The Western Conference Semifinals showdown between the Oklahoma City
Thunder and the San Antonio Spurs continues this Tuesday night at the
AT&T Center with Game 5 of what has become a best-of-three affair. BetAnySports
has opened the Spurs as 6.5-point home favorites in the 8 p.m. (ET) tip
on TNT and the total for the game has been set at 199.5. The total has
held steady but the point spread has creeped up to to the Spurs -7.



The Thunder were able to ties this series at two games apiece with a
huge fourth quarter effort in Sunday’s 111-97 win in Game 4 at home as
slight two-point favorites. The total in that game went OVER 199. This
followed a tough four-point loss at home in Game 3 as 2.5-point
underdogs on BetAnySports’ closing betting line. The total stayed UNDER 200 in that contest, but it has gone OVER in five of their last seven games.



Kevin Durant led the charge in Sunday’s win and after outscoring the
Spurs on his own in the final quarter of that game he ended the day with
a game-high 41 points. Durant has been Oklahoma City’s leading scorer
both in the regular season (28.2 points) and through nine postseason
games with an average 26.8 points. Russell Westbrook has been a close
second with 24.2 points per game and the team as a whole is averaging
106.3 points in the playoffs.



San Antonio bounced back from a stunning 98-97 loss at home in Game 2 as
a 7.5-point favorite by covering on the road in Game 3. It is now 5-3
against the spread in eight postseason contests with the total staying
UNDER in five of those games. The Spurs’ loss at home in Game 2 was just
their second in 45 games at the AT&T Center this season. They come
into this contest with a profitable 26-19 record ATS on their home
court.



Tony Parker turned back the clock a bit in Sunday’s loss with a
team-high 22 points, but it has been the combination of LaMarcus
Aldridge and Kawhi Leonard that has done the most damage in the
postseason with each player averaging just over 22 points a game. This
was the first time the Spurs allowed more than 100 points in these
playoffs and they are averaging 103.8 points a game.



The back and forth nature of this series points in the direction of San
Antonio for Tuesday night and I would have to agree. Lay the 6.5 points
on BetAnySports’ current betting line and take the Spurs to cover at home.

The fans at Moda Center will be ready for another high scoring game
between the Golden State Warriors and the Portland Trail Blazers when
they take their seats on Monday. Steph Curry, who is said to be the
2015-16 league MVP, is doubtful for the matchup but that shouldn't stop
the talent laden Warriors from playing at a high caliber against the
Trail Blazers.



Oddsmakers currently have the Warriors listed as 5½-point favorites versus the Trail Blazers, while the game's total is sitting at 214.



The Trail Blazers were a 120-108 winner in their most recent outing at
home against the Warriors. They covered the +3-point spread as
underdogs, while the total score (228) made winners of OVER bettors.



Golden State was a 120-108 loser in its last match on the road against
the Trail Blazers. They failed to cover the -3-point spread as
favorites, while the total score of 228 sent OVER bettors to the payout
window.



Golden State:

Team record: 79-11 SU,49-38-3 ATS

Golden State is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games

Golden State is 10-2 SU in its last 12 games

The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Golden State's last 6 games



Portland:

Team record: 49-42 SU,48-43 ATS

Portland is 4-8 ATS in its last 12 games

Portland is 5-2 SU in its last 7 games

The Toronto Raptors and the Miami Heat will square off in what should be
another close battle at AmericanAirlines Arena. The first 3 games of
this series have been knock-down drag-outs and there is no reason to
think Game #4 will any different. As usual in games like this it will
probably come down to free throws, turnovers and defensive rebounding.



Oddsmakers currently have the Heat listed as 5½-point favorites versus the Raptors, while the game's total is sitting at 192.



Miami was a 95-91 loser in its last match at home against the Raptors.
They failed to cover the -5.5-point spread as favorites, while the total
score of 186 sent PUSH bettors to the payout window.



Last time out for Toronto, they were a 95-91 winner as they battled the
Heat on the road. The Raptors covered in the match as a +5.5-point
underdog, while 186 combined points moved the game PUSH for totals
bettors.



Toronto:

Team record: 62-30 SU,47-44-1 ATS

Toronto is 1-6 ATS in its last 7 games

Toronto is 10-4 SU in its last 14 games

The Oklahoma City Thunder aren't dead yet. They evened their Western
Conference semifinal with the San Antonio Spurs at 1-1 Monday night,
giving Oklahoma City home-court advantage for the rest of the series –
starting with Game 3 Friday night at the Chesapeake Energy Arena.
Tip-off is at 9:30 PM ET on ESPN. The Spurs are a 2.5 point favorite
Against the Spread and the total is sitting at 200.5.

