It's a do or die game for the OKC tomorrow, while the Dallas would want to win the series at home. On the last 5 games, Dallas has more impressive win so I don't see the OKC coming back and force a game 7 on their home court. It might be a public bet but I believe based on the trend on the series, the home team could easily dominate, therefore my pick is ...

DALLAS -3.5 (loss)

\\  Updated record 18(W)-18(L)..... 50%

At least Dallas were able to come back and win, I thought there will be a game 7 as OKC have dictated the game early. they just could not stop SGA, good thing Dallas have their own run as well and Luka shooting well despite having many turnovers.

I guess we gonna move to the 2 upcoming games.

First game, Knicks vs Pacers.

I have Pacers +3.5 and under 207.5

2nd game Wolves vs Nuggets

I have Nuggets -5 and under 196.5

Yesterday, the Pacers and Knicks missed countless shots in the first three to four minutes of each quarter, I thought it would go under but eventually, they picked up the pace and started landing their shots within 10-15 seconds of each possession to cash my over 215 bet.  Cheesy

On to the next match, i'll be on the Mavs spread (-3.5) since they have the advantage to end the series today, and the winning team usually wins by four or more points.


Edit: The Mavs failed to cover the spread, but what an intense finish. Shocked

That really was a close game to say the least, OKC had the game within their reach and was theirs to lose down the stretch in the 3rd and over midway into the 4th Quarter, but they paid the heavy price of double teaming Luka Doncic while every other Dallas Mavericks players were able to make much needed baskets and not so contested 3 and mid range shots. The better team went through imo.

L. Doncic 1+ stocks / Jalen Williams 1+ stocks / L. Dort 1+ 3pts @1.51  won

Yo, we need OKC to get their shit together and force a Game 7, wouldn't it be great to have three Game 7s in a row?

I'm rather having a rough NBA Playoffs, my player props are not hitting at the usual rate, nowhere near that sweet 65-70 win percentage.

Anyway, this play has a 100% hit ratio in the playoffs. Doncic has 1+ stocks in 11/L11, Jalen Williams 1+ stocks 9/L9, and Dort is averaging 2+ 3pts during the playoffs while also leading his team in 3PT attempts and makes.

I'm probably going to be going against the grain with this pick but I'm taking okc +4.5.  They might not win but I think sga keeps this close.  With his ability to get to the line so easily I think he drives a ton this game.  Also with the pressure turned up I'm going to take the over 208.5. I think one or 2 of the quarters we will see a flurry of points scored.

Good luck and enjoy the game!

Going against the majority, that's a nice strategy. Well, honestly I am also not so comfortable betting on the Mavs spread in this game especially since Mavs came from a big win. I just feel that teams losing their previous game has a high chance of hitting that ATS. However, since it's the Mavs homecourt and the chance for them to close the series, that makes is very dangerous.

The last 3 games was under 206, so this line that is presented now is attracting the under bettors, with that, I think I would tail your over as most likely we are going to see a great shooting for both teams, especially the OKC who had been struggling with their outside shooting in the past few games.

I'm with the popular opinion on this one.  I think OKC was overmatched from the beginning in this series and I'm surprised they did as well as they did considering...  However, I think Luka and Kyrie want to get this one over with tonight and won't be playing any games to get it done.  This is when that killer instinct needs to show that makes them superstars.  I can't say I'll be watching because these teams are honestly pretty boring to watch, but I'll check out the highlights when I get a chance later tonight and to see if I won my bet.

Indiana Pacers - New York Knicks - Indiana Pacers (-3.5) - Won! No problem for the Pacers. They drowned the Knicks with their high level of defense and the offense mostly came from everyone. Haliburton, Siakam, McConnell, and even Toppin have their moments too. I cannot even count how many dunks he made.
Truly, that was a master performance from the Pacers.

Later, Game 6. Will this series also have a Game 7? Hmmm. It kind of makes me think it will because of the recent games which ended in Game 7.
But, I am a Luka Doncic fan. Here is my bet.
Dallas Mavericks - Oklahoma City Thunder - Dallas Mavericks (-3.5)
Also taking this bet. Over 207.5 @1.82

But I believe you are correct in assuming the NBA wants more money so the likelihood of a game 7 is quite high.
So going with the Pacers ML.
Congratulations.

Good luck everyone and enjoy the game.

I feel like the Knicks are going to try and end things here so I feel pretty good about their odds to win +7.5.  After the Denver/Minnesota game I am a little worried the NBA wants to see a game 7, so I'm betting the maximum spread.  I don't want to push conspiracy theories or anything, but it sure seems like the NBA has a way of having things work out just how they want (So I bet against it.  I'm smart. lol)...

Indiana Pacers - New York Knicks
Handicap (Incl. Overtime)
New York Knicks (7.5)

Odds

I took an L on that one. I thought the Knicks would keep it closer. Looks like we’re set for a couple of game 7s coming up. The Knicks better step it up if they want to win. It’s not a good look to shoot such a lower fg% than your opponent while getting outrebounded by such a large amount. Suspect that both NY and Denver got blown out to force game 7s.

