Game 3 odds is quite interesting for the Cavaliers, they are given +7.5 at home after winning, damn, I think I like to take that without a doubt.

Sure that's very attractive as they never loss at home yet in the playoffs. And there's a possibility that Allen will return in game 3, but it's not necessary as they beat the Celtics already without him. They played great defense and the teamwork was there.

Actually, aside from Cavaliers moneyline, or the handicap if you want a bit safer, I also like to bet on the Team total for the Cavaliers, it should be over now at over 102.5.

Anyway, before that, there are two upcoming games.

Knicks vs Pacers game 3 (no OG) and Minny vs Nuggets..

Donovan Mitchell managed to get 29 pts and 5-7 3 pointers from what I recall.
I too had the Celtics on my betslip so literally tuned out once they were down by double digits early in the 4th quarter.
Now only have the Pacers and Timberwolves to look forward too for tonight before the weekend comes.

I guess after game 1 most of us think that the Celtics will manage to beat the Cavaliers and probably sweep them, but it was a different story came in game 2 as the Cavaliers have dominated the home team. This isn't the same team they face in the first round where their main player was out, we are talking of the cavaliers with a complete line up.

My pick = Pacers ML @2.55. - Loss! Crap! I have been on a losing streak for the past few days. I thought they could win it after making that 12-point lead but they cannot protect it and the Villanova Boys are just too energetic.
Haliburton tried and he is doing some volume shots now unlike in Game 1 where he only shoots 6 times in a game. Still, he badly needs some help on the offensive end. Their defense is great, especially TJ McConnell against Jalen Brunson. It got me curious why he was benched on crunch time.

Anyway, we have two games later. Here are my picks.

Boston Celtics - Cleveland Cavaliers - Cleveland Cavaliers (11.5) Adjustments will happen and I think Allen is ready to play again. We will see. It will be a great addition to their offense and defense underneath the rim.

Oklahoma City Thunder - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks ML @2.65 - I will not give up on the thought that the Mavs will steal one game from OKC's home. Game 2, adjustments. I know Coach Kidd is good at reading the floor, he did it against the Clippers.

Looks like both your bets finally hit!
So congrats as the dogs were out last night dealing a massive blow to the egos of the hometown crowds in both matches.
Boston game was a complete joke. Believe it ended with them being outscored by nearly 20+ points once everything was said and done. So I didn't even bother watching the last game with the Thunder.
And glad I didn't because the Mavs handed their asses to them in that one, so I didn't miss any sleep on that one either.

Another win, home teams really are racking in the playoffs so it's hard to go against the trend. I thought the Pacers would beat the home team when Brunson went to the locker room after a possible injury, but man he's really tough, he came back and lead the team even losing OG in that game due to an injury (which will possibly made him unavailable in game 3).

Yeah, that game was a rollercoaster, I thought the Pacers would continue to pull away once the third quarter started, but Brunson and the Knicks quickly brought it back in the third quarter.

I'll keep rolling the same bets for the Celtics game and better go with the same strategy when it's working since the previous series. I can't find the first-half team total market, so the first-half handicap should be fine. I doubt any adjustment is enough for the Cavs to make this more competitive.

Edit: My bet lost as the Celtics finally got that off day while the Cavs popped off hitting at least half of their three-point shots.

So we have two upcoming games, first one is game 1 and the 2nd is game 2 of the Nuggets vs Wolves.

I have the Pacers at +6.(win) I think the Knicks are to overrated because they beat the Sixers, but I think game one is going to be close and I would even bet on the moneyline for Pacers if I have a little extra.

2nd game I have the Nuggets -5.5. - loss

They can't loss this game, so I expect them to start strong and beat the Wolves by double digits. It doesn't matter how they played in game 1, all they need is a good adjustment, win game 2 and take game 3.

\\ Updated record 12(W)-15(L)..... 44%

Moving on to the upcoming games...

