**********

Armadillo: Saturday's List of 13: Clearing out a cluttered mind……

13) Thinking about the NFL Draft and Baker Mayfield— I know there’s a lot more to it than just the QB, but Oklahoma Sooners averaged 8.29 yards/play last year, best in country. Next best was UCF at 7.46 yards/play. Sam Darnold’s USC offense was 15th on the list, at 5.56 yards/play.

12) Jets traded three #2 draft picks to move up from #6 to #3 in the draft, so everyone’s job is on the line when they make that selection in 12 days.

Guess it is odd that the Giants/Jets will be under intense scrutiny in a draft held in Dallas.

11) Atlanta Falcons games in 2017 went under the total by an average of 6.84 ppg, after a 2016 season whey went over the total almost every week.

Detroit Lions games went over by an average of 4.34 ppg, the most in the NFL.

10) Mets lost both their catchers to injury this week; Travis d’Arnaud tore his UCL, Kevin Plawecki broke his hand. When you’re excited about having Jose Lobaton on your roster, it is time to trade for a catcher.

9) Chick-fil-A is coming to New York City, which means it is only 148 miles from Armadillo World HQ. Actually, there is a Chick-fil-A in Albany Airport, but you have to go thru security to get to it, so only time I can eat there is when I fly to Las Vegas.

8) Dallas Cowboys sent WR Dez Bryant packing, which is what happens when you don’t run as fast as you used to. He has a reputation as a bad clubhouse guy; we’ll see where he catches on.

7) Paul Casey missed the cut at Harbourtown this week, ending his streak of 29 consecutive cuts made, which was the longest active streak on Tour.

6) Braves 4, Cubs 0— I know its early, I know the weather has mostly sucked so far, but Chicago is 6-7 and their lineup looks very bland. Anthony Rizzo is expected back next week

5) Much-improved baseball announcer; Braves’ TV guy Chip Caray has gotten so much better over the years; he is fun to listen to now. He is a little ornery about instant replay, but working with Joe Simpson, they’re a good team.

4) As the dust clears on Lonzo Ball’s rookie year in the NBA, we see that Ball averaged 10.2 ppg, 7.2 assists, 6.9 rebounds and 1.7 steals while shooting 36% from the floor, 30.5% from beyond the arc, while missing 30 of 82 games— he played 34.2 mpg in the 50 games he did play.

3) Seahawks signed Sebastian Janikowski to be their new kicker; he’ll see his old team Oakland next season. Raiders will see their old punter Marquette King twice a year since he is now a Denver Bronco.

2) Here in Albany, Siena gave basketball coach Jimmy Patsos $350K to take a hike after five years with the Saints. Patsos was 77-92 at Siena, 47-51 in MAAC games- he didn’t make the NCAA tournament. He did make the NCAA’s once in nine years as coach of Loyola, MD.

To get out of paying most of what they owed Patsos (he had 3 years left on his contract), the school dredged up some crummy things he did within the team— he was verbally abusive to a team manager, among other things.

Rumored replacements for Patsos: LeMoyne coach Patrick Beilein and Syracuse assistant Gerry McNamara.

1— White Sox-Twins in Minnesota was snowed out Friday night and prospects for Saturday don’t look so good, either. Why didn’t they put a retractable dome on their new ballpark, like Milwaukee did?

16 NBA Playoffs Betting Notes for 16 Championship Contenders
Monty Andrews

LeBron James posted his highest scoring average (27.5) since 2009-10 while setting career highs in assists (9.1) and rebounds (8.6); all while leading the league in minutes played.

Sixteen teams enter the weekend with the goal of winning an NBA championship - and while there are certainly some pretenders in the mix, there are a handful of teams that could walk away with the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy this June. That said, two teams stand out in oddsmakers' eyes: The Golden State Warriors are the favorite at +125 on Bet365, followed by the Houston Rockets at +160.

