Wednesday NBA betting: Big favorites on the board
Odds courtesy of OddsShark.com
While there were a few upsets in the playoff openers around the NBA, the three teams hosting Game 2s of their first-round series on Wednesday night all won their first games with relative ease.
Wednesday’s opener features the Eastern Conference fifth-seeded Indiana Pacers at the No. 4 Boston Celtics, who are 7.5-point favorites. The Pacers were outscored in just one quarter in Game 1, but it was a 26-8 doozy in the third as Boston rallied for the 84-74 victory. Those eight points were a franchise-record low for the Pacers in any playoff quarter, and their 74 points were the fewest in the postseason since April 27, 2013, in Atlanta. Indiana’s regular-season low this year was 89 points.
Just one Indiana starter scored in double digits: Bojan Bogdanovic with 12. Indiana shot just 33.3 percent overall, 6-for-27 from deep and even missed nine of 21 free throws. Not like Boston was too much better in hitting 36.4 percent from the field. Kyrie Irving and Marcus Morris each led with 20 points. The Celtics have covered 10 of their past 12 first-round playoff games.

Unibet Open to return to Paris, Online Series returns for pop number 5
The poker peeps behind the Unibet Open announce a 2019 Parisian stop, operations in France switch from iPoker to Relax Gaming, and the Unibet Online Series returns for Round 5.
If B.A. Baracus was a poker player, he would have loved the Unibet Open. Ok, so Dave Coupon…Lappin…sanctimonious Tommy Tanker…whatever name he’s going by this week would have had to get a little bit 10 Rillington Place to get his arse to Malta, but in the main, the man with more gold rings than Maurice Hawkins, would have loved the trains and automobiles, and it continues with the announcement of Unibet Open Paris.
The team that received more nominations at the Global Poker Awards (GPA) than Daniel Negreanu will head to Paris Nov 28 – Dec 1 where the €1,100 Unibet Open Main Event will be the star attraction. The venue and the full schedule is still beneath the tip of the iceberg, and with a trip to Notre Dame scratched off the bucket list it had better be a good one.
It’s brilliant news for Parisian poker lovers who have seen live tournaments vanish from the French region like the shrimps that used to use the tentacles of the Portuguese Man O’ War as skipping ropes.

EPL week 34 review: Arsenal with a messy win against Watford
The last remnants of Week 34 of the English Premier League have been brushed under the carpet, and Arsenal moves into a Champions League spot after narrowly beating ten-men Watford at Vicarage Road.
While the whole world watched Daenerys Targaryen settle into Winterfell with all the compatibility of dill and a cut of fillet steak, Arsenal slipped into the Champions League places.
The Gunners pull into the parking space marked ‘4th’ courtesy of a +5 superior goal difference ahead of London rivals Chelsea. Spurs remain a point ahead of them in third, and Man Utd lag behind by two points in sixth.
The performance was more Bognor Regis than Broadway with Watford the superior team throughout, despite playing for 80-minutes a man light after the ref sent Troy Deeney to put his baseball cap on backwards after elbowing Lucas Torreira in the mush.