Cleveland is not really a bad team but in the first game they loss via blowout. Now in game 2, I think they are ready to make the series interesting, so I expect the game to be a close one, and with that said, I'm taking the handicap +13.5.

2nd game, I have the Dallas Mavericks +5

Great catch OP congrats as both handicap manage to cover what more if you place a ML for both teams and parlay the bet, that's something huge for sure, but still a good win as both teams performsso well especially the Cavs who mostly not being anticipated that they'll be able to take a game from Boston and win it with a very decent edge.

While with Mavs, experienced played so well, as Luka take things on his shoulders even almost got that injury but managed to keep going and really help the team to win this one against the Thunder.

∆ Celtics ML / D. Mitchell 25+ points / D. White 2+ 3pts @1.75 ∆ X

Despite the loss, D. Mitchell had a terrific Game 1. His usage rate has been off the charts the last couple of games, near 40%. 25+ points in four straight playoff games. I can see him balling out again, regardless of how slim their chances of an upset are.

D. White leads the Celtics in 3PA and 3P% six games into the playoffs, and he gets the easiest matchup possible on offense in Garland. 7 out of 12 in Game 1.

∆ Celtics ML / Kornet 4+ rebounds / P. Pritchard 5+ pts @1.75 ∆ X

Kornet with 20 reb chances and 10 boards in just 20 minutes off the bench in Game 1. His minutes seem secure with Porzingis out, there's also the possibility Boston running away with the score early and him playing extended minutes in the 4th Q. Cavs without Allen have no chance on the boards, got outrebounded by 17.

Pritchard with 16 points off the bench, Cavs were abymsal guarding the 3pt, which resulted in Celtics having so many wide-open 3s. He should be good for a few points, 5+ pts a joke really.

1-1 last night. The fellas covered against the Pacers after an injury scare with JB. The injury for a quarter and a half killed my JB points over 37.5. Dude racked up 24 points in the second half but too much time off. Tonight playing it simple

Loading up on Celtics-12.5. This should be a snooz fest until they go on the road.

Not touching the mavs game. Just gonna sit back and enjoy the game no matter who wins.

Good luck and enjoy the games everyone

Probably not my wisest bet so I can't say I recommend following this one, but I feel like the Cavs aren't going to lose by more than 15 and the Mavericks I think can also keep the game within 7 points. I guess we'll see... Boston was on fire last game and I still don't know how the Thunder beat the Mavericks... So who knows, maybe this one will pay out. I feel like I need a long odds winner after a couple back to back losses.

Boston Celtics - Cleveland Cavaliers
Handicap (Incl. Overtime)
Cleveland Cavaliers (15.5)

Oklahoma City Thunder - Dallas Mavericks
Handicap (Incl. Overtime)
Dallas Mavericks (7.5)

Odds
2.84

We have the same pick but now I have lower odds. The odds have changed I think, from 2.84 to 2.4 right now. For me, it is a wise and safe bet I believe. There will surely be some adjustments for the away teams to get close the score. They might not win today's game, but I think it's going to be a crucial match. If it's the moneyline, I would pick Celtics & OKC. Surely, both games will end 2-0. Goodluck to our picks 👀

Just the same odds I took just now. OKC did dominate the mavs, but this is game 2 and sure there's a big adjustment that will be made by Jason Kidd. I'm thinking of betting on the mavs championship odds in case they loss in game 2, and the odds will certainly increase. Also, just recently bet on the Indiana pacers to win the championship with x75 odds, and currently the Mavs are x17, but if they lose tomorrow, they'll be like x20 or 30.

I got my bet live after the firs half, I had -7 Pacers, damn, wrong move.

Maybe you thought that Brunson is not coming back, I would say it was the right bet, you got confidence betting on the road team with that -7 spread. Unfortunately, Knicks is not a kind of team that easily give up, you see they loss OG and yet they still know how to win games. As per stats, Knicks are good in winning games when the game is close, and that's what happen in that game after the Knicks run. IMO, if the Pacers want to win in game 3, they should dominate the Knicks and don't allow them to come back.

