With Kristaps Porzingis (knee) sidelined for Game 4, the Mavericks pulled out an overtime victory. Luka Doncic was amazing, and Trey Burke stepped up with 25 points across 37 minutes. If Porzingis plays, the Mavericks certainly have a chance to win Game 5 outright. Even if he doesn’t, I still like Doncic and company to be able to keep this close enough to where I like taking the points.

The Canucks are coming off a great series win vs. the Blues, but have their work cut out for them here. Vancouver is now 0-9-2 all-time in regulation vs. the Knights. After a 5-0 beatdown and with a chance to take a commanding 2-0 series lead, look for Las Vegas to start fast. The Knights are the faster and more experienced team with the better defense and goalie. Las Vegas is the play at -1.5 (+115).

The Bruins did a great job in Game 1 to take a series lead, but the Lightning will come out hard and play much better defensively tonight. Andrei Vasilevskiy is going to have to step it up in net for Tampa Bay to have a chance to win this series. The Bruins haven't skipped a beat, as Jaroslov Halak is 4-0 since Tuukka Rask opted out. The Lightning are too good offensively and will create and convert more scoring chances. Tampa Bay hasn't lost back-to-back games vs the Bruins in years and can't afford to go down 0-2.

The Nuggets gave it their best shot in Game 4, but came up short and now face elimination. It was a crushing defeat for Denver’s confidence. The Jazz are the better overall team even though these two squads have identical numbers. The Utah pick and roll is proving to be too much for the Nuggets to handle. The Jazz have been doing a great job moving the ball and Utah is playing hard, while Denver has not seemed interested in defending on each possession. The Nuggets are 5-13 ATS in their last 18 Conference quarter-final games.

Dallas has a ton of confidence and all the momentum. Luka Doncic is proving he is more than capable of leading his team to a championship. If Kristaps Porzingis plays tonight, this team is very dangerous and a matchup nightmare, even for the tough Los Angeles defense. The Mavericks have shown they are never out of it no matter what the score is, and that factor has to be in the heads of the Clippers players.
