The Bucks have enough pride here to show up.  They don't wanna get swept plain and simple.  This series is over but Milwaukee I think gives a big effort.  I also think Giannis doesn't want a sweep on his resume.  Bucks have shot poorly the last two games just. above 40%.  Miami has also lite it up from the outside and I dont think that happens. 

I'm going back to the Raptors here again.  Yes, I know Boston has covered every game and with that the betting public will clearly be all over them.  I just think that last shot to win the game is huge.  The series was literally over but now its a whole new ball game.  I think that momentum carries the Raptors here. 

I know the Rockets are coming off a tough series and that was part of the reason I went against Denver last night and they failed to show.  I do think the Rockets are a little different here as Westbrook and Harden are going to be very tough matchups for the Lakers.  Lakers were pretty lucky IMO vs Portland with Dame getting hurt. Lakers outside shooting is very suspect

How much is left in the tank right now for Denver.  They spent a ton of energy winning 3 straight games and closing out Utah in game 7.  I could totally see them being flat here tonight vs a well rested Clippers squad.  Clippers match up extremely well with Murray and Jokic as well

I absolutely love the Raptors here tonight in this spot.  They will be hungry for the win as they simply know a loss here tonight and the series is over.  Toronto gave away the last game and it didn’t help that Smart went nuts for a while to seal the deal.  Celtics will win this series but given the spot I love the Raptors here

I’m taking the Rockets here tonight.  I think Harden and Westbroo both respond with a big game together here.  The Thunder shot the ball extremely well and that isn’t exactly their cup of tea.  When it comes crunch I have to side with the superstar 

I backed the Heat in game 1 and will go right back to them here again tonight.  I think they are going to win this series.  The Bucks haven’t honest looked good since the bubble started.  The Heat present matchu problems across the board for them.

What a fun series this has been.  Denver won the first game then Utah rattled off 3 straight and Denver jumped back with two to force game 7 here tonight.  Can Denver shoot over 50% from the field for a 3rd straight game?  I dont think so and I'm sure most agree with me.  Utah still didn't get blown out in the games with Denver shooing crazy hot which really says something here.  A lot of hyper with Murray right now, I trust Mitchell more.  Jazz tonight

I think everyone is going to be on the Celtics again here tonight based off of game 1.  The game was literally over in the 2nd quarter as the Raptors couldn't hit anything.  Raptors just shot the ball horrible as a whole and even from 3.  Celtics really shot it well from deep and I expect those numbers to come back down.  Toronto knows the importance of this game tonight big bounce back win

I really love the Heat matchup here against the Bucks.  I think this series is going to be extremely tough and believe this is going 6. or 7.  I was extremely impressed with what Miami did the the Pacers and really not impressed with the the Bucks looked.  I trust Jimmy Butler more than Giannis.  

Denver took game 1 then Utah rattled off 3 straight and then Denver took game 5.  I have been really impressed with the Jazz here in this series.  Most of the talking heads loved the Nuggets with Murray and Jokic and you have to be disappointed if you're a Denver fan.  Utah let a 4th quarter slip away last time.  I think they end the series tonight 

I'm going to give the Raptors game 1 here even though I think the Celtics will win this series.  I also believe the betting public will be all over Boston here catching points.  Raptors and Coach Nurse have been nothing short of impressive even after losing Kawhi.  I think Toronto takes game 1

Let's roll the the Blazers here.  I'm just not completely sold on the Lakers and their big question mark regarding the outside shooting.  Blazers know the importance here tonight in a big way simply avoiding going down 3-1.  The effort will most definetly be there tonight and wouldn't be surprised if they won this one tonight 

Alright Portland was blown out as they shot horrible from the field.  Everyone will know think that they will roll the series.  I don’t view that as the case here.  I very much think Portland will be in this game and yes it’s a critical game for the series.  Lillard will be fine and this is too many points

I don’t think much adjustment has been done here for this game.  The Rockets have flat out owned this series and se no reason they don’t take care of business here today.  This Rockets team is no joke and I think they are a serious contender when Westbrook comes back

This is obviously do or die time tonight for the Sixers.  Game 2 the Celtics were hot and the Sixers were cold just plain and simple.  They still have enough pride here and I expect a big time effort tonight from Philly. We know the betting public will be all over Boston with them winning and covering both games.  

