I find the Nuggets to be really underestimated going to into this game, and the ML @ 4.19 is good value, If you ask me. Clippers aren't invisible and If the Mavs could put up that much of a fight against the, I wouldn't expect any less from Nuggets.
One thing that worries me, and stops me from putting anything on the Nuggets ML, is that they don't have a very good defense, in 4 of those matches against Utah they sucked so bad, couldn't stop Mitchell, constantly over-helping leaving shooters open on the perimeter. I don't know, Clippers had more time to prepare for this game, well-rested, they should win gm1 without much hassle.
In the regular season (excluding one seeding game 2/3 weeks ago) these two teams played two games, each winning one, if that matter now...
My bet for today is
Raptors ML + Nuggets/Clippers Over This one is a must-win for Toronto, if they lose, i don't see them come back 0-3, late game should be a shoot out, i might add a few prop bets before the game.
Who do you think is Marcus Morris' next
victim?
a/ Jokic
b/ Murray
c/ somebody else
GL everyone!
edit; Siakam has more fouls than points in the first half
(this is what a $130mil max extension gets you, jeez)
Raptors can't buy a bucket from deep, 5-22
edit2; Raptors 104 : 103 Celtics buzzer beater 3pt by OG, what a finish of the game
