You think? I am having a hard time choosing but my instinct is lurking mostly with betting for the Cavaliers. The game is too early so I need to cast my bet later or I won't be able to catch the game.
Spreads are too close with just +2 and -2 and the same goes for Clippers vs Pelicans. Ingram has a lot of skill set and with CJ around everything became easier for him. I am thinking only short runs will happen unless a star will be off-night.
How about the others, what's your pick? Maybe it can help to decide. 

Well you got a point, CJ McCollum on the Spurs games really pushes beyond expectation and has got a win over the Spurs, and this win is not by himself but with the Aid of his teammates Jonas Valanciunas has a double-double and Brandon Ingram did well so there sure is chemistry within the team, but CJ McCollum lives in the shadow of Damian Lillard, back when he was in Portland Trailblazer and right now after hitting a transfer to the Pelicans CJ McCollum is taking this break to make a career-high right now, but I would never underestimate Paul George, but as I have said a one-man army will not win over a team play, I may change my pick but will further look at this when the game starts,



I really doubt the Cavaliers could put on a good show tomorrow with the Atlanta Hawks as their opponent they will be having trouble in my opinion back when they are playing against the Nets it was a very one-sided game so with this Atlanta Hawks game I think this is the same as the Nets and will be a difficult one for the Cavaliers.


I am sticking with the Hawks with this game aswell, against the Cavaliers that are pretty much not capable at all, with their 2 out of season players and pretty much their offensive and defensive are on low right now, and Jarrett Allen is their only option to strive but he is in question if he can play because of his finger injury, but Trae Young will sure deal with the Cavaliers and yeah this could be another one-sided game if Cavaliers would only be reliable on Jarrett Allen.

Not all the time, pre-match usually gets more bets compared to live betting. If you are betting on the Hawks and they lead by 20 points in the first half, then you'll not be able to put your bet anymore unless you will take the high point spread.

The betting lines exist for a reason, in reality, you just have to choose the right side in order to win, and unfortunately, no one could determine which team will win so the huge chance that we think is only based on our personal opinion, it doesn't guarantee anything.

At least when we see the game, we know that the chance of our bet to win is huge. 

So I might stick with them on the road, again Trae Young doesn't flap and will show Garland who is the top point guard here. Young knows the gravity of this kind of game and seems to be raising up every stake with his performance. So I will stick with the Hawks, -2.5.

Even the ML is too good, at 2.x odd. So with this kind of odds, it's a good bet to put in this game. Maybe the pattern will stretch out and remain true. If that happens then it's going to be a good win for us.

Cavaliers lacks experience, but base on the 1st game, they can still pull out a win, they just have to know how to play with their strengths and good defense.

I will stick with the pattern, and yes I like the Cavaliers here because they are playing at home. Bookies understands their chances that's why they are only +2 now, hopefully they'll not panic in this play-in due to lack of experience.

I also like the chances of the Cavaliers against the Hawks. They have a good size advantage and hopefully they will not let the Hawks takes an early lead just like they did on the Nets game.

Just make it close or even they themselves take a good lead at their home court. And if the pattern holds true, (home team wins), then they have a good chance against the streaking Hawks.

It's obvious that the Spurs team is very young, and doesn't have any playoff or play-in experience under their belt, they have to earn it the hard way by facing it right now. Hawks on the other hand was too much, but against the Cavs, I don't see any big game leads, but still the Hawks are going to end the winner against the Cavs in the next game, -2.5.

Like last year, Atlanta Hawks did a surprise again and no one even expected they will reach the Semis. But we should not take their recent win as a big deal because Hornets are not that really a threat right from the beginning. They are far even more worst than the Cleveland Cavaliers. This team is also unexpected to rise the ladder this season. They always end up not reaching the playoffs but with their current roster, they might have the chance to beat the Atlanta Hawks.

On a contrary, I will go with the Cavaliers here and expect goods for them as an underdog.

Young team. Not really a big deal for Pops. I think he was satisfied they still entered the play-in and beat the other team in rankings. You know, The Veterans. 
Correct. Composure. Experience does help in this type of situation and I think Trae Young has the drive to put them back on the map. He had been saying that before the season ended, it's now time to prove they can if they beat the Cavs. That team is not as weak as the Hornets and they have powerful players who can change the pace of the game. It will be an entertaining night.

1-day rest, then we are back.

It will be PG vs CJ.. They have faced each other already in the playoffs before but on a different team, the time CJ was with Blazers while PG was with the OKC. Now with different teams, let's see which team will advance in the playoffs, Clippers have the edge because of the home-court advantage, but it should not be an easy task for them to see how the Pelicans are playing with great chemistry.

Adjustment is necessary, PG is a good scorer but they should not rely heavily on him, ball movement is still very important as this Clippers team are full of talent that could contribute anytime.

Now we are about to witness a match between the losing team vs the winning team this time, and my picks are highlighted in green,

Cleveland Cavaliers VS Atlanta Hawks

Right now the lost team against the Nets the Cavaliers is facing the team that won over the Hornets the Hawks, stake odds are 2.19 for the Cavaliers while 1.71 for the Hawks right now Jarrett Allen is questionable if he can play for the Cavaliers while Chaundee Brown Jr., John Collins, and Lou Williams are questionable if they can win against the Cavaliers, likely favorite team to win is the Hawks, and this I think because the Hawks have beaten the Cavaliers in their last game and it was a very agonizing defeat for the Cavaliers because from start to finish the game was a one-sided one, so likely the Atlanta Hawks can win this my picks will go with the Hawks.

Los Angeles Clippers VS New Orleans Pelicans

Right now the losing team Clippers against the Timberwolves is facing against the team the Pelicans that won against the Spurs, Stake odds are 1.59 for the Clippers while 2.43 for the Pelicans, right now Jason Preston, and Kawhi Leonard can not play for the Clippers while Luke Kennard is questionable, and Zion Williamson can not play for the Pelicans, even though the Pelicans have won against the Spurs it is highly unlikely they will be winning against the Clippers, the Los Angeles Clipper have a close match against the Timberwolves and I think Paul George will likely to do against what he's done against the Timberwolves, so my pick will be the Clippers, and the last match against the Pelicans was a tremendous loss for the Pelicans with 19 points lead for the Clippers.

Both of them have that experience but the Cavaliers have more of it than the latter but I don't doubt that these Hawks can still overpower the Cavs even if they can maintain their performance last time against the Nets, but the thing now is both teams are desperate to get the seat so yes this might be a close game to see. About the betting, I will also bet on the live game and watch for some tasty odds.

So what team do you think will win the game? If you are betting on the Hawks and they'll dominate the Cavaliers in the game, you might miss the opportunity to also win your bet, so better place it early if you don't want to miss that opportunity to win. 

Experienced might be the big difference between Cavs and Hawks, but if Cavs will play the same type of energy

they've shown that last game against the Nets, the chance is also good for them, both teams do have firepower and if
those players will show their best. It can be a close match to watch out.

I'll be going to watch it during the live game and see if there's a good odd to bet, otherwise, maybe watching and enjoying
the game instead.

This is what I meant because regular games is really different compared to the pressure of play-in and playing in the playoffs and the Hawks have already that experience so it's quite easy for them to dominate the young Hornets. Against the Cleveland Cavs, I'm still going with the Hawks.

Yeah, it was on the last quarter when they had it but it was already too late because the Pelicans already buried them much early.

That was too easy for the Hawks, they dominated the whole game and if you bet on them, you won't feel the thrill while watching because you already know your bet will win, that's what you called "easy money". Anyway, they'll be up next against the Cavaliers, I think they'll still dominate seeing how the Nets dominated the Cavaliers too.


Spurs knows how to come back but does not know how to win. 

Atlanta Hawks was a cool bet for us, as if we have seen that they can cover the spread and that's what they did and have some for spare.

But for the Spurs, it was a complete disaster, as they allowed the Pelicans to take a commanding lead and trying to play catch up is very hard specially if you are away from home.

As you can see on the roster of the Pelicans, they have many star players that perform well during the playoffs.

CJ was really a big help for the Pelicans, he is Ballin and he showed what he can do more in his current team that he cannot do everything with Lillard playing as the main man of the team. I think they'll be a great championship contender once Zion will come back, probably next season.
