Lakers -1 WIN
They just won and dominated the Pelicans, they should be able to do it again.

Warriors -2 LOSS
Hopefully Curry will play, but regardless, I think the Warriors are more experience so they'll get this win.

Updated record 1(W)-1(L)..... 50%

The Lakers pick was so easy, I didn't even sweat watching the game although it was close at some point. But man, the Warriors vs Kings, that was a big disappoinment and I believe that the Warriors are done, they need to rebuild.

Moving on the coming games, there will be a one day rest before that but I have my early picks.

1- Miami Heat

2-Pelicans.

I will be updating the spread once it's out and the reason why I choose theses teams.

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.

I'm locking my bet on the Sixers' handicap, this would be one of the few times I have to fade the Heat because i'd always put the Sixers on a higher level if they have Embiid.

The Heat after trailing for majority of the first quarter takes a point lead to end the quarter.

Embiid looks to be good so far in the game, and Kyle Lowry is also with good energy in the first Q along side Tyrese Maxey, I'll say I like your choice with how the game have been so far.

Today I was really looking forward for the win of Heat as they are good to handle Sixers in this game but sadly again fail to do things on right time now as I check scorecard feeling bad with Heat is leading by 12 points at the end of the half-time which is impressive from them and now look like they are going to hold this all for the rest of the game as well.
After the end of the first quarter Heat were leading 22 to 23 and at the end of the second quarter they have 17 to 28 total 39 to 51.

Also took the Sacramento Kings over the Golden State Warriors last night and it was a blow out game.
Where Klay didn't have any points and went 0 for 10 while on the court for 32 minutes.

The Warriors still made it close by the end of the first half cutting the lead from a double-digit down to four points, but the Kings got back in the driver's seat once the third quarter started. It's rare to see Klay lose his rhythm and I guess the Kings got to him since they're so active on both ends.

Taking the live bet pelicans for the win. I know lebron and AD and all that but Pelicans at home and if the Lakers lose they move out from having to deal with Denver until at least the western conference finals. They are gonna push but if pels are up late I can see the Lakers letting this one go. It's gonna be a good game either way but the money is right

Pelicans were able to have a big run, it's just unfortunate that Zion was injured and that give the Lakers a chance to attack and win. It could go either way but Lakers got lucky here. Now, they have to face the Denver Nuggets again which is way better than the Pelicans, I hope this would not be a repeat of the last season playoffs.

Yeah it's unfortunate because they made a nice run there. I don't think zion will ever be able to avoid injuries. The kid is amazing when he is on the court but at his size it just doesn't seem like it can handle the rigors of playing 82 games plus playoffs every year. Hopefully he will be OK in the play in because I'm rooting for them.

The playoffs are officially kicking off today. Exciting as this is my favorite time of year. Swimming and good basketball every day.

This first game probably isn't the most exciting of the playoffs, but Miami has a history of coming alive in the playoffs so we'll see. Personally, I think the Heat haven't been playing well lately while the Philadelphia 76ers have looked excellent since Embiid's return from injury. So I'm giving them the nod today. I'm staying away from the Hawks vs Bulls series because I think they've both been playing poorly and I have no idea which way that series will go.

Damn it! Lost both my bets.

Klay Thompson 0 points? What the f***! Did he sell the game? Steph Curry was 5 points in the first half but he came back in the 2nd half until the Kings were putting a gap against them.

LA Lakers on the other hand showed their strength. Damn Lebron James is like not getting old at all. He may be drinking from the fountain of youth. Grin

A bit sad that Zion went out and didn't come back, it could've been a great 3 minutes battle for both monsters.

Anyway, now let's go East.

Philadelphia 76ers - Miami Heat - Miami Heat ML @2.75 - Yes, I am going for the underdog. My instinct is telling me that the Miami Heat will do it again. I hope so. The spreads are high, you can also add a "+" if you think they will not win and end up in a close fight.
Chicago Bulls - Atlanta Hawks - Chicago Bulls (-1.5) - I didn't trust the Bulls during the season but I think I will today especially now that the playoffs are on the line.

Good luck everyone! Have a nice day!

I think there are bettors who parlayed the Lakers + Warriors... These two were favorites to win but it's a fail on the Warriors.

Curry could not carry the team anymore, it used to be Splash Brothers but his bro wasn't playing his best, or safe to say playing his worst.
yeah, Thompson who is expected to come up big were scoreless, honestly I didn't expect that but I've seen hime on/off in the regular season, it's just too bad the off happened in a do or die game.

I think the Warriors "Die-nasty" is over now.

_____________

Anyway, tomorrow we will witness another do or die game.

Sixers vs Heat +5.5

Hawks vs Bulls -3...

