NBA picks is going to take the favored Orlando Magic -4 points against the Boston Celtics from game 5 of their NBA playoff series.
This Eastern conference playoff game will tip from Orlando on Wednesday at 8:30PM Eastern Time and you can watch it on ESPN.
This is a quick turnaround as the teams played an overtime game in Boston on Monday night.
Doc Rivers played Paul Pierce and Ray Allen heavy minutes in the overtime game and I expect the younger Magic team to have the energy advantage.
The schedule does not favor the Celtics as the teams will travel after each game and have just 1 days rest between games now.
I expect Doc Rivers to limit minutes for his starters in game 5 and play for the series clincher at home in game 6. Orlando big in game 5.

I expect the Lakers to bounce back following their loss on Sunday night. The Lakers out rebounded the Suns by 10 boards but gave away the game with a series high 17 turnovers.
The Lakers will adjust and have an answer for the Suns zone. Take the favorite tonight.

They will tip this game from Boston at 8:30PM Eastern Time with national television coverage provided by ESPN TV.
After being embarrassed by the Celtics in game 3 look for the Magic pride to show in game 4. Dwight Howard was way off his game as well as their shooters.
Orlando has shot 37.4% from the three point line and has been as cold as ice in the first three games of this series. Facing elimination I expect their best foot forward in this contest. Orlando covers this inflated spread.

The Suns are having difficulty defending the length and size of the Lakers. LA has shot lights out in this series and the Suns just dont possess enough size to stop them.
The Lakers inside outside game is working as good as it has all season. Phoenix can’t stop this freight train. Take the road underdog in game 3.

They tipoff this NBA playoff game from Boston at 8:30PM Eastern Time and you can watch it on ESPN TV.
The layoff here will help the Orlando Magic. This team has been way off sync as they face a superior opponent in the Celtics after no tests in their first two series against the Bobcats and Hawks.
Stan Van Gundy will tune this team for it’s best performance on Saturday. The Magic will raise their game and will work the the ball effectively and get back into form.
Van Gundy hits the tape and gets his team to respond to make this a series.

NBA picks is taking the side of the Phoenix Suns +7 1/2 points against the LA Lakers from game 2 of their playoff series on Wednesday.
They tip off game 2 from Staples Center in Los Angeles at 9PM Eastern Time and you can watch it on TNT TV.
I expect the Suns to make adjustments in game 2 and go with a small lineup. Suns head coach Alvin Gentry will pull out the tape of the Jazz and Lakers series and see how a smaller lineup can be more competitive against the size of the Lakers. The Suns must force Kobe to work on the defensive end to help slow down his offensive production. The Suns cover this number.

NBA picks is selecting the side of the underdog Boston Celtics +7 points against the Orlando Magic from game 2 of their best of 7 Eastern conference playoff series.
They tip off from Orlando at 8:30PM Eastern Time and you can watch it on ESPN TV.
The Celtics are playing outstanding defense and rotating on Dwight Howard when he gets the ball inside. Howard when facing good front lines has struggled in this post season as we saw in the Charlotte series.
The Celtics depth will carry them to a game 2 cover in this game. We saw just 2 of Boston’s big four have good games and that was good enough in game 1.
Kendrick Perkins effective defense on Dwight Howard is the difference here. Take the underdog in game 2.

NBA picks is selecting the Phoenix Suns +6 1/2 points against the LA Lakers from game 1 of the Western Conference playoffs on Monday night.
They start this game 1 from Staples Center in Los Angeles at 9PM Eastern Time and you can watch it on TNT TV.
The Lakers health may come into question in game 1 as Kobe Bryant had fluid drained from his knee and has been unable to practice. The Lakers had problems with the Thunder’s speed in the first round.
The Suns are always their best with rest and with the sweep of the Spurs in round 2 they will come out fast. Take the underdog tonight.

Look for Lebron James with big help from his supporting cast to step up and force a game 7 in this series. Head coach Mike Brown will treak his lineup and distribute minutes to the players that will give him the best chance to win as the Cavaliers face elimination.
Lebron brings the game we saw in game 3 in Boston tonight.
