Jimmy was insane! He carried his team and now they lead the series 3-1 against the number 1 seed. Unfortunately, I missed betting on this game, so I didn't win anything. However, I just wanted to share how impressed I am with his performance.

Regarding taking the Heat to win the championship, the odds are currently 51.00.

In my opinion, they have a chance, but it's still quite a long shot. They will need to keep playing at a high level and hope that the other teams have some major issues or injuries. So, while it's possible, I would say it's not very likely.

Here's some trivia by the way about a series that is 3-1.


13 times only, and NBA is 70 years old already which translate to 18.5% chance of coming back. (13/70)

What Sweep? the Minnesota Timberwolves have already won game 4 against the Denver Nuggets, it seems that overtime was the right thing to do, and most of the Nuggets are gas out, but surely this could also affect the players on the Timberwolves so it is a double-edged sword for them  but they won that game, for me, game 5 will be a win for the Denver Nuggets this time,


It was a crucial game for the Milwaukee Bucks in their next match because the Miami Heat won 3 of their games, in Milwaukee Bucks if Giannis Antetokoumpo isn't 100% healthy and Jimmy Butler has fired up 56 points on the Bucks this is the end for the Milwaukee Bucks, if they struggle again in the next game for sure this is the end for the number 1 in the East,

Now here are the result of my picks today

Miami Heat VS Milwaukee Bucks (MIA LEADS 3-1) SCORE 119 - 114 - LOST

Los Angeles Lakers VS Memphis Grizzlies (LAL LEADS 3-1) SCORE 117 - 111 - WIN

Congratulations on your win, I really don't know how to say it but then I feel the Memphis Grizzlies were rather unlucky or could it be inexperience coming to play once again, the had they chance to win the game in the 4th quarter and if you watched the entire game, you'd probably agree with me. However, D'Angelo Russell with those clutch 3 3 pointers was the day saver for the Lakers, to be honest, and I strongly think If Grizzlies were just as healthy as the Lakers, it could have been a different series. It's probably series over for the Grizzlies, or do you see them crawling back into this ?

I put my money down on the Laker at -4.5.  I just feel like Lebron and AD both healthy is going to be too much for Ja and crew.  Plus I'm king of being a homer with the Lakers this post-season as I know Lebrons days are numbered when it comes to playing, and especially playing at a high level. 

They are up 10 points right now on Grizzlies, but of course we've got a lot of game left to play.  Was a long day at work, going to be difficult to stay up for this one lol

I'll go with the under 223.5 on the Lakers vs Memphis game later as both teams have been scoring less these past few games and the series is heating up between these two teams.

I just hope it doesn't go to OT like the Nuggets game yesterday, the under on that game should've been secured if only Jokic got both free throws at the end.


Edit: Wow the game actually went to OT. 

I just the Wolve's back are agaisnt the wall, and playing at homecourt, they really took advantage of it specially in the OT. I thought that Jokic will take over specially that there's no Kyle Anderson and then KAT got his 6 fouls and obviously not on the floor. It is only Rudy Gobert that he needs to contend in the middle. And so this series continues.

I'm taking the Heat on live betting +10.5. Bucks leading by double digit, 3rd quarter.

I think Miami can cut that lead in the 4th to make it a close game.


Easy money for us as the Lakers win in double digits.  

Giannis Antetokounmpo obviously still isn't healthy and you could tell from the low back massage at every time he goes to to bench, and he's doing his bit in a decent manner I'd say, he had 17 points in the first half alone, so I think he should get your bet.

Our fates are somewhat aligned for tonight on this because, I went with Giannis over 26.5 @ 1.76, so if neither teams get blown out in the 3rd Quarter and Giannis is able to stay in the game, because he playing very less aggressively like an healthy Giannis would, still I believe he should get us our money!

∆ J. Butler 1+ steals / K. Lowry 2+ assists / C. Martin 12+ PRA @1.62 ∆  X

Butler has 7 steals in the series, with at least 2 in each game. I don't see this trend ending in a pivotal game 4.

Lowry had three assists in games one, two, and three, and with Herro and Oladipo out, the Heat just don't have that many playmakers sitting around. Gabe Vincent was ineffective in game 3, thus Lowry is likely to play 25+ minutes today.

Caleb Martin has put up decent numbers off the bench, and his minutes have increased from 25 to 28 to 32 in game 3. With Strus being somewhat of a liability on defense, i think his minutes are secured. He's topped 12 PRA in each game (lowest 18).


