Trae Young set the tone for the Bucks vs Hawks series as he scored 48 points in Game 1 to lead his team to victory. His brilliant performance in Game 3 gave the Hawks hopes to take a 2-1 lead, but they were left unfulfilled after he rolled his ankles in the 3rd quarter, which took the game away from them. His availability for this game is reported as questionable, but the fighter that Trae is, you can expect him to make an appearance in Game 4. Don't bet this TOTAL with the assumption that Young won't play or be less than 100% |

While the Suns won Game 1 as they shot over 40% on threes, they struggled from beyond the arc in Game 2 as they made just six of 26 threes (23.1%). If their shooting gets back on track (they have shot 37.5% on threes this postseason), they should win as Paul and Booker’s midrange game and Ayton’s advantage in the post will give them too much firepower for the shorthanded Clippers without Leonard. |

The Hawks had success with a bigger lineup against the 76ers as Danilo Gallinari, John Collins, and Clint Capela played well together. Gallinari’s shotmaking, Collins’s hustle plays, and Capela’s screen-setting, rebounding, and defense were all big reasons why the Hawks are in the conference finals. Gallinari will have a tougher time against the Bucks’ defense, but more importantly, playing him will be challenging for the Hawks defensively. The Hawks would have to pick their poison with either Gallinari or Collins on Middleton or forcing Young to guard Holiday. |

The high-scoring Nuggets, who ended the regular season eighth in the NBA in points scored with an average of 115.1 points per game and are scoring an average 116.0 points per game during the postseason, must pick up there output or will be swept out of the playoffs by Phoenix. Denver’s head coach said his players played with no urgency and quit in Wednesday’s loss. Nikola Jokic, who earlier this week was named the NBA MVP, led Denver with 24 points and 13 rebounds.

"Playoff P (George)" has been inconsistent during his two seasons with Los Angeles in the playoffs. George went 4 for 17 shooting from the floor in Game 1, although he managed to finish with 20 points and 10 rebounds.

The Hawks got off to a dream start in a series-opening game that looked like it was going to be a blowout through three quarters, although things got far too close for comfort in the last minute as they nearly collapsed. Atlanta piled up 74 points in the first half and led by as many as 25 points midway through the third. Philadelphia put together a massive rally to make it a one-possession game in the final minute, but Bogdan Bogdanovic hit a massive three and drained the game-winning free throws. |

Wednesday night was the worst LA Lakers performance of the series with the Phoenix Suns and arguably one of their worst of the entire season. They shot at under 35% from the field and from downtown and turned the ball over a staggering 16 times, compared to the Suns' four. Their starting backcourt, Dennis Schroder and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, scored zero points and had only three assists between them from 41 minutes played. Caldwell-Pope left the game early with a knee contusion and is currently a doubt to play in game six. The only LA Lakers player that left with any modicum of respect from his performance was LeBron James, who finished on 24 points on 9-19 shooting from the field. I don't expect the Lakers to be this bad tonight, if AD plays that's an added bonus. |

The key to the Mavericks' success in the second game will be their three-point shooting. They outshot the LA Clippers from the 3-point range, which is extremely impressive given the Clippers led the NBA in that category this year. The usually underwhelming Dallas Mavericks defense held its own on Friday and Carlisle will be hoping it doesn't regress in the next encounter. Basically, game one featured things that don't usually happen. Expect game two to be more in line with what we're used to seeing. Poor defense and better perimeter shooting from the Clippers. |

Since returning to the starting lineup two weeks ago, Embiid has returned to his MVP-style level of play. Over the past five games, Embiid is averaging 30.2 points and 9.0 rebounds. The big man was at his best in a 123-117 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday, finishing with 39 points and 13 rebounds. |

Heat v. Suns OVER 216.5 | Top | 86-106 |
Loss | -112 | 9 h 54 m | Show |
The Phoenix Suns almost blew a 24-point lead against the Houston Rockets last night, but they held on to claim their ninth win in the last 10 games. They recorded a franchise-high 25 three-pointers against the Rockets. The Suns have a 28-7 record since the beginning of February, the best in the league during this span. |

Clippers v. Pacers OVER 232 | Top | 126-115 |
Win | 100 | 7 h 44 m | Show |
The LA Clippers have produced some impressive victories in recent games and are in the middle of a challenging run of games. Kawhi Leonard sat out their last game against the Detroit Pistons, with Paul George and Marcus Morris taking up the bulk of the offensive responsibility. |

