My bet on Jokic should be an easy hit, Jokic with a double-double already and it's still just the first quarter of the game, 3 rebounds more with 36 minutes left to play for should definitely be an easy reach for Jokic here

Not sure what game to put alongside with another playoff game will need to review my choices in another hour when my reloads come in so to place a bet for tonight.

Have you considered Tyrese Haliburton on total number of assists ? He was offered at 10.5 assists @ ~1.85+ in game 1, of course he fell 3 assist short in that game 1.

He's currently still offered over 10.5 assists @ 2.00 Odds, I like this and I believe it should be a hit, he should have easily hit the number in game 1 too, but the Pacers were extremely awful in finding the bucket in that game, while their transition offense still look pretty well like something that should give the Bucks a real run for their money in as much as they finish around the rim and convert their open look shots this time around, Hali should have no problem getting a double digit assists.

Tried to put a props bet together but it didn't work out so took the ML instead and was surprised when I checked the score late in the 4th quarter. The Pacers were ahead by 16+ points and the Bucks already had their bench on the floor while Pacers still had their starters which was strange to see.
Got them at 1.98x which was better than the over 10.5 assists for Tyrese.
There were shooting the lights out with all the three's during the game.
@ralle14 yeah without Giannis in the game Lillard had to step up and he did. Every shot was essentially going in for him while I was watching the first half.

The Bucks had a clean win in their first game, and i'll take advantage of the close odds for the second game because they still have a decent advantage with Lillard taking the lead. Even if the Pacers could improve their shooting percentage today, I still feel they'll come up short if it becomes a close game.

Did you watch the replay of Nurse wanting a timeout after the first basket went in, the ref was looking right at him but didn't give it to him. Then after the divincenzo three that made him really mad to the point he was willing to run on the court just to stop the play. Crazy last 30 seconds of the game but now Knicks are up 2-0 against the 76ers for the playoffs.

Had Jokic for only 11.5 rebounds on my props bet and that hit nearly entirely in the 1st quarter.
Had several other props but was short by 3 pointers from Reeves by 1 and Murray didn't hit one.
All other props for Jokic and Lebron hit easily.

∆ J. Hart 1+ 3pts / M. Robinson 1+ blocks @1.80 ∆ X

Game 1 of PHI/NY is arguably one of the swingiest quarter-to-quarter games i've seen in a while (1Q PHI+9, 2Q NY+21, 3Q PHI+15, 4Q NY+10).

A couple of things that stood out to me, which i want to include in my bet today. The Sixers are playing Brunson and DiVincenzo tight and giving J. Hart wide-open looks from deep, daring him to shoot like he is Ben Simmons. Lol I mean, it's not the worst strategy, Hart is only shooting 31% from three this season, you'd rather leave him open than someone else, right?

M. Robinson played 30 minutes, his most since returning from injury. Even if he continues to come off the bench, his minutes are safe, he matches up better with Embiid than Hartenstein. He had four blocks in Game 1, but it felt like it was twice as many, he was that dominant defensively.

Knicks can here and my heart stopped plenty of times last night. Nurse has a great gameplan against the Knicks in guarding brunson tight. Hart has been great to date but we need the bench to keep stepping up. Mcbride with a huge first game and bogdanovich with 2 monster 3s to start the 4th quarter last night. With that being said they didn't cover, lost money and was amped beyond belief. Your team winning > winning money

Seems Jokic is giving us easy win because he is unstoppable, the only way the Lakers could win if they have a good shooting which they showed in game 2 but just fall short in the end. Jokic ended with triple double record, (27, 20, 10), insane numbers, it should be a another history for him I guess. Anyway congratulations mate.

All the games last night had the hometeams won their respective games, so it's 2-0 for all of them.

Now, we will have 3 games

Suns vs Wolves -3
Pacers vs Bucks -1
Dallas vs Clippers +2.5

I think betting on the road team is interesting, what are your thoughts here?

I think the road teams could be worth a shot today but the odds just aren't enticing enough so it's better to ride with home teams ML here than the road teams with a too low handicap line if you ask me, Dallas Mavericks are the only road team that could be worth backing ML, but they too have a couple of inexperienced players that's factoring into their entire result, but Kyrie and Doncic seem rather enough to carry this team, especially if Kawhi Leonard remains out for Clippers.

Indiana Pacers are way too playoffs game inexperienced for their own, and they look really out of sync or form in game, even without Giannis they'll need to correct a whole lot of things to be able force a long and interesting series for the Bucks, and the first things will be taking care of the ball and knocking down shots when they have the opportunities.

That 6ers is crazy in the last seconds of the game. The Knicks just got a steal and threw another 3 points while 76ers had the advantage almost the entire match, at the end of the game its the Knicks who won with just that last mistake. If the last free throw goes in, I think 76ers would have won the game.

I wagered at 1.75 and an early celebration is already happening at the Stake chatroom but got crazy after finding out at the last second. People got Shocked

Cleveland Cavaliers - Orlando Magic - Orlando Magic (6.5) - Loss!
New York Knicks - Philadelphia 76ers - New York Knicks (-3.5) - Loss! I need one more point.
Denver Nuggets - Los Angeles Lakers - Denver Nuggets (-5.5) - Loss! The Nuggets won by a buzzer-beater. Jamal Murray.

0/3. Dang it! Post-season is difficult to predict.

Anyway, 3 games later again. Here are my picks. Fingers crossed that I can make a perfect bet today to reclaim my losses.
Minnesota Timberwolves - Phoenix Suns - Minnesota Timberwolves (-1.5) Kyle Anderson is questionable to play. Grayson Allen is questionable for the Suns. That's big.
Milwaukee Bucks - Indiana Pacers - Indiana Pacers ML @1.98 - Still no Giannis? Doubtful status.
Los Angeles Clippers - Dallas Mavericks - Dallas Mavericks (-2.5) Kawhi questionable.

