First of all let me say, that with regular season ending is very hard to predict who will, as teams are resting or not resting and trying to get themselves into a rhythm. Teams who won’t participate in playoffs have no motivation or just a little to win. Because of those reasons I will not be betting in these last two rounds and I will wait till the playoffs starts.  I will write some tips, but only with short explanations or with none. I can promise you that when the playoffs starts I will try my best to get you some moneyJ. And well I don’t like doing this, but if you will click on some adds here I will be glad. It’s of course completely optional a will not have any effect on functioning of my site. I’m planning from time to time choose someone from my twitter followers and give them a chance to bet with my money. If he will succeed I will send him his winning money. Well that’s all I want to say, if you have some questions or something feel free to comment or contact me on twitter.

Tips for today

Cleveland will win at home against the Wizards. Both teams have nothing to play for, but the Cavaliers seem a little bit stronger even though Washington is not playing that bad lately.

Orlando Magic will win against the Charlotte Bobcats.

The Bulls are coming to Indiana and it’s very hard to say who will win, because I’m not sure how many minutes will the starters of Chicago play, same for the Pacers. But I would pick Indiana they most likely don’t want to lose at home before the playoffs.

I’m expecting very even match in New York where the Knicks will host Los Angeles Clippers. The Clippers lost their match yesterday against the Hawks and I think they will do the same in New York today.

The Bucks are out of playoffs while the 76ers are not. Not sure if Philadelphia will rest some of their starters and Milwaukee surely don’t want lose at home at the end of the season. So I think the Bucks will win.

The Nuggets will play at Oklahoma tonight and the Thunder will win.

San Antonio will play in Phoenix and well I really don’t know will manage to win. The Spurs will most likely rest their starters (Duncan, Parker, Ginobili), but the Suns have nothing to play for, as they lose to the Jazz yesterday and are out of playoffs. Maybe the Suns will win or maybe not.

Recap of yesterday's games

Charlotte Bobcats at Washington Wizards

Expected win for the Wizzards against the league worst Bobcats. Final score: 73-101

Detroit Pistons at Indiana Pacers

The Pacers won the game even though they rested some of their starters. Final score: 97-103

Philadelphia 76ers at New Jersey Nets

This was last the game for the Nets in New Jersey, as they are moving to Brooklyn, but without Williams they just can’t win. The Sixers on the other side clinched themselves in the playoffs and can now rest some players. Final score: 105-87

Toronto Raptors at Milwaukee Bucks

The Bucks won, but they will not be in the playoffs, because of the Sixers win. Final score: 86-92

Cleveland Cavaliers at Memphis Grizzlies

Another won for the Grizzlies, as they proved once again how strong they are at home. Final score: 101-109

Portland Trailblazers at San Antonio Spurs

Not surprising win for the Spurs last night. Final score: 89-124

Tips for today

Cleveland Cavaliers at Memphis Grizzlies

The Grizzlies have a good end of the season, because they are facing teams with losing records and the Cavaliers are one of them. Adding to that Memphis is really strong at home, so winning against Cleveland won’t be a problem, but the odds on a winner here are so low. So my tip here is to bet that the Grizzlies won’t win with -12.5 handicap. The Grizzlies are not playing their best against worst teams.

Philadelphia 76ers at New Jersey Nets

Last game for the Nets in New Jersey before they’ll move to Brooklyn and they surely didn’t want to be humiliated by the 76ers in their last match in NJ, but if Philadelphia will win, then they’ll be clinched in the playoffs and I think they will, but it’s not my tip again because of the odds. My tip is that the Nets will score more than 89.5 points even without Williams playing.

My bet

Memphis Grizzlies -12.5 lose  -odd 1.94

New Jersey Nets +89.5 -odd 1.85

=

3.59 * 5$ = 17.95$ win

Other

Well first of all let me say that today the odds are just not worth to bet on winner, so I won’t bother to write something.

Winners in today’s matches: Wizards, Pacers, Bucks, Spurs

I’m sorry that I can’t offer you better tips, but the playoffs are coming so it will be only better.

Recap of yesterday's games

Memphis Grizzlies at Charlotte Bobcats

Not surprising win for the Grizzlies. Final score: 85-80.

Boston Celtics at Atlanta Hawks

Boston without Rondo and Allen lose in Atlanta. Johnson had a game high 30 points. Final score: 90-97.

