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

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 games

Milwaukee Bucks at Indiana Pacers

The Bucks fails once again to win and I believe that they are out of the playoffs. They are very frustrated as they shown that in this game. It’s kinda sad, but I understand. Granger had a game-high 29 points. Final score: 109-118

Minnesota Timberwolves at Detroit Pistons

Minnesota finally ended their long losing streak and has managed to win without Kevin Love. Pekovic had a game high 23 points. Final score: 91-80

Chicago Bulls at Miami Heat

The Bulls again without Derrick Rose faced the Heat in Miami and they failed to repeat their victory against the Heat. James carried Miami to 72-83 win over Chicago. James had a game high 27 points with 11 rebounds.

Houston Rockets at New Orleans Hornets

The Hornets proves that they are very strong at home as the season is coming to an end. The Rockets on the other side struggles, they are now out of playoffs on 10^th place in the Western Conference. Final score: 99-105

Los Angeles Clippers at Phoenix Suns

The Suns are pushing themselves into the playoffs as they beat the Clippers yesterday. They are now on the 8^th place and have a good chance to participate in the postseason. Cris Paul had a double-double 19points and 10 assists, but it wasn’t enough to beat the Suns. Final score: 90-93

Tips for today

Milwaukee Bucks at Indiana Pacers

Milwaukee is playing for the playoffs and they kinda disappointed me, when they lose yesterday against the Wizards. I was hoping that the Bucks will play in postseason, but it really doesn’t look for them. Tonight they will have to face to the Pacers in Indiana and they are one of the best teams at the end of the season. The Pacers are really looking good before the playoffs as they almost locked themselves in 3^rd position. And I think that they will win today. But I will bet on Deny Granger that he will score more than 19.5points as he averaged 24.6 points in his last seven home games against the Bucks. It will be a close game I think so he will play a lot.

Los Angeles Clippers at Phoenix Suns

Interesting game will be played in Phoenix, when the Clippers come to visit. The Suns are trying to be in the Playoffs and on the other side the Clippers are trying to win the Pacific Division. Again very hard to tell game as every game tonight, so I won’t bet on any team, but I will bet on the Clippers that they will score more than 97.5 points. The Suns are allowing a lot of points lately.

My bet

Granger +19.5 -odd 1.85

LA Clippers +97.5pts -odd 1.85
=

3.42 * 10$ = 34.2$ win

Other

Detroit will host the Timberwolves tonight. Minnesota again without Love (and of course Rubio) will try to finally win something. I’m not sure if they accomplish that in the home of Pistons. I just can’t decide who will win, so I’m not recommending that for a bet.

The Bulls will play in Miami on Thursday night. The Bulls will be most likely without Rose again, but Deng should be ready. Their last meeting ended in overtime, where the Bull scored 10 more points than the Heat. For today I think that the Heat will win. Wade and Bosh rested last game, but they will be in the lineup today. Win for the Heat, but I won’t bet this one.

The Rockets will play in New Orleans and the home team is playing a good basketball at home lately, while the Rockets are struggling to finish the season and end in the playoff seat. I think that even though the Rockets are not in a good mood lately they will finally wake up and will try to push into the playoffs. So I think they will beat the Hornets, but …

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.

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.
