Miami +10.5 loss.. Last game was a blowout win by the Celtics, just like in game 1, I like to see the Miami Heat making adjustment in game 4. I'm hoping it will be a close game so the Heat loss, they can cover with their high handicap.

Nuggets -7.5 loss
This is a no brainer, a close out game for the Nuggets, they should give everything here as they can't afford to take this series back to LA where the pressure could be higher.

Pelicans +4.5 loss
For the last time, I like to see them having a competitive game like they did in game 1.

Updated record 8(W)-13(L)..... 38%

Same result a day before, still 0-3.

Let's break that losing streak.

Magic -4, I'm following the same pattern, both teams are good at their home court, so the Magic should be able to tie the series and cover the spread.

Dallas -8 .  last game they beat the Clippers by 30 points, I'm seeing the same scenario, Dallas will be starting strong as they need to finish the series here.

I have the Magic at -3.5 at their home court, and they are a good home team, so it's a good chance that they will tie the series.

Will likely just watch the Dallas vs Clippers game.

Same with you mate. One of the Cavaliers best players Allen is probably not gonna play, so the Magic should win here.
Judging on the last 2 games on the same venue, Magic manage to beat the cavaliers via double digit, they should be able to do it again in a do or die game.


And I do agree that the Sixers and Bucks early exit are unexpected, but what can they do when Giannis and Dame got injured, and so is Joel Embiid. They have a good season, but the injuries though, oh well tough luck for them this season.

I expected the Bucks will exit the moment Giannis was announced he'll not play, but the Sixers, nah, I thought they have a great chance of winning even if Embiid is not 100%, but they loss at their homecourt, and no game 7, but that's alright, aat least they fought, especially Embiid who played despite of the injury.

It’s impressive how Middleton and Portis carry the bucks against Pacers with their current roster. I’m not trying to give a bad omen here but it’s very hard to think that they can carry Bucks to reverse the series since Pacers coach might probably already think about counter measure for the Bucks since they are readable due to lack of players.

Honestly, I want Bucks to advance on this series since Giannis and Dame is almost close to returning if ever they can survive this series. But with current line-up of Bucks, it’s dumb for Pacers coach to not kill them while Bucks is still weak. Pacers has the capability to end the series if they will just break the game of Middleton which is known for being inconsistent in playoffs.

Anyway GL with your bet.

As expected, Bucks can’t stop the elimination even with Dame back with their roster since Middleton can’t perform the same big game that he had during the previous game when they won. Probably he was intimidated on Dame presence since he get less ball time compared when he and Portis are the only scorer.

Sad to see that Bucks and Phila early exit on this playoffs just their Big man can’t perform properly/absent on the game. All the efforts that they put just to be on playoffs just wasted due to bullshit injury.

Congrats with your good pick, I guess if Orlando will manage to win their upcoming game and extend the series to a do-or-die game it will be a good long rest for Boston.
Thanks, and yeah they made it look easy throughout the game by winning every quarter against the Heat.

It's nice that most of us are on the Pacers to close out the series and cover the spread. There's no way the Pacers will play that sloppy again, and it'll take some insane luck for the Bucks to shoot above 50% for two games in a row.



And double loaded up on the under in the Knicks game.  Under 201.5.  This series has been hard fought every game and this should be no.different.  slow drawn out game with tight defense every play.
BOL on the Sixers/Knicks under. I also think it should hit since it's an elimination game, and both teams can't afford to make many mistakes in today's game.

Haven't had that good a run so far so looking for a breakout day here.  Bet all 3 remaining games I didn't touch that cavs game.  Can't figure them out.

Pelicans +1.5, shoukd be a close game tie goes to the home team.  Okc is young amd this might be a tough one

Heat +10.5, they showed last game they are here to play.  Being underdogs by double digits as the home team doesn't sit well with me.  Gimme the heat.

Heat/Celtics over 204.5. I know the unders have hit hard but I think the Celtics score enough to push the heat to push the pace.

Good luck and enjoy the games!

Dam another 0-3 night I'm getting torched these playoffs lol.  So why not 3 more bets lol.

Taking the home Pacers-10.5 with no Dame and no giannis.  I think they will be rudderless and with haliburton he will control the tempo.

Suns -1.5 just like the Lakers think back against the wall they squeeze one out, they have to right? 

Also taking over 213.5.  I think it will be a frenetic pace, and at the end if it's close lots of foul shots.  Can see a 115-110 type of game.

Enjoy the rest of the games and good luck

Finally a positive bet day.  Went 2-1 still need a full night sweep here.  Got 3 in so far here they are:

Knicks -4.5, should be another tight game but with the series on the line if they are up in the 4th I expect 76ers to reach on defense opening up foul shots and easy buckets if they can convert.  Close the series out!

Knicks 76ers under 203.5. Can easily see another drawn out physical low scoring game.  102-95 Knicks win tonight

Orlando +5.5 at the cavs.  Yeah they are away but I think they got the cavs shook right now.  Gimme the streaking team.

