My picks for tonight.

Los Angeles Lakers  vs Minnesota Timberwolves (+4.5) = First Quarter Win 1,65 Odds.

Los Angeles Lakers vs Minnesota Timberwolves (+8.5) = Minnesota Timberwolves Win 1,88 Odds.

I don't think Los Angeles Lakers can score that many points. That's how I made my bets.

Good luck guys.

Yeah, I got on that information a bit later, I don't have anything on the ML for the match and I think I'll just pass on that totally, I know Lebron, Anthony Davis and D'Angello Russell are all listed as probable, but I'm sure each one of them would suit up tonight, maybe not Russell though, but LeBron would play with even if he had an arm amputated today, because there is no ways he'd want to have on another year without making the post season.

I've got a couple of betbuilder added to the UCL played earlier so, all I'm going to have now is just on the Miami Heat.

∆ D. Murray 1+ steals / S. Bey 12+ PRA @1.75 ∆   X

Hawks enter this game leading the league in steals /L3. Murray has picked up at least one steal in six straight games, including four in back-to-back games against Miami last month. I anticipate him guarding either Vincent or Herro on the perimeter and leaving Butler to Collins and Bey (bigger bodies), as the Hawks did the last time they played.

Saddiq Bey has put up consistent numbers while filling in for the injured D. Hunter over the last month or so. He should come off the bench today, but i fully expect him to see at least 25 minutes, possibly more if Collins/Hunter have an off-shooting night...or one of them is in foul trouble. Bey has covered the 12+ PRA mark in eleven straight games.

Rudy Gobert will not be available as he was suspended by the Timberwolves' management for punching his teammate Kyle Anderson during a heated altercation in the bench while Jaden McDaniels will be out also because of a broken hand after punching a wall  . But still it is very to bet against the Wolves with a healthy KAT and Edwards towing them so I'm going to bet for the Wolves +9.5 @1.82.

I would say I like the Miami Heat -5 here, but I really don't know If I'd fancy the Los Angeles Lakers -8 against an healthy Timberwolves, that's a bit of a stretch imo, I might have a slight amount on the Timberwolves ML, if the odds is significant enough, but then I'll have to wait to see who or who isn't available for the Timberwolves, If I can get KAT, Anthony Edwards and Rudy Gobert all available, I'll likely go with the Timberwolves.

Here is the bracket for the upcoming play-offs but we 1st have the play-in tournament, Tomorrow Miami Heat VS Atlanta Hawks and Los Angeles Lakers VS Minnesota Timberwolves, while the Milwaukee Bucks are safe in the Eastern Conference finals waiting for the 8 seed in the East, and the Denver Nuggets on the Western Conference finals and waiting for the 8 seed as well in the West, pretty much I am sure excited about this while the Golden State Warriors is in the play-off position ready for the Sacramento Kings now they will have a match against the Kings on April 16, and I think Andrew Wiggins is good to play for that game, and because the team really need him badly,

---

Now here are my picks on the upcoming play-in tournament game tomorrow,

Miami Heat VS Atlanta Hawks

The stake odds for this game are 1.51 for the Heat and 2.65 for the Hawks, Right now Nikola Jovic, can not play for the Heat, and Max Strus and Kyle Lowry are doubtful they can play for the Heat, while doesn't have injuries, for this game I really like the Miami Heat to win here and because of their injuries it is likely hard to me to pick and we all know both these teams will surely do everything they can to win this game, so this is going to be a close game, but because the Atlanta Hawks is at their 100% going for this game my pick is the Atlanta Hawks,

Los Angeles Lakers VS Minnesota Timberwolves

The stake odds for this game are 1.30 for the Lakers and 3.70 for the Timberwolves, right now Shaquille Harrison, Tristan Thompson, D'Angelo Russell, Anthony Davis, and LeBron James, are all doubtful if they can play but I think they will surely play in this crucial game, while Jaden McDaniels and Naz Reid is not going to play for this game and Jaylen Nowell, and Karl-Anthony Towns are both doubtful if they can play this game, but just like the doubtful for the Lakers I think those two will surely play for this crucial game, but for me, I have faith for the Lakers that they will make this a win so my pick is the Los Angeles Lakers,

^^Nice bet guys and I do think most of us will have the same bets here for tonight.

Los Angeles Lakers - Minnesota Timberwolves - Los Angeles Lakers (-8.5) I like the Lakers bet too and I do believe they can manage to cover the spread. Without Gobert around, Anthony Davis should dominate the paint without a problem. He can take KAT but the Lakers need to put in a good defender against Edwards.

Miami Heat - Atlanta Hawks - Miami Heat (-4.5) Max Strus is probable to play while Kyle Lowry is in questionable status. But upon checking the player props, I did see Kyle Lowry and Strus so it's a high chance they will be playing. The Atlanta Hawks on the other hand have a healthy roster.
I still like the chances of the Heat winning this game, I just hope the spreads will be covered.

Good luck to everyone and enjoy the play-in tournament. 

