With the Celtics’ injuries, it still amazes us all that Stevens is able to engineer wins. The Bucks got the best of them in Game 3 while this series could remain on home court. Milwaukee got a even spread of scoring with 5 players in double figures while shooting 57% for the game. Helps
Best Bet = Milwaukee WIN or Over 204.5

Will be no surprise for the Warriors to take out Game 4 tonight. Been a tough run for the Spurs this season, thoughts out to Coach Pop.

| Toronto | Over | Washington |
| -2.0 | 218.0 | 106-98 |
The Raptors could be heading in that ‘shaky’ territory if they go back home with the series tied. All three games so far have been decided by scoring which does make the Over attractive. With the Raptors iffy, take the Over.
Best Bet = Over 218.0

Under is 5-0-1 in the last 6 meetings.

| TEAM | PPG | OPP PPG | DIFF |
| Cleveland | 110.9 | 109.9 | +0.9 |

Picks against the spread
| Spread | O/U Points | Result |
| Cleveland | Under | Cleveland |
| +1.5 | 204.5 | 104-100 |
Both these teams were high scoring in the regular season but have kept the pace low for the playoffs with the highest combined score coming in Game 2 at 197 points. That is including 44 points from LeBron. His Cavs were blown away late in Game 3 and were close to snatching the win. We trust the King to tie the series.
Best Bet = Cleveland WIN or Under 204.5
