving image. Sorry for my bad paint copy-paste.

He kept on doing that stunt and taunting the 76ers' bench while they are not even in the lead just yet. It will only look good when you are in front and not when you are down by double digits. Claxton is already being dragged by those kinds of attitudes which he was not before. It must have hurt more with Ben Simmons as he can do nothing while just watching the game on the bench.

I love my results today.
My first bet for the Clippers was a loss because it's money line. After I saw the Kawhi Leonard news, I took the +8.5. It's just a split.
Warriors -5.5 covered and won.
76ers -5.5 did not cover as they won by 5 points only. I need 1 more. Another split.
This is what made me happy though.

Fun fact: Kevon Looney only made 4 points. It's the rebounds that made it cover his props. 20 freaking rebounds.
Congratulations to all the winners.

I was in the same impression that the Nets will own the game earlier because they rallied in the 3rd quarter and left the Sixers with just few points made in the same quarter. But when the 4th quarter began, the Nets ran out of luck because the Sixers recovered and chased the lead to take control of the game again just like what happened in the 1st half.

It looks like a sweep will happen in the 1st round and the Brooklyn Nets will be eliminated much earlier than expected because it's now 3-0.

Yes, and so their record at home stay intact, not just winning, but winning big at their homecourt and they never failed their backers are they easily cover the handicap and even if you bet on them to cover more on live beating it's already a big win.

And it's good to see the finally Wiggins game is back, this is just his 3rd game but it seems that he has found his rhythm already and yes, they seems not missing the services of Draymond tonight as every who play contributes.

Nice hit! The total was 45 (points 36 - rebounds 6 - assists 3).

It was a big win for the Warriors, even without Draymond Green. They played dominant basketball, especially Curry, who had a great shooting percentage. Everyone got involved, especially Wiggins, who was the second-best scorer.

Could you blame them, Embiid largest of the 4th quarter with 4-5 fouls and James Harden got eject just close to end of the 3rd quarter, 76ers winning the game itself is some sort miracle + huge shenanigans from Brooklyn Nets as they shot themselves in the leg.

I'm currently locked in on Golden State warriors vs Sacramento Kings, it's still as exciting as it was the first 2 games in Sacramento, Curry is currently making a good waves for warriors, but it's still all anyone's game, but the last situation warriors would want to put themselves in being 3-0 down in a series where they have the homecourt advantage if the series is go all the way to game 7.

My Bet is on Stephen Curry PRA Over 43.5

What a turn of events in the final three minutes of the game with the Nets failing mostly to secure a bucket and the inexperience sets in with that costly turnover in the dying seconds which could bring the game into overtime.

Lost my bet on this game as I thought that it would be another blowout but Embiid and Harden does not contribute their usual numbers and they didn't cover the spread of -5.5,

This could be a sweep for the Sixers i think because there's no offensive weapon for the Nets to match the output of Embiid down low.

I don't want to make conclusions just yet, it's a 3 point game, although the Nets look the favorite by all means now but 4 minutes is way too much for just anything to happen here, I'm sure you were already erring on the side of 3-0 lead for the 76ers at halftime right ? but here we are, they Nets can't afford to get cocky which is what just got Nic Claxton ejected for a second technical for taunting, and that's definitely the act that could cost them the game right there, no rim defender.

EDIT: I said it, the Nets freaking fumbled their advantage! There could not have been a better way to get back into the series for them, sigh!

It looks like the Nets have already won this game, and they'll be taking game 3. Even though it's still close, if the referees are favoring the Nets, it will be very hard for the 76ers to win this game. It's better to take the Nets ML now.

76ers getting all the wrong calls in Brooklyn tonight, I really don't know how to explain the James Harden flagrant penalty two on Royce O'neale in playoffs, I mean it's not by all means an avoidable move from Harden, but then as even commentators said it should have been a technical foul or at the most flagrant penalty one, but the referee interpretation to that play is very much beyond my understanding.

Still a close game, with Embiid in a foul trouble of himself, I'd be very surprised if the Nets doesn't get this win.

Ahh thank you. I was lost on what RA was and just assumed it was points. I kinda feel stupid now because If I had just thought about it for a few minutes, I probably would have figured it out.

The bet was for Assists + Rebounds, so if he has a bad shooting night, there's a likelihood that the bet will win as Westbrook might be busy with rebounding and sharing the ball. However, if he scores 25 points or more, he needs to have a perfect night to still get those rebounds and assists like when he was still a triple-double machine.

You better hope he doesn't have a night like Game 1 where he went 3-19.

I personally just placed a small bet at halftime on Phi -9.5. They're up 11 at halftime currently so i'm hoping they keep it up. I'm not a fan of either team but I had $30 on betnomi so I went looking for a fairly safe bet.

∆ N. Powell 15+ points @1.77 ∆   won


I was fortunate to get this line a few hours before the news about Kawhi came out. Powell's current point total is 21.5!  I'm not sure if Ty Lue will start him or Mann, but Powell will most likely play around 30 minutes. He had 14 in gm1 and 12 in gm2, and now all of those (20+ FG) will come vacant off Kawhi not playing, plus role players tend to perform better at home.


∆ R. Westbrook 15+ RA @1.93 ∆   won


Locked this just minutes after the news broke. As we speak, the line is at around 18 or even 19. No PG13, no Kawhi, this is Westbrook's team, and it smells like a triple-double, vintage Westbrook performance. Yeah, i think the Clippers stay competitive despite the fact that the spread has ballooned over the last couple of hours. I expect Westbrook's usage to be off the charts...