New York Knicks at Cleveland Cavaliers

The Knicks lost their match in Cleveland and that was kinda surprising for me with Stoudemire playing again. Anthony scored only 12 points and that is a big difference from his 30-35 points. Stoudemire steal his shots and scored team-high 15 points. We’ll see how they will work it out. Irving had a game high 21 points. Final score: 90-98

Golden State Warriors at Dallas Mavericks

Dallas won in Golden State, as it wasn’t that hard to do that. Thompson had a game high 26 points, but it wasn’t enough to beat the Mavericks. Final score:  94-104

Los Angeles Lakers at San Antonio Spurs

Kobe Bryant makes his comeback against the Spurs, but he wasn’t the one who celebrate at the end of the match. The Spurs outscored the Lakers in second half 45-65 and that decided who will win. Bryant had a team high 18 points, but Ginobili, Parker and Duncan combined 61 points. Final score: 97-121.

Oklahoma City Thunder at Sacramento Kings

The Thunder lead all game and won 103-92. Durant had a game high 29 points with 10 rebounds and 7 assists. Westbrook scored 18.

Tips for today

Los Angeles Lakers at San Antonio Spurs

Finally the Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant is coming back and he can’t choose a better time for his comeback. It will be his first appearance in a match against the Spurs in this season. The Lakers and the Spurs played twice and both games went differently. The first one won the Lakers 98-84 in San Antonio and the second one won the Spurs in Staples Center 112-91, as the Parker scored 29 points in the second match and Bynum had a carrier high 30 rebounds in the first meeting. At first I would like to say that this bet is very risky, but I think that the Lakers will win tonight with Kobe in the lineup. Team from Los Angeles kinda maturated without Kobe playing and that is a good thing with ending regular season and playoffs coming up. Adding to that Kobe will be thirsty to play and win, so my tip is that the Lakers will win.

Oklahoma City Thunder at Sacramento Kings

Well the winner here is obvious for me it’s of course the Thunder, but the odds on the win here are low. So my tip here will be on Westbrook. He’s not scored very well in the last two games, as he scored just 9 in a loss against the Clippers and 15 in a win against the Suns. BUT he is scoring very well against the Kings this season, when he’s totaled 55points in their last two meetings and this should and I hope it will be a good chance for him to get on track again before the playoffs.  My tip: Westbrook +23.5 points.

My bet

Westbrook +23.5 -odd 1.85

LA Lakers win -odd 3.07
=

5.68 * 5$ = 28.4$ win

Other

Memphis Grizzlies will play against the weak Bobcats in Charlotte on Friday night, it should and it will be an easy win for the Grizzlies.

The Hawks will host the Celtics tonight. Boston will have to play without Rondo, Allen and Pietrus as they are all injured and didn’t travel with the team to Atlanta and even though they won their last two meetings it will be a different story tonight. Well rested Hawks will win.

Dallas will play at home against the Warriors, which are dealing with lot of injuries. Curry and Lee won’t play for the Warriors and because of that it will be an easy win for the Mavericks. I was thinking there about betting on Nowitzki that he will score more than 23.5 points, but I’m not sure if he will play that much tonight.

The Knicks will play in Cleveland and good news for them is surely that Amare Stoudemaire will be ready to play. Question here is what it will do with Carmelo Anthony's shooting appearances.  Most likely he will score a little bit less with Stoudemire on the court, but we will see. Anyway I won’t bet on Melo scoring and neither on a winner here, because of the odds. The Knicks will win, but it’s just not worth it.

Tips for today

Los Angeles Clippers at Denver Nuggets

Interesting game will be played in Denver tonight. The Nuggets will face the Clippers and it’s going to be a tough one. Won’t be betting a winner here even though I think the Nuggets will win, but I will bet on Afflalo that he will score more than 17.5 points in this game. He’s a good scorer and will be needed in this close match.

Oklahoma City Thunder at Phoenix Suns

Oklahoma is going from tough loss against the Clippers and will try to get their momentum back before the playoffs. The Suns recently beat the weak Trailblazers, but Trailblazers and Thunder is a big difference. Oklahoma will win tonight as they’ve won both their meetings against the Suns.

Utah Jazz at Portland Trailblazers

Utah is trying to get to the playoffs and they should win in Portland tonight. The Jazz lately beat Dallas in triple overtime and they will continue in their playoff push against the Trailblazers, because the team from Portland has lost all their hopes to be in the playoffs. Adding to that, Aldridge and Felton are injured. So it should not be that hard to win here for the Jazz.

