Friday's NBA Playoffs Betting Preview and Odds

The opening round of the 2018 NBA Playoffs continues Friday night with three Game 3s as the series' shift to the home court of the lower seeds.

Cleveland Cavaliers at Indiana Pacers (PK, 209)

The Cleveland Cavaliers asked LeBron James to come out aggressive in Game 2 and lead them to victory over the Indiana Pacers, and he delivered. James will try to get more help and give the Cavaliers the upper hand when the first-round Eastern Conference series shifts to Indiana for Game 3 on Friday tied at one win apiece.

James scored the team's first 16 points to set the tone and finished with 46 as Cleveland barely hung up for a 100-97 victory in Game 2 on Wednesday. "Coach (Tyronn) Lue called the first play for me and it went down, so we went back to it and I was able to get another one," James told reporters. "I just felt like I was in a really good rhythm, so just tried to see how long I could stay in that zone and just try to make a mark on the game early on, especially after the way we started in Game 1." The Pacers dominated the first quarter en route to a Game 1 victory and remain confident heading home despite the tight loss in Game 2. "We really wanted to go home 2-0 but we got one on the road," Indiana center Myles Turner told reporters. "We did our jobs. I can't wait to be back in front of the Indy fans. I hope these guys are ready, I know they are."

TV: 7 p.m. ET, ESPN, FS Ohio (Cleveland), FS Indiana

SERIES PRICE (PER PINNACLE):



BETTING ACTION AND LINE MOVES: The Pacers opened as 2-point home favorites but as of Thursday night that line has been bet down to a Pick 'Em - this is despite 55 percent of the early Covers Consensus action on Indiana. The total hit betting boards at 208.5 and is up slightly to 209.

ABOUT THE CAVALIERS (51-33 SU, 32-51-1 ATS, 39-43-2 O/U): Cleveland was embarrassed 98-80 in Game 1 and decided to make a lineup change for Game 2, inserting veterans Kyle Korver and JR Smith into the starting lineup in place of Jeff Green and Rodney Hood. Korver went 4-of-8 from 3-point range to help space the floor and drew praise from his coach. "(Korver) does all the little things it takes to win," Lue told reporters. "If you want to win a championship, you have to do all the little things. Outside of his great shooting, he was just doing all the little things and making the extra efforts, being in the right place defensively."

ABOUT THE PACERS (49-35 SU, 49-35 ATS, 32-51-1 O/U): Indiana All-Star guard Victor Oladipo scored a game-high 32 points in Game 1 but was limited to 22 on 9-of-18 shooting while battling foul trouble in Game 2. "Obviously, we're upset about the loss," Oladipo told reporters. "Just like the first game, it was only one game and this was only one game. We felt as though we had a chance to tie it, a chance to win and we feel confident going home." The Pacers shot 52.6 percent from the floor in Game 2 but struggled to 6-of-22 from 3-point range and committed 17 turnovers.

INJURY REPORT:

Cavaliers - C K. Love (Probable, Thumb).

Pacers - No injuries to report.

MATCHUP CHART:



TRENDS:

* Cavaliers are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up win.
* Pacers are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 Conference Quarterfinals games.
* Under is 8-3 in Cavaliers' last 11 overall.
* Under is 13-2-1 in Pacers' last 16 vs. NBA Central.
* Underdog is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings.




Toronto Raptors at Washington Wizards (-2, 218)

The Toronto Raptors showed off the depth of their roster in Game 1, but in Game 2 it was time for a star to shine. The Raptors will try to build off DeMar DeRozan's big game and take a commanding 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven first-round Eastern Conference series when they visit the Washington Wizards for Game 3 on Friday.

DeRozan managed 17 points on 6-of-17 shooting in a 114-106 victory in Game 1 but exploded for 37 on 14-of-23 in a 130-119 triumph in Game 2. "I just let the game come to me. I go based off that," DeRozan told reporters. "These days, it's not like I have to have the mindset to go out there and I've got to score 30, 40 points. ... I went out there to be aggressive. With my aggressiveness came 37 points." The Wizards fell behind early in Game 1 and were down 44-27 at the end of the first quarter in Game 2, and getting off to stronger starts is the team's goal. "We need a better start," Washington coach Scott Brooks told reporters. "All five guys need to lock in defensively. They've gotten free for a lot of jump shots, and give them credit, they made them. ... But we've got to be a little better. We've got to have a better start. It's not the only thing, but we've got to start there and then go from there."

