It was actually plus +12.5 spread last night.

Tonight got my picks in.

Laying hard on the Knicks +5.5
Taking the heat +12.  Think it's a trap bet but gotta ride the hot ticket.
Laying hard on Memphis -4.  Home cooking.
And taking golden state ML.  Was tough to bet on them but fox with a fractured figer on his shooting hand is going to be tough to overcome.

Enjoy the Knicks.  Knicks in 5! Knicks in 5! Knicks in 5! 😀

Not just you mate, same here, got nothing today because it turns out that the spreads was just big enough to cover as the underdogs were really fighting to gain another chance.

Anyway, betting in-favor of the Warriors is not really a bad idea even if they are now on the road and that bet you got might push through because the Kings #1 offensive weapon, De'Aaron Fox, might not play because of his finger injury. In-fact, he is listed questionable as of now.

As for me, I'll wait for the final tip-off just to make sure because some sources are also telling that Fox is already cleared to play in Game 5 but the odds are saying the opposite thing because the Warriors are currently the favorites to win @ 1.80

Wolves manage to cover the handicap. I don't know what happened with the Nuggets. It's already under 1 minute mark if I remember
It is right they are still leading 6 points.

I was under the impression that they'll be able to cover the spread, but sad to say those unnecessary mistake keeps the Wolves close.

almost an OT it's just experienced 2 time MVP use his skills to separate, Congrats to whoever takes the risk of taking the handicap for Wolves,
well covered with only 3 points deficit.

Yeah, I almost had it perfect. Perfect Loss.  Damn it!
Thanks to the Clippers' run, I won one of the team picks and some player props and then I hit the right over-and-under 3 games parlay too. Whew! I got scared I will not have enough budget for the games later.

I forgot to bet on Jokic's triple-double. I remembered Russell Westbrook @5.34 but it didn't hit. 2 rebounds and 2 assists shy to win it.
Didn't expect for Boston Celtics to be careless at the end of the game. I was so sure I will win it and there was a time they are at 13-point lead, iirc. That's when I stopped watching and switched to the Nuggets game until the commentator said the Hawks won. After watching the highlight I was shocked at how Trae Young carried his team for the win. Good game.

Tough luck for me - none of my best bets have won because the underdogs fought hard, and the Atlanta Hawks even won their game against the Celtics. But that's part of gambling - you don't win all the time. With that loss, I'm inclined to bounce back tomorrow with a bet all in on the Warriors. Double or nothing, here we go.

The Clippers had an uphill battle against the Suns without Kawhi and Paul George. Westbrook was carrying their weight for a bit but just couldn’t keep it up tonight. I definitely didn’t expect the Atlanta Hawks to be the team to upset today though. I would have picked Minnesota to be the upset today and it looked like they were going to after the first quarter.

It seems that none of the home teams are likely to cover the spread in today's games. The only team that has a chance to cover the spread at this point is the Phoenix Suns, but given the current state of the game, it's uncertain whether they will, as the LA Clippers are putting up a good fight. The game is very close so far, and either team could come out as the winner.

Regarding the Wolves vs Nuggets game, the Nuggets only have a chance to cover the spread if the game goes into overtime.

NO OT!

The money line parlay bet for all 3 favorites for today's game would have been lost already, Ice cold Trae and the Atlanta Hawk causing a major upset at the TD Garden.

Of course everyone would have expected Boston Celtics to close the series today, since the momentum was already on their side, but without Dejounte Murray, Trae Young and John Collins were able to force Celtics to a game 6, and with Atlanta Hawks having home court for game 6, this could go all the way to a potential game 7.

For the other 2 games, Clippers are already still giving the Phoenix Suns a run for their money, as Clippers are up by 9 points into half time, while it's just a 3 point difference game between Denver Nuggets and Timberwolves, this is the worse night to back the favorites to cover those big points spread of theirs.

Good luck, man! You already have one win with Atlanta +13. You should have gone with the moneyline.