I have the Miami Heat winning at home, but I will probably wait for the right timing. Maybe if the Hawks are up early, then the -5 spread will probably be lowered. I'm okay with -3, though, because if the Heat win the game, it's sure easy to cover. The Hawks are not a team to underestimate, as we know how Trae Young played in the playoffs or play-in.

About the Lakers vs Wolves, it should be the Lakers winning and covering the spread.

There are games tomorrow:

Atlanta Hawks vs Miami Heat -5
Timberwolves vs LA Lakers -8

Share your thoughts here. I think the Hawks vs Heat game is quite difficult to predict compared to the Lakers vs Timberwolves game. Let's discuss these games.

Nothing to bet on tonight but I'll be laying down some bets on the NBA tomorrow.  I really like the Miami Heat covering the spread of 5.5 versus the Hawks and I like the LA Lakers covering the 7.5 spread versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Lakers have been scorching hot this second half, and with Lebron and AD back and healthy, I feel like they're very hungry and nothing is stopping them from making some noise in this play-in game.

The Clippers will probably have a rough time here. Westbrook and Kevin Durant meeting in the playoffs again, we might see them again nose to nose. 
It will all depend on how their roleplayers will play well. Zubac against Ayton, Kawhi will probably play Durant or it could be Batum. Without Paul George they will need to step up their game one more notch or else they will be swept by the Phoenix Suns.

Cavs versus Knicks. All Cavs for me here.
76ers versus Nets. Embiid is so strong this year, he will probably not let the Nets have 1 win too.

Here are the result of my picks for today's game, and it was 3 out of 5

Chicago Bulls VS Detroit Pistons SCORE 103 - 81 - WIN

It was a close game between these two teams 1st the Chicago Bulls have a close game against the Detroit Pistons until the 4th quarter of the game where eventually the Bulls have to overtake the lead most of the Chicago Bulls doubtful have played that day, and Carlik Jones got 11 points, DeMar DeRozan got 16 points and Zach LeVine got 17 points winning the game,

Miami Heat VS Orlando Magic SCORE 123 - 110 - WIN

At the beginning of the game, the Orlando Magic got a decent push with their play but eventually, the Miami Heat launched a great spread, Victor Oladipo got 19 points, Duncan Robinson got 20 points and Udonis Haslem got 24 points winning against the Magic,

Cleveland Cavaliers VS Charlotte Hornets SCORE 95 - 106 - LOST

I really thought that the Cavaliers will make a great win because they got so many injuries and they did not risk most of those injuries in this game that is why the Hornets won this game Charlotte Hornets Theo Maledon got 18 points, Bryce McGowens 22 points and Mark Williams has a double-double of 10 rebounds and 22 points,

Washington Wizards VS Houston Rockets SCORE 109 - 114 - WIN

The Washington Wizards surely got a great start but in the 3rd quarter the Rockets have shown that they can do it and win Jalen Green got 14 points, Tari Eason got 16 points, and Jabari Smith Jr. got 20 points but surely the Rockets got great spread winning the game against the Wizards,

Denver Nuggets VS Sacramento Kings SCORE 109 - 95 - LOST

I really thought that the Sacramento Kings would win this game at the beginning of the game the Kings made 42 points while the Nuggets got 26 points in the 1st quarter, but the Nuggets have gotten their way in defending Reggie Jackson got 16 points Zeke Nnaji 18 points and Bruce Brown Jr. got 21 points,

Today is going to be a real hard day to bet nba.  Most teams are going with their bench to play so it's gonna kind of be like a preseason game. There are 2 games which I'm taking though.

Lakers -16 against the Jazz.  They still have a reason to play.  Home game during the playin game is an extremely valuable spot to hold on to.

Golden state vs Portland -17.  They need to win this to stay out of the playin game and lock in with Sacramento.  They can actually get up to the 5 spot if they win and Clippers lose.  I'd rather be in the 6 hole than the 5.  Who would want to play the Suns right now than the kings?

Good luck and enjoy the last regular season game.  Bring on the playoffs!!

Here are my picks for tomorrow's game

Chicago Bulls VS Detroit Pistons

The stake odds for this game are 1.31 for the Bulls and 3.40 for the Pistons, right now Patrick Beverley, DeMar DeRozan, and Zach LaVine are all doubtful if they can play for the Bulls, while Alec Burks, Bojan Bogdanovic, Rodney McGruder, Isaiah Livers, Hamidou Diallo, and Isaiah Stewartcan do not play for the Pistons, and Eugene Omoruyi is doubtful  if he can play for the Pistons, for this game because of those injuries for the Detroit Pistons it really hard for them to play against the Bulls for this game so my pick is the Chicago Bulls,

Miami Heat VS Orlando Magic

The stake odds for this game are 1.46 for the Heat and 2.70 for the Magic, For this game, Nikola Jovic, can not play for the Heat, and Kyle Lowry, Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro, Max Strus, Victor Oladipo, Jimmy Butler are all doubtful if they can play for the Heat, while Moe Wagner, and Jay Scrubb, can not play for the Magic, and Gary Harris, Markelle Fultz, Franz Wagner, Paolo Banchero, Wendell Carter Jr. are all doubtful if they can play for the Magic, for this game, I think some of the Heats doubtful will or can play for this game, so my pick is the Miami Heat,

