The draft is often based on the players' prospect coming into the lottery and what the first team to pick would probably consider paramount for their franchise, it's still very tricky and we might not see 3 QBs in this years draft. I just think it will have been trickier if we needed to choose the amount QBs in the top 5 picks.

I think the road teams could be worth a shot today but the odds just aren't enticing enough so it's better to ride with home teams ML here than the road teams with a too low handicap line if you ask me, Dallas Mavericks are the only road team that could be worth backing ML, but they too have a couple of inexperienced players that's factoring into their entire result, but Kyrie and Doncic seem rather enough to carry this team, especially if Kawhi Leonard remains out for Clippers.

Indiana Pacers are way too playoffs game inexperienced for their own, and they look really out of sync or form in game, even without Giannis they'll need to correct a whole lot of things to be able force a long and interesting series for the Bucks, and the first things will be taking care of the ball and knocking down shots when they have the opportunities.

It's easier said than done, but I guess we'll see... More than half the pool will get eliminated by the time the qualifier and first round gets concluded, then I'm sure you'll have come to the acceptance that the division 1 guys aren't going down easily this season.

That was an epic game 2 and arguably the most interesting series of the first round so far. It was a true show of class, character and a great sense of urgency from the defending champions. LA Lakers only have themselves to blame after letting what could have been a great advantage before the series heads to Los Angeles slip through their fingers.

Davis issue began when the fouls started to mount up for and he became less physical and aggressive after picking up his fourth personal foul and had to sit at the score table for some while, when his presence on the court could have been well needed.

Nikola Jokic with yet another that performance that will further cement his name as one of the NBA players' all time best while still playing, It was a triple double performance, having scored a double-double in the 1st 12 minutes of the match, he was significantly quiet for majority of the 3rd but was able to find his stroke at the perfect timing while an all-night struggling Jamal Murray nailed the Lakers coffin with an impressive clutch time performance and buzzer beating dagger to heart of the Lakers faithfuls.

--------------

I don't think Lakers stands a chance in this series now, as I'll be backing the Nuggets to steal at least one of the next two games in LA on the road, however, Lakers have also shown that they can put any team on their toes and a run for their money too.

Congratulations mate, that was pretty much the anticipation from the beginning of the game, very similar game to the game 1, this could be a sweep of a 4-1 for the Cavaliers imo.

--------------

My bet on Jokic should be an easy hit, Jokic with a double-double already and it's still just the first quarter of the game, 3 rebounds more with 36 minutes left to play for should definitely be an easy reach for Jokic here 

Looks a great bet decision to me, all the playoffs matches so far have been a massive Under on the total spread, and you can't easily expect yet another low scoring game from Magic and Cavs teams that usually go extremely cold for 2 or more quarters in every game, the 3rd and 4th Quarters are usually where they have their scoring inefficiency.

I've got another player props' bet for tonight and it's on the Joker for game 2 vs Lakers.

I'm going with Jokic Over 12.5 Rebs @ 1.90 Odds

You're complaining about Salah ? after hitting a gem with Jean-Phillip Mateta ? I guess you'd have had more too to say if you've had Cunha only for it to blow back on your face. I had thought about Mateta too and Solanke for double, but going in too early cost me dearly one that.

Salah still have again to make amends and you can be sure that he'd get the nod there no doubt right ? I can't speak the same of Darwin (whom I've got), I knew it was just a matter of time before Jota finds his way back to the starting XI.

And the so much precious chip (bench boot) that I've been planning on its usage for the past 5-6 game weeks is now only going to be nothing short of significant adverse effect of my round, especially with Haaland out, Areola not playing and Doughty on negative points  Typical FPL-chip curse.

Game 1:  28, 28'
Game 2:  28, 28'

Thiem actually hasn't qualified yet, he still has one more qualifying game to win in order to make it to the main draw, and his next match is against a better ranked player Kokkinakis (no. 93).


