7-Unit Play. Take 'Over' 202.0 Brooklyn at Atlanta (7 p.m., Wednesday, April 22)
4-Unit Play. Take #727 Brooklyn (+10) over Atlanta (7:00 p.m., Wednesday, April 22)

2-Unit Play. Take 'Over' 189.0 Portland at Memphis (8 p.m., Wednesday, April 22)
1-Unit Play. Take #729 Portland (+6.5) over Memphis (8 p.m., Wednesday, April 22)
4-Unit Play #730 Take Memphis -6.5 over Portland (8 p.m. EST, Wednesday) Lots of reasons we like the Grizzlies again here in Game 2 after we won with them in Game 1. The Grizzlies should be fully healthy tonight while the Blazers have a lot of injuries. That is already factored into the line but we did expect Memphis to be over 7 on the line here tonight so there is value. But overall we have just liked the way the Grizzlies have been playing much better than the Blazers down the stretch. Portland has some bad karma right now with the whole Spanish sign situation and the Grizzlies should be extra fired up here at home tonight. Portland has now lost five straight games and they are not looking good right now. We don’t see any reason why this won’t be another comfortable Memphis win.
8-Unit NBA Playoffs Game of the Year #732 Take LA Clippers -2 over San Antonio (10:30 p.m. EST, Wednesday) We were on the Clippers big in Game 1 and we like them here as well. It’s very telling that we are getting a similar line here to Game 1 and we thought the Spurs might be a slight favorite in this one since they are the public team. The bookies seem to be begging for Spurs money here, and it’s always a good idea to side with the sportsbooks. Los Angeles just matches up real well with the Spurs. They have now won and covered three straight against them with two coming in blowout fashion, including a 20-point win in San Antonio. We think the Clippers starters are as good as any starting 5 in the league and with a couple days off between these games Doc Rivers can play the starters as long as he wants here as they are fresh and that will minimize the damage that the bench could provide. While we don’t think this will be a blowout we do expect the Clippers to win this one fairly easily. This is the hottest team in the NBA right now. The Spurs were in that conversation but that season-ending loss to the Pelicans that forced them into this series really stalled their momentum and now with that blowout Game 1 loss it is gone. But the Clippers know they can’t afford a loss here and this team seems really dialed in right now and we expect they will get the job done here tonight at Staples Center.
7-Unit Play. Take #730 Memphis (-6) over Portland (9 p.m., Wednesday, April 22) I am going with the home team again in this one. I have an 8-Unit Play on the Grizzlies to win this series. And after they controlled Game 1 I think they are going to control Game 2. This team is too tough at home and the Blazers are too banged up to beat them. Memphis just has too much on the inside. This team is better than Portland and has beaten them 10 of the last 11 times. Memphis was one of the best teams in the West all season long and they are still undervalued and underrated. Everyone is talking about the Warriors and Rockets. But Memphis is a real threat out of the West. I don’t see this series going more than four or five games. The Grizzlies are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 first round games and the Blazers are just 7-19 ATS in their last 26 first round games. Portland is 0-5 ATS in its last five games and 0-5 ATS on the road.
