Denver at Dallas
Play: Dallas(-3.5

While Denver has played exceptionally well in these playoffs, it has done the majority of its damage at home. The Mavericks are quite the home squad as well, going 34-9 this season. Dallas has won 20 of its last 25 home games against the Nuggets. Dating back to the regular season, the Mavs have won 8 in a row, 17 of their last 18, and 22 of their last 24 at home. They are an extraordinary home team and I expect them to leave it all out on the floor knowing that 0-3 is as good as done. What cannot be overshadowed when looking at the Nuggets is that they are just 1-3 their L4 and 5-10 their L15 road games. The Nuggets are only 2-7 ATS in their last 9 playoff games as an underdog. Plays on favorites (DALLAS) revenging 4 or more losses vs opponent in last 2 years, in a game involving two good teams (60% to 75%), are 29-8 ATS since 1996 and plays on home favorites (DALLAS) - triple revenge - 3 straight losses vs. opponent, in a game involving two good teams (60% to 75%), and 71-32 ATS since 1996. Lay the points with the Mavs.

Cleveland at Atlanta
Play: Cleveland -8.5

Laying less than double-digits with Cleveland is a bargain.The Cavaliers have played six playoff games - and have won each time by double-digits. The Cavaliers are on fire, covering 11 of their last 12 despite inflated point spreads.There's no stepping in against the Cavaliers with a banged-up, dispirited Hawks squad.Cleveland won Game 1 in this series by 27 points. The Cavaliers won Game 2 by 20 points. They easily could have won by 27 again, but their reserves let up.The Cavaliers are healthy, more rested and have a far deeper bench than the morale-challenged Hawks.There's nothing Hawks coach Mike Woodson can do and his players know it. The Cavaliers are just too good.Atlanta usually plays much better at home. However, the Cavaliers have covered in seven of their last 10 visits to Philips Arena and catch the Hawks in a crippled state.Atlanta's three best players all have significant injuries. Joe Johnson missed practice Friday after sustaining a sprained ankle in Game 2. Al Horford and Marvin Williams missed Game 2 due to ankle and wrist injuries.The status of all three is up in the air. Even if they can play, they will be limited and restricted.Atlanta is just 1-8 against the spread the past nine times it has been a 'dog. The Hawks can't stop Cleveland.

#24 Jeff Gordon vs #16 Greg Biffle
Play: 3* #24 Jeff Gordon -140

Jeff Gordon is very good here in Darlington with 16 Top 5 finishes and 19 Top 10 finishes in his 28 races here. Gordon also has 7 wins in those 28 races here in Darlington. Gordon has an 11.5 average finish here in Darlington. Jeff Gordon was the fastest driver in Happy Hour practice. Gordon will be starting 2nd here today. Last year Biffle finished 43rd, which was dead last in Darlington while Gordon finished in 3rd place. Gordon is my favorite driver for this track and should be competing for the win. We'll play Jeff Gordon to finish ahead of Greg Biffle for 3 units tonight!