Rockets v. Suns OVER 228.5 | Top | 120-126 |
Win | 100 | 8 h 34 m | Show |
Chris Paul has been a real difference-maker for the Suns. Even at 35 years old, CP3 has given them immediate viability as a top team. On paper, they don’t have the talent of a healthy Lakers or Clippers squad, but they definitely have the scoring and defensive chops to hang with anyone. |

Bucks v. Magic UNDER 224.5 | Top | 124-87 |
Win | 100 | 7 h 17 m | Show |
At this point, Milwaukee just needs a victory. With Giannis Antetokounmpo doubtful once more, Bud needs to hope the return of most of his starters can best an Orlando Magic team that got stripped down to nuts and bolts at the trade deadline. The Bucks opted to rest all of their starters in their home loss to the Hornets, and the backup brigade couldn’t quite get past Charlotte, losing 127-119. This should be a prime opportunity for Khris Middleton to recapture his shooting stroke following the 6-27 performance in Dallas. Brook Lopez generally finds his groove any time he’s near his home in Orlando, so I fully expect a 20-point performance out of him. |

Pistons v. Blazers UNDER 227 | Top | 103-118 |
Win | 100 | 9 h 37 m | Show |
First, three bits on Detroit's health. Jerami Grant sat out the game against the Kings with a sore right knee. The injury is apparently not serious, but Grant will miss tonight’s game against the Blazers. Next is Killian Hayes. Detroit’s rookie point guard played quite well against the Kings but midway through the fourth quarter, he seemed a bit hobbled. |

Spurs v. Nuggets UNDER 222.5 | Top | 96-106 |
Win | 100 | 9 h 10 m | Show |
The Nuggets have been on fire since the trade for Aaron Gordon but I think we'll see them sleepwalk through this one. The Nuggets allowed 119 points to San Antonio in January, I think we'll see Denver commit of the defensive end. |

Don't take too much from the Celtics last two games where they shot the ball extremely well. This is a better defensive team than the Hornets or Rockets. Expect this to be a slow, sloppy pace. |

Lakers v. Raptors UNDER 208.5 | Top | 110-101 |
Loss | -110 | 4 h 13 m | Show |
While it's an injury-ridden Los Angeles team that will be without the All-Star duo of Anthony Davis and LeBron James, among others, Tuesday night presents a different challenge for Toronto, which has struggled on the second end of back-to-backs this season. Coming into Tuesday, the Raptors are 1-8 on the second night of back-to-backs this season. As it looks to reverse its misfortune from this year, Toronto will also be shorthanded as Kyle Lowry remains out with a toe infection and Fred VanVleet's status is day-to-day due to a right hip flexor strain. In their absence, DeAndre' Bembry, Malachi Flynn and Gary Trent Jr. have handled the majority of the backcourt duties and have thrived as of late. |

Win | 100 | 10 h 14 m | Show |
Terrence Ross has missed the last seven games for the Orlando Magic with a knee injury but is expected to suit up against the LA Clippers. Ross is the most experienced player on the current Magic roster and will slot right back into the starting lineup. He's also averaging a career-high 16 points per game this season. He'll take on an even higher scoring load for this young team now. They'll be a lot of guys on both sides looking to make an offensive impact. |

Win | 100 | 7 h 20 m | Show |
The rebuilding Orlando Magic nearly caught the LA Lakers napping on Sunday but eventually came away with a 93-96 loss. Not much is expected from Steve Clifford's unit following their fire sale, but the youngsters in the squad will be looking to leave their mark. Forward Chuma Okeke has stepped up his game following the trade deadline. He had 14 points against the Lakers in a contest where buckets were hard to come by. Dwayne Bacon also continued his redemption season with 26 points. |

Mavs v. Pelicans UNDER 229.5 | Top | 103-112 |
Win | 100 | 8 h 52 m | Show |
While the Pelicans struggle to guard away from the basket, they excel at doing the dirty work near the basket. The team scores 53.6 points in the paint, they lead the league with 15.5 second-chance points and lead the league grabbing 53.3 percent of their available rebounds. While it’s not surprising Steven Adams leads the Pelicans in rebounding per game, it’s intriguing that Williamson is third on the team (7.0) behind Josh Hart (7.6). As of this writing, it’s unclear if Porzingis will play on the second night of a back-to-back, but if he’s out it will require a total team effort to keep the Pelicans from dominating the paint. |

