Boston Celtics vs. Milwaukee Bucks Preview and Predictions 04-22-2018

21st April 2018 by Gracenote
the milwaukee bucks clamped down defensively to get back into their first-round series with the boston celtics, and they'll try to even the best-of-seven matchup at two wins apiece when the teams play game 4 in milwaukee on sunday. after allowing an average of 116.5 points in the first two games at boston - one of which did go to overtime - the seventh-seeded bucks held the celtics to 40 percent shooting and forced 18 turnovers in friday's 116-92 game 3 win.

"the activity, if you take the stat sheet out of it, the activity and the energy that we brought ... as you go through the game, that's what you need, is the energy first," interim coach joe prunty told reporters. the bucks were no slouch at the other end of the floor while shooting 57 percent and making 16-of-33 3-pointers. the halftime score was 58-35 in favor of the hosts and second-seeded boston knows it needs a better start to avoid going back home tied 2-2. "we got into a hole. this is new for our group," forward al horford - who scored a team-high 16 points - told the media. "they had it going ... and we really didn't have an answer for them tonight."
tv: 1 p.m. et, abc
about the celtics: with three young players - jaylen brown, jayson tatum and terry rozier - making their first career starts in a road playoff game, jitters and anxiety seemed to play a role as boston fell behind 27-12 after the first quarter. "i think that we learned that the level - the intensity - that is playing in the playoffs on the road (is heightened)," horford said. "i feel like it was just a different level of intensity and we all saw it. we felt it." the trio combined to go 11-for-27 from the floor in the loss but they committed just one turnover combined after the opening quarter.
about the bucks: jabari parker managed only two points on 1-of-7 shooting in the two losses at boston, but he recovered in a big way back home with 17 points, five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and a steal off the bench in game 3. "jabari's a special talent, man," point guard eric bledsoe told the media. "all he's got to do is stick with it. not get too high, not get too low. he played phenomenal tonight. we need him to play like that from here on out." giannis antetokounmpo had his streak of consecutive 30-point playoff games snapped at four but he was 8-of-13 from the floor and is shooting 62.7 percent while averaging 28 points in the series.
buzzer beaters

1. milwaukee is shooting 54.8 percent in the series, compared to 45.1 percent for boston.

2. bucks backup c thon maker had 14 points and five blocked shots in game 3 while starting c john henson sat with a sore back.

3. horford is averaging 18.7 points in the series while making 3-of-5 3-pointers and 15-of-17 free throws.

Golden State Warriors vs. San Antonio Spurs Preview and Predictions 04-22-2018

21st April 2018 by Gracenote
the golden state warriors cruised to wins in each of the first three games in the first round of the western conference playoffs and will look to sweep the san antonio spurs out of the postseason for the second straight year on sunday. the warriors, who visit san antonio for game 4, knocked the spurs out in the western conference finals last spring and are trying to do the same two rounds earlier this time around.

golden state watched kevin durant and shaun livingston exit late in game 3 after rolling ankles - neither injury is considered serious - and is still missing all-star stephen curry (knee), so taking care of business in game 4 is the priority. "we want to not come back, limit our road travel and expand our time to rest so we can get our best guys healthy, like steph (curry), kd and shaun," shooting guard klay thompson told reporters. "that's our motivation." the spurs were without head coach gregg popovich in game 3 and he is expected to miss game 4 as well following the death of his wife, erin, but the team was not about to use the emotional situation as an excuse for the 110-97 game 3 setback. "as a team, this is my answer," interim head coach ettore messina told reporters. "individually, i guess any different individual is going through his own personal things, and it's impossible for me to evaluate that. i think everybody did a fantastic job as players, as people working in the organization, the staff, of really trying to support each other and face this moment like it should be faced -- to support a friend."

tv: 3:30 p.m. et, abc

about the warriors: golden state is limiting san antonio to an average of 96.7 points in the series, and the defensive effort of all-star forward draymond green is the key. "he's been fantastic, defensively," warriors coach steve kerr told reporters of green. "he's been all over the place. this is a team that you have to disrupt. they're excellent with their execution ... and draymond is as good as anybody i've ever seen in terms of recognizing a play and blowing it up." offensively, golden state is leaning on durant (an average of 27.3 points in the series) and thompson, who is shooting 63.3 percent from the floor and 65 percent from beyond the arc while averaging 25.7 points through the first three games.

about the spurs: all-star lamarcus aldridge is trying to carry the team in the continued absence of superstar small forward kawhi leonard, who is away from the team while rehabbing a quad injury, and he turned in his second straight double-double with 18 points and 10 rebounds in game 3. aldridge is trying to find some help on the offensive end, and veteran point guard tony parker came off the bench and enjoyed his best game of the series with 16 points in 17 minutes on thursday. fellow point guard patty mills is stepping up as well and averaged 17.5 points in the last two games after scoring five points in game 1.

buzzer beaters

1. curry began participating in limited practice with the team on saturday and will be reevaluated in a week.

