∆ B. Adebayo 4+ assists / D. DeRozan 4+ assists @1.66 ∆ won
Bulls/Heat rematch of last year's play-in elimination game...hard to believe Heat made it all the way to the Finals later that year. I think the Bulls will get revenge today and make their way to the playoffs.
I have Bam and DeRozan's assists. The Heat are without Butler and Rozier, which means they are missing two playmakers. Bam's playmaking duties should see an increase, as the Heat have plenty of catch-and-shoot guys on the team who can benefit from his vision and playmaking abilities. Bam has 4+ assists in both regular-season games against the Bulls this season.
DeRozan led the Bulls with 9 assists (out of 13 potential assists) against the Hawks. Both Caruso and Ayo are banged up. I wouldn't be surprised if he, C. White, and Vucevic all play close to 40 minutes again. DeRozan has gone 4+ assists in all 4 games against the Heat this season.

That's what will happen if the Lakers wins the game 1 but it's Nuggets and it is on shape and prime, to be honest.
But we'll see, as both teams are changing on these kinds of do or die matches.

I thought you are a Laker fan? you should believe on them, don't base on the past as this could be different now. The lakers and Nuggets will still face anyway if they'll not meet in the first round, but this is a 7 game series, a lot of adjustments will happen here and the Lakers have better chemistry this season compared to the last time.
Don't think the the Lakers will lose, they'll compete with the Nuggets as it's the legacy of Lebron is at stake here.
Just calm down, maybe bet on them in game 1, who knows upset could happen.
But do you remember what happened last season? They've been swept, it's okay to be a fan but you should also embrace reality.
Well, you're right. We should believe on them and it's not really crucial to me and it's up to them if they've got some better plans today based on what happened in the past.
Good luck to them.
Yup, there's a big difference with the current lineup compared to who they've got last season, though Jimmy, Bam and Herro still rotates the same system but that 3-points productions with Duncan, Gabe and Max that's really works well with how they rotate the ball, and with that last season squad, the confidence is something that blends them well.
Though not done yet for the Miami as they can extend their campaign if they manage to beat the Bulls and who knows, if they managed to upset the Celtics last season we might see another one, though that chance is really slim as Boston's squad improves a lot and with how Tatum and Brown leads the offense, it's really a different competition in case Miami move up for the final birth for the east playoff.

I think they can beat Bulls tomorrow, They almost beat complete line-up sixers even with their incomplete roster while Chicago is much manageable to beat than Sixers that just beat them on a very close game.
Clutch Jimmy Buckets can easily dominate team like Bulls. My concern for them is when they are against team like Boston and Bucks with their current line-up with lack of fire power on 3 points.
My prediction for Tomorrow is Pelicans and Heat will claim the last spot on Playoffs.
They need to work things together to fill that last spot, not sure if what and how the Buĺls will try to upset them but it's the last game for both of them if whoever lose the game, everything will be showcase here, though Miami still got the slight favorite as you mentioned they almost upset the Sixers which is much stronger than the Bulls and maybe with that same system that they are working they can achieved winning their last game.
In west side, I also see the advantages of Kings against the Zion-Less NP, though CJ and Ingram might bring the spark but knowing how Kings playing the game, they blend so well which is a good advantage against NP.
Here we go! The battle for the 8th spot of both East and West.
7:00 AM GMT +8 I will probably watch this halftime or if I wake up earlier I can watch it full.
Miami Heat - Chicago Bulls - Miami Heat (-1.5)
Last time I bet for the Bulls, this time I bet for the Heat. I don't trust the Bulls when it comes to defeating a stronger team against them and I bet the Miami Heat is so frustrated after their loss against the 76ers, it was a close game though but that loss could spark things up.
9:30 AM GMT +8
New Orleans Pelicans - Sacramento Kings - Sacramento Kings ML
The Pelicans will be Zion-less so this will be a big minus for them on the offensive end. Brandon Ingram will probably step up his game but the Kings have Sabonis, Fox, and Keegan. They were not lucky in winning against the Warriors, they just played efficiently on both ends of the floor.

Yeah, I think if Zion is not going to play, Sacramento got the edge and so that bet is good and I was also go that route as they are now the favorite in that game. Pels are at 1.99 and that is a long shot already.
This is the problem of Zion and I think that he's never going to get a title if he's always too prone to injuries unless he teams up with some good players out there that can truly carry a team.Zion Williamson injury: Pelicans star out for Play-In game vs. Kings with hamstring strain
Ingram and CJ should play harder to win, they are at their home court, they are in advantage so I trust them even without Zion the Lion.
As a Lakers fan, I'm sad that my confidence is quite low if it's against Joker's gang.
They need to prove first, maybe the spread or the odds will change if they'll upset the Nuggets in game 1.
A high handicap against a popular team is an indication that the Nuggets are really the better team than the Lakers.