Regarding the Wolves, they have a decent chance since they are currently leading the game. It looks like the Nuggets are struggling to close this game, but let's see; the game is not over yet.

As for the Clippers -12.5, that's too ambitious. What are the betting odds for that one?

I'm going completely against the grain tonight.  Taking all the toad dogs.

Atlanta +13 lol.  Why not.

Clippers -12.5. Russ masterclass incoming lol.

Timberwolves ML.  Seriously...

This might completely blow up in my face but have we ever had a 3 game playoff night with all the games being 20 point blowouts?  Against the wall someone has to show up right?  Right?.  Will probably regret this but hey how maybe not

Enjoy the games people!

Player history, brother.
And the way they are playing today, (Grizzlies versus Lakers) they are more focused on protecting the rim and defensive plays. Even Jarred Vanderbilt had 3 blocks in this game. Lebron also had a share of 2 blocks.

3 games are available, and homecourt advantage for the teams who are in the lead.

I tried making a Moneyline parlay for all the favorites and ending their series but it's just x1.45 in total. Sadly.
Denver Nuggets versus Minnesota Timberwolves - Denver Nuggets (-10.5) I just love this Nuggets team and I know they will end it now. It will just be a matter of the spread if they can cover it.

Boston Celtics versus Atlanta Hawks‍ - Boston Celtics (-10.5) They gave one, but it's too obvious they can dominate the Hawks if they play harder. 3 times I won my Celtics bet and all the spreads were covered. I wish they will do it one more time.

Phoenix Suns versus Los Angeles Clippers - Los Angeles Clippers (10.5) - Clippers will probably lose but I want to see how far Westbrook would go trying to survive the series. The +10 should be enough to cover it if they will hustle again like in Game 4 even without Kawhi Leonard.

Boston Celtics - Atlanta Hawks

Celtics come into this game with great comfort because they won 3 games against the Hawks but even with all this comfort they will do everything to win this game and in case of victory they will have 4 wins against 1 win for the Hawks, so the Hawks will no longer have anything to do, while the Hawks will come to this game very determined to win the game in the hope of prolonging it for other remaining games and see if they can pass to another phase, but without a doubt that the Hawks will be with a lot of pressure in this game which will make them make a lot of mistakes that will be taken advantage of by the Celtics, that's why I believe that the Celtics will win this game

Denver Nuggets - Minnesota Timberwolves

Denver Nuggets comes to this game with a mission to win and move on to another phase, after in the last game they made some mistakes that made them lose the game and gave more hope to the opponent, in this game they need to keep calm and concentrate to achieve winning the game and with a victory in this game, they have 4 victories against 1 victory of their opponent and with that they move to another phase, while for the Minnesota Timberwolves a victory in the last game gave them hope and in this game they will play to win because with plus another victory are with chances to pass to another phase

Phoenix Suns - Los Angeles Clippers

the case of the Phoenix Suns is very interesting, they lost in the first game, but then they had a sequence of 3 games in which they won all of them, making them 3 wins against 1 win, in case they win today's game they will move to another phase , but their opponent the Los Angeles Clippers comes into this game willing to win the game to fight to pass to another stage, given the small odd value in favor of the Phoenix Suns and the last performance of the Phoenix Suns I think that the Phoenix Suns win this game

I can see that we have 3 games tomorrow and those mentioned match-up does have a 3-1 standing on their respective series, now I believe that at least two teams will advance on the second round because there's that one match-up that I'm not that sure if their series will end tomorrow. This should be fun!

Atlanta Hawks vs Boston Celtics -11 - Dejounte Murray out

Minnesota Timberwolves vs Denver Nuggets -8.5 -Anderson out and Nowell is questionable; none for the Nuggets.

Los Angeles Clippers +11.5 vs Phoenix Suns - Leonard and PG is still out for the Clippers while Payne for the Suns.

