The current point spread now is already -2, meaning money is going to the Cavaliers a bit that's why there's a little change. But it's still up to you to choose the team you like to bet on, if you got the Hawks to win, then that -2.5 with 2.01 is good for you.

The last game they showed complete dominance, let's see if they can do the same against the Cavaliers which has a bigger lineup.

Clippers are at home, on the last few games in the play-in tournament, all the home teams win the game, so probably the fans believe that the Clippers will win as they are the more experienced team. For me, I would take the home team but might reduce the spread to -2.5 just to have a better chance of winning.

PG is in playoff mode, if the Clippers will be more balance, I'm sure they'll win this game.
Also, Ingram was scoring well in the game against the Spurs, this time, I think Morris will do a great job on him.

That is really a sure fact, playoff experience plays big factor when facing other teams because that experience makes the team or player to be more comfortable in a series game and can handle more efficiently, Durant and Irving is good duo and can surely bring the team a success that is also why they are one of the picks in the Eastern Conference to win the championship this season and they might do it.

Same here, both have my support and my favorites but we ain't have a choice now because their spot have selected them to play on the 1st round. This game is really an interesting one because as you have said that Jokic continuously carry them to get in the position they have now while the Warriors bench players is getting impressive throughout the regular season even if their duo is not there to help them. This coming Sunday is their 1st game, so we will see.

I'll just go ML. It can be a close game and a point might make the difference. Also, I am placing a little amount for an overtime. Who knows, I may hit a jackpot.  Cavaliers and Hawks are almost identical if you look at the match up. Garland vs Trae, Mobley vs Capella, Love vs Huerter in shooting range and Markkanen vs Bogdan. Without Collins for the Hawks and Allen for Cavs. This may be one of the greatest games in the tournament if ever they could bring it at a close range game. I will not miss this one. Rooting for Cavs ML.

Lol, I still remember how Trae beat the Knicks last year and it seems they can't get over it because they didn't make the playoffs for this year. And I agree with you that Trae is different in this type of games. However, I'm not seeing how not Mobley and Love can't outmuscle Capella inside. I think either one of them can play defense on Clint, but they need to be wary of Young penetrating and dishing out a lob pass to Clint. And it seems gamblers are 50/50 in this game.

I'm also seeing a very close game here, for the the X factor is still Trae Young. Not even Garland can stop him, and for sure they will employ making them switch those big guys for him for iso plays, maybe we can see his infamous shimmy again that will make the Cavs fans hate him more.  Hawks ML for me. Hawks own the Cavs this season with 3 wins.

I forgot about the adjusting part, maybe I was dragged by the play-in tournament with just 1 win to be in the playoffs.
Yes, sure there will be a lot of adjusting. It's like boxing where they would feel the other opponent first in the 1st and 2nd round but the last rounds will be all instincts.
If Murray comes back, the Warriors will be in big trouble. Jokic had managed to shoulder everything for them and when you add 1 more piece to their puzzle it will become even more formidable. I am a Warriors fan so I'll stick with the splash brothers to do their thing.

Of course, playing on the home court will be a big advantage for the Clippers. However, it is worth noting that both teams have played each other 4 times during the regular season, and the Pelicans were able to win against the Clippers three times in these matches. So I wouldn't be so sure about the Clippers' victory over the Pelicans tonight. Besides, Paul George won't play because he tests positive for COVID-19.

That was a big blow for the Los Angeles Clippers now that they badly need the service of Paul George on a pressured situation like that. Even there are times that they are winning without their superstars this season, it's a different game that they will face and winning is really necessary at all cost.

Los Angeles Clippers have won six of their past eight games with a healthy Paul George in the active roster.

What's the update on the odds? Is the line already moves? If does, lucky those who bet for New Orleans Pelicans Moneyline. Currently in a vacation and I can't access my preferred sportsbook here due to restrictions on the network I'm using here.
