Betting Line
X2
1,65. If the Spurs win, even if Chicago loses, they secure HCA through the playoffs. I suppose GOS might actually need to lose today just to ensure they finish seventh for that first overall draft pick.😁
Memphis vs Orlando Magic
1
1,25. A win here secures HCA for them, and I don't think Orlando will push too hard for the win tonight given how much Memphis dominates the paint.
Minnesota vs Denver Nuggets
X2
1,25. They'll lock up the 6th seed with a win, and I suspect they'd prefer a matchup against the Lakers anyway.
Boston vs Milwaukee Bucks
1
1,30. With an Atlanta loss, they clinch HCA, and the Bucks seem pretty shorthanded tonight.

Eric Fox7 said:Sure, they could, since they're sitting at 3:1 against the Denver Nuggets

Well, look, I guess I'm not so smart after all. My gut was telling me Atlanta wouldn't be quite the same anymore, though I suppose I have my doubts about whether Dallas actually expects Denver to go out there and pull an upset in Minnesota...

Betting Line: San Antonio wins, Memphis loses.
Now, I’d probably also throw in a double chance on Atlanta or a double chance on the Denver Nuggets. For those of you who really know their stuff, I have a question: could Dallas potentially finish sixth if they pull off a win and Denver slips up? Personally, I think most people would lean toward the Lakers, especially considering how badly they got swept last year. Then again, Atlanta might end up being HCA Healthcare. If there's no way Dallas can land that sixth spot, I guess I'll just put my money on Atlanta.

Here is my plan for tonight:
Cleveland under—just a gut feeling here, I have my doubts they can actually push past the 93-point mark.
Atlanta -8.5, taking the 1-point spread—since Boston’s core four aren't playing, I suspect this should be a fairly comfortable win.
Joe Johnson over 17.5—I think, much like what my colleague mentioned earlier, he won't be repeating that terrible shooting performance.
Parkinson over 17.5
Nowitzki under 23.5
Sacramento under 101.5
Gonzaga under 93.5—given the current injury list, I don't really see how they can clear that number, especially since Dallas is going to have to step up.

stormyseal9 said:I find it difficult to fully agree with that assessment. If you were actually watching the game, you’d see he only managed about 12 to 15 shots while playing roughly 30 minutes. I suppose if it had been an easy night for him, he probably would have attempted another 10 shots, but then again, today he's already looking at over 30 field goal attempts.😉

I didn't catch the game; I just couldn't bring myself to download the replay once I saw the final score this morning. It’s possible they might pull through in overtime, though. I suspect we'll see some scoring from both Wade and Bosh later today.

Thanks, here is what I'm playing today:
James under; he barely went over against a weak Toronto team last night. Today is another high-tension matchup where both Bosh and Wade are returning, and since Deng is also covering for him, I kind of doubt he'll go over.
Monroe over, strictly because Minnesota has so many absences in the paint right now.
Detroit 1X
That's about it for today.

Hands down the best thread on this entire forum. I really appreciate everyone sharing their insights and perspectives here. I woke up this morning seeing $2833 sitting firmly in the green; 14 of my parlays actually hit 😁

Just wanted to share this with you guys. Honestly, that one yellow card cost me a massive win, it's driving me crazy