Pistons v. Wizards UNDER 224 | Top | 92-106 |
Win | 100 | 7 h 21 m | Show |
Detroit now has four promising, defensively-minded guards. Diallo, Smith, Killian Hayes, and Saben Lee have shown signs this year they can join the lineage of quality Pistons defenders at the guard spots. Killian remains out (but is close to returning), Saben needs more seasoning before being trusted with the starting gig, but if Dennis is available this evening, not testing him alongside Hamidou against offensive guards Bradley Beal (let’s assume he’ll play) and Russell Westbrook would be a downer. |

Pacers v. Mavs UNDER 226 | Top | 109-94 |
Win | 100 | 4 h 48 m | Show |
The Dallas Mavericks (23-19) return to action against the Indiana Pacers (20-23) after an eventful trade deadline saw the Mavericks net JJ Redick and Nicolo Melli in exchange for James Johnson, Wesley Iwundu, and a second-round pick. The Mavericks took the first matchup between these two teams as Kristaps Porzingis led the way with 27 points and 13 rebounds in a 124-112 victory. However, both clubs were without key contributors. The Mavericks were in the midst of the COVID fiasco, and the Pacers were missing elite shot-blocker Myles Turner and Jeremy Lamb. The two teams are playing different basketball in the past 15 games. The Mavericks are 10-5 sporting a top-four offensive rating and a top-8 defensive rating while the Pacers are 6-9 and in the bottom half of both metrics. Expect teams across the league to take some time to settle in offensively. |

The Denver Nuggets made a couple of key trades for their future yesterday, adding JaVale McGee in one move and both Aaron Gordon and Gary Clark in another. Tonight is about the players they already had, however, as the Nuggets suit up without Gary Harris, RJ Hampton, and Isaiah Hartenstein as they face the New Orleans Pelicans. |

Loss | -107 | 4 h 37 m | Show |
Now that the dust has settled following the trade deadline, the grind that is this Pistons season continues. Detroit made a move around the edges when they moved Delon Wright to the Sacramento Kings for Cory Joseph and a couple of second-round picks while Brooklyn stood pat despite a flurry of earlier Spencer Dinwiddie rumors. It will take some time for most teams to settle in after the deadline, even if they didn't make any moves. |

Tyrese Haliburton and his teammates might be a little distracted less than 24 hours after news broke during Wednesday's game that one of the most liked Kings, veteran guard Cory Joseph, had been traded to the Detroit Pistons for Delon Wright. Sacramento also sent Detroit two second-round picks. |

The Knicks will get a chance to go back over the .500 mark for the fourth time since Feb. 27 after rolling to a 131-113 win over Washington on Tuesday night. The win occurred two nights after Randle was upset about a foul call in the waning seconds of overtime that led to Philadelphia’s Tobias Harris hitting the game-winning free throws to hand New York a 101-100 loss. Expect this one to go under the total with the Knicks potential dissaray after the dealine passes. |

Brooklyn Nets (30-14, +205) are on for a second of back-to-back nights, following a clash against the Trail Blazers in Portland. It was a very tough event, but Steve Nash’s boys have been more than solid, posting 116-112 victory. Even with an extremely poor three-point shooting percentage, 9-for-30, the Nets managed to get on top of the nasty Blazers, who made 19 threes. The biggest difference in this one was the points from the paint where Brooklyn outscored the hosts 64-28. Happy to take the UNDER here. |

Toronto (17-26) has rarely enjoyed a completely healthy squad this season, as COVID and injuries have decimated the team’s ability to build cohesion and continuity. With the team plummeting down the standings, rumors continue to swirl about Kyle Lowry’s future with the Raptors ahead of Thursday’s trade deadline. Injuries equal offense. |

The Orlando Magic are approaching a critical juncture in their season. Ahead lies a three-game homestand against three challenging opponents. Beyond that is a grueling five-game West Coast trip. Along the way, the team must overcome their injuries, redevelop chemistry among those that have returned from extended absences, and remain focused on the task at hand despite distractions that can be created by Thursday’s looming NBA trade deadline if they want to gain ground on a five-and-a-half-game separation between them and a play-in spot for the 2021 NBA playoffs. |

The Hawks have been more consistent on the defensive end of the floor since Nate McMillan took over as the team's head coach. The Hawks are 8-0 with McMillan leading them. At 3-2 since the All-Star break, the Clippers are coming off a 125-98 blowout win over the Charlotte Hornets at home on Saturday. Los Angeles likely will be playing without starters Patrick Beverley and Serge Ibaka. Beverley has missed the last four games with right knee soreness, while Ibaka has missed the last three games due to lower back tightness. |
