NBA FINALS GAME 3 PREVIEW:
- Dallas is a 2.5 point favorite for game 3 after being 7 point dogs in game 1 and 2.
- A 9.5 point adjustment normally would be too much of an adjustment for just flipping home court BUT you have to remember this is a MUST WIN GAME. They lose this and the Finals is over because no one has ever comeback down 3-0 in the NBA playoffs. Now maybe you think this still too much of an adjustment and if that's the case then you are getting value on BOS here.
- When both games 1 and 2 go under in an NBA playoff series the under in game 3 hits 57% of the time (90 times since 2002).
- But if we just look at the Finals, since 2002 there have been 5 times an NBA Finals game 1 and 2 have both went under and each time game 3 has gone OVER. I wonder what makes the Finals series different than other playoff series BUT also it's a small sample size of 5 vs a sample size of 90 for all series.
- In all playoff series, if you lose both games 1 and 2 and you're favored in game 3, you cover 60.2% of the time.
- Why is this? Because you can't fake desperate and the Mavericks are desperate for a win here in game 3.
- Porzingis is quesitonable to return this series with "rare" leg injury Porzingis Injury
UFC 303 STILL IN DOUBT:
- As Crickett and I have been saying since last week, McGregor is not going to fight on this card. I can't believe the UFC is still pushing that this fight is going to happen (possibly setting themselves up to get sued) but reports are the UFC is calling other fighters to fill in UFC 303
- McGregor mocks the weak PPV buys for UFC 302 500k PPV for UFC 302
