AAA Sports' Selection: San Antonio Spurs (ATS).

New York won against Cleveland pretty easily in the ECF. We think that not being tested will hurt it.

The Knicks have had a much 'easier' path between these two teams. They have dominated -- so props to them.

But, they are just 4-11 against the spread this season in 'road' games against opponents from the Western Conference.

San Antonio has won 11 of the L12 games played at home between these two teams.

The Spurs are also 11-4 versus the spread in 'home' games against opponents from from the East -- 20-11 ats overall in those games.

We're on SAS.

AAA Sports' Selection: Oklahoma City Thunder (ATS).

Oklahoma City plays much better at home and should be back to playing it's normal game here tonight.

The Thunder are 18-2 over their L20 home games, making this game seem like home court advantage could be the difference.

San Antonio bullied it's way to a win with physicality in Game Six to force this Game Seven on Saturday.

The Spurs are just 3-8 over their L11 games played on the road against the Thunder though.

The majority of this team outside of Bismack Biyombo (won't play), Luke Kornet (off bench) Harrison Barnes have never been in a spot for a chance to make the finals before. This is new territory for them.

The play is on OKC.

AAA Sports' Selection: Oklahoma City Thunder (ATS).

Oklahoma City took advantage of SAS' inexperience in Game Five and that will show again in Game Six.

The Thunder are 5-1 over their L6 road games played in these playoffs and will be dangerous again tonight.

They are also 6-3 against the spread over their L9 games.

San Antonio has had trouble against the depth of OKC. It's allowing players like McCain to get fully settled in.

The Spurs are just 11-14 versus the spread this season against opponents within the Western Conference who are not in the same division as them .

We're on OKC.

AAA Sports' Selection: San Antonio Spurs (ATS).

San Antonio got off to a 15-0 start in Game Three. But, it wasn't enough as it didn't play a full game of basketball.

The Spurs are still very much in this series though. A win here would tie the series right back up.

They are 15-5 over their L20 games played at home this season.

There isn't much bad to say about Oklahoma City other than the losing record against the spread this season.

The Thunder are just 2-5 versus the spread over their L7 games played against opponents from within the Southwest Division too.

We're on the Spurs.

AAA Sports' Selection: Cleveland Cavaliers (ATS).

Detroit did win the first two games of the series back at home. But, this series shifts to Cleveland where the Cavs do their best work.

The Pistons are just 2-4 against the spread over their L6 games played on the road.

They are also 1-10 over the L11 games between these two teams played in this stadium.

Cleveland is 22-8 at home against opponents within the Eastern Conference (has a losing record in those games on the road).

The Cavs have also been winners in eight straight home games against any team.

We're on Cleveland to bounce back.

AAA Sports' Selection: San Antonio Spurs (ATS).

San Antonio bounced back in Game Two after losing in Game One. We are looking for it to continue the hot shooting.

The Spurs are on a red hot 10-1 run over their L11 games played on the road this season.

They are also 52-38 against the spread in all of their games this year.

Minnesota's still trying to manage Edwards' minutes early on in this series. He's been good, but hasn't been fully healthy just yet.

The Timberwolves are in the negative when playing versus the spread this season at 42-48.

We're on SAS.

AAA Sports' Selection: Toronto Raptors (ATS).

Toronto has covered against the spread in four straight games in this series and still isn't getting to respect.

The Raptors are now 28-13 versus the spread against opponents within the Eastern Conference, outside of their division this season.

They are also 6-3 straight up over the L9 games between these two teams.

Cleveland is just 22-35-1 against the spread this year against opponents within the East.

The Cavs are also having a lot of trouble at the FT line right now.

We're on Toronto to keep it close and maybe eek out a win.

AAA Sports' Selection: Boston Celtics (ATS).

Philadelphia won back-to-back games in this series to force Game Seven. But, can it win a third in a row against Boston.

We don't think so. The Sixers are just 7-13 over the L20 games between these two teams.

