Although I want this to extend but I took that -3.5 handicap in favor of the Lakers considering Wiggins is still questionable too for Game 6 and even if they have him it seems Warriors are not that good on road game and Lakers win all of their home games in this play-in and playoffs games. Draymond was really great during that game 5 though but not expecting it tonight.

I did a Lakers -5.0 @ 2.17 and I'm quite confident that they can cover that handicap as long as they can win the game as every wins from them will be at least 10 point margin. Their moneyline was decent enough too but I took the handicap because of the reason I've mentioned above.

This will be a do or die game for the Warriors and I know they will put their best performance later even if they are not that good on the road. Best of luck gentlemen!

We gotta see that later on then and yeah they can win without him and they are capable with that but that performance he gives on game 5 is something and if they miss him for tonight's game I guess it will have a huge impact to their offense.

The pressure will be on the defending champ tonight and with Lakers on the home game they'll for sure not gonna play without a fight.

Well, if he is really injured then I think they can not do anything about it but I am just saying if he is not available, and yes he is providing the team with huge points and impact that they need but if he is not available what gives, but yeah posterizing Anthony Davis surely have a cost,

Picks for today's game

Miami Heat vs New York Knicks

The Miami Heat will take on the New York Knicks in Game 6 for their Eastern Conference Semi-Finals tonight at Kaseya Center, right now Tyler Herro can not play for the Heat this could be an exploding moment for Jimmy Butler again while Jalen Brunson will surely answer those points of his own, even though he got a 38 points score last game, I think Jimmy can make a difference in this game right now, I think the Heat is now aware of Jalen Brunson got the potential in leading this team so they need to finish this game 6 so my pick is the Miami Heat
Key Injuries: Tyler Herro (hand) is out, for the Heat, - Immanuel Quickley (Ankle) is out, for the Knicks,


Los Angeles Lakers vs Golden State Warriors

The Golden State Warriors will take on the Lakers in Game 6 for their Western Conference Semi-Finals tonight at Crypto.com Arena, Right now Patrick Baldwin Jr. and Andrew Wiggins are questionable if they can play for the Warriors for this game if Andrew Wiggins can not play then they need to rely on any players that have something like Wiggins, and Jonathan Kuminga need to step up his game and prove them he can do it, but yeah the Warriors need to win this for the game to go back at Chase Center while the Lakers will need to finish the Warriors because it is also crucial for them if the game is Switch back to the Chase Center but for now the Warriors will not let that happen, so my pick is the Golden State Warriors,
Key Injuries: Andrew Wiggins (Ribs) is Questionable, Patrick Baldwin Jr. (Toe) is Questionable for the Warriors - Mo Bamba (ankle) is questionable,
Anthony Davis (Head) is Questionable, and LeBron James (Foot) is Questionable for the Lakers,

^ There is no chance that Anthony Davis and LeBron James don’t play. The Warriors are also terrible on the road. I think the Lakers end it tonight and advance to the next round. If they fail to capitalize on tonight and give the Warriors a game 7, I think it will be very bad for LA fans. Tonight we’ll see everything that both teams have and I’m excited for it, but I think the Lakers will win.

Earlier in the week I was with you in thinking Lakers would end it in 6, but with Davis getting hit in game 5 I decided to take the Warriors moneyline tonight. If the Warriors win tonight, they will probably win the series.

**EDIT**

Lakers came out strong and currently killing the Warriors. This game might get out of hand fast.

Congratulations bro if you took that bet, you are a winner today. I want game 7 to happen but from watching what happened today it looks like the Warriors will just fail against the Nuggets even if they win this series against the LA Lakers.
The team of Lebron and AD might have a better chance against them. This will be fun, AD versus Jokic, Lebron versus Gordon. I cannot wait to see it.

1/2 for me.
I was right that the New York Knicks versus the Miami Heat could end in a close battle and my spread was covered with +6 for the Knicks.
Miami Heat will not wait on who will be their opponent for the Eastern Conference Finals. Celtics or 76ers? What do you think guys? My instincts tell me the 76ers will snatch it from the Celtics at TD Garden.

I really can't believe that warriors let their indiscipline get the better of their game plan, despite having a terrible shooting series and rhythm, they still gave up 41 attempts from the Free Throw line to Lakers compared to the merely 14 they had for themselves, of which they made 10 of, with an awful shooting night by their standards, and then allowing an opportunist opponent that many attempts from the line, there is no way you can win an elimination game that by given up such outrageous number of FTs, of all the 6 games series warriors only won the 2 games in which they either had the same amount of the FTA as the Lakers or, just one FTA short from the Lakers numbers, but then the least FTA difference between the 4 games in favour of the Lakers was 20 FTA more than that of the warriors.

I think even at the start of the season, something is not right with the Warriors as they've lost most of their role players. Although they replace some of them, but it was a different breed, unlike like year wherein everyone fit with the system.

And then we have one issues, at the start is the Poole and Green, and later on specially in the series, it seems the that the ego of Poole is very evident and so I'm not surprised that Green punch him. Because we have seen Poole fighting everyone at their bench, so that is not a good sign for me, in my opinion. But they've given him a good contract, so not sure if they want to keep him at the Warriors side or use him now as trade bait.

Yeah, this is where experience does matter. Randle and RJ seem to find themselves in panic mode while Jalen Brunson doing it all felt like I was exhausted more from watching him do it all for the team. That's not right, something must be done on the Knicks team, they don't need a trade but a level up on their confidence must be done. And, Randle must identify what he really is too, a forward or a point guard, he seems complicated. Quentin Grimes will grow, maybe next year they will be different.

Tomorrow, Game 7 Boston Celtics versus the Philadelphia 76ers. 3:30 AM for GMT+8. I don't want to miss the live game but the time is messed up.  I guess I am back at watching the full replay while avoiding the spoilers in my phone notifications.
No handicaps, taking the high risk.
76ers ML - @3.35
Over 198.5 - @1.73
Good luck everyone.
