Well I have stayed away from the NBA for most of the year, but that doesn't mean i have't been keeping tabs. The only time that the teams play real basketball seems to be in the playoffs so I always know I would be handicapping them. Lets have a good post season. Also just like I did in the big dance I will be covering the NBA playoffs In the News Section of Pregame. I will have writeups and plays for every game played, but not all those picks will make my card. Brandon Watson is doing the same thing for the NHL playoffs.

(Risking $15.00 To Win $13.64) Grizzlies/ Thunder Under 190: This is playoff hoops and that usually means a bit more defense and both teams have been solid at that end of the floor. The Clippers do allow 101 ppg, but they are 5th in defensive FG% and 1st in 3pt defense, while the Warriors check in at 4th in defensive FG% and 4th in 3pt defense, allowing 99.5 ppg in the process. Both teams like to push tempo, but still the defenses here will rise up and keep this one in the lower 200s at best.
