    Basketball Parlay of the Day Contest - Monday, 4/21/08
    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.

              WIZARDS +2: They are probably the better all-around team, and I look for them to get the split in Cleveland. LeBron cant win every game by himself, can he?

              JAZZ +1: Jazz took advanatge of no Yao and no Alston in Game 1, and I see instant replay tonight. Utah is now 8-1 ATS last nine head-to-head meetings including 4-0 ATS in Houston.

                      Washington Wizards +2: all they need is 1 win at the road and they are still in schedule and i don't think the 0 fg on the final minutes of the 4th won't happen again.

                      Houston Rockets -1: t-mac last game was good but was nowhere in the 4th and i look for him to be more aggressive during the 4th. utah already have what they came for 1 win at the road so houston have the perfect opportunity for the win.

                          Jazz +1: They are playing good and should win this game by 5 or 6.

                          Jazz @ Rockets Over 183.5: The Rockets shot just 36.7% in Game 1, (6-22 from 3PT), and the total went to 175. I'm expecting Game 2 to be higher scoring and the Rockets to keep it closer. 99-94 Jazz.

                              i don't have a good read on either team, i personally am leaning on ML plays for Cle and Hou, but with Alston still out for Hou. and i don't know whether Agent Zero is going to play 20 min. or 35 min, after i read this ....
                              Apr 21 Arenas is expected to play in Game 2 of the Wizards' series against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday night despite a sprained right wrist.

                              Advice: Arenas scored 24 points in the opener, but apparently hurt his wrist in the fourth quarter while fouling LeBron James. Arenas was already slowed by a surgically repaired knee. He participated in Monday's shootaround with a wrap on his wrist. Arenas spent several minutes after the workout launching long shots, trying to win money from teammates betting he'd miss.
                              #502 Wash/Cle un 186 : the Cavs just seem to have their number

                              #504 Utah/Hou ov 183.5 : just a gut feeling that they will squeak by this number.

                                Cleveland -2, Wiz are tooo confident, won't win a game in series

                                Utah +1, I know this is the wrong pick, but I am a sucker for bad lines

                                  Jazz +1: Simply the better team. No one likes Houston ... for good reason.

                                  WAS-CLE U186: Cleveland slows it down far too much. Another 170-175 type total is what I predict.

                                    cleveland -2

                                    like cleveland to win again tonight as washington is 18-24 on road and arenas has hurt wrist and did not practice yesterday but is supposed to play.

                                    Houston -1
                                    trying houston again as utah 18-24 on road and houston shot just 36% last game (mcgrady and jackson were 10 for 36). houston allowed utah to shoot 52% from field. houston for year has allowed 43%.

                                        Washington Wizards +2
                                        washington to steal game 2 Lebron a off night

                                        Wash/Cleveland Cavaliers Under 186

                                        I think lebron with a off night keeps the scoring under this number

                                            501 Washington Wizards +2 - wiz will limit king james and tie up the series

                                            503 Utah Jazz +1 - jazz will take a stranglehold in this series going up 2-zip

                                              Wash/Clev over 186 - Offenses should be much better in this game than the first

                                              Utah/Houston over 183.5 - Houston's offense should play much better and they shouldn't be able to stop Utah

                                                501 Washington Wizards +2: Arenas, Jamison, and Butler can all put up numbers and the Wiz have too much talent to have another terrible stretch to end the game.

                                                501 Was/Cle Over 186: Over is 3-2 this year when these 2 teams meet with 2 games going 200+. Neither team shot particularly well in game 1...I believe 38% and 40%. I expect a better performance all around without the long dry spells that were in game 1.

                                                  WIZARDS (+) 2.
                                                  Just read that Arenas will play tonight, despite his sore wrist.
                                                  Should loosen up enough to score his 30.

                                                  WIZARDS/CAVALIERS Over 186.
                                                  No "D" tonight.

                                                    Wizards +2-Agent 0 is pissed, and lebron won't be as motivated so washington should take this win, plus Wiz has more scoring options than cav's with jamison and butler.

                                                    Utah+1-They are clearly a superior team than houston, and without a quality point guard to play Darren Williams, they don't have a chance.
