Re: 2024 NBA Playoffs Bets
Bad last two days, just 3-3 but got both series predictions correct (Pacers +1.5 games and Wolves series wins) so up a bit overall ($1000 starting now at $1500 +, including pending bets)
Adding for Monday's games:
G4 Celtics -10.5 $70
G5 Nuggets -7 $70
G4 Pelicans +4.5 $70

Re: 2024 NBA Playoffs Bets
Pacers odds to win series against Knicks are really good.. that seems like a decent bet, people are way too low on the Pacers because they didn't quickly dismantle Bucks.
Pacers have better depth and play with speed. After that 1st round series for Knicks I'm betting they collapse against Pacers over the series because of their pace.

i have a different opinion in this. i think the line is fine (Knicks -1.5 for the series) and New York is favored accordingly. i thought the Pacers were never really tested vs the injury-riddle Bucks while the Knicks have faced a worthy opponents in Philadelphia (better quality than the Pacers)
i do have issues on fatigue and how this Knicks team will hold up. Too much Brunson (necessary) and we've already seen good-to-great contributions from the role players (Hart, OG, Donte) so it's only a matter of time if we're seeing a tired NY team and that will affect their effort on defense (especially on defense).
However, i think it's a bit overblown too, as long as no major injuries happen i think they are capable of delivering those 40+ minutes per game and still be effective.
i am taking Knicks -1.5 for the series, expecting a 4-2 series win and even better if they close it out wayyy earlier.

The series bet of 3 to 1 on Knicks is too high. This should be a relatively even odds series considering Pacers were better in the RS head-to-head and they are less injured now.
Even if Knicks has a slight favour, they are getting pumped up by their crowd I betting odds. It's worth a shot on Pacers because of the overrated odds for Knicks IMO.

i have a different opinion in this. i think the line is fine (Knicks -1.5 for the series) and New York is favored accordingly. i thought the Pacers were never really tested vs the injury-riddle Bucks while the Knicks have faced a worthy opponents in Philadelphia (better quality than the Pacers)
i do have issues on fatigue and how this Knicks team will hold up. Too much Brunson (necessary) and we've already seen good-to-great contributions from the role players (Hart, OG, Donte) so it's only a matter of time if we're seeing a tired NY team and that will affect their effort on defense (especially on defense).
However, i think it's a bit overblown too, as long as no major injuries happen i think they are capable of delivering those 40+ minutes per game and still be effective.
i am taking Knicks -1.5 for the series, expecting a 4-2 series win and even better if they close it out wayyy earlier.
The series bet of 3 to 1 on Knicks is too high. This should be a relatively even odds series considering Pacers were better in the RS head-to-head and they are less injured now.
Even if Knicks has a slight favour, they are getting pumped up by their crowd I betting odds. It's worth a shot on Pacers because of the overrated odds for Knicks IMO.
i have no doubts Knicks can finish this in 5 games, what i am worried about is the game to game basis-- Indiana is capable of making it close and just scary for a regular 5.5 points spread throughout the series and i don't think New York covers easily (like in Game 1)
If there is no basketball in heaven, i am not going.

I mean Knicks shot the lights out and barely won tonight at home. I think Pacers will win Game 2.

Move that guarantee to Game 3 (after the calls tonight) so we're on the same page. LOL.
i believe Indy wins that game, proceeds to lose Games 4 and 5 and Knicks finish this early. If OG is indeed hurt, they can push this to six games and my Knicks -1.5 series bet is still safe.
