Update on the NBA play offs

The Indiana Pacers are entering the postseason on a high note.
The Pacers clinched a playoff spot in emphatic fashion on Sunday with a 157-115 win over the Atlanta Hawks. The point total tied a franchise record for a single game and secured a playoff berth.
With the No. 6 seed, the Pacers will avoid the NBA play-in tournament and face the No. 3 seed Milwaukee Bucks in the first round of the playoffs.
I have had a few bets on them at 250/1 and they are still available at 125/1 at Hills. They have already beaten the Bucks a few times this season and their fast pace disrupted Giannis and co.

    Indy takes Milwaukee to a seventh game. The Pacers beat the Bucks in four of five regular-season games, and those were with a healthy Antetokounmpo on the court. The Pacers' speed and 3-point-heavy offense has been too much for the Bucks to handle this season, and with the question marks surrounding Giannis' calf injury

    They are still available at 125/1. But only 15/8 to get past Bucks in the first play off round.

    Game one of seven is on 22nd April at 3am and Bucks are only 1.5 favs at home. I think the bookies know the Bucks are in trouble if Giannis is not able to play.

    Hammered in game one, but won the next 3 and now just require to win one more. Lilliard is now also injured, so Pacers could win the series 4-1 (which was a generous 11/1) Pacers are now 33/1 to win the title outright, so my 250/1 each way is looking healthy.

    Boston Celtics are big favs to win the entire thing and they will be a massive hurdle as they are in the Eastern Conf!

    I put a small bet of The Pacers to win the series against Bucks 4-1 @ 11/1 and a few quid at 15/8 to beat the Bucks outright (now 1/16on). Even if they do not get to the later stages my bets will be covered and i had enjoyed watching them.

    Pacers into the last 8 after beating Bucks 4-2. Now facing the NY Knicks who rely on ONE player to carry them and score most of their points. Shut down Brunston and Pacers will get into the last 4 and probably have to fave Boston Celtics ( who they have already beaten a couple of times in the regular season!

    Pacers eventually beat the New York 4-3 and are into the last 4. They play the favourite's Boston Celtics for a place in the final, and game one is tomorrow night at 1am. Indiana have already beaten Boston a couple of times during the regular season and they have a realistic chance of progresssing.

    Thanks @SCOTFOX



    Looking at the betting, Boston Celtics are home & hosed & the Pacers are out with the washing, but you never know, they've come this far & anything is possible. As Alan Clark famously used to say, ACHAB.

    Keep the updates coming please.