Here are the key betting notes for each of this year's 16 playoff participants:

Eastern Conference

Toronto Raptors

The Raptors (+850 to win the title) came oh-so-close to joining the 60-win club this season, and are a significant threat to win the conference title given how well they performed - particularly in blowouts. Toronto went a stunning 33-5 in games decided by 10 or more points, making them a solid double-digit margin play in prop betting. On the flip side, they were just 5-7 in games decided by three points or fewer, so perhaps you should avoid making a close-decision prop bet on Toronto.

Boston Celtics

The Celtics (+6,000) are the feel-good story of the season considering how many key injuries they've had to deal with - but their run could be a short one if they don't curtail the turnovers. Boston has the second-worst turnover rate (15.2) percent over the previous 15 games; that stretch coincides with Kyrie Irving's absence from the lineup. That, combined with the sixth-slowest pace in the league over that span, suggests that bettors should take the under on the Celtics team total.

Philadelphia 76ers

The 76ers (+2,000) stunned the basketball world by winning their final 16 games of the season to seize third place in the conference away from the Cleveland Cavaliers. Bettors should note that Philly was the second-best first-quarter team in the league, both in terms of points (29.4) and margin (plus-3.4). This makes the Sixers a terrific first-quarter prop option, as well as a terrific play in the race to 20 points - but avoid them in late-game live betting, as their minus-1.1 fourth-quarter scoring margin is 29th overall.

Cleveland Cavaliers

LeBron James might have had his best NBA season yet - at age 33, no less. The future Hall of Famer posted his highest scoring average (27.5) since 2009-10 while setting career highs in assists (9.1) and rebounds (8.6); all while leading the league in minutes played. And The King has saved his best for last, tying or exceeding his regular-season scoring average in six straight postseasons - so consider the over on James' single-game point props as he looks to lead the Cavs (+750) to their second NBA title.

Indiana Pacers

The Pacers made a living out of pulling out tight games during the regular season - and that bodes well for them in their first-round matchup against LeBron and the Cavs. Indiana went a sensational 11-2 in games decided by three or fewer points; the 11 victories tied Boston for the most in that category. If they can hang with Cleveland into the latter stages of the game, you'll likely get great odds on a Pacers live bet; consider, as well, that Indiana was a perfect 3-0 in overtime games this season.

Miami Heat

Some teams come out of the half-time break on fire (you'll read about one such club shortly); others absolutely do not. The Heat (+10,000) find themselves in the latter category, entering the playoffs as the second-worst third-quarter team in the league at a paltry 23.9 points per game. Not only does this make the Heat completely avoidable in the third-quarter winner props, it should also make bettors think twice about picking Miami to have the highest-scoring second half despite Philly's fourth-quarter struggles.

Milwaukee Bucks

The Bucks (+7,000) couldn't have drawn a better first-round opponent than the Celtics, at least in one critical area. Milwaukee has been on fire over the past 15 games, averaging a league-best 21.2 points off turnovers in that span; no other team in the NBA is above 20 points. Combined with the Celtics' turnover troubles over that same stretch, bettors should consider taking the Bucks against the spread - or even as a straight-up underdog, which they're sure to be in the first two games of the series.

Washington Wizards

The Wizards (+9,000) might have a psychological edge, having eliminated Toronto in first-round play in 2015, but will need to be on their best behavior to have a shot at another upset this year. Washington averages 21.3 personal fouls per game, good for 25th out of 30 NBA teams; they also rank 25th in foul rate per possession (19.3 percent). Toronto ranks fourth overall in free-throw success rate (79.4 percent) - and extra foul shots will make them an attractive over play in team total props action.

Western Conference

Houston Rockets

The Minnesota Timberwolves had better be ready from the opening tip - because the red-hot Rockets certainly will be. Houston enters the postseason as the team to beat, due in no small part to averaging a league-best 30 points in the opening quarter. They'll be an overwhelming favorite not only in the highest-scoring first-quarter prop - the Rockets' boasted an NBA-best plus-4.5 first-quarter scoring margin during the regular season - but also to win the race to 20 points. Bet both props confidently.

