Tonight's game is gonna be a good one.  Taking the sixers and the money line on this one.  I just don't think Celtics can contain embid.  Between him and Harden those 2 foul merchants make 4th quarters hard because usually everyone on the other team is in foul trouble.  Hoping embid is healthy and knowing him will want to have a good game after being named mvp.  Don't see how Celtics win unless they shoot the lights out.  Bad matchup for them in this series.

I guess? We never know because as of now, everything is still uncertain about what will really happen in the next game because the Lakers already proved that even if it is in the Warriors homecourt, they can still grab a win to their favor. But one thing is certain for me though, that this series will be a tight one as it feels like we're already watching the Finals, and maybe we get to see one of them win in Game 7.

They've got their hands full with Anthony Davis...   We'll see how they adjust for the next game.

Tonight we may see the return of Joel Embiid as the MVP has said he's on track to play tonight.  I don't think he'd say that if it weren't true, so I expect we'll see him in Boston facing off against the Celtics.  The question is if he's going to be able to make an impact.  I don't think he'd play otherwise but you never know.  I'm sure people will be giving them the edge with Embiid back and them winning without him.  I have a feeling tonight is going to go to the Celtics though.

Honestly, what could go wrong? It's like you've predicted the exact opposite here mate and I know bettors are quite confused what happened in the fourth quarter after the Warriors had a 14-0 run in almost 5 minutes, which got the fans hyped because they are tied again. But they kept on making mistakes, especially Jordan Poole for throwing the ball inside the Steph Curry range.

Anyway, it's quite impossible to think that the Warriors will again have 0-2 in the 2nd round. I know it's somehow possible but I believe the Warriors will not let that happen.

Whew, both games are damn entertaining.
2/3

It looks like Golden State Warriors will have a hard time winning this series. Anthony Davis is playing at the highest level of his career. I never saw him play like this even on the bubble, this is a way better performance than the past few years of his career.
23 rebounds! Who does that? Oh, there is one, Kevon Looney also got 23 rebounds. Two monster big men trying to dominate the paint.
I thought the Lakers will be rattled especially the young ones in their roster but they are filled with energy and accepted the challenge from the former champions.

Thankfully, my +7.5 for the Miami Heat was covered. New York Knicks played one hell of a game today. But I do love what I saw from the Miami Heat, their bench stepping up their game, and Vincent, Strus, and Martin are really trying their best to try and snatch one more win at MSG. I never expected them to win when I saw Randle playing, but they surely played a close game and gave the Knicks a hard time to get the W. They will just to keep it up until Butler returns.

I think it's wrong that almost everyone are riding the Warriors in game 1. Well I can't blame people as the spread was really attractive and we know the warriors are very dominant at home. Anyways, let's move on and focus in game 2, the spread now is -5, this is the game that the Warriors cannot lose, so personally I will not hesitate taking that spread now. The Lakers seemed too dominant, but you know the Warriors are good at making adjustments.

By the way, Looney is still consistent with his rebounding. He tallied 23 rebounds in that game, but what is missing is the contribution of the bench players. I don't understand why they aren't using Kuminga. Is he injured?

Yeah, same here, I bet with the Warriors with the same handicap -4.5 before the game and feeling confident that they are going to cover it, because they are at home and they have Chef Curry.

But yes, no one can stop Anthony Davis, this man is on a mission to bring his Lakers again maybe to the finals or at least win this series against the Warriors. The Warriors, being a championship team, can adjust in the second game.

