The Dallas Mavericks are now in very delicate situation and there is big chance that they're not going to making the play-in at all imo, 1-5 in their last 5 games is just the were the damage was done, especially those back to defeat against Charlotte Hornets, you really just can't afford to lose those games, and not expect this kind of consequence.
Meanwhile Utah Jazz with a game less have a chance to catch up with them with a win against Brooklyn Nets, I'll give that 10th spot to Oklahoma City Thunder, I just hope they can count on SGA for these games, it's going to be relative easier with him on the court, although a lot of other guys have stepped up big time too.
With their lose against the Miami Heat, I already knew that the experiment was a failed one.
There are on a point where they are struggling, and in the off-season, I wonder what will they do when Kyrie decided not to sign on the Mavericks. Ohhh they really don't want to re-sign with the Mavericks at first place right knowing what Kyrie wants.
Good job to Mark Cuban, but they need to do lots of work on the off-season to gather better players.
As for the Jazz, they still have a chance if they will win on their final 5 games. They might get the 10th seed if they will make a 5-game win streak.
Anyway, here are my picks for tonight's ballgame.
Oklahoma City Thunder - Phoenix Suns - Phoenix Suns
- There are no injured on the Phoenix Suns, so I expect that they will steal one on the road against the Thunder. On the other hand though, the Thunder needed the win more than the Suns needed it because a win for the Thunder might put them on the 9th seed (depending on the outcome of the Blazers - Timberwolves match). Overall, I'll go with the Suns on this one.
Atlanta Hawks - Dallas Mavericks - Atlanta Hawks
- I'm done betting with the Mavericks, and with back to back games, I believe that fatigue will kick out knowing that they will play back to back games on the road. I think that the Hawks will win against them on their home.
Chicago Bulls - Memphis Grizzlies - Memphis Grizzlies
- The Grizzlies might have a below .500 record on the road (like what most teams' record is), but the Bulls doesn't have a good home record at all with 20-18 (yes I consider it not good knowing that it's their home). I think that the Grizzlies will steal one on the road with this one.
Good luck to all bettors.
