Game #6 – First Round Playoffs, NY leads series 3-2
Matchup Breakdown:
The Knicks will look to close the series out on the road after a narrow 106–103 loss in Game 5. Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart are both expected to play through minor injuries. Detroit is getting a massive lift from Cade Cunningham, who’s averaging 25.4 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 8.8 assists in this series. The Pistons' defense has focused heavily on containing New York’s interior threats, which has been effective, but their own inconsistent offense remains a liability.
The Pistons will need a big game out of their shooters, specifically Malik Beasley and/or Tim Hardaway Jr. I feel like the Knicks experience will allow them to take this game but it’s going to be a dogfight.
Key Trends:
Knicks are 2-0 against the spread in Detroit this series.
The total has gone under in 3 of the 5 games in this series.

Game #6 – First Round Playoffs, DEN leads series 3-2
Matchup Breakdown:
Denver dominated Game 5 with a 131–115 win as Jamal Murray exploded for 43 points and Nikola Jokic tallied a 13-10-12 triple-double. The Nuggets are 1 win away from moving on, while the Clippers face an elimination game on their home floor. Kawhi Leonard and James Harden must deliver elite performances if LA hopes to force a Game 7. Ivica Zubac has been a key x-factor, contributing efficiently on both ends.
The real question: Where is James Harden? The guy has just completely vanished in this series in terms of playing at an elite level. The Clippers offense has been pretty stagnant and there was not much they could do about Jamal Murray going off last game.
Key Trends:
Nuggets are 5-4 ATS in their last 9 matchups vs. the Clippers.
Clippers have won 37 of 48 games this season when favored.
The total has gone over in the majority of Nuggets games this season.