They are also just 9-20 as an underdog against opponents from the Eastern Conference.

Boston has an elite 51-37 record against the spread so far this season.

The Celtics will feed on their crowd in the 4th quarter tonight.

We think that they will pull away late. The play is on Boston.

AAA Sports' Selection: Denver Nuggets (ATS).

Denver went down three games to one, but looked sharp in Game Five and should win again in Game Six.

The Nuggets are 14-3 over their L17 games this season, even with three losses in this series.

They are also 38-19 against opponents within the Western Conference this year.

Minnesota is without DiVencenzo and Edwards again, and for the rest of the series.

The Timberwolves are just 40-47 against the spread this season too.

We're on Denver.

AAA Sports' Selection: Detroit Pistons (ATS).

Detroit has been sub-par so far in this series. As the one seed, it knows that it must turn things around and now.

The Pistons are still 40-15 against Eastern Conference opponents this season, winning 19 of 27 on the road.

Orlando has a fairly strong home record. But, it's home record is still worse than the Pistons' record on the road this season.

The Magic are just 23-34 against the spread in all games played against opponents within the East this season -- home/away.

We're on Detroit to make it 2-2.

AAA Sports' Selection: Los Angeles Lakers (ATS).

Los Angeles has won both of the two games so far in the series as underdogs. Why can't it do it again?

The Lakers are short-handed. But, they play really well against Houston and this is a great matchup for the,

They've also covered against the spread in nine of the L13 games played in Texas.

Houston has crumbled under pressure and now these are almost must-win games, especially this one.

The Rockets will probably win this one, but don't expect it to be easy. They are just 20-34 against the spread against opponents within the Western Conference this season.

The play is on LAL.

AAA Sports' Selection: Detroit Pistons (ATS).

Orlando won Game One behind some great rebounding -- especially offensively (11-6 in the game).

The Magic won't have the same success tonight as Detroit is the much better rebounding team and it was an off-night for Duren.

They are just 22-33 against the spread this season versus opponents within the Eastern Conference.

Detroit must respond and it knows that. It's 60-23 and 32-10 at home for a reason this season.

The Pistons are also still 10-5 versus the spread over their L15 games this year.

We're on Detroit.

AAA Sports' Selection: Houston Rockets (ATS).

Houston will probably still be without Kevin Durant -- but that's okay as it's got a lot of guys that can step in and fill the spot.

The Rockets are still 9-2 over their L11 games this season even after losing the first game of this series.

Los Angeles has the advantage in terms of history between these two teams. But, lots of that goes out the window in a best-of-seven series.

The Lakers are still without two of their top three players -- Luka Doncic + Austin Reaves are still missing.

They are not the same without those two guys and will have a tough time scoring unless Kennard goes for nearly 30 again.

We're on Houston given the injuries and depth.

AAA Sports' Selection: Toronto Raptors (ATS)

Toronto swept the season series during the regular season, winning all three games against Cle -- includes twice in Cleveland.

The Raptors didn't play their best in Game One, but there's lots of time to recover.

They are 14-3 straight up over their L17 games played against opponents from the Central Division.

Cleveland hasn't been too good against the spread this season, so laying eight points seems like way too much.

In fact, the Cavs are just 21-31-1 versus the spread against opponents within the Eastern Conference this season.

The play is on Toronto.

AAA Sports' Selection: Oklahoma City Thunder (ATS).

Phoenix won one of it's two play-in games. But, this one's going to be a lot harder than those ones.

The Suns are just 5-14 over their L19 games played in the month of April.

They have also been annihilated in most games against OKC over the last couple of seasons.

Oklahoma City will be ready for the game tonight, just like it was against Memphis in Game One to start last year's postseason.

In fact, the Thunder won that game by 51 points! Another blowout might just be on the card for today.

We're on the Thunder.

AAA Sports' Selection: Minnesota Timberwolves (ATS).

