Celtics to Go Two Up

Boston and Orlando go head-to-head at TD Garden in game two of their playoff series. After winning on home ground in game one, Celtics are looking for a 2-0 lead over Magic.

Orlando were too hold to handle last weekend, securing a comfortable 103-86 victory at TD Garden. A win on Wednesday will see Celtics take control of the series before the first fixture in Florida.

Brad Stevens’ boys are strong at home and are the red-hot favourites to get the victory in midweek. We fancy the hosts to win -14.5 at 2.18.

Cavaliers to Come Out on Top

Cleveland and Miami meet again when the pair lock horns in Ohio on Wednesday night. Cavaliers finished top of the Eastern Conference in the regular season, and Kenny Atkinson’s men will fancy their chances in the playoffs.

Cleveland got their campaign underway with an easy 21-point victory over Heat at Rocket Arena, running out 121-100 winners on the night. Donovan Mitchell was the hero, scoring 30 points for the top seeds.

As expected, Cavaliers have been tipped to beat Miami at home again, and Atkinson’s troops could cruise to another victory. We are backing the home team to win -16.5 at 2.54.

Knicks to Win First Meeting in Illinois

On Thursday night, Detroit and New York continue their playoff series with the third game at Little Caesars Arena in Illinois. Pistons edged the last contest, but can Knicks get revenge?

Both sides have picked up a win each in this playoff series. New York won 123-112 at Madison Square Garden in game one, but Detroit responded with an outstanding 100-94 victory in the Garden on Monday.

With this one taking place in Detroit, Pistons are the favourites. However, our money is going on a Knicks win (1.87).

New York Knicks Win – 1.87
