Philadelphia 76ers vs Brooklyn Nets +11.5
The Brooklyn Nets will take on the Philadelphia 76ers in their Game 2 tonight at Wells Fargo Center. 3 out of 5 meetings of these two teams, the game was decided within 9 points. +11.5 is a safe bet for Brooklyn Nets unless the 76ers makes 20 or more 3 pointers.
Net key injuries: Ben Simmons (back) out

Sacramento Kings vs Golden State Warriors
The Golden State Warriors will take on the Sacramento Kings in their Game 2 tonight at Golden 1 Center.
Warriors key injuries: Andre Iguodala (wrist) out, Jordan Poole (ankle) questionable, Ryan Rollins (foot) out
Kings key injuries: Matthew Dellavedova (finger) out

I like these props. I will be copying it.  

I am also going to take the Over 210.5 76ers vs Nets.
Philadelphia 76ers - Brooklyn Nets - Philadelphia 76ers (-10.5) - I believe this series is either going for a sweep in the 76ers' favor or it will end at Game 5 with the Nets just winning one at their home. (without injuries) Joel Embiid is just too much to handle. Claxton tried but he badly need some help from his team mates and while doing a double team they must be fast at recovery when the ball rotates.

Sacramento Kings - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors (-3.5) The defending champion are still the favorites despite what the Sacramento Kings showed in Game 1 on their home. Not a strong win but it is still a win with Fox having may one of the best nights of his career.
The Warriors, on the other hand, will try forcing it this time to steal a win at Sacramento and it will help boost them up when they come back to San Francisco.

I would love to see Wiggins doing some greater damage. Over 23.5 PRA for Wigs @2.22.

WOW! The play-offs game is really incredible the team once you think will lose will surely gain an immense desire to win they will win against a big-shot team that was a great match even though I lost the two games I really enjoyed watching it because you will never know the outcome, but this is the 1st game only so there is no biggie for sure the other team will eventually get past this and make an extreme come back but lets see,

Milwaukee Bucks VS Miami Heat SCORE 117 - 130 - LOST

Phoenix Suns VS Los Angeles Clippers SCORE 110 - 115 - LOST

Denver Nuggets VS Minnesota Timberwolves SCORE 109 - 80 - WIN

Now my pick for upcoming games today, and it is game 2 for these teams,

Philadelphia 76ers VS Brooklyn Nets

The stake odds for this game are 1.19 for the 76ers and 4.90 for the Nets, Right now both teams don't have any injuries, now I really don't expect the Nets to win this actually I think they will taste being swept again last season by the Boston Celtics and this time by the 76ers, I may be wrong but maybe the Nets will win 1 but I really doubt it,

Sacramento Kings VS Golden State Warriors

The stake odds for this game are 2.16 for the Kings and 1.73 for the Warriors, right now Matthew Dellavedova can not play for this game against the Warriors, while Andre Iguodala can not play for the Warriors, Ty Jerome, and Jordan Poole are doubtful if they can play well even though Poole can not play in this game I really think they can still win here because they got a full Main team right now,

∆ P.J. Tucker 1+ 3pt / P.J. Tucker 1+ steal / J. Harden 8+ assists / T. Harris 10+ points @4.10 ∆   X

The Nets decided to double-team Embiid for the majority of gm1 which resulted in numerous open looks for Harris and Tucker on the perimeter. In most games, PJ doesn't even get a single shot off, but hey, if they leave him open like that, he'll take it (and make it). PJ also had 5 steals, and with Nets turnovers all over the place, i'm confident he'll get at least one in gm2. Harris did not only benefit from the Embiid double-teams, but the Nets had Dinwiddie (their worst defender) on him on multiple occasions, creating a mismatch that Harris exploited. I'm hoping Harden can get to 8 assists, he's hit it 8/L10, Nets very average on defense.

My pick for tonight.

Philadelphia 76ers (-3.5) vs Brooklyn Nets = First Quarter Win 1,86 Odds.

Sacramento Kings vs Golden State Warriors (-2.5) = Golden State Warriors  Win 1,86 Odds.

My last bet lost but, I hope my picks for tonight will win.
Good luck guys.

Honestly when you do not have Giannis for too long, and even when you have him he is hurt? That is a bit of normal not to really have him play like he normally would and the Bucks lost as expected because of that. When you plan the strategy around someone and he goes out, it's different from knowing he will not play.