I'm also betting on the same teams (Lakers and Warriors), it's unusual to see the Lakers as a slight underdog, and i'd rather take them to win than bet against them. The Pelicans almost have an even record at home so there's little to no home advantage if you look at it the other way.

Plus, the experience of these two teams is a big factor that could easily decide who gets to qualify since we've seen inexperienced teams crumble in these crucial moments.

I took the Lakers at slightly better odds @1.98x and it was mostly this the better part of the day when I checked the lines closer to tip-off.
Difference is slight but matters when placing bigger sized bet it looks better with that lil bit extra sprinkled on top. Makes that win all that much sweeter too.
The tide did turn as the above user mentioned when Zion Williamson had his 40 points highest on the season and pulled up after the basket asking to be taken out of the game in the last minutes of the game.
He ended up in the locker room and under evaluation last I heard.

Also took the Sacramento Kings over the Golden State Warriors last night and it was a blow out game.
Where Klay didn't have any points and went 0 for 10 while on the court for 32 minutes.

This is especially unheard of by a player such as him in a game with such gravitas to put it lightly.

New Orleans Pelicans vs Los Angeles Lakers
The winner of this game will get a playoff visa and will play the Denver Nuggets. The loser will have another chance, playing either the Golden State Warriors or the Sacramento Kings. The winner of the last match between the two teams, LA Lakers, has the psychological advantage and will start the game one step ahead. However, I can say that the New Orleans Pelicans will learn from the defeat and with the support of their fans, they will resist to win this game. The New Orleans Pelicans have a good chance to win this game if they maximize their team defense and stop the Lakers stars. CJ McCollum also needs to maximize his scoring contribution. New Orleans Pelicans will show themselves in this game. I think it will be a fast paced game and we could see high scores like in the last three games between the two teams.

I'm going with the Los Angeles Lakers today over the New Orleans Pelicans. I think when it comes down to it, LeBron is still the best player in the world. He just has to use his energy wisely. I think today will be a repeat of their last game and LeBron will dominate. We'll see...

Sacramento Kings - Golden State Warriors - Golden State Warriors (-1.5) Well, experience-wise, the Warriors might win this again just like what happened last season when they were beaten by the Warriors.

I was tempted to add the Warriors win to this bet because I think have been playing great while the Kings have struggled a bit lately, but the Kings handled them last year and now the Warriors are a year older and the Kings have gotten a year more of experience. Both of those things go against the Warriors. So I decided not to bet on the game. I really think it could go either way and maybe it being a single game instead of a series might favor the Warriors.

I will also go with the Warriors against the Kings, -2.5 @1.84. I do agree that the Warriors are a aging champion, but they could still have one final push with them. Last chance for CP3 to at least to go another playoff in his career.

And for the Pels against the Lakers, that's unpredictable, and the last time I check on one sport bookies, they were even, meaning, bettors are divided as who will win or the game is very hard to foresee.

That was a good day.
Later, play-in tournament. This will have the feel of the playoffs when they play.
Here are my picks.

Warriors -2
Hopefully Curry will play, but regardless, I think the Warriors are more experience so they'll get this win.

I don't think he will miss this opportunity to play, this is a do or die game, a loss would mean the end of their season, Curry don't think like that because he is a champion. So even if it's not yet confirm that he will play, but he is not listed as unavalilable too, so let's be optimistic that he will play.

This is a good match up, last time they meet in a very important game was in the playoffs, there was a game 7 and the Warriors won, but this time, it's just one game and they should give their 100% as there's no tomorrow.

Let's go with the last schedule of games in the season.

Pelicans -4. loss
Both teams need a win for their ranking, it's more important for the Lakers but I could not fade a team that is on a winning streak.

Rockets -3. win
This will be a giveaway by the Clippers their starters might be preparing for the playoffs and will just let their bench players to play.

Warriors -8. loss
This is a must win for them, I think it's a good bounce back game with a double digit win. So Warriors all the way.

Updated record 61(W)-60(L)..... 50% REGULAR SEASON WIN RATE RECORD>
This is the result of my result season betting. Now that it's over, I'm closing this and would start a new record for the playoffs (that includes the play-in).

More exciting games coming ahead as we have arrive to the best part of the season. So I'm hoping you guys will have a profitable betting journey.
As for the first 2 play-in games, here's my prediction.

Lakers -1
They just won and dominated the Pelicans, they should be able to do it again.

Warriors -2
Hopefully Curry will play, but regardless, I think the Warriors are more experience so they'll get this win.

I'm not gonna lie, this bet doesn't have the greatest odds of winning... However, I think it is also extremely more likely to hit than once out of 176 times, so this is another bet against the odds because the odds are wrong.

Sure, it's throwing money away, but if this hits it will be probably my most exciting gambling win ever. Worth the cost of admission to take this ride today.
