There is going to be a semi-rig in the Rockets-Clippers game tonight. It's not a max rig or even a medium rig, but a semi-rig. It's when the NBA scripts the game to favor a certain team because they would prefer that team to win, but won't be upset if the result they want doesn't happen.
The NBA wants this series to go back to LA so the Clippers can win it at home in 6 and get James Harden on TV against the Clippers again. But if it doesn't happen, it won't be too big of a deal, as they just want their hand-picked WCF matchup of Clippers vs. Warriors.
Houston Rockets +2.5
Houston Rockets ML +125
NBA is taking a hands-off approach in the Cavs-Bulls game tonight. As long as it goes 7 games they don't care who wins tonight. The rig opportunity will be there in Game 6.
