NBA Playoffs 2018 - Handicap Series / Golden State Warriors (-1,5) - San Antonio Spurs

Congratulations to all the company of Infobeto and happy birthday! Due to the previous days there was not enough time needed to study and so I did not play anything from the early hours of Friday, although there were very interesting games and thrilling fights until yesterday, when the regular season ended, both for the placement in view playoffs, as well as for the last tickets. So from Saturday night the lies end and it's time for real basketball, the playoffs of the magical world of the NBA.

As far as the betting part is concerned, my game will be more collected and most likely not everyday, as it was during the regular season, without this meaning of course that I do not believe in the options that I will play and upload. I'm equally of the opinion that when the coupon is smaller in volume every day, it favors the player in his reading, since he does not have to focus on many different events.

But let's go to the pure bets with the companies today to open the markets for the first matches, but also for long-term bets in the post season. So looking at one by one the pairs of the first round and the various options they offer us I came to some that I think are of particular value to bet, with the market expert being the first '' Handicap series '' to stoiximan choosing them Golden State Warriors to win the turn against San Antonio Spurs with -1,5 games, in performance 1,95.

The regular season for the Warriors ended a bit numb, after suffering the heaviest defeat in the last three years by Utah with a difference of 40+ points. In general, the champions made some unexpected defeats this year, as a result of which they lost the absolute home advantage, also for the first time after 3 years, closing with a record of 58-24 and finishing in 2nd place in the West. The reasons for the "drop" in the number of wins and the mediocre image on the floor in some matches are first of all the frequent injuries that the Californians had to deal with, with a more typical example being a period of about 2 weeks, maybe a little longer, which they did not have any of their 4 superstars available, and secondly that they themselves had decided and stated before the season even started that this year they will go more relaxed in the regular season. This is exactly what happened with the Golden State never really loading during the year for a long time and just waiting for the start of the playoffs, while even when it seemed that the Rockets were claiming the top of the Western region, again the champions showed do not burn as they believe and it is true that they can easily break the headquarters of Houston. "My general assessment is that they will win the championship again this year with relative ease, since after the return of the team leader, Steph Curry, it seems inconceivable to me that some of the teams that will be on their way to win this basketball '' monster '' 4 times (I have already bet personally to get the Golden State and this year the title since this option was raised by the book to 2,20).

On the other hand, San Antonio was faced for the first time this year with being left out of the playoffs after 20 consecutive years, but coach Pop found the way again and although he had at his disposal a very mediocre compared to what we were used to roster and in front of the terrible LaMarcus Aldridge led the Spurs in the post season. Bad lies, however, without Kawhi Leonard, the Texans do not have aspirations to go far this year, of course if they had him in their lineup it is a given that they would have finished higher.

In summary, if the Warriors had Curry available, who would logically lose the entire first round, at this point we would not even be talking about going for a clear sweep, but this absence combined with the mediocre image at the end of the regular season led the companies to give us this handicap. Personally I find it very difficult for the Spurs to win even one game even with this data and I see the series ending somewhere between 4-0 and 4-1, since the champions have the "know how" and the material which will easily lead them to the second round. After all, Kevin Durant showed his intentions to lead, as long as Curry is absent, from his return and then, together with Thompson and Green, they can "kill" San Antonio, without losses.
