Indiana Pacers vs. Miami Heat Game 2 Free NBA Pick
Indiana did everything right to put itself in position to steal a win on the road in Game 1, but still came up just short in a 103-102 overtime loss as a 7.5-point underdog. The total went way OVER the 181.5-point line. This unexpected shootout for a Pacers’ team that averaged just 92 points in its first 12 playoffs games proved that it can stand toe-to-toe with Miami. However, the key to stealing a win on Friday night will be to quickly get this heart-breaking loss out of their head.

Indiana returns to action this Wednesday night in Game 1 of the best-of-seven Eastern Conference Finals against a team that it beat two of three times in the regular season both straight-up and against the spread.

Miami Heat vs. Chicago Bulls Game 3 Free NBA Pick
The defending champions dominated the regular season with the best record in the NBA and rolled over Milwaukee in four games in the opening round of the playoffs, so nobody was more stunned than the Heat themselves when they dropped Game 1 of this series 93-86 as 12.5-point favorites at home.
Chicago Bulls vs. Miami Heat Game 1 Free NBA Pick
Chicago’s stay in the postseason was expected to be a short one as an underdog in its opening round series against Brooklyn, but after building a surprising 3-1 lead it hung on to win with a 99-93 victory in this past Saturday’s Game 7 as a seven-point underdog on the road. The Bulls went 3-4 against the spread in that series with the total going OVER in five of the seven games.

Boston Celtics vs. Miami Heat Free NBA Pick
Boston has pretty much settled into the seventh playoff spot in the Eastern Conference with a 2.5-game gap with sixth-place Chicago and Atlanta and a three-game lead over Milwaukee, which is in eighth. It has gone just 2-4 straight-up and 1-5 against the spread in its last six games which is not the best form to have heading into the postseason.

The Bucks still find themselves below .500 on the year both straight-up at 37-39 and against the spread at 34-42, but they finally locked-up the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference this past Saturday night. A 100-83 romp over Toronto as six-point home favorites sealed the deal but it was just their third victory SU and ATS in their last 10 games. The total stayed UNDER the 202.5-point line against the Raptors and it has now stayed UNDER in four of their last seven games.

Alas, the men that Head Coach Erik Spoelstra will throw out there are still going to clearly be the superior team on the court against the Charlotte Bobcats on Friday night.
