NBA

Sunday, April 28

Knicks won last six games with Celtics, by 3-15-19-7-16-14 points; in three of six halves this series, Boston scored 31 or less points. NY won its three games in Boston this year by 3-15-16. Celtics' dilemma is that Knicks have three PGs better than anyone playing for Celtics, who made 16-58 from arc in series, shooting 41.5/37.1/40% from floor. Six of seven series games this year stayed under the total, including all three games in this series. JR Smith is suspended for this game after elbowing Terry in mouth when Smith had ball in Friday's game.

Milwaukee lost 18 of last 24 games; can they even win a game in series? Bucks upset Heat 104-85 at home Dec 29, forcing 20 turnovers (+15), but lost other six meetings by 7-13-11-23-12-13 points- under is 4-1-1 in last six series games. Bucks played better in Games 2-3, making 50% in game 2, leading at half in Game 3, but they're 18-70 from arc so far in series. Miami is 5-3 in last eight games as playoff road favorite; they'll be anxious to get added time off that comes with a sweep. Wade missed 12 of 13 shots last game and Miami still won by 13.

In their franchise history, Lakers are 0-7 in Game 4's when they lost first three games; they lost first three series games by 12-11-31, trailing by 8-8-11 at half. Spurs shot 61.2% last game, after being under 39% in three of first five games vs Lakers. SA is 5-1 vs LA this season, winning by 2-3-12-11-31 points. LA is +10 in FT's tried in six series games this year, but its bench is -157 in series so far. Ginobili is +44 in series. Seven of eight Lakers who played last game were -12 or worse; Artest was only exception at -6, and he was 0-6 from floor in 17 minutes. Spurs are going to be gung-ho to get sweep and gets time off before next series.

Golden State shot 64.6/52.5% from floor last two games, winning with smaller lineup as Lee is out for year; they're 22-45 behind arc last two games, overcoming 66-54 halftime deficit last game- Curry was +13 and W's were -11 in 10 minutes he was off floor. Nuggets are 1-2 in Oakland this year, with games decided by total of nine points. Denver got to the foul line 92 times first three games, compared to 58 for Golden State, but Nuggets are just 19-60 behind arc so far in series. Over is 13-12-1 so far in playoffs, 8-5 in Western Conference. Weird to see Harrison Barnes playing better in NBA than he did at North Carolina.

Sunday

Reading (20th, 24) v QPR (19th, 24) +155 +250 +188
Previous meeting: QPR 1, Reading 1, November 4

* Both teams are seven points away from 18th-place Wigan. A draw will do neither team good if they are to make it out of the relegation zone.

* Chelsea is in a battle with Arsenal and Tottenham for the third and fourth position in the table, and the Champions League qualification berths that go with them. Chelsea is one point up on Spurs, with a meeting at Tottenham on May 8. Chelsea is also the only English team remaining in European competition, after playing Basel in Switzerland in the Europa League on Thursday.

* Swansea is safely in mid-table and faces no fear of being relegated or challenging for the European places.

* Chelsea is undefeated at home in the league in its past six (5-1-0), outscoring the opposition 13-5.