Good luck to everyone! Have a great day!

Looks a great bet decision to me, all the playoffs matches so far have been a massive Under on the total spread, and you can't easily expect yet another low scoring game from Magic and Cavs teams that usually go extremely cold for 2 or more quarters in every game, the 3rd and 4th Quarters are usually where they have their scoring inefficiency.

You are on point with that low-scoring second half when their pace got faster in the second quarter, the live totals shot back up from 196.5 to 203.5. I thought they'd start to put in more points after that change of pace, but things slowed down as they only scored 30-40 points in the last two quarters.

Good luck with your Jokic props he got 12 last meeting, so there's a good chance he'll get more than that.

Congratulations mate, that was pretty much the anticipation from the beginning of the game, very similar game to the game 1, this could be a sweep of a 4-1 for the Cavaliers imo.

I bet early on the Cavs vs Orlando Magic.

I pick Orlando at +5.5, they've lost big in game 1, but I think Paolo will come back here against Donovan Mitchell and try to steal this one or at least make it a competitive fight and will not lose on some double digit margin.

Cavs still playing very good basketball at their homecourt, end of first half, Cavs leads the game 58-44. Banchero had another worst shooting night with just 6 points here and it's not as competitive as you call it.

Joel Embiid was able to play for the Sixers tonight, and leading against the Knicks.

I'm torn on which spread to take for the Cavs vs. Magic game. From what I can imagine, the Cavs would cruise again and win by double digits. Then again, the Magic showed they can always be a threat, during the third quarter of the first game, they almost clawed their way back from a double-digit deficit.

I'll wing it on the under 206.5 points and ride the under while it's hot as we could be in for another low-scoring game.

I've got another player props' bet for tonight and it's on the Joker for game 2 vs Lakers.

I'm going with Jokic Over 12.5 Rebs @ 1.90 Odds

Didn't bet the first 2 days I wanted to get a lay of the land. But betting all 3 games tonight. Here are my 3:

Orlando +5.5. I know they are away and cleveland handled them pretty well but orlando is young and hungry. Think they cover in a close game

Knicks -5.5. With embid hurting and Maxey game time decision with a sickness I think knicks roll them by 10+ tonight. Brunson won't have that bad a game tonight.

Denver -5.5. Champs at home with a low spread. Will take them all day at this spread.

Good luck and enjoy the games!

I lost both my bets. I didn't expect the Pelicans to play that good against the top seed of the West. But, that gave us an idea that we should not be underestimating the teams in the playoffs now. They will be playing as hard as they can especially in the road to snatch one game away from the home team.

We have 3 games later. Here are my picks.
Cleveland Cavaliers - Orlando Magic - Orlando Magic (6.5)
New York Knicks - Philadelphia 76ers - New York Knicks (-3.5) - No Embiid if I am not mistaken after he hurt himself doing the superb dunk.
Denver Nuggets - Los Angeles Lakers - Denver Nuggets (-5.5) - The Nuggets showed their strength in their home, they gained the momentum and I don't think it can be stopped easily.

Good luck everyone.

Good start by the Lakers but like their previous match ups, Lakers still collapse in the 2nd half.
Once the Nuggets figure out the right adjustment, it seems like the Lakers have no more answer and that's what we witness in that game. I even thought they'll win but turns out they loss and unable to cover the handicap.

Let's jump to the upcoming games anyway.

Miami +14 (loss)
I think Boston is just too overvalued to give this high handicap on a team that beat them in the regular season with the same line up.

Dallas -2.5 (loss)
I like them to take the first win, no Leonard in this game and the Dallas are currently on a great run, it should continue here.

Pelicans +8.5 (win)
No Zion but they proved they can win, so I like taking them with this high handicap against a young OKC team.

Updated record 5(W)-5(L)..... 50%

For the upcoming games, I'm betting on the underdogs as they are trying to even the series.

1-Magic +5.5
Last time they loss by blowout, they should make the right adjustment in game 2. better ball movement to find an open man so they can improve their FG percentage.

2- Lakers +7
They almost made it in game 1 but collapse in the 2nd half, that cannot happen again. If they lose, at least a chance to cover is high.

3-Sixers +6
I believe they are the better team, Embiid has to play like an MVP, dominate the paint like he usually does.

I bought a point down with my OKC spread (-7.5), it might not matter as much, but it's better to be safe against the best road team.

With or without Zion i'll always ride with OKC, thinking they'd be one of the toughest teams to beat at home.

https://talkimg.com/images/2024/04/22/j8p3j.png

The under is also tempting to bet on the playoffs, but after watching the Celtics game it's tough knowing the other team can start fouling or push the pace to hit the over.

Zion Williamson is a big loss for New Orlean Pelicans right now. As you can see, the New Orleans Pelicans are having a hard time inside the perimeter.
What I observe in this game is New Orleans Pelicans are attacking mostly in the outside of the perimeter and they are still able to make points and still have a good fight with OKC Thunder.
I'm OKC Thunder on this game but with your handicap, it is kinda risky.

This series is fun, I thought that OKC would dominate but turned out they are struggling against the Zion-less Pelicans, they are lucky to have won the game in a close game, just a 2 point win by the young OKC. Game 2 would be crucial, for sure adjustments will be made but one thing is clear, the currently line up of the Pelicans are strong enough to give OKC a better series. Still rooting for the Pelicans handicap in game 2.