TV: 8 p.m. ET, ESPN2, TSN 1/4/5 (Toronto), NBCS Washington

SERIES PRICE (PER PINNACLE):



BETTING ACTION AND LINE MOVES: Washington opened as 1-point favorites and there has been some reverse line movement as 57 percent of the Covers Consensus selections are on the Raptors but the spread has moved up to -2. The total hit betting boards at 218 and has yet to move.

ABOUT THE RAPTORS (61-23 SU, 45-38-1 ATS, 43-40-1 O/U): DeRozan wasn't alone in Toronto's solid Game 2 performance, and center Jonas Valanciunas outplayed his counterparts on Washington while collecting 19 points and 14 rebounds. "We're strong as a team, we're not strong as individual players,” Valanciunas told reporters. "We did it as a team. We were great defending, helping each other, more than our own strengths. I think this is team sport and when you play it together, support each other, help each other, it’s fun. It gives you extra confidence to enjoy the game." All-Star point guard Kyle Lowry added a double-double as well with 13 points and 12 assists.

ABOUT THE WIZARDS (43-41 SU, 37-46-1 ATS, 38-44-2 O/U): All-Star guard Bradley Beal is off to a slow start offensively in the series and was held to nine points on 3-of-11 shooting in Game 2, but defense was his main concern after the loss. "I think we're shooting ourselves in the foot coming out to slow starts, allowing guys to get open 3's, allowing guys to get those shots, allowing guys to get layups," Beal told reporters. "You can't allow a team to get both, it has to be one or the other. You can't give up 3's and layups, or you'll be down 20 in the first quarter like we were. We've just got to go back to the drawing board." Washington is allowing the Raptors to shoot 52.4 percent from the floor in the series.

INJURY REPORT:

Raptors - PG F. VanVleet (Questionable, Shoulder).

Wizards - SG J. Meeks (Out For Season, Suspension).

MATCHUP CHART:



TRENDS:

* Raptors are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games.
* Wizards are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 Conference Quarterfinals games.
* Over is 4-0 in Raptors' last 4 vs. NBA Southeast.
* Over is 8-2-1 in Wizards' last 11 Conference Quarterfinals games.
* Raptors are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Washington.




Boston Celtics at Milwaukee Bucks (-6, 203)

Milwaukee Bucks guard Eric Bledsoe says he doesn't know who Terry Rozier is, so it might be time for him to check the scouting report. Rozier fueled Boston to victories in the first two games of the Eastern Conference first-round series and the Celtics look to take a 3-0 lead when the series moves to Milwaukee on Friday.

The unsung Rozier is in the staring lineup due to Kyrie Irving's season-ending knee injury and he torched the Bucks for 23 points in each of the first two games and has yet to commit a turnover. Meanwhile, Bledsoe is averaging just 10.5 points on 9-of-25 shooting and making three turnovers per game and wasn't thrilled when asked about Rozier after a 120-106 loss in Game 2, saying "I don't even know who the (expletive) that is." Celtics coach Brad Stevens took the high road Wednesday when asked about the comment by saying, "I mean, I heard that. Our team is just focused on Game 3." Milwaukee lost in the first round in its past seven postseason appearances and it last prevailed in 2001, when it reached the Eastern Conference finals before losing to the Philadelphia 76ers.

TV: 9:30 p.m. ET, ESPN, NBCS Boston, FS Wisconsin (Milwaukee)

SERIES PRICE (PER PINNACLE):



BETTING ACTION AND LINE MOVES: The Bucks opened as 6.5-point home favorites and that pointspread is down slightly to -6. 69 percent of early consensus action is on the underdog Bruins. The total hit betting boards at 202.5 and has been nudged up to 203.

ABOUT THE CELTICS (57-27 SU, 52-30-2 ATS, 45-38-1 O/U): Second-year shooting guard Jaylen Brown is also lighting up the Bucks as he made five 3-pointers while scoring 30 points in Game 2 and is averaging 25 in the series. "Ultimately, we just want to win games, so that’s the only thing that we are concerned with," Brown told reporters after his big outing. "We are confident as ever. Teams have been writing us off all year and we just keep proving people wrong, so that’s what we’re going to do." Power forwards Al Horford and Marcus Morris are also off to strong starts in the series with Horford averaging 20 points and 8.5 rebounds and Morris coming off the bench to average 19.5 points and six boards.