2. san antonio sg manu ginobili went scoreless on 0-of-5 shooting in game 3 after averaging 9.5 points in the first two contests.

3. green recorded four blocks in game 3 - his most since swatting four at portland on feb. 14.

prediction: warriors 106, spurs 101

Toronto Raptors vs. Washington Wizards Preview and Predictions 04-22-2018

21st April 2018 by Gracenote
the washington wizards decided to get physical with the toronto raptors in game 3 and it worked, giving the wizards a chance to even their best-of-seven first-round series when the teams meet for game 4 in the nation's capital on sunday. in a game that featured five technical fouls and plenty of chippy action, the eighth-seeded wizards routed the raptors 122-103 on friday to pull within 2-1 in the series.

"they came out and punched us," toronto coach dwane casey - whose team averaged 122 points in two victories at home to start the series - told reporters. "and we allowed them to." john wall and bradley beal scored 28 points apiece for washington, which shot 55.3 percent overall and scored at least 30 points in each of the first three quarters. the top-seeded raptors received 23 points from demar derozan and 19 points and eight assists from kyle lowry but their vaunted bench struggled to shoot 10-for-29 with none of the seven reserves scoring in double figures. that unit is usually led by backup guard fred vanvleet, but he missed his second game in the series due to a bruised shoulder and is considered day-to-day.

tv: 6 p.m. et, tnt, sportsnet one (toronto), nbcs washington

about the raptors: derozan and lowry combined for eight of toronto's 18 turnovers and they know that taking care of the basketball is paramount against a team that likes to run. "we didn't take care of the ball at all. that was the game," derozan said. "they fed off that. they got out in transition, where they're at their best, and it killed us." serge ibaka, who scored 23 points in game 1, was held to three points on 1-of-4 shooting in the loss while committing three turnovers, his highest total in that category in a span of 14 games.
about the wizards: beal, who averaged 28.8 points in four meetings with the raptors during the regular season, produced a total of 28 through the first two games of the series before breaking out friday. "brad came in and played well," coach scott brooks told the media. "we needed him. i took a lot of the blame talking to him that i needed to get him involved more, and we did that early in the game, and it paid off." wall added 14 assists in the rout and he is averaging 26.7 points, 12.7 assists and 2.7 steals in the series.

buzzer beaters

1. wizards pf mike scott is 18-of-24 from the field in the series, including 6-of-7 from 3-point range.

2. derozan is averaging 25.7 points in the series and has made 6-of-14 3-pointers.

3. washington c marcin gortat had 16 points on 8-of-10 shooting in game 3 after being held scoreless in 12 minutes of game 2.

prediction: raptors 110, wizards 108

Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Indiana Pacers Preview and Predictions 04-22-2018

21st April 2018 by Gracenote
the indiana pacers battled back from a 17-point deficit to win game 3 of their first-round, eastern conference playoff series over the cleveland cavaliers, and the momentum is entirely in their locker room moving forward. the pacers will try to take advantage of that momentum and push the advantage to 3-1 when they host the cavaliers in game 4 on sunday.

indiana, led by small forward bojan bogdanovic, stunned cleveland at both ends of the floor in the second half of friday's game 3 and held the cavaliers to 33 points after the break. "i just thought their physicality," cleveland coach tyronn lue told reporters. "denying the basketball, getting into us so when we catch the ball we're back on our heels. the pressure. i thought it just hurt us." the cavaliers were 40-0 when taking a lead into the fourth quarter this season prior to friday, and pacers coach nate mcmillan was not surprised that his team was able to battle back. "there's been a lot of fight in these guys all season long," mcmillan told reporters. "we've been in that situation at half where we've been down or we haven't played our best basketball and they come out and just continue to fight, continue to scrap."

