NBA Playoffs Record: (9-13)

• 6:30pm cst: Brooklyn Nets vs. Philadelphia 76ers (-10)

The Nets kept pace with the 76ers the best they could but Philadelphia set a franchise playoff record for 3PT made. It wasn’t just the 3PT defense that plagued Brooklyn but it was also the amount of turnovers they made. James Harden had a great game and so did Mikal Bridges. Normally, after a team has an other worldly offensive night it usually changes and slows down the next time out. The Nets had great FG% throughout the game until they went about 5 minutes without scored in the 3rd Quarter, which was the nail in the coffin.

Pick: Nets +10

Tobias Harris Over 13.5 Points (-115)

Cameron Johnson Over 15.5 Points (-105)

• 9:00pm cst: Golden State Warriors (-2) vs. Sacramento Kings

This was one hell of a 1st round game that felt like a game 7. The energy was definitely in the building and I expect more of the same tonight. GSW in my opinion played a near perfect game and still lost. The Kings were not perfect but got the job done. The Warriors at full health are a handful and probably a better version of Sacramento. If Mike Brown can figure out his rotations I think the Kings have a chance to be successful. The Kings need to get the Warriors off of the 3PT line. The Kings made 4 less 3PT shots but out rebounded the Warriors by 9 rebounds. Kings need to knockdown more open 3’s and continue to win the rebound battle. Sabonis needs to step up. He was missed in game one with a slow showing. The Kings role players made a huge difference in this game. Will the Warriors make more 3PT another night in a row?

Pick: Kings +2

Domantas Sabonis Points, Rebounds & Assists over 38.5 (-130)

Trey Lyles Points Over 7.5 (-110)

Jordan Poole Points Over 16.5 (+120)
