NBA Saturday

These games today are trickier than the ones during the week so just 1 play over a normal unit.

Brooklyn+2

I thought after the last game when they imploded that a sweep was on the cards for the 2nd year in a row for the Nets but now the MVP is out, and even though they had a winning record without him, I think Mikal Bridges could have a good game to atone for being part of the mess up at the end of the last game, which they really had lost already, but prob wouldn't have if Claxton didn't get ejected for also doing something stupid.

Still think a gentlemen's sweep is on the cards. But I think today we will see that unlike the last week where all the teams missing stars still won, today it makes a bit more difference. The Sixers have to lose to show how much of an MVP Embiid is, right?

Suns -7.5 2 units 

Missing another star now means the Clips are severely depleted and Phoenix is expected to take this opportunity to get to 3 wins and be on the cusp of advancing. Ty Lue can't coach his way to a victory missing two HOF players vs a team that has 2 possibly 3 on the roster. Not worried about laying the big wood in this situation as I think as I said, missing stars starts to show up today and maybe a bit less home team dominance starts to show similar to Denver and Wolves this is a case of a team just done for not likely to win at home and SU winners are perfect vs the spread in these playoffs so far.

Miami Heat +5

Teams that get blown out tend to play better the next game, Giannis being questionable I think means he will probably play and despite SU winners being perfect ATS the Bucks and heat have battled a lot in the playoffs and this really is their season on the line they need to steal another game with Giannis either out or not 100%

I think this game comes down to the wire I'll take the 5 points in my pocket in that situation even though Miami, the lowesr scoring team in the NBA, is not getting through this series, coming back to sunny Florida off a blowout I think is a good spot

Like the way you're thinking

I think he can do it. He is outcoaching Monty Williams in this series by a wide margin and I expect he will again today. The flaw in Thursday's game was the excessive number of silly/unnecessary fouls. The Clippers were whistled for a total of 31 of them resulting in a huge 46 free throw attempts for the hated Suns.

Yeah.. you would love to see the clippers win so you will have no doubt at all the nuggets will win next round... Not going to happen pork chop

The Suns 3 future Hall of Famers are being ridden to death. 34-year old Durant has played 45, 44, and 42 minutes. Booker has played 43, 45, and 45. Wow. Chris Paul, who will turn 38 in two weeks, has played 39, 38, and 41. WOW. Yes, Paul played 41 minutes in Thursday's win and he was gasping and wheezing towards the end. He was terrible, shooting a poor 5-18 and predictably being off from long distance where he bricked 7 outta 8. He was intentionally fouled with 31 seconds left and got to try his only free throws of the game, but forget about it - he was running on fumes by then and missed both. And now these guys have to turn around and play again just 38 hours after Game 3 ended? How's Chris Paul gonna look today? Terrible is my prediction. Talk about someone who needs a load management day - Chris Paul is it, but he can't because his backup (Cameron Payne) is injured once again.

I wouldn't even be thinking of quitting today if I was one of the available Clippers. Tying this thing up and having Kawhi ready to go for Game 5 would sound like a good deal to me. The Clippers know that it's actually the Suns who are vulnerable today after being too dependent on their starters. Even that whoofbag Deandre Ayton had to log 35 minutes on Thursday night. That man would prefer to not work so hard. He is largely unhelpful during day games due to his all-night video game addiction. Maybe he actually opted to get some sleep last night. We'll see!

One team won and failed to cover - the Suns 38 hours ago.