Lots of money is coming in on Denver, increasing the spread from 5.5 to 6.5. We like Minnesota here.

The Timberwolves finished with back-to-back wins, and have beaten Denver in seven of the L10 games.

Anthony Edwards should be much healthier than he has been over the last couple of weeks and the rest was much needed.

Denver is always a threat, especially at home to win basketball games.

But, the Nuggets aren't anything special when it comes to covering against the spread either, with a losing ats record at home this year.

We're on the T-Wolves.

AAA Sports' Selection: Charlotte Hornets (ATS).

Charlotte has been one of, if not the hottest team in the NBA in the second half of the season.

There's a reason why the road team is a favorite in this elimination game on Friday night.

The Hornets are 15-3 over their L18 games played on the road this season. Crazy!!

Orlando has not looked too good over it's L2 games, losing to Boston's 'B-Team' and Philadelphia at home in the first Play-In Game.

The Magic are now just 2-8 over their L10 games played against opponents within the Eastern Conference.

AAA Sports' Selection: Philadelphia 76ers (ATS).

Orlando has been winning. But, not in impressive ways to finish off the season. Just lost to the Boston reserves.

The Magic are just 5-15 over the L20 games played between these two teams.

They are also 20-32 against the spread this season against opponents within the Eastern Conference -- that's only 38%.

Philadelphia will be without Embiid. But, it's still got Maxey and PG to provide big minutes and points.

The Sixers are 6-2 versus the spread over their L8 games played as a favorite this season .

We're on Philly.

AAA Sports' Selection: Boston Celtics (ATS):

Orlando is fighting to pass both Atlanta or Toronto for the final spot inside the playoffs (not play-in.)

The Magic are just 1-4 straight up and against the spread over the L5 games played between these two teams though.

They are also 0-7 over their L7 games played at the TD Garden against the Celtics.

Boston has clinched the #2 seed in the East, which is the reason for being an underdog here.

But, the Celtics are still playing really well and have a really deep bench which could stir things up here.

We like Boston to cover and win this game to pick up it's 30th home win of the year.

AAA Sports' Selection: Orlando Magic (ATS):

Orlando has won four games in a row and have covered against the spread in five of their L6 games now.

The Magic haven't been as successful against East opponents compared to West this year. But, they are in a must win game so they must play their best.

Chicago has won back-to-back games but has still lost seven of it's L9 games.

The Bulls are also much better at covering the spread against West opponents so the poorness of ATS cancels out each team here.

Orlando is a game back from the 5th and 6th ranked teams. We're on the Magic to win this one and have a chance at passing either of them.

AAA Sports' Selection: Utah Jazz (ATS):

Both of these teams are out of the playoffs, but there's still lots of opportunity to win in this game.

Utah looks to snap a 9-game losing streak. It's covered against the spread in 10 of the L15 games between these two teams.

New Orleans has lost eight games in a row itself and has failed to cover the spread in five of it's L6.

The Pelicans are also 0-14 over their L14 games played in the month of April since last year.

For teams not going to be in the playoffs, getting double digits is quite absurd.

We're on Utah.

AAA Sports' Selection: Golden State Warriors (ATS):

Houston has won five straight games, but has only covered against the spread in four of it's L13 games.

Some of those ats losses are included in their 1-7 run against the spread over the Rockets' L8 road games.

Golden State is likely to get Stephen Curry back tonight. He's going to spark GS down the stretch and will make a huge difference.

The Warriors have beaten the Rockets in 14 of the L20 games between these two teams.

We're on Golden State.

AAA Sports' Selection: Minnesota Timberwolves (ATS):

Charlotte will most likely be a part of the Eastern Conference play-in tournament. It's had a solid season.

The Hornets have struggled against the T-Wolves though, losing four of the L5 games between these two teams both straight up and against the spread.

Each of the L3 games between these teams were double digit wins for Minny -- that includes once already this year on the road.