Golden State Warriors

Only two teams in the NBA averaged 30 or more points in a specific quarter - the Rockets in the opening stanze, and the Warriors in the 12 minutes preceding the half-time break. Golden State averaged 30.2 third-quarter points in 2017-18, making them a cinch as third-quarter winners against the overmatched Spurs. But consider taking the first quarter as the highest-scoring period overall; the Warriors averaged 29.0 points for (third overall) but surrendered 29.1 points against (most in the NBA).

Portland Trail Blazers

The Trail Blazers (+4,000) will need to be at their offensive best to keep up with a New Orleans Pelicans team that averaged nearly 112 points per game - and to do so, the Blazers have to fix some truly awful fourth-quarter long-range shooting woes. Portland enters its first-round encounter having connected on just 24 percent of its fourth-quarter 3-point attempts over the past 15 games. That makes the Blazers a no-go in 4Q scoring props, and as a live bet if they find themselves trailing late.

Oklahoma City Thunder

Extra possessions have a significant impact - not only in real-game situations, but in betting prop scenarios, as well. And when it comes to generating those extra possessions - and more scoring as a result - no team is more proficient than the Thunder (+3,300). Oklahoma City led the entire league in both points off turnovers (18.7 per game) and second-chance points (14.9); the Thunder also paced the NBA in offensive rebounding (12.5) and steals (5.0). Give OKC a second look when it comes to team point totals.

Utah Jazz

Everyone knows Russell Westbrook like to operate at a faster pace - and that was especially true down the stretch, as OKC ranked ninth in pace over the final 15 games of the season. But that should please the Jazz (+4,000) just fine - they finished second in the NBA in field-goal shooting early in the clock (18-22 seconds left) at 59.9 percent, and were fourth in 3-point shooting at 48.3 percent. If the pace picks up at some point in this series, over bettors are going to have a field day.

New Orleans Pelicans

No team played more overtime games than the Pelicans (+10,000) - and few were as successful in extra time, with the Pelicans going an impressive 7-2 en route to an unexpected playoff berth. Defense was the key for New Orleans in OT; they boasted a 93.9 defensive rating in the extra period this season, the third-best mark of any team to appear in at least five overtimes. It might not come up, but should the Pelicans take the Blazers to OT, they'll be a solid live bet.

San Antonio Spurs

The Spurs (+7,000) weren't able to extend their incredible streak of 50-win seasons, but their run of playoff appearances remains intact. That said, San Antonio isn't being given much of a chance against the powerhouse Warriors - though bettors should note that the Spurs boasted an incredible plus-7.4 scoring margin at home this season, compared to a minus-1.6 differential on the road. Taking the Spurs against the spread in Games 3 and 4 could pay handsomely.

Minnesota Timberwolves

Facing a team that launches 42 3-point attempts per game is a daunting task - but sometimes, the shots just don't fall. And the Timberwolves (+8,000) prefer to score a little closer to the basket, averaging a whopping 49.2 points in the paint - fourth-most in the league. With the Rockets having allowed 48 points in the paint during the regular season - the third-worst rate in the NBA - it's clear the T'Wolves have an edge here. Consider taking them against the spread, especially in Games 3 and 4 in Minnesota.

The one basketball betting trend you have to know for the NBA Playoffs
Jason Logan

Betting on NBA playoff teams down 0-2 to cover the first-half spread in Game 3 has produced a 64-32-7 ATS record in the postseason since 2007.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. And that’s what makes this particular NBA Playoffs betting trend so profitable.

If you ran in NBA betting circles on Twitter last spring, you may have stumbled upon this incredible postseason spot bet that’s been turning out 67 percent winners over the past 11 years.

The set-up is simple enough: when a NBA team falls behind 0-2 in a playoff series, bet on them to cover the first-half pointspread in Game 3.