No games today sadly, so we can all prepare for tomorrow's halving event. 
Still, I couldn't resist getting a bet in for tomorrow. I know, I know... The Kings are 0-5 against the Pelicans this year, they're playing in New Orleans and are also given odds. Probably should think this is a terrible bet but I don't at all. Granted I'm a hometown Sacramento boy, but there's absolutely no way the Kings lose this game and I'm betting on it.

Los Angeles vs Denver Nuggets - the Lakers are a huge underdog in game 1.
While the Clippers and the Mavs are almost even at this point.
I'm taking the Mavericks in game one. I think Luka and kyrie are built for road game villains. If one is having an off night the other can drop 40. I'm not touching the Pelicans game, even without zion I still think they got a decent shot against sacramento. Ingram can be an alpha whenever he wants and he shoukd show up huge in that game tomorrow.
Yes, I would agree about the Mavericks are built for road games. And even if Clippers had good players and potential HOF, Luka alone is very hard to contained even if PG will be the one taking the job of guarding Luka.
And we all know that great players rises to the occasion specially in playoff. And with the way Luka is playing, at any night he can drop 40 and still have the energy to toy with the Clippers. Not sure who's going to be the main trash talker in the side of Clippers though, as Luka again thrive in this kind of situation and wanted to have some kind of mental games like he did with Phoenix and Booker like in the last two seasons.
One more chance for Miami to move forward for the playoffs they just need to win the game against the Bulls, then let see if they can pull another upset if they face the Celtics.
What happened last year to Miami Heat in their playoff run seems unlikely to happen again, especially if they'll face the Celtics in the first round. If they were play against the Bucks again in 1st round it might be possible since the Bucks seems shaky now. But if the Heat make it to the playoffs in the first round and beat the Celtics what happened last season could happen again. Because I think if they can beat the Celtics it'll be easy for them to defeat the teams in Semi and Conference Finals.
Miami already gives up most of their core players back then that contributes a lot with their good run like Gabe Vincent and Max Struss while Duncan Robinson is still injured. Miami Heat current roster even with Herro coming is not the same with their sharp 3 pointers back then during clutch. This is the reason why they beat Boston and Bucks back then even though they seem an underdog with their line-up.
Clutch Jimmy Butler and Adebayo is not enough to do a miracle run like what they did last year since their 3 points shot is their main weapon back then to kill this monster team that is so good on paint.

We have no games later.
Here are the results of my previous bets and a bonus.
Philadelphia 76ers - Miami Heat - Miami Heat ML @2.75 Loss! - What a mess! Miami had the lead and a big one in the first half. But Embiid, oh damn Embiid. Then Batum, well, he is known for his great defensive plays and he did it again this time to help the 76ers win! A wild ending, a must-watch! Butler, I think he didn't touch the ball for the last three minutes of the game.
Chicago Bulls - Atlanta Hawks - Chicago Bulls (-1.5) Win! Defense is what made this team win and I love watching them when they do that. Sure, they have one of the best offensive weapons in DeRozan but they cannot just rely on that, defense is what makes them win games.
Won the over parlay! Yey! I don't know, it's just instincts maybe.
Tomorrow are the final games in the play-in tournament. Any predictions? The odds are not far. There are no super favorites so it's going to be hard to predict the winner.

That's a very tough assignment for the Miami Heat but they have done this before, so this is like a rematch of the last season's play-in. FYI, Miami won that battle and goes up to the Finals, they have an unbelievable run that time, let's see if they can copy that and it should start by beating the Bulls.
Betting spread is now available, Miami is -2.5 at home, while on the other match up, Pelicans is +1.5 at home, that line simply indicates that Zion is out.
I'm gonna skip the 2nd game.. I'll stick with the firt game, I'm talking of taking the Heat big, ML bet here.
I was excited by the end of the first half because Miami had a double digit lead, I said to myself, this is easy, no way the Sixers will be able to come back when Embiid ain't playing like he used to. But damn boy, I was wrong, Sixes dominated the 2nd half and Miami were unable to respond on their big run.
Congrats to Miami Backers, still they win their bet if they book the point spread as it was +5.5, game ended up the Sixes winning by 1.
Yeah, for those who took that handicap for Miami they made it and enjoy that winnings though it's almost a win for those who took the ML just a single point away from winning your bets, but that's how gambling works win or lose just needed to move forward and accept the outcome of the game.

I'm on the same page, I always trust the Miami heat, so I thought they could win and was confident after the first half. But the home team aren't going anywhere, they were playing great especially Batum who had an outstanding game on both ends. That 3 point shots of Batum could have hurt the momentum of the Miami Heat, so I'd say he was a good pick up for the team.
Embiid obviously is not 100% yet, but he contributed when it matters most, so as he stay playing for the team, he will get healthier and will eventually back to his old-self.
