The NBA regular season is in its final week. The seeds may have been decided, but you can be sure that the games that will be played will offer a quality live betting experience.
Tomorrow has a host of games with the league’s best teams. With the playoffs right around the corner, however, this is the chance for the lesser teams to upset the betting odds and sweep the rug under the postseason-bound squads.
Will we see the script reversed this time around?
Indiana Pacers @ Philadelphia 76ers (April 11, 07:00 GMT+8)
The Indiana Pacers are still far from safety in the Eastern Conference: the last couple of games could decide the playoff dreams of three rosters. Fortunately for them, beating the Philadelphia 76ers is more than an achievable task for them. The question lies on the lead they will gain by the end of regulation.
Given by how the Sixers have been losing, it’s not harmful to bet for Indiana -8.00 @ 1.94.
Brooklyn Nets @ Boston Celtics (April 11, 07:30 GMT+8)
The Nets are on an unbelievable run of form that they could have badly used during the season’s infancy. A win against the strong Celtics won’t get them anywhere at this point, but it will make the random array of players look good to their next employers.
I don’t think Boston will bow to the Nets as they have their own shadow-chasing to do. The Celtics will crush the visitors so -10.50 @ 1.95 is not a bad handicap, after all.
Cleveland Cavaliers @ Miami Heat (April 11, 07:30 GMT+8)
This match is a must-win for both parties: Cleveland want to keep their homecourt advantage going into the playoffs while Miami need the W to steal the eighth seed from Chicago. Goran Dragic and Hassan Whiteside will try to stop the Cavs, but who can really stop LeBron James at his best?
Washington Wizards @ Detroit Pistons (April 11, 08:00 GMT+8)
The Pistons’ playoff hopes were painfully extinguished late in the season, but General Manager Jeff Bower is looking at a lot of future for this Pistons squad. Winning against the Wizards is a difficult proposition, but they have the squad to make the game competitive enough.
Orlando Magic @ Chicago Bulls (April 11, 08:00 GMT+8)
The Bulls are in dire need of a win to keep hold of the eighth seed and keep Miami out of the playoff picture. The Orlando Magic aren’t the toughest competition in the East, making this game one for Chicago to lose.
Charlotte Hornets @ Milwaukee Bucks (April 11, 08:00 GMT+8)
The Bucks have a chance of snagging the fifth seed if they beat the mediocre Hornets. With nothing much to play for, Kemba Walker and company are only playing for bragging rights. Giannis Antetokounmpo should ensure the win to boost his team’s form for the playoffs.
San Antonio Spurs @ Portland Trail Blazers (April 11, 10:00 GMT+8)
Damian Lillard is mighty thankful that his Trail Blazers are through to the playoffs after some heroics from Russell Westbrook. They can now focus on tuning up for the playoffs by winning against the tough San Antonio squad. The Spurs are as tough as the Warriors and would make for a good rehearsal.
Houston Rockets @ Los Angeles Clippers (April 11, 10:30 GMT+8)
The Rockets and Clippers are third and fourth respectively, but their seeds don’t tell the entire story. The Clippers cannot advance to third with a win over Houston as the win difference is too big. I don’t see either of the squads gaining something out of this, so it’s likely to see stars sitting out of this game.
Utah Jazz @ Golden State Warriors (April 11, 10:30 GMT+8)
The Dubs are hard to beat and will be an indomitable obstacle for the Jazz when they visit the Oracle Arena. With Kevin Durant finally ready to play for Golden State, Gordon Hayward won’t find relief in Klay Thompson sitting out.
