Clippers @ Jazz 10:00 PM ET

Game# 582-583

Play On: Jazz -7.0 (5*)

The Clippers will be without the services of start Kawhi Leonard tonight who has been sidelined by a knee injury. As soon as the sportsbooks received that news, they immediately adjusted the line from Utah -2.5 to -7.0 and rightfully so. If not for Leonard’s gigantic performances in Games 6 and 7 of the Dallas series, the Clippers would be in the early stages of their offseason. The Jazz have displayed an extremely strong home court this season by going 35-6 SU and 26-14-1 ATS in Salt Lake. Utah will look to rebound from back-to-back losses in Philadelphia which evened the series at 2-2.

Any NBA Playoffs #1 or #2 seed (Utah) Game 5 home favorite of 2.5 to 8.0-points, and they’re coming off away underdog ATS losses in Games 3 and 4, and their Game 4 defeat came by 8 points or more, resulted in those home favorites going a perfect 12-0 SU&ATS since 1990. The average margin of victory came by 18.4 points per game. Bet on the Jazz minus the points for a 5* wager.

Hawks @ 76ers 7:30 PM ET

Game# 581-582

Play On: 76ers -7.0 (5*)

The 76ers missed a golden opportunity to take a stranglehold of this series in Game 4 when they blew an 18-point 2nd half lead and lost 103-100 which evened the series is at 2-2. However, Philadelphia is a perfect 8-0 SU&ATS in their last 8 as a home favorite of 10.5 or less following a loss, and they won those contests by 16.8 points per game. As a matter of fact, during the previous 2 seasons the 76ers have been arguably the best home team in the NBA. Throughout that time span, the 76ers are 62-10 straight up and 42-26-4 ATS when playing at home. Conversely, Atlanta is 0-6 SU&ATS since the 3rd week of March as an underdog of 3.5 or greater and they lost by a lopsided margin of 20.4 points per game. Bet on the 76ers minus the points for a 5* wager.

Phillies (Wheeler) @ Dodgers (Kershaw) 10:10 PM ET

Game# 963-964

Play On: Under 7.0 (10*)

Since 2018, Clayton Kershaw has made 3 starts versus the Phillies and had a superb 1.50 ERA and 0.94 WHIP during those outings. Kershaw has a solid 3.39 ERA and 0.97 WHIP in 14 starts this season.

Zack Wheeler has displayed excellent form over his last 7 starts while compiling a 1.39 ERA and 0.74 WHIP throughout that stretch. Wheeler has also pitched 7.0 or more innings in each of his last 5 and 8 of his previous 9 starts. His ability to pitch deep into games has been the best remedy for Philadelphia’s erratic bullpen from being exposed. Wheeler has made 3 starts against the Dodgers since 2018 and recorded an impressive 3.43 ERA and 0.90 WHIP during those outings. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 10* Top Play wager.

Game# 965-966

Play On: White Sox -132 (5*)

The White Sox are coming off a 3-0 home win over Tampa Bay and their lefthanded starting pitcher McClanahan last night. That now makes Chicago a remarkable 32-4 when facing lefthanded starting pitchers since the start of last season and they outscored their opponents by a decisive margin of 4.7 runs per game. Lucas Giolito is slated to be on the mound for Chicago. Giolito has shown terrific form during his last 3 starts versus Tampa Bay, collecting a 1.31 ERA and 0.82 WHIP in addition to lasting 7.0 innings during each of those outings. The White Sox bullpen has pitched well at home thus far in 2021. Lastly, the White Sox are an extremely profitable 20-5 this season as a money line favorite of -125 to -175. Bet on the White Sox for a 5* money line wager.

Reds (Mahle) @ Brewers (Peralta) 2:10 PM ET

Game# 953-954

Play On: Under 8.0 (5*)

The Reds Tyler Mahle is 7-1 in his roiad team starts this season and his terrific 1.44 ERA during those outings is a major reason for those successes. The often maligned Reds bullpen has been sharp over their last 7 games with a cumulative 3.05 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and 34 strikeouts in 20 2/3 innings.
