Orlando Magic vs. Toronto Raptors Pick

Orlando Magic vs. Toronto Raptors Pick

Repeating a 48.3% shooting performance from three-point range will be hard to replicate for the Magic so they will have to turn their calling card which has helped them all season, their defense. The Magic finished with a top-five scoring defense that surrendered just 106.6 points per contest (5th in the NBA). Can they hold the Raptors to under 107 and will that give them a cover against the spread as 10 point underdogs?

OKC Thunder vs. Portland Trail Blazers Pick

OKC Thunder vs. Portland Trail Blazers Pick

If there’s one note that OKC can take away from Game 1, it’s this: shoot better. Five made 3s in 33 attempts isn’t going to get the job done against one of the better offensive teams in the NBA. The Russ/Schroder PG combo managed to go 0-11 from downtown. Does an average shooting night from the Thunder make them a good bet against the spread at +2? KC has your NBA prediction.

San Antonio Spurs vs. Denver Nuggets Game 2 Pick

San Antonio Spurs vs. Denver Nuggets Game 2 Pick

The Nuggets clearly were not ready for their first playoff game in seven years, and it showed as a home court advantage that took much of the regular season to obtain, was squandered away in less than a few hours. Will they be ready for tonight as 7 point favorites? Matt Lowry gives his NBA pick against the spread.

Brooklyn Nets vs. Philadelphia 76ers Pick

Brooklyn Nets vs. Philadelphia 76ers Pick

Unlike the Sixers, the Nets had bench production. Most notably, Caris LeVert dropped 23 points and shot 8 of 18 from the field. “Can he keep this up?”, is the next question we have to ask ourselves. Matt Lowry has tonight’s Nets vs. Sixers free pick!

LA Clippers vs. Golden State Warriors Pick

You know that part in Billy Madison when he comes out for recess and beats the crap out of all of the kids on the playground with a dodgeball? That’s probably where we are with this Clippers – Warriors series. Bookmakers have made the Warriors 13.5 point favorites and that’s probably not the largest spread we will see in the series. Is it enough for tonight? KC has your NBA prediction.

OKC Thunder vs. Portland Trail Blazers Pick

OKC Thunder vs. Portland Trail Blazers Pick

The Thunder head to Portland to take on the Trail Blazers in Game 1 of their opening round playoff series. Oklahoma City took all four matches this season straight up and against the spread and will now get points this afternoon. Will the “Cash man” be playing the dog or will he be laying the points with his opening game pick.

Detroit Pistons vs. Milwaukee Bucks Pick

Detroit Pistons vs. Milwaukee Bucks Pick

The Bucks won all four of the games this season winning both games at Fiserv Forum by identical 23-point margins. Milwaukee is a -12.5 to -13 favorite on most betting boards making them an underlay in this spot. Read on to see if our handicapper is picking the home side tonight and laying the lumber.

Indiana Pacers vs. Boston Celtics Pick

Indiana Pacers vs. Boston Celtics Pick

There are several injury concerns for both teams heading into Game One. But Indiana has Center Myles Turner, Shooting Guard Wesley Matthews, Power Forward Thaddeus Young, and Small Forward Bojan Bogdanovic all listed as questionable. Should the Celtics win against the spread easily? Franks has the breakdown and prediction!

San Antonio Spurs vs. Denver Nuggets Pick

San Antonio Spurs vs. Denver Nuggets Pick

This will be the Spurs’ 22nd consecutive year they have made the playoffs under Popovich and he always seems to have his team ready. Okay maybe not last year when they were blasted in the first round by Golden State. Are the Nuggs the perfect matchup for Pop to breakdown over a series?
