Bold predictions for tonight's three games.

In the 'daily predictions' page, you can search for our daily predictions on the NBA schedule: http://morningnba.blogspot.co.uk/p/daily-predictions.html. In yesterday's pick, we chose the Jazz vs. Warriors game to score under 209.5 points, and we were right as they only scored 193 points together. However, today's picks are a lot more and a lot harder because we have three crucial games ahead of us.

The Cleveland Cavaliers want to end their series tonight and get one good week of resting, while the Toronto Raptors want to challenge for a game the Cavaliers and make a statement to the world that they believe they can take one game away from the defending champs. We will not pick the winner of this game, even though the Cavaliers will probably advance the Conference Finals in just four games and have a good solid week of resting, and watching tape, so we will pick the 'over 209.5 points in the game'. A pick which we have been picking throughout this series, and so far have a 2/3 record.

Cleveland Cavaliers @ Toronto Raptors = Over 209.5 points

Game 3

The two biggest games of the day and the weekend include the Celtics going up against the Wizards in game 4, and the Spurs against the Rockets. In the Boston vs. Washington game, the Wizards want to tie the series at two games a piece and go back to Boston for a crucial game 5. John Wall and Bradley Beal will be without Kelly Oubre who got a one-game suspension, and it will be another type of motivation for the rest of the team, which they will get done, and they will tie the series tonight. So, our second pick is the Washington Wizards to win the game. John Wall has been the facilitator throughout this series, and these playoffs as well, he will continue tonight and get over 10.5 assists in the game, as another 'bold' prediction. He will attack early, get his teammates open, Marcin Gortat has to have a good game offensively, has to put the pressure on Horford, while Beal has to knock down some difficult guarded shots, which he is capable of making.

Game 3

John Wall over/under 10.5 assists = Over 10.5 assists

Finally, our last game in Texas and Houston going up at the Toyota Center, on their home court against the Spurs, in a crucial game 4 for them. They lost the first game at home; they cannot lose this game. Harden was attacking the paint in game 3 scored 43 points, but besides Capela, he did not have anyone else helping him offensively. Gordon has to make shots in game 4, Lou Williams has to find his rhythm, and the rest of the team has to provide some solid minutes off the bench for coach D'Antoni. It is a do or die game for the Rockets, because if they lose they will have to comeback from a 3-1 deficit, going back to San Antonio for game 5. Thus, we believe the Rockets like the Wizards tie the game up at two games a piece and put the pressure on the Spurs for game five back in San Antonio.

San Antonio Spurs @ Houston Rockets = Houston Rockets
