5/8/24
Indiana Pacers +4.5 -105 1.05u to win 1u
Indiana Pacers ML +171 0.5u to win 0.85u

Only one game tonight between the Pacers and Knicks and I'm expecting another competitive game. Game 1 was nip and tuck and the Knicks were fortunate to prevail. I decided to play the Pacers here both ATS and sprinkle half a unit on the ML because I think they're live to win a game here even in front of jacked Garden crowd. I expect the Pacers to play better tonight and honestly they had a shot in game 1 to win so I'm taking them here because I think this will be a close competitive series throughout because these teams are evenly matched despite the fact that I do think the Knicks win the series. I just feel like this will be a long series after watching game one come down to the wire so I'm on the Pacers to bounce back tonight and get game 2 on the road to even the series.

We're tailing you tonight.

A little bigger bet than normal for me tonight (its only a nickle) but I absolutely believe you got this one pegged.

Lets go Pacers.

Sorry I let you down man I thought we were good but it's almost like the Pacers relaxed because Brunson was down and they went into halftime up 10. When he came back it ignited the Knicks and fueled their comeback. We'll see what happens when this series shifts to Indiana but it appears the Knicks have command of this series because they have the best player in the series and he has a better supporting cast than Haliburton. The one wild card though is how hurt is OG Anunoby because that dude is a stud and him being down could hurt the Knicks whose depth is being tested in this series.

Playoff record: 17-19 -4.26 Units

It was great the first half.... easy peasy. Then the wheels came of in 2H.
On to the next play.

5/9/24
Boston Celtics 1H TT o59 -115 1.15u to win 1u
Dallas/OKC o217 -108 1.08u to win 1u

2 plays for tonight on the 2 game card we have in store for us. First up I took Boston team total o59 in the 1H. This is one of those auto plays that keeps presenting itself to us whenever Boston is at home. You can play Boston 1H ATS in general but I didn't want to lay 8 or even 9 points although I do think that its likely Boston goes into halftime up double digits against a helpless Cavs squad. The Celts are clearly better and while they did throw in a clunker in game 2 of their first round series against Miami I don't think that happens here because they know it benefits them greatly to get this series over as quickly as possible. So I'm going with them scoring at least 60 points in the first half because they have been an offensive juggarnaut at home and I don't see that stopping here against Cleveland who doesn't match up well with Boston at all.

For my second play I took the over 217 in the Dallas/OKC game. I think Dallas plays with a greater sense of urgency and this one hopefully stays competitive throughout. Kyrie and Luka have to play better for Dallas to have a chance and I think they will so we will see points in this one. The only reason game 1 didn't go over is because it was a blowout and the combination of missed free throws as well as Dallas pulling their starters with 5 minutes left led to an under in game 1. I don't think that happens here and we get a total that soars over 217.

Would you rate one or the other of these plays as a better bet?

If I were looking to tail one I'd probably tail the Celtics 1H TT over 59. They led the league in first half scoring this year with 62.6 ppg so I think 59 is a low number for them especially at home against a team that they're better than.

Dropping the other nickel on this one.
Lets go...

1-1 tonight as Boston played like crap the way that they sometimes do in the playoffs and we don't get our first half team total over. At least the total went way over in the OKC/Dallas game as Luka bounced back like you knew he would in game 2. Tomorrow we have two games so I'll be back with some more plays.