Who is betting live? It's a close game at Indianapolis so far. I don't usually do well on handicap betting but I'm still taking Pacers (-4.5) @1.8. Brunson shooting poorly in the first quarter which could be good for the Pacers and my bet but Siakam's two early fouls could pose trouble late in the game.

Aaron Nesmith have done an impressive job on keeping Brunson at bay for most of the entire first half in which Brunson scored only just 5 points, but it has been different story in 3rd quarter as Brunson put up 14 points. Heading into 4th quarter now with 13 points advantage to the Pacers. I think it's safe to already say the series is going all the way and we'll have a game 7! Of course except the Knicks are able to pull off something magical in 4th quarter.

Brunson shoots bad on the last 2 games on the road, but the Knicks have to play more defense on him as he is unstoppable at home. As predicted, the series reach a game 7 which is going to be fun and I don't see another blowout win from the home here. The spread itself would show that it's going to be a close one, I'll monitor the injury status of the Knicks roster,  if Hart will play, probably my play would be the Knicks.

Losing Josh Hart to injury will be a very huge problem for the Knicks, I strongly doubt that the Knicks can afford to lose another player, they are barely getting by with OG Anunoby absence, and Hart is the second heart of the Knicks defence and without him with OG also still sideline, they don't stand a chance to beat the Pacer even if the decider is being played at MSG wouldn't matter.

I guess game 7 would have a different outcome, so betting this early might be a good thing to do as when Hart and OG will be announced as out, that time will probably shift. Pacers haven't won a game in MSG yet, game 7 might be the first time in the series. Spread now -2.5 for the Knicks, and the total is 209, this should easily go over IMO, or maybe betting on the Pacers TT over, that might be attractive as well.

it was a great morning when I wake up, a big win by the Pacers and the Nuggets have controlled the game. From down below 50%, now I'm up to 52%. Just a slow process and hopefully we will reach the 55% in no time.

So having another early picks, hopefully the streak will continue.

Cleveland +8.. Celtics may win but this time it will not be a blowout. I think the Cavaliers will play harder, will make good adjustment before leaving for the Celtics in game 5.  (win)

Dallas -1. I like them to take the 3-1 in the series. It's been 2 straight the Dallas had won and the OKC was not able to make the right adjustment. Irving hasn't played his best yet in the series, this game he might explode. (loss)

\\  Updated record 18(W)-17(L)..... 52%

It's a do or die game for the OKC tomorrow, while the Dallas would want to win the series at home. On the last 5 games, Dallas has more impressive win so I don't see the OKC coming back and force a game 7 on their home court.

That's the worst that I've seen for the Denver Nuggets that it looked like a giveaway.

Minnesota Timberwolves - Denver Nuggets - Denver Nuggets ML @2.09 Loss!

Later we have 1 game. Game 6 of this series and Knicks has the upper hand. Will the Pacers fight back? I think so.
Indiana Pacers - New York Knicks - Indiana Pacers (-3.5)

Also expecting a game 7 to happen and it will probably boost the money of the NBA.
Tyrese Haliburton will be the key player here. As Reggie Miller said, he must put volume in his shots, he had been shy to shoot the ball and stars don't act like that. He got so used to his passing ability that he forgot he was also a threat in shooting. He won't be in the 3-point shootout if not. Shoot threes, attack the paint, and make the Knicks confused about what he will do. Be unpredictable.
Believe it or not every bet I have placed whether it be a single ML, betbuilder, winner +O/U market or multi-props bet none of them have hit once for this NBA play-offs.

But I believe you are correct in assuming the NBA wants more money so the likelihood of a game 7 is quite high.
So going with the Pacers ML.

Watch it nosedive just because I have now said I was betting on it. Bloody superstitious dookie.

I had a hunch that regression was coming for the Nuggets after shooting the ball for almost 60% in that other game, but I still fell for it.  Tongue

I'm changing my bet with the totals since the Knicks could end it on the road again and they had a good chance to snag a road win during that game three. Also, the Knicks spread is tempting since six points is a lot, then again I wouldn't be surprised to see it go the other way and the Knicks lose by double digits.

I also feel that way, New York Knicks should be able cover to the spread, and possibly even end the series here the best value for me would be the New York Knicks to win ML and that's currently valued @ 2.80 Odds on Sportsbet.io

Jalen Brunson would need to carry a lot of work load and heavy lifting, if they're going to end the series tonight, because of how they've been dismantled in game 3 and 4 at Indianapolis.

I'm liking Denver myself tonight. If they can hold Anthony Edwards under 20 again it's over. Jokic showed why he is the MVP in game 5, now he smells blood. GG Twolves.

I don't know.  Anthony Edwards said, "see you in game 7" after the last game.  I think he's dead set on willing his team to the next round and passed the defending champions.  That's how I bet anyway.  However, that bet seemed a little boring so I thought I'd spruce it up a bit by making an interesting parlay.  So I found an international squash match and bet on Ali Farag to win.  This makes the odds a little more palatable while adding a bit of intrigue.  Stupid?  Maybe.  Time will tell.
