A 1-0 record last night.

The Celtics posted the highest individual team total of their series thus far, but it didn’t matter for the under as the Raptors just didn’t show. Boston won 111-89 and things were bad from the start for the Raps with 11 points in the first quarter. The Raptors first quarter barely beat the Blue Jays sixth inning from yesterday. That’s just embarrassing.

We bet the under 212.5 and that came in easily thanks to the Raptors.

The Clippers bounced back big yesterday with a game three win. I was worried about the Nikola Jokic injury and posted a bet on the Clippers if he didn’t play. He did play so we didn’t go with it and that turned out to be smart as the Clips failed to cover the -9 spread. LA needed a huge 29-19 fourth quarter to get the 113-107 win behind a huge game from Paul George.

While they got the win, the Clippers don’t look like the favorite to win the NBA title right now. Honestly, based on the way teams are playing right now I think the Heat +500 is the best bet to win the title right now. They are locked in and playing the best basketball of any team out there right now. While the Lakers and Clippers are looking very vulnerable.

Miami Heat vs. Milwaukee Bucks Betting Tips:

This series has been killing me as I just haven’t been able to get a game right, but tonight feels like the end of the Milwaukee Bucks. They left everything on the floor and still needed overtime to get it done in game four. Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as questionable tonight and it seems like a mistake for him to play. Ankles are bad business in the NBA and it is definitely not worth his career to try and do the impossible here.

That Giannis injury really motivated the Bucks to play at new heights last time out and I just don’t see that happening again here. The Heat will be ready for Khris Middleton here and I think they come in with a better game plan here. Giannis or no Giannis, this series ends tonight.

Bet Heat -4

Los Angeles Lakers vs. Houston Rockets Betting Tips:

The Rockets defense did not show up for game two and despite that they were still in this game until the finals minutes of the fourth quarter. I have to think that the defense will be back and locked in here. The Lakers can’t shot 56% from the field and 44% from three again.

I always feel weird backing the Rockets because I am really not a fan of Russell Westbrook and James Harden. They are two of the top players in the league, but they can find ways to let you down in a big moment. Thus far, they have been ready for the moment though and I believe they are playing the better brand of basketball right now. If the defense can show up, the Rockets can take the lead in this series.

Bet Rockets +5