Here are the result of my picks for games today,

New York Knicks VS Miami Heat SCORE 111 - 105 - WIN

And because there is no Jimmy Butler that is present to play the Miami Heat is in a struggle against the Knicks surely they are doing great in the 2nd quarter but the lack of Butler really have felt by the Heat and the fans aswell, Gabe Vincent and Caleb martin did their all to get the W but to no avail, the masterful class movement of Jimmy Butler is nowhere to be found, so the Knicks just have RJ Barrett got 24 points, Julius Randle has a double-double of 12 rebounds and 25 points, and Jalen Brunson got 30 points winning the game,

Golden State Warriors VS Los Angeles Lakers SCORE 112 - 117 - LOST

This is bad for the Warriors they are at home court advantage and the Lakers have already taken 1 win against the Golden State Warriors powerful place they can be, I really thought that the Warriors are doing fine at the start of the game they are on the lead but the Lakers already snatch it from them this is the reality for the Warriors they have taken for granted and think that they can manage to win or they underestimated the Lakers well they are in a good mood for a great win over the Sacramento Kings can because of that they become more complacent that they win this match, Dennis Schroder and D'Angelo Russell both got 19 points, Lebron James has a double-double of 11 rebounds and 22 points and Anthony Davis has a double-double of 23 rebounds and 30 points winning the game,

Those of us who took the Warriors tonight are severely disappointed. Warriors tied it up late at 112-112 but the Lakers were jsut too much. AD led the way with 30 points and 23 rebounds, dominated the boards. Hopefully the warriors rebound for game 2.

I’m sitting out game 1 betting on the Warriors and Lakers. With the Lakers having more rest you never know if they’re going to come out rusty or rested. I’d also like to see how Golden State matches up with Anthony Davis. I think whether or not Davis is able to bully the entire Warriors squad will determine who wins this series.

I got the same bet, my only worry is their ATS aren't that great as they had that one close win against the King and a home loss.

The good thing going for us is that the Lakers aren't that much of a threat on the road though based on their performance against the Grizzlies last time as they've been losing by at least double digits so I think the Warriors can cover comfortably here.

Both Brunson and Randle are playing and they are down by 3 points now but too early as the first half is just finished.

coming to the 2nd half now and I'm seeing the same usual game play from the Heat, even without Butler they are playing that same rotations, it will be on the shoulders of Lowry and Bam to fire up their offense and with the help of everyone as always.



I like this one. I believe that GSW can cover this handicap since they are playing at home.

Looking forward to see the same tempo they have during the game 7 against the Kings, with that kind of aggressiveness
they can take this game 1 and beat the Lakers at home.

I already bet on the Warriors at -4.5 as well, I like their chances in game 1 specially at their home court. They lost a game here against the Kings, but I doubt that they can go 2 home game lost specially in the playoff. Curry has taken over and he is putting performances like he was trying to proved his doubters wrong. Lakers has the advantage of having a rest, but they could have ring rust, while the Warriors have the momentum right now. Lot's of game match up, inside with Looney and Draymond against a healthy Anthony Davis.

I'm skipping the Knicks vs Heat game, I'll just have to watch this one, (or maybe if I have the itch to bet live game, I will do it).
But the initial odds of -/+10.5 could be a trap, (Randle playing or Butler missing the game??/)

Jimmy Buckets out.

This is a big loss for the Miami Heat. But I already made my bet for them with +6.5 on the handicap. There's no turning back now and all I have to do is trust his teammates to step up their game.
There is no news yet about Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson and according to recent updates it will be "game-time decision". That kind of news sucks when it comes to betting.   I can now see Jalen Brunson in player props so those who took the Knicks bet should now be optimistic that one of their stars will play. Also adding the Over 204.5 bet @1.76

I am betting for the Golden State Warriors too but with -4.5 only on the handicap. I like their chances to win the game playing at Chase Center. Their fans will surely be nonstop supporting them and giving them energy with their cheers. Plus, I'd like to see them bring the momentum after that win against the Sacramento Kings.
Wiggins versus Lebron probably, AD versus Looney, Steph versus Reaves or Schroder. This will absolutely be a fun game.
Good luck everyone and enjoy the games.

I'm really pumped for both games tonight.  I'm excited to see the Knicks doing as well as they are, which normally I'm not a very big fan of their and I'm excited to see playoff Jimmy Buckets going up against him and doing his playoff thing more than likely. I mean when it comes to guys in the playoffs...Jimmy Butlers an all time great.

