Reason For Pick:
I'm playing on CLEVELAND. I won with Atlanta yesterday, a team which had narrowly "escaped" with a win on its home floor in Game 1. Having survived that "close call," the Hawks were all business and won Game 2 with relative ease. I see this one setting up much the same way. The Pistons had their chance in Game 1 but squandered it. I expect that result to serve as a "wake up call" for the Cavs. As the Hawks did yesterday, I look for the Cavs to take care of business in Game 2. The Pistons are new to this, as the team hasn't been to the playoffs in some time. They easily could be caught thinking about "what could have been." The Cavs, on the other hand, are playoff veterans and know there's no time for any "reflecting." They're 5-3 ATS (7-1 SU) their last eight, when leading in a playoff series and I look for them to improve on those stats in convincing fashion here. 10* Personal FavoriteComment

Reason For Pick:
I'm playing on Charlotte and Miami to finish UNDER the total. While Game 1 was high-scoring, I'm expecting the defense to take center stage in Game 2. Admittedly, the Hornets were horrible defensively in the opener. That's not them though and I concur with coach Steve Clifford when he says that he expects a much better defensive effort tonight. When asked about his defense, Clifford responded with the following: "We've got to try harder, for one. We have to have more readiness to play .... We were the ninth-best defensive team in the NBA (in the 2015-16 regular season) .... I think we'll bounce back well. We've been resilient all year. I think we have prideful guys. They want to play better and I think we will." Charlotte has seen the UNDER go 10-7 after allowing 105 or more points while Miami has seen the UNDER go 15-12 after scoring 105 or more. (While a combined 25-19 record may not sound like much, its still a respectable 57%.) Even with the Game 1 result, the Heat have still seen the UNDER go 24-18 here on the season and 26-16 when they've faced a team with a winning record. I expect those stats to improve tonight. 10*Comment

#531 2* Portland +8.5 La Clippers 10:35 TNT
In the Clippers 20 point win in game #1 LA shot 53.8% while Portland shot 39.8%. The Trailblazers are a very resilient teams and after their last 16 loses they have gone 12-4 ATS and three of the ATS losses where outright wins and they were a sizable favorite. That means in their last 16 games off a loss they have only lost and failed to cover once. Another reason to expect a bounce back is that the Clippers did something they’ve rarely done which is pressure their opponent at the half court line which Portland will be ready for tonight. Lastly the Clippers are second last in the league in FT% which wasn’t a factor in a 20 point final but with the game closer it sure will be.Comment
