The Bucks have handled the Pacers easily in their previous matchups. With Myles Turner unavailable for this match, the Pacers simply don’t have enough to resist the Bucks at the rim.

Our Pick

It’s a difficult matchup to choose, as this could easily be a seven-game series in the playoffs. The Sixers are coming off of poor performance, but they’ve been able to manage the defensive pressure of the Heat due to their shooters. The availability of Joel Embiid and Jimmy Butler could change the odds greatly.

Our Pick

The LA Clippers and the Charlotte Hornets are two of the league’s more consistent defensive sides – even if the Hornets have been on a losing run of late. While both are capable offensive teams, a grind it out, defensive battle is to be expected.

Denver Nuggets vs Minnesota Timberwolves

Two teams on opposite ends of the Western Conference table, the Denver Nuggets and the Minnesota Timberwolves pit their All-Star centers against one another!

Our Pick

The Denver Nuggets are averaging just 111.6 points per game over their last five, but face off against a Minnesota Timberwolves team that have allowed them to average 123.5 points per game in their previous two meetings. While the Nuggets have performed admirably with Murray out of the lineup, the Nuggets scoring potential just doesn’t seem as potent.