Minnesota has lost back-to-back games, but has covered against the spread in six of their L9 games this season.

The Timberwolves have also won 63% of their games against opponents from the Eastern Conference.

We're on Minnesota.

AAA Sports' Selection: Minnesota Timberwolves (ATS):

Minnesota got back Edwards on Monday and have been playing well even without him, 5-2 straight up and against the spread over it's L7 games.

Anthony Edwards is questionable for tonight. But, we think he'll want to play against one of the top contenders in the East. If he doesn't we still like the TWolves.

The Timberwolves are 17-8 against opponents from the Eastern Conference this season.

Detroit is also missing Cade Cunningham, which is a huge blow for a game like this.

The Pistons are just 6-8 versus the spread at home against Western Conference opponents this year.

Play on Minnesota.

AAA Sports' Selection -- Denver Nuggets (ATS):

Denver almost lost to Utah in the last meeting only a few days ago. It had to pull of a late comeback in order to win that game.

The Nuggets are still 9-0 straight up and 7-2 against the spread over the L9 games between these two teams.

They are also covering versus the spread in 59% of their games played on the road this season.

Utah has played a couple of games since that game and has lost both, as expected.

The Jazz are just 3-6 against the spread over their L9 games this year.

We're expecting a much more comfortable Denver win tonight.

AAA Sports' Selection: Denver Nuggets (ATS):

Golden State is still without Stephen Curry and it's probably going to get the #10 seed if he doesn't come back soon.

The Warriors are just 1-5 against the spread over their L6 games this season and have won three straight. This is a much harder game than who those wins were against.

Denver has failed to cover the spread in three straight. It's time for a big performance from the Nuggets.

They are 5-0 over their L5 games straight up too and have won seven straight at home against GSW.

The Nuggets are also hunting down the Lakers for the three seed in the West currently.

We're on Denver.

AAA Sports' Selection -- Denver Nuggets (ATS):

Utah has been really bad lately and just lost against the Wizards by more than 20 points.

The Jazz are 1-12 against opponents within the Northwest Division in the West -- that's 0-6 straight up on the road and 2-4 against the spread.

They are also 1-5 versus the spread over their L6 games this season.

Denver hasn't covered the spread in back-to-back games and we think that it sets up well to crush in this game.

The Nuggets are 8-4 versus the spread against divisional opponents.

We're on Denver.

Our selection is on the Minnesota Timberwolves to cover the spread against the Golden State Warriors on Friday at 10:10pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Minnesota won by 25 the last time that these teams played each other and that game was without Curry too.

The Timberwolves are off an embarrassing loss against the Clippers and will look to make amends on Friday.

Golden State definitely needs it's star point guard back. It's now lost three straight games and won one of their L6.

The Warriors are also 1-9 versus the spread over their L10 games played at home.

We're on Minnesota.

AAA Sports

Our selection is on the Boston Celtics to cover the spread against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday at 9:40pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

The Celtics have gone 7-2 versus the spread over their L9 games played on the road this season.

Oklahoma City still remains slightly unhealthy, without Jalen Williams and Isaiah Hartenstein.

The Thunder have failed to cover against the spread in six games in a row and we think that they have a real chance of losing this game outright.

Utah has dealt with injury problems all season long. But, it's still been successful versus the spread lately.

We're on the Magic tonight.

AAA Sports

The Raptors have failed to cover against the spread in eight of their L9 games played.

They are also 1-4 straight up and against the spread over their L5 games played against the Bucks.

Milwaukee has been under-par too, and without Giannis, it doesn't get much respect with point spread lines.

We'll take the points.

AAA Sports

Chicago is on a bad losing streak of seven games in a row.

But, the Bulls were terrific before then and have much better offensive statistics than Charlotte.

They've beaten the Hornets in 15 of the L19 games between these two teams since 2021.

Charlotte has been much worse than Chicago this season and holds a 7-17 record this season.

