3 NBA games today and honestly the lines feel a little inflated towards the favorite but also I don't trust the dogs either. Going to be interesting so let's dive in.
Celtics vs Nets
Picks: Durant o 2.5 3s (+145), Harden o 7.5 rbs
This is what I'm talking about with the line being inflated. Could the Nets blow out the Celtics and win by 13+, absolutely. But do you really feel good about laying those points OR trusting BOS to keep it close. I sure don't so I'll stay away from the side. I would look towards Nets TT but anything in the 120's is too high for me. So I'll play these two props which have been hitting this series.
Blazers at Nuggets
Picks: Nuggets -2, under 226.5
I have Nuggets winning this series and if that holds true then they can't lose game 5 here at home. I believe they get it done tonight and close out game 6 in Portland. The under has been hitting in this series and it's only adjusted down by 2 points. One of the games it went over because 21 points were scored in the last minute which is why I believe the total hasn't dropped to 222.5.
Lakers vs Suns
Picks: o 207.5, Lakers +5, Lebron triple double (+400), Booker o 1.5 3s, Drummond o 10.5 rbs, Schroder o 16.5 pts
There's a lot I like about this game as you can tell and that's probably because this series is the one I've watched the most. Giving the Lakers 5 points just seems too much to me and I have to think they'll be focused and keep it close. Yes AD is out but I think this end up going down to the final shots and Suns pull out the win. Lebron hasn't had to carry the load much here yet so tonight that's what will be asked of him and I think we see an amazing performance by Lebron thus I am on him to have a triple double especially at those odds. Drummond's rbs usually is 9.5 and it's been hitting over AND AD is out so I believe he should get his again tonight.