When they didn't had Giannis, they knew they didn't have him and played accordingly, when they had him and he played hurt for a while and left? That's not something they were ready for. Herro is out for sure, Giannis may come back, it looked like he would not be injured for a long time but we all know Herro is out for  good, that's a damn shame but it is what it is. I hope that they both get a very healthy return eventually.

Yes, it's funny too that Dillon Brooks became silent after what happened to Ja Morant because before that happened, he was really energetic and tried to mess the opposite team even if his presence in that game isn't having any bad effect towards the Lakers. But even before Ja Morant fell badly, the Lakers are still in control and didn't gave the home team an easy way where the gap will balloon in their favor.

I believed so too that the bettors favored the Lakers in that game but when it comes to the Heat vs Bucks match-up, many parlays got wasted plus there's the Clippers who upset the Suns on their 1st game. I think nobody saw that coming

---

We only have 2 games tomorrow right? I might sit on the Warriors vs Kings because I'm not really sure whom to bet because there's a chance that the defending champs will bounce back even if it's still a road game for them.

For now, Brooklyn Nets vs Philadelphia 76ers -9.5 : Both teams are healthy and none were reported questionable/probable/injured.

Russell Westbrook despite having a poor shooting last night with only 9 points (15.8% FG), he made himself useful in defense and tracked down Kevin Durant and Booker which made their night not that productive contrary to the expectation that Booker and Durant will lead the team's offense and bring the team a first win. Westbrook could've been in a tough situation again but he's just lucky because he managed to stop Booker in that lay-up and shoot the much needed 2 points in free throw.

About Paul George, he's been reported that he will likely miss the whole 1st round series against the Suns. The Clippers need him because Westbrook is still not that reliable in helping Kawhi, his presence will be a big help, but luck is not on their side this time.

If I'm not mistaken, there are 3x that he did try to attempt to score over the outstretch arms of Davis, the first one is clear hang up, but it was a missed, the 2nd one he managed to score, but the 3rd one, yeah, one he goes down in a awkward position and possible that he got hurt his risk.

And then Hilbilly Kobe takes over the game from Rui and Lebron James as he scored the last 11 or 14 points for the Lakers.

Lebron is all praises to Reaves after the game. Love the competition between this two games. Memphis still a slight favorite in game 2.

This is the price that Ja pay for dunking in the face of 6’10 footer. He should stop doing that no matter how high he can jump since his body is very weak to absorb the fall impact. I stop watching the game after the dunk because I already knew that Lakers is already in control of the game. What an upset but I’m sure that many bet on Lakers in this match.

There’s a lot of upset game on this game too. I think many parlay got broken with the Bucks and Suns loss today because they are the team that seems have a high chance of winning base on stats and roster.  

They cannot find their offense without Giannis sucking all the defenders like a black hole. Not just Holiday, I am expecting more from Khris Middleton although he made 33 points. Maybe he can step it up one more notch for them to win the game.
Anyway, I think Giannis' injury is not that bad for he still walked normally after the fall. I wish he can play in the next game before they hit the road.

The Suns had a bad shooting start and it affected the result of the game. The defense was there and Booker was doing hustle D's. Checking the stats I didn't realize they made 9 blocks against 4 of the Clippers and 8 steals while 6 for the Clippers. The Phoenix Suns did fine but they must start hot on the offensive end especially KD and Booker. They will probably adjust next game and see to it that the defense will remain but their offense will be better.

1/3 for me.
I only won the Nuggets spread today.

Losing is part of gambling as well as injuries are part of sports. It is the Clippers vs Suns that got me really riled up since the Suns are heavily favored to win this game since PG cannot play for the Clippers. But the Clippers proved they can win against the Suns even without PG and they can control Kevin Durant.


The real hero of the game is both Reaves and Hachimura. They performed like they are the stars of the team. Though Davis and Lebron have good performance, the breakout of Reaves in the fourth quarter put a big lead against the Grizzlies that sealed the game for the Lakers.

I think majority of us lay down on the Bucks winning against the Heat on game 1, in the regular season, even without Giannis, they found a way to win. But this is playoff series so it's going to be very different, I expect more from Holiday though, but he was really guarded very well in this game.

And the Clippers on cloud 9 after winning game 1 and Westbrook taking the highlight with his good defense on Booker.

