NBA Playoffs

[ofred]

I got Memphis at 6.5, but now it's dropped to 6 in many places. Wish I had waited, but still think Memphis is a very good play.

1.6* Phoenix. -3.5 1H
1.5* Phoenix -6.5 This looks like a buy low opportunity on the Suns. Despite Booker being out, they are a better team than what they have showed so far. Their strong D has caused them to put the Pelicans at the foul line too often, but I think they'll make adjustments to improve that. If the Celtics can stifle Durant's effectiveness for 4 games, the Suns should be able to do the same to Ingram. And Ayton is due for a great game. This is a must win for Phoenix. as they do NOT want to risk a loss in NO in a game 6.

These Miami/ Atlanta under plays are like free money. I should kick myself for not playing it at 2* each.

Thank you for these great calls!!! Well done man, most people I knew were on Pels + the points. Way to pick the Suns tonight. And great job on the Mia/Atl unders, too bad serious is over lol

Congratulations on another outstanding evening Fred!

Phoenix win was sweet, Memphis loss disappointing. Their free throw shooting and 3 point shooting was awful...until late. Oh well, good day overall.

1* Milwaukee -12 (-116)
1* Milwaukee -7 (-119) I know, with Lavine and Caruso out, everyone will be on the Bucks. Playing semi-conservatively. Still, Milwaukee has played this series poorly at home, and you'd think they'd be appalled at the thought of going back to Chicago for Game 6. Caruso's defense and leadership will be missed.

Not sure about the late game.

Going to play about a 1/2 unit on Warriors 1H -5.5. If they get behind, will play full unit on a LIVE play. No minutes limit on Curry.

Forgot to denote 1H for the -7. I'm sure most figured it out.

Congrats!!! Thanks again. Great calls.

Congrats!!! Thanks again. Great calls.

Shoulda played it larger.

1.6* Philly/Toronto- under 108 1H For Thursday, this play stands out most of all. Likely going to play 1Q too. Playing with lots of house money, and these 1H/ 1Q under bets can't be this easy, but until I see a trend going the other way, it seems like almost every NBA team is playing a different game in the playoffs. Getting a good look for a shot is SO much harder.

1.4* Dallas +1 Donovan Mitchell, IMO, is easily the key guy on this Jazz team. And I know that he is good to go for Game 6 with his injury. But I doubt he is anywhere close to his best for what could be an elimination game. With this being an elimination game, what does he have to lose? But really, Mitchell could be a detriment to his team if he is far from 100%. He looked to be in a lot of pain while leaving in the tunnel. I like Dallas anyways for a number of reasons. Doncic being out and Dallas playing well, and now him back, is one. Utah relies on 3s, so if they are hot, well....Will play Dallas Game 7.

I played GS 1H as well. Wish I had known Curry was going to start. Any tinkering from previous line ups never works out. If he had come off the bench the same mojo would have continued. It was working for them so not sure why Kerr changed it. Now they are in a dog fight and Den will hang in to the end. Wouldn’t be surprised if Den won SU. MOB always told us to be careful of lines closing at 9. Raps won SU on Monday as a 9 point dog on the road. I can see Den doing the same. Played Den +6.5 and ML +250 2H. The line up tinkering will come to haunt Kerr.

1.6* Dallas +1

Good luck on the plays tomorrow.

1.2* Phoenix -2 I must be a little nuts taking two road teams playing opponents facing elimination. However, I still think that the Suns are the team to beat in the West, even with Booker still out. The Pelicans have had a nice run, and being at home facing elimination, they'll be a tough opponent. The Pelicans' flaws just seem more obvious than the Suns'. Phoenix has the better 1-8 rotation, the more athletic defenders on the perimeter, and still could get more from Paul and Ayton in this series.

Yesterday pretty much a wash.

1.3* Minnesota +.5. 1H. Won yesterday with both road teams(Phoenix and Dallas), but not to sure that'll happen here. The T Wolves blew that big lead Game 3, but it didn't dampen their level of play. After their players only meeting, I think they come out playing well at home facing elimination. Memphis IMO still wins the series, but for the 1st half, the T wolves win. And they have played pretty well 1st halves in this series and in the play-in.
