BOSTON -3.5
TORONTO @ BOSTON | 9/09 | 6:30 PM EDT
The Celtics took back control of this series with a lopsided win in Game 5. They are 7-2 ATS versus the Raptors this season and will look to eliminate them Wednesday and avoid a Game 7. The big news for the Raptors is the status of Serge Ibaka (ankle), who is listed as questionable. If he can’t play, it would be a huge loss for their second unit. Even if he does take the floor, he could be limited.

DENVER +8
L.A. CLIPPERS @ DENVER | 9/09 | 9:00 PM EDT
10:59 AM
The Nuggets had plenty of chances to get the edge in Game 3 but couldn't convert down the stretch. Jamal Murray is struggling, and if he can get going, the Nuggets have a chance to stun the Clippers. Nikolai Jokic is playing great and he is a matchup problem for Los Angeles. The Nuggets are making the Clippers work hard on both ends of the floor. Denver must do a better job of guarding Paul George to win this game. The Clippers are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 conference semifinals games. Los Angeles is 1-5 ATS in its last six conference semifinals games.

The Celtics surely don't want to go to a seventh game. Look for Boston to wrap this series up. The Raptors fought back from 0-2 but just don't have enough consistency from their big three. To make matters worse, Serge Ibaka is listed as questionable, as he was in a walking boot. Boston will come out very aggressively and the play of Marcus Smart has been a huge factor in this series. The Raptors are 1-6 ATS in their last seven conference semifinals games.

TAMPA BAY -170
N.Y. ISLANDERS @ TAMPA BAY | 9/09 | 8:00 PM EDT
9:40 AM
The Lightning didn't waste any time taking advantage of a tired Islanders team in an 8-2 Game 1 beatdown, setting the tone for this series. Tampa Bay has won 13 of the last 17 meetings. The Lightning are well-rested and several days off seemed to energize them. Tampa Bay has won five straight games, outscoring the opposition 25-9 in the process. Lightning goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy has been elevating his levels of performance. The Islanders are 4-13 in their last 17 games as an underdog and 3-12 in their last 15 Wednesday games.

KANSAS CITY -9
HOUSTON @ KANSAS CITY | 9/10 | 8:20 PM EDT
YESTERDAY 11:24 AM
Kansas City has a great chance to repeat as Super Bowl champs with Patrick Mahomes at QB. The Chiefs return nearly their entire roster and added a great RB in the draft. With no preseason games, you have to be looking at players and coaching staffs that have experience working together, and injuries. The Chiefs came back last year to destroy the Texans and now Houston is without DeAndre Hopkins. It could be another long night for the Texans and their defense. Houston is 2-8 ATS in its last 10 Thursday night games. Kansas City is 7-0-1 in its last eight games as home favorite. The Chiefs are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 September games.
6 Unit Play. Take #711 Over 220.5 LA Clippers vs Denver (9:00p.m., Wednesday September 9 TNT) We barely cashed the 'Over' in Game #3 but if you re-watch that game so many missed shots in the 4th quarter from both teams that caused us a small panic attack. Game #4 we see both teams scoring at will and the winner in all 3 games are averaging 114.3ppg. The Clippers are 4-0-1 ATS following a ATS loss and the Clips are 4-1-1 O/U when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their last game. The Denver Nuggets are 7-1-1 O/U following a ATS win and the Nuggets are 8-2 O/U following a SU loss.
