PACERS are still fighting for a better seed in the east and should win in Sacramento tonight.
The Kings' home field advantage is very minor as at the moment, instead of cheering, protesters angry with a police shooting that killed an unarmed Sacramento man have interrupted two of the team’s past three home appearances. Indiana win.
Double that up with an all west showdown with OKC heading to San Antonio. The trouble with such a low spread is getting the alternate spread right, but I like OKC here despite the Spurs playing well. The Thunder have won 2 of 3 against the Spurs, losing in OKC by 3 points, so hopefully the Thunder can cover here.

@jordan
OKC max alternate is +5 now would you still be confident with that?
Think they’ll win so yes mate.
Glad I did it when I did now the most you can get is +3.5!
I can only get the +3.5, Jordan you think it’s still worth taking that or too risky ?
Yes Ryan mate

Anthony Tolliver is expected to start for Blake tonight and should benefit the most in his absence, I’ll be taking him o8.5 points @skybet
Also had 9+ points 6 of his last 7 games. ?
Sky already changed it to o12.5 :(
Tolliver has 10 points with 11 minutes left in the 3rd. ?
Why have OKC dropped so much?? Now underdogs when they were favourites!
Lamarcus Aldridge is playing for the Spurs
Such a heavy change leading to them becoming favourites? Huge movement
Can’t see how Aldridge is a 5 point swing ?
Somethings not right here?
Players like Harden, Curry etc would only move a line 2 points maximum. Seems weird. OKC still shaded on the +, we’ll see what happens I guess ??
It does seem pretty weird for such a huge change, are OKC actually In the building ready to play.. ?
Westbrook must have died ?
Westbrook, Brewer, Adams, Carmelo, George. Looks strong to me.
Don’t jinx it! Carmelo will destroy us again ?
Ready to watch it ?? Hoping for good things from the Thunder !
Same. Should be a playoff atmosphere ??
indiana pacers -7.5
golden state warriors -4.5
personally going high stake on this double , good luck
Thunder meltdown in the 4th quarter costs them the game but not our handicap. Now it’s the Pacers job ??
I’d take the push on the Pacers but Thad Young missed 2 free throws at the 2 minute mark with the pacers leading by 6.. So close
One of those nights last night, everything was close and could of gone either way so like you say will take the push on the Pacers. At one point they were down hard, same with OKC so to return with anything and be in profit is a decent night ??
???
2 pushes but it’s all profit still with zero loses. Let’s take it to them tonight again.
The 11/10 landed for me but still sour on that -3 ??
Congrats !!
Nuggets in 10th are terrible on the road (one of the worst in the league) and have lost 5 of last 7 away with top scorer Gary Harris still out injured. Recent defeats for the Thunder kinda put them in a must win spot here with the Pels coming up next who are 1 place back in standings but also only 2.5 games separate 5th – 10th. Other than the Grizzlies this is their easiest game with 6 to secure their playoff place and this could also knock a team out of contention in that race. Thunder have also won 7 of last 10 times these 2 met. Anyone else think 5/8 is a decent price or any reason to back against?
Denver don’t defend like the Spurs, but they do throw up the three a bit (which is how the Spurs beat OKC last night). I’d be fearful of that low spread.
In other news, KD was ejected and Iguodala now injured for the Warriors…
Rockets still looking the team to beat for me.
Interesting stats about the 76ers
76ers net rating this season…
Both Embiid and Simmons on floor: +15.8
Simmons on floor without Embiid: -2.5
76ers are now 1/4 on ML. If Schroder sits again though I don’t think it’ll matter that Embiid didn’t travel. Last 3 home games Hawks had they were beat by Bulls (7 points), Thunder (12 points) & Hornets (12 points). I think I’ll take the 76ers to pad out an acca anyway.
I do agree, they have players that don’t get the credit they deserve. Saric has been killing it and Covington is back in decent form yet all people want to talk about is Simmons.
It was you that got me looking at him nick! haha. I missed your player prop last night. Stupid sleep!
I picked him more for the shooters around him than his passing ability. :D
Tolliver was only available for like 10 minutes before Sky realized that Blake was out. ?
He did go overs on the adjusted line too, was a pretty good night. I tend to lump on bets like that because they don’t come around too often!
Fultz in the line-up has made them better too ??
Do like Philly tonight but will wait for shootarounds as we’ll start seeing the questionables soon. Do you guys use rotoworld?
Yea i’m constantly refreshing Rotoworld, that’s how I got the heads up on Blake last night. Some of the Rotoworld guys twitter accounts are pretty good too as they retweet all the team news just before Rotoworld posts it.
Good stuff fNick. Can’t get much better than Twitter as thats where it goes before rotoworld ??
I had said previously that after getting embarrassment from Hornets by 61 points there would be no reaction from the Grizzlies as we’d have seen it before that loss. I was wrong! Since then they’ve ran Lakers close and won the last 2 (last game was Blazers who were only missing Lillard from their recent good run). You could see the intention from Bickerstaff the last few games that he’s wanting his team to try. The spread sits @ 15 points and in their last 8 games the Grizzlies haven’t covered that only once and it was the Hornet humiliation that shook them into 2 wins and a close defeat. Jazz are more known for being a top D team and are just wanting the win to then focus on TWolves away Sunday for a playoff position match in the conference. Jazz have only covered 15 point spread once in last 6 games and that was against a G-League type Warriors. They’ve also split there last 6 games and none of them were top form opposition. Anyone else think this line is too high to cover and the handicappers have got it wrong?
Right I’m feeling lucky so here we go….

