[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.

10:05PM (EST) 516 Sacramento Kings +4½ Under 187

[Wyndham]

SA-SAC U187: Spurs can't score. San An's last five have gone under this total, and two of Sacramento's have, too. Two of three games these teams have played this season have gone under. And no matter what, the Spurs can play defense.

HOU-UTA U191: Three of Houston's last five have been under this total, and one was 191 against the high-scoring Suns. Three of Utah's last four have gone under this. Denver and Phoenix account for three of those eight total games, too, so the totals would be lower if not for them.

[motley]

Indiana Washington 207 Under: a slow game in the making... score would be at around the 90s

Sacramento Kings +4½: spoilers will once again reign... sas have been awful while sac have been great especially at home in arco

[thezbar]

Boston -6.5 Don't see the celts letting up in this spot.
Suns over 230.5 Appears run and gun the whole 48 minutes.

[LT Profits]

HEAT/RAPTORS UNDER 183: It's hard for a game to go Over if only one team is doing all of the scoring. Can Toronto score 130 here?

ROCKETS/JAZZ UNDER 191: What Wyndham said! This is also my front page play, so you could read more there.

[mundane]

Utah Jazz -10
tmac is banged up why even try on this game? once this slips away from rockets i expect tmac to rest and judging from utah's last game, jerry sloan is just relentness - he plays his starter's minutes.

Sacramento Kings +4½
same scenario - once it slips away i dont think pop would risk his stars getting injured. this game will be decided by the 3rd quarter. besides kings are the great spoilers!

[Deke101]

Pacers @ Wizards Over 207: To me this is an easy one, the Pacers had been playing good defense to get to this point, but now they are basically out of the playoff race after losing to Charlotte. The Wizards are still trying to get their team chemistry back before the playoffs. 112-104 Wizards.

Bulls @ Bucks Over 205: This game totaled 225 last meeting two weeks ago. Both teams are playing for nothing but stats and avoiding injuries. 108-103 Bulls win.

[doye]

516 Sacramento Kings +4½

The reason I pick Kings is because they recently have a very good form, they won six of their last eight games overall, and eight of their last ten at Arco Arena. Tonight they going to play against the Spurs at their home ground, Arco Arena. So....is Sacramento Kings!

513 Golden State Warriors +4½

The reason I pick Warriors is because Golden State must win this game to keep alive its chances of making the playoffs. The Warriors have defeated the Suns twice in three meetings so....is Golden State Warriors!

[rake922]

Boston Celtics -6½
BOSTON is 11-2 ATS (+8.8 Units) vs. division opponents this season.

Bulls/Bucks Over 205
Over is 9-1 in Bucks last 10 home games vs. a team with a losing road record

[pokernut9999]

Wash over 207 : No D and both teams should eclipse the 100 mark.


Phoe over 230 .5 : Again no D and both teams can score a bunch.

[szaidi99]

chicago +pts
bucks have mailed it in

cleveland +pts
76ers haved cooled off

[louisvillekid]

i personally ain't playing shit tonight, i've been getting burned left and right the past 2 weeks. i need to quit listening to all the so-called experts on TV, about who needs to win and who is just going to cruise along, and who's going to rest starters and who ain't, this shit is killing me.

#504 Tor -17.5 : obviously the books think the Heat ain't going to show up and have thrown in the towel, at least thats what the experts keep saying.

#514 Phoe -4.5 : seems plausible, since the Suns actually have some inside game, and have shown traces of D lately.

[seaborneq]

Houston +10, sucker line, I'll bite

Sacramento +4.5, Spurs looked liked mudcats yesterday, and are ready for the season to end

[redrum]

bos-6.5 will win this wasy n.y has nothing to play for

blls/bucks o205 both have nothing to play for there will be no d and try to avoid injuries

[gizmo2431]

Toronto Raptors Under 183
Miami has been making my UNDERS hit like crazy, I like them especially since their season comes to an end, and they got nothing to play for! Both teams play slow, lets see this one go UNDER.

San Antonio Spurs -4½
San Antonio coming off of a bad loss yesterday. They really need a win to put them in a better playoff position. They took out their big players last night early to save them for this game. I'm looking for a big win here from San Antonio.

[brock]

501 Indiana Pacers +4½ A must win tonight.
513 Golden State Warriors +4½ A must win tonight.
It's do ore die for these two teams.

[diogee]

512 Houston/Utah Under 191 Both teams buckle down on defense with the playoffs right around the corner.

Golden State Warriors +4½ Warriors are 2-1 against the Suns this year and need this game badly to keep slim playoff hopes alive. Nobody wants to travel to Utah in the first round.

[Junkyard Dog]

507 Boston Celtics -6½ - celtics d-league team would beat the knicks

514 Phoenix Suns -4½ - warriors will have no answer for shaq and amare down low

[goldengoat]

Wizards -4½
i think the pacers are finished and wiz still have hope at 4th

Wizards Under 207
2 of 3 have been under this number between these 2

[msubulldog]

wash/indy under 207

playing this on injuries butler doubtful, arenas questionable for washington and o'neil doubtful for indy.

phoenix -4 1/2

this number say a lot of phoenix starters will not play much bet golden state is really bad on road. will take phoenix and short number as second team can score and golden staqte plays no defense.

[jhippe77]

Houston Rockets +10- I like the Rockets getting DD anytime

Boston Celtics -6½- Knicks are terrible, Boston covers even w/ there bench playing all game

[frostno98]

Boston v Knicks 199 under-Doc rivers philosophy likes the slow pace game, and Knicks don't really have any consistent scorer so it's going low.

Phoenix -4-Dejected Goldenstate warriors will not be mentally be in this game knowing they are realistically eliminated from the playoffs.

[Wrigley]

507 Boston Celtics -6½
This will be celts last game they try to win and then rest the big boys til the playoffs

515 San Antonio Spurs -4½
spurs still playing for something should cover

[sharktank1]

KINGS (+) 4.5
Coach Theus' firery "Let's be the spoliers speech" last week, has seemed to motivate these depleted Kings.
Another upset/cover tonight!

KINGS/SPURS OVER 187
The # is to small, given what's @ stake for the Spurs.

[twtb19]

Houston - Utah
Under 191

Utah has gone under last 4 and Houston last 3.

Sacramento Kings +4½

7 for last 8 ATS and outright wins against Houston, @ Denver and against New Orleans in that time frame.

[VBOMBER]

Phoenix -4.5 and over 230.5 - Not sure why everyone is saying Phx has nothing to play for, there is a great chance Utah ends up as the No. 3 seed if they win out and Phx can grab the #4 seed and HC versus Houston in the 1st round. So I think they come out with their "A" game here and the game should be uptempo to get over the number

[sharktank1]

Another good night of 'cappin.
Congrats to those of us who cashed in tonight!