The draws aren't random by any stretch they happen according to rankings or seeds for the tour, even for the qualifiers they do have seeds for it as well. So whoever wins the last seeds position from the qualifiers by default gets to play the 1st seed for the tournament. For ATP 1000 events like the Madrid open most are usually a 64 man tournament with the top 8 seeded getting a bye for the first round (some have expanded to 96 players, meaning more bye for more players in the first round, e.g Indian Wells Open), meaning there are supposedly 58 players in total, the seeded 32 players are default by their atp rankings for those who are eligible for the tour, so the remaining 26 slots are battled for in the tournament qualifiers, in some cases it could be fewer, if the tournament features Wild Cards (WC) or players with protected ranking (PR), the latter as the case with Nadal currently is. Nadal are surely going at loggerheads again, provided Nadal wins his first game  

I feel quite hard done by to have lost this round despite trailing by 2 points early into the match round! At first I needed just a win from the tennis question which looked clearly in my favor to even thing up for me, and finally I was really close to getting that point which I would have settled for gladly, Barcelona just needed not to lose the game for me to get that too. In the end, here we are, GG Darxi!

I really love this infographic design  

Best thing is no matter what happens for this round, I can't finish below the 10th spot, probably the best to happen today after Ruud ousted Tsitsipas in Barcelona open final, but then #9 and #10 are the group of death  


I believe the question was "If the previous record will remain unbroken". So, Yes should be the correct answer for that question.

Liverpool with the best set of fixtures for the double game week, but with Salah, Nunez, Szoboszlai and Mac Allister all being on the bench, Please, explain fuckery \fʌckery\ in a more subtle and simpler term, I'll wait.

I was able to grab some Props' bet in the playoffs game 1 matches from yesterday, Jamal Murray 6.5 Assist @ 1.90 was my favorite for the night.

The first games have been low scoring so I won't be going for Over/Under bets just yet and I'll be sticking to the player props' bets for now;

I've got Jason Tatum Over 8.5 Rebounds @ 2.05 for the first game of today;

The Heat didn't specifically shoot the ball so well in either of their play-in matches and with Butler still out, I'd expect the same and more efforts from behind the arc, while the Celtics aren't best known for giving out tons of offensive rebounds, I'm expecting Jason to be highly active in that area If Porzingis does get very well above his average minutes of the regular season.

YNWA!!!

That makes two of us, but the first real test for me begins in approximately 30 minutes from now, and Tsitsipas vs Ruud, I need Tsitsi big on this one, Barcelona could still go either way and we both get it wrong, but my biggest form advantage would lie in Tsitsipas getting pass Ruud for this one!

It's actually a funny encounter here for both players who both played against each just a week ago in the Monte Carlo final, a game which the Greek swept Ruud in straight and fun fact is only one of their 6 H2H have not ended in straight, 4-2 in favor Tsitsipas, given that he blew Ruud away in the last game, this could be something revenge oriented affair. I find it a bit surprising that Tsitsipas is the very marginal underdog according to bookies, I expected him to be the fav here, given that recent encounter, but as you've said Ruud indeed have looked somewhat better this week, but that's against opponents that aren't Stefano right ? So it shouldn't matter, I suppose.

A Tsitsipas win would get me back on level terms here and I really need it.

Man City is out of the equation now, so there is only Barcelona vs Real Madrid left for the decider.

Extremely unpredictable, that's Tsitsipas! He was fazed with a couple of match points today but he overcame them, even though he secured an early break of serve in the 3rd set and one would have expected him to see that through a bit easier than what turned out to be a need for a tie break to win the set and match.

I think I might even prefer Anthony Davis in the said roster compared to Embiid who is clearly still recovering from a major surgery, Anthony Davis is very versatile and also a two-way player, and with Lebron on the roster you can only anticipate a deeper chemistry between them.

Bam Adebayo is sole backup center would likely be a failed project, because Bam Adebayo is indeed undersized for a center playing against the new approach of teams which favors playing highly sized players for forward and center roles, Bam would definitely struggle against a French team for instance pairing Wemby and Gobert as F and C.

Unlike Arsenal where you can anticipate and predict the starting the lineup for each game, being out of the UCL might probably not make any difference in what to anticipate from Guardiola, to be honest, maybe except Ederson in goal, I don't know who from the Man City squad is guaranteed a premium playing time.

And more so, it is just a matter of time before players like the OP gets banned or restricted again, and the first thing you'll see from them is a new thread here claiming the platform have defrauded them of their money, without stating the atrocities and violations they've committed themselves.
