Sunday's NBA Playoffs betting preview and odds

Round 2 of the NBA Playoffs continues Sunday, as the top Western Conference teams look to take a 3-1 stranglehold in their respective series. The Golden State Warriors will try to bounce back after dropping the first game in New Orleans, while the Rockets look to take another game from the Jazz in Utah.

Golden State Warriors at New Orleans Pelicans (+5.5, 231.5)

Warriors lead series 2-1

Anthony Davis and the New Orleans Pelicans hope to match their last performance when they host the defending champion Golden State Warriors for Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinal series Sunday afternoon. Davis registered 33 points, 18 rebounds and four steals while the Pelicans limited the Warriors to 38 percent shooting with suffocating defense for a decisive 119-100 victory Friday.

TV: 3:30 p.m. ET, ABC

SERIES PRICE (PER PINNACLE):



BETTING ACTION AND LINE MOVES: The Pellies hit the board for Game 4 as 4.5-point home favorites, but they have been quickly faded to +5.5. That could mean some early sharp action on the Dubs, with 55 percent of wagers on New Orleans according to our consensus. The total once again opened at a sky-high 232, but has come down a half-point to the current number of 231.5

INJURY REPORT:

Warriors - SG Patrick McCaw (Out, back), SF Chris Boucher (Out, ankle).

Pelicans - C DeMarcus Cousins (Out, achilles), C Alexis Ajinca (Out, knee), PG Frank Jackson (Out, foot).

ABOUT THE WARRIORS (64-26, 38-51-1 ATS, 43-46-1 O/U): Klay Thompson led the way with 26 points for the Warriors on Friday while Kevin Durant added 22 and Stephen Curry 19, making just 6-of-19 from the field, but it was more about New Orleans aggression being much better than Golden State’s work in the defensive end. Curry moved back into the starting lineup Friday in his second game back from an MCL sprain that kept him out more than a month, but connected on just 3-of-9 from 3-point range after making 5-of-10 in Tuesday’s 28-point performance. Forward Draymond Green is averaging a triple-double in the series (15.7 points, 12 rebounds, 10.7 assists) while Durant leads the team in scoring during the playoffs at 27.3.

ABOUT THE PELICANS (53-36, 51-37-1 ATS, 51-38 O/U): The Pelicans put more pressure on Golden State’s shooters after allowing 122 points per game in the first two of the series and drained 50 percent of their shots from the field - 14-of-31 from 3-point range - to pull away. Veteran point guard Rajon Rondo dished out 21 assists in Friday’s victory and is averaging 13.9 in the playoffs with at least nine in all seven games during the postseason. Davis is averaging 26.3 points and 14.3 rebounds while shooting 50.7 percent from the field in the series while point guard Jrue Holiday scored 45 points combined in the last two games.

MATCHUP CHART:



TRENDS:

* Warriors are 3-13 ATS in their last 16 games playing on one days rest.
* Pelicans are 5-0 ATS in their last five home games.
* Under is 4-1 in Warriors last five road games.
* Over is 5-1 in Pelicans last six games after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game.
* Warriors are 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings in New Orleans.




Houston Rockets at Utah Jazz (+5, 209)

Rockets lead series 2-1

The Houston Rockets responded to a rare loss with an impressive display of basketball in Game 3 of their Western Conference semifinal series with the Utah Jazz and look to take a 3-1 series lead when the teams meet in Salt Lake City on Sunday. After the Jazz triumphed 116-108 in Game 2 to temporarily wrest home-court advantage from the top-seeded Rockets, Houston answered in convincing fashion when the series shifted to Utah.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, TNT

SERIES PRICE (PER PINNACLE):



BETTING ACTION AND LINE MOVES: The Jazz opened Game 4 as 5-point underdogs and that's were the number remains as of Saturday night. That's not too surprising, with the Jazz seeing a slight 52 perecent edge in the public action according to our consensus. The total hit hte board at 208.5 and is up a half-point to 209. Seventy-one percent of public bets are on the Over.

INJURY REPORT:

Rockets - No injuries to report.

Jazz - PG Ricky Rubio (Questionable, hamstring), SF Thabo Sefolosha (Out, knee).

ABOUT THE ROCKETS (71-19, 46-43-1 ATS, 37-52-1 O/U): James Harden scored 25 points and handed out 12 assists in the 113-92 rout as the Rockets opened a 30-point halftime lead and cruised from there. A big factor in Houston's turnaround was the stroke of shooting guard Eric Gordon, who was 8-of-13 from the floor in Game 3 after shooting under 50 percent in each of his first seven games this postseason. Harden and Chris Paul combined for 18 assists against one turnover in Game 3. Including the regular season, Houston has won all three meetings in Utah by double digits.

ABOUT THE JAZZ: (53-38, 47-44 ATS, 43-47-1 O/U): Guard Donovan Mitchell has taken a leadership role as a rookie for Utah and knows he needs to improve on a 10-point effort on 4-of-16 shooting. Point guard Ricky Rubio (hamstring) has been doing some agility drills and light work on the court as he approaches a potential return, and Utah has another injury concern in the form of Derrick Favors, who left Game 3 with a sprained ankle. Favors hopes to play in Game 4. The Jazz will look for a bounce-back effort from Joe Ingles after he followed up a 27-point effort in Game 2 with a six-point showing in Friday's loss.