Here are my bets.

Los Angeles Clippers versus Phoenix Suns - Los Angeles Clippers ML @2.21
The series is 1-1. But the truth is the Suns may feel like they are behind because that one win by the Clippers was stolen from their home. I am expecting the Suns to play harder later but the home crowd Clippers might help out to boost their home team with confidence. If only one of them could step up his game, they may be able to win this game even without PG13. Defense will be a key factor.

Golden State Warriors versus Sacramento Kings - Golden State Warriors (-5.5) @1.86
Without Draymond Green will be different for the Warriors and the spreads are actually questionable. I can see Domantas Sabonis in player props so all that ruckus about him being hurt with that incident may be just drama if he ever plays the game later. Maybe they just did that to strengthen the case against Draymond and the suspension being cemented.

Brooklyn Nets versus Philadelphia 76ers - Philadelphia 76ers (-5.5) @2.01
Expecting Embiid to dominate the paint again. Or a load of assists from him whenever he is doubled. I am adding props for him.
Joel Embiid Over 4.5 Assists @2.89

Good luck everyone.

For winning both my game last time for the Memphis Grizzlies and Denver Nuggets game here are my late picks for games today,

Brooklyn Nets VS Philadelphia 76ers

The Brooklyn Nets are taking on the Philadelphia 76ers in game 3 tonight at Barclays Center Right now there are no injuries for the Nets while Jalen McDaniels (Illness) is Questionable I think the home advantage for the Nets will help them in winning this game so I have to go and bet for the Nets,

Los Angeles Clippers VS Phoenix Suns

The Los Angeles Clippers are taking on the Phoenix Suns in game 3 tonight at Crypto.com Arena The Clippers' key injuries are Kawhi Leonard (knee) out, and Paul George (knee) out, Phoenix Suns' key injuries are Cameron Payne (back) questionable, for this game I taking the court advantage

Thank Man, You are right I surely have taken the Memphis Grizzlies' side at a home-court advantage but I was really stubborn in doing so because I really don't trust the Grizzlies right now surely Xavier Tillman has saved the Grizzlies have fired up at that very moment is really unexpected and because he is not really consistent with his plays and this is the 1st time he has done this looking at his previous stats he has done 20 points last March 29, against the Magic game, and the rest was all cold,

But here are my late post for games today,

Brooklyn Nets VS Philadelphia 76ers

The stake odds for this game are 2.65 for the Nets and 1.51 for the 76ers, Right now Nets don't have any injuries while Jalen McDaniels, is  doubtful if he can play for the 76ers for this game 3 I will not surely go with the home-court advantage but instead, I will go with the leaders and predicting the 76ers sweeping the Nets this season,

Golden State Warriors VS Sacramento Kings

The stake odds for this game are 1.39 for the Warriors and 3.10 for the Kings, Right now Gary Payton II, Andrew Wiggins, and Jordan Poole are all doubtful if they can play for the Warriors and Draymond Green has a suspension for this game on stepping on Sabonis while Matthew Dellavedova can not play for the Kings, for this game because the Golden State Warriors got a high probability in making a win in a home court advantage my pick goes to the Warriors,

Los Angeles Clippers VS Phoenix Suns

The stake odds for this game are 3.60 for the Clippers and 1.31 for the Suns, Right now Kawhi Leonard and Paul George can not play for the Clippers while Cameron Payne is doubtful if he can play for the Suns so for this game 2 of the prominent players for the Clippers can not play so yeah this is not looking good and Russell WestBrick is the only one around, so this is not good for them and because of that I am taking the leaders the Phoenix Suns,

Wolves folded at the end otherwise would have been a sweep.  I'm wondering what the line will end up at for the next Lakers and Grizzlies game.  How does ja factor into that.  I can't see Lakers winning both at home so I'm probably just going money line with the Grizzlies for the next 2 games in LA.  Need to check out tonight's lines still.  Love playoff basketball time!

There are still some risks, of course, but that is somehow manageable because we still have more chance of winning especially if we already know the team and how they perform regardless of the opponent, and then we got some information like how they were in the regular season, weaknesses and strengths.

As said, I'll be with the favorites for the games later. Warriors got a good chance as they are now in the Chase Center and looking forward to bounce back after having a salty two straight losses at the King's homecourt. As well as the 76ers and Suns.

Same here, spread went through smoothly. That rally made in 3rd quarter gave me a mini heart attack because I thought that the Wolves can even the series but it seems that the Nuggets are still in control. I have a feeling that the Nuggets might sweep the Wolves because their two big man is not really working well, they got huge rebounds but that is not enough to cover their mistakes. Jokic as always playing good as their big man but the highlight in that game is Murray with 40 humungous points.

---

The Golden State Warriors are back home and they will host the game 3, this will be interesting because they are now playing where they are strong and hard to defeat. It will be an interesting game to see if the Kings can still penetrate through the Warriors defense. I'll be betting on this in live, for now, the Warriors are the favorite with -6 handicap.

Key Injuries:
GPII -      questionable (illnes)
Wiggins - questionable (shoulder)
Poole -     questionable (ankle)
Green -       out
Iguoudala - out

While for the Sacramento Kings, there are no listed probable/questionable/out. So it means that Sabonis will play despite being listed as probable the other day.
