Predicting Today's games! Includes player performances.

In Detail 

What a day for the NBA! Sunday evening, we have two really great matchups to watch. Starting with game 1 of the Boston Celtics who take on the Washington Wizards in the second round of the Eastern Conference, (1 pm ET - ABC) and finishing with the Los Angeles Clippers take on the Utah Jazz, in a game 7. (3.30 pm ET - ABC). So, as one can understand, many options regarding our predictions, and our betting options for today's games.

Starting off with the first game on today's schedule, the Boston Celtics going up against the Wizards in game 1 of the eastern conference semis. In our preview in yesterday's article, we previewed the great offenses of the two teams, but also their mediocre defense. Defensive rebounding can be a problem for both teams, however since the beginning of the season, and the first round of the playoffs, defensive rebounding is a huge issue for the Celtics. However, it's game 1 of the semis, and we have many different options to choose from, including player's performances.

Moreover, our first prediction is Beal's big game offensively. Even though he will be guarded by one of the greater guard defenders in the league, in Avery Bradley, Beal will take many shots, as John Wall will try to feed him early on in the game, and thus Beal will get buckets, and score more than 22.5 points. Moving on, Isaiah Thomas is expected to play in game 1, despite having his emotions spill out, as he is dealing with tough times, and will be huge for the Celtics. Our prediction is that he will score more than 26.5 points in the game, and will be the X-factor of the game. Finally, due to the great offenses of both teams, another great betting prediction is the over 209.5 points in the game.

Game 6

Following the Celtics/Wizards matchup, on the west coast, we have the Clipper taking on the Jazz in a game 7, at the Staples Center. The intention will be high as ever, while both teams will fight for a spot in the western conference semis against the Warriors. Chris Paul had some incredible performances in some games against the Jazz this series and will be the X-factor of today's game as well. It can be really hard to predict stand out player performances in a game 7 in the NBA; however, we will give out an option for you to choose on one particular player who we think can have an impact offensively and that's, of course, Chris Paul scoring over 24.5 points. When it matters the most, Chris Paul shows up. He wants to advance to the semis to get another shot on the Warriors, he has to make his team show up as well, but he will be the primary scorer today leading his team to the second round of the playoffs.

This prediction led to our final prediction of the day. A day with five different betting prediction that you can choose the ones you like, agree and bet it online. Because Chris Paul wants another shot at the Warriors and due to the thrilling victory in Utah that caused the game 7, the Clippers will come on top and will advance to the second round of the playoffs. Game 7 goes to the Clippers who advance.

Our options: 

• Isaiah Thomas over 26.5 points 
• Bradley Beal over 22.5 points 
• Washington Wizards @ Boston Celtics = Over 209.5 points
• Chris Paul over 24.5 points
• Utah Jazz @ Los Angeles Clippers = Clippers to advance
