The Warriors are expected to outshoot the Blazers from deep. They are the best in the biz. But, GSW is hurting Portland in all other areas as well. The Warriors outscored the Blazers 46-30 in the paint and also scored 21 fast break points to the Blazers’ eight. Do the Blazers have any fight left in them to cover as 4 point underdogs?

The Raptors were destroyed on the boards in Game 2 and it was all but over at halftime with the Bucks rolling to a 64-39 halftime lead in the 125-103 victory.

As the concern was raised in our write-up of Game One, the Bucks looked every bit rusty in the opening stages. At one point, the Deer trailed by as much as 13 points but once they got firing on all cylinders, Milwaukee had little trouble notching the victory in the opening frame of the Eastern Conference Finals. Can the Raptors hang with the Bucks in game 2 without what essetnially amounted to a head start in game 1? Keith Franks has your Deer vs. Dinos pick!

Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals wasn’t quite as bad as the score suggested. Portland was competitive in the game more than they were not. Keep in mind they seemingly did EVERYTHING wrong and the score was still close at least once in nearly every quarter except the 4th. The team shot 36.1% from the field, 25% from three point range and gave up a miserable 21 turnovers. If the Blazers can avoid self inflicted pain, are they likely stay within the bookie’s spread of 8? Kevin West breaks down game 2 and gives his NBA pick!

The top two teams in the Eastern Conference meet in the final when the Bucks host the Raptors in the series opener on Wednesday night in Milwaukee.

In all four games this season the team that won the game got the point spread cover. Read on to see where our handicapper is siding with his free ATS prediction for Game 1.