MATCHUP CHART:



TRENDS:

* Rockets are 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall.
* Jazz are 1-4 ATS in their last five games overall.
* Over is 7-3 in Rockets last 10 vs. a team with a winning SU record.
* Rockets are 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings.
* Over is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings.

Sunday's NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs betting preview and odds

Round 2 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs continues Sunday as a pair of teams will be fighting for their playoff lives. The Bruins head to Tampa Bay for a must-win Game 5, while the Sharks host the Golden Knights down three games to two.

Boston Bruins at Tampa Bay Lightning (-175, 6)

Lightning lead series 3-1

The Tampa Bay Lightning go after a fourth straight victory to close out the Eastern Conference semifinal series when they host the Boston Bruins for Game 5 on Sunday afternoon. Captain Steven Stamkos tied the contest in the third period and defenseman Dan Girardi tipped home the winner in overtime as the Lightning rallied for a 4-3 victory Friday to give themselves a chance to finish their second series in five games.

TV: 3 p.m. ET, NBC, CBC, TVA

SERIES PRICE (PER LV SUPERBOOK):



BETTING ACTION AND LINE MOVES: The Lightning opened Game 5 as -169 home favorites and have moved up to -175 as of Saturday night. Which isn't surprising considering the Bolts are seeing 64 percent of wagers according to our consensus. The total hit the board at an even 6 with 58 percent of bets on the Over.

INJURY REPORT:

Bruins - D Torey Krug (Questionable, lower body), D Brandon Carlo (Out, ankle), LW Anders Bjork (Out, shoulder).

Lightning - LW Adam Erne (Questionable, lower body).

GOALIE SHOWDOWN:
GP W L GAA SAVE % SO
Tukka Rask (Bruins) 11 5 6 2.96 .903 0
Andrei Vasilevskiy (Lightning) 9 7 2 2.33 .923 0

ABOUT THE BRUINS: The Bruins have not recorded an even-strength goal since Game 2 after scoring twice with the man advantage and once short-handed during the rally that gave them a 3-2 lead in the third period Friday. Right wing David Pastrnak had one of the power-play tallies for Boston and leads the team with 20 points in the playoffs. Defenseman Torey Krug, who has 12 points in 11 playoff games, suffered a left ankle injury after crashing into the boards feet first Friday and has been ruled out for the rest of the series. Left wing Brad Marchand had a pair of assists Friday and boasts 17 in the postseason, but has managed only seven shots on goal overall in the four games, but did land one lick.

ABOUT THE LIGHTNING: Tampa Bay’s top line is beginning to produce after a slow start to the series as Nikita Kucherov scored on the power play and Steven Stamkos had a goal for the second straight contest. Defenseman Victor Hedman did not have a point in the first playoff series, but has recorded five assists in the last four games against Boston to become the franchise’s postseason leader in that category (36).

MATCHUP CHART:



TRENDS:

* Bruins are 1-6 in their last seven games playing on one days rest.
* Lightning are 20-6 in their last 26 Conference Semifinals games.
* Over is 6-2-1 in Bruins last nine games playing on one days rest.
* Over is 4-1-1 in Lightning last six home games.
* Bruins are 6-2 in the last 8 meetings in Tampa Bay.




Vegas Golden Knights at San Jose Sharks (-140, 5.5)

Golden Knights lead series 3-2

The Golden Knights can add another accomplishment to what is already the most successful inaugural season in NHL history when they visit the San Jose Sharks on Sunday with a chance to wrap up their Western Conference semifinal series. Vegas shrugged off a 4-0 loss to San Jose in Game 4 with a 5-3 victory in Game 5 on Friday to take a 3-2 series lead and will try to avoid a Game 7 at home Tuesday.

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, NBC Sports Network, CBC, Sportsnet, TVA

SERIES PRICE (PER LV SUPERBOOK):



BETTING ACTION AND LINE MOVES: The Sharks opened Game 6 as -135 home favorites and are up slightly to -140 as of Saturday night. San Jose is seeing a very slight edge in wagers at 52 percent according to the public in our consensus. The total opened at 5.5 with 61 percent of bets on the Over.

INJURY REPORT:

Golden Knights - D Clayton Stoner (Out, abdominal).

Sharks - C Joe Thornton (Questionable, knee).

GOALIE SHOWDOWN:
GP W L GAA SAVE % SO
Marc Andre-Fleury (Golden Knight) 9 7 2 1.68 .946 3
Martin Jones (Sharks) 9 6 3 2.29 .926 2

ABOUT THE GOLDEN KNIGHTS: Alex Tuch has three goals and two assists in the series and shares the team postseason lead with four goals while Marchessault and Reilly Smith boast a team-best 10 playoff points apiece. William Karlsson (four goals, nine points) has been kept off the scoresheet for the last two games despite recording five shots on goal in each contest after recording three goals and four assists in the first three games of the series. Marc-Andre Fleury has allowed 14 goals in the last four games with a save percentage of .925 versus San Jose after stopping 127 of 130 shots in the first round versus Los Angeles.

ABOUT THE SHARKS: Sharks goaltender Martin Jones was yanked after rookie Alex Tuch scored his second goal of Game 5 at 8:36 of the third period to make it 4-0 and must improve on his .886 save percentage in the series to send it back to Sin City. Tomas Hertl scored in each of the last three games - all at even strength, giving him a team-high six playoff goals. Logan Couture has five assists in the last two games and owns a club-most 12 postseason points.

MATCHUP CHART:



TRENDS:
