1* Clev Cavs +2.5 (1.92). 1 to win .92.
...Should be a good bounceback spot.
...Banchero went crazy last game. Should be a one-off.

1* LA LAKERS (gm 4) +3.5 (1.95). 1 to win .95.
...I know about the 11-game losing streak to Denver.
...Have to think they want to save face.
...Of course, the NBA would love to broadcast one more Laker game.
...Lastly, Gordon had a huge game last out. Couldn't have played better.

Will post a few notes on the OKC/NO game. I plan to pass this game:

1) Valancunias is twice as thick as Holmgren. Valancunias likely to have a big game.
2) OKC is so young. This 2-0 game looks like a natural hurdle.
3) I think NO can play well today. My one issue = the # just isn't good enuf.
...OKC was -1 @NO on 3/26, and that was WITH Zion.

Really can't get interested here unless I see +2.5.

Day: 1-2.

...Don't know WTF happened to the Cavs in the 2h.
...Very strange series. Cavs looked so poised in 1st two games.
...You sometimes see Homer series. But there has to be more to it than that.

2* Milw Bucks (gm 4) +10 (1.92). 2 to win 1.84.

...We can get the full +10. Might even look at the adjusted #.
...Been a long time since Indiana has won a playoff series. So, I don't expect this to come easy.
...Lillard has yet to see a shot he didn't like this season. I don't mind him missing at all.
...Bucks get younger. Sharp-shooter AJ Green should get some of Lillard's minutes.
...I'm on board with the over-adjusted Dog line. Displacing an over-rated name player.

2* NY Knicks (gm4) +5.5 (1.92). 2 to win 1.84.
...Good line value, as opinion swings on this series.
...PHI off the old 0-2 Homer win. Should be tighter here.
...Embiid looks disabled in Gm2. He comes off an amazing gm3 performance. Played 41min, most since returning from injury.
...Sixers not getting much from their bench, really only Batum. Payne contributed a one-off game last out.
...PHI shot the lights out last game. Should return to normalcy, especially Embiid (who was hitting these deep 3's).
...Knicks are blocking shots with Hartenstein and a more healthy Mitchell Robinson. Should inhibit PHI FG% today.
...Achiuwa back last game. I expect him to get more minutes today.
