Seems everyone is really on the Nets to win against the Cavs so I'm also tailing this one. For sure though this is going to be a battle, but the Nets have the home court and then Durant and Irving so the -8.5 is still doable and maybe they can win in double digits.

The odds still very attractive at 1.89. Goodluck to everyone. I might skip the Clippers vs Minnesota game though.

Good picks @YuginKadoya

I believe the Nets can easily beat the Cavs, but I have no doubt the Cavaliers will let that happen easily, both teams need the win to be able to qualify with some distance from 8th place.

In the game between the Timberwolves x Clippers, I believe it will be more fierce than the Nets x Cavs, in this game that we will have in the west conference, the same is repeated, but I believe that the Timberwolves also win this duel, even though it is very competitive.

Good luck @YuginKadoya, I know this is a tough game for the Wolves because Clippers are packed up with veterans with good experience in the playoffs. However, I believe that there's a good reason why the Wolves are listed as favorites and for sure Wolves will not waste the opportunity at home as they worked hard just to reach at this stage even without a bad start.

Here are my picks for the games tomorrow highlighted in green are my picks

Brooklyn Nets VS Cleveland Cavaliers

Stake odds for this game are 1.23 for the Nets while 4.40 for the Cavaliers, Ben Simmons can not play for the Nets while Seth Curry is questionable if he can play for the team, Jarrett Allen is questionable for the Cavaliers, pretty much the fans favorite are the Nets because of the last game Nets have from the Cavaliers with 118 - 107 maybe this could be a repeat lost for the Cavaliers with Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, Bruce Brown and Andre Drummond are playing for the Nets this could be a repeat from their last game so my pick will be the favorites.

Minnesota Timberwolves VS Los Angeles Clippers

Stake odds for this game are 1.67 for the Timberwolves while 2.27 for the Clippers D'Angelo Russell was questionable if he can play for the Timberwolves while Jason Preston and Kawhi Leonard can not play for the Clippers, and Luke Kennard and Nicolas Batum are questionable while Paul George is back for the Clippers, and fans are riding with Anthony Edwards could be a key in beating the Clippers while Patrick Beverley a traded from the Clippers have to push his former teams in the brink of getting eliminated, I think the Timberwolves is pretty much confident that Antony Edwards really is their secret weapon, so I am siding with the Timberwolves this time.

Yeah, they have a  big run in the 3rd quarter but the Spurs didn't give up in the 4th, they still compete and win the 4th quarter which is bad because it resulted in losing my bet. Anyway, let's keep moving because the regular season is over, we are now in the play-in tournament where only a few games to witness but it's more exciting than the regular season.

Yeah that was a career high for obi.  It was basically a 2 man show with obi and quick playing well together.  Knicks only had 7 guys available to play and 2 of them never really touched the floor with the Knicks before so obi was a virtual lock for points he had to play all game.  Knicks have an issue with Randle and obi now.  They play the same spot and obi costs a ton less to play there. 

lol, I'm not a Suns fan, but I admit that, I would like to see the Suns being champion in this season, the team as a whole deserves this achievement

Well, imagining this situation you said, it may even be plausible, but the Warriors these days are not even close to the team they had a few years ago...
If the main players of the Suns are 100% healthy and intact against a possible game against the Warriors in the playoffs, I confess that it will be an interesting duel!

As the first day of play-in tournament starts, it is highly expected that these teams will give their best shot and for the case of the Nets vs Cavaliers, they will somehow come up with a plan to defeat each other to have an automatic seat in the league which is the 7th seed for their case.

For that, I'm also betting for the Nets -8.5. I have no doubt that they can manage to defeat the Cavs as they have a healthy star player, might be a close game but I know the spread will be covered somehow.

Same here, betting earlier on the games when the regular is on the last 2 days is a much more risky move as they likely decide that they will sit their superstar/star player in the last minute before the game starts. Betting on live will somehow reduce that risk as you can more analyze the game because you know who the players were and the situation. Well, the regular season is now over and tomorrow is the first day of the play-in tournament.

I got the Nets bet, this will be intense and they're playing on their home.

What a great luck, same with you. I am also in the impression that Mavs will pullover after that 3rd quarter run.

Good thing that Spurs didn't give up and continue to try cutting that lead, sad to say that Mavs
is more offensive and even coach continue to rotate players, whoever inside still providing and
doing their shares, they didn't give any chance for the Spurs to rally and win this game from them.

That's fine, these last few games were really unpredictable because we cannot be sure if their star players will play or not. But that's so close! Let's try our luck again on the 1st day of the play-in tournament as for sure teams will try hard to compete to have a spot in the playoffs.

I'll follow you on those bets, Nets -8.5 and LA Clippers +3 .. GL!

On my side, I have the Spurs +10.5 so same boat with you, I thought that I may have lost my bet when the Mavs started to pull in the 3rd quarter by more than 10 points. And then the Spurs slowly getting back in the game, putting a good comeback in the 4th and manage to cut the lead to single digits and then eventually it was just a 10 point winning margin by the Dallas.

I smell Suns fan boy miles away. Hehe. I’m assuming that GSW players will play in good condition especially Klay Thompson shooting skills. I remember they fight Suns without Curry and still manage to have a close fight when Klay thompson field goal percentage is high.


You are missing the context of the Dangerous on the point of discussion. You are generalizing your answer while you are interfering on the conversation. Atleast try to comprehend the context of your quoted post. I’m not saying placing pre-match bet in general is dangerous, I’m just trying to emphasize its danger on the last games of the regular season due to random absence of player in the roster.

That’s the curse of -10.5 for yah. I usually hate choosing that handicap because team usually let it slide the lead when the score is exactly ahead by 10pts. Maybe this is a common thinking of rounding off. But 10pts is always the gap on most of the matches in NBA so I usually avoid -10.5 instead choose +10.5 if I know that the underdog team can match the strong team on the last quarter of the game. The play-in tournament is very crucial while the pre-match odds is not good for bettors. I will go for live bet this time with positive handicap.

Of course, I will take the Nets, they will be playing at home and we know Irving and Durant play better when in the playoffs. They have the edge in terms of experience and this young Cavaliers might struggle in their first meeting. The spread only convinced me that Nets will win big time, at least 10 points in this particular game.

Won on the Clippers game but lose to the Dallas game, just 0.5.
So that's the last game of the series, we have 1 day rest then we will proceed to the play-in tournament.

Early betting lines.

Nets -8 against Cavaliers
Clippers +2.5 against Wolves.

In the last couple of games, I stay out of pre match betting because it just destroyed some of my parlays. That's why I just do live betting as much as I can, see how the teams are doing specially in the first two quarters. Mavs didn't rest Luka so obviously they have a good chance to win against the Spurs. But the Warriors is still good without Klay, as Jordan Poole putting a show.

Dangerous? I don't think so, most of the bettors put their money in the pre-game, so it does not validate the word dangerous. Besides, betting is risky, whether you put your bet on pre-game odds or and live betting odds because you can never know the outcome of the game.

I also agree and I think that betting in pre-game is not a valid thing to do!

Now @Coin_trader, do you seriously imagine the Warriors can easily beat the Suns in playoffs? or WCF!!? Why do you imagine this!!?

They got careless. Coach Malone was furious for they let go of a lead that should have been sufficient to win the game. Austin Reaves made them pay and took it to overtime. Lakers are good when they are enjoying the game although that's also because Jokic took his rest.
That ends our season games.
Play-in tournament, here we go.
Nets vs Cavaliers - This will sure be fun as the expectations for the Nets came back when Kyrie played again and showed good stats after the bad debut on their homecourt. I might ride the hype for the Nets.
