While my NBA season has been a "push," I continue to be very strong in my top plays, 3-0 on my 3* plays and 3-2 on the 2*'s (college included). My play for Saturday is one I almost made a 4* and I would urge playing it now as there are reasons the line will move up.

A very strong NBA angle is to play home teams down 2-0 when they come home for game three. This applies only to rounds two and three. It's already 2-0 this year with wins by the Magic and Spurs. (Utah applies tonight but the line is too high for me.) Lebron is almost certain to have a blowout game after two pathetic perforamnces in Boston. Even with James missing every shot he was taking, Cleveland almost won game one with great defense and played hard while getting thrashed Thursday night. Boston has not been dominant so far in the playoffs, needing seven games to dispose of the Hawks and almost losing game one of this series. The Celts are very vulnerable here because of the motivation factor. Teams that are down 2-0 are desperate and tend to play great fourth quarters. This angle is useless in round one because the talent levels aren't that close. Once you get to the final eight, the talent is closer and motivation becomes more important. In all three of the previous sitations this year (Orlando Wednesday, San Antonio Thursday and Utah Friday), the line has moved up radically on the home team as everybody knows about this angle. I would suggest playing this game now as it could move to 2 1/2 by Saturday evening.