Enjoy the games and go knicks!!

Brutal in more ways than 1.  Shoukd have gone 3-0 but the knciks completely and utterly collapsed in the last 30 seconds.  Brutal as a gambler and a knick fan.  I'm sick but hey ho here is another day.  Got 2 picks in and calling it a day:

Boston -13.5 they smell blood and they close the series out at home.  This should be a tough one even though they lost kp for some time. 

Clippers +3.5 I like Dallas here but giving points to the road team seems crazy, gimme the home team here.

Good luck and enjoy the games

Shoukd have taken Dallas lol.  Well a split isn't so bad.  Tonight I got in 3 bets

Pacers -6.5 I think they wrap it up at home with the hurting bucks.

Knicks +3.5 again it shoudk be a dogfight but I like the Knicks chances.

And double loaded up on the under in the Knicks game.  Under 201.5.  This series has been hard fought every game and this should be no.different.  slow drawn out game with tight defense every play.

Good luck tonight and go knicks!

A new multi-bet for today's NBA playoff action.  While I think there's a good chance the Bucks lose tonight without their stars, I'm giving them the +7.5 to at least make it close.  This bet worries me a little because teams have a tendency to give up and get slaughtered when their season is over, so I wouldn't be shocked if the Bucks lost by 30 tonight.  We'll see...  A similar story for the 76ers, but I think they're going to be able to pull out another victory and take this series to 7.

Indiana Pacers - Milwaukee Bucks
Handicap (Incl. Overtime)
Milwaukee Bucks (7.5)

Philadelphia 76ers - New York Knicks

Boston Celtics - Miami Heat - Miami Heat (15.5) Loss!
Los Angeles Clippers - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks (-1.5) Win!

After I lost my bet on the Miami Heat, I thought about chasing my losses in a different way, I was lucky.

I added one more bet for the Mavs and the Over. Thankfully, the garbage time was so good and Jaden Hardy was on fire getting all those 14 points in garbage time and the Clippers bench was answering back.

Great snatch from the Mavs. Luka was on fire while Kyrie was focused on defense. They can now end it in Game 6 at their homecourt.

Later, 2 games. Here are my picks.
Indiana Pacers - Milwaukee Bucks - Indiana Pacers (-5.5)
Philadelphia 76ers - New York Knicks - New York Knicks ML

Good luck with your bets everyone!

I can't decide which team to pick for tonight's games because I think the matches will be crucial. It's just Game 6 anyway. So, I just did a bet builder instead. But if you ask me who will win I think it will be the Milwaukee Bucks and the New York Knicks. Might be the end for the 76ers & Milwaukee Bucks. But I still believe even without Giannis & Dame I think Bucks can manage to win this series. Here's my bet builder player props

I guess if Orlando will manage to win their upcoming game and extend the series to a do-or-die game it will be a good long rest for Boston.

Good rest indeed, but I don't think the Miami Heat series took any significant toll on them enough to wear them out or exhaust them if the Magic vs Cleveland series doesn't get extended, I don't know if I'm reading too much into Celtics ball game, but then I really expect either team that make it off that series to do so better than what Miami Heat has done against this Celtics roster.
Had time away from the early match in the play-offs yesterday as I had more concerning matters to attend too.
So when had a chance to relax and rest from a frustrating long day at work, turned on the last match of the day to see the Dallas Mavericks putting a pounding on a rather distraught Los Angeles Clippers full squad still on the floor. While Doncic and all others on the Mavericks side were on the bench.
And why not with a 25+ point lead!
What an utter failure and playing at home to their own fans!
Just utter disgraceful in a play-offs game which they are now leading 3-2 and probably will take in on their homecourt in Dallas.

I'm changing it up a bit this time, instead of the first-half spread i'll go with their first-half team total since their first-half spread is close to -10 and you never know if the Heat switches to desperation mode in this elimination game.

The Celtics are already 3/4 in hitting this first-half total, and the only time they came short was during the previous road game in Miami with 53 points.



No problem with Boston they covered the spread getting 68 points in the first half making sure to established that strong leads and continue until the game ends, Miami unable to rally back as Boston always have a counter and the defense they are all present to make sure that Miami will not put that pressure again and snatch the game from them.

Congrats with your good pick, I guess if Orlando will manage to win their upcoming game and extend the series to a do-or-die game it will be a good long rest for Boston.

New York Knicks - Philadelphia 76ers - New York Knicks (-2.5) Loss!
Cleveland Cavaliers - Orlando Magic - Orlando Magic ML @2.65. Loss! So close.
Milwaukee Bucks - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers (-1.5) Loss! The Bucks surprised me there. Nice.

