Arizona Diamondbacks at Atlanta Braves [7:35 PM ET]

Diamondbacks: Doug Davis makes his return to the starting rotation on Friday just six weeks and a day after undergoing surgery to remove a cancerous thyroid.

He is also unbeaten this year when pitching on grass with a 6-0 mark and 3.02 ERA.

The UNDER is 8-1 in LA's last 9 games overall.

Gavin has been a stud at home this year, recording a 2-0 record with a 2.08 ERA and 0.83 WHIP. The under has been a wise investment with Floyd on the mound, cashing six times in his eight starts.

San Antonio Spurs at Los Angeles Lakers [TNT | 9 PM ET]


Spurs: San Antonio will try not to let a 20-point blown lead hurt the team's psyche heading into Game 2 even though it has been difficult to deal with. The Spurs are still the defending NBA champions and just bounced back from an 0-2 series deficit to beat the Hornets for the first time in franchise history. "They're up 1-0 - the important thing for us is to not let the game linger," Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich said. San Antonio point guard Tony Parker noted that his team has proved doubters wrong before and is ready to bounce back in Game 2. "It's huge, obviously," Parker said. "We don't want to go down 0-2 because it's very difficult to come back. But we did come back (before)."

Spurs are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 road games.
The UNDER is 14-6-1 in San Antonio's last 21 games as an underdog.

PROJECTED SCORE: 93

Key Injuries - NONE

Lakers (-6.5, O/U 192.5): LA got an unexpected defensive boost from guard Sasha Vujacic in Game 1. Vujacic played a career playoff high 31 1/2 minutes and helped limit San Antonio's Manu Ginobili to just 13 points on 3-of-13 shooting. "He was good," Ginobili said. "He was on me, he was playing physical. I give him credit. I was not smart enough attacking the seams." Still, the Lakers are not taking their Game 1 performance for granted and will look to play the Spurs tough again in Game 2. "I don't think any defense is that good," LA star Kobe Bryant said. "I think it was a combination of them not shooting the ball well, not making shots they usually make, and us applying pressure."

Lakers are 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 games overall.
Lakers are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 home games.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 100