The Hornets never know what type of LaMelo Ball they are going to get, but it's mostly been rough sailing recently.

They are just 3-11 over their L14 games played against opponents from the Central Division .

We're on Chicago .

Los Angeles hasn't had a good start to the year at all but finally snapped the losing streak by beating Atlanta in it's last game.

We're on the Clippers.

AAA Sports

Our selection is on the Phoenix Suns to cover the spread against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday at 9:40pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Phoenix isn't at full strength still without Jalen Green. But, it's off one of it's top performances of the season against Sacramento.

They are also 8-1 versus the spread over their L9 games played against opponents within the Western Conference.

Oklahoma City is on pace to break some records this season with it's straight up record. But, it's not been great at covering lately,.

Los Angeles beat Utah by more than 10 a few days ago and these teams will meet again today, but in Utah.

The Lakers have been really good this season, but probably will cool off sooner than later.

Utah is a lot better at home and has a 6-2 record versus the spread in this arena.

AAA Sports

Our selection is on the San Antonio Spurs to defeat the Golden State Warriors on Friday at 9:40pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

The Warriors are just 2-6 against the spread this season when playing on the road.

They've also lost six of the L9 games versus the spread against the Spurs.

San Antonio was perfect at home until that game, but is still 5-1 this season and 4-2 against the spread.

The play is SAS.

AAA Sports

Our selection is on the Denver Nuggets to defeat the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday at 10:40pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Denver is red hot. It's won five games in a row and that includes a win by double digits on the road yesterday.

The Nuggets are in the second game of a 'back-to-back.' But, we can't take away from the fact that they are playing like one of the best in the league right now.

They have beaten the Clippers in six of the L9 games between these two teams.

Los Angeles has really had trouble this season and will be missing Kawhi Leonard for the 5th straight game.

The Clippers are just 1-9 against the spread in all 10 of their games this year.

We're on the Nuggets and would avoid LAC until further notice.

AAA Sports

Our selection is on the Miami Heat to cover the spread against the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday at 9:10pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Miami has been playing much faster this season and it's helped it have a winning record through seven games.

The Heat are now 5-2 against the spread on the year and it's difficult to see them losing by more than 10.

They have been really disrespected by the oddsmakers too, being underdog's now in seven of their first eight games.

Denver has also started well, but hasn't covered the spread in either of it's L2 games.

The Nuggets are 0-5 versus the spread over their L5 games against opponents from the Eastern Conference since last year.

We're on the Heat tonight.

AAA Sports

Our selection is on the Boston Celtics to defeat the Utah Jazz on Monday at 7:40pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Utah played yesterday and will have to travel from Charlotte to Boston overnight.

The Jazz have started the season with a couple of wins, but have now lost back-to-back games and are falling back to reality.

They had lost 10 games in a row on the road before the Charlotte game (hasn't started yet before this writeup.)

Boston is in need for a game like this with a losing record so far too. As a big favorite at home.

The Celtics have been great recently though winning three of their L4.

We're on Boston tonight.

AAA Sports

Our selection is on the Denver Nuggets to defeat the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday at 9:10pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

New Orleans has lost all three games this season and has really relied on Zion Williamson's production this season.

When Zion didn't play, the Pelicans lost 122-90 at home against the Celtics.

He's questionable tonight and if he plays, he will not be completely himself.

Denver has played really well over the L2 games and it's always difficult to play games in the elevation of Denver.

The Nuggets are scoring loads of points averaging 130.3 points a game so far this year.

We're on Denver tonight.

AAA Sports

Our selection is on the Dallas Mavericks to defeat the Toronto Raptors on Sunday at 7:40pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Toronto has looked quite good over the first two games even though it's split the games.

The Raptors did fall off a bit in the second half of the last game though.

They haven't done too well against Dallas over the last couple of years, just 2-7 over their L9 games against it.

Dallas hasn't started the season well losing by double digits in both games.

