NBA Seeding Games

eastvan09 · 07-29-20, 07:51 PM

In the first weekend I am looking at betting the Thunder over the Jazz, provided the Thunder have their best players on the line up.

Looking at the Blazers over the Grizzlies. This is a huge game for both. Especially for the Blazers to build momentum in their push to make the play in for the 8th seed.

Also looking at the Raps vs Lakers on Saturday. Curious to see who will be scratched. Considering the Raps money line +155 at my book currently, depending on line ups and any tid bits regarding motivation.

Yep Thunder should win, Steven Adams has been doing the business in the scrimmage.

Just took OKC -1 over the Jazz.
Also took Blazers -2.5 over the Grizz.

Feels weird talking about Thunder and Memphis Grizz. Grew up a diehard Vancouver Grizzlies fan. Along with Sonics and Blazers we had nice rivalries in this area. Stopped caring about the Grizz after they moved to Memphis. Oh well, enough about the old days lol!

eastvan09 · 08-01-20, 09:55 AM

Blazers covered after going to OT. Back and forth game.

Just took the Raptors ML +120
The price come down quite a bit the past day or two.

eastvan09 · 08-01-20, 11:33 PM

OKC and Raptors both won.

Time to check tomorrow's card.

eastvan09 · 08-04-20, 09:30 PM

Considering taking the Raptors to cover -5.5 against the Magic.

eastvan09 · 08-04-20, 09:43 PM

Put 1 unit on the Raptors -5.5

I'm going big on Orlando ATS. Got trounced by the Pacers tonight but I think that had something to do with the devastation of the Isaac injury. They will bounce back. Good high-character group.

Do you follow the Magic closely? I honestly don't follow the Magic much. I watched the second half of tonight's game. Ross nailed some 3's and some other Magic hit shots shots. But they couldn't dig out of the 20 point half time hole. Raps hung on for the cover.

Might look to take the Magic later in the bubble against the Nets or Pelicans.

Will be interesting if they meet in the first round.

I don't pay particular attention to any one team. This one a tale of two halves. Looked like a total mis-match in the first half but in reality the Raptors' lead was courtesy of points off turnovers. When that flipped around in the 3rd it was all Magic. Think they would have covered if not for the injury -could not afford to lose Gordon with Isaac already sidelined.

Big pre-game line movement for this one. Went from +5 to +8. Suspect it would have fallen somewhere inbetween with Gordon not going down.

IBetYou · 08-05-20, 10:13 PM

Next up for them are the Sixers whom are likely to be without Simmons. Fultz with a chance to beat his former team. Magic talent poor if Gordon can't go but showing heart.

eastvan09 · 08-06-20, 12:38 AM

I didn't follow the line move today, that is a big move from -5 to -8.

The Magic did battle and show heart. I might take a closer look at the Magic depending on how many points they are getting against the sixers.

eastvan09 · 08-06-20, 12:40 AM

5Dimes doesn't have lines yet for Miami/Milw or LAL/Houston. I am leaning Houston. Miami will battle and I wonder how long Milw will play its starters.

eastvan09 · 08-06-20, 12:44 AM

Checked Vegas insider for lines
Miami is +8.5
LAL/Houston is not on the board yet.

eastvan09 · 08-06-20, 09:13 AM

5Dimes has Miami +9.5 against the Bucks.

Houston is +1.5 against the Lakers

Going to looker closer at these 2 dogs

eastvan09 · 08-07-20, 12:20 AM

Didn't bet any games today as I got busy with other stuff.

For Friday's games:

Thunder -4.5 over the Grizz (1 unit)
Raptors -3 over the Celtics (1 unit)

BOL to all

eastvan09 · 08-07-20, 11:34 AM

Just added Spurs -9 for 1 unit. As the Jazz are scratching their stars.

eastvan09 · 08-07-20, 02:53 PM

Spurs won by 8 so I take the Loss.

See if I can get back on track with the Thunder.

eastvan09 · 08-07-20, 05:52 PM

Thunder got crushed. I was on the wrong side. 0-2 today. Hopefully the Raps can win to reduce my losses today.

eastvan09 · 08-08-20, 10:20 AM

Raps got crushed! Was 0-3 yesterday.

My ex-wife was annoying me over text last night while I was watching the Raps Celtics. I was so discouraged by the Raps lousy performance I had to turn it off halfway through 3rd Q.

Oh, you on the Blazers hey.

I don't have any bets for today. I have not done any in play betting in the bubble. I'm considering checking out in play.

eastvan09 · 08-08-20, 12:13 PM

I see Kawhi is out. Game already started though.

rm18 · 08-08-20, 12:26 PM

Line moved 9 pts for Kawhi that is a lot. Clippers still better coach and a lot of talent. I guess you could say Montrez downgraded from ? too.

Yeah, 9 is a huge line move. Did you wager on it?

eastvan09 · 08-08-20, 01:33 PM

Took 1 unit Denver -2

No i need Clippers have Memphis get 8 seed.

You need 6 games to go your way :P

I reckon the Pels will finally get their act together and hold up their end of the bargain. Alvin Gentry will need to send some fine wine to Nick Nurse, Brad Stevens, Mike Bud' imo.

IBetYou · 08-08-20, 02:48 PM

No you want Memphis

eastvan09 · 08-08-20, 06:53 PM

Memphis appears like they will be likely to get into the 8,9 play in. Unless they can steal one of their remaining games against the top teams in the East.

I have Portland to finish 8th and get into the playoffs. 1 unit at +330

Today Denver got me a push. Won by 2.

IBetYou · 08-08-20, 09:20 PM

Blazers will get "8th". Hopefully the Suns get 9th. They deserve a taste of playoff play even if it is just a play-in. Outstanding performance by Jevon Carter today.

eastvan09 · 08-09-20, 10:30 AM

The Suns are playing great.

IBetYou · 08-09-20, 01:39 PM

Spurs, Pels coming up.

Spurs' approach to this has been top draw as with everything they do.

Pel's have messed about, overly cautious with Williamson, and not even playing their other guys major mins. Holiday only played 29mins in that crucial loss to the Kings. Beggars belief -playing guys like Frank Jackson instead of him. Gentry needs to go.

IBetYou · 08-09-20, 02:15 PM

Ha! 14-3 start for the Spurs in 3mins. Like watching pros vs amateurs.