Cleveland Cavaliers VS Charlotte Hornets

The stake odds for this game are 1.42 for the Cavaliers and 2.85 for the Hornets, Right now Caris LeVert, Dylan Windler, Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, and Isaac Okoro can not play for the Cavaliers and Jarrett Allen are doubtful if they can play for the Cavaliers, while Gordon Hayward, Terry Rozier, Cody Martin, PJ Washington, and Kelly Oubre Jr. can not play for the Hornets, Dennis Smith Jr. is doubtful if he can play for the Hornets, for this game I guess even though Cavaliers have injuries they still can manage out of this predicament so my pick is the Cleveland Cavaliers,

Washington Wizards VS Houston Rockets

The stake odds for this game are 2.40 for the Wizards and 1.55 for the Rockets, right now Bradley Beal, Delon Wright, Kristaps Porzingis, Kyle Kuzma, Monte Morris, Daniel Gafford, and Deni Avdija can not play for the Wizards, while Jae'Sean Tate is doubtful if he can play for the Rockets, for this matchup because o the many injuries of the Wizards, I am going with the Houston Rockets,

Denver Nuggets VS Sacramento Kings

The stake odds for this game are 2.47 for the Nuggets and 1.53 for the Kings, Right now Collin Gillespie, can not play for the Nuggets Bruce Brown, and Jeff Green both are doubtful if they can play for the Nuggets, while Matthew Dellavedova, can not play for the Kings and Davion Mitchell and Malik Monk both are doubtful if they can play for the Kings, for this game I think I still got trust with the Nuggets in this game so my pick is the Denver Nuggets,

Apparently, nobody wants to face the 4th seed Suns (unbeaten when Durant is playing) in the first round. Could the Warriors lose on purpose and drop to 7th seed? Even though 7th does not guarantee a playoff spot, it gives you at least two home games to make the final cut. I'm not gonna lie, Blazers ML sitting at 10/1 is hella tempting.  

Lotto tickets here i come...

Lost both my team bets but thankfully these two Clippers players didn't let me down and covered my losses.

The Nuggets first five made a good lead in the 4th quarter against the Jazz but the bench cannot handle securing that lead so they lost. Sadly.
Clippers on the other hand also had everything under control. The spread was not covered but that's because Kawhi Leonard and Westbrook were benched at almost the whole 4th quarter with a large lead already set up. That's great because they will still have a game tomorrow and they will need all the rest they could get to have some energy and win their game. They will be up against the Phoenix Suns in their last game.

I really don't why the odds for players props on Jokic were very high, his double double odds was @ 2.15 and then Over 6.5 Assist @ 2.00, I was only able to be interpret into 2 ways, firstly was that Jokic is going to be on a heavy minute restriction or the Denver looking to create a significant lead and then rest their stars early but still the odds very rather to value to pass on Jokic, so I took them and then a ML bet on Utah Jazz @ 3.20...

It's was a perfect 3/3 for the night for me, and I hope tomorrow being the final day of the regular season, I'm looking to chase some mega odds 1k-3k Odds since half of the games are paying at the same time, while the same goes for the second half teams.

Utah Jazz - Denver Nuggets

I'm following this game, Utah dominated the game in the first period, won by a big point difference, something like 13 points difference, and a big point difference, but in the second period Denver recovered and won by 10 points of difference, in this third period that has not yet ended Denver is winning by a difference of 9 points, at this rate Denver has better chances to leave this game with a victory, everything will depend on this third period and the fourth period

San Antonio Spurs - Minnesota Timberwolves

well, for this game I think that winning is decided even before the game is over, Minnesota is winning by a big difference in points, in the first period it was balanced, with both teams tied, but things started to be different in the third period in which Minnesota won by a large difference of points, there were 12 points of difference, already in the third period Minnesota is also winning, at this rate Minnesota will win this game

Los Angeles Clippers - Portland Trail Blazers

this being a very balanced game, in the first period the Blazers won by a good difference of points, there were 7 points of difference, but in the second period the Clippers were better and won by a point of difference, and in the third period the Clippers are winning by 7 points of difference, it will be very difficult at this moment to predict who will win in this game

Can't really blame them because they already see what will likely happen if ever they will play in the play-in tournament. They already accepted their fate that their chances are much lower this time to reach further than what they did last playoffs because they sacrificed too much in the recent trade deadline. Looking at it now, it seems that the Brooklyn Nets was favored as they won that trade because they got a safe spot to play in the playoffs.

Jason Kidd Reveals Why Mavs Gave Up on Season Instead of Fighting for Play-In

∆ K. Leonard U25.5 points / Clippers ML @1.82 ∆   X

Kawhi has already recorded consecutive games with 40+ minutes in two very important games with NOP and LAL this week.

Clippers seeding is not secured by any means, they can end anywhere from 5th to 9th seed, full breakdown - here.

I'm hopeful Clippers grab an early double-digit lead and Kawhi gets limited minutes/rested in the second half (they play tomorrow again). He's gone over 25 points only twice in /L8.

I rarely play unders, but this looks like a good spot. Gl, everyone!