ABOUT THE BUCKS (44-40 SU, 34-45-5 ATS, 48-35-1 O/U): Forwards Giannis Antetokounmpo (32.5 points, 11 rebounds, 7.5 assists) and Khris Middleton (28 points, six rebounds) have been superb in the series but haven't received much help from the supporting cast. "We got to play better," Antetokounmpo said. "We got to play with more effort. I think as a team we didn't show up (Tuesday). Hopefully we can go back home and protect our home and play better and get those two wins." Second-year guard Malcolm Brogdon is averaging 13 points in the series but played just 19 minutes in Game 2 despite being 5-of-7 shooting while scoring 10 points.

INJURY REPORT:

Celtics - PG M. Smart (Late April, Thumb), PG K. Irving (Out For Season, Knee), PF D. Theis (Out For Season, Knee), SF G. Hayward (Out For Season, Ankle).

Bucks - No injuries to report.

MATCHUP CHART:



TRENDS:

* Celtics are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 Conference Quarterfinals games.
* Bucks are 3-12-1 ATS in their last 16 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.
* Over is 6-0 in Celtics' last 6 overall.
* Over is 11-1 in Bucks' last 12 vs. Eastern Conference.
* Celtics are 7-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings in Milwaukee.

Friday's NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs Betting Preview and Odds

The Stanley Cup Playoffs continue Friday with three Game 5's - the Penguins, Jets, and Predators all lead their series' 3-1 and will all look to close out on home ice.

Philadelphia Flyers at Pittsburgh Penguins (-250, 6)

Pens lead series 3-1.

The Pittsburgh Penguins technically were the road team in their last two contests, however the two-time reigning Stanley Cup champions made themselves at home in Philadelphia to push the Flyers to the brink of elimination in their Eastern Conference first-round series. Captain Sidney Crosby and company look to provide the final shove in Friday's Game 5 when the Keystone State rivals reconvene in Pittsburgh.

ABOUT THE FLYERS (43-29-7-7, 44-38 O/U): The flustered Flyers could receive a boost with the potential return of Selke Trophy finalist Sean Couturier, who sat out Game 4 with a lower-body injury sustained after he collided with teammate Radko Gudas in Tuesday's practice. Rookie Nolan Patrick stepped up in place of Couturier and registered a team-leading six shots on goal, but the manufactured line of Patrick, captain Claude Giroux and Jakub Voracek finished a combined minus-8 in Game 4.

ABOUT THE PENGUINS (50-30-4-2, 48-34 O/U): Crosby, fellow former Hart Trophy winner Evgeni Malkin and Phil Kessel each scored and set up a goal as Pittsburgh reached the five-goal total for the second straight contest and seventh time in eight games versus Philadelphia in Wednesday's 5-0 romp at Wells Fargo Center. Matt Murray and Jake Guentzel are no strangers to turning it up a notch in the postseason, with the former turning aside 26 shots to increase his save percentage to a stellar .948 following his second shutout of the series. Guentzel notched a pair of assists on Wednesday to boost his point total to seven (one goal, six assists) this postseason -- this after leading the NHL with 13 goals in last year's playoffs.

SERIES PRICE (PER SPORTS INTERACTION):



LINE HISTORY: The Penguins opened as big -235 moneyline favorites and that number was not big enough for bettors as 80 percent of early consensus wagers were on the Pens and the line was bumped up to -250. The total hit betting boards at 6 and has not moved.

INJURY REPORT:

Flyers - C Sean Couturier (Questionable, Lower Body).

Penguins - RW Patric Hornqvist (Out, Upper Body), RW Carter Rowney (Out Indefinitely, Upper Body).

MATCHUP CHART:



TRENDS:

* Flyers are 3-8 in their last 11 road games.
* Penguins are 10-2 in their last 12 Conference Quarterfinals games.
* Over is 10-2-2 in Flyers last 14 vs. Eastern Conference.
* Over is 4-1-2 in Penguins last 7 Conference Quarterfinals games.
* Flyers are 1-7 in the last 8 meetings.




Minnesota Wild at Winnipeg Jets (-225, 5.5)

Jets lead series 3-1.

The Winnipeg Jets look to add to a season full of firsts when they host the Minnesota Wild in Friday’s Game 5 of their first-round playoff series, potentially just 60 minutes away from winning a postseason series for the first time in franchise history. The key for the Jets, who were flawless in the opening two contests at home before an ugly outing in a Game 3 loss, is to show the form they displayed in a 2-0 road triumph in Game 4 on Tuesday that put Winnipeg on the verge of the second round.

Both teams will be missing key cogs Friday, as Winnipeg defenseman Josh Morrissey is suspended for Game 5 after an ugly cross check on Minnesota’s Eric Staal, and the Wild are without Zach Parise - who scored in each of the first three games but suffered a fractured sternum late in Game 3.