After getting blown out in Game 1, the Thunder took advantage of some
uncharacteristically poor shooting by San Antonio in Game 2. Then OKC
withstood a late run by the Spurs to win 98-97 as 8.5-point road dogs on
the closing line, up from +7.5 at the open. Despite the victory,
Oklahoma City remains a +230 underdog to win this series and advance to
the Western Final.





Both teams have their full rosters active for Game 3. Up to this point,
the star of the show has been LaMarcus Aldridge, who scored 79 points
for San Antonio over the first two games, and even sank both his 3-point
attempts – the only two he's made all year after shooting 0-for-16
during the regular season. Kevin Durant (44 points for Oklahoma City)
and Russell Westbrook (43 points) have combined to shoot 2-of-13 from
long range for the Thunder.

The Miami Heat and the Toronto Raptors are both ready for the Eastern
Conference semi-finals on Tuesday when they meet at Air Canada Centre.
Both had hard fought victories in round one of the 2016 NBA Playoffs.
The Raptors were taken to 7 games by the Pacers and the Heat were taken
to task by the Hornets. Miami got to rest some of their starters as they
routed the Charlotte while Toronto had a close one against a feisty
Indiana team.



Oddsmakers currently have the Raptors listed as 4½-point favorites versus the Heat, while the game's total is sitting at 191.



Toronto won its last outing, a 89-84 result against the Pacers on May
01. The Raptors failed to cover in that game as a -6-point favorite,
while the 173 combined points took the game UNDER the total.



Miami was a 106-73 winner in its last match at home against the Hornets.
They covered the -6-point spread as favorites, while the total score of
179 sent UNDER bettors to the payout window.



Miami:

Team record: 52-37 SU,47-41-1 ATS

The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Miami's last 5 games

Miami is 2-8 ATS in its last 10 games on the road

The Portland Trail Blazers tee-off against the Golden State Warriors
this Tuesday night at Oracle Arena in Game 2 of this best-of-seven
matchup in the Western Conference Semifinals. BetAnySports
has listed the Warriors as 10-point home favorites and the total for
the game has been set at 213.5. Bettors have bet the game down to where
the Warriors are now a 9.5 point favorite and the total is down to a
solid 213. Tip-off is slated for 10:30 p.m. (ET) and the game will be
broadcast nationally on TNT.



Portland got past the heavily depleted Los Angeles Clippers in six games
to advance to this round, but a painfully slow start in Game 1 of this
series led to a 118-106 loss as a 9.5-point road underdog on BetAnySports’ closing line.
The Trail Blazers are now just 3-10 against the spread in their last 10
games. The total in that game went OVER the 210.5-point line and it has
gone OVER in their last three contests.



Damian Lillard has been the team’s leading scorer all season long with
an average of 25.1 points per game. Despite the fact that he scored 30
points in a losing effort in Game 1, he is going to have to do a much
better job shooting the ball after going just 8-for 26 from the field.
Portland was the sixth-highest scoring team in the league during the
regular season with 105.1 PPG, but it fell to 20th in points allowed (104.3).



Golden State continues to press-on without the help of Stephen Curry.
While there is a possibility that the league’s MVP could return to the
lineup in Game 3 of this series, his team continues to light-up the
scoreboard without him. The Warriors have scored 114 points or more in
each of their last three games and Klay Thompson lit things up this past
Sunday with a game-high 37 points. Draymond Green has also helped to
fill the void with 14.8 points and 10.2 rebounds in the postseason.



Curry missed two games of the Warriors’ opening playoff series against
Houston with an ankle injury and another game with an ailing knee, but
Golden State was still able to get past the Rockets in just five games.
It is now 7-1 both SU and ATS in its last eight outings and while the
total did go OVER in Game 1 of this series it had stayed UNDER BetAnySports’ closing line in six of its previous eight outings.



The Warriors continue to prove that they can win big even with Curry out
of the lineup and I like their chances to keep things rolling at home
this Tuesday night with another big win both SU and ATS.

They were down by double-digits through most of Game 5, but the Toronto
Raptors dominated the fourth quarter to win 102-99 Tuesday night over
the Indiana Pacers. The Pacers still managed to cash in as 7-point road
dogs, but they'll be behind the 8-ball Friday night when they host
Toronto in Game 6, game time to be determined. Oddsmakers have the
Pacers as 1.5 point favorites and the total is at 194.

