It's either nyc allows him or doesn't.  With the entire country lessening restrictions across the board I think we are weeks away from new york from opening back up.  If that happens and kyrie can play every game the Nets are the instant favorites in the East.  Ginnis is a tough guard for them but outside of that I can't see a team beating them in a series. 

That's a big problem for the Nets, especially in the playoffs.

But as per this report : https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nba/2022/01/12/kyrie-irving-play-nets-home-games-pay-fine/9186834002/
I guess he can play as long as he will have to pay the penalty,.. can you confirm if it's possible?

Without Irving in home games, that would really be hard for the team to win.

Yes, they can, but the biggest issue is Kyrie who won't be able to play in their home games. That could affect them big time with how the chemistry will work.
Duo or shooting threes. Doesn't matter and it's actually better to stay unpredictable.

Early picks.
Miami Heat vs Cleveland Cavaliers - Heat -6.5 . Jimmy Butler is still questionable to play due to illness but I think they can win it.
Phoenix Suns vs Toronto Raptors - Suns -5.5 Home game + Booker return high chance to cover. Good luck to everyone.

As long as there's no major injury that will happen to Durant or Irving, they have a chance to be in the conference Finals and probably to be in the NBA Finals.

I'd love to see the Sixers vs Nets in the ECF, that would be a great series as both teams have the star players that are an MVP caliber.
Like the Sixers having Embiid who is the heavy favorite to win an MVP this season.

Even if Nets won last night , it was a personal duel as I saw 1 half of the game and it seemed that Nets has something personal against 76ers but 76ers did not respond back and chose to have a normal game.

So , now the questions still remains :

Is Nets a great team for play-offs this season ? Can they reach at least the Conference finals ?

How much the game of 76ers will change in the play-offs ? Do you see Harden shooting more from 3 ? or the duo between him and Embid will keep going every game ?

That's the agreement in the trade, and both teams agree. I think both teams won the trade as Harden was very impressive in the past few games, except for this one where he was like Westbrook in terms of production, but it's just one game, we should not make a conclusion right away, Sixers are still a championship team IMO.

Wow! Such a great news! I am a huge warriors fan and I'm so happy that they won. No doubt Golden State Warriors winning this year. I absolutely love this allstar team getting on. Curry is the greatest shooter of all time. And its crazy how he pulls up from any range or so quickly. Then he can drive too. While Durant face like I should've stay with the warriors  

The game was so full packed! You can literally feel and hear the hatred of the Sixers fans towards Ben Simmons, we can't blame them for that because Simmons was once turned his back on his former team mates. IMO, no doubt that the 76ers have won the trade because they have Harden now which makes a good duo with Embiid but letting Curry and Drummond go is also a bad idea.

Indeed they are. The Nets are coming back strong and claiming back their spot before KD was injured. Irving can be a headache sometimes to the team but his talent is surreal which makes him a good asset to the team. Even if he can't play home games, he can surely make the team bounce back if needed.

Now for the bets, I have Hornets -2 and Grizzlies -9.5

The Nets is slowly getting back in phase and climbing spots, I don't either doubt that before the regular season ends they can have a seat in the playoffs without playing in the play-in tournament. Even if Irving can't play home games, the Nets is still hard to beat now knowing that KD is back and Seth is getting good in his spot. Almost everyone of them is a threat and can really shoot easy threes.

Yeah, given KD and Irving are going to play good, the key difference is the players they swap with Harden, namely Simmons, Curry and Drummond.

There's a lot of booing on Simmons during the shoot out but it doesn't bother him as they got the revenge specially Curry with a huge game to show his former team.

I don't have any pick for today's so this is my picks for tomorrow's game

Orlando Magic VS Minnesota Timberwolves

Stake Odds for this game is 3.50 for the Magic while 1.32 for the Timberwolves, Jonathan Isaac can not play for the Magic until March 28, while Jarred Vanderbilt, Anthony Edwards, Taurean Prince, and Jordan McLaughlin is questionable if they can play against the Magic, but I guess all Timberwolves players don't have any problem at all While the Magic is pretty much losing so much the Timberwolves is a formidable team that could surely easily win, with the range in their odds I think that the Timberwolves will likely to win, but I will not going to Bet directly, might as well go with betting with how much points the Timberwolves will make,

Atlanta Hawks VS Los Angeles Clippers

Stake Odds for this game is 1.40 for the Hawks and 3.05 for the Clippers, The Hawks doesn't have any injuries at the moment while the Clippers have Kawhi Leonard that may come back on April 10, Norman Powell, Paul George, Jason Preston, and Robert Covington, right now the favorite team to win is the Hawks, and they are 100% healthy at the moment while the Clippers has some issue with some, but I guess the Clippers still have the capabilities of biting back, but I will go with the Hawks.

