That's a significant amount of money. If you choose to bet on the moneyline, you could win even more in that particular game. I believe that the Bulls are on a mission to make it to the playoffs. Their ability to come back from a large deficit, which the Heat were unable to do against the Hawks, is evidence of their determination. Therefore, I think we should go with the Bulls here as they are more likely to secure a spot in the playoffs.

Of course, I see how OKC did in that game, and I'm not surprised because the same roster was already killing it in the regular season, even though they are not really in a safe standing. They are young, but they are up for a big challenge, and that is to prove to NBA fans that they should not be underestimated.

So going to Minnesota, I guess the same story would happen. As long as they play together, there's a decent chance that they'll advance.

I have the Bulls and OKC in the final game of the play-in tournament.

It's obvious that the pressure is high as this is the play-in already. It's either they have to play focus or choke, and the latter happen to the Raptors. So we should give credit to the Bulls for pulling one of the upsets in this play-in.

Same with the Thunder, they are a young team, but SGA took the pressure in his shoulder, even making 2 free throws down the stretch.

So never underestimate them when betting.

I didn't know that it was her daughter, but they flashed that young lady on the screen. That's the breaks of the game, though. The Raptors aren't that bad in the regular season at the free-throw line, but because of the pressure of the game, they might panic and become afraid of losing. Imagine, they were in control of the game, and then suddenly the Bulls surged back. The pressure must have been high.

Lavine played an amazing match and he brought the bulls back from that huge lead that the Raptors had. But the reason why the Raptors were knocked out is because of those 16 missed free throws. They had 51% free throw rate and that is just terrible. The funny thing is that Demar Derozans daugther screamed everytime they had free throws and it was anoying and it worked in the end so that they had missed so many free throws.

What's your prediction bro? I am still having a hard time figuring out who will win this matchup. The Miami Heat had not been living up to my expectation and I lost my bet against the Hawks last time. The Chicago Bulls on the other hand start so slow, they need to heat up before we could see how good of a team they are.
We had the same thought in the 3rd quarter. I was ready to give up my bet and just recover it on the next game but surprise, surprise, Zach LaVine fired it up and didn't give up easily.
About the consistency of Zach, I think DeMar is talking to him the whole time and I am assuming one of those discussions is for Zach to step up his game. "Take the ball, do your usual thing." Something like that.
In their next game against the Heat, I want to see DeMar this time doing his usual thing. The scary perimeter shots because most of them missed when they needed it against the Raptors. Good defenders like Butler will try to stop him but it's also a chance to prove how sinister those perimeter shots are.

Put about $100 worth of bitcoin on the Bulls last night at +5.5 .  I thought I was doomed in the third quarter.  I am pleasantly standing corrected about Zach and Demar last night.  Lavine was absolutely incredible.  It's so frustrating when a guy of his talent level and skill COULD be a mega-star, I mean he's got the skills to be that, and he was that last night..but he just can't seem to do it consistently.  Frustrating.

Looking forward to betting this Bulls game tomorrow vs Miami.

Shai will have to have another game like he did against the Pelicans.  Timberwolves will be no.pushover.  I don't know which way I'm leaning but I think the wolves should be able to win.  They had their worst 4th quarter of the entire season last game, edwards probably his worst game and KAT in foul trouble.  I can't see that happening again.  And they are at home.

You mean Pelicans? Because the Bulls faced the Raptors and won their separate match in the Eastern Conference. Most probably you just woke up when you wrote this quote

Anyway, the Thunders will be facing the Wolves tomorrow at the latter's homecourt and the winner will face the Denver Nuggets in the first round. Personally, I think I will favor the young Thunders against the Wolves who are in a middle of something right now and it's good for us bettors because the Thunders are listed as the underdogs with a present spread of +5.5

For the Miami Heat vs Chicago Bulls match-up, current spread is -/+5.5 where the Heat is listed as the favorite.

Yes, what more against the Bulls because if they lost against he Hawks then it's somehow safe to say that they will get their butts beaten against the raging Bulls.

Plus, I think the Heat this season is not that reliable that is why they are seated on the 8th seed and probably will not be consistent in a series game anymore unlike in the past years where they consecutively participate the playoffs without playing in the play-in. Jimmy Butler is not the same Jimmy anymore because even him as the star player is already vulnerable enough.

I'd choose the Bulls over the Heat here, the roster got more reliable cores unlike Heat but their problem is that the Bulls are somehow injury prone and if it weren't for DeRozan, the team couldn't stay afloat amid Vucevic and LaVine's absence due to injuries. Furthermore, the Bulls got a lot of defenders compared to the Heat. Anyway, a lot can happen because the Heat are more experienced. I'll take that spread as well.

