MN/PHX Ov208.  l am expecting this team to crack 100 points for the first time in this series. These two teams played here in November and it was a 133-115 barn burner. They also met in Minny on April 14 and that game had 231 points, so it's not like they aren't capable of lighting things up. Also, since that 133-115 game on Nov. 15, the Suns have scored 105 or more points at home n 34 of 36 games.  I think the Suns break 110 and Min break 105 and this one gets about 220 points.

The Suns have struggled in the first two games of the series, failing to contain Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves' offense. However, they have been formidable at home all season and will look to turn the tide in Game 3, I don't think they will go on zero on this series.

The Pacers delivered a statement win in Game 2, showcasing their offensive firepower and defensive tenacity. Led by Tyrese Haliburton and Myles Turner, the Pacers dominated the game and will look to carry that momentum into Game 3.

Los Angeles produced a great game despite a close loss in game two on Tuesday. They retained a lead throughout the game until the final minutes. Furthermore, the Lakers have been effective on the offensive end and I think they should win tonight.

The Sixers have generally contained the Knicks attack because to their excellent defensive approach against Brunson. I anticipate that the Sixers will play better when they return home.

Orlando needs to win Game 3, and I have no doubt that it will happen when it plays at home tomorrow. Suggs was out of the Magic's lineup for almost the entirety of game two, but he's back in game three.

Yooo

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's leadership and the Thunder's collective effort will be instrumental in securing the win and asserting their dominance in the series. With the Pelicans missing their star player, the Thunder have a golden opportunity to take command of the series and advance with confidence.

Game 2 between the Heat and the Celtics is expected to be a one-sided affair, with the Celtics heavily favored to secure another victory. With their superior talent and depth, the Celtics are poised to exploit the Heat's weaknesses and cruise to victory.

With LeBron James and Anthony Davis back in the lineup, the Lakers boast a formidable offensive arsenal capable of challenging the Nuggets' defense. Additionally, the Nuggets' strong offensive game and the Lakers' defensive vulnerabilities suggest a high-scoring affair.

The Cavaliers secured a comfortable win in Game 1, but the Magic are expected to put up a tougher fight in the upcoming game. Despite having the potential to win, the Cavaliers might not cover the spread due to the Magic's improved performance.

With 43 points from their bench and a +84 from their three important bench substitutes in the first game, the Knicks demonstrated their depth supremacy. Although I don't anticipate McBride to score 21 points in a row off the bench, I do anticipate him to occasionally provide the Knicks with some much-needed firepower.

If Orlando can contain the Cavaliers' three-point shooters and maintain its own rebounding edge, it can win easily thanks to Paolo Banchero's physical presence inside the paint and Franz Wagner's ability to create opportunities for his teammates.

This season, the Lakers struggled against the Nuggets and lost all three matchups. These were not close contests. They lost the first game by 11 points, and the next two were all decided by eight points or more.

I think the Knicks will win game one. With Anunoby back at full strength and their two-headed center monster, Isaiah Hartenstein and Mitchell Robinson, both ready to go, the Knicks are coming in quite healthy.
