I think Jokic would be the clear winner but Embiid hasn't been recognized so will probably get it.

Incredible Lakers recovery, they will get 6th place

what a great game we have tonight in LA. I hope the Lakers win and get a direct berth to the playoffs.

I saw this and was inspired to bet Clippers +2, Westbrook O17.5 and Leonard O27.5.

Well, the Clippers ended up being too dominant across their ranks so that neither Westbrook or Leonard hit their overs. Such is sports betting sometimes.

Orlando is still hunting for a place in the playoffs and should win today against the Cavs, who are already advancing (playing without Mitchell, Garland, Allen) ... let's just say the betting offices don't even pay much for the Magic to win.

That was surprising. 😂

The closing day will be interesting in the NBA with round-robin broadcasts of the Western Conference games, because the last two playoff spots have not yet been decided here, the Pelicans and the Lakers can move up from the Play-In spot to the playoff spot, and the Warriors and the And the Clippers could slip from a playoff spot to a Play-In spot.

 

[3Hancock]

Durant returned Phoenix will fight for the ring confidently think!

 

[ADRI7HO]

It looks like everyone in the Suns will play in the Play Off against the Clippers, so I expect the Suns to advance.

 

[knutwuchtig]

whats that, dallas mavs perhaps lose their last game intentionally to get better draft next season?
i loved the mavs because of dirk , but thats scandelous for me.

 

[ADRI7HO]

The Play-In starts today, as the betting offices also think, with the success of the Heat and the Lakers, I think.
But anything can happen in a one match duel. 🤓

LA Lakers -8.5 @ Home vs Minnesota - Lakers have gelled as of late - Playoffs looking good for this squad after trade deadlines

LA Lakers/Minnesota UNDER 233 - UNDER is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings

 

[ADRI7HO]

Miami lost by surprise, they were just looking for it the whole game themselves, they had good moments but Atlanta deservedly and won confidently.
I haven't watched the last two minutes of the Lakers match game yet ...

What a tough game this Lakers was yesterday. Anyone with a heart problem has suffered.

The Lakers won after overtime in a very tough game. It really wasn't for Lakers fans with heart problems.
The Lakers' next opponent will be Memphis.

 

[ADRI7HO]

The Play-In matches so far have been excellent, I'm looking forward to the continuation.
Unlike the odds, I don't consider the thunder to be an underdog against the timberwolves, and the bulls are not an underdog against the slightly exhausted heat.

Tuesday (1-1) -$10 Overall NBA (17-14) +$160

Friday April 14th, 2023 -

Miami/Chicago OVER 209 - OVER is 5-2 in last 7 meetings in Miami

Chicago +5.5 @ Miami - Bulls are 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings in Miami

 

[ADRI7HO]

I hope the Bulls win .
At the betting offices, Miami is the towering favorite, but if they play like they did against the Hawks, it will be little against the Bulls.

The regular season is almost over and there are three candidates for the MVP title, for me Jokic is the absolute favorite, who averages a triple-double as a center, he should be MVP, but it looks like Embiid is the most likely for the betting offices, which would also be an understandable decision because he had an excellent season run !!! but a Center Triple Double averages the HUGE WOW !!! I am eagerly awaiting the final result.

If Nikola Jokic wins the Most Valuable Player award, it will be his third win in a row, as he also won MVP in 2021 and 2022, and this is really impressive. It's very difficult to keep this level of play for three years in a row, but to be honest, I think Joel Embiid will get the award because he is also having one of the best seasons in his career.

It is certain that both of them deserve the title of MVP, so whichever one of them gets it, they will be in a good place.

Hi, what a great NBA season. Very interesting and unpredictable.
I'm happy for Atlanta, they deserved a spot in postseason.
I was rooting for Timberwolves, but they lost their 15 points lead, KAT was too tired in 4th quarter and overtime, Edwards played terrible. Slo-mo Kyle Anderson played very good. I hope they'll beat OKC tonight but it will be very close. Also I hope Chicago beats Miami tonight. Miami is such a boring team. But I like their announcer: "And now staaand up and make some noooise... for your Miaaaaamii Heeeaaat!"

 

[ADRI7HO]

The Bulls were exhausted in the second half (now Miami played much more convincingly than in the previous game), and OKC simply could not keep up with Minnesota.
OKC is a young team, and as many draft picks as they have, they will be a factor in the fight for the title in a few years.

The Bulls sure were. Both dogs yesterday ran out of steam and season over.