∆ G. Antetokounmpo O43.5 PRA @1.86 ∆   won

The Bucks cannot afford to go down 3-1...if they do, it will be almost impossible to come back. This is a risk since we don't know how serious Giannis' injury is or how many minutes he'll get today, but he's shown he can play through issues like this before, basically playing on one knee in the finals against the Suns in their championship year. During the regular season, his PRA ranges between 50 to 55, so 43.5 felt like a bargain.

I feel like I'm beating the same thing over but the Lakers should have put the choke hold on them.  Tonight the game won't start as bad as it did for the Grizzlies as the other day.  I'm expecting a good game but a new sense of urgency from Memphis.  If they win tonight they have home court advantage in what effectively will be a best of 3 series.

They didn't. They lost yesterday.
This will be a task that needs hard work. We saw how Ja Morant can easily find his rhythm in the last 5 minutes of the game when he created his own 19 points consecutive run all by himself.
Anthony must play consistently which means the same as Games 1 and 3. 20+ points and 15+ rebounds. The defense should also be like Game 3 where he protected the rim a lot of times from those who would try to attack the paint. Another key to winning the game is to not let Desmond Bane create havoc early because that guy can get hot as fast as he could. Whoever is defending him last time must keep it up. Vanderbilt or Reaves.

Giannis is playing guys.

Miami Heat versus Milwaukee Bucks - Milwaukee Bucks (-6.5)
With Giannis around they can go back to spreading the floor more and wait for the kick out pass that will be received from Giannis. And him being back on the lineup might surprise the Miami Heat so I will take the Bucks now.

Los Angeles Lakers versus Memphis Grizzlies - Los Angeles Lakers (-4.5) I have not seen them play that hard in the season and that Game 3 game showed there is still room for them to be a better team. Preventing the Grizzlies to score just 9 points in the first quarter was really amazing.

Hit with the Knicks and the under yesterday but dropped the next 2 games.  Even Steven on the day.

Today I got Miami at home +7.5. I know giannis, but that's a lot of points on the road.

And I like Memphis to tie this one back up.  Taking Memphis and the ML.

Also took 2 prop bets.:

AD over 0.5 three pointers made
Lebron under 2.5  three pointers made.

Good luck and enjoy the games!

Nuggets will surely have a sweep and I am expecting Lakers to get 3-1 ahead as well. This is a tough season to bet on the west because so many teams are very close to each other and not many teams got too much ahead. Nuggets are the only ones who did that and I am expecting them to sweep because of that, but aside from them any other team could beat any other team and we would not really know about it.

Hence, we should not be having any sure things in our mind and we could be very well wrong about it too. Just focus on what you can do and how you could profit etc from this, so that you could do better. I know not many people do that right now but if you could do that then you are going to be fine about it and just be careful, do not think one team is much better than the other, do not take big risks.

Judging from game 3 the Sacramento Kings have adjusted something to be this good for game 4 and surely Mike Brown is the former assistant coach for the Warriors for nothing they definitely adjust the whole play for the Warriors to struggle like that, I think Steve Kerr will need to see some key points for the Warriors to adjust in the impending away game on Game 5 I will see to it that I will bet for the Warriors I still have my faith in them moving forward,

Here are my picks for tomorrow's games

Miami Heat VS Milwaukee Bucks

The Stake odds for this game are 3.00 for the Heat and 1.42 for the Bucks, right now Tyler Herro and Nikola Jovic can not play for the Miami Heat, and Bam Adebayo, Victor Oladipo, and Jimmy Butler are all doubtful if they can play for the Heat, while Wesley Matthews can not play for the Bucks and Giannis Antetokounmpo is doubtful if he can play for the Bucks, Right now I think this game is a revenge game for the Bucks after losing game 3 on Miami Heat the Bucks will surely win this one, so my pick is the Milwaukee Bucks,

Los Angeles Lakers VS Memphis Grizzlies

The stake odds for this game are 1.51 for the Lakers and 2.65 for the Grizzlies, Right now LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Dennis Schroder are all questionable if they can play for the Lakers, while Jake LaRavia and Steven Adams can not play for the Grizzlies, for this game I really think that Lebron James and Anthony Davis can still play for this game they surely need to push themselves so they can get to the finals, so my pick is the Los Angels Lakers,

I thought the was Denver has handled Minnesota in the first 3 games that this was easy money. The run to send them to OT really was impressive and I was thinking Denver dominates OT. Disappointed is all I can say.

