Ligue 1

The Cavs topped the Eastern Conference, putting up impressive numbers against the NBA’s strongest sides. They finished the season with the league’s best offensive rating, while they boast contenders for Defensive Player of the Year and Coach of the Year. The Cavs have a talented roster, which looks more cohesive under Kenny Atkinson’s watch. They head into the playoffs having put together three win streaks of 12 games or more this term, making this a standout price.

The Knicks produced an incredible fourth quarter comeback in Game 4 in Detroit to take a 3-1 series lead and that loss may have taken the fight out of the Pistons. The Knicks are back at Madison Square Garden and with home advantage they can finish this series, back the hosts to cover the spread.

The life has just been sucked out of the Milwaukee Bucks team after their 2nd best player Damian Lillard tore his Achilles tendon in Game 4. Indiana has dominated the series so far, and now they have a chance to deliver the knockout punch and move on the 2nd Round. They’ve won 15 of 17 home games and 8 of 9 at home vs the Bucks. I’m backing Haliburton and co. to cover here.

The Magic battled to the end in Game 4 against the Celtics. The grit and grind this team has shown in the series should set them up perfectly to stay competitive out on the road in Game 5. Banchero and Wagner have not disappointed in any of the games, averaging a combined 58 points per game. The Celtics have had real trouble keeping the pair out of the paint and there is nothing to suggest that will change ahead of this one.If the remaining cast can chip in, they can stay competitive in a slow paced, defensive battle.