Coming later

Coming later

I had the Mavs in game 1 and they should have covered and honestly they looked like the better team here.  Porzingis got ejected in the 3rd and they still hung tough.  I think that speaks volumes to this team.  Also I heard was how good the Clippers defense can be.  Luka drops 40 on them without his 2nd best player.  Mavs are a another live dog tonight

I was on the. Sixers in game 1 and they should have covered and even had chances to sneak one out.  The big thing now is that Hayward is out for Boston and to me that is huge.  It puts a ton more on Tatum and Brown's shoulders.  The Sixers know the importance here of game 2 I wouldn't be shocked if they won this outright

I will take the Rockets here on the ML.  The Thunder have been a nice story and give them credit for making it here as no one predicted this.  They have Chris Paul to rely on be he is on limited time.  I know the Rockets are without Westbrook and they still have Harden and IMO he will take over and dominate the game tonight.  

Let’s bounce back here with the Magic first out today.  Is Orlando going to win a game this series?  Probably not but getting 12.5 is a ton of points.  The Magic have some retesting young pieces here even without Isaac.  Here is also another case where everyone loves the Bucks and will have no problem laying the points.  With 4 favorites yesterday you need to be careful. I like the Magic

We all know everyone loves the Clippers rightfully so.  If you are watching hockey playoffs we have seen some weird things happen in series and I think the NBA will be the same way.  There is no advantage plain and simple so I think you have to be careful laying points in the playoffs.  This Mavs team is a scary one as they have a ton of firepower lead by Luka.  I keep hearing Clippers will easily make the Finals, I think this series is going to be a tough one for them.

I love this Celtics team and actually think they pose the biggest threat to the Bucks in Eastern Conference but this is a lot of points here for them to be laying.  Yes, I know Simmons is out for Philly but he's overrated in my eyes and I like the way the ball moves better for the Sixers.  They have a huge advantage down as well.  I think this line and the general public are overreacting here to Simmons being out.  I see this series being extremely close the whole way

The Nets have been quite the surprise honestly as literally no one expected them to win more than 2 if not 1 game during the bubble.  Well they are 5-2 since the restart with literally no one playing.  Getting double digits you have to ride them here.  I have back Portland here recently in several wins but now is the time to back off as I think they know they can win this game not going all out 

Had a winner the other night with Portland over the Sixers.  Let's ride them again tonight as they are showing me a lot trying to get the final spot.  They are 4-2 in the bubble with the two losses both being very close to Boston and Clippers both very good teams.  Mavs are locked into a spot now with their most recent win.  Give me the desperate Trailblazers. 

I’m actually quite surprised this line is this high.  The Lakers are 2-4 since the restart and why wouldn’t they be.  They have the 1 seed locked up.  Denver on the other hand is playing for the 2nd seed which they would love to have to avoid the Lakers in the second round.  Nuggets effort will be here tonight

Blazers let one slip away last night against the Clippers.  I think they bounce back here with a big effort and that’s because they are fighting for the playoffs.  They simply can’t afford to lose this game tonight.  Sixers I don’t see them have much interest here

Let's take the Heat here on the. Moneyline.  The Suns are now the. darling team of the bubble and making them a short price here is begging for their money which they will get.  Butler is out for Miami but this team still has a lot to play for seeding wise

I think the wrong team is favored here in this game.  Both of these teams are undefeated and have covered every game.  I just think the Suns are riding high here coming of wins against Dallas and Clippers.  No one is giving them a shot but they legit have a chance for the final spot.  I like the way the Suns are trending here and will take the points with them

I had the Rockets in a winner last game as they were a dog and beat the Bucks straight up.  I just wonder how much that took out of them.  This game also means so much more to the Blazers as they are fighting for the playoffs here.  We get a max effort here and I think an outright win

I'm going to take the Hear here in this game.  I know they played yesterday in a battle and lost.  They have such a hard schedule here during this re start that I am looking to back them early as opposed to later on.  Boston is in the 3 spot and the Heat are in the 4 and Miami if nay hopes of passing them needs this win and I think that's the motivation edge here tonight

Bucks simply have zero motivation here as they have the 1 seed locked up.  Rockets are still playing for something and I think playing with a chip a no one considers them a contender in the West.  They are dangerous and I like them here in this spot

Portland answered the call in their first game and I always love a desperate team especially when a dog.  They are hungry to make the playoffs and Celtics coming off a tough loss to the Bucks

The Bucks are this heavily priced on a neutral court?  This is a big time overreaction here.  I also question how much interest the Bucks have here since they have the 1 seed wrapped up.  Celtics on the other hand can grab the 2 seed or even drop to 4.  So this means a lot to them.  Bucks missing a couple players with Covid.  I like Boston quite a bit here tonight

I'm actually surprised this isn't higher.  Portland if they want any shot at the playoffs they have to win this game and they know that.  I think given the fact we get a big time effort here from there.  They are also healthy for the first time in forever as well.