My bet

Afflalo +17.5pts -odd 1.80

OKC Thunder win -odd 1.68
Utah Jazz win -odd 1.6
=

4.84 * 5$ = 24,2$ win

Other

The Bucks will win in Washington today, as they are starting their final push for the playoffs.

Easy win for the Bulls against the Charlotte Bobcats, just nothing more to say. 

If the 76ers wants to stay in the playoff seat, than they should beat the Cavaliers tonight and I think they will.

The Knicks will face the Nets after yesterday’s win over the Celtics. New Jersey will be without their superstar Deron Williams; he won’t play because of a sore right calf. Carmelo yesterday managed to get triple double and I think he will continue today with similar stats, as Stoudemire is expected to play on Friday against the Cavaliers, but not tonight. So it will be again on Anthony to carry his team and he will lead them to victory.

Atlanta will host the Pistons today and the Hawks haven’t lost to them at home in 4 years, so I think that this record will continue.

Miami will host the Raptors and it’s going to be an easy win for the Heat.

Orlando Magic will play in Boston on Wednesday night two possible opponents in the playoffs. The Magic will have to play again without Dwight Howard, on the other side Ray Allen won’t play and maybe even Rondo, who injured himself little bit yesterday against the Knicks. No updates if he will or won’t play today. Anyway I think that Boston will win, but this is not a good match for a bet.

The Hornets are going to Memphis and the Grizzlies are very strong at home, so I think it’s not going to be a problem for them today.

Dallas will host the team from Houston. The Mavericks won both their meetings against the Rockets. Houston is now fighting for the playoffs, but lost some games lately and overall they aren’t playing so good. On the other side the Mavericks are not the youngest team and they can be a little bit exhausted after triple overtime against the Jazz. Not recommended to bet on this, but I’ve got a feeling that the Rockets will win.

The Spurs will play against the Kings tonight and they will win this easily.

The Warriors will host the Lakers, which are without Kobe Bryant again. The Lakers lost to the Spurs last night and in those games Kobe is really missing. But even without him they should beat the Warriors, but not a good game for a bet.

Recap of yesterday’s games

Indiana Pacers at Philadelphia 76ers

Close match as was expected. After the 3^rd quarter the game was tied 70-70, but in the last quarter the Pacers scored 32 points, while allowing 27. Final score: 102-97. Granger had a game high 24 points.

Cleveland Cavaliers at Detroit Pistons

Huge win for the Pistons on Tuesday night, one time they have lead by 50. Final score: 77-116. Knight had a game 28 points.

Boston Celtics at New York Knicks

New York played once again without Stoudemire, so Carmelo Anthony has to step up and he did big time with triple-double 35points, 12rebounds and 10 assists, as the Knicks beat the Celtics 110-118. Pierce had a game high 43 points.

Memphis Grizzlies at Minnesota Timberwolves

Struggling Minnesota one again lost this time to the Grizzlies. Final score: 91-84. Both Barea a Gay had a game high 28 points.

San Antonio Spurs at Los Angeles Lakers

Los Angeles Lakers without their superstar Kobe Bryant, well he was on the bench as some kind of assistant of the coach. And the Lakers had shown that they need him on the court even though they get better as a team. While Parker played very well and had a game high 29 points and added 13 assists. Final score: 112-91.

Tips for today

Indiana Pacers at Philadelphia 76ers

Philadelphia will host the Pacers and they are on a good run winning 10 out of their 11 games and are looking for their sixth straight win in Philadelphia today. Team from Indiana is just playing good lately and with such smoothness. On the other side the 76ers are not winning that easily. They lose yesterday against the Magic (which were playing without Howard and Turkoglu). They also lost at home against the Raptors and New Jersey. The Pacers are just looking good now and I think that they’ll win again today in Philadelphia.

Boston Celtics at New York Knicks

Interesting match will be played in Madison Square Garden tonight as the Knicks will face the Celtics. If the 76ers lose tonight, than the Knicks will have a chance to have a lead on that seventh playoff seat. Tyson Chandler for the Knicks might not be on 100% ready. On the other hand big three (Garnett, Pierce, Allen) should be ready on Tuesday night. But the Knicks have Carmelo Anthony and well his performances lately are just amazing. Not sure who will win, but if I have to guess I would go for the Knicks. Anyway I won’t bet on the winner of this match. I will bet on that Anthony will score more than 27.5 points.