ABOUT THE WILD (46-29-8-3, 42-40 O/U): The odds are stacked higher for Minnesota with the injury to Parise - who closed the regular season with 12 goals in his final 18 games - and defenseman Ryan Suter, arguably the Wild’s top blueliner who fractured his ankle before the playoff started. The series would be more lopsided without the outstanding play of Dubnyk, who has saved 132 of 142 shots for a .930 save percentage and has kept the Wild within 1-0 entering the third period in each of Minnesota’s losses.

ABOUT THE JETS (55-21-8-2, 42-42 O/U): Winnipeg features one of the top offenses in the NHL, and five players have three points or more in the series - led by forward Patrik Laine’s four points (two goals) and three apiece from Scheifele, injured defenseman Tyler Myers, Wheeler and defenseman Dustin Byfuglien. Goaltender Connor Hellebuyck responded to getting pulled after two periods in Game 3 with a masterpiece in Game 4, making 30 saves for his first career postseason shutout.

SERIES PRICE (PER SPORTS INTERACTION):



LINE HISTORY: The Jets opened as big -200 favorites and that number has been bumped up to -225. 71 percent of early Covers Consensus betting action is on the favorite Jets. The total hit betting boards at 5.5 and has yet to move.

INJURY REPORT:

Wild - LW Zach Parise (Mid June, Sternum), D Ryan Suter (Out For Season, Ankle), C Luke Kunin (Out For Season, Knee).

Jets - D Tyler Myers (Questionable, Lower Body), C Mathieu Perreault (Questionable, Shoulder), D Toby Enstrom (Questionable, Lower Body), LW Matt Hendricks (Questionable, Lower Body), D Josh Morrissey (Elig Sun, Suspension), D Dmitry Kulikov (Late April, Back).

MATCHUP CHART:



TRENDS:

* Wild are 1-6 in their last 7 road games.
* Jets are 9-1 in their last 10 vs. a team with a winning record.
* Under is 5-1 in Wild last 6 after allowing 2 goals or less in their previous game.
* Under is 5-1 in Jets last 6 overall.
* Wild are 0-5 in the last 5 meetings in Winnipeg.




Colorado Avalanche at Nashville Predators (-350, 6)

Preds lead series 3-1.

The Nashville Predators have embraced the sweet sounds of Music City to the tune of winning 15 of their last 17 postseason home games, including the first two of their Western Conference first-round series against the Colorado Avalanche. The Predators aim to dance into the conference semifinals should they emerged victorious in Friday's Game 5 at Bridgestone Arena.

ABOUT THE AVALANCHE (44-33-8-1, 45-33 O/U): Andrew Hammond has been confirmed to start in Game 5 after fellow goaltender Jonathan Bernier sustained a lower-body while making his eighth straight start contest in place of Semyon Varlamov, who is nursing a knee injury. Captain Gabriel Landeskog could aid Hammond with his continued offense, as the 25-year-old Swede has scored a goal in three straight contests to boost his point total to nine (four goals, five assists) in his last five games.

ABOUT THE PREDATORS (56-19-4-7, 44-41 O/U): Filip Forsberg has been instrumental in Nashville's success with five points (three goals, two assists) in the series, including a highlight-reel goal and an assist in Wednesday's 3-2 win in Denver. The Predators return home with plenty of history on their side - notably 13 wins in their last 14 encounters with the Avalanche. Nashville will aim to close out the series without forward Ryan Hartman, who was suspended one game by the NHL on Thursday for an illegal check to the head of Colorado's Carl Soderberg at 4:42 of the third period. The 23-year-old Hartman likely will be replaced on the fourth line by rookie Eeli Tolvanen, 18, who has yet to record a point in three regular-season games since being selected with the 30th overall pick in the 2017 NHL Draft.

SERIES PRICE (PER SPORTS INTERACTION):



LINE HISTORY: The Predators opened as -290 favorites and heavy action on the home team has push the moneyline up to -350. 82 percent of consensus users are siding with the Predators. The total hit betting boards at 6 and has yet to move.

INJURY REPORT:

Avalanche - D Samuel Girard (Questionable, Upper Body), G Jonathan Bernier (Out, Lower Body), G Semyon Varlamov (Out Indefinitely, Knee), D Erik Johnson (Late May, Knee).

Predators - D Yannick Weber (Questionable, Upper Body).

MATCHUP CHART:



TRENDS:

* Avalanche are 1-5 in their last 6 Conference Quarterfinals games.

* Over is 6-1 in Avalanche last 7 Conference Quarterfinals games.
