These are my predictions to win every National Basketball Association game during the 2024-25 season on the 18th of each month!

Notes for Friday, April 18th, 2025

The all-time won-lost records for things that have "hit" with Zachary Hubbard's sports notes for the NBA playoffs so far!

The Orlando Magic got their 42nd regular season and postseason win of the NBA season on Jackie Robinson Day. "Jackie" = 42 (reverse reduction).  

The Atlanta Hawks are still on 19 road wins while the Magic are on 19 road losses on the 19 date numerology.

The 19 date numerology ACTUALLY failed on the 2nd NBA game on Tuesday, April 15th, 2025, as the Memphis Grizzlies picked up their 20th road loss.

Zachary Hubbard provided NO REAL SPORTS PREDICTIONS/NOTES for the Wednesday, April 16th, 2025, NBA games for whatever reason.

The home teams both won on Tuesday, April 15th, and both road teams won on Wednesday, April 16th! 

So should we expect one road team to win today and one home team to win today?   

Zach's won-lost record for the NBA playoffs/postseason is 0-1 for the "Gematria" he "provided" on his sports notes for his top prediction to win! If that happens again today on Friday, April 18th, 2025, the home team will win the Eastern Conference game today. Zach's stretch suggestions (meaning things that can/will happen in the long-term future as opposed to the short-term future like today) are 0-1 this NBA postseason. At least for Zach's Lebron James notes exclusively for today, April 18th, 2025, Lebron's all-time playoff wins cannot be dependent or tied to a particular opponent of the Los Angeles Lakers unlike his notes about the Hawks possibly playing the Celtics this postseason in the Eastern Conference quarterfinals as "Celtics" = 46 (reverse reduction). 

Lebron James = 183 in the reverse cipher of Gematria. "Oklahoma City" = 191 in the reverse cipher of Gematria. 

Zach's notes actually don't make sense about the Memphis Grizzlies today. I am going to tag Rick James in this post so my post doesn't get deleted by Zach or someone else (which it shouldn't be getting deleted anyway!) I am just trying to help all of you win your sports predictions today for the NBA with my thoughts and commentary! So the Memphis Grizzlies could actually pick up their 52nd win of the entire season today (including the preseason, regular season and postseason) if they win today! Zach's notes don't make sense as he seems to be implying that the Memphis Grizzlies will have 52 regular season and postseason wins this season if they win four games against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference quarterfinals! But that doesn't make sense because they will have 53 regular season and postseason wins if they win today and also if they win four games against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference quarterfinals! The Memphis Grizzlies won 48 games in the NBA regular season this season! "Oklahoma City" = 52 reduction and "OKC" = 52 in reverse. 

If Zach's top Gematria suggestion is wrong again the home team will win the Western Conference game today. Zach's stretch suggestion may be a good thing to go with today as today's play-in games are kind of like a new round of the NBA playoffs compared to Tuesday's and Wednesday's games. Today (Friday) is also the third day after Zach's stretch suggestion on Tuesday as things may flip or change for the NBA playoffs every two or three days. Like if the NBA would have played games on Thursday (yesterday) when there were actually no games played on Thursday (yesterday), perhaps maybe we should have assumed all of the away teams would have won since the home teams won on Tuesday and the away teams won on Wednesday. So to "flip it" or "change it" the NBA couldn't just let the home teams win again on Thursday (as in every two days)! Away teams are 2-0 this NBA postseason in games that result in elimination from the playoffs!     

So I guess those are my NBA playoff notes for right now analyzing Zach's playoff notes! I wish someone would post more detailed notes about the date numerology for the NBA for this regular season and this postseason (and that person doesn't have to be Zachary Hubbard), so that is just something to think about for the long-term future perhaps even for next season/next year! Like how often are all NBA teams failing to hit on a certain date numerology for like overall won-lost record and for home and away games and for how many games that a team is above or below a .500 winning percentage and for a specific overall game number and even for a specific home or away game number? Answers to these questions would give Gematria even MORE POWER! I hope I will eventually get to show all of you my ideas for the long-term future about this and this is why the people who dislike me the most should stop blackballing me (just because I may disagree with Zachary Hubbard sometimes) especially if you really want to know the truth! 

Like, I think it would be cool to find out an overall won-lost record (and perhaps a winning percentage I guess) for how often a certain Gematria cipher is not successful or successful, whether Zachary Hubbard suggests it (or someone else does) for the NBA or for any sport! 

The point of this post is to NOT CRITICIZE Zachary Hubbard but to analyze his notes and to tell everyone the truth in a totally objective way whether that is good or that is not good for Zachary Hubbard! 

...

On the one date numerology for the National Basketball Association (NBA) for the 2024-25 NBA Playoffs/Postseason on Tuesday, April 15th, 2025, the following happened!: 

The Atlanta Hawks moved three games below .500 for regular season and postseason won-lost records for this season! The Hawks failed to be just one game below .500! The Hawks stayed on 19 away wins on the 19 date numerology. 

The Orlando Magic moved one game above .500 for regular season and postseason won-lost records for this season! The Magic were going to be one game above or below .500 for the regular season and postseason this season regardless of the win or loss result on Tuesday! The Magic stayed on 19 home losses on the 19 date numerology. 

So clearly, the home-away thing for the date numerology was a bigger priority than the overall won-lost record! 

The Memphis Grizzlies DID NOT stay on 19 home losses on Tuesday on the 19 date numerology. 

On the two date numerology on Wednesday, April 16th, 2025, the following happened!: 

The Miami Heat picked up their 38th win on the 38 date numerology. The Heat also only had 40 away games in the regular season. 

The Dallas Mavericks played 42 away games in the regular season.

The Sacramento Kings, like the Atlanta Hawks, failed to win their 41st game of the regular season and postseason combined on Wednesday. The Kings succeeded in finish their season two or more games below .500 for the regular season and postseason combined, something that wouldn't have happened if they won on Wednesday. The Kings also stayed on 20 home wins on the 20 date numerology and they finished at home in the regular season and postseason exactly two games below .500! (So perhaps there is still life for the Atlanta Hawks today on Friday, April 18th, 2025, to win today!)

On the four date numerology, on Friday, April 18th, 2025, the following can happen!:

The Heat can be four games below .500 on the road this regular season and postseason combined with a win today on the four date numerology!

The Hawks only played 40 regular season games at home. Today is their 41st home game of the regular season and postseason combined! The Hawks can fall to 40-44 in the regular season and postseason and finish four games below .500. The Hawks also could stay on 40 wins on the 40 date numerology. Or the Hawks could win and be three games above .500 at home and also pick up their 22nd home win of the regular season and postseason on the 22 date numerology. 

The Dallas Mavericks could do the same thing as the Hawks possibly could do today and be 40-44 to end their season in the regular season and postseason combined and be four games below .500.

The Memphis Grizzlies could stay on 49 wins for the regular season and postseason combined on the 49 date numerology. 

So I guess either team could win either of these games today on Friday, April 18th, 2025! Miami and Dallas both had to win to get here so maybe both of those teams should be the favorites today even though they are both road teams for the second straight playoff game this season! The Heat and Grizzlies both winning or the Hawks and Mavericks both winning might be the best way to predict to win today even though you might not win either game! Or I guess a more safer option is to pick both home teams or both road teams to win today and you probably have a better shot to actually win today!
