- Donovan Mitchell scored 19 of his 31 points in the 4th quarter of Game 4 after shooting just 32.8% from the floor through the first 3 games, finding his shooting touch in the final 12 minutes of Game 4.
- The Rockets had a chance to end the series but they went 4-of-20 shooting with 6 turnovers in the 4th quarter, absolutely shitting the bed.
- Clint Capela is struggling with two respiratory illnesses which greatly affected his play in Game 4 as he had just 4 points on 1-of-6 shooting with 7 rebounds after averaging 11.3 points and 12 rebounds over the first 3 games.
- Capela is a vital cog in the Rockets machine, and if he’s laboring tonight we like the Jazz to sneak into the +8.5.
OUR PICK = Utah +8.5 & Under 212.5

- The Warriors got the job done on the road and can clinch a spot in their 5th straight Western Conference Semi-Finals tonight. The Warriors choked in Game 2, surrendering a 31-point lead but recovered with two solid wins with Durant and Klay leading the charge.
- Curry was held to 12 points on 3-of-14 shooting, including 1-of-9 from 3-point range in Game 4.
- Like Unders tonight, with the Clippers to keep it closer than the spread suggests.
OUR PICK = LA Clippers +14.5
