My projected total based on my model is 216 with Minnesota favorited by 3.6. I went with Dallas plus +4.5 and over 207. I think that Dallas could sneak by with a win tonight. I may sprinkle a little on the ML. Good luck & thanks again Steve!

Awesome!

Someone's going to get in foul trouble early, either Gafford or Gobert/KAT. If I'm coaching either of these teams, I'm going right at the bigs to try and get them on the bench. Soften up the paint area and force the perimeter defenders to help, it could make things easier for the 3-point shooters.

I think the bigs decide this series PJ, Lively, Gifford vs Naz,KAT, Gobert. Whoever brings the energy and defense. The stars will get theirs.

Steve, thank you for your continued great information on the games. I had Boston to win the Championship before the playoff began. I still think Boston is the team to beat. All four teams are outstanding and very difficult to pick on a series. I slightly lean on Minnesota today but will stay out of the first game. Instead, I will go with Seattle in WNBA. GL

Minnesota defense appearance is greatly benefitted by slow grinding offense that lethargically gets into its pick n roll errr offense. To get them out of it takes scoring

I have a ticket at 30/1 for Minn to win the west. So I'm a Big Minn fan. Key game tonight hoping Minn wins and I'll come back a little on Dallas just a little at what should be 2/1 or better. Thanks for vid Steve BOL. Always great information and numbers. How about Jaden Mcdaniels for MVP AT 100+/1. Worth some pizza money.

Hard to imagine MIN winning without Edwards (or Towns) having a big series, but McDaniels would be the third option.

@paulsampugnaro6919

I agree, but it will also depend on how well Luca does. Not shutting him down of course no one could do that but him taking more shots less free throws and a clear win in the matchup could go a long way. Also I like the fact that Edwards gave him big credit for their 7th game win. It brings him to the front.

Like Minnesota myself to win the series. Worried about Gobert or Conley on the pick and rolls. Doncic and Irving a whole different than Jamaal Murray

Thanks Steve! I think Jokic and Murray and possibly C Braun were the only players who looked like they wanted to be there. Porter looked lost. I don’t give Minnesotas Defense all the credit. Denver missed so many wide open shots.

I hit on it going to overtime last nite!!! Made me feel real good. And I would never take Boston w more than 4 point spread in a million yrs. 10 pts was/is crazy. Btw, Fanatics had a promo last wk, in Massachusetts, that I signed up for. It was complimentary $50 in bonus bets. No account info or deposit requ. Im up on that and I think the platform is pretty damn good. They will match deposits 100% and the daily promos are generous to say the least.

I've already said this, but I can see Dal v Indy finals. No one plays as fast as Indy or has as good of a bench. Playing an entire series against Indy causes teams to wear down and can cause injuries. Dal is a much better team than 99% of sports media gives them credit for.

Since I’m already an NBA client wouldn’t I be better off with the “MLB through all-star” package?

I want to take the Mavs plus points , but I keep having flash backs from the first OKC game. Plus mavs never win the first game during the play the offs. This one is hard to call.

Taking Mavs ML for a small bet. I'm thinking its a great value pick at +160. Mavs have some rest and I could T Wolves have a letdown at home.

Steve, I respect what you do in the work you put into it but pump the brakes on using the word “dynasty “and association to the current Denver Nuggets. By that logic the 2019 Toronto Raptors are a dynasty. I agree though that blowing 20 point lead at home and game seven could have a lingering/hangover effect.keep up the good work.

0-2 Mavs game 1 Wolves 2-0 game 1 the Mavs only had 1 extra day and the Wolves have Mon Tue then play on Wed so 3rd day to play at home 🤷🏾‍♀️

Was Denver ever that good? No. Joker was just that good. Malone shoulda rested him. Once Joker couldnt post up anymore from exhaustion the offense collapsed. And lets be real. They had a fairly easy road to the title. LeFlop choked both series away in the 4th when he tried to be Batman.
