Cleveland Cavaliers-Boston Celtics Over: Game 1 fell well below the total of 205. Clev shot 36% from the field and 4 for 26 from the 3 point line. Now we have a 1 point reduction in the total for game 2. I do forecast Clev to have a better offensive game than game 1 especially a big response from Lebron after his game 1. Bost played as well as they could on the defensive side and they are 3rd in home defense but I do project Clev to score well above the awful 83 of game 1.

Boston Celtics over Philadelphia 76ers Game 3: So Bost was a dog of 4 in the games at home. They won both games and not you double that as the venue switches to Phil. Ok? This young Bost team is not going to be intimidated after having played 2 in Mil to start the layoffs. Everyone is expecting Phil to come out breathing fire and that may well just happen. However Phil is young as well all the pressure is on them down 0-2. Bost will attempt to slow the pace play a half court game making these points offered a mountain to overcome. I have this game at 7.0 giving us excellent value.

Miami Heat over Philadelphia 76ers: Trust the process right? With 2 wins in Mia Phil now leads the series 3-1. Give Phil all the credit in the world. Now at home this young inexperienced team has a chance to close out the series. Perhaps but they are also being asked to win this by double digits. That is a completely different issue. Mia won game 2 on this court outright. They are not just going to roll over and go home. Game 1 line was 5.5 game 2 6.5 now a big overreaction to the Phil wins in Mia.

Boston Celtics over Milwaukee Bucks: Mil got a huge game 1 performance from Middleton to force O.T. Can you really expect him to duplicate that performance in game2? He is a good player not great. Giannis is great and will get even better but when you only have to focus on 1 key guy especially in the playoffs that task becomes easier. Conversely Bost had 5 players with 19+ points in game 1. Rozier Brown and Tatum now have one playoff game under their belt playing together.

Utah Jazz over Portland Trailblazers: This game is for the #3 seed in the west so the importance cannot be overestimated. Ut is simply the better team right now with more energy and gas left in the tank. Ut has won6 in a row and will play their 3rd game in 4 days. However yest at home that was simply a walk over vs. Gs. Port has lost 4 in a row and only get one day off returning from a 4 game road trip. This will be their 10th court change in their last 11 games. I expect a slow pace grinder of a game which suits the style of Ut perfectly.

Indiana Pacers-Sacramento Kings Under: Sac has no continuity on offense pieces have not fit all year as they rank 29th in scoring offense at home. Meanwhile Ind has really stepped up on defense as they fight for home court adv in the playoffs. Ind has bigger battles on the road vs. Lac and Den so this is simply a win and move on situation. I have this game at 193.5 giving us excellent value.

Utah Jazz-San Antonio Spurs Under: Going to be an intense game with huge playoff implications as well as two teams playing very well. Ut is 28th in pace on the road while SA is 18th at home. Both teams know what it takes for them to win and that is defense. Ut is 3rd on the road for def while SA is 2nd at home. I expect a slow pace grinder of a game. I have this game at 185.5 giving us excellent value.

Indiana Pacers over Charlotte Hornets: Part of the inflated line Ind played yest aft won a buzzer beater against Atl. Ind has not done well on zero days’ rest. However in this case they had 3 days’ off prior to yest. Charl returns home from a 7 game road trip. They have not played at home since Feb 13th. Charl ranks 29th in off fg % . In a game that I expect to go down to the last possession as to the s/u winner the points provided give us excellent value. It also helps that Geroge is heating up again as well.
