Hawks +5.5 over Wizards (2u)
John Wall and the Wizards got the Game One win, but is this team experienced enough on this stage to pull away with ease in this series? I’m not so sure. The Hawks are a talented team that now are in desperation mode. Going down 0-2 in the NBA Playoffs is never a good thing. The Hawks had 17 turnovers after jumping out to an early lead and that really cost them last game and Dwight Howard was awful only scoring 8 points and accounting for a -21 point differential when he was on the floor. I think the Hawks make the necessary adjustments to keep this game much closer and Millsap and Howard should have big games down low. I look for this is going to be a great game going right down to the last shot or two and wouldn’t be shocked if the Hawks tie this series with an outright win. Take the Hawks.

Thunder +8 over Rockets (2u)
I loved the Rockets in the first game of this series but I really like OKC to make adjustments and make this much closer than the last game. Westbrook and Oladipo didn’t play well and the Thunder who are the best rebounding team in the league were dominated on the glass by a 62-48 margin in Game One. If OKC has any shot to win this series they need to steal a game in Houston and probably this game tonight and they know that. I look for them to come out strong and compete to the very end with a chance to win this outright. Outside of the blowout last game all of these matchups have been decided by 3 points or less, the points are golden in this one. Take the Thunder.
Parlay both spreads for 1 unit +260.

Celtics -7 over Bulls (2u)
This is a tough series for Boston. The Celtics are a smaller team that has more talent, but if there is one thing the Bulls do well it is rebounding the ball. Boston won’t get many second chance points in this series so Game 2 at home is a must win. Look for the Celtics to up the tempo early in this game and to get out to a lead and never look back. This will be a great series that should go the distance. Take the Celtics.

Cavs -8 (-120) over Pacers (3u)
Cavs/Pacers Under 209.5 (1u)
I wanted to wait and see how the Cavs looked in the first game before getting involved in this series, but overall I really like what I saw. They jumped out to a big lead but then took the pedal off the gas in the 4th quarter and it almost cost them the game. They can’t afford to go into Indy with this series tied 1-1 so they are going to take care of business here tonight. The Cavs are a weird team who always seem to cover when people give up on them, so I love that the public is all over the Pacers tonight. I look for them to play a complete game all four quarters and to actually play some quality defense for once. This game has a 110-90 type feel all over it. Take the Cavs and Under.

Grizzlies +11 (2u)
There is no series in sports that is more fickle for the public bettor than the NBA Playoffs. People have a very short memory and can really only remember what happened last game and Vegas knows this and takes advantage of this when setting lines game to game. The public loved the Grizz game one but after getting dismantled, they have now completely flip flopped to the Spurs. I actually liked the Spurs game one but love the Grizz tonight. History shows when teams get blown out game one they almost always make adjustments and come out with a better game plan and put up a better fight which is exactly what I am expecting from the Grizzlies tonight. The Grizz were leading for most of Game 1 before the Spurs went on that huge 19-0 run, so I like them to stick around until the end tonight and have a legit chance at pulling the upset. Only reason this isn’t a 3u play as well is because I don’t like that Tony Allen is out, but the points should be golden. Take the Grizzlies.