Edit: nvm Butler is out game 2 booo

The second game of course is where I'm really excited to see.  Lebron versus Curry, which could be a final showdown, or at least the best showdown we may ever see of those two again..Can't wait!

I think I'm only betting the second game, and I think I'm putting my money on LA..though I'm not sure that's wise.

Clearly, I Lost the Boston Celtics pick yesterday but won the Denver Nuggets one, now this is my bet for today's game

New York Knicks vs Miami Heat

The New York Knicks will face the Miami Heat in game 2 at Madison Square Garden, right now New York Knicks' key injuries: Julius Randle (ankle) is questionable if he's able to play Jalen Brunson (ankle) is questionable if he's able to play, and the Miami Heat Key injury: Tyler Herro (hand) is out and can not play, Victor Oladipo (knee) is out from season, Haywood Highsmith (knee) is questionable and Jimmy Butler (ankle) is questionable if they can play for the Heat, for this match I got a bad feeling about the Heat and Jimmy Butler is not questionable right now so my pick is the New York Knicks,

Golden State Warriors vs Los Angeles Lakers

The Golden State Warriors are facing the Los Angeles Lakers in game 1 at Chase Center, right now key injuries: Andre Iguodala (wrist) is out and can not play, and Patrick Baldwin Jr. (toe) is questionable if he's able to play, now the Los Angeles Lakers key injuries: Mo Bamba, (ankle), Anthony Davis (foot) and Lebron James (foot) all are questionable if they can play for the Lakers, for that I think that Lakers will not be in their 100% best form against the Warriors and the Golden State Warriors is playing at Chase Center because of that this is going to be an unbeatable Warriors,

Yes, James Harden becomes his prime version back in the days, it was incredible actually hitting 45 points for this game was insane, just like Curry in game 7 but this is only game 1 of James Harden's ability to Full Throttle with the help of De'Anthony Melton, Tobias Harris, and Tyrese Maxey spreading the points to most teams, likely dominating the game in the 2nd half,

Now my picks for today's game

New York Knicks VS Miami Heat

The Stake Odds for this game are 1.40 for the Knicks and 3.10 for the Heat, Right now Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson are both doubtful if they can play, but I think in the play-offs they can surely play for this game, while Tyler Herro can not play because of hand injury and both Haywood Highsmith and Jimmy Butler are both doubtful if they can play for this game, right now I think both teams got crucial doubtful injuries, but for me, Knicks can just sway this and win the game, so my pick is the New York Knicks,



Golden State Warriors VS Los Angeles Lakers

The Stake odds for this game are 1.52 for the Warriors and 2.60 for the Lakers, Right now Andre Iguodala can not play (Hopefully he retires next season to give space for a new player) Patrick Baldwin Jr. is doubtful if he's going to play for the Warriors, while Mo Bamba, Anthony Davis, and LeBron James are doubtful if they can play for the Lakers, for this game 1 I think the Warriors will go strong now that they had home court advantage, so for me they will make progression in game 1 win, so my pick is the Golden State Warriors,

I want to take a risk for Miami Heat.
Maybe I will win.

My pick for tonight.

New York Knicks vs Miami Heat = Miami Heat Win 3,98 Odds. (25$)

And Jimmy Butler said he wanted to play tonight.

Good luck guys.

Game 2 for the Knicks game and probably the long awaited Lakers and golden state series.

Taking the Knicks-6.5. Thinking playoff Jimmy's ankle is gonna afford the Knicks a rebound game here.  Gonna be tough for Miami in msg with a not 100% Jimmy.

And gimme the golden state Warriors at home here.  Think this is gonna be a long series with home teams mainly winning.steph goes big tonight.

Enjoy the games!

I like both the home teams tonight. Miami is missing Oladipo, Herro, and possibly Butler. We won't know til close to tip off if Butler is playing on his ankle. AD and Lebron are both game time decisions as well with foot injuries in the Laker/Warriors series. I expect both will play but I think the Warriors make a statement tonight. I actually gave a few extra points in my bet on warriors.
