NBA Turn Up: Playoffs Thursday
New series: NBA Turn Up
Thanks to those that take the time to read. Please, follow along on our socials and good luck to us!
6:30pm cst: Philadelphia 76ers (-4.5) vs. Brooklyn Nets
Brooklyn has been able to put up good fights against the 76ers until about the 3rd quarter then they tend to meltdown. Now the Nets are down 0-2 and this is typically the one game the losing team of the series wins if any to avoid the sweep. The 3PT shooting has been unreal from the Sixers in the first two games and I expect it to slow down tonight as they travel to Brooklyn. I like Brooklyn here and if you haven’t heard - if you like a dog to cover you might as well play the ML as well. Players choice.
Pick: Nets +4.5
Cam Johnson Points Over 16.5 (-125)
Seth Curry Points Over 7.5 (-120)
James Harden Points, Rebounds & Assists Over 34.5 (-120)
9:00pm cst: Sacramento Kings vs. Golden State Warriors (-6.5)
Just like that we have a new rivalry in the NBA. No Draymond Green tonight and Sabonis will be playing with an injured sternum. There is no telling how his health is looking. This crowd will be hot and I think this is a runaway game for the Warriors. Was hoping for 7.5 or 8 but I’m going GSW here. These Warriors props numbers are very high. Just playing the side here.
Pick: Warriors -6.5
9:30pm cst: Phoenix Suns (-7.5) vs. Los Angeles Clippers
Well, no Kawhi tonight due to a knee sprain apparently suffered during game 1. I guess he destroyed the Suns on one knee. I liked the Clippers coming into tonight but I really like them now with the deck stacked against them. Games like these the role players play out of their minds for one game and I think that’s all they will need. I’m buying low on the Clippers here. Again, if you think the Clippers win outright, might as well put some on the moneyline.
Pick: Clippers +7.5 & ML (+270)
Russell Westbrook Points, Rebounds & Assists Over 36.5 (-135)
Terrance Mann Points Over 11.5 (-120)
Eric Gordon Points Over 14.5 (-115)