Knicks -4.5 yeah I know it's been tight all playoffs but I have to believe in the fellas. And as a smaller side bet over on jalen brunson points. It's sitting at 37.5 which is wild. It seems like an under bait so I will take the opposite. Pacers defense sucks and JB averaging almost 30 fga and 11 ft attempts per game. Gimme the point God for the over.

I have to trust the Knicks today as well, I still can't count out the Pacers from keeping this a close game, so i'm only betting on their match-winner.

After watching the first game, the Pacers had a lot of players who could keep their offense rolling, and it almost made me want to take their spread.

The over should be easy like the last game, and I also placed a small bet since the Pacers won't be slowing down anytime soon when they have that many players that can score while the Knicks mostly rely on their starters.

Another win, home teams really are racking in the playoffs so it's hard to go against the trend.

I didn't bet on the moneyline or point spread odds for tonight game. I just went for player props bet builder. I'm not sure who will win between the Knicks vs Pacers, but I still think it's the Knicks. So, this is my bet builder instead. I believe that this series will go to Game 7. I also believe that the Knicks will win, so I expect the series score to be 4-3 in favor of New York Knicks. GL everyone!

I'm going the opposite I'm taking the under on this game. I think the cavs will struggle to score on the road and are completely dependent on spida who is hit or miss. I got the Celtics in a 108-93 win tonight. Also taking the Celtics line tonight. Cavs struggled against a very inexperienced young orlando team Celtics shoukd take them to town.

What was the line for the under/over? I do hope you cashed on the under since the shooting performance of these two teams was all over the place. In the first quarter, they dropped 74 points then barely put up 34 points in the second quarter, and i'm glad they secured my over before they started bricking in the last few minutes. The same thing happened in the second half and earlier, I noticed the over bettors getting tilted by the state of the game.

Honestly lost the under by a .5 point lol. But I nailed the Celtics spread and had more money on that so all good. Tonight is an easy one for me. Knicks -4.5 yeah I know it's been tight all playoffs but I have to believe in the fellas. And as a smaller side bet over on jalen brunson points. It's sitting at 37.5 which is wild.

I said I wasn't going to bet any games or watch them today because I don't really care about the series between the Pacers and the Knicks. That being said, I had to toss something at the game just to make it a little interesting. This is a crazy bet that makes no sense in almost any scenario, but I'm taking it because why not. The Pacers to win by between 1-5 points. I don't think I've ever made a prediction like that before, so I'm sure it's a loser, but for entertainment purposes it should be useful.

Boston Celtics - Cleveland Cavaliers - Boston Celtics (-10.5) - Won! -10 worked out just fine. I thought the game will be close but it's only for the first half of the game until the Celtics found their rhythm especially Derrick White. They need him to help in their offense while Porzingis is still out.
Oklahoma City Thunder - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks ML @2.44 - Loss! Well, OKC proved how strong they are but I did love the physicality and the battle inside the paint where Gafford and Holmgren are not letting it easy for anyone to shoot. Both teams have many weapons, let's see the Mavs adjustments in Game 2.

Later, New York Knicks versus Indiana Pacers Game 2. My pick = Pacers ML @2.55. They've done well in Game 1 and they just made some mistakes but they can definitely win.

Good luck everyone.

It was a complete dominance from Celtics, I think everyone should have expected this, at least for the game 1 with how exhausting the last series was for the Cavaliers and how much time the Celtics have had to prepare themselves for this game, that still is inexcusable for Cavaliers losing that much in a second round playoffs. They should be able to get some adjustments done before the second game and maybe Jarrett Allen would be back by then, they really could use his service right now.

Jason Tatum to the rescue for me, I had him on 10+ Rebounds @ 2.00 Odds.
