The Celtics played so well on Sunday that they had now-analyst and Celtics legend Paul Pierce claiming that this series was over after one game. He said. “I don’t know where the Bucks go from here!” Did the lopsided result change public perception and create value for Milwaukee backers? Matt Lowry gives his NBA prediction.
The Raptors took three of the four regular season games both straight up and against the spread. In the trio of victories two were in Toronto where they won both by double digits. Today’s line of Tor -6.5 appears to hold a lot of value. Matt stops by to give his take on the game and give out his suggested ATS winner.
Joel Embiid was unstoppable closing out game 4. Sure, the referees missed THE call in the final seconds then essentially admitted to both clubs and fans that the series should actually be tied. But Embiid was a beast and he can clearly take over a game anytime he wants. Every time Embiid pulls out one of those drop step moves, Sam Hinkie’s star shines a little bit brighter! Can Embiid get it going earlier to close out the Nets or will he rest his ailing knee? Matt has your NBA prediction!
The Jazz split their two regulation games versus the Rockets at Vivint Smart Home Arena and find themselves with their backs against the wall down 2-0 in the series. Will home cooking be enough to turn it around or will Houston continue on their path to a sweep? Get Matt’s free Game 3 Pick.
The Pacers have not played terribly in this series, even though they find themselves down 2-0. However, where they have struggled is the second half. Looking at game one, the Pacers scored a total of 29 points in the third and forth quarter combined. This includes an 8-point third quarter. Can they put points on the board at home to give bettors a chance to cash in on Pacers -3? Matt has the free basketball selection!
Missing Blake Griffin or getting a gimpy Griffin is obviously going to hurt this Pistons team. Griffin scored 97 total points in the four regular season games with the Bucks which topped Giannis’ output of 83. But will bookmakers value his absence correctly at Pistons +15? Matt Lowry gives his breakdown and free pick.
The Nuggets clearly were not ready for their first playoff game in seven years, and it showed as a home court advantage that took much of the regular season to obtain, was squandered away in less than a few hours. Will they be ready for tonight as 7 point favorites? Matt Lowry gives his NBA pick against the spread.
Unlike the Sixers, the Nets had bench production. Most notably, Caris LeVert dropped 23 points and shot 8 of 18 from the field. “Can he keep this up?”, is the next question we have to ask ourselves. Matt Lowry has tonight’s Nets vs. Sixers free pick!