If you did that in 2017, you would have walked away with a 9-3 ATS record. And if you were privy to this trend the past three postseasons, you’d be riding a 28-3 ATS windfall with that first-half situational system going 10-0 ATS in 2016 and 9-0 ATS in 2015. In fact, betting on a team down 0-2 to cover the first-half spread in Game 3 is 64-32-7 ATS in the NBA Playoffs since 2007.

The best part about this trend is that there’s a strong narrative to back it up. Unlike some betting trends, that have no rhyme or reason, basketball bettors can easily connect the dots when it comes to the motivation behind those trailing teams and the value that lies in their odds for the first 24 minutes of Game 3. That narrative is definitely not lost on bookmakers either.

"Flat out simple to understand, teams that are down 0-2 come out and play with far more desperation than they do for other games," Peter Childs, supervisor of risk management for Sportsbook.ag, told us during last year’s playoffs.

"Teams can't afford to go down 0-3, so in must-win spots like being down 0-2, they come out blazing. And for the team they're playing, they're up 2-0 in the series. They are fat and happy and don't come out with the same urgency as their counterparts."

Thanks to the lack of parity in the NBA, basketball bettors were blessed with this opportunity six times in the opening round of the playoffs last year, and three more times in the conference semifinals. It fizzled out in the conference finals and NBA Finals, which both saw three teams fall behind 0-2 but came up short versus the first-half spread in Game 3.

With the average juice on a first-half bet being -110, a $100 wager on each of those 103 qualified situations for this remarkable trend would have returned $2,304 in winnings since 2007. And looking at just the past three NBA postseason, followers of this first-half system would be up $2,218.

NBA bettors will want to keep an eye out for this situation to set itself up in the opening round of the playoffs, with action tipping off this weekend and Game 3’s scheduled for April 19, 20 and 21.

Saturday's NBA Playoffs betting preview and odds

The opening round of the 2018 NBA Playoffs tip off Saturday with four games on the schedule, including the defending champion Warriors taking on the Spurs and the super exciting 76ers looking to extend their 16 game winning streak over to the postseason in their opener against the Heat.

San Antonio Spurs at Golden State Warriors (-8, 206)

The San Antonio Spurs thought they had a chance to knock off the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference finals last season and held a big lead in Game 1 until superstar Kawhi Leonard went down with an ankle injury. Leonard will be missing again when the teams meet a couple rounds earlier this sping, but Golden State will also be down a man, with former MVP Stephen Curry expected to miss at least this series with a knee sprain.

ABOUT THE SPURS (47-35, 42, 38-2 ATS, 38-44 O/U): Second-year point guard Dejounte Murray found himself thrust into the rotation in the Western Conference finals last season after Tony Parker went down with an injury, but he is more comfortable now after spending most of 2017-18 as the starter. "It's a new year, new playoffs," Murray told reporters. "We've got to execute the game plan. Coach has a good game plan and we've got to go out - it's up to the players to execute the game plan. It's not going to be perfect, but we can still execute and get the best out of it." Murray adds some youth to a roster that leans heavily on the likes of Ginobili, Pau Gasol, age 37, Danny Green, 30, and Rudy Gay, 31.

ABOUT THE WARRIORS (58-24, 34-47-1 ATS, 39-43 O/U): Golden State is 17-14 this season in games missed by Curry, but the team will lean on All-Stars Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green in the first round. Durant, who dealt with a rib injury late in the regular season, averaged 26.4 points on 51.6 percent shooting and has the confidence of his teammates to lead the way. "We all want Steph to be here," Quinn Cook, who is starting in place of Curry, told reporters, "but it gives us so much confidence knowing that we have another one of the greatest players to ever play the game."

SERIES PRICE (PER PINNACLE):

BETTING ACTION AND LINE MOVES: The Warriors hit the board as low as -6.5 at some shops, but they were quickly moved to the current number of -8. According to William Hill US, the Warriors are seeing a slight majority of the tickets (54 percent), but its the Spurs who are seeing the slight edge in the money wagered (55 percent). The total has seen evn more movement. Since opening at 211, it has dropped five points to 206.

INJURY REPORT:

Spurs - SF K. Leonard (Out, quadricep).

