With the Bucks still down Giannis Antetokounmpo and most likely Khris Middleton, it’s hard to see Milwaukee’s offense keeping up with the uber-efficient Pacers. Indiana’s defense is nothing to write home about, but they’re capable of getting ample stops to win and cover here.

The first two games have both been lower scoring games. The Clippers saw Kawhi Leonard return in game two but came out flat shooting the basketball. I believe we see the Clippers attack the inside more in game three generating easier shots with the absence of Daniel Gafford. Before Gafford joined the Mavericks, Dallas was a bottom ten defense.

This is a do or die situation for the Suns, if they want to keep any hope of advancing alive they have to deliver in Game 3. Expect an electric crowd in their first home game of the postseason. Minnesota has played close to perfection in the first two games, it’ll be a challenge to sustain that type of effort on the road here. I have Kevin Durant and co. getting this one.

There is no pitcher who wants to face this Dodgers lineup, and today, the Dodgers will be looking to score big in today’s matchup.  The Blue Jays have struggled recently losing 4 out of their last 5, and as they hope to turn things around, it’s going to be difficult against the Dodgers. I think the Dodgers get to Bassitt early and score enough runs to offset the few runs Stone gives up to the Jays.

This line has been cleared in both meetings so far in the series and most of the trends are pointing to yet another high scoring game. The over has now cashed in 8 of 9 games overall for Colorado and in 5 straight for the Jets. In meetings at Ball Arena the over is 5-2 in the last 7 games. These teams rank 2nd and 9th in goal attempts per game this season, so expect to see a lot of offense here.

The Knicks are great outsiders to win the Eastern Conference but backing them each-way for the title offers a better return. The Knicks were second in the regular season and they’ve improved since adding OG Anunoby midway through the campaign. The former Toronto Raptor has been on a title-winning roster, while he’s a solid postseason option and a defensive superstar. The Knicks have Jalen Brunson in the form of his life, so they’re fantastic outsiders to win the East.

The Mavericks’ 16-2 run down the stretch proved they can be a postseason force. They’ve got the best backcourt in the West, while defensive upgrades in February have made them really hard to stop. The Mavs have become very efficient offensively in the back-half of the campaign and in Luka Doncic they boast a near unstoppable offensive force, alongside NBA champion Kyrie Irving.

The Timberwolves’ huge frontcourt is fancied to cause problems for a Suns side who lack the defensive options for a long postseason run. The Suns have struggled to impress in the last couple of playoff runs and they finished eight games behind a Timberwolves side who were the clear best side in the West before Karl-Anthony Towns went down with injury. With Towns back to fitness, back Minnesota to progress.

The Mavericks are flying right now and they meet an LA Clippers side who have gone cold. The Clippers roster is packed with players known for shrinking in the postseason and their star man Kawhi Leonard is an injury doubt.

The Bucks had a shaky finish to the season and they lost four of five meetings with Indiana this season. The Pacers’ chances will be boosted by the news that Giannis Antetokounmpo will miss out early in this series.

The Magic have all the tools to expose this Cavs side and they rank third defensively this term, which bodes well for the postseason. Cleveland lost 15 of their final 25 games this season, with their roster lacking cohesiveness and rumours swirling that star man Donovan Mitchell is heading for the exit.

The pair split the regular season series 2-2, but that was before the Cavs fell apart in the run-in.
