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!

Utah Jazz + 8.5 vs Denver Nuggets
The Utah Jazz (36-44) will host the visiting Denver Nuggets (52-28) tonight at Vivint Smart Home Arena. With the Nuggets riddled with injuries, I am taking the Jazz +8.5 to win.
Nuggets key injuries: Bruce Brown (knee) probable, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (illness) questionable, Aaron Gordon (shoulder) questionable, Reggie Jackson (back) probable, Nikola Jokic (calf) questionable, Jamal Murray(thumb) questionable, Michael Porter Jr. (heel) questionable
Jazz key injuries: Talen Horton-Tucker (ankle) out, Lauri Markkanen (hand) out, Kelly Olynyk (rest) out, Collin Sexton (hamstring) out

Los Angeles Clippers -14.5 vs Portland Trail Blazers
The Lost Angeles Clippers will host the visiting Portland Trail Blazers tonight at Crypto.com Arena. Almost all in the roster are in the injuries list, it is too easy for the Clippers to win this game.
Trail Blazers key injuries: Drew Eubanks (ankle) questionable, Jerami Grant (quad) out, Damian Lillard (calf) out, Nassir Little (ankle) out, Jusuf Nurkic (knee) out, Cam Reddish (back) questionable, Anfernee Simons (foot) out, Matisse Thybulle (knee) out, Trendon Watford (ankle) probable, Justise Winslow (ankle) out
Clippers key injuries: Paul George (knee) out, Marcus Morris (back) out

Here are the result of my picks for games yesterday,

Charlotte Hornets VS Houston Rockets SCORE 109 - 112 - WIN

Just like I thought that Houston Rockets will be more forceful but still struggling against the Hornets with not many of their main players, and noticed they got the spread but there is not much consistency, that is why I have given the bet for the Houston getting a real chance in winning this time, while looking at Alperen Sengun 21 rebounds is really insane they got someone like that Dang! Jalen Green and Kevin Porter Jr. both got 26 points,

Washington Wizards VS Miami Heat SCORE 114 - 108 - LOST

The Only loss I got was a sad truth and it is really a risk the Miami Heat is just down to just Victor Oladipo but this is really a 50/50 option so I was really not shocked about the result, Jonathan Davis got 16 points, Carey Kispert got 19 points and Daniel Gafford got 22 points winning the game against the Heat,

Boston Celtics VS Toronto Raptors SCORE 121 - 102 - WIN

Surely the Toronto Raptors don't stand a chance against the many injured players of the Celtics, and the Boston Celtics just got to them like a typhoon it was a one-sided game, Jayson Tatum just got 21 points, Payton Pritchard got 22 points and Sam Hauser got 26 points destroying the Raptors like that,

Sacramento Kings VS Golden State Warriors SCORE 97 - 119 - WIN

Another strong game for the Warriors and against so many injured players for the Kings looking at their stat it is not really looking good for them in this game, and from that, the Warriors from start to finish just destroyed the Sacramento Kings, a great team in the West, Donte DiVincenzo  got 18 points Stephen Curry got 25 points and Klay Thompson was really hungry and surely wants another ring, got 29 points,

Would have went 3 for 3 if Dallas didn't punk out and tank the game just to keep their draft pick.  What a pitiful franchise I hope they swing and miss with their draft this year.  If there is any basketball gods out there they won't jump up in the lottery.  If somehow they can prove a team is tanking they should penalize them with taking away theor draft pick or something.  They still had a shot to get into the playin and they opted to chuck it away to keep their pick.  Laughable.  Well at least I went 2 for 3

And Luka only played for a single quarter, for the remaining 3 quarters. It's surprising enough that the Mavs almost got a win versus the Bulls because somehow the Bulls got more reliable roster without their core compared to the Mavs.

That sounds interesting surely, there will be some changes because the management isn't happy with the results they got after having a good run this season. But let's see what is it because as of now, no speculations yet.

Yeah, imagine if they still have Brunson. It could've been better. I don't want to be pessimistic yet for their future but when you see what happened in this season right when they got Kyrie, it really looked bad.

3/5 for my day.
Not that much profitable but it's okay.

I don't know what happened with Cameron Payne as I was watching the Sacramento Kings versus the Golden State Warriors. He only played 15 minutes which is unlikely to happen especially when they are resting their stars. Anyway, it's not that bad.
2 more days and the next 3 games later are too early so I am sharing my bets.

Utah Jazz - Denver Nuggets - Denver Nuggets -3.5 Their bench really played well against the Suns even with KD and Booker playing. I am hoping they could do the same against the Jazz.

Los Angeles Clippers - Portland Trail Blazers - Los Angeles Clippers (-14.5) Clippers badly need one more win. Blow them out as early as possible if they can.

Good luck everyone.

The Mavericks collapse since getting Kyrie Irving is almost unbelievable. I’m not sure why Kyrie is viewed as such a great player when he’s basically destroyed 4 teams in a row now.

The Lakers and Clippers both seem hungry for that last playoff spot without the play-in tournament. I think both LA teams are good bets to win the rest of their games this season.

With that loss, the Mavericks are officially eliminated from the tournament already.


Kyrie didn't play because of foot injury, and at the same time, Hardaway Jr. didn't play because of ankle injuries. Their 2 bigs Kleber, and Wood didn't play as well. What do you expect from the Mavericks if they ruled out their main role players. It's a bit surprising that they only lost by 3 points against the Bulls without DeRozan, and Lavine.

After having a very good playoff run, the Mavericks didn't even clinch the play-in position. I wonder what will the Mavericks front office will do in the off-season. Will they pursue Irving, and build a team around both him and Luka? Will they get better role players? Will Luka request a trade?

2 games will be given. The Lakers must win this and the Warriors too because the Sacramento Kings are also resting their stars while they have nothing to worry about in a secured spot for the playoffs.

I have the Warriors on my line at -11.5 during live bets. I cannot see the Kings getting back up from the big lead that is piling up so I guess I made the right decision.
Then I have props for the Phoenix Suns player Cameron Payne Over 16.5 points. I am not risking a bet of -10.5 for the Lakers bet just yet, will try when a window opens at a smaller spread.

The only hot game today is the Mavericks versus the Chicago Bulls and they are still playing with 1 minute left. A very close game.
Edit: Bulls won, 3 point lead.

The Bucks is already resting Giannis and the rest of the starters against the Memphis.

While Memphis is going full force in this game with Ja Morant still in the floor in the first quarter. So far it's close, but I wouldn't be surprised if Memphis will take this game in the 4th quarter.

So time for this bench warmers to see action, gonna be good for them as they could be needed in playoffs.

Odds is 9.5/-9.5 in this game.

The Suns are expected to rest Booker, Durant, Paul, & Ayton tonight against the Lakers. This is a game the Lakers desperately need to win and with the Suns resting all their guys, they should be able to get it done. A shame because this would have been one hell of a matchup. I guess I don’t have to be sad anymore that I won’t be able to watch the game.

Still, maybe an opportunity to bet on the Lakers with some decent odds.
