The playoffs went very well, so let's take a look at some of the juiciest games and how NBA teams are going.
Western Conference
The most attractive showdown in the West is definitely the Lakers and the Timberwolves.
Despite star player Luka Doncic's 37 points, the Wolves took over the Lakers' dominance in Game 1 and won the victory in front of the home crowd in Los Angeles.
However, in Game 2, the Lakers won a game with a 94-85 victory, thanks to 52 combined points from Luca and LeBron James.
Minnesota's Game 3 will be essential and has great value to the NEDS.

The Nuggets and Clippers series are beginning to heat up. Lac will win the series after Kawhi lost 39 points in Game 2 before Denver's disappointed Denver crowd. Definitely worth a look.
Other series of attention from the West include the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Memphis Grizzlies.
OKC's biggest first game win ever after defeating the Grizzlies 131-80. Then in the second game, Thunder continued to dominate.
It's hard to see the Grizzlies crossing the thunder, especially after the first game, but they may have won one or two wins in the series.
Eastern Conference
Boston is a favorite for the NBA season and is a favorite to eliminate the East. The Celtics stood out in the first game, despite 36 points from Paolo Banchero.
Jaylen Brown covers Orlando before tipping his mic teammates.
“They're magic, but they know who really got the magic here, without Harry Potter.”
Orlando is expected to have a fight, but Boston is too strong in Game 3 and overall series.
Odds – Boston and Magic – Head
$1.50 – Celtic / $2.60 – Magic

The Cavaliers worked enthusiastically in Game 1 and stopped fighting back in Game 2. We also like their opportunities for improvement. It turns out that their offense is hard to contain an eight-seeded Miami who missed another All-Star match with Tyler Herro since Jimmy Butler left.
