Our 3 selections include the Brooklyn Nets, Detroit Pistons and Utah Jazz.

At 3:05 pm, our selection is on the Brooklyn Nets plus the points over Philadelphia. The Nets look to even up this series at 2 games apiece after dropping the last two games to Philly. We will take Brooklyn, as home teams have cashed 67% since 1991 when down 2 games to 1 in a series, and not laying 7 or more points. Additionally, the Nets are 6-1 ATS at home their last seven when they were off back to back losses. Take Brooklyn.

At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the Detroit Pistons + the points over Milwaukee. Detroit finds itself in an 0-2 hole as this series shifts to the Motor City. I love the Pistons tonight, as underdogs of +6 or more points, in the Opening Round of the NBA Playoffs, have covered 67% of Game 3s over the last 29 seasons when they lost the first two games of the series. Take the Pistons.

At 10:35 pm, our selection is on the Utah Jazz minus the points over Houston. The Jazz lost by a combined 52 points in Games 1 + 2 of this series. The knee-jerk reaction might be to play against Utah, especially since it's been installed as a favorite in Game 3. But NBA favorites have actually cashed 62.8% in the NBA Playoffs after losing each of the first two games of a series by double-digits. Take the Jazz. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

Our 3 selections include the Washington Nationals, San Diego Padres and Tampa Bay Rays.

At 6:10 pm, our selection is on the Tampa Bay Rays over the Boston Red Sox. Few pitchers in the Majors can claim to have as great a two-year run as Charlie Morton had in the past two seasons (2017 & 2018). After spending one forgettable season in Philadelphia in 2016, Morton -- at the ripe age of 33 -- resurrected his career in Houston in 2017, going 14-7 and winning a World Series ring (his first). He did himself one better (minus the ring) last season, going 15-3 with a 3.13 ERA in his first full season of starts since he was in Pittsburgh. But with the depth they had, the 'Stros decided not to make Morton an offer when he hit free agency and he signed with the Rays. So far, Morton has picked up where he left off with the 'Stros, going 2-0 with a 2.18 ERA over this first four Tampa starts. Morton's teams are 22-9 (+7 games on the money line) in his last 31 starts on an extra day or two of rest. Take the Rays.

At 6:10 pm, our selection is on the Washington Nationals over the Miami Marlins. It's an upside-down season for NL starting pitching so far. The guys we usually count on to be the aces of the League are looking like anything but. Jacob deGrom just left the Mets to get his aching elbow examined, Aaron Nola has a 7.45 ERA, Clayton Kershaw is still trying to get healthy, and Max Scherzer has a losing record with a 3.33 ERA. Admittedly, Scherzer's had just four starts. And just about every other starter in baseball would take that number in a heartbeat. But it's almost a full run higher than what we're used to seeing from the veteran RHP. Perhaps a start against the Marlins will get Scherzer's season back on track. Although his ERA is higher than usual, Scherzer's WHIP is solid (1.07) and he has a sparkling 7.00 K:BB ratio having punched out 35 batters in just 27 innings. The Nats have also beaten the Marlins in each of Scherzer's last seven starts against them going back to August of 2017. And they've outscored them 44-11 in his last four. Take Washington.

At 8:40 pm, our selection is on the San Diego Padres over Cincinnati. The Reds are 7-12 on the season, yet have been installed as a road favorite against San Diego. The reason is the perceived advantage for the Reds on the mound. Cincinnati will hand the ball to Luis Castillo, who has a 1.46 ERA this season. But he's struggled vs. the Reds in his young career, with an 0-2 record (3 starts), a 5.17 ERA, and a 1.34 WHIP. Castillo will face San Diego's southpaw Eric Lauer, who's been excellent in his career vs. Cincinnati. In two starts, Lauer has a 1.00 ERA, with a 1.33 WHIP vs. the Reds. Cincy is 69-87 (minus 17 games on the money line) as a favorite, and 31-56 (minus 18 games on the money line) vs. lefties. Take San Diego. Good luck, as always....Al McMordie.

This series felt like it was over before it even started. The Bucks have won both of the first two games by at least 21 points and look well on their way to a sweep. Even if Blake Griffin (knee) is somehow able to return Saturday, he likely won’t be completely healthy. I’ll take the Bucks to win big and cover.

With a loss Saturday, the Nuggets would find themselves in the unenviable position of being down 3-1 in this series. As much as they need to win, they are not a good road team. They were 20-21 away from home during the regular season, which included a 17-24 mark ATS. Meanwhile, the Spurs were 32-9 at home, including 24-17 ATS. I’ll take the Spurs to cover and put the Nuggets on the brink of elimination.

PHILADELPHIA @ BROOKLYN | 4/20 | 3:00 PM EDT

Even without Joel Embiid (knee), the Sixers pulled off an impressive 16-point win on the road in Game 3. With Embiid listed as doubtful Saturday, they’ll need Ben Simmons, Jimmy Butler and Tobias Harris to step up, once again. The Nets have played tough all season, so I don’t expect them to go down quietly in this series. I like their chances to win this game, so I’ll take the points.

HOUSTON @ UTAH | 4/20 | 10:30 PM EDT

The Jazz shot under 40 percent in both games in Houston, you need to go back to December to find the last time they shot under 40 percent in back to back games. The Jazz are 21-4 SU at home since the beginning of the year winning by a median of 10 points. Over the last eight home games they are 8-0 SU, 5-3 ATS winning by a median of 15.5 points. The Jazz shoot better than 50 percent over those last eight games. I'm looking for a far better shooting performance and a small let down from the Rockets up 2-0.
