^^ Congrats to all, I got the -7.5 at 1.92 as well.
For tomorrow's game, what do you think?
I have the Bucks +4.5 at 1.93. If they can't solved Giannis, I don't think that the Celtics can win this series. And one of their defensive players, Marcus Smart seems to be questionable in game 2. So no one can stop Holiday as well.

2 for 2.
Cheers to the winners as the spreads are completely covered especially for the Miami Heat who played a high level of defense. There was a time the 76ers took the lead at 51-50 but that's it, I didn't feel any worry at all. They lack a big body to protect the rim and get the rebound, the 76ers lose at that part where the Heat registered 15 offensive rebounds against 9 for the 76ers.
As for the Suns vs Mavs, Dinwiddie scared me there for a bit as the spreads might not cover if that last shot went in.

I think I would feel somewhat comfortable betting on the Miami Heat and Phoenix Suns to WIN their games (not cover the spread) in a multibet. I think it will be extremely difficult for the 76ers to win without Embiid at this stage in the season, and I think the Suns will be able to take down the Mavericks. It's playoff basketball, and when it comes to multibets I don't like to push it, but I think outright wins for the Mavericks and Heat wouldn't be the most unlikely thing to ever happen. Given that it's round 1 and there's some uncertainty in play, I think it might be best to play it a little safe while trying to maximize return on the likely scenario to unfold.
As I have said previously, I will be betting on the initial spread for both Miami and Suns. Although there are some anxious moments on the Dallas vs Suns game specially in the last seconds as the lead was cut down to 5 at one point with Luka's 3 and then Spencer going for a 3 in the corner in the last second, and fortunately, it was a missed.
I took the under 214.5 on the Suns game since I don't like the spread at -6.5 it feels like Mavs will keep it close for some reason. The under seems nice given how Mavs totals are usually going under when they're up against the Jazz last series. I think they'll be able to slow the Suns down and keep the total under once more. I might go for a bit of live betting if the Mavs manage to get an early lead and push the Suns line close to -120 or -110.

The multibet seem highly probable compared to either of the favorites covering the spread, I'd agree.
I really don't see any prospect for 76ers in this series without Embiid either, without Embiid ? Give me the Miami Heat in 4
I've been doing pretty well this playoffs with my single props' bets, and I'm sticking to that;
I'm putting a bit of my fate on Adebayo and then, Maxey. Maxey will have to do a lot offensively for the 76ers to stand any chance.
Maxey Over 21.5 points @ 1.86
Bam Adebayo Over 10.5 Rebounds @ 1.95
Heat with a -7.5 point spread seems a little disrespectful to the 76ers. Granted they don’t have Embiid but they’re still a good team. It will be tough for them to get the win without their MVP candidate but I think they might be able to cover the spread. We’ll find out tomorrow as I don’t think their odds will get better as the series goes on. The Suns with a -5.5 point spread on the Mavericks is another tricky bet. I think I might have to sit out and see how game 1 goes before counting the Mavericks out.
I did take both of the spread though, I think if Embiid is not going to play (most likely), the Heat can take and win the game even with a double digit advantage.
I was able to go on live betting 2.07 (+1.5) for the Warriors, and it was a thriller, although Klay hit that three to give them a lead, he misses 2 free throws which could have given the win for those who take the -2.5 spread pre-game handicap.
The possibility of the 76ers in losing is pretty huge from the team odds to the favorite to win the 76ers are looking very slim to win in the meantime, Joel Embiid is a pretty much-needed player at the moment James Harden will need to carry on until he returns,
And for Klay Thompson, I really think that free throw shots were on his nerves, I really don't blame the guy, for missing two easy shots, but that is a crucial moment and it was a close match after all from that perspective Klay was very nervous in making a mistake which he eventually did, and from that two free throw missed the internet is judging him anyway,
Embiid was already announced not available in game 1, and against a complete roster of the Heat, I find the spread very attractive as a double-digit is possible. It's only tricky if we think that games might be rig and make the 76ers cover the spread since everyone is obviously putting their money on the Heat.
Dallas vs Suns. I'll bet on the road team. ( hopefully a close game)
I don't really think it could be rig but the possibility is there, still, when we look at these two teams' game history back on their March 22 game the 76ers won the game without Joel Embiid and James Harden, so there might be a chance for them to win this,
Yeah, It went down to the wire. Damn, Ja Morant really had the game at his mercy but that's one of those moments that get stuck in your head for a while.
I think Memphis really stand a chance in the series, if they play a pacey game, that's when they're more terrifying and they really can't win this series if they want to play a slow possession by possession game.
I had to admit, Ja Morant was really nasty and that Jaren Jackson Jr, a guy was pretty devastating when it comes to threes, but we can not take out that the Golden State Warriors are playing without Draymond Green because he got ejected early on the game he just played 17 mins I really think the defense of the Warriors withers whenever they don't have Green, but that defense on Stephen Curry on Ja Morant is promising there might be a light in stopping Morant without Green or Gary Payton II stops Morant when he swoops the ball on Morant possession, pretty much Ja Morant isn't really that might and mighty.
I got the same pick, Warriors -2.5 in game 1.
Klay Thompson ruined this bet. He missed 2 FT which is very uncharacteristic of him, he was clutch actually but he really missed, it only proved he is a human. LOL.. better luck next time for me, I still got them in game 2.
I was thinking that this bet would have a high chance of winning after that foul that being committed.
Until now I'm still thinking how int he world he will miss important FT like this. There's still enough time for Memphis to snatch
the game, almost, but it's not for Memphis to win the game today.
Time to move forward and sort the games for tomorrow, Heat -7.5 @ 1.93 seems decent since news spread that Sixers will be
Embiid-less this coming game 1.
Many bettors including myself were shocked by those missed free throws from Klay due to the spreads being affected.
On tomorrow's game. Is it the first time that James Harden playing without Embiid? I still trust Harden's offense but it also depends on how Doc Rivers planned the game. But I do hope Doc will let Harden do his thing. I might take a pass on betting tomorrow's games.
Yeah I put a few bucks down on the Warriors as well and was losing my mind on easy buckets being missed such as those free throws. Memphis is a pretty solid team so maybe I should have given them a little more credit especially with as well as Ja Morant has been playing.
It was a very competitive game, Warriors could have cover the spread if Klay did not missed the 2 FTs. Ja Morant was trying to have a game winner, but we know how good the Warriors are in terms of defense, they will not let that happen, I think a 3 point shot would be better than the last play of Morant.
If klay hits the free throws then it would have altered what Memphis does atthe end so everyone can play the what if games but that alters everything else after. Agreed if I had the warrior side of the bet that would have driven me nuts since klay is a lifetime 85% foul shot shooter.