2 games later.
Boston Celtics - Miami Heat - Miami Heat (15.5) Like @wheelz1200 said, Celtics smell blood but I know the Heat could at least fight back. Keep the game as close as possible.
Los Angeles Clippers - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks (-1.5) The Mavs need to snatch this one if they want to end it in their home in Game 6. I am rooting for them.

Good luck guys.

J. Tatum 8+ rebounds / J. Holiday 1+ stocks / D. White 15+ PA @1.67  won

It would be a shock if the Celtics do not wrap up things today and enjoy a proper rest before the next round. CLE/ORL series is likely to see Game 7 the way it's going so far.

Tatum leads the Celtics in rebounds and reb chances, averaging 10 a game, 8+ rebounds in 4/L4.

Holiday hasn't been the most efficient at shooting the ball, but he's been rock solid on defense, which is why Boston brought him in. He leads both teams in stocks (steals + blocks) with almost 3 a game. 1+ stocks in 4/L4...i don't see why he won't get one.

Derrick White had an explosive Game 4 in Miami, scoring 38 points. It's hard to expect the same stats and performance, but he should be good for 15+ PA, that's quite a low number.  He ranks third on the team in FGA, only behind Tatum and Brown, but leads the team in FG% and 3P%. 15+ PA in 4/L4.

Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Boston Celtics

Los Angeles Clippers - Dallas Mavericks
Winner (Incl. Overtime)
Dallas Mavericks

Odds
1.86


Also on the Clippers vs Dallas, I think the home team are gonna avenge their previous loss, still no Leonard here but I like the Mavs taking the lead and finish at 6.
This is 50/50 for me, it's hard to predict especially that the Clippers are underdog after they defeated the Mavericks with the same line up. Actually, their 2 games was without Leonard, so missing Leonard in game 5 should not be a problem.

I had a tough time picking a winner for that game as well.  Ultimately it was Kawhi being out with an injury that pushed me to Dallas.  Kyrie and Luka seem to be getting the hang of playing with each other finally and they're having success.  On the other hand, Paul George and James Harden can have a good game and change the outcome on any given night, so I really think it will be a close game.  Dallas seems like they're one or two supporting pieces away from being able to make a championship run.  We'll see if they can hold their core together long enough to make it happen.

My picks would be Celtics -14 and Dallas -3.. I think this Celtics beat is easy as Celtics will make sure they'll close the series and as usual, they will start strong until they finish, so more like a 30+ in blowout.
They have been blowing out the Heat after they got upset in game 2, so in a game that they will close the series, they will play harder and better as they are on their home court. I like the pick although the spread is high, and that over 30 points win is surely possible. Like the game 3 and 4, Celtics have to start strong in the first half so the heat cannot come back anymore. I'm also excited on the game tomorrow and I'm confident in choosing the Celtics -14.

Also on the Clippers vs Dallas, I think the home team are gonna avenge their previous loss, still no Leonard here but I like the Mavs taking the lead and finish at 6.

Congrats mate, that was a great analysis as the Celtics easily beat the Miami Heat especially the first half. But even if you bet on the entire game, you will still win because the Celtics have cover +3.5 points from the -10.5 pregame point spread. I think the Miami Heat is done, they lost twice at home, so this game will be over in 5, they are still lucky to have won a single game though.

Anyway, tomorrow I'm interested on betting the Sixers vs Knicks, I think the Sixers are gonna fight for their chance in the series and will avoid to get eliminated, so it's +4.5 Sixers for me.
I appreciate the nice words and Derrick White popped off in the first half and put up almost 20 points, which helped a lot in covering the spread. I agree with you this series is most likely a wrap for the Celtics because the Heat's firepower went down by a lot without Butler.

Best of luck with your Sixers spread. I also think they could cover and likely keep this as close as possible, and it's why I went with the Knicks match-winner instead of the spread.



Edit: Congrats on your Sixers spread, and I can't believe the Knicks threw that game away as Maxey landed some insane shots in the fourth quarter to force an OT win for the Sixers.

What a game for Maxey, aiding Embiid with that back to back basket especially that long 3 that put the game into OT, that's a heroic shot coming a player who really aiming to win, I was in the impression that the game is over and you'll going to take your win, not considering those mistakes from NYK, they've got that opportunity to kill the time and win but the determination coming from Maxey extend their way to force a game 6.

A  mistake that may snatch this series away from NYK, knowing the capabilities of Sixers, if they can push this to another game and have that do-or-die game, the chance is still alive to move forward.

I was right with my pick, not only the handicap but the Sixers were able to beat the home team. I'm sticking on the same team in game 6 and if there's game 7 that will continue. How about some games tomorrow? We have the Clippers/Mavs and Celtics/Heat.

My picks would be Celtics -14 and Dallas -3.. I think this Celtics beat is easy as Celtics will make sure they'll close the series and as usual, they will start strong until they finish, so more like a 30+ in blowout. Also on the Clippers vs Dallas, I think the home team are gonna avenge their previous loss, still no Leonard here but I like the Mavs taking the lead and finish at 6.