Missed a better number here but still like the Nuggets.  This is a tough road trip here for the Bucks to begin with and now throw in the fact that they are without Giannis.  This is about a tough of spot as you can find for a team.  

I know this isn't ideal to take the Jazz here with their first game back on the road.  I just think this is a tougher game to ask the Raptors as they finish up this 5 game road trip.  They have won 3 straight but only covered 1 of those games.  The Raptors also embarrassed the Jazz in Toronto.

Let's take the Thunder here in this matchup.  The Thunder have been one of the biggest shocks of the season if not the biggest as this team wasn't pegged as a playoff team.  I think they can give the Clippers all they can handle.  They are 5-1 SU their last 6 games.  Clippers are just an average team on the road with a 16-13 record 

I like the Heat here tonight as this game woll certainly attract their attention.  They are catching the Bucks in a good spot here on a back to back.  Bucks also had to play harder than expected last night vs the Hornets.  I like the Heat to win SU so put Some on the ML also

This seems like a pretty cheap price here.  I think everyone will remember the Grizzlies last game blowing out the Lakers and take them here.  The Hawks are quietly playing well winning 4 of their last 6 games.  

I faded the Lakers last night and they were destroyed at Memphis.  Now on a back to back and will fade them again here tonight.  I also think the Pelicans will want the quick revenge after they let one slip away @ LA last week. 

Raptors have dropped 2 straight and yes I know odds aren’t with them to lose 3 but I really like this Denver team.  First, it’s a hard spot to play out for a team out of conference.  Also the Nuggets are coming off an ugly loss to the Clippers which I believe they bounce back from

Alright we have a Grizzlies team here that should be very focused.  They have lost 5 straight now but still hold the 8th spot for now in the playoff race.  They lost all 4 road games their first game back home was a major let down spot.  I think we get a max effort here obviously with the Lakers coming to town.  Lakers only won by 1 in the first meeting @ Memphis

The Thunder have been one of the biggest surprises of the season as no one had them pegged fighting for the playoffs.  I like them here tonight to continue playing well.  Denver is a team they are chasing so they will want this one. 

The T Wolves you could make the case for that they are one of the most disappointing teams in the league.  I definitely think with the trade for Russell though we see them re engerized here.  Boston is clearly a public team.  While I think they win, I also think the T Wolves will fight in this game

Interesting game here tonight.  No one will want much to do with the Magic here but they had a couple wins before All Star Break.  Yes, I know the Mavs have been lights out on the road but that simply won’t continue in the 2nd half.  Magic are better than .500 @ home.  I think they are live for an upset

Maybe I'm a sucker here but I love this spot here.  Portland and Lillard have been getting a ton of attention here.  Portland came up short last night and I think this is tough for them here tonight as well.  Memphis is one of the hottest teams in the league right now winning 7 of their last 9 games. 

I will take a chance with the Knicks here tonight.  They are 4-0-1 ATS their last 5 games and are playing well.  I think the Knicks are clearly playing with more confidence here and I love the spot with them catching the Wizards on a back to back 

Really surprised by this line here.  The Bucks are missing several key parts here including Giannis.  Yes, the Pacers have dropped 6 straight but with the Bucks coming to town that will get their attention.  Pacers snap out of it here and get the job done 

Celtics are red hot right now but given the situation we are going to go against them here.  The Rockets have dropped back to back games here and will have this one circled tonight.  This Rockets team just won in LA by 10 so the fire power is there.  This line will climb so grab it now 

I think there betting public still doesn't trust the Sixers here in this game.  Philly has had a rough slate there is no denying that, but here in this spot I really like them tonight.  The Clippers are missing Beverly which is a huge loss for them.  This is the type of game the Sixers do show up and prove 

 think we see a big move on this game here.  Indiana should be and will go off as the favorite here. Pacers are playing the classic home and home situation here.  I love Indiana to be focused here after blowing a big lead @ the Raptors last time and lost by 1.  Oladipo will take over tonight and Pacers get the W

The Sixers are struggling right now but I think they get back on board here tonight.  They won't take the Grizz lightly as they are playing good ball.  This is clearly a big discount on the Sixers right now during this span.  I like the chance to buy low here.

