Who's Trying Today In NBA?

[KRIT]

Okay help me understand who is trying and who isn't in the NBA today. This is what I came up with.

Detroit, Charlotte and Miami all playing to make the playoffs.

Toronto said they will play for home court over the Warriors in the finals.

Utah and Denver only half game apart, would assume both will play out their season.

OKC can play for seeding.

[Mr KLC]

Doing Detroit and Portland ML as part of a parlay.

[shadymcgrady]

It's the NBA, that's the question or gamble every night of season

[shadymcgrady]

I would think Denver wants the 2 seed over Houston

[KRIT]

Doing Detroit and Portland ML as part of a parlay.

Lakers have surprised their last two games, beating Clippers and Jazz. Don't think Portland has anything to play for today.

[Hman]

Almost like last week of NFL regular season

[JIBBBY]

Charlotte is.. https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/charlotte-hornets-cleveland-cavaliers-2019040905/

Got to think teams that are near the bottom are tanking for draft picks.

[SmokingKing]

teams that are in must win desperation mode doesnt mean they will win.

good example was Miami Heat the other day. just because it is doesnt mean it isnt..

[t-wizzle]

Houston needs to win to secure the 3 seed. If they lose, Portland can overtake them.

Could be considered meaningless, but if not, still hardly actionable for risk taking.

"Secure the 3 seed"

lmao

[europe_baller]

yeah if blazers win both games(easy games on paper) and houston losses tonight they avoid potential gs matchup in second round.. so I think both houston and portland want that 3 seed..

[jjgold]

Lakers a very live dog

"Secure the 3 seed"

lmao

My point was that they’d finish no worse than 3rd with a chance at finishing 2nd if everything falls in place. I’m sure they’d rather have some control over their own destiny by winning tonight, especially since it’s their season finale.

[degennn]

Wade's last home game...I think they win but dont cover. 6 seems tall even w.o embiid

[JaimeMiro]

I'm on Philly straight up... Miami sucks

Fair enough.

[asiagambler]

I decided to take a break from handicapping today and just bet all overs

[SmokingKing]

hornets, pistons lose. heat win.

[asiagambler]

hornets, pistons lose. heat win.

I wanted to bet Pistons live just now but they were only +110 down 16!

[RudyRuetigger]

i cant catch a fish in my fukkin ponds

no way im going to try to throw it in the fukkin ocean today

[IBetYou]

Blake Griffin wants to go on holiday ;/

[KRIT]

Playoffs would be better with Wade anyways. Think Miami is the biggest long shot of the three to make it though.

[JIBBBY]

Charlotte is.. https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/charlotte-hornets-cleveland-cavaliers-2019040905/

https://sports.yahoo.com/hungry-horn...7260--nba.html

Hornets up at half.. Need them to win here. This should be a win...

[JIBBBY]

Blake Griffin wants to go on holiday ;/

I would to playing out of the depressed and run down city of Detroit for a year now..

Remember he played in LA, Cali for years. That's a weather and culture change shock for sure..

[SmokingKing]

dont bother..

unless pistons shows sign of a 4th qt comeback and are down by 8 or 10 then go for the live ML. this team sucks

He said he was happy there recently. They've always had a great fan base. I'm with you I think he misses CA. He's no good in the playoffs in any case... if they lose tonight it will just save disappointment a week from now.

[IBetYou]

Thunder/ Rockets up soon. If the Thunder lose they will most likely draw the Warriors in round 1. Needless to say it's a huge game for them. A win for the Rockets might get them the #2 seed but do they need it? Thunder lead the series 2-1...

[MC PICKS]

NBA - [2506] TOTAL u115-110
(2H Boston Celtics vrs 2H Washington Wizards)

What else is he gonna say? This town is run down and full of crime, It's ugly and I miss the beach. It's freezing here in winter and I desperately miss living in LA.. I hate playing in this shit hole!!..

Lol.. That would be BAD PR...

[Bdolan33]

Memphis at -400 up 20 at halftime is free money

[IBetYou]

Ha! I'm a Euro so I wouldn't know. Sounds like one of those mid-America spots that got Trump elected.