So for sure many bettors (including myself), lost on this 2 games.

Clippers owner Steve Ballmer is very happy watching his Clippers team winning against the Suns on the road.

As for Westbrook, if only he didn't did that 2 clutch free throws, and that defensive stop, he must be on the hot seat right now because of how bad he shot on that game. Kawhi played really well, and it's expected coming from him, but if the Clippers needed to win the series, and upset the team who has projected to be the top title contenders, they need Westbrook to step up at least in the offense, and at the same time, they need role players to step up as well. I mean they played well, but if they want to be a title contender, it need to be better.

As for the Heat-Bucks, it's an upset, and I thought that the Bucks will sweep them because of how good they are, but that game just shows that not having Giannis have a huge impact for the team. I just hope that he will be back on their next game because they badly needed him.

I put my bets on the Bucks, and the Suns because I thought that they will make a come back after trailing by double-digits, but it didn't happen, and I lost both of my bets. Well, at least I'm happy watching playoff games right now, and so are the others here.

^^ Right, Lakers beat the Memphis. I thought that Davis might not come back in this game because of his shoulder. But he did, and on the other it was Morant who got injured himself when he try to go hard on the rim and Davis met him on top. And after that, it was all Lakers, Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura came in clutch and then Lebron shooting outside with 3's. It was a good win for the Lakers and it's too bad that I lost my bet on Memphis.

I wasn't able to watch the other games, but I see the Westbrook put that defensive gem against Booker to give the Clippers their first win in their playoff against the Phoenix Suns. The Heat too upset the top seed Bucks in their own series as Giannis wasn't able to play with a back contusion. The good news is that his X-ray comes back clean. So most likely he will be back in game 2.

It seems that most of us here didn't had a good day betting and most of the parlays that we thought are somehow sure didn't go through and was destroyed because of the unexpected twists and injuries that became a reason why the home team have been defeated.

Out of the 4 games that we had, only the Denver Nuggets who have successfully defended their home and buried the Wolves alive with a huge gap of 29 points.

In the Lakers vs Grizzlies, people suspected that Anthony Davis bought an early vacation ticket after he can't moved his arm which made him go to the locker room but fortunately, he came back even stronger and then an unfortunate thing happened again in the 4th quarter where Ja Morant had a bad fall against AD and hurt his right hand which was already injured.

It's a night of the underdogs, not just Grizzlies were the favorites to lose their game 1, Milwaukee Bucks lost to the Miami Heat by 13 points, although Bucks kept it really close to an extent despite losing their best player very early into game.

Los Angeles Clippers also defeated Phoenix Suns too, that's about the biggest upset for the night and Russell westbrook was having an extremely awful with scoring, although he was very vital for the Clippers down the stretch to get win with several pick out passes and offensive board, coupled with few steals and block, those really count for something significant too, but we all saw a vintage playoffs Kawhi Leonard today, he did drop a monster performance, this series should really interesting until the very end.


I'll be passing on Timberwolves vs Denver Nuggets game, I've actually seen enough playoff games for today, so I'll just go again tomorrow.

Unlucky on that mate. First, Ja doesn't have much impact in game. Then, Giannis gets injured and leaves the game and for the 3rd game, Kawahi just wreaks havoc and keeps KD in check. Nuggets game ongoing but anyways, the parlay is dead. Gl next set of games.

Caught the Miami game with points wish I took the ML but is what it is.  Suns right now down 3 and staring down a game 1 loss.  My saving grace will need to be the Timberwolves.  I'm feeling another upset and really thinking about taking the money line on that game.   I haven't looked but the umders seemed to be have hitting more as well.  Anyone have stats on on the over/under so far?

4 games today but I only have 3 bets on the line. I forgot to put my early bets so I missed the Grizzlies game against the Lakers. Anyway, the Lakers won that game. Another upset.

Milwaukee Bucks - Miami Heat - Milwaukee Bucks (-4.5) I caught this just right now while the Miami Heat is in the lead at the end of 1st quarter.
Phoenix Suns - Los Angeles Clippers - Phoenix Suns (-5.5)
Denver Nuggets - Minnesota Timberwolves - Denver Nuggets (-6.5)

Let's see if there will be another upset that will happen. I hope not because I am looking forward to having a perfect winning night.
Good luck to all of us.
