NBA Playoffs 4/19

Lakers @ Grizzlies & Heat @ Bucks

Lakers @ Grizzlies
    Will Ja play? The question on every bettor’s mind right now. I don’t have the answer to that, however, I don’t care. This game is currently a Pick-em and I’m leaning toward the Grizzlies for a few reasons:

A.) Grizzlies at home in the Playoffs for a MASSIVE game 2
    You know that Memphis is gonna be poppin' for this game and that home atmosphere is a major advantage 

B.) This is a classic Can’t Lose game
    The Grizzlies know that if they drop this game the series could be pretty much over with the series shifting to L.A. for the next two games

C.) The Grizzlies have proved time and time again that they can win without JA
    They did it a bunch last season and they did it again this season during Ja’s “vacation”

The Pick: Grizzlies Moneyline

Heat @ Bucks
    Will Giannis Play? The question on every bettor’s mind right now. I don’t have the answer to that, however, I don’t care. The reason I don’t care is that I know for a FACT Jack Harlow’s favorite hooper Tyler Herro WILL NOT be playing tonight. The Heat came out white hot in the series opener shooting 60% from three and almost 60% from the floor. They’re bound to regress, while on the flip side, the Bucks shot an abhorrent 11-45 from 3-point-land (24.4%) and are bound to positively regress. I really like the Bucks at home to get a decisive win in a get-back game that shows the League “We’re in it to win it”. (Also I’m like 75% sure Giannis will play)

The Pick: Bucks -7.5