But, the Mavericks are at home and this is a great chance to pick up their first win, at home.

We're on this higher quality Dallas to get out of the rut on Sunday.

AAA Sports

Our selection is on the Oklahoma City Thunder to defeat the Indiana Pacers on Thursday at 7:40pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Oklahoma City has already won a game on Opening Night and got the excitement of the new season and early jitters out of the way.

The Thunder won commandingly once Haliburton got hurt last season in the Finals. They were a Western Conference best, 32-8 in away games last season.

OKC also has an 11-3 record versus the spread over their L14 games played against opponents from the Central Division of the East Conference.

Indiana will be without Hali for a lot of the season if not the whole thing. It also lost Myles Turner. Both of those have caused huge downgrades.

We think that this one is going to get ugly.

AAA Sports

Our selection is on the Detroit Pistons to defeat the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday at 8:10pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Detroit was a playoff team last year and really challenged the Knicks in maybe the best playoff series.

J.B. Bickerstaff had the Pistons playing really good team ball and should have them back in the postseason again with a winning record.

They were 11-6 against the spread last season when playing as a road favorite.

Chicago hasn't done much to improve and Giddey + Vucevic are going to need to do so much for it do have any sort of hope early on with no White.

The Bulls are very young and are probably in a rebuilding year this season.

We're on the Pistons to start the season off on the right foot.

AAA Sports

Our selection is on the Oklahoma City Thunder to defeat the Indiana Pacers on Friday at 8:30pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Oklahoma City did not look like itself in Game Three and we think that it will bounce back in Game Four.

The Thunder are a better home team, but are still 26-21 versus the spread on the road in spite of losing eight in a row.

They are 63-37-1 against the spread in all of their games this season.

Indiana is 23-25-1 versus the spread when playing at home this year.

In the past, when Indiana loses to OKC, it typically loses against the spread too.

We think that OKC wins this game as the favorite.

AAA Sports

Our selection is on the Oklahoma City Thunder to defeat the Indiana Pacers on Thursday at 8:30pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Indiana did a really good job getting to the finals. But we think that it's met it's match.

The Pacers have a losing record against the spread in all games this season.

Oklahoma City has been the best team in the NBA this season by quite a bit and it's big favorites in Game One.

The Thunder are 9-0 against the spread over their L9 games against opponents from the Eastern Conference.

They have also won six games in a row at home.

We're on the Thunder in Game One.

AAA Sports

Our selection is on the New York Knicks to defeat the Indiana Pacers on Sunday at 8:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

New York lost the first two games of this series but still is in this series with a win tonight.

The Knicks are playing better on the road and have won six of their L7 games on the road since the final game of the regular season.

In Game Two, they had the bad taste of Game One in their mouths. Now, they can reset and have a much cleaner basketball game.

Indiana has been a terrific story in these playoffs with three of the most insane comebacks in playoff history already.

But, the Pacers are just 12-17-1 versus the spread at home against opponents within the Eastern Conference this year.

We're on the Knicks in Game Three.

AAA Sports

Our selection is on the Oklahoma City Thunder to defeat the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday at 8:30pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Minnesota did well to beat Golden State before Steph Curry was able to return from his injury.

The Timberwolves are a really good team overall but we don't think that they'll be able to switch from an injured GS team to the best team in the NBA this year so fast.

Oklahoma City was battle tested in the last game but was able to stay alive.

The Thunder have been extremely good against the spread this year.

They've covered versus the spread in 33 of 49 games at home .

We're on OKC in Game One.

AAA Sports

Our selection is on the Denver Nuggets to cover the spread against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday at 3:30pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Previously in the series we took Denver (2nd Round Game Of The Year.) It was a winner.

The Nuggets are playing OKC really tight this series and this seems like too many points for a Game Seven.

They are 6-1 versus the spread over their L7 games since the last game of the first series,

Oklahoma City is really good but is just 1-7 against the spread over it's L8.

