[LT Profits]

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.

[LT Profits]

KNICKS +11: The Pistons are expected to give their regulars limited limits the rest of the regular season, sometimes resting them entirely. Even when at full strength, the Knicks are incredibly 2-1 ATS against Detroit this season, and they are just one point from being 3-0 (lost 98-86 at +11.5).

SUNS/GRIZZLIES UNDER 227.5: Yes, these are two Over teams, but this total still seems a tad inflated. The last five Memphis games have averaged 216.6 points while the last five Phoenix contests have averaged 223.4.

[pokernut9999]

Denver over 213.5 : Keep with the high scoring no defense team here.

Sacramento +11: GS just playing lousy right now, taking the points.

[louisvillekid]

#386 Tenn -1.5 : the Lady General leads her Vols to a victory, because she is the best womens coach ever, and Candace Parker is the Bomb, and the Vols are the defending champs.

#512 N.O. -5 : the Hornets are still taking names and marking them down, the Hornets are on a mission to to prove they are the best in the west.

[shantystar]

503 Atlanta Hawks +2½,strong inside info to thrash their opponenets today.
511 Utah Jazz +5,strong inside info too,to beat their rivals too.

[Junkyard Dog]

511 Utah Jazz +5 - both teams playing for playoff position, i like the jazz

521 Sacramento Kings +11 - no pressure on the kings, all the pressure on warriors to win. reminds me of the denver game the other day

[rake922]

Supersonics/Mavericks Over 204½
Over is 11-3 in the last 14 meetings in Dallas

Kings/Warriors Over 228
Over is 11-4 in Kings last 15 games as a road underdog of 11.0 or greater

[motley]

Atl Ind 212 Under: ind will try to implement some defense against atlanta for them to win. atlanta also have habbit of scoring less on the road compared at home

Bos Mil 195 Over: without the big three of boston defense is not that tight. mil would now be able to score and being at home they would exploit this lower defense to score a lot. for bos the bench does not want to loose, thus for them to win they would also score.

can i change bos mil 195 to under?? if i can here's an explanation.

the bench of bos is not a scoring machine and maybe mil won't be inspired to win since beating bos w/o the big three is pointless.

[Deke101]

Pacers -2.5: Need this game big time for the chance to get in the playoffs.

MN/Charlotte Over 199.5: Neither team will play defense. Not even a basketball game here, just a casual shooting contest.

[LT Profits]

motley,

Sorry, you can't change once you posted a valid parlay. See second sentence of Rule #5.

[motley]

motley,

Sorry, you can't change once you posted a valid parlay. See second sentence of Rule #5.

ok... so my play stands at bos mil 195 over and atl ind 212 under

[gizmo2431]

Portland Trailblazers Under 201
Blazers run a much slower game than LAL, and at home I expect them to control the temp of the game. As long as they don't get blown out from the start, they'll control the pace and I expect an UNDER.

Miami Heat Under 183½
The Heat don't have anybody capable of putting up huge scoring, and the Bulls can probably just take this game easily. The Bulls are not a blow out team so if they get a lead they'll stick with it comfortably and slow down. In the Bulls last 5 they are averaging UNDER 100 ppg and the Heat UNDER 80 ppg.

[stump]

501 Minnesota Timberwolves Over 199½
lots of points in this game


Tue 4/8 511 Utah Jazz +5 jazz steal a win

[szaidi99]

minnesota +points
minnesota is the team to beat

miami +points
miami is about to shock the world

[rugbybdyb]

Utah Jazz/New Orleans Hornets Under 211 -- been under all games this yr

Seattle Supersonics/Dallas Mavericks Over 204½ - mavs have a big night 2night

[Wrigley]

504 Indiana Pacers -2½
Indiana is 7-1 straight up in their last eight home games I expect them to cover the small number

385 Stanford women +1½
Tenn star player is playing with a bad shoulder I think wrong team favorite due to her injury

[VBOMBER]

Atlanta/Indiana over 212 - Should be an uptempo game and both offenses are playing well enough to get this over the number

Chicago/Miami over 183.5 - I am the last person to play a Miami over w/o Wade as I have been riding the under since he's been out, but I htink the books are over adjusting here and with Miami slowly getting a couple of bodies back this gets over the number

[goldengoat]

hornets -5
hornets still white hot so go with them at home

bobcats -4
charlotte decent at home and twolves suck on the road

[twtb19]

Charlotte Bobcats -4

Charlotte much better at home than Minnesota on rd. Minnesota lost last 4 games, all ATS as well.

Golden State Warriors -11

They are at home and need this win big against a team in Sacremento that struggles on the road.

[mundane]

Los Angeles Lakers -9½
Denver Nuggets -12½

gotta win to advance/stay on seeding. hopefully they cover too!

[diogee]

519 Denver Nuggets -12½ Coming off of back to back embarrassments and will be primed to blow out the Clippers.

512 New Orleans Hornets -5 Hornets are fighting to stay the number 1 seed in the West and should handle the road wary Jazz.

[msubulldog]

phoenix/memphis over 227 1/2

think shak being out helps scoring in this one. these two met in feburary scoring 240 and again in march scoring 243. don't see why tonight should be any different.

new orleans -5
new orleans plays great ball lately winning last 9 of 10. utah different team on road as they are 16-22 on road vs spread.

[thezbar]

Stanford Ladies +1.5 They have some big girls up front. Should play Smart and that shoulder issue on the other side. I think Stanford wins this.
Lakers under 201 Risk here but will portland even get to 90?

[brock]

518 Portland Trailblazers +9½ Have always stayed close
playing the Lakers.
521 Sacramento Kings +11 fourth match up of the year. Have
not lost by this number yet to GS.

[pokernut9999]

Denver over 213.5 : Keep with the high scoring no defense team here.

Sacramento +11: GS just playing lousy right now, taking the points.

The drought is over !!!!
