Yeah, I think if Zion is not going to play, Sacramento got the edge and so that bet is good and I was also go that route as they are now the favorite in that game. Pels are at 1.99 and that is a long shot already.

Los Angeles vs Denver Nuggets - the Lakers are a huge underdog in game 1.

While the Clippers and the Mavs are almost even at this point.

This is the problem of Zion and I think that he's never going to get a title if he's always too prone to injuries unless he teams up with some good players out there that can truly carry a team.

As a Lakers fan, I'm sad that my confidence is quite low if it's against Joker's gang.

Yup, there's  a big difference with the current lineup compared to who they've got last season, though Jimmy, Bam and Herro still rotates the same system but that 3-points productions with Duncan, Gabe and Max that's really works well with how they rotate the ball, and with that last season squad, the confidence is something that blends them well.

Though not done yet for the Miami as they can extend their campaign if they manage to beat the Bulls and who knows, if they managed to upset the Celtics last season we might see another one, though that chance is really slim as Boston's squad improves a lot and with how Tatum and Brown leads the offense, it's really a different competition in case Miami move up for the final birth for the east playoff.

I think they can beat Bulls tomorrow, They almost beat complete line-up sixers even with their incomplete roster while Chicago is much manageable to beat than Sixers that just beat them on a very close game.

Clutch Jimmy Buckets can easily dominate team like Bulls. My concern for them is when they are against team like Boston and Bucks with their current line-up with lack of fire power on 3 points. 

My prediction for Tomorrow is Pelicans and Heat will claim the last spot on Playoffs.

I thought you are a Laker fan? you should believe on them, don't base on the past as this could  be different now. The lakers and Nuggets will still face anyway if they'll not meet in the first round, but this is a 7 game series, a lot of adjustments will happen here and the Lakers have better chemistry this season compared to the last time.

Don't think the the Lakers will lose, they'll compete with the Nuggets as it's the legacy of Lebron is at stake here.

Just calm down, maybe bet on them in game 1, who knows upset could happen.

They need to work things together to fill that last spot, not sure if what and how the Buĺls will try to upset them but it's the last game for both of them if whoever lose the game, everything will be showcase here,  though Miami still got the slight favorite as you mentioned they almost upset the Sixers which is much stronger than the Bulls and maybe with that same system that they are working they can achieved winning their last game.

In west side, I also see the advantages of Kings against the Zion-Less NP, though CJ and Ingram might bring the spark but knowing how Kings playing the game,  they blend so well which is a good advantage against NP.

∆ B. Adebayo 4+ assists D. DeRozan 4+ assists @1.66 ∆  won

Bulls/Heat rematch of last year's play-in elimination game...hard to believe Heat made it all the way to the Finals later that year. I think the Bulls will get revenge today and make their way to the playoffs.

I have Bam and DeRozan's assists. The Heat are without Butler and Rozier, which means they are missing two playmakers. Bam's playmaking duties should see an increase, as the Heat have plenty of catch-and-shoot guys on the team who can benefit from his vision and playmaking abilities. Bam has 4+ assists in both regular-season games against the Bulls this season.

DeRozan led the Bulls with 9 assists (out of 13 potential assists) against the Hawks. Both Caruso and Ayo are banged up. I wouldn't be surprised if he, C. White, and Vucevic all play close to 40 minutes again. DeRozan has gone 4+ assists in all 4 games against the Heat this season.

Updated record 3(W)-1(L)..... 75%

Got it perfect, I  really like when a team got underestimated too much because they don't have their star beacuse they won most of the time, or at least cover the spread. and let's get this going.

1- Cleveland -5
I will continue to trust the Cleveland playing geat at home, the spread is just right, not a trappy one so let's get this one.

2-Suns +1.5
They are the better team for me IMO, their playoff experience will start in this game and if this will be a close game, I think the Suns are gonna steal one game on the road.

3.Lakers+7
Everyone is probably expecting that the Nuggets are gonna win this game easy, I say it's going to be a close game and the Lakers might even win. I think Lebron understands how important is game 1, so expect a very physical game.  Just a side bet but not counting it on my record, I like the under  223.5.

he is happy because probably he still have a chance to play. The godo news is that they are gonna play the OKC which I think the Pelicans have an edge in terms of experience. We've seen their defense, they can do the same with the OKC,  and I feel that it's gonna be a long series.

The absence of Leonard might give the Clippers some problem. If you look at the series betting odds now, it has already flip, the Dallas Mavericks have become the heavy favorite to win. If we think that Mavericks will win, I think they will likely win game 1, and the spread is only -2 for them.
