High percentage to win that Raptors game against Magic later.
But with low moneyline. You will need to sacrifice some points for a better win. 
I really thought Rockets will win that game against the Blazers but they have a goal. That is to win every game and manage to steal the 8th seed. Same goes for the Spurs. 
But who would've thought it will be that intense. At first, I really expected teams that are safe for a playoff spot will just play the game but not that hard. But Houston, Clippers, Lakers, Mavs are all giving them a difficult time to win.

With that odd for raptors, better to bet with  -7.5 for 1.94 odd.

though risk is much higher but if raptors will play solid that will be covered and we
now how this defending champ
have improved even without kawhai they are still playing solid.

But who would've thought it will be that intense.

Rockets were making so much three point shots but they still got outscored and that's what made them lose yesterday against the Blazers. It was close in the end I remember they tied in the 4th quarter at one point but it wasn't enough.

After the underdogs performing well yesterday it's probably worth betting on them live and wait for the handicap to go down.

Rockets relied on outside shooting so much as they don't have an edge in the inside, they opt to play small ball this season, so let's see if that would be successful for them especially in the playoffs.

I would go for the underdog now after yesterday, it seems like teams that have a secured standing might choose to give a limited time to their starters.
Maybe the Raptors here will not show what they've showed in the previous game as they have already proven themselves that they can beat the Lakers.

Doesn't matter if Raptors will play solid or not, it's risky to expect them to cover the -7.5 handicap.

It's worth keeping up in mind that Orlando Magic also plays well since the resume and successfully snatches 5 wins out of 6 games.

But that's your money. Just giving my opinion as there is other betting options that much better to put-in compare to Raptors handicap.

Risky but they still covered with a very good win.
They won by 10 points against the Magic, they are perfect so far I guess.

Bookmakers would not give -7.5 if Raptors chance to cover it is very low.

Well, they did cover it and I'm pretty sure we have a lot of bettors who fall for the very attractive +7.5 after seeing the previous day games where most underdogs win and cover the spread.

The 8th seed spot for western conference is doing so well that I can't miss a single game, all of them looks awesome. Right now grizz are at 20.0 difference, Portland 21.0, spurs 22.0, pelicans 22.0, suns 22.5 and kings 23.0 , I think Kings are out because it looks like 3 difference in this many games requires other teams to constantly lose and I doubt that would happen, even Suns are in big trouble.

Yet grizz has a decent leeway to win and that is why they would probably either get 8th or 9th and go to that 8th vs 9th new thing, the other would could be either Portland by the looks of it or Spurs, right now both of those teams are playing very well but unfortunately both of them have a very difficult path as well with the schedule but I think that makes it even more fun to watch

The perks of having a good standing before the 8 games to finish the regular season idea come off  , so, still... chances of maintaing the least spot is relatively high than those teams beneath them. The problem with Grizzlies is that, they were on lose streak and most of their defeats were just a close game which is quite bothering.

And yeah, they were all interesting to watch though. I still have my hope on Grizzlies to maintain the spot. Even though they seemed messed up there   .

Blazers and Spurs are tailing and knowing the experienced of both teams,

they are there to compete, this Memphis losing streaks is placing them to a risky 8 spot journey,.

It's exciting to see that the playoff run of Spurs is still alive.
I just want to mentioned  as they have really long post
coming to playoffs.

Yes, the western conference are more exciting now, teams have been competing pretty well in the number 8 spot.

Look at the ranking, every team has a chance now, it's because Memphis keeps losing.

Blazers won against Denver, now they are tied with Memphis in wins. The race for 8th seed has become more and more interesting, on the other hand, Suns are also winning, they are in 4 win streak now, but 2 wins behind the Blazers, so I think, this competition is only between the Blazers and the Memphis but Blazers had a better chance as they have a good record so far.

Meanwhile, the hype of pelicans is over, Zion's team tank in the bubble, they will miss the playoffs, 100% sure.

[perfect999]

Does anyone have the same feeling as premier league relegation zone fighting with the western conference 8th seed (and 9th with new rules) as well?
I feel like they are pretty similar. Also I think Spurs do not have that chance anymore, they started out very well but we are talking about a team that is missing one of their best players, Coach Pop seems to be trusting the new kids a lot more, Lonnie gets a lot more minutes, there is more times with Rudy Gay at the center with small ball line up, a lot less Bryn Forbes like fans wanted all year, yet at the end of the day without LMA they are not as good, I am not saying LMA makes them who they are but missing an important piece does cause you to be worse.

Grizllies just too ahead of other teams to lose from here and Portland has been awesome. Suns can't keep this up forever and will eventually lose. I still don't know who will go to playoffs but it is super fun to watch.

After that win from Blazers, Memphis needs to catch up, currently they are leading 15 points against the OKC still the last minute
of 3rd, they need to work if they really wants to stay to continue in the second round.

Still unsure who's going to get the last spot, 3 teams are trying Memphis,
Blazers and Sun all are good and deserving whoever made it to the next round.

Blazers and Sun all are good and deserving whoever made it to the next round.

Not just 3 but all teams behind 7th are close to 8th and 9th spot.

Unfortunately for most teams there, their remaining games are quite tough and difficult.

Looking at the schedule, I think only New Orleans Pelicans at the West do have at least an easy remaining game although it's hard to imagine that they can sweep it all to have a good position on either 8th or 9th spot.

Their effort will be wasted as it looks Memphis have finally solve their problem, they broke their losing streak with their win against the OKC.
If they keep winning in the succeeding games, they could secure their current spot.

At this moment, based on what I saw in the past games, even good teams can lose as they are not giving the same energy they give when they still need to win, they are secured with the spot, so they will not likely play the way they used to.

Finally and they are again one game away from Blazers and 2 games away from the rest of those teams who also aiming to get the last spot, if they keep on winning coming from their last few games, then yes they can proceed and take the number 8 spot.

Still every teams chance to continue still possible as long as they continue compete and win, while others lose.

What do you say? after Kawhi contributing them to a championship.

What did the Raptors actually said? TLDR, with the title of the article which their hope is still intact even without Leonard, they have already proven that, they showed their character as a team that they can defend the championship.

If they will advance again in the NBA finals, we've already seen that they have defeated the Lakers which is the best team in the West, so no doubt of the Raps actually.
