Thank you.

3-4 games left guys. Put your bets because it will be a difficult decision when the playoffs starts. 
Bulls on their 3rd winning streak (29 wins) and trying to tie with the Wizards (32 wins) but if they lose this one, then that's it.
Wizards will have their place for the play in tournament and will battle with the Pacers or the Hornets if ever there will be changes in the rankings.

My pick.
Chicago Bulls versus Brooklyn Nets - Nets -3.5 Yes, I think the Nets will end this now.
Over 230.5

I'm not surprised actually, Spurs has been playing well against the Bucks this season, they may have lost last time but they cover on the spread.
As you can see, they are 1-1 this season.  https://www.landofbasketball.com/head_to_head_gl/bucks_vs_spurs_game_log_season.htm

What if the Spurs will upset a favorite in the playoffs? do you think they are capable of winning against the top teams?

I guess I'll continue to bet on the Spurs in their remaining games.

Crazy night indeed, lost for me, but just part of the game.

I didn't watch the game, busy day, San Antonio though was a big surprised. Anyhow they are still fighting for a slot that's why they gave everything against the Bucks, 6 players with 19 or more to give that huge lead for the Spurs.

That was almost a heartbreak for the Warriors as they allow the Jazz to come back, unfortunately, Clarkson has gas out in the end and it was Curry who ends up the night with a win. It was a great game, Warriors were in control but the Jazz is too dangerous as a team, I can feel the playoff atmosphere already.

Congrats on your win, that's another good run by you.

Looks like the Pelicans came through and lost the game to keep the tank alive but covered the spread to keep their betting fans happy. Sort of what I thought might happen but I didn’t have any money on the line. I feel like late season NBA gambling is more about knowing the politics than picking the better team…

My goodness, thank you Steph for saving my bet. Clarkson was suddenly on the spotlight with a red hot shooting zone. He recovered quickly from 0-8 three point line shooting until the 3rd quarter to becoming the dagger on the 4th giving the Jazz a 20-7 run and a lead by 2. He's getting better if given the minutes and stepping up whenever Mitchell and Conley is out.
Gobert made a mistake last minute of the game not following Draymond and he paid for that with a pick and roll for Steph Curry, giving that dude a little space is dangerous. 

Cheers everyone!

A crazy night you'd agree, yeah ? Spurs got completely out of control and they just couldn't stop.

Over to the game of the night, wow! Ever lost a bet, but felt like you just saw a great show for your money ? Jazz with this energy will still be the team to beat in the post season and if the odds should be worth I'll definitely be riding on the train.

I'm tailing this one, hope you start another winning streak mate.

Wizards without Beal vs Hawks, I think Atlanta can cover -7.5.

San Antonio vs Bucks line now is -6-5, still good for me though. Goodluck to all of us.

I've got a few plays centered around Indiana today! Things can get ugly for me if Cavs decide to show up and end their 10-game losing streak, but let's hope they don't. They have so many missing dudes (due to injuries or simply resting players), the lack of desire to move away from 21 wins on the season should help too.

Pacers ml + Sexton 20+ pts + O213.5 @1.62 lost (by a point on the over)

I went over Sexton's point streak yesterday, won't do it again, 20 points a game is a lock. I'm not sure Pacers will catch Hornets for the 8th seed, but they can at least try. As for the over, both teams are giving up a lot of points (last 3), and the Pacers are a fast-paced, high-scoring team on the road.

Sabonis 6+ assists + LeVert 20+ points @1.62 won

Without Brogdon in the lineup, everything goes through either Sabonis or LeVert, scoring, playmaking, assists you name it. Sabonis had 13 assists against Washington the other day, i'm looking for half of that today. I expect LeVert to be extremely motivated, he fouled Westbrook for those fts, and his game-winning 3pt attempt was blocked, so he's got to be a little bit pissed about that. He had 30 fg attempts in that game, please take as many as you like today...lol

Pacers -5.5 1st Half @1.85 lost

Maybe a little risky, but considering the Cavs played last night, they have to be tired, all the missing players and the fact that the Pacers like to run mad, that fast tempo could catch up quickly with the home team.

