Russell Westbrook is back. He’s fresh, healthy and ready to rock. What a great midseries addition. When you bet the Rockets, you’re betting on 19-plus 3-pointers. Today is the day they go in from deep. Moneyline play.
MILWAUKEE -177

The Brewers got their offense going in yesterday’s series opener and this is relevant because they are 12-0 straight up as a favorite after a game as a home favorite in which they scored in at least four innings. The Pirates are 0-10 as a road dog of more than +130 when they are off a road game in which they had more strikeouts than hits. The Brewers are the play.

The Dodgers are a perfect 13-0 in the second game of a road series in which they had more strikeouts than hits as a road favorite in the series opener, winning by an average of 4.23 runs per game. Each of their last seven wins came by multiple runs. L.A. should win handily.

PORTLAND @ L.A. LAKERS | 8/29 | 9:00 PM EDT
8:44 AM
While Game 4 represented a best-case scenario for the Lakers offense, the reality is something closer to Game 3. The Lakers put up 116 points on 10 made 3-pointers in that one, and if that's approximately what they can expect in this one, the Under feels safe as Portland has no consistent means of shot-creation with Damian Lillard. Get ready to see a lot of inefficient Carmelo Anthony isolations on Saturday, and don't be surprised if Portland finishes well below 100 points without its leader.

ORLANDO @ MILWAUKEE | 8/29 | 3:30 PM EDT

The Bucks have either reached or exceeded this spread in each of their past three games against the Magic, they averaged a 17-point margin of victory over Orlando during the regular season, and they covered a theoretical 14-point spread in all four games of their first-round sweep over the Pistons a year ago. The Bucks crush mediocre opponents. Describing the heavily injured Magic as "mediocre" is almost too kind right now. The Bucks will finish this one off in style on Saturday.
