Miami at Indiana 8:30 ET Pacers + over Heat- Miami is one win away from their third straight trip to the NBA Finals and it can all be attributed to the play of LeBron James. The reining MVP has taken it upon himself to bring Miami back once again as his teammates for the most part have not done their fair share. The Heat have a huge front-line disadvantage that has seen them a 10-rebound per game deficit and without Anderson in this contest that won't help. Indiana still has the number one defense for opponents field goal percentage and three-point percentage along with their size advantage. With Bosh and Wade coming up short and the Pacers strong home court they will force a Game 7. Take INDIANA!

Miami at Indiana 8:30 ET Pacers over Heat- The Indiana Pacers may have been a little over-confident entering Game 3 at home after nearly beating the Heat twice in Miami. As it is now the Pacers trail 2-1 and desperately need this Game 4 to get back to Miami 2-2 and will pull out all stops tonight. Indiana is know for their defense and they have to tighten things up as they allowed Miami to score 114 points in the last game and for Udonis Haslem to go 8-of-9 from the field and Chris Anderson is 15 of 15 in the last two games. Tonight the Pacers rebound in more ways then one. Take INDIANA!

Miami at Indiana 8:30 ET Pacers over Heat- The Indiana Pacers inside game has been a key factor in the first two games of this series as the presence of Roy Hibbard has all but destroyed Miami's interior game. LaBron James who has scored 66 points in the last two contests can't do it alone as Chris Bosh has only seven rebounds in the last two games while knocking down a pair of three-pointers. The Pacers defense is led by Hibbard and Paul George who forces James into five critical turnovers. Indiana is 36-11 at home while the Heat are 33-12 on the road. In what should be a great game the home Pacers should get it done here. Take INDIANA!

Indiana at Miami 8:30 ET Heat - over Pacers- I see this game much like Game One of the Western Finals between San Antonio and Memphis where for the most part the feeling is that underdog is ready to take on the favorites. I had the Spurs in Game One an easy 22 point winner and I see more of the same here with the well rested Miami Heat taking control of this series early. Indiana was able to do things against the Knicks that they will not be able to do against Miami for the most part because of a man named LeBron James. Last year James really came into his own and he shows every night that he is e most dominate player on the court be it on offense or defense. We are all aware of just how intimating 7' 2" Roy Hibbard can be as his presence is undeniable around that basket especially on defense but to is where Miami can turn the Pacers around with the great outside shooting of their center Chris Bosh who is deadly from 15 to 18 feet and even often beyond. Dwayne Wade has had eight days to rest his sore knee and at home will be another huge asset to the Heat. This in not the New York Knicks Pacers as facing it is not just another team, it is the reining and future NBA World Champions. Take Miami to win Game 1, it's the Heat!

It seems odd that these two will be playing Game Two of the West Finals while the Miami Heat will have eight days rest before they start the Eastern Finals on Wednesday. The Grizzlies have now lost the opening game of all three playoff series and have managed to win eight of nine after that loss to beat the Clippers (4-2) and the Thunder (4-1) to move on. I'm hoping that pattern will continue and Memphis bounces back with at least a 'cover' if not an out-right win here. Take the GRIZZLIES!

Memphis at San Antonio 3:30 ET Spurs + over Grizzlies- There is no question that the 'public' and general feeling is that the Memphis Grizzlies will make it to the Finals and most likely face the Miami Heat. The problem for them is that is their first trip to the Western Conference Finals in franchise history and they are facing a veteran team that knows how to win and is returning the Conference Finals for the second straight season. The Spurs remember being bounced out of the playoffs two years ago when the Grizzlies won the series in six games. San Antonio is 33-7 at home including 4-1 in the postseason when hosting the Grizzlies. The Spurs will be ready here. Take SAN ANTONIO!

After losing Game 5 in New York the Pacers have got to be feeling the pressure knowing that a return to Madison Square Garden could be disastrous. The Knicks Carmelo Anthony failed to record a field goal in the fourth quarter of either Game 3 or 4 and that will be different tonight. Jason Kidd who is 0-17 and hasn't scored a point in the last nine games will have his playing time diminished as 29-year-old rookie Chris Copeland brings more size and youth to New York's line-up.

Miami who is 40-5 at home even have a better road record then Chicago who is 26-19 when playing as host.

Denver will have to take advantage of their inside game as the Warriors will be without David Lee for the remainder of the playoffs. It's the Nuggets time...take DENVER!

