Tips for today

Phoenix Suns at Utah Jazz

Two teams playing for the participating in the playoffs and this match could decide who will have to play in postseason.  The Jazz have a one game lead over the Suns and if they will today they will locked themselves in that 8 seed. And even though Phoenix won their last 5 meetings I think that today if will be a different story.  The Jazz will win, but I don’t want to risk that much and I will bet on scored points. Both teams will score more than 203 points combined.  Both teams are scoring a lot of points and allowing too. I’m telling you this I have a feeling that this game will go to the overtime, but well who would bet on that.

Los Angeles Clippers at Atlanta Hawks

The Clippers need just one win to ensure that they will start the playoffs at home. And I think they will lock that home court advantage tonight in Atlanta. It’s not going to be easy that is for sure, but I think they’ll need it more. And the Hawks will be without Al Horford and Pachulia. I will bet on the Clippers win including overtime.

Miami Heat at Boston Celtics

Miami will play in Boston on Tuesday night and they will without Wade and Bosh (injuries), LeBron James is doubtful he is ready to play, but coach of the Heat cloud rest him and I think he will, because Miami have nothing to play for. There is just a little chance to be first in East, but it depends on the Bull and they will not lose at home against the Cavaliers on Thursday. On the other hand the Celtics will play without Rondo and Allen, but Pierce and Garnett will. The Celtics are still playing for the home court advantage, so I think they’ll win.

My bet

Phoenix Suns at Utah Jazz +203points  -odd 1.85

Los Angeles Clippers win (includes OT) -odd 1.98

Boston Celtics win (includes OT) -odd 1.7

=

6.23 * 5$ = 31.15$ win

Other

Oklahoma will win at home against the Kings.

Not sure how the game in Golden State will turn out, so I won’t be betting on that.

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 NBA games

Atlanta Hawks at Toronto Raptors

After losing day before the Hawks outscored the Raptors in the second half and managed to won 87-109. DeRozan for the Raptors had a game high 22 points.

New Orleans Hornets at Charlotte Bobcats

Expected win for the Hornets even though the Bobcats make the game interesting. Final score: 75-67. Henderson had a game high 27 points.

Philadelphia 76ers at Orlando Magic

The 76ers had a good start, but after the first quarter it was worse and worse. Orlando scored 40 points in the second since that they controlled the game easily. Anderson had a game high for the Magic 26 points and 16 rebounds.

Minnesota Timberwolves at Indiana Pacers

Struggling Minnesota lost again against the Pacers as it was expected without Love. Final score: 88-111. West scored 22 points.

Miami Heat at New Jersey Nets

LeBron carry his team on his back with D. Wade resting. Last 17 points for the Heat in the fourth quarter scored James. He had a game high 37 points and 7 assists.  Close game, but LeBron has won the game. 101-98

Washington Wizards at Chicago Bulls

Without Rose and Deng the Bulls lose to the Wizards 87-84.

Denver Nuggets at Houston Rockets

Close game as expected. Scola had a chance to tie the game but he didn’t connect. After that desperate three by Parsons, but he couldn’t hit that. Not good news for the Rockets, because they are now off the playoffs.  Afflalo had a game high 26 points.

Dallas Mavericks at Utah Jazz

What a game in Utah yesterday. Well the tickets pays out for the fans with triple overtime. The Jazz finish the game a little bit better and grab the win against the Mavericks 121-123. Nowitzki had a game high 40 points. Al Jefferson had a huge double-double 28 points and 26 rebounds.

Portland Trailblazers at Phoenix Suns

Expected and easy win for the Suns. They moved up to that last playoff seat, because the Rockets lose their game tonight. Hickson had a game high 22 points and 8 rebounds. While for the Phoenix Gortat had a team high 20 points and 10 rebounds.

Oklahoma City Thunder at Los Angeles Clippers

The Clippers came out huge in the second half, when they outscored the Thunder 49-25 and won the game. Final score: 77-92. Durant had a game high 24 points.

San Antonio Spurs at Golden State Warriors

Easy win for the Spurs nothing more to say. Nate Robinson had a game high 30 points.