My bet
Pacers win -odd 2.3
Anthony +27.5pts -odd 1.85
=
4.26 * 5$ = 21,3$ win

Other

The Pistons will host the Cavaliers. Both teams are out of the playoffs. Irving won’t play on Tuesday night because of injury and even if he did I think that Detroit will win. Both teams are not playing awesome basketball, but the Pistons are a little bit better.

Minnesota will face the Grizzlies on Tuesday night. Marc Gasol won’t play against the Timberwolves tonight, but even without him the Grizzlies should win in Minnesota. The Timberwolves will be again without Kevin Love and they are just not play that good without him. The Grizzlies will win.

San Antonio is going to pay a visit in Staples Center as they will play against the Lakers. Team from LA won their last meeting in San Antonio 98-84 even without Bryant. Kobe won’t play again tonight, but the Lakers are playing good with or without their legend. The Spurs are resting before the playoffs, so it’s not sure how many minutes their superstars will play. Hard to decide here who will win, that’s why I would not recommend betting on this one, but if you must (for any ridiculous reason) go with the Lakers.

Recap of yesterday's NBA games

Miami Heat at New York Knicks

Close match was played in Madison Square Garden last night, the Knicks again without their superstar center Stoudemaire and point guard Jeremy Lin. But Carmelo is carrying his team by himself. He had game-high 42 points with 9 rebounds and 5 assists, but it wasn't enough to beat the Heat. Final score 93-85. 

Dallas Mavericks at Los Angeles Lakers

Kobe Bryant didn't play again as the Lakers faced the Mavericks. But he was on the bench and did a little bit of coaching. And his teammates managed again to win without him playing. Los Angeles Lakers are now  playing more as a team and everyone contributes. The Lakers won at home 112-108 in overtime

Boston Celtics at Charlotte Bobcats

Easy win for the Celtics. Rondo again with double digit assists (16). Final score: 94-82

Toronto Raptors at Atlanta Hawks

For me kinda surprising win for the Raptors. DeRozan had a team high 23 points. Game-high 26 points for J. Smith.

Chicago Bulls at Detroit Pistons

Rose is looked better as he ties the game with his 3 pointer and the end of fourth quarter. In overtime the Bulls scored 14 points while Detroit only 8. Final score 100-94. Rose had 24 points.

Orlando Magic at Cleveland Cavaliers

The Magic still without Dwight Howard are not so good defensively in the paint and that should be the advantage for the Cavaliers with Jamison playing. But this wasn’t the case Jamison had a game-high 21 points, but It wasn’t enough to beat Orlando. Final score: 100-84. Nelson: 21 points and 9 assists.

Portland Trailblazers at Sacramento Kings

Close match in Sacramento yesterday. Thornton hits the jumper with 3.4s to go and the Kings won 104-103.

Memphis Grizzlies at New Orleans Hornets

The Hornets proved again that they're very strong at home, as they beat the Grizzlies 75-88. Gordon had a team-high 18 points. 

Houston Rockets at Denver Nuggets

Same story here. Denver is pretty good at home lately and they won smoothly 86-101. Afflalo had a game-high 20 points.

Tips for today

Dallas Mavericks at Los Angeles Lakers

Interesting game will be following in Staples Center. The Lakers will host the Mavericks. Los Angeles Lakers will be again without their superstar Kobe Bryant. But with or without him the Lakers are playing good lately and I think, that they’ll win today. They are just playing as a team instead of relying on Kobe and that is a good sign before the playoffs. 

Memphis Grizzlies at New Orleans Hornets

Even though the Hornets (not for long Hornets as they were bought by the NFL team owner of New Orleans Saints) are playing good at home lately it’s not going to be enough to beat the Grizzlies tonight. Memphis yesterday beat the Jazz and will continue their good record against the Hornets.

Houston Rockets at Denver Nuggets

Interesting game will be played today in Denver, because the Rockets pays the visits and it will a battle between these two for the seventh place. The Nuggets are 11-5 at home since the February 13. And I think that they’ll win again at Pepsi Center tonight.

Other

The Miami Heat will be visiting tonight in the Madison Square Garden as they’ll face the Knicks. And what a match this is going to be. Miami won both their meetings against the team from New York, but today it could be tougher for them to win. Stoudemire is still out of the game, but Carmelo is carrying his team without any problems. If I have to pick the winner here I would pick the Knicks, but I won’t bet this one.

Easy win for the Celtics today in Charlotte. Rondo will get his double digit assists for the 22^nd time.