Warriors - A. Iguodala (Probable, knee), PG S. Curry (Out, knee), SG P. McCaw (Out, back), SF C. Boucher (Out, ankle).

MATCHUP CHART:

TRENDS:

* Spurs are 0-7 ATS in their last seven road games.
* Warriors are 0-5 ATS in their last five home games.
* Over is 5-0 in Spurs last five road games.
* Over is 5-1 in the last six meetings in Golden State.
* Favorite is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings.

Washington Wizards at Toronto Raptors (-8, 211)

The Toronto Raptors set a franchise record for wins during the regular season and earned the top seed in the Eastern Conference for the first time in team history. The Raptors will set about trying to make the deepest postseason run in franchise history when they start by hosting the eighth-seeded Washington Wizards in Game 1 of their first-round series on Saturday.

ABOUT THE WIZARDS (43-39, 37-44-1 ATS, 36-44-2 O/U): Washington stumbled to the end of the regular season with losses in nine of the last 12 games to fall from contention for a top-four seed all the way down to eighth in the East. “If you look at the big picture, we’ve struggled this past 10 days or so,” Wizards coach Scott Brooks told reporters. "But prior to that, the story to me was that we battled and fought and put ourselves into playoff position, and we did it with John (Wall) missing half of the season. For some strange reason, we didn't finish the job. These last 10 or 12 days we’ve been up and down. We've let go of the rope a little bit." Wall missed over two months with a knee injury before returning on March 31 and he averaged 28.5 points and 13.5 rebounds over his last two games.

ABOUT THE RAPTORS (59-23, 43-38-1 ATS, 41-40-1 O/U): Toronto was swept in the first round by the Wizards in 2015 but is a different team now with only three players remaining from that squad, so it will try to avenge that loss and acheive another milestone, winning Game 1 of a first-round postseason series for the first time. "It's a phenomenon," Raptors coach Dwane Casey told reporters. "There is always that one hurdle you've got to overcome. That's the major one we've got to overcome. "It's got to be mental more than anything." All-Star point guard Kyle Lowry, who combined with fellow All-Star DeMar DeRozan to go 9-of-32 from the field in a Game 1 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks last spring, suggested the team approach Game 1 like a Game 7.

SERIES PRICE (PER PINNACLE):

BETTING ACTION AND LINE MOVES: The Raptors opened as 8-point home favorites at most books. They dropped to -7.5 at some shops, but are back to the opening number at most places. That being said, bettors are hammering the Wizards ATS according to William Hill US, who are seeing 68 percent of tickets and a whopping 94 percent of the dollars wagerd on this game. The total opened at 211.5 and has seen little movement, with the current number at 211.

INJURY REPORT:

Wizards - SF O. Porter Jr. (Questionable, calf), PF M. Scott (Questionable, concussion).

Raptors - PF S. Ibaka (Probable, mouth), C L. Nogueira (Questionable, hamstring), PG F. VanVleet (Questionable, shoulder), PF P. Siakam (Questionable, shoulder).

MATCHUP CHART:

TRENDS:

* Wizards are 1-7 ATS in their last eight road games.
* Raptors are 0-5-1 ATS in their last six home games vs. a team with a losing road record.
* Over is 9-3 in Wizards last 12 vs. Atlantic Division opponents.
* Under is 12-2 in the last 14 meetings in Toronto.
* Wizards are 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings in Toronto.

Miami Heat at Philadelphia 76ers (-6.5, 212)

The Philadelphia 76ers enter the postseason on a roll but will be without All-Star center Joel Embiid when they host the Miami Heat in Saturday's opening game of the Eastern Conference first-round series. Embiid missed the final eight games of the regular season with an orbital fracture but his absence didn't stop the 76ers from stretching their winning streak to a franchise-record 16 straight games.