Tips for today

New Orleans Hornets at Charlotte Bobcats 

The league worst Bobcats will host the Hornets. Well I can’t say anything positive about the Bobcats really they’re just bad this season oh wait every season. Team from New Orleans on the other side is showing improvement at home especially, but I think that playing at Charlotte won’t be a problem for them. On top of that their point guard Gordon is back after injury as he scores 18 points last night against the Grizzlies. The Hornets will win.

Philadelphia 76ers at Orlando Magic 

The 76ers will pay their visits in Orlando and they will have a big chance win there tonight. The Magic are without Howard and Turkoglu. They might be even without Davis who steps up when Howard is injured.  Davis left the game yesterday with sprained right knee. So my tip here is the 76ers win.

Denver Nuggets at Houston Rockets

The Rockets will play at home today after yesterday’s loss in Denver. And I think that team from Houston will win this time and will take their revenge at home. They have to with Phoenix behind them fighting for the last playoff seat in the Western Conference.  It will be tough, but the Rockets will win.

Other

The Hawks are coming to Toronto on Monday night. Both teams played yesterday and that match came out better for the Raptors surprisingly for me. Atlanta need their last road win before the playoffs to feel better and more confident. That’s why I think they’ll take their revenge tonight and win.

Utah will host the Mavericks on Monday night. The Mavericks are coming back from the overtime loss against the Lakers yesterday. But in their last three meetings against the Jazz they’ve managed to won all of them. Anyway it’s hard to say who will win this match I have a feeling it’s going to be team from Utah. They are more rested than Dallas and have to try to fight for the last seat in the playoffs. But I won’t bet on this one.

The Suns will try to win at home against the Trailblazers. And they should win if they want to still have a chance to be in the playoffs this season. Well I think they’ll win, because the Trailblazers have lost their hopes to be part of the postseason. My tip: Phoenix wins

The Thunder will in Los Angeles tonight. And it will be very interesting game. Not sure who will take this one as the Clippers won their last meeting in Oklahoma. I won’t bet this one, but I’ve got a feeling that the Clippers will win.

Hard to tell game will be played in San Antonio tonight. Coach of the Spurs can or cannot rest his superstar starters (Duncan, Parker, Ginobili) and that’s why I can’t say on 100% if they’ll win against the Warriors, but I think they can handle the team from Golden State even without them.  

Easy win for the Pacers at home against the Timberwolves. Minnesota is without Rubio and lately even without Kevin Love, he might be out for the rest of the season, as Phil Collins said in his song: “You can’t hurry love (to come back)”. So I think it’s not going to be hard win for the Pacers.

The Nets will host the Heat. Miami is going back after the victory against the Knicks last night. It was like a statement game for them to win on the road against the team like New York Knicks. So I think they will continue in that win again tonight.

The Wizards are coming to Chitown.  The Bulls have back their superstar, NBA MVP Derrick Rose and it should be an easy win for Chicago.

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 NBA games.

Boston visits the Raptors on Friday night. And it was a surprising win for the Raptors. Even though the Celtics had a strong fourth quarter it was just too late. Final score: 79-84. DeRozan had a game-high 22pts.

The 76ers host the Nets and team from New Jersey came out great in the fourth quarter, when they outscored Philadelphia 32-23 and the Nets won 95-89.

Great game for the Hawks at home against the Magic. Orlando without Howard struggles in defense and let the Hawks score 109pts, while managed to score only 81.

Not surprising win for the Pacers when they faced the Cavaliers. Final score: 83-102. Granger had a game high 18pts.

Very easy win for the Knicks last night. As they have beat the Wizards scoring 103 points, while allows only 65 pts.

The Heat won easily at home against the Bobcats. 82-105. LeBron had a game high 19pts.

The Bucks must win game in Detroit. Milwaukee had a great second half and they have managed to score 113 points at the end. Final score: 113-97.

The Hornets proves that they are very good at home. They beat the Jazz 96-85, when they finish the game in the fourth quarter outscoring the Jazz 23-15.

Houston hosts the Suns and it doesn’t went well for the Rockets. After the huge third quarter by the Suns (30-14), Houston just can’t respond to that and they lost 112-105.

