You can’t really split these two at the moment when their guns are firing. With the Cavs woes, this could be the Eastern Conference Finals preview.
The Raptors have an NBA leading home court record but the Celtics have proven time and time again they can be competitive just about anywhere.
Best Bet = Toronto -4.0

The Wizards have won their last 5 without superstar John Wall and will see tonight as another chance considering the 76ers poor recent form. Embiid could explode against a lax Wizards defense so expect another high scoring contest.
Best Bet = Over 213.5

The Thunder have rallied around Westbrook when coming up against his old foe in Durant which means all recent form gets thrown out the window. The Warriors will also be looking to improve on their last matchup against the Thunder where Russ went wild.
Best Bet = OKC +10.0

The Lakers wont be joining the tanking stakes with no draft picks for the next lottery so may look to improve on their position where other teams will take advantage.
Best Bet = LA Lakers -7.5
