Well here it is game 3 and to be honest I didn’t attempt to write up these series because these games here can go either way. Boston looked like they had no answer for Milwaukee in game 1 only to have the Bucks look like they were beat in every facet of the game in game 2. What the Bucks were able to do however is steal home court from Boston. Both these teams are capable of bringing such an effort that the games have gotten out of hand as once you have a decided advantage in the playoffs you don’t want to let that game slip away.
The Warriors are a lot of television analysts pick to win the Western Conference, but the Grizzlies were a layup away from having a 2-0 series lead. Now however you judge the Dylan Brooks foul, which was a hard foul but it was the fall that created the injury and you see harder fouls happen. Just very unfortunate for the Warriors as Payton II was a vital part of the unit closing out games and even though they still have all their primary scorers he was one of their better defenders. The Grizzlies have shown they belong and somewhat may be taking it as a slight that they come in as 7 point underdogs.
These are tough games and could go either way but my picks are Milwaukee -2.5, with the -130 being the safer play as we have seen to big margins of victory but as both teams make their adjustments we could end up seeing some thrillers here. The Warriors are likely to win -305 is a heavy price and you might be able to get that better on live bet if your in a position to do that. As for the spread Warriors -7 is a lot of points and I really have no idea if they will even be able to get enough separation. Both these series can still go either way and by no means is there a sure thing in either of these plays. Hopefully we see some entertaining playoff basketball.