The Suns are definitely worth a look here in this game.  They are playing their best basketball right now winning 4 of their last 5 games. The Spurs nipped the Suns earlier this season in Phoenix by 2 points, but the Suns were pathetic from long range in that game.  I will take the confident team here playing well in the Suns to get the job done 

The Pacers are hot right now no doubt about it.  I just don't like this spot at all for them here tonight.  They are playing their 2nd of a back to back in which they got the big win last night and now playing in elevation again is extremely difficult.  The Jazz are one of the hottest teams in the league right now winning 12 of their last 13 games. 

Boston is clearly not playing their best ball by any means, but now that is adding great value here with the Celtics.  Boston is one of the few teams that actually matches up very well with all the athletic wings that the Lakers have.  The Celtics are in a good bounce back spot here and I think they get the win outright

I like the Nets here today in this game.  Embiid is out for the Sixers now and this is also a quick revenge game which I love playing on the team that just lost.  While the Nets aren't anything special, Kyrie is back and they do know the importance here of this game.  I think the Nets respond with a major effort.

The  Pelicans are playing their best basketball right now.  They have won 4 straight and 5 of their last  6 games.  The Lakers have won 3 straight but I don’t seem being that interested here in this game.  They actually played the Lakers tough in the first meeting blowing a 4th quarter lead losing by 4.  The effort will be there for thenPelicans 

Let’s take the Magic here in this game. The Magic are 3-2 SU their last 5.  They also play way better at home as they are several games above .500.  The Heat despite having a very good season so far have had their issues on the road as they are a 500 team.  I like the Magic here to get the so called upset

Gonna take the Thunder here as they are playing some of their best basketball right now.  They have won 6 of their last 7 games and we all know the betting public will be all over the Mavs here. 

The Rockets should be hungry here for a nice bounce back win.  They lost to the Pelicans last time and this is also a revenge spot here as they played an ugly game at Denver.  I do believe Harden is a go which is why this number has gone up.  Denver is playing well but now extremely favorable home schedule has come to an end. 

Considering the Bucks were 8.5 point favorites last time @ Chicago with a healthy Giannis and now have a high chance they could be without him tonight.  I will take my chances with the Bulls here in this division rivalry.  

Let's take the Magic here in this spot.  I had the Sixers on Christmas Day as they were fired up to face the Bucks.  They also made a ton of threes which I highly doubt they can repeat. The Magic are now a healthy squad and I like them here in this spot.

The Pelicans have under performed big time there is no doubt it.  I just think here this is too many points.  They have won 2 of their last 3 road games and will be motivated here to play well.  Besides Zion, the Pelicans are now at full strength and can give the Nuggets a run here tonight

Lakers will be extremely motivated here already dropping an ugly game to the Clippers.  In fact that was the first game of the season where the Clippers ran them off the court.  The Lakers just a few days ago had the best record in the league with a 24-3 record.  Well, they have lost 3 straight now and have failed to cover 5 straight.  I think now is the time to back the Lakers

Well the Bucks are the best road team in the league with a 12-2 record.  It's hard to go against the Bucks, but if there was a team that can match up well against them, it is the Sixers.  Philly has been tremendous at home with a 15-2 record.  I think this game comes down to the wire so I will take the points with the dog

I will lay it here with the Celtics.  I know the Raptors have been a great team at home, but Boston is getting Hayward back in the lineup here.  Raptors are without Siakam and Gasol which gives the Celtics a huge edge down low.  Also, in the first meeting the Raptors knocked down 18 3's but still couldn't get the win.  I doubt they make that many today which they will need to to keep it close.

The Hornets are playing better and have been cashing tickets here as of late.  I just think given this spot they are due for a let down.  First, their energy definitely won't be as high since they are playing the Cavs.  The Hornets are also on a back to back here.  I think the Cavs know this is one they can win and will give forth a good effort here

I think the Wizards can carry on a little momentum here.  They just won their last game on the road @ Detroit.  The Bulls have been covering game as of late and that is why they are getting some respect.  I just want no part of them on the road as they are just 4-9 SU.

Let's take the Pacers here tonight.  Lakers are still winning games but they have survived some really close ones here on this road trip.  I think the Pacers can actually beat them tonight.  Kuzma may not play and Davis is banged up.  I think the Pacers are live

This one is ugly no doubt about it.  T Wolves are struggling as old late, but I simply love this spot here.  Clippers are coming of an emotional game with Kawaih returning back to the Raptors so that was a game they did give it their all.  Now, the Clippers are in an interesting spot here because they have the back to back looming tomorrow night.  This is also the 5th road game straight for LA.  I like the Wolves in this spot.

