Milwaukee Bucks (-13) vs Orlando Magic 1:40 PM
The Magic actually have 7 30-point+ quarters this series while the Bucks only have 3. Weird. Bucks will win, but the spread has come down to the final possession in two straight games. I’ll side with the under in this one and parlay it with a Bucks win. Magic scored 43 points in the first half in Game 3, and 64 in the second half. I think this balances out and the Magic score somewhere around 100 so the only thing I worry about is Bucks putting up 130+.
Final Score Prediction: Bucks 116 Magic 102
Bet: MIL ML/Under 226.5 (+120)
Houston Rockets (-2.5) vs Oklahoma City Thunder 4:10 PM
In regulation, in each of these teams last 6 games, the Rockets are averaging 107 points per game while the Thunder are scoring 102 points per game. The average total in regulation is 216 in this series, with the last two games totaling 209 and 208. In Game 1, Harden made 6 3’s and the Rockets shot 48.3% from the field and the total only reached 231. If this game avoids overtime, this one should stay under. That being said, a little hedge on it actually going to overtime at +1200 is an interesting play.
Final Score Prediction: Rockets 107 Thunder 105
Bet: Under 224.5 & Game to go to overtime (+1200)
Indiana Pacers @ Philadelphia 76ers (-6.5) 6:40 PM
If Brogdon putting up 34 points and 14 assists, Turner getting 12 rebounds and the team shooting almost 49% can’t get this team a cover, I don’t know what can? I keep wanting to go back to it, but at this point? Screw it. Pacers ML +215. They’re going to lose so this will be the last time I do this.
Final Score Prediction: Pacers 105 Heat 115
Bet: PaCeRs MoNeYlInE +215
Los Angeles Lakers (-7) @ Portland Trailblazers 9:10 PM
The Lakers largest lead in Game 3 was 12 points and it was essentially close the entire game besides a 4 minute stretch in the 3rd quarter. The Trailblazers lead at halftime, and lost by 8 despite Lebron scoring 38. Lakers probably win and probably win big since I’m 0-3 on bets in this series, but I am going back to Dame one more time.
Final Score Prediction: Hopefully Lakers 131 Trailblazers 125 so we can get $50 back
Bet: POR +7