Not sure if it will good to trade Jimmy though, he is still the heart of the team, for me it should be Lowry or even Bam that they should be looking to trade. I do agree that +5.5 might be a good pre game bet.

They have done it before, they are in the road against the Raptors and they won after making that huge comeback.

The Bulls just have to believed in themselves again that they can get the job done.

Clint Capela has a nasty play on the rebound and that was a very great play in just focusing on rebounding a very dedicated player for that, 21 rebounds is an all-time high for his rebound per game this season but surely there is no one that could break the record of the legendary Wilt Chamberlain 55 rebounds per game, along with Bill Russell that has 51 rebounds, but for sure Clint Capela is not thinking about the record but to just win that crucial game against the Miami Heat,

Here are the result for my picks on today's game

Toronto Raptors VS Chicago Bulls SCORE 105 - 109 - WIN

Toronto Raptors is having a great time at the start of the game they are leading the 1st half than in the 4th quarter the Chicago Bulls have gotten their momentum DeMar DeRozan and Zach LeVine have seen an opening in the last minute taken the Raptors by surprise, Nikola Vucevic has a double-double of 13 rebounds and 14 points, DeMar DeRozan got 23 points and Zach LeVine got a remarkable 39 points,

New Orleans Pelicans VS Oklahoma City Thunders SCORE 118 - 123 - LOST

From start to finish the New Orlean Pelicans don't really stand a chance it is like the Oklahoma City Thunder have got a new grove, they are like a different team when they 1st have a solid match against the Pelicans, but it is just clear that the Thunders was so much hungry when it comes to winning right now, Luguentz Dort got 27 points, Josh Giddey has a double-double of 10 assists and 31 points while Shai Gilgeous-Alexander got 32 points,

They need to rebuild, probably trade away stars like Jimmy because he hasn't been as good as he was before this season in terms of impact to the team. Bulls +5.5 should be a good value since they are coming off a huge win. However, the main concern here is, can they bring the same energy they showed in Toronto?

It did take a lot from the Bulls to win at the road, very hostile environment but they seems to be focus that night. Miami is playing again in their homecourt and if they lost this one, obviously it's time for them to rebuild. They haven't got close to the success when they went to finals in the bubble against the Lakers.

But if we look at the numbers, if I'm not mistaken, the Bulls has swept the Heat.

So that alone is a big factor in this game. So I will go with the Bulls +5.5 this early.

Of course, we see their struggles. What do you think is the reason why they are in their current situation now? Well, per record, the Heat are the better team and, at the same time, they also have the advantage as they are playing at home. But we know the Bulls are also very desperate to be in the playoffs, even though they will likely make an early exit against the Bucks in case they are lucky enough to make it to the playoffs.

I hope they won't be too tired because they need to travel after the game, and the Heat are just fresh at home, practicing how to beat the Bulls.

If we trust the Bulls here, might as well another moneyline bet.

Miami had problems too; remember their loss to the Atlanta Hawks, where they got outrebounded big time? I think the Bulls have a chance to beat the Heat too. I mean, they may have some issues, but this is a very important game. Beating the Raptors was already enough to prove that they can work their asses off together and be in the playoffs.

I think Miami is just overrated because they are a team that is consistent in the playoffs. So, we haven't seen their struggles this season.

They truly are underrated and now they won again while the Pelicans are the heavy favorites. I lost my bet there. My only one lost for today.
3/4. Caught the Over 231.5 Pelicans vs OKC Thunder during the 1st quarter when I saw the lack in defense.

Nice props there, congrats bro.

There are so many errors that the Bulls need fixing. It's actually PatBev that made the difference in their 4th quarter run with his defensive energy. Every Bulls player was dragged by his will to make a stop. Full court press, causing chaos, and timely ball snatch. 1 steal and 1 block only but his highlight is giving Fred Van Vleet a difficult time scoring again.
But against the Miami Heat, I am in doubt.

At least you woke up with great news. The 4th quarter is the most important quarter of the game, especially if the game is close or the team is trailing. What the Bulls did showed their experience in the playoffs, and with good chemistry among their superstars, there's no dominant player on the team. They work together to win, but their top scorer was Zach Lavine, who is a pure superstar in the NBA.

They succeeded in the first step, so they should finish the Heat to achieve their goal.

I had OKC to win the game and qualify and they have huge young talents to win the game but I went to sleep on 3rd quarter on Bulls game thinking that they have no chance to comeback and when I woke up today and I saw that they indeed made a comeback ...I was shocked and happy on the same time and I had to search for highlights of 4th quarter because that is where the magic happened.
