    Then we have Nets and Nuggets at the 3-1 starting position do they push a game 7 and do they win?

    So that is a YES on Nets & No on Nuggets.

    Today we have Celtics & Rockets in same situation.

    hey guys i guess this would apply to people who are leaning houston today as i am. right now they are offering series win houston +600.

    if you think houston wins today you might want to take the series win instead of the game, this way game 7 you bet okc for $200 and either be up $100 if okc wins or +$400 if houston wins. 

    this is what i have done as i believe houston wins today. 
    i am also debating this play - since i have houston series at 100 to win $600 and the line is only -1. i will play okc to win for $100 today. if they lose, then bet okc again next game for $200. 

    so if houston wins i win $300 and if okc wins today or next game i am at break even. or you can even bet gm 7 okc for $300 so if okc wins you win $100 and if houston wins you win $200 for garantee profit.

    this play is assuming if houston wins today the line at okc will be -1, -2 max.

    this is what i have done as i believe houston wins today. 
    i am also debating this play - since i have houston series at 100 to win $600 and the line is only -1. i will play okc to win for $100 today. if they lose, then bet okc again next game for $200. 

    so if houston wins i win $300 and if okc wins today or next game i am at break even. or you can even bet gm 7 okc for $300 so if okc wins you win $100 and if houston wins you win $200 for garantee profit.

    this play is assuming if houston wins today the line at okc will be -1, -2 max.

    This is a really great strategy to guarantee profit.  But, only thing that worries me is the line for game 7.  What do u think it'll be?  Game 5 at OKC was -8.5.  I think its safe to assume it will be lower than that for game 7.   But if lower, do u think it'll go down all the way to -1 or -2?  The line will determine how much u can middle and if there really is a profit to be made

    i really cant see the line being more than -1, -2. the rockets only got blown out in game 1. game two even with westbrook okc barely escaped. if the line in gm7 is okc -5 or more i am definitely going to take houston plus pts. except for game 1 and the first qtr of game 3 houston has played okc pretty evenly. i would not be surprised if they win the series. its obvious their strategy of trying to shut down durant is working. someone has to show up for okc, but who? can k-mart explode with 3's? can ibaka put up pts? can jackson do more than he is? i think if anyone can have a big game shooting it can be sefolosha but he hasnt showed anything to this pt. 

    i knew westbrook was important and alays laughed at people who hated on him, but i didnt realize okc is this inept without him. if houston just had 5% better defense this wouldnt even be a series. which is amazing to say.

    I applied a similar theory to Nets and Nuggets yesterday- One won and the the other lost- net net still made money. Last night I also set up a bet like this as part of parlays (small parlays). Today I will be exploring a similar Idea with Clips- by picking the series for Grizz and the ML of Grizz- still have not worked out the numbers. I also did the rockets very early this morning as part of parlay because i think the series holds value- Another way to play this also is to start looking at who could win the west because I think it is wide open.

    That is the wild card- the line will most likely be in the 6-8 range- the books wont make it easy as to make it close to pk

    Cmcmahan 2-0

    ATL Hawks -1.5

    MEM Grizzles -6

    Staying away from the media-hyped series tonight.  Easy to get sucked in to all the stories and usually doesn't go well for me when making picks.

    Hawks - pacers series has been all about home court advantage and I don't see that changing tonight

    Grizzles are playing with confidence and they are not gonna let a chance to close out this series at home go to waste.  Plus griffin, if he plays, won't be effective enough to make a difference

    NY Knicks TT over 91.5

    IND Pacers +1

    HOU Rockets -1

    I think this is time for the Knicks to get their offense together. This is not embarrassment anymore for the proud Celtics. I am sensing a huge offensive performance by the Knicks at the Garden tonight. Both Celtics wins happened due to Knicks horrible shooting. They should be turning it around tonight.

    All signs point to Atlanta here and you really have to wonder why the spread is only -1. To me it should be at least -2.5 or -3 based on what happened on the last two games in Atlanta. Its almost too easy to pick Atlanta here and that is why I am going the opposite way. There is an RLM also on this game. Spread went from -1.5 to -1 even though there is more money on Atlanta. Something just does not match up here. Indiana to finally win in Phillips Arena

    Another RLM here Houston started +1, currently -1 even though more money on OKC. Game 7 on Sunday night would be great for the NBA entertainment business. Harden with a chance to eliminate his former team at their house. Great seller. Houston clearly is playing so much better without Westbrook in there. Unless Durant and Ibaka have a superhero performance there is no reason why Houston shouldn't win this home game.

    SunsDevils 10-2 (43-40)

    NY Knicks -2

    Anthony and Smith couldn't play any worse than last game and it was still close. Short turn around time for the old Celtics team. They are just not as good as the Knicks, who definitely thought that the Celtics would just roll over. That wasn't the case, of course, and Knicks will be focused tonight. Just saw another stat saying that only 3 teams in 103 tries, being down 0-3 were able to force game 7.

    fade public friday

    public been getting murdered since day 1 of playoffs. and i see it tonight as well.

    note to amateurs here, pick your poison. u dont fade all plays.

    celtics +3

    in game option: as soon as nyk is up 9or 10, lock the celtics at +6.

    also, game will have a slow start. take over when u see totals at 173. public all over under



    I don't know where you see that the public is getting killed. I started posting every night a recap and that's far from being true. Unless the sites that I use post incorrect numbers.

    I don't trust Covers either. User pregame and sports&odds. Those were average numbers between the two sites.