TWolves ML

Nuggets\Thunder under 224.5 (Total)

40/1 @ bet365 (additional 30% bonus) – 0.5 points
I think OKC need the win tonight and bring with it playoff intensity as the Nuggets need the win too to aide their own playoff chances but home court advantage and just a better team shades it for Thunder.
As discussed Embiid is out for 76ers but they still have more motivation for the win and Hawks don’t with draft in mind. Suspect Schroder sits & Bazemore out tonight meaning 76ers have more than enough for the win.
Rockets @ home to Suns & Jazz @ home to Grizzlies added to gain extra 5% on the bonus.

Had a look at some of the NFL draft markets today, and there’s only really one pick with ‘value’ Sam Darnold is tipped to go as the first QB, but it could be anyone of five if you ask me (Darnold, Allen, Rosen, Mayfield and Jackson) Taking Jackson number one would be unlikely, but when the great Mike Vick says that Jackson is better than he was coming out of college, you should take notice. Probably won’t be a starter but he should light up the pre-season.
Anyway, back to the pick in question. Calvin Ridley is dubbed the best WR in the draft, and I’d agree on that statement. He’s not a receiver with size, but in comparisons I’d line him up with Antonio Brown, Golden Tate or a Jarvis Landry type player. Regardless, he has the talent to be the first picked receiver over Courtland Sutton. Just for comparison, the only other market available from what I can see is 2/5 for Ridley.
Calvin Ridley First WR Drafted @ 4/6 @ 365 – 6 points
Timberwolves should be focused on the playoffs coming off a career high night for Towns. Starting with Dallas, three of Minnesota’s last six games are against teams that have already been eliminated from postseason contention. Minnesota has had its way against the Mavericks, winning the three previous games this season by an average of 14 points.
Double them up with Lillard returning to Portland after the birth of his son this week (which is why he sat out the Memphis loss). Portland are yet to lock up the 3rd seed with San Antonio only three games back, but the Clippers are on the outside looking in, so they should be competitive. However, this has been the best Portland team since the departure of Aldridge, and the home fans know it. The only trend I don’t like about this pick, is that the home team has lost in each of the three games in the seasons series so far.
Timberwolves -2 – 1:30AM
Trail Blazers ML – 3:30AM
EVS @ 365 – 5 points
Big fan of anything against the Mavs at the moment.
Lakers/Mavs game was close the other night in the fourth and they brought in Collinsworth, Motley and Kleber all guys that aren’t in the rotation.
Pretty much just handed us the W.
Nice tank method there ??

How are the Lakers favorite against the Bucks with Lonzo out?
I know Hart is back tonight but it seems a bit weird with how many good players the Bucks have..
Maybe the b2b road games are too much for Milwaukee ?
Could be right, just seems weird as Luke said at the press conference before the last game that he’s going to stop playing the starters so many minutes and play some of the G league guys more because our season is over.
Every time I’ve bet against the Lakers they’ve won so I’ll be avoiding that game. :D