Memphis Grizzlies VS New York Knicks

Stake Odds for this game is 1.21 for the Grizzlies while 4.60 for the Knicks, Dillon Brooks is questionable if he can play for the Grizzlies, while Derrick Rose, Quentin Grimes, and Nerlens Noel can not play for the Knicks, while Obi Toppin and Luka Samanic are questionable if they can play, the Grizzlies is doing too well with Ja Morant is leading the team, and right now I think that he would make a big income on his next season and surely many teams would like him to be in their team, for me I think that the Grizzlies will make a win, and I will be staying away from bets for this game and may Bet for Ja Morant's that he will make a 30 up score,

Los Angeles Lakers VS Washington Wizards

Stake Odds for this game is 1.53 for the Lakers while 2.60 for the Wizards for now the Lakers have injuries and that will be Kendrick Nunn, and Anthony Davis can not play for the Lakers while Talen Horton-Tucker, Malik Monk, and LeBron James are questionable if they can play, while Vernon Carey Jr. is questionable to play for the Wizards right now Anthony Davis is not on the team and I think Lebron James will not have a fire burning performance just like what happened with the Warriors game, I really think that they really need Anthony Davis, for me I think I will go with the Washington Wizards this time.

Yeah the Nets are finally coming together. Kyrie Irving is just so ridiculously good. That dude may be a total weirdo, but guy can absolutely ball and makes them a championship contender.  They had a nice game versus the Sixers, spread the ball around well. It will be really interesting when they add Ben Simmons to the group. Look forward to seeing that play out.

Good game for Nuggets vs Warriors. That was really fun but even if Coach Malone says they don't want exhaustion to be the reason for their loss, it is.
Steve Kerr knew that, and it is why he wants his team to keep on running and do transition plays to expose it.
3/4 but the loss for Kevin Durant's player prop points is acceptable as the game ended in a blowout game. Funny thing, I bet twice for the Nets which I didn't notice. I must be really sleepy last night and confused if I made the bet or not.  Cheers to all the winners.

Maxey and Harden are missing not to back up Embiid, and yes, it's the type of game KD and Kyrie live at.

It's a good start for them playing together with Curry and Drummond. We would see what help Simmons can bring once he

step inside the court together with KD and Kyrie. Playoff is nearing and all the team is aiming for a win very crucial especially

to those who are still fighting for positioning like the Nets.

Irving has a lot of impact to boost his team mates confidence, Even there bench players and Seth Curry performs very well against a strong opponent 76ers maybe because there’s no too much pressure to handle since they trust Kyrie Irving decision making. They are just keep rotating and waiting for the balance. Nets will surely be the favorite if they can maintain this kind of performance level until playoffs. Will definitely take note on this record as reference for my future betting.

A lot of sleeping giants team is already awaken.

Right now they are in the eight hole.   There is not one team in the top 4 that wants to play them in the first round.  If durantula and kyrie already available they should be the favorites whether home or away.  Big decision if nyc lifts the Vax ban.  If so then lights out, the Nets are dead set the favorites to win this conf.

Up by 29 with less than 4 minutes to play for in the 3rd, this is already a big win for the Nets already!

Irving and Durant both stepped up really big and this are the kind of games/pressure they live for, they're never scared, neither can you talk your way into their performance, James Harden is exact opposite of that tonight, he needs to toughen up tbh, imagine playing the Nets in the playoffs and this is the Harden you'd get ? Man!

When Ben Simons gets back, this Nets team are really going to be terrific!

Nets up by 24 and only shot 7 free throws versus 21 for Philly.  Wherever Harden goes this bullshit way of playing basketball won't work.  Just continually trying to get to the line while not playing basketball doesn't work against good teams.  Hate teams that angle for a zillion free throws they sldeserve to get slaughtered here.  Only half way through the bucket of popcorn....

Suns with the monstrous second half to kill my Heat pick.  

For today, I'm liking the Sixers -4.5 here even though the Nets are somewhat near to their full strength now that they have their key players I still don't think their firepower would be enough to handle the Sixers as they already lost to the Celtics recently. I expect the Sixers to cover and win by double digits unless the Nets are able to hit most of their shots.
