    Basketball Parlay of the Day Contest - Wednesday, 4/16/08
    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.

          Minnesota Timberwolves -7½
          Look for T-wolves to finish season on a good note game means more to them then the Bicks who will just show up

          Minn/Milw over 218.5 dont expect much defense in this meaningless game should be fast paced

                CLIPPERS/ROCKETS UNDER 185: The Clippers scored 30 points after halftime last night. This time they shoot cold right from the get-go.

                BULLS-6.5: The Bulls wouldn't mind closing a disappointing season with a big win while the Raptors are already thinking playoffs.

                  #508 Orl -5 : Van Gundy has stated he wants his team to end on a high note, i don't care that the visiting team in these match-ups usually wins, i like the Magic going out on a high note at home.

                  #514 S.A. -4.5 : Ginobili or not, the Spurs have basically owned the Jazz at home over the years, i look for the Jazz to still show they struggle on the road, and throw in the revenge factor for the beatdown the Jazz laid down on the Spurs in the last meeting.

                    Over is 4-1 in Bulls last 5 games following a SU win of more than 10 points

                    Grizzlies/Nuggets over 234
                    Over is 9-1 in Nuggets last 10 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400

                        Memphis & Denver 234 Under: den may want to rest and mem does not have the fire power

                        Cleveland +8.5: they have ben and where ben is the advantage is with him. when he was in chi, det had a hard time with chi so when ben + lbj faces det, det would usually lose

                          Spurs -4-spurs wants the 3rd seed and Ginobili will be playing, against a Utah team that hasn't won in SA in a while.

                          Den vs Memphis under 234-Memphis doesn't have anyone that can consistently score, this game could be Mem 100-Den 133 and no more. This should be a dunk fest for Melo, so he can get rid of his frustration on that DUI mistake.

                              Atlanta -5: Whether or not the game means much, just five points is a small spread for the Hawks to cover against the D-Leaguers in South Beach.

                              WAS-ORL O204: A game that means nothing in standings but everything in momentum. I like both of these teams to pour it on for way over 100 each.

                                  Phoenix Suns - 11.5: Portland played last night and beat Memphis but the Suns are way better then the Blazers right now and the Suns still want to boost up a spot or two in the standings after tonight. Suns win this game 115-92.

                                  Wizards @ Magic Over 204: The Wizards are still trying to get their chemistry down before the playoffs. These teams split the season series with the Magic winning 94-82, then the Wizards winning the most recent meeting 87-86 with Turkoglu scoring 39. Both teams are still competing to win until the end of the season, and neither team can gain a spot as far as playoffs go tonight so I think that both teams will slack on the defensive end to avoid injuries, and their is a lot of offense on the court to make this high scoring. I also think this game has definite OT potential.

                                      502 Det/Cle Under 180 Last meeting didn't even break 160...first half should be defensive tune up.

                                      519 New Orleans Hornets +9 Too many points to give the Hornets who make take this as a playoff tune up.

                                        Denver -15.5
                                        Haven't layed this much lumber on any Colorado team, since Elway was as Q.B.
                                        Won that parlay too, as I recall!

                                        Phoenix - 11.5

                                        Suns need a dominating win tonight as they head into the playoffs, with their "seeding" on the line!

                                          Phoenix Suns -11½
                                          gotta keep a winning momentum going.

                                          Golden State Warriors -13

                                            Milwaukee + 7.5

                                            Clippers + 14

                                            Taking the points in games where the dog will have more to prove, so to speak.

                                              san ant - 4 1/2
                                              san ant is 33-7 at home and gets manu back; utah on 17-23 on road. lay the small number

                                              memphis + 15 1/2
                                              playing this as I think dallas will beat new orleans and denver will have nothing to play for and rest starters.