Honestly, it's quite a relief that I didn't made any bets today even the Lakers vs Grizzlies game because if I did, I will surely have another bad night betting because I'm already rooting for the Grizzlies to tie the series and the Bucks as well mainly because Giannis came back while the Heat is undermanned.

I'd say that I'd made the right thing though Back to the topic, playoffs Jimmy is totally different and he carried the team again. He is now the highest scorer in Miami Heat when it comes to playoff games followed by LeBron James and then Dwayne Wade.

It opened at -8.5, but now it has moved to -9.5.

I think this will be a blowout win by the Nuggets. They can't miss the opportunity to close the series, and obviously, they were the better team here. The Nuggets have covered the spread in Game 1 and Game 2, which means they played better at home. It will be hard for the Timberwolves to come back since the pressure on them is very high. Even if the line moves to -10, I still find it attractive.

All my previous bets are lost

Miami Heat vs Milwaukee Bucks

Los Angeles Lakers vs Memphis Grizzlies

---

But surely I really want to bounce back so this is my new bet for the following game,

Boston Celtics vs Atlanta Hawks (Over 227.5)

The Boston Celtics will face the Atlantic Hawks in game 5 at TD Garden, Key Injuries for the Celtics Danilo Gallinari (knee) is out while there are no injuries for the Hawks, 1 more win for the Celtics and they are advancing to the finals, for me, it is hard to predict who's going to win but I am betting for the total Over scores of 227.5 for both teams in this game

Denver Nuggets vs Minnesota Timberwolves

The Denver Nuggets will face the Minnesota Timberwolves in game 5 at Ball Arena, key injuries for the Nuggets, Collin Gillespie (lower leg) is out for the season, while Key injuries for the Timberwolves Naz Reid (wrist) is out, Jaden McDaniels (hand) is out, Kyle Anderson (eye) is out and Jaylen Nowell (knee) questionable if he can play, for this game, I am betting for the Denver Nuggets, 1 most win and they are advancing to the finals,

I have a feeling that all the home teams will win and cover the spread, as well as end the first round series with a victory.

Therefore, my bets are:

Boston Celtics -13
Denver Nuggets -9.5,
and Phoenix Suns -12.5.

I believe these games will result in a blowout win for the home teams.

This is what Jimmy Butler game when he is on hyper mode. But this kind of performance of him always gave him a lot of stress in his body that always result to out of gas on the later round of the playoffs. Same scenario last year when they lose against Boston in the finals of the conference. Jimmy is already suffering a lot of minor injuries that gave him burden to play well. Good thing now Adebayo is helping him to give an extra hand on defense and offense unlike before.


Betting on total blocks and steals is kinda hard. How can you analyze this kind of bet? Anyway Davis game today is more on defense and he let his teammates do the score. Probably he feel like everyone is on good shooting form.

Both teams are in danger, but the Milwaukee Bucks still have a decent chance of coming back if they can win their home game in Game 5. The Bucks will need to focus their defense on Butler and learn how to double him, as his hot streak is making his teammates confident and that makes their team very dangerous.

Despite not having a great regular season, we shouldn't forget that this team was once led to the NBA Finals by the same leader.

Congrats on your win betting on Jackson anyway.

Indeed he is insane.  Another unforgettable feat from Jimmy Buckets. This is what he wants, to be a leader and he definitely showed today how a leader can step up his game when they are broken. No Tyler Herro, no Victor Oladipo, and almost half of the Heat scores were from him.

1/2
Milwaukee Bucks -6.5 Lost, they are in danger.
LA Lakers -4.5 Won, Grizzlies in danger.
I got one miracle bet that made me happy today. I thought I am not going to win it until Anthony Davis blocked that last shot of Ja Morant with 0.8 seconds remaining in regulation. Here is the ticket.

The Defensive Player of the Year didn't disappoint me but what Anthony Davis did was shocking. 2 steals, and 4 blocks.