Yeah, that part was a letdown. Same with Curry, he had been missing free throws now unlike before. Now the other teams are at Game 1 of the 2nd round.
-7.5 is a lot but if Miami Heat can make a perfect defense turn to offense the spread might get a hit. I'll take the risk. Stop Maxey, Harden, and Harris is the job and I believe they can.
-5.5 for the Phoenix Suns. With Booker back and played 1 game versus NOP, I think that should be enough to gain his rhythm.
Good luck.

I really don't feel too confident with the Warriors here tbh, and I'm not going to be placing any bet on them on ML for now, but I feel the Grizzlies inexperience might cost them in this series, and you can't expect the Warriors to throw away as many games away like the Wolves did. I'll probably make a decision after the first 2 games.
Lol so ML on the Warriors hit but I still nailed the spead at -2 lol. Crazy game and I expect the entire series to go down like this. Bane and brooks killed the Grizzlies today. If either one of them were on their game they would have won this game by double digits. Next game is crucial for the Grizzlies, they can go down 2-0 going to Golden state. They need to split this and the next series like they did against the wolves. I still like theor chances they match up well against the warriors.

They are listed on the bookies with +7.5 spread against the Miami Heat, some will take that spread but same as you, I would pass on their game tomorrow as it's unlikely to predict this game well without Embiid. However I got Phoenix Suns -5.5 for the game later.

Here are my picks for tomorrow's game highlighted in green are my picks,
Miami Heat VS Philadelphia 76ers
Stake odds at the moment for this game are 1.30 for the Heat while 3.70 for the 76ers, right now Kyle Lowry can not play for the Heat, and Markieff Morris, Jimmy Butler, Max Strus, Tyler Herro, P.J. Tucker, and Caleb Martin is questionable if they can play, while for the 76ers Joel Embiid can not play for the 76ers because of Orbital injury, while Charles Bassey is questionable if he can play, this is a crucial moment for the 76ers and injuries are one nasty thing that can happen to a player and it could cause a heavy toll on a team, right now Joel Embiid is a likely big part for the 76ers, even though there are many questionable players for the Heat, I really think Kyle Lowry is the only one that is sure that can not play for the Heat, and because of that my pick is the Miami Heat.
Phoenix Suns VS Dallas Mavericks
Stake odds at the moment for this game are 1.43 for the Suns while 2.95 for the Mavericks, right now Dario Saric, can not play for the Suns while Tim Hardaway Jr. can not play for the Mavericks, right now I really think that the Phoenix Suns will win this match well I am just basing my speculation on their previous game and the Suns have fully won that game against the Mavericks but that was on January 21, 2022 game and after 3 months or more, these two teams will kick a match again, so my pick will be the Phoenix Suns.

James Harden already played being him as the sole star player of the team, so it's not new to him. However, I am not really comfortable betting on this game because it's possible that the refs may manipulate this to make 76ers cover the spread, but I'm not so sure that's why I'm staying away.

Get them in game 2, same odds, so if Warriors would win, just hope that they will cover.
I'm wondering what will be the game 3 odds since Warriors are a slight favorite on the road, maybe -5.5?
Still, I would take that if Memphis will not be able to even the series in game 2.
