Spurs +11.5 over Warriors
The Warriors can put this series to bed tonight and I believe they will, but these spreads lately have just been outrageous. Cavs last night showed that anything can happen, and it’s really hard to lay a big number in a conference final like this. The Warriors have burned me the past two times I faded them without Leonard in the lineup, but third times the charm. The Spurs were a great basketball team and played excellent at home all year. This is a quality basketball team and even with the big injuries have enough pride to go down with a fight. Last game they were a basket away from the cover and this is a very proud franchise who I expect to do everything possible to avoid the sweep, especially in front of their home fans. Shorthanded or not, I like for San Antonio to come out and give it their all and make this two interesting games in a row in a playoffs which have been a total snooze fest. Take the Spurs.
5/20 (No Play)

No play on this game. Just no value in the line. No reason to throw a dart on this meaningless game. Cavs will definitely win but they have no incentive to win by 40 again. A Cavs blowout or a Celtics backdoor, neither would surprise me.
If you want action my Lean would be Cavs & Under.

In Popovich we trust! Just way too many points for the Spurs to be getting at home & no Zaza for GS

Rotation #501-502
Cavs -5 over Celtics (2u)
I said in the game 1 writeup I’d need close to double digits before I could even consider taking Boston in this series, Cleveland is just flat out the much better team. Boston doesn’t have the size and they can’t rebound (actually were only outrebounded by 4 and still lost by 13) and have no answer for Love or Lebron. The scary thing is Kyrie didn’t even play that well it was still a total beat down. I just don’t see the Celtics being able to win a game in this series unless they shoot 60% from the field and 40% from 3. I do think this game will be high scoring again and Boston should be a little more competitive, but Cleveland is unstoppable right now and you’d have to be a fool to be against them on a spread this short. Take the Cavs.

Cavs -3.5 over Celtics
I love the way Boston has been playing, but they had trouble in both series so far with rebounding the basketball and that is going to be a big problem in this one against the Cavs who are going to have the big rebounding edge. This is really bad matchup for the Celtics because they don’t have anyone who can cover Lebron and Isiah Thomas is going to be a massive liability on defense all series. The Celtics have to be worn out from that back and forth seven game series while the Cavs are fully rested. The Celtics only hope is so have their bigs hit a lot of threes and draw Thompson out to open up the lane but the Cavs know this. Ultimately, I trust LeBron to have the team ready to go. They may have a little rust to start but over four quarters they are the superior team. The Cavs know the Warriors have yet to lose in the playoffs and will want to keep that mental edge with them. Cleveland just has way too many scoring options against this Celtics team who can struggle to score at times. I really don’t see this series going any more than 5 and don’t see the Cavs coming out and laying an egg game tonight so I like them to win and cover this opening game. Boston will have to be getting over 8 points before I can even think about taking them. It will take a perfect game for the Celtics to cover tonight, I look for a double digit win for the Cavs tonight. Take the Cavs.
