Damn Lakers, Lol, it just destroyed our parlay there.

Lebron and Luka was on the floor, but it seems that Lebron is a bit rusty or just playing bad in this game. AsPaolo Banchero and Franz Wagner combined for big 62 points. They still are in the good position for a spot in the playoff, but for sure they don't take his lost to his lightly as they have a good chance to win in this game and improved their W/L column.

After the Lakers ruined our bet yesterday, I guess it's time to try to bounce back, there is lot of games to pick from today as well, but I'm trying not to over complicate things, I'm choosing what I believe should be a easy route. That's Orlando Magic ML over Hornets and Cavaliers ML over Blazers @ 2.10 Odds

Your 2-legged parlay is looking good as of now, the Magic is leading by 10 points going into the third quarter and i think they will win this one. Will tail your pick on the Cavs vs Blazers game, the spread is not so wide so this will be coverable if they win.

A crazy twist right now for me, Charlotte Hornets came out of the locker room in the 3rd quarter with a 22-5 run and are now in the lead, it's still a game within the Magic's reach, but I'm not so sure right, they need to get defensive stops, or this Hornets team might just stun them the same way they did against Cavaliers about a week ago.

They are back on the driver's seat right now, leading by 5 points with 8 minutes to go. That 3rd quarter run by the Hornets changes the tempo of the game but i still think that the Magic will win this close game.

It wasn't an easy game but all that matters was that in the end they did get a win, congratulations on Cavaliers call too, that as well almost went down the wire, the Blazers just wouldn't go away and for each time the Cavaliers were able to get on a mini run the Blazers always responded with their own run too, it was quite an intense game.

Looks like Lillard has been diagnosed with a blood clot in his right calf and is out indefinitely. And that's very bad news for the Bucks and their fans, considering the Bucks qualify for the postseason. In other words, the Bucks are very likely to fail this season because without Lillard, they obviously won't make it to the conference finals, much less the final series.

It's just bad news for the Bucks, without him, it might be very hard for them on who ever they are going to face in the series playoff to win it. They are in the 5th spot. Hopefully we can still see Lillard for the next couple of years. It seems that his body is already giving in and showing signs of wear and tear already.

And again, to hear that Curry is also out indefinitely, Tatum is reported to have a sprain but there is no timeline as well for his comeback. So the healthier the team, the better for now and we can only hope that this is the last one that we will hear a player of that caliber getting injured.

Terrible for the Bucks, now their potential post season run is in a huge jeopardy, even thought they've not been at their best for a while now, Lillard's injury would only make worse. I wish him speedy recovery!

Any news if Tatum is going to play against the Suns?

If not then I will take them as the underdog here, game is at their homecourt, and they are @3.00 underdog so I will take that right. Won their last 4 games and fighting their playoff alive with their 10th spot for a play-in.

Celtics are pretty much not playing for anything, I'm quite sure they wouldn't risk playing, especially if you consider how cautious the Celtics have been with their core starters over the past on month, not of their starters have not missed a number of match, I'm guessing it's all in need bid to have them full fit for the post season.

3+ Odds is really a good value for team that's desperate for win in the Suns, we'll be on opposing side for that one as I already one bet on the Celtics, but good luck, at least that'd mean both of us can't lose our bet.

Will tail you on this one mate. As what @Harkorede have said that the Celtics are not risking their players to injury because they are already got a spot in the playoffs so i think this 3.10 odds for the Suns is worth taking.

What did you think of the end of the Lakers-Pacers game?
LeBron had a bad performance for three quarters, but in the fourth quarter, he made up for it and scored at a decisive moment. In fact, he stole the win from the Pacers, as there were only 0.2 seconds left on the clock.

Yeah, pretty much a cliff hanger win for the Lakers there. When they thought that they are going to lose again, Lebron suddenly found that small gap and uses it to tap it in just in time. Kudos though to the Pacers, even if they are down in this game and even in the last two minutes of the game, they keep on coming back and hitting those big shots. Another play off atmosphere game and I will say that the Lakers are happy and lucky on that last time as Lebron has enough time in the clock. And the very definition of the "game is not over till it's over".

Lebron still  being a driving force in the league at age 40 isn't something you'll not come across everyday, especially with his standards of performance.

The game was really entertaining to say the least, and Lakers did catch a lucky break there thanks to Lebron James. Despite going into halftime with a significant lead, they got outplayed in the 3rd and then lead again by as many as 13 points in the 4th Quarter, they almost squandered as well too.
