Well well , it seems Bulls finally managed to save the season and clinch a playoff spot even if they are not a real contender for the finals. Honestly , I don't even see them having a deep tournament in play offs but would be actually lovely to see them fighting for Conference finals.

Meanwhile , Lakers are in a row! They have 4 winning streak and with how are they playing right now , they do look like a real contender for finals. It depends if they can sustain this in playoffs as well.

The Warriors are looking formidable as the playoffs draw near. If they continue to win their upcoming games, they will secure a playoff spot in the top 6. Even without home court advantage in the first round, their road record shouldn't be an issue in a best-of-seven series, especially with Wiggins expected to play in the playoffs.

By the way, does anyone here believe that the Warriors will win back-to-back? I believe the championship odds now is currently at +1100

Both Warriors and Timberwolves won their respective games, congratulations mate!

I only took a bet on the Warriors favor against the Thunders and nothing else because just like what you've said, they are just hard to beat on their own homecourt. And for the other games that happened earlier, I took a hard pass including that Wolves vs Nets match-up because I was having a hard time choosing as the Nets can still explode in any given time and game.

76ers took down the Boston Celtics as Joel Embiid exploded with 52 points and 12 rebounds plus James Harden provided a good help as well for contributing 20 points and 10 assists which brings them to a combined score of 72 points. That's already three-fourths of the Boston Celtics total score, it was a good game though. Didn't saw it coming, really.

Count me in on this pick! I place my bet during the middle of 3rd quarter when GSW was down by 7pts. I believe on GSW that they can overcome this small points gap on late 3rd quarter to 4th quarter because they don't want to be on the playin and they really need to win all their games to win on this 3ple tie breaker.

I didn’t watch the match when I place my bet because I play a couple of blackjack and I'm confident enough for my bet to win. Betting on teams that on the verge of play-in tournament is really amazing despite their incomplete roster.



This win recover my loss on Blackjack.  

And we won.

The Warriors somehow managed a good run in the 4th quarter. Even though they didn't have the lead for a long time, the energy can be seen on both ends of the floor.
Draymond Green and Kevon Looney, these guys are very critical for this team. Looney's offensive rebounding had been impressive since the start, he won't stop trying to get a second opportunity for the team.
That's their last game in Chase Center for the season. The other two games left will be on the road, I hope they can win their games.

Your Timberwolves ML won too. Nice. Congratulations.
My Grizzlies bet didn't cover the spread. Ouch!

New Orleans Pelicans vs Sacramento Kings
The Sacramento Kings (47-31) will visit the New Orleans Pelicans (40-38) tonight at Smoothie King Center. The Pelicans have won 7 of their last 10 games and are on the roll. I am betting they will try hard to get this one to be in a better position in the post season.
King key injuries: Malik Monk (leg) questionable
Pelicans key injuries: Jose Alvarado (leg) out

Philadelphia 76ers vs Boston Celtics
The Boston Celtics (54-24) will visit the Philadelphia 76ers (51-27) tonight at Wells Fargo Center. The 76ers is favored to win this game but I am rooting for an upset.
Boston Celtics key injuries: Jaylen Brown (back) questionable, Robert Williams III (knee) out

∆ J. Ivey 15+ points / J. Ivey 5+ assists @1.70 ∆    won

Ivey had a subpar game against Orlando, scoring 14 points on under .30% shooting. ORL has suddenly become a top defensive team in the league (second in defensive rating /L5) Lol. On the opposite side, Heat rank 25th in DefRtg /L5, and it seems that they have been slacking on defense as of late. Ivey getting 30+ minutes on regular basis and 15 to 20 FG attempts should be enough, Bagley being out helps too.  Ivey has covered the 5+ assist line in 7/L7.

I will tail you with the Warriors handicap bet, it's going to be in their home court, and we all know how strong the Warriors is at Chase Center specially in the third quarter wherein they can change the complexion of the game. I also like the chances of T'Wolves against the Nets, T'Wolves ML for me.

The game that I wanted to watch though is the Sixers vs Boston. Number 2 and number 2 seed, this could be interesting game, and see if the Sixers can bounce back. There could be some "predictable games", but who knows, maybe we can see some upsets, hehehe. Most likely will look for live betting and see we can find good odds.

If I remember it right, this is where I lost most of my bets last year. It becomes more strange as either they rest their stars or they play the game like it's just a game and not for a common goal when they are in critically need for a win.

I may take the Lakers as one of my parlays and then the Suns to keep their 4th plays in the West, plus they have Durant to make things easy.
Then, I will also take the Warriors -5.5 vs the Oklahoma City Thunders for my single bet. Both teams will be playing so hard that I won't be adding them to my parlays.
Grizzlies -15.5 versus the Trail Blazers, it may be a long shot too but I do think they can cover it with a team that has no stars playing anymore.

