A quick question, regarding the questions that involves a player's goals and/or assists and then those involving the number of goals scored by a team or in a match, is it just the 90 minutes that are taking into consideration right ? or does any potential extra 30 minutes count as well ?

So because Miami Heat won a game at Celtics Spoelstra suddenly is the best coach in the NBA ?? Big Joke, it's a series I hope you remember and it's a best of 7 series, and If you think the Heat are capable of getting this upset, I'll take you on a sidebet of 1 mBTC that the series doesn't go as far as a game 7 and the Heat doesn't win it.



The 76ers really get carried away easily in close games at the final minutes of the game, they really need to start pay more attention until the there is no time left on the clock, it's a 48 minutes game and playoffs for crying out loud, they should stop getting sloppy after playing hard ball for 47 minutes and throwing it all away in the last minute. They were able to avoid a major disaster in the play-in game vs Heat, it was the exact same play Lowry throwing a careless inbound pass to Maxey with a huge miscommunication between Maxey and Embiid, they were able to get away with that simply because the time had elapsed before the ball went out, that should have been warning enough for them, not them getting caught up by the exact scenario that cost them an important win on the road.

I'll probably back the Lakers here, but 9 consecutive defeats to Denver makes them look so owned by this Nuggets roster, we'll see what Ham, James, and AD can come up with as a counter punch, because another sweep or 4-1 loss could mark the end of Ham and the Lakers journey together.

Thank you!

SGA ended the game with 33 points, maybe I'll start consider some 5-10+ fold ACCA for the player props as I look to be hitting them with some good success rate, I'm currently around well above 90%+ from my single props since the playoffs started, I think I have only lost just once. Hopefully, I can keep the streak and momentum for a long time.  

That's some nice nice one! Congrats!

Miami have gotten to even the series as it heads back to Miami, I hope they're not looking to cause another major upset here like they did with the Bucks a year while playing as the 8th seed as well.


I'm getting a high scoring vibe from this game, I don't know why. It's very tough indeed to know which team would cover the spread in these matches tbh, good luck with your bet mate

2nd Quarter Edit: Unrelated but is anyone catching the game ? Some OKC fan named "Eli" just hit a mid court short for a whooping $20,000 from Midfirst 

I'm sticking to the players props as usual, for tonight I've got two players in mind I saw Tyler Herro Over 4.5 assists @ 1.64, and I hop on that quickly, Herro didn't get that many assist in game 1, but things are meant to different for the Heat tonight and I was expecting Erik Spoelstra to make some adjustment that would have Herro on the ball a whole lot more.



Alternatively; I've also got Shai Gilgeous-Alexander total points Over 28.5 @ 1.83, SGA was a point in game 1, but that could be attributed to him starting a bit slow, I guess he should be firing on all cylinders today, if he can get going early.

Just like a placard with a sarcastic writing that I saw from a Minnesota Timberwolves' fan in the game last night which states "The Sun always set", I guess that meant the Phoenix Suns are no longer effective if I'm not mistaken ?

Frank Vogel really need to look for new answers from his role players, their big three alone just isn't going to cut it, they'll need help deep into their roster, they don't complement each other enough, maybe one of them would even be better of starting from the bench, and the lack of a natural point guard is quite evident in their team, Bookers performance have dropped significantly, maybe if they had kept Jordan Goodwin he'd have coming in handy right now.

That being said, the series is just 2-0 and it'll be utterly naive to consider it a done deal just yet, I think Phoenix could even the series on home court, but I'll go with Minnesota to win the series in 6.

+1

I also agree that regardless of what happens in the Lakers vs Nuggets series, it is not going to deter LeBron James' legacy and status as one of the greatest player the NBA has ever seen, how many of his draft class are still playing basketball up to date, let alone performing at a top level which Lebron is still doing at age 39.

Lakers have their self to blame from letting game 2 slip through the fingers, but the series is still very much far from over and if there is anything worth nothing in the first 2 games, it's that the Lakers are an highly competitive team, and making the playoffs via the play-in and being up against the defending champion and 2nd seeded team in the west have not change that fact, with the series now heading to LA, you should expect a different atmosphere and a better result from Lakers, if the Lakers stood a very good chance to have won a game in Denver, I don't see what's stopping them from restoring parity on home court.

Have you considered Tyrese Haliburton on total number of assists ? He was offered at 10.5 assists @ ~1.85+ in game 1, of course he fell 3 assist short in that game 1.

He's currently still offered over 10.5 assists @ 2.00 Odds, I like this and I believe it should be a hit, he should have easily hit the number in game 1 too, but the Pacers were extremely awful in finding the bucket in that game, while their transition offense still look pretty well like something that should give the Bucks a real run for their money in as much as they finish around the rim and convert their open look shots this time around, Hali should have no problem getting a double digit assists.

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.