The Lakers won at home against Denver. LA again played again without Kobe he missed fourth straight game, but the Lakers are getting better as a team thanks to that. Bynum had a game high 30pts.

And the last game was played in Portland. The Mavericks pays the visit and in a very even game Dallas managed to win in close match 94-97. Nowitzki had 24pts.

Tips for today

Atlanta Hawks at Orlando Magic

Very interesting match will be played in Orlando tonight. Good news for the Hawks, Howard won't play in this game, because of his back. As expected Orlando is weaker in the defense without their superstar center. The Hawks are averaging 52.5 pts in the paint and that should be a game changer for the Hawks and Josh Smith is in very good shape lately, so I think it's not going to be a problem for the Hawks to win in Orlando tonight.

Milwaukee Bucks at Detroit Pistons

If the Milwaukee want to have a chance to be in the playoff, they should win in Detroit. They've missed the chance to get to that 8th position, but the Knicks beat them 107-111. So they now have to try to win everything and must hope, that the Knicks will loss eventually. For this game I'm very confident, that the Bucks will win.

Phoenix Suns at Houston Rockets

The Suns are starting their final run for the seat in the playoffs, but the end of the regular season will be very tough for them. As they will face Utah, Denver and the Mavericks, but before that they will face the Rockets, which are also playing for the playoffs in the Western Conference. And I think that Houston will bounce back after loss to the Jazz. So I will bet this one on the Rockets.

Other

The Celtics will play in Toronto tonight. Team from Boston is in a really good shape lately as the playoff is closer and closer. And this match against the Raptors should not be a problem for the Celtics.

Philadelphia will host the Nets. The 76ers are fighting with the Knicks for the 7th place in the Eastern Conference they are one game ahead. And they will beat the Nets tonight.

Cavaliers are going to the home of Pacers and they won't win there. The Pacers are just too good right now to be beaten by the Cavs.

The Knicks are playing at the Madison Square Garden tonight and they will face the Wizards. After a very important win against the Bucks this should not be and it won't a problem for the New York team.

Easy win for the Heat tonight against league worst Charlotte. This should be a resting game after the loss in overtime against the Bulls.

Not sure how the game in New Orleans will come out. The Hornets will face the Jazz. A little favorite is the team from Utah, but the Hornets are playing very well at home lately, so it's not that obvious to bet this one. It's just 50/50 both teams have suffered from injuries, so I just can't say who will win.

Match in Oklahoma will be a different story. The Thunder won't have a problem win the Kings.

The Lakers will host the Nuggets and the team from LA will most likely play without Kobe Bryant again, but the Lakers showed that it's not a problem to play without their superstar, as they won over the Spurs 98-84. Whole team steps up, Bynum had 30 rebounds and the rest of the players were shooting extremely well. So I think, that the Lakers will win.

Dallas is going to Portland after yesterday win over the Warriors. The Trailblazers are without their superstar  LaMarcus Aldrige for the rest of the season and that is a big blow for Portland. So I think, that defending champs will take this one. But not that much sure to eventually bet it.

Recap of yesterday's games

The 76ers won in Toronto 93-75. Young scored 17pts for the 76ers and Anderson 13pt for the Raptors.

Not surprising win for the Pacers at Cleveland 104-98 in OT.

The Celtics won against the Hawks in overtime 86-88. Rondo once again managed 20 assists.

Interesting match was played in Milwaukee. The Bucks were trying to get the last playoff seat, but Knicks won in very close match 111-107. Anthony scored 32pts for the Knicks and for the Bucks Monte Ellis had 35pts and 10 assists. 

The Grizzlies proves once again, that they are strong at home. They beat the Suns 93-104 with Gay scoring 32pts.

Also the Hornets won at home against the Kings 96-105.

For me little surprising loss for the Rockets at home against the Jazz 103-91.

Close match was played in Oklahoma. The Clippers with strong finish managed to win 100-98. Cris Paul with game winner.

But the Lakers won in San Antonio, so the Thunder are still first in the West. Bynum with 30 rebounds

Nuggets won against weak Minnesota 113-107.

And the Trailblazers won at home against the Warriors 110-118. Crawford with 34pts.
