Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Miami Heat
π Time: 10:00 AM PT
π Location: Kaseya Center (Miami)
Spread: Cavaliers -6.0 (-105) | Heat +6.0 (-115)
Moneyline: Cavaliers -225 | Heat +185
Total: 213.5 (O -110, U -110)
Game #3 β First Round Playoffs, CLE leads 2-0
Matchup Breakdown: The Cavaliers aim to extend their series lead to 3-0 against the Heat. Donovan Mitchell has been stellar, averaging over 30 points in the first two games. Darius Garland is questionable with a sprained toe, which could impact Cleveland's backcourt dynamics. Miami will look to capitalize on their home-court advantage and bounce back from two consecutive losses.
I am not expecting a Cavs blowout but I think they can take care of the Heat. The Heat will need to slow this game to a halt if they want a shot.
Key Trends:
Cavaliers have won 7 of their last 10 games.
Heat are 5-5 in their last 10 games.
The total has gone over in 6 of the Cavaliers' last 8 games.

Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Memphis Grizzlies
π Time: 12:30 PM PT
π Location: FedExForum (Memphis)
Spread: Thunder -15.0 (-115) | Grizzlies +15.0 (-105)
Moneyline: Thunder -1200 | Grizzlies +700

Game #4 β First Round Playoffs, OKC leads 3-0
Matchup Breakdown: The Thunder are on the verge of sweeping the Grizzlies in the first round. With Ja Morant ruled out due to a hip injury, Memphis faces a significant challenge. Oklahoma City's offense has been potent, and they will look to maintain their dominance to close out the series after a huge comeback last game.
I think the Grizzlies are done for and OKC lays the hammer down today.
Key Trends:
Thunder have won 9 of their last 10 games.
Grizzlies are 3-7 in their last 10 games.
The total has gone over in 5 of the Thunder's last 7 games.

Game #4 β First Round Playoffs, LAC leads 2-1
Matchup Breakdown: The Clippers have taken a 2-1 series lead after a strong performance in Game 3. Kawhi Leonard continues to lead the team with his scoring and defense. The Nuggets will rely on Nikola Jokic to even the series, but they need more contributions from their supporting cast to overcome the Clippers' momentum.
Key Trends:
Clippers have won 6 of their last 8 games.
Nuggets are 4-6 in their last 10 games.
The total has gone under in 4 of the last 5 meetings between these teams.

π Location: Chase Center (San Francisco)
Spread: Rockets +3.5 (-115) | Warriors -3.5 (-105)
Moneyline: Rockets +140 | Warriors -165
Total: 205.5 (O -110, U -110)
Game #3 β First Round Playoffs, Series tied 1-1
Matchup Breakdown: The series shifts to San Francisco with both teams seeking an edge. The Warriors, led by Stephen Curry, aim to improve their offensive efficiency after averaging just 94.5 points over the first two games. The Rockets rely on Jalen Green and Alperen ΕengΓΌn to capitalize on their momentum from Game 2. Houston's defense has been formidable, but they need to enhance their offensive rhythm to regain the series lead.
I think itβs countering what people think will happen, but Iβm leaning towards the GSW side without Butler in this one. I think a lot of people will be on the Rockets and Warriors will surprise at home.
Key Trends:
The Warriors have won 11 of their last 12 Game 3s when the series is tied 1-1.
The Rockets have a 25-16 road record this season.
Stephen Curry is averaging 25.5 points, 6 assists, and 4 rebounds in the series.
π Premium Picks:
Spread Bet: Warriors -3.5
Total Bet: Under 205.5
Player Props:
None this time.
