    Home teams on the brink of elimination. Lines begging you to take the dogs. Sixers and C's are better teams right now, but not so much better that it's worth following recent trends right off the cliff. At worst I think you'd split here, but I think both might cash just because it's the NBA and it is what it is, you know?

      No one is betting on either of these teams right now.

        Yea everyone and their brother is on PHI right now. ML and PHI +5. I actually want to see if this causes the Bulls line to drop so that that I can jump on them.

          I like the Bulls a little more than the Hawks. Atlanta is very unpredictable. Chicago gave a gutsy effort without Rose and Noah last game; they were still right there until the end at Philly. Given the situation tonight, I think they win and cover.

              I'm on both Bulls and Hawks. I also put em in a crazy 'let's make these games actually interesting' parlay.

                  Hard not to take the home team facing elimination. I'm on CHI, ATL, and most likely going to be on Indiana. Still not sure about the Lakers game.

                      1 - 1 at worst.

                      lines have moved in favor of both favs.

                        are the bulls and hawks even good enough to win, there is no rose, maybe no noah, and atlanta is banged up too

                          I'd watch the O/U here, not the team lines. Spreads are really close to call. I'm on Celts U and Sixers U. No Noah and Rose is alot of points to give up and Hawks will be d'ing up avoiding elimination.

                            Something tells me to take the Hawks but then I realized how many terrible efforts they have given throughout the last few years so I will lay off and watch them likely win.

                                Huge Bulls fan, but still scratching my head over this number. I've made adjustments to my #'s and have the Bulls -5.3, but obviously this isn't the same Bulls team I watched all year.

                                Books have adjusted the total down big time after the first game. Tough to lay the under on a number of 172. It might hit, but damn, odds are you'll sweat that total all game. This game could get real physical and if the refs keep blowing the whistle or feel like they are losing control, it could be a parade to the free throw line and really extend the game.

                                I'm still back and forth, but betting this game live seems the only way to go. Slight lean to the Celtics, but both these games are really tough to call. If it wasn't the playoffs, I'd just pass. gl

                                            I think the Bulls/Sixers line begs you to take the underdog. I'll go with Chicago possibly. Just not sure if LIVE or not.

                                              Indy should blow them out, but trusting Indy to win by DD isn't the easiest thing. Vogel and the Pacers have a tendency to take the foot off the pedal in the 4th quarter and play not to lose.

                                                  Thing is about double digit lines is it fuks with bettors minds, many bettors don't like laying double digits, they are fine with 9.5, but have trouble laying the ten +.

                                                  I personally think a lot of the bettors are thinking 10 with the Magic is a gift, I don't.
