Franchise hasn't won many series in general and never swept one. While they have owned the Suns thus far the previously had lost 9 of 10 playoff games to them. Closing out on the road is hard, Denver couldn't do it, Wolves probably won't either. |

55 points in the 1st is more than any other 1st in this series. And that was with Dallas only scoring 16

-6.5 is more than fair even with the blown leads plaguing the Lakers I think it's looking like 4 blowouts in a row. I already have the Over so wouldn't normally be doing this but a few bricked 3s and missed bunnies at the end of the half have it just literally .5 point away from halfway to the over Denver isn't hitting any 3s which while it hurts my over, it's a bad omen for any team in the playoffs. Hit your 3s and you win, brick em and lose. It's that simple. |

over 218.5 with 3 straight Unders we get some value here. During the regular season the Lakers were top 3 in 1st half scoring, and I think the nightcap we might finally get a game that is somewhat close and probably a lot of FTs for the Lakers as they try to avoid another sweep at the hands of Denver, which for some reason I think they probably will, even tho like i posted earlier Denver can really have a party in LA Sat night if they finish them off, but even if they don't they probably can anyway i don't think Jokic cares lol |

One of the worst mistakes I see sports bettors make is to try and cap like this. Cap every game one at a time. Yes you are watching on TV it looks like one long movie but it's in different cities and if one day of all favorites winning would crush the books then how come they're still standing after all these years I'm sure it's happened loads of times. Last week all home teams won one day. I think if you're going to look at it in those terms you're better off looking at the TV networks they are the ones that actually suffer on days like today when every game is a blowout, so 'they' probably want the nightcap to at least be close. That could mean the Over is a good play but close games aren't always high scoring either. Of course the most unlikely outcome of a Lakers blowout is probably what's going to happen now, watch. |

You can party a lot harder if you finish off the Lakers |

It's a great series for me I took the home team every game and haven't slept on the pesky and underrated Magic |

@dayknight That was exactly the same situation in the Lakers Denver game Thursday and Denver won as around a pk em But OKC doesn't have the experience of Denver, if they get down big like the Nuggets were I dunno would they come back 2 teams coming home 0-2 now have lost, it's usually a good angle. Have to stick with it va a young team. They might be the 1 seed but they're not really the finished article yet. The Pels almost came back a few times game 1 and actually got the cover. |

Why didn't they foul Brook Lopez that was so dumb. I knew they would blow that lead any time a team is up big first half they do this. You need to get the big lead late 2nd half. |

Lakers -1 Probably wait til close to tip off as I'd imagine bettors will lean to Denver after the last 2 games. I always like to fade a team that makes a huge comeback, especially if the next game is on the road. This is my least favorite of the 3 picks as I have seen the Lakers mess up 4th quarters not just last game but a few times. However, Denver didn't make the one seed this year and I think LA if they just get some guys like DLo and Reeves to hit some jumpers, Lebron and AD will definitely be getting the calls in the paint tonight back at home. |

Sixers -4.5 (again, got in before line moved up) Having said that, I think Philly will probably win tonight as they really played well towards the end of the season and we all know they should have won the last game. The 2 min report has admitted the refs screwed up multiple times costing the Sixers the game by not calling fouls, not granting timeouts and so Embiid will probably be shooting a lot of FTs tonight. This looks set to be a long series and the NBA would love a Philly/NY classic which for that to happen we need a win here at home where the Sixers have been fairly strong. The last game was a real anomaly as I watch the Sixers all the time and they have a good knack for pulling away from teams in the 4th quarter. Which they had done last time in NY before getting extremely unlucky. |

Always like to go with teams coming home down 0-2 and I be surprised if we don't get at least 2 out of 3. Magic -1.5 2 units Now up to 2.5 but I took this early on and for an extra unit as I have watched a lot of Magic games this season and they are a pesky team that has built some chemistry. Their main problem is they have the lowest 3 point makes per game in the NBA. Well, that and Donovan Mitchell has been killing them. It seems like bettors and oddsmakers alike feel like the Sixers have the strongest chance at getting a home win tonight but IMO Orlando is the best pick despite their lack of playoff experience. They won more home games than Philly while winning their division (in fairness there was only other one good team in the Southeast but it was Miami so finishing in front of them is decent) while the Cavs have one less road win than the Knicks, and most interestingly, despite being 2 games over .500 on the road they have only gone 3-9 in their last 12 road games). So I would prefer that and only laying a single bucket to the nearly 6 points the Sixers are laying now. |

@hustle_man Yeah I really helped 'those in the know' when I took all the home teams except the Thunder (just cuz I expected first game jitters due to their inexperience) and cleaned up, then had Indiana last night and Miami +14 tonight. I've made money every year in the NBA playoffs probably since before you were born. The patterns are not hard to figure out, there will be a few odd results but plenty of tried and true angles for these back and forth series. |

Another buffer classic. Only guy who can get a -14.5 fav to lose straight up with one post. Now we just need OKC to complete the fade buffer parlay How much did you pay this tout for his picks buffer? Must suck to have to pay him AND your bookie now. Ever think maybe this whole gambling thing just isn't your bag? |

Jimmy James told me to take the opposite sides of anything buffer posts because he is putting his bookie's kids through college |

This is my bookies current prices that you can take on the series, I don't get why the prices are so different. Isn't it impossible to cover -3.5 games if you don't sweep or am I missing something here? I already have 2.5 games but was getting greedy thinking of taking that plus money still on offer for the sweep |

Also they must have two of the worst coaches in the NBA: Jason Kidd and Tyronn Lue. Kidd especially. I don't think guys who were good players usually make good coaches. And Lue I don't know how he keeps getting HC jobs he doesn't strike me as particularly clever. |