ABOUT THE HEAT (44-38, 40-36-6 ATS, 37-44-1 O/U): All-Star point guard Goran Dragic missed the regular-season finale with a bone bruise in his right knee but indicated that he expects to be in the lineup for Saturday's opener. "I'm doing everything that I can," Dragic told reporters. "Probably, I'm going to feel it a little bit, but it's not going to bother me. That's the only thing that I'm about, I can play through the pain." Dragic leads the squad in scoring (17.3) and assists (4.8) and his fitness will be crucial as he will be called on to slow down standout Philadelphia rookie Ben Simmons.

ABOUT THE 76ERS (52-30, 47-33-2 ATS, 41-40-1 O/U): Simmons recorded 10 or more assists on 10 occasions during Philadelphia's 16-game winning streak and he averages 15.8 points, 8.2 assists and 8.1 rebounds. He recorded 12 triple-doubles, second all-time among rookies behind legendary Oscar Robertson (26 in 1960-61) and either Simmons or Utah guard Donovan Mitchell will win Rookie of the Year honors. The 76ers have fared well without Embiid's 22.9 points and 11 rebounds and that impressed coach Brett Brown with one disclaimer - "I feel like what we've been doing without Joel is good, but what you should hear completely the loudest is that I can't wait for him to get back," Brown told reporters.

SERIES PRICE (PER PINNACLE):

BETTING ACTION AND LINE MOVES: The Sixers hit the board as 6.5-point home favorites and have been bet as high as -7.5 before returning to the opening number. The total opened at 210 and is up two points to 212. Bettors like the 76ers in this spot, with Philly seeing 75 percent of the tickets and 86 percent of the money for Game 1.

INJURY REPORT:

Heat - PG G. Dragic (Probable, knee), C H. Whiteside (Questionable, undisclosed), SG D. Waiters (Out, ankle).

76ers - SG J. Reddick (Questionable, back), C J. Embiid (Doubtful, eye), SG T. Luwawu-Cabarrot (Out, knee).

MATCHUP CHART:

TRENDS:

* Heat are 8-3-3 ATS in their last 14 games following an ATS win.
* 76ers are 6-0 ATS in their last six games playing on two days rest.
* Over is 9-3 in Heat last 12 road games.
* Under is 6-0 in 76ers last six games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game.
* Home team is 6-1-1 ATS in the last eight meetings.

New Orleans Pelicans at Portland Trail Blazers (-5.5, 217)

Five-time All-Star Anthony Davis has never been part of a postseason victory during his stellar career and he looks to change that fact when the New Orleans Pelicans open their Western Conference first-round series on Saturday against the host Portland Trail Blazers.

ABOUT THE PELICANS (48-34, 45-36-1 ATS, 47-35 O/U): Sixth-seeded New Orleans won its final five games of the regular season and recorded its third-highest victory total (48) in franchise history, and the prime reason is the 25-year-old Davis, the star power forward who averaged 28.1 points, 11.1 rebounds and 2.6 blocked shots. The Pelicans were swept in four games by the Golden State Warriors in 2015 in Davis' lone previous playoff experience, where he averaged 31.5 points, 11 rebounds and three blocked shots. New Orleans persevered despite a season-ending injury to All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins with Holiday (career-high 19-point average) among the players who picked up the scoring slack.

ABOUT THE TRAIL BLAZERS (49-33, 45-32-5 ATS, 35-47 O/U): Having homecourt advantage is big for a Portland team that won 21 of its last 24 home contests and is supremely confident inside the Moda Center. The Trail Blazers are hoping center Jusuf Nurkic will be up to the task of slowing Davis while also building on his career-best averages of 14.3 points and nine rebounds to go along with a career-high 27 double-doubles. Shooting guard CJ McCollum (21.4) is a strong scoring complement to Lillard but his second-worst outing of the season came against the Pelicans just two-plus weeks ago, when he tallied seven points on 3-of-19 shooting.

SERIES PRICE (PER PINNACLE):

BETTING ACTION AND LINE MOVES: The Blazers opened as 5.5-point home favorites at most books and that's where the number remains as of Friday night. The total also hasn't seen much movement, currently sitting at the opening number of 217. While the Pelicans are seeing a slight edge in tickets written (52 percent) according to William Hill US, the Blazers are seeing a good majority of the money (67 percent).

