One thing for certain today: The Cavs have NO INTEREST in winning the game today. Waiting for the oddsmakers to post.
 
Why they got no interest?
This is not important game to them, but why wouldn't they win, if Boston play poorly?

Of course if Boston plays poorly they can win, but from a motivational standpoint, this game means everything to Boston, and NOTHING at all to Cleveland. I expect LeBron, Love, and Kyrie to sit.

Teams played on 4/10. Boston won 99-90 in Cleveland. From what I've read Cleveland WANTS to play Boston in round 1. Beating them does nothing, but hurt the odds of that happening.
 
Huge games for both Thunder and Pelicans, but both are dogs, because big motivation is also on the other side, as Pacers battling for playoffs and Rockets for the second place in the West.

Games in LA, DC, Detroit - have zero meaning.
Game in Denver can be about some tanking, but probably got nothing to play for as well.
Huge game in Milwaukee, as Bucks with a win will almost lock the 6th place, while Nets still battle for the playoffs, but with a win, will be within one game from 6th place.

I'm almost sure that no team wants to finish 7th and the difference between 7th and 6th place can mean really a lot here, especially if Toronto finish 3rd. I would say that teams will be looking to avoid Cleveland, Chicago, Atlanta - in that order - all hoping to get the Raptors...
 
Leaning Nets. Bucks have been horrible for over a month now, Nets one of hottest in league. Williams, Johnson, and Lopez playing like team envisioned.
 
Some of my Sunday Notes:

- Already bet Boston at -5.5, as I was waiting for a number to pop. Reading between the lines, it is clear to me that the Cavs (who have locked up the 2 seed), want to face the C's.
- In Milwaukee, both teams are playing for something. That being said, the Nets are playing excellent ball as of late, the Bucks have been flat out horrible. 7-13 SU last 20, outscored by 92 pts over that span. Injuries have played a role, but so has the lack of experience. When looking at the total today, remember, these teams have gone into triple OT twice this season.
- Charlotte and Det both are done for the year, but Det believes they have something....Charlotte? Not so much.

Working on later games...interested to hear some thoughts.
 
Mate, Kidd against his former team... in a big game for both teams...
I think that Bucks and Kidd will leave everything on the floor tonight...

I took Nets since it's a system play for me, but though I lean the same way, not sure I would have pulled the trigger otherwise...
 
Also, talking about former teams, first game for Karl in Denver, as the rival's team coach...
 
Divol,

Good point on the Kidd angle. At the end of the day, I never got the +120 I sought on Brooklyn so I passed. Looking at the Kings game, after seeing the Karl quote you pointed out.

I know the Rockets are playing w/ purpose, but anyone else feel the game is shaded a bit high? These teams battled on 3/25 in Houston, with the Rockets only getting to 95 pts, about 10 pts below their average.
 
RE: Wash game

"Wall admitted the possibility of playing the Hawks in the second round of the playoffs makes Sunday’s tilt more than the meaningless regular-season game it ultimately is; the Hawks aren’t playing for anything and the Wizards are virtually locked into the fifth seed barring a collapse from the Toronto Raptors or Chicago Bulls. Washington wants to generate some confidence and avoid a season-series sweep. But health remains paramount and Wall has two games after Sunday to return and establish rhythm going into the postseason."
 
Yeah, it's all about grabbing the numbers. Took Wizards -2, about 5 minutes before it went down...

NICE! There really is a shit ton of money to be made this last week with proper anticipation.

Considering ATL + points. Resting guys is nothing new to them at this point....
 
Wouldn't be surprised to see Dallas drop tonight, although early market moves say otherwise.
