It’s still only early in the conference semi final stage of the playoffs but we’ve already seen it all, from record-setting blowouts to controversial final plays, mixed in with some overtime and a stunning comeback. Today we’re in for Game 2 of Raptors v Heat. Miami took Game 1 and home court advantage, in overtime. …

If the last three games of these NBA playoffs have proven anything, it’s that bookmakers are as human as the rest of us. After two wins to the Toronto Raptors and one to the Oklahoma City Thunder, all as pronounced underdogs, today’s Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals again shows the Golden State Warriors …

As we get toward the mid-point of the opening round of playoff matches, the results have mainly (with one obvious exception in Oklahoma City) gone as expected. Today, The Big Dog is casting his eye over a series that is heading to a new city, with the hosts having lost the opening pair of games. …

Yesterday was a real case of “what might have been” for The Big Dog, with a 1.5-point win, a 0.5-point loss and a 3.5-point loss on a day where every play looked like a winner and a loser, at some point. Today’s action sees another three games on the card but The Big Dog is …

After five-and-a-half long months of grind, the final day of regular season action is finally here. As is usually the case, the majority of the huge 14-game card is meaningless but you could be forgiven for thinking there are only two games happening today. Despite some potential re-shuffling within the final order of the Eastern …

After a successful overs double, in Minnesota and Utah, The Big Dog is looking to make the most of a winning streak that sits at four. Looking at today’s action, with a lot of speculation that key players could be rested across all five games, the test will be finding value in areas that are …

After no action yesterday, due to the number of unreasonably early (for Australian fans) start times, The Big Dog is back for Tuesday. The Eastern Conference playoff eight are set but the Mavericks, Jazz and Rockets are still locked in a battle for the final two seeds in the Western Conference. All three teams are …

A 12-3 run for the home side in the final 2:51 of yesterday’s game, in Detroit, was enough to blow the “Play of the Day” out of the water. Shaking off that disappointment, we’re met with another day of slim pickings in results markets but a quick glance at Player Performance markets has provided The …
