    Basketball Parlay of the Day Contest - Wednesday, 4/2/08

    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.

    gsw dal: 215O - gsw is an offense minded team and dallas is not playing enough defense like the spurs that can buckle down on players. also the 4th qtr rest should be enough motivation for gsw to come out firing.

    tor atl: 205O - chris bosh alone on defense would not create too much trouble for the surging home team of atlanta and both teams have been playing good offense in the past few games.

    for both games: these teams is on a playoff push that uses offense to feed their contention.

    Atl -3, No Bosh, no problem, I can't believe the Hawks are favored in games this late in the season that mean something


    Golden State +4.5, Dallas is feeling the pressure, I'll take Nellie and his Mav voodoo doll to win outright

    RAPTORS +3: The Raptors are a perfect 4-0 both SU and ATS in the last four meetings, and this has been a Visitors Series, with the road team going 14-6 ATS in the last 20 head-to-head.

    KNICKS +8.5: The Knicks have actually covered three straight games, all on the road, and while the Grizzlies have played better lately, they don't deserve to be favored by this much over anyone.

    Portland - LAL under 204.5
    Portland is horrible on the road and I expect them to have trouble scoring.

    Boston -10.5
    Boston has won 4 straight winning all of them ATS.

    Bradley over 141: think the score will be close to last match up.


    GS over 215 : Do not know why I like the over ? Both teams seem worn out.

    715 Golden State Warriors +4½
    715 Golden State Warriors Over 215

    I'm a square so I'm taking the Warriors and the points and the Over. The Warriors have not lost 2 games in a row since January and I hope that continues.

    Tulsa vs. Bradley Over 141: I think both teams will get into the 70's and Bradley will win by a few.

    Celtics -10.5: They have been playing great defense lately covering this spread against teams such as Phoenix, New Orleans, @ Chicago, and Miami - all in the last four games. Celtics D will get them a 15 point win.

    702 Cle/Cha U 194 Combined 192 ppg. Cavs have not scored 100+ in their last 11 games and under is 6-4 in the Cavs last 10. Under is 8-2 in the Cats last 10 which they have scored 100+ just 3 times.

    717 Lac/Sea O 202 Combined points allowed 206, ppg 192. Seattle has allowed 100+ in 8 of last 10 including 110+ in 7 of them. Clippers have allowed 100+ in 5 of last 10. Fully expect both teams to run with hardly any defense being played.

    celtics - 10.5homecourt advantage...and versus a weak opponent ...they have covered DD spread over legit opponents and i dont think indiana is in the league w/ the suns and the rest of the top team boston beat already...

    gsw/dallas under 215no dirk... no stackhouse...gsw have been poor on offense... im sure avery is going to play D over dis GSW who eliminated them last season....

    702 Charlotte Bobcats +3

    Like the home dog here. Bobcats still with theoretical playoff chances. They played some impressive basketball on their recent road trip, and i think they shouldn't be the dog in this game. Ben Wallace is out for Cavs and they just don't play that well on the road generally.


    716 Dallas Mavericks -4½

    Playoff fight in the west is extremely tight and exciting at the moment. I think there's a good likelyhood Dallas rolls here at their home arena. 4.5 is a reasonable number to lay here.

    Cavs win this by DD, I think they want to get in playoff form and start to get it going


    713 Minnesota Timberwolves +16½
    Twolves been playing close games I dont think they lose by this many

    MIN +16.5: I'm not a big fan of betting against Utah at home, but this is a huge spread. Huge. Even if it's backdoor, I like the TWolves to cover this - even perhaps just barely.

    GS-DAL O215: Come on. Golden State's offense? Golden State's defense?! I expect each team to top 110 points with ease.

    Pacers/Celtics Under 209
    Under is 5-0 in Pacers last 5 vs. a team with a winning S.U. record
    Under is 7-2 in the last 9 meetings in Boston

    Twolves/Jazz Under 211.5
    Under is 9-2 in Jazz last 11 games as a home favorite of 11.0 or greater.

    Charlotte Bobcats Under 194
    Charlotte has gone UNDER in 8 of their last 10 games. I don't expect big scoring here as Charlotte runs a slow game and will try to control it on their home court if they want to beat the Cavs.

    Los Angeles Lakers Under 204½
    Portland has been low scoring on the road against good teams and I don't expect tonight to be any different. They might come out firing, but I see a slow second half if the Lakers get off to a big lead. This will eliminate late game free throws as well if they initiate a big gap... Looking to see an UNDER.

    gotta keep the winning momentum going! also, abt to get 60 win and playing at home shld be enuff motivation for kg and the gang to win this game decisively. im thinking 20+ pts win!

    Los Angeles Lakers -13
    roy out! gasol probable? hell yeah!! for people who havent noticed, lamar is playing like a beast (w/c is so much fun to watch)! lakers to roll on this one. hoping (bigtime) for lakers bench players to bury roy-less blazers in the 4th qt to secure the cover.

    Clippers +4.5 Two of my three NBA systems pick them so go with them

    Toronto +3 I like Toronto at the current 1.5 so getting 3 is a bargain. It's go time for Bosh and company.

    Wiz bucs under 208 -- The only time they have been over this was with over time. I think this will be close but should be an under

    Lakers/trailblazers over 204 1/2 -- blew this out of the water last game, I dont think it will be that far over but should go over.

    Clev/Char under 194 - Half court style game with neither offense looking great should keep this under the number

    Minn/Utah under 211 - Utah should get control of this game after losing to the Twolves a few days ago and hopefully coast to a victory to keep this under the number

    Portland +13, LA has been extremely shaky at home lately and coming in against a good Portland team which is rarely blown out, without the presence of Gasol/Bynum I don't see the Lakers winning this game by double digits

    AND

    LA/Portland Over 204.5, LA has no defense whatsoever and has a very effective offense, this game will easily break 200 and probably end around 220, prediction 112 LA to 103 Portland

    I did edit my prediction score from LA 113 Port 103, to LA 112 to Port 103 to reflect my feeling that this will be a high single digits win by LA, this is prior to the game

    Gasol actually returned tonight, but I still like the pick, disregard the absence of Gasol/Bynum as Gasol is back but looking extremely sluggish
