    Basketball Parlay of the Day Contest - Wednesday, 4/9/08
    Starting Tuesday (April 1), we will start a new April Hoops Parlay Contest with a prize of $250 account at 5 Dimes, 3 time roll-over. Last place will receive a $25 5 Dimes account with a 3 time roll over. If there is a tie for last place in both units and game-by-game record (15 parlay minimum), there will be NO last place prize.

    *IMPORTANT*
    All players must have an account at 5 Dimes prior to making picks Sign up here

    Before participating, players must PM their 5 Dimes account ID to SBRforum Staff


    1. Check in the NBA BASKETBALL HANDICAPPING FORUM each day for the daily thread to be posted by LT Profits. Lines will be posted by 1:00 p.m. (ET) each day. Plays may be posted before that, but the official posted lines will be used for grading.

    2. Posted spreads and totals are the only eligible plays for grading, no Money Lines or Halves allowed. NBA, NCAA Men's and beginning April 1, NCAA Women's games included.

    3. Two-game parlay picks, laying 10 to win 26. Post entire parlay at same time, no open parlays.

    4. Here’s the catch: Your play must include a write-up! The write-up does not have to be long, just a sentence or two about why you are making your play. If need be, please refer to prior month's contests for examples.

    5. Entries that are past-post or do not have analysis for both games will be NO ACTION. Once your two-team parlay has been posted, you CANNOT change either play. Any edited post will count as a LOSS! If you make a mistake (such as leaving out "Over" or "Under" or not clearly stating your selection), need to add analysis or wish to enter corrected lines, do so in a separate post. This holds true even if the first game on the schedule did not tip off yet. It also holds true for past-posts and entries with no analysis. It does NOT hold true for posts that are not parlay selections, i.e. standings, commentary posts or congratulatory posts.

    6. And here’s the fine print:

    • Must be 18 years of age or older to participate.
    • One entry per household and IP address.
    • Must use lines posted in daily thread by LT Profits
    • Maximum one parlay pick per day, minimum 15 parlay plays required to be eligible for monthly prize.
    • Tiebreaker for first place - Win % of individual parlay legs. If still tied, combatants will carry on a head-to-head parlay match until winner determined.
    • All decisions made by SBR with regards to this contest are final.
    • SBR employees eligible to participate but are not eligible to win the monthly prize.

            Bos Was 192 Over: last game the bench did its best to win and with the bench they scored to win and with was becoming somewhat healthy the score should be up with the decrease of defense.

            Det Phi 183.5 Over: det likes to rest and cruise and going into the playoffs they'll still cruise unless they face bos. without the defense phi would now be able to exploit this and score too much that det will once again try to win in the 4th by scoring and not so much defense.

                Sixers -3: Philly's hungry, Detroit doesn't give a flying sh!t about this game. I could see the Pistons keeping it close (i.e. single digits), but in the end the Sixers should cover at least three points on its way to winning.

                NO-MIN U202: New Orleans play good defense, and Paul slows it down on offense for the most part. The Hornets' last game was WAY under this, and its game against Golden State on Sunday only went over this total by two points, so I feel pretty good that a matchup with the mediocre TWolves will stay under.

                    Milwaukee Bucks +13- bucks playing well lately and Toronto been blowing anybody out in awhile, they'll be in cruising mode till the playoffs.

                    Philadelphia Seventy-Sixers -4- They still need to secure a playoff, so they'll be fired up for this one at the home court.

                        Milwaukee @ Toronto Over 204: Both teams have been scoring and allowing triple digits. In Milwaukee's last 5 games they have averaged 106.2 ppg and allowed 108.2 ppg. In Toronto's last 5 games they have averaged 105.0 ppg and allowed 109.8 ppg.

                        Pistons @ 76ers Over 183.5: In Phily's last 5 games they have scored 96.6 ppg and allowed 98.6 ppg. In Detroit's last 5 games they have scored 94.0 ppg and allowed 84.2 ppg. But Detroit's last 4 games have been against teams that are way out of playoff contention (Minnesota, New Jersey, Miami, New York). Phily is still fighting for playoff position in the East and should put up a better offensive fight than these 4 teams. Expect both teams to get into the 90's here and put this game over.

                          Houston Rockets Under 193
                          In terms of defensive and offensive efficiency, Houston is one of the best and Seattle is one of the worst, respectively. I think the Rockets shut em down for the UNDER.

                          Washington Wizards Under 192
                          Two slow moving teams here... Washington being the slower of the two in terms of pace and on their home court I don't expect them to speed it up. Boston also is one of the best in terms of defensive efficiency to shut down Washington. Good defense + slow pace = UNDER.

                          Lets get $$$$

                            Milwaukee vs Toronto Over 204

                            Milwaukee allows over 105 pts/game on the road and have allowed 105 or more in their last 6 games

                            New Orleans Hornets -10

                            New Orleans lost at home yesterday and should look to play better while Minnesota has lost 5 straight and yesterday was a heartbraker losing by 2 on the road after making a double digit comeback.

                                  SONICS/ROCKETS OVER 193: Yes, the Rockets won just 79-66 at Seattle last week, but we expect a lot more points this time around, somewhere closer to the 109-107 result the previous times these clubs met. The Rockets are actually scoring points vs. bad defenses, as demonstrated by the 105 they put up vs. the Clippers last game. Meanwhile the Sonics are playing with no rest after losing at Dallas last night, and their games are averaging 202.9 points when playing the second half of back-to-backs this year.

                                  SUNS/SPURS UNDER 197: These clubs have gone Under in all three meetings this season, as well as in five of their last six head-to-head encounters overall. The Spurs have allowed more than 92 points just once in their last 10 games, and they have always done a good job of containing the normally potent Phoenix offense.

                                    Phila over 183.5 : seems like Pistons playing a bit soft lately so low total should go over.

                                          #713 N.O. -10 : hopefully the Jazz gave a wake-up call to the Hornets that are trying to hold on to the top seed in the west. the T'Wolves in the past week and a half, have lost to the Spurs, Jazz, and Suns by more than 12 points, i'm hoping the Hornets can do the same.

                                          #716 Hou -16 : this is chalky, i'm not even playing this game myself, but my gut feeling is the Rockets are going to smoke the Sonics, the Sonics have no inside presence with both of their premier big men out, yeah they got 2 other 7 footers and another 6'11 dude, but they're just wastes of space.

                                              NJ/Clev over 189.5 - Line has moved by 7 points

                                              Seattle/Houston under 193 - Seattle tends to play the style of their opponent and this should be no different and should stay under the number

                                                Seattle Supersonics +16
                                                sonics pumped up lately. i think they will keep it close with the rockets on this one.

                                                Phoenix Suns/San Antonio Spurs Under 197
                                                going with the recent trends with these two.

                                                  711 Charlotte Bobcats +3 Simply put...the Knicks shouldn't be favored over anybody except maybe the D-league All-Stars.

                                                  713 New Orleans Hornets -10 Hornets are 1 game up at the top of the standings and playing for home court. Coming off of one of their wost performances of the year the Hornets should have a fire lit under them and route the T'Wolves who have nothing more than a better shot at the top pick to play for.

                                                    seattle +16: houston doesnt score enough to cover this line plus seattle has been competetive as of late

                                                    charlotte+3: new york stinks from top to bottom, charlotte has a nice stable of young thoroughbreds that are geting the feel for running together