It's also just 2-7 against the spread over it's L9 games versus Denver at home.

We're on the Nuggets.

Our selection is on the Boston Celtics to defeat the New York Knicks on Friday at 8:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Boston won't have Tatum for the rest of the year but it looked really good without him in Game Five.

The Celtics had big performances from White and Pritchard and will look for that again.

They are 35-10 on the road this year -- better than their home record.

New York is just 2-5 over its L7 games played at Madison Square Garden.

The Knicks have been known to fall short in the playoffs so far this decade and we could see it happening again.

We're on the Celtics to stay hot after last game.

AAA Sports

Our selection is on the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday at 9:30pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Golden State did not look too good in Game Four -- now trails three games to one.

That means that the Warriors have to win Game Five. They will not go out without trying, we know that.

They are 9-3 over their L9 games played on the road.

Minnesota is just 20-25 against the spread this season at home.

The Timberwolves are also 3-6 versus the spread over their L6 games played in the month of May.

We're on the Warriors to cover in Game Five.

AAA Sports

Our selection is on the Denver Nuggets to cover the spread against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday at 3:30pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Oklahoma City was really good this season -- best record in the NBA.

The inexperience of the Thunder really showed in Game Three and we think that it could show again here.

The Thunder are just 2-4 straight up and versus the spread over their L6 games against the Nuggets.

Playing in Denver is one of the hardest places to play with the elevation involved.

The Nuggets are one of the top teams in the NBA when playing as an underdog this season (50% win percentage.)

We think that Denver shocks OKC and wins again in Game Four.

AAA Sports

Our selection is on the Cleveland Cavaliers to defeat the Indiana Pacers on Friday at 7:30pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Cleveland lost both the first two games of the second round series but still has faith.

The Cavaliers should get back at least one of their injured stars today -- hopefully all of them (Garland / Mobley / Hunter.)

They are 28-15 against the spread this season when playing on the road.

Indiana is a lot better at home, but this is against the top team in the East. Cleveland won't go down not fighting.

The Pacers are just 1-4 versus the spread over their L5 home games vs Cleveland.

We're on the Cavs today.

They are 57-30-1 against the spread this season, the best of any team in the NBA.

Denver now has the home court advantage that it wanted badly.

The Nuggets got blown out in a few games against Los Angeles in the First Round and now could have the same thing happen to them today.

They are just 42-46-2 versus the spread this year including the playoffs.

We're on OKC in Game Two.

AAA Sports

They are 13-1 over their L14 games when playing as the favorite.

Golden State has failed to cover against the spread in four of its L6 games.

Charlotte is just 1-6 straight up and against the spread over its L7 games this season.

The Nuggets are also 16-8 against opponents from the Eastern Conference on the year.

We like the Houston Rockets to defeat the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday at 8:10pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Houston has had a few days to rest after losing to Utah on Saturday. This is much needed.

The Rockets are 7-2 over their L9 games played against opponents from the Central Division in the Eastern Conference.

They've also covered versus the spread against Milwaukee in five games in a row.

Milwaukee is without Bobby Portis for a while and Giannis (expected to play) has a bit of a calf injury that he's monitoring.

The Bucks have only covered against the spread in two of their L7 games played against opponents from the Western Conference.

They have won four games in a row. But, the Bucks have a 10-17 record versus the spread on the road this year.

Lay the points with Houston. We think that the Rockets bounce back from the Utah loss here tonight

We like the Minnesota Timberwolves to cover the spread against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday at 9:40pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Minnesota is off a loss, but has still got a solid record in the Western Conference.

The Timberwolves have covered the spread in four of their L5 games this season.

They also beat OKC just over a week ago before the All Star Break.

Oklahoma City has been significantly a step below on the road compared to at home.

The Thunder have lost 11 of the L15 games played against Minnesota as well.

We think that the Timberwolves will be able to cover against this large spread at home tonight.

Grab the points.
