    Basketball Parlay of the Day Contest - Friday, 4/11/08
    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.

          HEAT +5: Could the D-League All-Stars actually win two in a row? Why not! The Grizzlies are the worst road favorite you will ever see.

          WIZARDS/PISTONS OVER 187.5: The Pistons should be loosey-goosey until the playoffs while the Wizards are still playing hard and have key players back.

              Chicago Bulls Under 196½
              Without Gooden the Bulls have been unable to break 90pts and he is listed as doubtful for tonight. The last 3 and 2 for the Bulls and Cavaliers have gone UNDER, respectively.

              Phoenix Suns Over 202½
              Phoenix is fresh off of a slow paced game with San Antonio and a days rest. I know they're playing on Houston's slow paced home court, but I believe they will try to control the pace of the game and speed things up. As well, I think it'll come down to the wire and a close game to put this one OVER.

                Ind +5.5: ind have been playing good lately with the playoffs in mind, while phi have been inconsistent at home when playing teams inspired by the playoffs.

                Hou Pho 202.5 Over: there have been news about battier being out, without him the defense of houston would drop a notch or so. such the bench would be relied upon and what the bench brings is shock troopers that would score and score and with the suns as opponents they would need to score more to win since no battier would mean free amare.

                  Spurs Under 184 - Seattle won't carry their fair share.
                  Portland +2.5 Why is the line so small?

                        Wizards @ Pistons Over 187.5: Wizards are playing well. They handled Boston pretty good although Boston probably isn't going all out at this point. Wizards are 6-1 OVER in their last 7.

                        Pacers +5.5: I'll take the Pacers with the points. Indiana is 2-0 SU vs. Phily this year winning by an average of 12 points. Indiana is playing better D as they have produced 5 straight unders and have won 5 of their last 6. They are on a mission to get into the playoffs, and Phily shouldn't be favored by this much.

                            NO +3.5 : Hornets need the win and Lakers on a back to back.

                            Sea +17: Unless Spurs start to score 17 is a lot of points to give.

                              Indiana/Philly under 209 - Indy's been playing better D of late, and Philly can also defend, so I think this stays under the number

                              Portland/Sac under 204.5 - Just hoping that even though both offenses should be solid tonight, that the pace is controlled more by Port to keep this under the number

                                  Seattle +17--- Manu out. favorable line. Spurs been on a scoring drought. And if all else fails, backdoor cover.

                                  Sea/SA -184--- Under is 8-2 in SEA last 10; 7-3 in SA last 10. SA will have the clamps down on D at home, as former assistant coach for the Spurs, P.J. should know this Spurs team well enough to get the usually defensively inept Sonics to at least contain Duncan and Parker. Either that or he'll let Duncan and Parker get theirs while clamping down on everyone else (see 1-29-08 @ SEA---Parker was out, Manu had 29, Duncan 27 and the Spurs still lost to a Seattle team that only shot 41.6% from the floor. When one of the big 3 for the Spurs is out, I almost look for excuses to play the over, hoping Vegas will overcompensate by setting the total too low, yet I'm never quite satisfied. I still like the Under quite a bit in this one.

                                      NY Knick +6- Knicks played Hawks tough last time, and will be playing this game with nothing to lose, Hawks will be tense and in for a fight.

                                      Indiana +4.5- Indiana desperately needs this win, while Sixers doesn't, so the more motivated Pacers that has won 3 straight will take this one.

                                            #706 Orl -12 : Minny has gave up , their L5 they have avg. 99ppg while their opponents have avg. 118ppg, the Magic L5 have seen them go 4-1 ATS and avg. 101ppg while only letting their opponents avg. 90/5ppg.

                                            #NYK +5.5 : the Knicks ain't going no where, so maybe they would like to help play spoiler for the Hawks who only hold a 2 game lead over the surging Pacers who have won 3 in a row, with 4 games left. the Knicks also have covered 7 of their last 8 games.

                                                713 Atlanta Hawks -5½ Hawks still fighting for the last spot in the East and need a win to secure their positioning. Knicks are definitely due for a terrible game.

                                                710 Memphis Grizzlies/Miami Heat Under 193½ Both teams buried in the standings and the Heat struggle to score. Could easily be a brick fest.

                                                    NO-LAL Over 212.5
                                                    Lakers have been a scoring machine of late and since they had a huge lead last night it isn't nearly as tiresome as a usual b2b. I see them and NO each putting up some pts tonight.

                                                    PHO-HOU Over 202.5
                                                    2 of 3 games have been for 120 or more so I see them putting up around 210 here. Phoenix can still score and have put up 110 or more in 5 of their last 7. Houston and Phoenix are also right there playing for home ct in the playoffs so each will bring their best.

                                                        Seattle +17, UNDER 184: I cap this game as a 70-80 type score. San Antonio is playing lock-down defense but can't score. As an obvious result of that, the game totals are very low of late, and further the Spurs are going to struggle putting away a team by 20+ points. They just don't have the fire power. I see them pulling away in the fourth quarter but Seattle will cover so many points, even if it's backdoor.