The pelicans vs grizzlies matchup tonight presents some interesting gambling aspects. With the pelicans trying to tank for a higher draft spot and the grizzlies set for the play in tournament, you have to suspect the grizzlies might be resting a bit for the play in tourney expecting the pelicans to not bring their best. The huge spread might come into play here. With the pelicans not trying to win though I’m not sure if they can even stay within 9 of a semi-resting grizzlies team. Thoughts?

I don't know if betting against a desperate warriors with Curry being red hot is good, but the spread looks good for the Jazz, I would have opted for the Over 225 instead, but I really don't trust Jazz to facilitate an high scoring game.

I'll be riding with the -2 on Jazz as well.

I'll also be putting a little on the Bucks -6.5 against San Antonio Spurs

My pick.

Game: Jazz vs Warriors.

This is going to be an exciting game as the Warriors need a win here.
Jazz is still impressive even without Mitchell and Conley and I think they are the better team here.

Therefore my pick is Jazz -2 on the road. Good luck everyone!

Both wins if you place your other bet for LA , Davis shows his monstrous game carrying the Lakers.

So amazing seeing him as healthy as this, with the back up of all the players who played around him. Seems they are now back in shape and ready to make some damage before the playoffs.

Imagine them playing like this then add LeBron chasing for another title.. Congrats!

Wizards for tomorrow.
This is the time. Will Westbrook break the all time high triple double of Oscar Robertson or will he be resting for a bit to break it next game? 
Atlanta Hawks versus Washington Wizards
Wizards +6.5
Over 234.5
Beal is out due to that injury last time they fought against the Pacers or he is just exhausted.
But I am still rooting for the Wizards to at least cover the spread. Cheers and good luck.

If you did follow the bet, we won this game. After a loss, I bounce back with an easy win.. congrats to us all and to all winners last night.


This would also give you  a big win if you bet on this, your prediction is perfectly correct.

Finally, another perfect win.
Thank you stadus for that tip at Sacramento Kings versus OKC. I should've followed all the way but I put it in a safer spread at -7.5 only.
Doesn't matter, a win is still a win. I had the thought that OKC will fight back just like how they did with Pacers and Raptors, that is why.

Without Jerami Grant they can't find a better option to fight back. Vucevic ate them below the rim. Cheers!

With the better two games already completed, what we have left to cap are some garbage ass matchups excluding the Lakers and Suns. I know this is a letdown spot for me after a couple of extremely good days in a row, nonetheless, let's give it a shot:

Wolves ml + Bulls ml @1.60 won

Wolves have shown signs of life in the last month or so, with some solid wins over really strong teams and overall good performance/effort, whatever you want to call it. Bulls are three games behind the Indiana (on the loss column) with five games left, and while they are unlikely to make the play-in, they are the better team against the Pistons, who already got one win this week...they are not allowed to have more than one per week, or they might lose the last seed in the East.

Sexton 20+ pts + O202.5 + Mavs -2.5 @1.73 won

Mavs and Cavs last met two days ago in Dallas, with Mavs winning by 20 pts. I expect this to be a high-scoring game, probably not as easy as the first one but Doncic and co need the win, they will be one step closer to clinching the 5th seed in the West. As for Sexton, he has scored 20 or more points in 16 of Cleveland's last 17 games.

OKC is out in the playoff chance, while Kings still has. They are rank number 12, just a few wins away from the number 11 and number 10.. so I think they will play harder and win this game with dominance. I agree with the pick and I will follow it, and just like @boltz, I'm also finding another game where I can put my money just to add more entertainment. I'm thinking of the Suns vs LA Lakers game. maybe Suns would give this win to the Lakers, who knows... maybe they'll rest their starters.

Good pick overall with Kings-9 and the odd is really good and I'm thinking to combine this with Bulls -8 as like you mentioned OKC is bad team but they are also in full re-construction this year so taking Kings is the good decision and on Bulls they really need to win most of the remaining games to secure that last spot of play-offs because Wizards are looking strong lately.

My pick.

Game: OKC vs Sacramento Kings.

Kings will have to win this game, and hopefully, they will cover the spread.
OKC is official a bad team this season, and since they are 1-9 in the last 10 games, I think they'll easily lose in this game and will be dominated like what the GSW did to them. Therefore my pick is Kings -9