So the books are saying there is only a 2 point difference between Miami and Orlando?  Given the fact that Lakers were only favored by the margin more @ Orlando is what they are saying.  I'm not buying that at all.  This is a clear overreaction to the Lakers being on fire right now.  Lakers were only favored earlier by 8.5 in LA.  Give me the Heat here

This is too many to pass up on here.  The Magic are more than a respectable team especially at home with an 8-5 record.  They are coming off a tough loss vs the Lakers but played very well in that game.  Rockets aren't playing the greatest right now covering just once in their last 5.  Magic will bring the effort tonight.

The Pistons here are a live dog.  The Mavs are an easy public team especially with what Luka is doing this season.  I just like the way the Pistons have been playing.  They have won 4 of their last 5 games with the only loss being to the red hot Bucks.  This is just too many here for the Mavs to be laying.

I was against the Celtics last night and they had a chance late despite being a tough spot for them.  I fully expect them to bounce back here at home where they are a perfect 10-0 this season.  The Sixers already had their way with Boston earlier this season.  Sixers don't deserve to be favored here in this spot

Can a team that is 4-7 now on the road that was won back to back road games win 3 in a row?  I'm not buying the thunder here in this spot.  The Kings are playing very well themselves right now covering 3 straight and winning back to back games vs the Rockets and Mavs

The crowd will for sure play into this game with Kawahi returning for the first time.  I don't think the Raptors should be underdogs here since they are 9-2 at home.  The Clippers have definitely struggled on the road this season with a 5-6 record and just 4-7 ATS.  

Let's go with Indiana here in this matchup.  The Pacers had an ugly loss vs the Clippers on Monday night ,but I think they bounce back here as they still are 9-3 at home this season.  The Celtics are getting a lot of love bu the teams they have beat recently only two of them are any good and both were at home.  

I will take my chances here in this game.  The Grizzlies got blown out a couple weeks back to the Warriors so you know they have revenge on their mind here.  The line in that game was 6.5 which is suggesting that if played @ Golden St which it is the line should be a PK.  We are getting value here with Memphis and Morant is back for this game

The Magic are playing their best basketball right now this season winning 4 straight and 5 of their last 6.  I realize it isn't against better teams, but the confidence factor is huge for them.  Bucks are clearly the best team in the Eastern Conference and with them covering 4 straight their lines are big time inflated.  

Let's take the Pacers here in this game.  They continue to be one of the surprise teams considering they are missing their best player in Oladipo.  The Clippers here are on their back to back situation and they are doing this load management which I actually think is hurting the team.  Pacers win this one

I will take Portland here in this game tonight.  Portland had a very slow start to the season but have turned it around now.  They have won 4 of their last 5 games and will be motivated here with L.A. coming to town. Third straight Laker road game, I just don't think they can keep on shooting there percentages on the road that they are.  Let's take Portland here

I will take the Hornets here based on line value alone.  These teams already have met earlier and the Nets won and covered but were only favored by 4.5 @ Brooklyn.  So basically based on that game the Hornets should be a PK or favored here in this spot creating some nice value catching 3.  Hornets are playing better going 3-2 SU their last 5 games.

The Blazers are on a back to back situation here but I will take them coming off an ugly loss last night to the Clippers.  They should be eager for a bounce back here after the Kings have already handed them a loss earlier this season.  Portland has struggled this season but have played better overall recently

I love the Jazz here tonight.  I was against the Lakers last night in a loser and will go against them again here tonight as they are on a back to back.  The betting public will obviously be all over the Lakers here again as a dog.  The Jazz coming off a bad road trip, but should be extra motivated here and they are great at home with a 8-1 record.  I think the Jazz win easily tonight

The Heat burned a lot of of energy last night in winning at the Raptors by 1.  This is a great spot to go against them here and hence why the line is a little high.  Well, the Celtics have the rest edge here with a couple days off.  

I'm not so sure the Hawks shouldn't be favored here in this game, but will take the points with them anyways.  They are playing better covering 3 of their last 4 games here.  The Nets will for sure be a public backed team in this spot, but I don't see the motivation angle here for the Nets.  They are still banged up

I like the Nuggets here tonight.  They are 8-2 at home and are playing well right now. The Lakers had their winning streak snapped and those are hard to recovery from.  This Nuggets team is loaded and they match up well with the Lakers.  I like them here in this spot to win the game 

I will take my chances here with the Jazz.  We know the betting public will be all over the Sixers here.  Utah played yesterday and were blown out by the Raptors and given that I think we get a much better performance from them.  Utah matches up well the Jazz here.