INJURY REPORT:

Pelicans - C A. Ajinca (Out, knee), PG F. Jackson (Out, foot), C D. Cousins (Out, achilles).

Blazers - SF M. Harkless (Out, knee), SG C. Wilcox (Out, knee).

MATCHUP CHART:

TRENDS:

* Pelicans are 5-0 ATS in their last five games overall.
* Trail Blazers are 14-3 ATS in their last 17 games vs. a team with a winning SU record.
* Under is 7-2-1 in Pelicans last 10 games vs. a team with a winning SU record.
* Over is 6-1 in Trail Blazers last seven games following a ATS win.
* Favorite is 10-3 ATS in the last 13 meetings.

NBA Playoffs 4-point play: Best ways to bet today’s NBA odds

The NBA Playoffs are here and there are a number of statistics and betting trends that have us going hmmmmm….

For instance:

The road has not been kind to the San Antonio Spurs this season. The Spurs went 15-24-2 against the spread away from the AT&T Center and 3-16 ATS as road underdogs. San Antonio averaged 5.5 fewer points per game when it was on the road compared to when it played on its home floor.

The Golden State Warriors, meanwhile, are 14-5 against the spread when giving 9.5 or fewer points at home in the playoffs since 2015. Oddsmakers have the Dubs as 8-point home favorites against the Spurs in Game 1 Saturday.

Here are three other betting need-to-know angles we have our eyes on for the first day of the 2018 NBA Playoffs.

Raptors Game 1 struggles

The Toronto Raptors are 1-12 straight up and 2-11 against the spread in Game 1 of the 13 NBA playoff series they’ve been a part of. Even worse, the Dinos are 0-7 SU and ATS in Game 1 of playoff matchups in the Kyle Lowry/DeMar DeRozan era.

Be on the lookout for player props for Bradley Beal in this series. The Wizards shooting guard averaged 28.8 points in four games against the Raptors this season – which was his highest average against an Eastern Conference opponent. He averaged 22.6 points per game on the campaign overall and his Over/Under point total for Saturday's Game 1 is set at 22.5 (Over -120).

Sixers pushing the pace

Joel Embiid doesn’t sound like he’ll be playing in Game 1 of the Philadelphia 76ers-Miami Heat series because of his facial injury but he's expected to return to the Sixers’ lineup at some point during the first round of the playoffs.

Philly enters the postseason riding a 16-game winning streak with nine of those victories coming with Embiid missing all or most of the game. The 76ers are Ben Simmons’ team without Embiid on the floor and the rookie point forward likes to push the pace.

Philadelphia averaged three more possessions per 48 minutes without Embiid on the floor after the All-Star break and played with the fastest tempo in the Association over the final 15 games of the regular season.

The Game 1 total (212) is the lowest Over/Under line in a Sixers game since March 13th.

Pelicans soar in clutch situations

The Pelicans outscored their opponents after the All-Star break by 20.6 points per 100 possessions in clutch situations. Clutch is defined as any point with five or fewer minutes left in the fourth quarter or overtime and the game score separated by five or fewer points.

It might be worth taking a flyer on the Pelicans if they’re down a few buckets in the fourth quarter and are paying a decent return on the live in-game board.

And don’t forget about playoff Rondo for all you player prop bettors. Rajon Rondo hasn’t seen much action in postseason games over the last few years but it’s apparent he ratchets up his game to another level this time of the year.

He was a big part of the reason the Bulls went 2-0 up on the No. 1 seed Boston Celtics in the first round of the playoffs last spring. Rondo averaged 11.5 points, 10 assists, 8.5 rebounds and 3.5 steals in two games before picking up an injury that kept him out for the rest of the series against Boston. Rondo's points/rebounds/assists prop total is set at 23.5 (Over -120) for Game 1 Saturday.
