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

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.

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

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.

Tips for today

Philadelphia 76ers vs Toronto Raptors

Yesterday 76ers played in New Jersey and they won. Today they're going to Toronto. The 76ers are fighting for the spot in playoff, even though they're on the seventh place Knicks and Bucks are behind them. These three teams will fight for playoff until last match. Bargnani for the Raptors could be missing and that's very good news for the 76ers. I think, that they will beat the Raptors today.

Atlanta Hawks vs Boston Celtics

Both teams are in a really good shape lately and their form for the playoff is at the right level. Can't say who will win, but I will bet for high scoring game 179+pts. Both have a good shooting percentage lately and managed to score a lot of points.

Utah Jazz vs Houston Rockets

Rockets recently beat both Lakers and Bulls and if they want to stay in the sixth place they should beat the Jazz. Next five games will be crucial for the Rockets today they will face Jazz, than Suns and on Sunday they  are going to visit Denver. Good news for the Rockets is that Kyle Lowry is back and after comeback he shot 5 of 6. They also improved their defense and even though the Jazz beat the Spurs (without Parker, Duncan and Ginobili) it's not going to be a winning game.

Other

The Pacers are going to Cleveland and it shouldn't be that hard to win here with the form both teams have. The Pacers play with calm and high percentage of scoring and because of that and not so good Cavs it's not going to be a problem for Indiana.

Huge game will be played in Milwaukee tonight. The Knicks are visiting after yesterday loss against the Bulls. Both teams are fighting for that last spot for the playoff and this will be the important one. As Carmelo Anthony said: "It's probably one of the biggest games of the season for us. We've got to be ready." I don't know who will win, because it's going to be a tough one. If I have to choose I would pick Bucks, but it's simply my feeling.

The Suns are going to Memphis and it's not easy to win there. The Grizzlies have a very good defense and they're not allowing much points for the visitors. That's why I think that Memphis will take this one.

Another even match will be played in New Orleans. Western Conference worst teams will play each other. Not sure again who will win, that's why I'm not betting this one. But the Hornets showing some improvements at home and I think they will prove that once again and will beat the Kings.

The OKC Thunder will host LA Clippers and they will win at home. They have to win to be still at first place ahead of San Antonio which is playing with Lakers tonight. Anyway Oklahoma will win.

Like I said San Antonio will host the Lakers tonight. Not sure if the biggest stars of the Spurs will play, but something is for sure Kobe Bryant will miss the third straight game. It's very hard to say who will win because of these things, but since San Antonio is playing at home I will choose them.

Minnesota is going to Denver and Timberwolves are not enjoying their last games. Kevin Love look exhausted to carry his team every game, so I think it's not going to be that hard for the Nuggets to beat them. 

And Portland Trailblazers should win at home against the Warriors even though start of LaMarcus Aldridge is questionable.

Recap of yesteday

The Orlando lost their match in Washington 85-93. Their biggest star Dwight Howard wasn't on the court, because of injury. Wizards player Seraphin has double-double with 24pts and 13 rebounds. Nelson on the other side has 19pts and 7 assists.

The Celtics won in Miami with Wade on the court 115-107. The Heat struggles in the first quarter when they allowed to the Celtics 33pts while scoring 22 themselves. Rondo proves that he's now one of the best point guards in the league, 15 assists for him. LeBron James scored 36pts but it wasn't enough to win.

Not so surprising victory for the Cavaliers against the Bobcats. Hudson lead Cavs to the easy win with 25pts 8rebounds and 6 assists.

The 76ers beat Nets huge 107-88. High scorer for Philadelphia was Williams with 20pts same amount of points scored on the other side Humphries, he also add 10 rebounds.

The Mavericks won their match against Sacramento Kings 100-110. Nowitzki contributes with his bellow average 15pts. High scorer for Kings was Cousins with 25pts and 18 rebounds, but it wasn't enough.

The Bulls welcomes New York Knicks and the took their revenge by winning 86-98. Even though Rose didn't play because of injury. Hamilton came out huge in 3Q and he scored 20pts. Korver shined in the 4Q, he scored some important 3pt. Carmelo Anthony on the other side also show his best with scoring 29pts.

Tips for today

Cleveland Cavaliers vs Charlotte Bobcats

The league worst Bobcats are going to the home of Cleveland Cavaliers. They last meeting came out better for Cavaliers. And I think it's not going to be any different tonight. But I won't be betting who will win this one. My tip for this game is to bet on A. Jamison that he will score more than 18.5 pts. In the last game against Nets he scored 34 points and in the last game against Bobcats he scored 20pts. And now without Irving he will score even more.

Chicago Bulls vs New York Knicks

After close win in overtime Knicks are going to Chicago. The Bulls will have a chance to beat Knicks on their home-court tonight and I think they will. But it's too risky to bet on win instead of that I would and I will bet on something else. D. Rose will score more than 22.5 pts in this game. He is after injury, but in their loss against Knicks he managed to score 29pts with not that good shooting 8 - 26. And he will continue in scoring tonight. 

Other

The Orlando Magic is going to Washington after beating Pistons. Their biggest star Dwight Howard is still doubtful for this game, but he didn't play yesterday and Orlando managed to win. So I think weak Wizards won't be a problem with or without Howard. Interesting match will be played in Miami today. The Heat will be hosting the Boston Celtics and it's not going to be easy win. Last time Boston won 91-72, but I think that today Miami will win even without D-Wade. Easy win for Dallas today against struggling Sacramento Kings. The 76ers are going to New Jersey. I'm expecting very even match, but I slightly prefer Nets as the winners here. Nets won their last meeting 97-90 played in Philadelphia.
