Take Loyola Chicago.

This is my MVC GOM.

Game 538.

4:00 pm pst.

Last year, when UNI was a good team, they couldn't beat Loyola in two tries. This season, the Panthers (5-8) are sorely missing 3 DD scorers, including Guard, Wes Waspun, who ran the offense. the Ramblers are a very accurate and disciplined shooting team. UNI is 0-5 ATS their L5 overall. Take Loyola Chicago. Thank you.

Take the Clippers.

Game 509.

7:35 pm pst.

The Clippers have dominated the Lakers, taking 10 straight in the cross-town series, by an average of 19.0 PPG. The Lakers are 1-4 ATS their L5 games played at home, 1-8 ATS their L9 games played on 1 days rest, and 3-10 ATS their L13 games played overall. Take The Clippers. Thank you.

Take Nevada.

This is my GOW.

Game 756.

2:30 pm pst.

Nevada shares the top spot in the MWC with an overall record of 9-2. The Wolfpack are just too good for a Tigers team that doesn't play the same level of competition. Towson is 4-9 ATS their L13 non-Conference games and 0-6 ATS their L6 neutral site games. Take Nevada. Thank you.

Take George Mason.

This is my MISMATCH GOM.

Game 529.

11:00.

Penn has improved from LY's squad but that is going to show against Ivy League opponents, not against the ATL 10's top team. GMU has won 6 in a row SU over such notables as Kent, Bradley, JMU, UNI, Mercer, and PSU. The backcourt of Moore and Livingston II (32.6 PPG and 12.9 RPG combined) will take this game over. A lesser Patriots squad crushed the Quakers LY, by 19. GMU is 5-2 ATS their L7 vs. Ivy league foes and 5-1 ATS their L6 non-Conference games. Penn is 2-5 ATS their L7 vs. ATL 10 foes and 1-4 ATS their L5 games played at home. Take the Patriots. Thank you.

Take Kentucky.

This is my Slam Dunk.

Game 518.

4:00 pm pst.

Kentucky and their team of blue-chip freshman are 6-0 SU, 5-1 ATS, with their starting backcourt of Fox and Monk outscoring each of their first six opponents by at least 21 PPG. But it is the Wildcats' superior defense that will be the difference here. Arizona has covered just 1 game this season and is 6-22 ATS their L28 neutral site games. Take Kentucky. Thank you.

Take Cleveland.

This is my ECF GOY.

Game 709.

5:15 pm pst.

The extra rest coming into this series has allowed Cleveland to stay fresh, keeping their 3-point display going, as well as their domination of the boards. With a short number, we must side with a Cav’s squad that has covered 7 of 10 this post-season. Take Cleveland. Thank you.

Take Portland.

This is my Slam Dunk Winner.

Game 539.

7:30 pm pst.

Yes, Steph Curry is back. But, the backcourt of Lillard and McCollum (46.1 PPG, 7.2 RPG, and 9.3 APG combined in the post-season) has made this series very competitive. Curry was supposed to play approximately 25 minutes in Game 4 but had to step it up to over 36 minutes due to Shaun Livingston's ejection and will come in tired here. Down, 3-1, Portland will not go gently. Take the 12.5 points and the Blazers. Thank you.

Take Cleveland.

This is my Ten Dimes play.

Game 525.

12:35 pm pst.

Cleveland will put away Atlanta here and look to take a few extra days off to rest and prepare for the next round. The Cavaliers have put a 3-point display on this series. Despite Hawks Center, Al Horford putting forth his first decent post-season effort, Cleveland took the battle of the boards, 55-28 in Game 3. They are too strong on the inside and are shooting lights out from behind the arc. The Cavs are 7-0 ATS the L7 vs. the Hawks while the Hawks are 5-17-1 ATS their L23 Conference Semi Final games. Take Cleveland. Thank you.

Take Cleveland.

This is my Ten Dimes play.

Game 514.

5:05 pm pst.

Cleveland was up over 18 points in the series-opener, then saw themselves down points, before finishing the 4th with authority. In Game 1, the Cavs drained 15, 3-pointers and held Hawks Center, Al Horford to just 4-of-13 shooting. Cleveland won't allow Atlanta to get any momentum here. The Cavaliers are 5-0 ATS the L5 vs. the Hawks, 4-0 ATS their L4 vs. the NBA Southeast, and 6-2 ATS their L8 on 1 days rest. The Hawks are 1-7 ATS their L8 on the road, 0-4 ATS their L4 vs. the NBA Central, and 5-15-1 ATS their L21 Conference Semi Final games. Take Cleveland. Thank you.

Take Cleveland.

This is my NBA Game of the Year.

Game 504.

4:05 pm pst.

Cleveland shredded Atlanta, 4-0 in LY's eastern Conference Finals and have won and covered all 3 meetings this season. The Cavs had a physical series with the Pistons in Rd 1 but have had 7 full days to rest and prepare for the Hawks. LeBron James and Kyrie Irving are in top-form while Atlanta Center, Al Horford averaged just 8.5 PPG in the final 4 games in the Boston series. James and Kevin Love will aid Tristan Thompson and keep Horford contained. The big difference here is rebounding. Cleveland ranks 4th on offense and 5th defensively on the boards while Atlanta is 24th and 28th. The Cavs will look to set the tone in game 1. The Hawks are 2-6 ATS their L8 games played at the Cavs, 2-8 ATS their L10 games played on 3 or more days rest, and 1-6 ATS their L7 games played on the road. Take Cleveland. Thank you.

Take Golden State.

This is my IC play.

Game 555.

12:35 pm pst.

Steph Curry is 100% and is playing today. Game 3, Golden State was out-of-sync from the tip-off without their all-universe leader. The Warriors, who have taken 8 of the previous 9 over the Rockets, and need to put Game 4 away with authority as not to let Houston back into this series. GS is 5-2 ATS the L7 over vs. Houston. Take the Warriors. Thank you.