Some good mismatches today as the season winds down. Thinking I might throw up a parlay bet for the Lakers to beat the Jazz (closest matchup), the Suns to beat the Spurs, the Nuggets to beat the Rockets, and the Bucks to beat the Wizards. Most of those games should be gimmes except maybe the Jazz beating the Lakers. I think the Lakers hot streak will continue though.

Either way, you cannot trust the Kings in this game. We know how desperate the Pelicans are, and since they are playing at home, where they have a good record, it is likely that they will cover the small spread. Although the Kings are an amazing team, they have already secured a playoff spot, so they will most likely take it easy to avoid injuries.

Congrats to him for winning his Parley but even though I haven't made my bet I was really frustrated about the Golden State loss, well, if I were Klay Thompson for sure that will be the same reaction that I will have it is kind of annoying that you have given your best but your best wasn't good enough kind of reminded me of a song, but anyway the Golden State Warriors really needed a win so badly that even without Nikola Jokic they still lost a close game, Stephen Curry was really in bad shape and I really don't know why, the Warriors should make some efforts on defense more, they might underestimate a Denver Nuggets without the Joker, and I really thought that the games will be today, but looking at the date it will be on tomorrow,


For sure It will be a win for the Los Angeles Lakers, right now Mo Bamba was the only one that surely can not play for the Lakers, while for the doubtful players they got, Scotty Pippen Jr., D'Angelo Russell, Anthony Davis, and LeBron James but I think that these 4 will surely play if the LA Lakers will be needing them I think that they are on a stand by for now, and I surely saying this because the Lakers can not underestimate the Utah Jazz, they have seen what they can really do, and misjudging the Jazz will surely get them on losing this game,

The spread shouldn't be an issue for the opposing team, as they are playing at full strength with momentum on their side, while the Jazz are currently on a losing streak. However, the absence of Kessler is a major concern for the Jazz, as it could potentially impact their previously solid defense this season.

So yeah, grab that high spread. 

Any reason why the Kings is the underdog against the Pelicans? I know the Pelicans are trying to make a move in the playoffs and has been in a good run lately, but they are going to face the Sacramento Kings who wanted to continue their momentum this season as they are already assured of a playoff spot after so many years.

Only Malik Monk is listed so far as questionable on the side of the Kings.

Could this be a trap or it just the Kings will take this game lightly? And will just be in cruise control and not push the game to prevent their star player not getting injured?

The spread for the Lakers game may be high, but it wouldn't be surprising if they managed to cover it. The Jazz have already shut down Clarkson this season, and with Markkanen listed as questionable and their best defender out for the season, the Lakers have a good chance to dominate inside the paint with Anthony Davis.

It's difficult to see where the Jazz have an advantage in this matchup, aside from playing at home. However, given the Lakers' determination to secure a playoff position, home court advantage may not be a major factor in this game.

I'm amazed by the Lakers' performance so far, and it seems like it's worth continuing to support them until the regular season ends. Initially, we were concerned that they might miss the play-in tournament, but their current ranking suggests they have a good chance of making it into the top 6 as they're within striking distance of the GS Warriors and LA Clippers.

Their upcoming game against the Jazz is definitely worth betting on, as the Jazz appear to have lost some of their motivation to make the play-in tournament, as evidenced by their poor record in the last 10 games where they only won 3.

No NBA basketball today unfortunately. I did managed to throw a little something on the Lakers over the Rockets last night but as you can imagine that didn’t pay off anything crazy. The Lakers are back at it again against the Jazz tomorrow which I think will be another good win for them. Almost playoff basketball time when things get real.

Yes, I am a victim too.
My mistake was, I was too inclined toward teams that are desperate for the win because they are eager to enter the playoff spot. 2 games yesterday made me realize I should've done the normal analysis.

Anyway, it's our day off today. No games! A good opportunity to refresh our minds and maybe have a better bet next time.
But ready your wallet for tomorrow because we have lots of games that will happen. 13 games, if I am counting it right.

Tailing the SD money line, mate. Doesn't matter. Just taking the risk here.
Sorry, @stadus just a bit off topic here. 

2 for 3 not bad.  A couple more minutes and the Knicks could have easily covered.  Good last couple days but it seems so empty tonight with no games on!

Anyone going to be watching the ncaa college finals?  I'm thinking about throwing 2 bets down, one on SD state money line and the under.  My heart says uconn should take this but good odds on the ML right now.  Should be a defensive struggle out there.

Only @jakelyson saw it coming Congratulations on that win mate!

I'm sure that majority of us here was leaning towards the Warriors to upset the Nuggets on their own homecourt because the latest tip-off provided an information that the Nuggets will an incomplete roster, but the home team proved again why they are on the top and that they don't need Nikola Jokic to win this specific game. It was a close game though.
