NBA Tuesday:
Brooklyn - Cleveland (Over 228.5 (Score 228.5) 1.73)

Brooklyn is in a nice winning streak, Cleveland has now beaten the Bucks so this Play-In Tournament match won’t be easy for either team, but the point is to have 229+ points in a fun match. :D

Heat 10-1 seems like great odds on them to win it all, who do you guys think takes it?

(I like the Suns and Chris Paul to get a ring too)

Boston and the Suns seem like the most consistent teams the whole year.

I like how that Smart fella on the Celtics plays basketball, hard and isn't afraid to take a charge for the team. I like the center for the Suns Ayton game and his positive mentality. Booker is a good scorer as well.

The Heat had too many ups and downs this season losing to mediocre teams when they should have won. This recent drama on the team hasn't helped them either.

Great insight, appreciate it ✅👍🏼

I’m a big Ayton fan too and they have some great Secondary/Bench Centers too in Biyombo & Kaminsky

These two matches may also be tighter because of the one-match system, so I’m expecting fewer points (already compared to the two teams, less points).

NBA Wednesday:
Atlanta - Charlotte (Less than 235.5 (Score 235.5) 1.83)

I don't understand much about basketball:eek::eek::eek::eek:

A game in which 5 players compete vs another 5 players with a round ball a tad bigger than a rubber ball. Each team has a goal with a net on their half of the court. The object is to get the ball in the net of the other team more than they can put the ball in yours. Defense on your half of the court. Offense on their half of the court. Any other questions about the game? I would be glad to answer. :)

NBA Playoff Match 1:
Dallas - Utah (1.m.) (Over 102.5 (Home team - Score 102.5) 1.79)
Memphis - Minnesota (1st floor) (Less than 236.5 (Score: 236.5) 1.77)

From the Mavericks (if Doncic may not play), there may still be a chance of 103+ points in a home game.
In the game in Memphis, I hope for a more fighting clash with less than 237 points.
;)

What about Warriors -6.5? Curry should be back, so Warriors pretty much at full force against Nuggets who are propping almost everything on Jokic

So as it turns out, the Warriors now have a powerful bench to go with a full strength starting roster.. to the point where they have almost too many good players to choose from even for their bench.

I am a Celtics fan as I live in Massachusetts. They can win if they try hard enough. Hopefully they will win some games.

Under valued the power of the three - Curry, Thompson and Green

NBA Tuesday:
Philadelphia - Toronto (2nd) (Over 111.5 (National Team - Score 111.5) 1.73)

I’m confident Maxey will get the throwing chances again and so the 76ers will score 112+ points smoothly.

What's the play for tonight? Are we going with under 221.5 for Suns/Pelicans? I am going to bet on an upset that the Timberwolves will take two games in a row. Bookies seem to be thinking the first game was a fluke and the Wolves money line at 3.3 looks good to me.

Twolves would need everyone to play a perfect game and the Grizzlies to have a bad shooting game. That Mem team is so talented and that Morant fella can shoot a 3 pointer from very deep territory, its scary while on the next play slice past so many opponents to the hoop.

I don't like the Twolves at all and they played very well this year but not against that Memphis team with the talent and team chemistry of Memphis.
