NBA Picks

The Warriors brought the broom with them in the Western Conference Finals as they swept the Portland Trailblazers. Most notably, the W’s did this without the services of all-NBA sensation Forward Kevin Durant. And, they did it in dramatic fashion with three of the aforementioned series victories coming after deficits of at least 17 points. Will the Dubs toy with Toronto the same way in game one or is there value with the Raps at -1? Keith has your NBA Finals pick!

It was not very long ago that the Milwaukee Bucks were looking very much like the beast of the East. Now their backs are firmly against the wall. As the #1 seed, they would have be able to advance to the NBA Finals simply by winning their home games. But that plan is shot to hell, as the Toronto Raptors have managed to “break serve.” Charles Jay breaks down this win-or-go-home game 6 for Milwaukee.

The Bucks find themselves in peril as they will be looking at potential elimination for the first time of the playoffs. After sweeping the Pistons in the First Round, making quick work of the Celtics in five games in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, and leaping out to a 2-0 lead in this series, the Raptors have proven to be all the Dinos can handle. Keith breaks down game six and gives his free pick.

Giannis was clearly rattled offensively in game three and it showed as he had his lowest scoring outing in this years’ playoffs. He did control the boards, grabbing 23 rebounds on the night but 12 points will not get it done. Can Giannis get freaky and help the Bucks cover the sportsbook’s -2? Matt has your pick!

The Warriors are expected to outshoot the Blazers from deep. They are the best in the biz. But, GSW is hurting Portland in all other areas as well. The Warriors outscored the Blazers 46-30 in the paint and also scored 21 fast break points to the Blazers’ eight. Do the Blazers have any fight left in them to cover as 4 point underdogs?

The Raptors were destroyed on the boards in Game 2 and it was all but over at halftime with the Bucks rolling to a 64-39 halftime lead in the 125-103 victory. Can some home cooking and the change of venue lead to a different result for the boys from the North? Check out who Franks is betting and why.

The Warriors take their 2-0 series record on the road tonight where the Trail Blazers will hot them in the Moda Center tonight in Game 3. NBA handicapper Kevin West nailed Game 2 with his play on the Portland plus the points and he feels strongly about Game 3. Read on to get his free pick.
