Went just 1-2 yesterday. Hopefully today will be a bit better. I will have a play on the Houston/ Portland game a bit later.

(Risking $20.00 To Win $18.18) Wizards/ Bulls Under 181: The Wizards have played some very solid defense down the stretch as they have allowed just 92.9 ppg in their last 8 games and they have allowed just 92.3 ppg in the 3 meetings vs Chicago this year. The Bulls are all about defense as they are #1 in the league in points allowed (91.8 ppg), while at home they have allowed just 89.6 ppg. The Nulls offense looked good down the stretch, but still this team has averaged just 94.5 ppg at home and with this being playoff basketball I just can't see them worrying about scoring a ton of points and going up and down the court. They will win this series with defense, especially at home. The Under is 21-5 the last 26 in the series and I see that trend continuing here.
(Risking $20.00 To Win $18.18) Houston/ Portland Over 215.5: (Added) Both teams play an uptempo brad of ball and both teams are ranked in the top 4 in the league in scoring. The Trailblazers come in averaging 106.7 ppg, which is 4th in the league, while Houston is 2nd in scoring, putting up 107.2 ppg. On defense both teams have struggled this year as the Rockets have allowed 103.1 ppg, while Portland has allowed 102.8 ppg overall and 104.2 ppg on the road. The teams met 4 times during the regular season and 220.8 ppg were scored in those games. These teams like to play high scoring games and i see another one here.

(Risking $10.00 To Win $9.09) Dallas/ San Antonio Over 205: These teams played 4 times this year and those games averaged 213 ppg, with 3 of the 4 putting up at least 209 points. The Spurs have averaged 106.3 ppg at home this year and they scored 112.5 ppg vs the Mavericks this year. Dallas has allowed 102.4 ppg on the year and are 23rd in the league in defensive FG% (46.4%), so you can expect the spurs to get their share of points in this one. The Mavericks have averaged 102.2 ppg on the road this year and while the Spurs have allowed just 97.4 ppg at home, they have allowed 106.2 ppg in their last 5 games overall. Both teams will push tempo, even in the playoffs, and that should net us at least 210 points in this one.
1 UNIT PLAY
(Risking 8:00 To Win 7.27) MIAMI -10 over Charlotte: I feel the play here is the Miami Heat. They have been listening to the press about how their struggles down the stretch mat signal that this team doesn't have it this year. Will they will come out and show at least the Bobcats that they do have it with a win of at least 15.
