I am 2-0 last night, winning on Blazers and Heat, will my win streak continue? let's find out.  Smiley

Game: Lakers vs Suns. (game 1)

I now again bet against the Lakers, it's not that I hate them, I just don't see Lebron and Davis fully healthy yet and I like to think that Suns will get game 1 of the series, therefore my bet is Suns -2.5.. good luck everyone!

It would be better if you will put your bet in a sportsbook, it's safer for you.
here's one of the sites that offer a series betting, https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/basketball/usa/nba/nba-60619e1fb94a977c3192ea9a

Yes, Wizards loss but covered the handicap.

That’s tempting. I can’t believe how hard Ayton dominated the boards on Drummond. That’s not what I expected to see at all. Lakers are going to have to come up with an answer for Ayton or this series could get ugly for them. My hometown team getting it done this year!

Let’s see how game 2 goes and if you still want to make a bet we can talk.

Not surprised to see the Lakers go down in gm1, they had a few good minutes while Chris Paul was out of the game with that neck injury, other than that, a routine win for the Suns. I seriously don't remember when they last won a playoff game, good for them, but series is far from over.

I'm also curious to see what changes Lakers will make for gm2. I'd rather see AD at the five so they can get more spacing/shooting on the floor, as well as go after Ayton and get him in foul trouble or something, this dude low-key destroyed them today.

I've got a few tickets lined up for the Knicks/Hawks game which starts in a few:

Knicks +7.5; U227.5; Young 15+ pts @1.72 won

I'm leaning towards the Knicks to win, but gm1's could sometimes be unpredictable, so playing it safe. The last game between these two was a high-scoring affair, i expect the opposite today, as both teams are top five in oppg and defensive efficiency (last 3), and both coaches preach defense all the time. As for Young, stars always like to play at the Mecca, 15 ain't shit for him.

I've got two more player-prop bets on each team: 1^L and 2^W

edit; one assist short from RJ to get all three down....the way this game went, i could totally see a seven-game series.

Booker dominated them on the offensive end while Ayton on the defensive end.
This team ain't even complete and yet they look very strong against a superstar-filled Lakers.
Lakers should beware of Booker if he gains more confidence, he could be the dagger that will close out this series with his shooting skills.
This may be his first playoffs but damn, he was on fire.

Fast tweet from whoever manages the 76ers Twitter account with their good news. Wizards fought back but lack the firepower to equal against them.
Knick ML pick while Hawks at 8 points lead.

By the closest of the margin. 3/3 for me so far, but I will skipped the rest of the games for now.

Haven't watch the Lakers vs Suns (good pick again by @stadus), but my twitter feed is exploding with Drummond and it seems he was out muscled by DA? or he is occupying too much space in the middle? And he didn't contribute in Lakers lost to the Suns?

That second quarter run shifted things for Memphis real quick and got a nice cheeky live bet during that moment. Jazz did their best but still not enough, props to them for keeping the game close at the very end though. And Memphis needs to work on closing out their games much cleaner because even with that double digit lead it got chunked down by the Jazz like it's nothing. If that game went to overtime the Jazz probably had it in the bag.

Yeah, I was expecting him to fill the need of Jazz for offense with Bogdanovic but he can't make those threes. 0/8 at long distance and his worst game of the season. Credits to Jonas Valanciunas too for giving Gobert a hard time below the rim. Good start for the Grizzlies.

Bucks versus Heat tomorrow paired with Nuggets versus Trail Blazers.
My pick is Heat +6.5. They'll force their way to steal one game in Fiserv Forum. Cheers to the winners today.
@Natalim its 1.68.

Booker really have that touch! he's deadly when he feels the rhythm, good for him as he now have CP3 who can manage to work with him.

If Lakers unable to make a tighter defense against this two superstars and allow them to keep hitting their shots, it will be the end of their quest defending their title.

Adjustment for all those teams who losses their first games and new plays for those who won, expect more entertaining games from this ongoing playoffs.