Miami at Milwaukee 3:30 ET Bucks + over Heat- Top seed Miami has had their way with Eighth seed Milwaukee winning the first three games of this Round One series by pulling away in the second half as the young Bucks just couldn't match the Heat talent. LeBron James played just 30 of 48 minutes and still managed to be a dominating force in Game 3 as Miami opened the final quarter with a 10-0 run to put away the Bucks. Miami's depth has been the key factor as Ray Allen and Chris Anderson have been key off the bench. Dwyane Wade is hurting and may see fewer minutes in Game 4 and the Bucks will fight to the finish at home. Look for Milwaukee to put forth a huge effort to keep this one close. Take MILWAUKEE!

Golden State was the first team to win there since January and shot virtually 65% in the process. The loss of Lee isn't the Warriors only problem entering this contest as Stephen Curry turned his ankle late in Game 2 and his effectiveness will be challenged in this crucial contest. These two split their two games at Golden State with the Nuggets getting the 'cover' in both encounters while the Warriors are coming off the highest shooting percentage (64.6) since 1991.

The Heat have won 38 of their last 40 contests and it's no coincidence that the play of LeBron James has been dominating over this period.

Oklahoma City at Dallas 7:35 ET Mavericks + over Thunder- The Dallas Mavericks are playing their best basketball of the season as Dirk Nowitzki has gotten hot with three straight double-doubles as they have now won five of their last six games. While Oklahoma City is battling with the Spurs for the top spot in the West and Dallas is chasing the Lakers for the final playoff spot and trail by three games. This contest is more important to the Mavs. Take DALLAS!

New York Knicks at Portland 10:30 ET Knicks + over Trailblazers- both of these clubs have seen better moments as the Knicks coming limping into Portland after getting pounded by 29 points by Golden State and 26 points by Denver. Carmelo Anthony is back in New York. Portland is now trailing the Lakers by 3.5 games for the final playoff spot and it doesn't look like they will be able to make up that ground unless the Kobe injury is serious. This one is about being 'professional.' I expect the Knicks to show up and possibly win this one outright. Take NEW YORK!

L.A. Lakers at Atlanta 7:30 ET Hawks + over Lakers- Ten days ago we used the Hawks as a Best Bet against this same streaking Lakers and Atlanta got the cash as an underdog in a 99-98 loss (point spread win) in Los Angeles against these Lakers. LA is now a season high three games over .500 and seem locked into making the playoffs. After facing the Heat last night this match-up will be a cakewalk for the Hawks. Take ATLANTA!

New Orleans at Brooklyn 7:35 ET Hornets + over Nets- The New Orleans Hornets have show the most in-season improvement of any other NBA team as they are 17-20 since Christmas after post a 5-22 start. The Nets who have has a season of ups and downs are a solid 10 games over .500 but have had too many disappointing efforts. Avery Johnson was coach of the month when the season started and then found himself without a job. With their effort still strong the Hornets get the cash. Take NEW ORLEANS!

Milwaukee at Sacramento 9:05 ET Kings over Bucks- This game is a virtual pick-em affair and well it should be as the Kings are 15-15 at home while the Bucks are 16-15 on the road while Sacramento is 16-14 when playing as hosts. Last night we posted Milwaukee as our 'highest rated' NBA Vegas Insiders winner and they responded with a huge win over Golden State. The Bucks are only 6-9 in the second of back-to back contests and will get caught here tonight. Take the KINGS!

Milwaukee at Golden State 10:30 ET Bucks + over Warriors- These two clubs pulled off one off the biggest NBA trades in the off season as Andrew Bogut was sent to Golden State for Monta Ellis one of the most exciting players in the NBA. Ellis is averaging 18.8 points per game Bogut has had injury issues. For some reason Milwaukee seems to get it 'up' for the Warriors and have won six of the last seven meetings. The beat goes on here...Take MILWAUKEE!

Atlanta at Boston 8:00 ET Hawks + over Celtics- How about the fact that the Boston Celtics are now six games over .500 for the first time this season and have four in a row. This all without Rajon Rondo as they are 13-4 since his season ending injury. The Hawks are seeded fifth right now in the NBA playoff hunt while the aging Celtics are in the seventh spot. These two split two games in Atlanta and this is their first meeting in Boston this season. Although, just one game apart the Hawks are still that much better. Take ATLANTA!