Another unremarkable season for the Brooklyn Nets and for sure it is not a good taste for their fans well it started with Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant wanting to be traded and all have let loose and the rest of the team can not maintain their lead in the upper seed, It was a great start but surely a bad ending for the Brooklyn Nets, I feel sorry for them getting Sweep by the Boston Celtics last season and getting Sweep again this time by the Philadelphia 76ers,

Miami Heat vs Milwaukee Bucks

The Miami Heat will be playing the Milwaukee Bucks in game 4 at Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida, the Miami Heat's key injury: Tyler Herro (hand) is out, Nikola Jovic (back) is out, Bam Adebayo (hamstring) questionable, Victor Oladipo (knee) questionable, and Jimmy Butler (lower body) questionable while the Bucks Key injury: Wesley Matthews (calf) is out and Giannis Antetokounmpo (back) questionable, I think that Giannis Antetokounmpo will still play for this game, and they will win this game for sure,

Los Angeles Lakers vs Memphis Grizzlies

The Los Angeles Lakers will be playing the Grizzlies in game 4 at Crypto.com Arena, the Laker's Key injuries are LeBron James' (foot) questionable, Anthony Davis's (foot) questionable, and Dennis Schroder's (foot) questionable, while Memphis Grizzlies' key injuries are Jake LaRavia (calf) is out, Steven Adams (knee) is out, for this game the lead of the Lakers was really great but I think that the Grizzlies will surely retaliate in checking the recent game of Ja Morent getting 40 plus points my pick is the Memphis Grizzlies,

Quite intense day, I reckon. Only got 1/3 bets

Sacramento Kings almost won the game and so is my bet, I was right that I should've made a few bets in the spread because it was just a 1-point game. Anyway, who would've thought that the Golden State Warriors will struggle like that while defending their home but for the coming games, it's a road game for them, so I will still lean towards the Kings.

Almost! Ergh!
I love how the Denver Nuggets recovered in the last 3 minutes of the game. 12-0 run if I remember it right, they got stops and turn them into successful offensive shots. Then, took the game to overtime but that added 5 minutes of the game, I saw exhausted Nuggets players. Well, they will be playing back at their home and I am pretty sure they will end it there.

I am 1/4 total today. It seems my lady luck keeps on avoiding me.
I had the right call for the Boston Celtics to win against the Atlanta Hawks even on the road. I think Trae Young is working too much and his teammates are not that focused to win the game unlike the Celtics who have so many options and all of them have fiery eyes with a goal to come back for a championship game.

Tomorrow 2 games.
No recent news about Giannis, he is still in doubtful status.
Dillon Brooks is not suspended after hitting Lebron James' groin.

Thanks mate but I totally missed the games for today, I already fell asleep yesterday and didn't get a chance but will be looking forward to the game tomorrow, but right now I was really excited when I saw the games today, the Games today were all great watch, New York Knicks VS Cleveland Cavaliers the Knicks now needing only 1 win to advance to the finals, the Golden State Warriors had a too close game against the Sacramento Kings with only just 1 point lead, at home right now the next game will be a truly fun game because the Warriors is now playing away, right now it was a tie, and Atlanta Hawks also have a close game against the Boston Celtics which the Celtics only need 1 more game to win, and the Timberwolves VS the Nuggets were the Minnesota Timberwolves got their 1 win over the Nuggets in this playoffs,


Sad to say the curse of the sweep still remains for the Brooklyn Nets, right now the Minnesota Timberwolves have won against the Denver Nuggets in this remarkable close game for sure I would also bet for the Denver Nuggets just like you guys but I fell asleep last night and missed the games today, it was a bummer but still a great chance to fix and ready my picks for tomorrows games,

 

I am expecting a sweep also in the Denver game. I hopped on late and bet the live line Den -2.5 for 1.93 odds. Hoping Jokic can dominate as he has done the first 3 games of the series but I also expect Minnesota to be real tough tonight.

2 early losses.
Cleveland Cavaliers lost to New York Knicks. Now at 3-1 with the Knicks in the lead. They just need one more win to advance to the next round.
Golden State Warriors won to tie the series but failed to cover the spreads. -6.5 was just @1.78 but it's not even near.

Anyway, we have two more games coming up. I wish I can get these two right.
Atlanta Hawks versus Boston Celtics - Boston Celtics (-6.5) - Hawks are underrated most of the time in this series and the Celtics had always been the favorites even on the road. I think the Celtics could snatch this one, covering the spreads will be the question. If they can start good, then it will end better.

Minnesota Timberwolves versus Denver Nuggets - Denver Nuggets (-4.5) Sweep. That's what I am expecting from the Nuggets and it's not impossible to happen. They are now 3-0, one more win and they can have their long rest to prepare for whoever their next opponent will be. They can also play in a calmer mood unlike how forceful the Twolves would need to get back on the series.