Similar game is expected in Atlanta where the Hawks will face the Raptors. This should be an easy win for the Hawks.

The Chicago Bulls will be visiting Detroit. Rose is back in the game and I think that after 1-13 shooting against the Heat, he will get back to his previous rhythm. But even if he doesn’t he has a team behind him, which outplayed the Heat in overtime. So this is a win game for the Bulls.

Good chance for the Cavaliers to beat the Magic tonight. Orlando will be again without their superstar Dwight Howard. The Magic won both their last meetings, but today it can be a different story. Anyway I won’t bet on this one it’s just too close to decide.

Hard to tell game will be played also in Sacramento. The Kings will face the Trailblazers, which are most likely of the playoffs and without their best player LaMarcus Aldridge. I really just don’t now again here.

Recap of yesterday's games

Golden State Warriors at LA Clippers

The Clippers won at home against the Warriors as expected. Team from LA started huge with 12-0 run and just sticks to it till the end. Cris Paul had a game high 28 points and 13 assists.

Cleveland Cavaliers at Washington Wizards

The Cavaliers visits the Wizards in Washington yesterday. And even without their center A. Jamison, they managed to won the game. Final score: 98-89. Harangody had a double-double 16 points and 10 rebounds. Wizards point guard John Wall had a game high 19 points.

Boston Celtics at New Jersey Nets

New Jersey hosts the Celtics on Saturday night. And it was a very even match, but Boston outscored the Nets in 3^rd quarter 26-13 and won the game. Rondo again with double digit assists (15).

Utah Jazz at Memphis Grizzlies

The Grizzlies once again proves that they are very good at home as they beat the Jazz 103-98. Rudy Gay had a great game scoring 28 points with 10 rebounds. Mayo 4-5 from downtown had 20 points.

Oklahoma City Thunder at Minnesota Timberwolves

The Timberwolves didn’t give up this game that easily as I expected, but without still without Love they eventually lose to the Thunder 115-110. Kevin Durant had a game high 43 points.

Indiana Pacers at Milwaukee Bucks

Milwaukee hosted the Pacers last night. Every game for the Bucks are now must win games as they fight for that last playoffs seat, but the Pacers were against. Final score: 105-99. And the Bucks are now 2.5 behind the Knicks.

Phoenix Suns at San Antonio Spurs

Easy win for the Spurs yesterday as the Suns didn’t play well. Final score: 91-105. Tim Duncan had a double-double 19 points and 11 rebounds.

Tips for today

Cleveland Cavaliers at Washington Wizards

Both teams are off from the playoffs; together with the Bobcats are those teams worst in the league. Yesterday Wizards suffered a big loss against the Knicks. Washington played in New York and scored only 65 points. And I think that they will make it up for it today and will beat the Cavaliers. They will have to play without Irving again who is averaging 18.8 pts. In the last meeting Wizards won 101-83 and will win again today.

Indiana Pacers at Milwaukee Bucks

Well this is hard one to guess. The Bucks are fighting for that last seat in the playoffs after loss to the Knicks. They just have to win everything now and have to hope, that the Knicks or Philadelphia will lose. But and this is huge but the Pacers are really, really good. They have won their last meeting by 21 points in Milwaukee. The Pacers will play in the playoffs that is for sure so there is much lesser pressure on them, but they will try now to secure home court advantage in the playoffs. As much as I sympathize more with the Bucks I think they’ll lose.

Other

The Clippers should win at home against the Warriors. Team from Golden State lost their 10 of 12 matches and today it will be another loss for them, even though the Warriors won in their last two meetings.

Even though Boston will play in New Jersey, they should win here. The Celtics lost their game in Toronto yesterday, when they didn’t respond fast enough. But I think that today they will win against the Nets.

Memphis will host the Jazz tonight and they will continue in playing good at home. They are looking for their seventh straight win at their arena. Zack Randolph missed their last meeting, when the Grizzlies lost. And he can be a game changer here with helping his team to defend the Jazz center Al Jefferson. That’s why I think they will win.

The Thunder is going to Minnesota and it should be an easy win for Oklahoma. The Timberwolves are not playing great and by that I mean, that they are just bad now.

Not saying that the Suns don’t have a chance today in San Antonio, but I think that Gregg Popovich’s team will win. The Suns won yesterday in Houston, but the Spurs are much bigger opponent.

Note: very strange games will be played today. Some obvious games with low odds or very even teams are playing. And I don’t want to the risk, so I won’t be betting today.