This Eastern Conference quarterfinal has seen each team make multiple
adjustments to gain an advantage over the other. On Tuesday, the Raptors
benched Luis Scola and started Patrick Patterson at power forward; it
wasn't effective, as Patterson posted a minus-20 after struggling at
both ends. However, Indiana committed 14 turnovers to Toronto's seven,
handing the game and the series back to the Raptors.



Game 5 also saw the two teams go over the closing total of 194 points,
up from 192 at the open. The under was 4-0 in this series and 24-10 in
the playoffs going into Tuesday's action. Paul George helped change that
with 39 points for Indiana, while Toronto's DeMar Derozan finally broke
out of his shooting slump, scoring 34 points on 10-of-22 from the floor
and 12-of-13 from the free-throw line.

The Houston Rockets and the Golden State Warriors will be out to win
with different objectives on Wednesday when they meet at Oracle Arena.
Warriors will be trying to win a get healthy with Curry out at least the

game series without him.

The Indiana Pacers head back on the road this Tuesday night to the Air
Canada Centre for Game 5 of their best-of-seven opening round playoff
series against the Toronto Raptors. The series is tied at two games
apiece and BetAnySports
has opened the Raptors as seven-point home favorites with the total set
at 192. Tip-off is slated for 6 p.m. and the game will be broadcast
nationally on TNT.



The Pacers have won the first and last game in this series as underdogs
in all four contests. They covered as eight-point underdogs in a huge
100-90 road win in Game 1 and this past Saturday they evened this series
up with a solid 100-83 victory as one-point underdogs at home. The
total has stayed UNDER in all four games and it has now stayed UNDER
BetAnySports’ closing line in Indiana’s last six outings.



The trio of George Hill, Ian Mahinmi and Paul George were largely
responsible for the crucial win in Game 4. Hill and Mahinmi each scored
22 points and George added 19 points to the winning cause. George has
been the team’s leading scorer in this series with 26.3 points per game
with Indiana averaging 93 PPG as a team. The Pacers are shooting 42.7
percent from the field and 34.2 percent from three-point range.



Before Saturday’s loss it appeared that Toronto was going to take
control of this series as the No. 2 seed in the East. After bouncing
back from the loss in the opener with a 98-87 win in Game 2 as
eight-point home favorites, the Raptors throttled Indiana 101-85 as
one-point road favorites in Game 3. The total has stayed UNDER in nine
of their last 12 games.



As goes the backcourt of Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan goes Toronto. In
Game 3, they each scored 21 points while adding six rebounds and 11
assists. In this past Saturday’s loss, they combined for 20 points while
going a collective 8-for-27 from the floor. Lowry leads the team in
scoring in this series with 15.5 PPG, but he is shooting 32.2 percent
from the field. DeRozan was the Raptors’ leading scorer in the regular
season (23.5 points), but this average has plummeted to just 13.3 points
over the course of his last four games.



Indiana has been able to keep things interesting as a heavy series
underdog, but I think that this is about to change starting Tuesday
night. Look for Toronto to assert itself as the clear favorite with a SU
win that covers BetAnySports’ seven-point betting spread.

Last year, the Houston Rockets lost the first two games of their playoff
series against the Golden State Warriors. After the Rockets got home,
their city was hit by flooding. The script has changed slightly for
Thursday's Game 3 (9:30 PM ET, TNT) at the Toyota Center; the floods
have already arrived, leaving large sections of town underwater.
Oddsmakers have Golden State as a 5.5 point favorite and the total is at
215.5.

This also isn't the same Houston team that earned the No. 2 seed in the
Western Conference last year. The Rockets (41-41 SU, 37-45 ATS) barely
squeaked into the playoffs, plagued by dissension, injuries and a
depleted bench after the failed trade for point guard Ty Lawson. Houston
didn't have much of a prayer in either of the first two games at Oracle
Arena – but at least the Rox earned a push Monday night as 9-point road
dogs.



That's because Stephen Curry missed Game 2 for the Warriors (73-9 SU,
45-35-2 ATS) with discomfort in his ankle and foot. Curry hopes to play
in Game 3, but he was also expecting to suit up on Monday after hurting
himself in the opener. Shaun Livingston started in Curry's place and
scored 16 points on 7-of-9 shooting.