tv: 8:30 p.m. et, tnt, fs ohio (cleveland), fs indiana

about the cavaliers: superstar lebron james often finds himself on an island with inconsistent production from his teammates, and he was one of three cleveland players to score in double figures in game 3 while finishing with 28 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists. james is 12-0 in his career in first-round playoff series and is trying to instill a sense of urgency in the cavaliers. "it's the postseason," james told reporters. "every game is a must win. you want to come in and play well and win no matter what. no matter if you have homecourt advantage or if you're starting on the road, that's the mindset you have to have."
about the pacers: bogdanovic scored a season-high 30 points on 11-of-15 shooting and went 7-of-9 from beyond the arc, including a four-point play late in the fourth quarter, while playing solid defense against james. "he did an excellent job," indiana swingman lance stephenson, who often finds himself matched up against james, told reporters of bogdanovic. "i'll give him a 100 on the test. he did a good job on lebron and hit open shots. attacked. we've seen he could do that throughout the season, but for him to do that in the playoffs is amazing. bogey manned up." indiana held the cavaliers to an average of 90 points in the first three games.

buzzer beaters

1. pacers all-star sg victor oladipo is 3-of-16 from 3-point range in the last two games after going 6-of-9 in game 1.

2. cleveland pg george hill scored 13 points in game 3, matching his total from the first two contests.

3. indiana pf thaddeus young is shooting 65 percent from the floor in the series and totaled six steals in the last two games.

Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Philadelphia Flyers Preview and Predictions 04-22-2018

21st April 2018 by Gracenote
the philadelphia flyers extended their eastern conference first-round series by defeating the penguins in pittsburgh for the second time in three games. the flyers, who find themselves trailing 3-2 in the series, aim to once again stave off elimination in game 6 on sunday afternoon against a penguins club that has outscored the hosts 20-4 at wells fargo center this season.

"the crowd plays a big role, especially in the playoffs," said philadelphia center and selke trophy finalist sean couturier, who returned from a one-game absence due to a lower-body injury to score the go-ahead goal with 1:15 remaining in the third period of friday's 3-2 win. the flyers aim to avert an 0-3 postseason performance for the second time in 20 years against pittsburgh, which has posted wins in philadelphia with lopsided scores of 5-1, 5-2, 5-1 and 5-0 - with the latter two coming in game 3 and 4 of this series. penguins superstar captain sidney crosby has tuned out flyers fans and the team itself in philadelphia, erupting for 10 points (two goals, eight assists) and a plus-8 rating in four games this season at wells fargo center. "you have to have that urgency, that desperation level. maybe you find that's easier to get when you're on the road more," said the 30-year-old crosby, who was held reasonably in check with one assist and a minus-2 rating on friday.

tv: 3 p.m. et, nbc, cbc, tvas

about the penguins: forwards evgeni malkin and patric hornqvist will be "game-time decisions" in game 6, per coach mike sullivan, with the former laboring after jori lehtera fell on his left leg in the first period while the latter has missed the last two games with an upper-body injury. malkin returned to the second period and logged 20:22 of ice time, but derick brassard likely would be elevated from the third line to second should the former hart trophy recipient's injury be too much after the adrenaline wears off. "(brassard) is an important player for us, regardless of who's in the lineup. he's a good player. i thought (friday) night was his best performance as a penguin," sullivan said of brassard, who notched an assist in game 5 and has three points (one goal, two assists) in the series.

about the flyers: valtteri filppula turned in his most impressive performance as a member of the flyers on friday, netting a short-handed goal to forge a tie late in the second period while setting up two others after failing to dent the scoresheet in his nine previous outings. "fil's just a really good, two-way veteran. very sound up and down the middle of the rink," coach dave hakstol said of the 34-year-old finn. michal neuvirth, a surprise starter in game 5, turned aside 30 shots - including a diving stop on crosby with 50 seconds remaining in the third period - to increase his postseason save percentage to a sterling .930 in 15 career tilts.

overtime

1. pittsburgh g matt murray sports a sizzling 9-1 record in his career in the next game after a postseason loss.

2. philadelphia is 0-for-11 on the power play in the last three contests.

3. penguins c jake guentzel has two goals, six assists and a plus-5 rating in the series.

prediction: penguins 3, flyers 2

Nashville Predators vs. Colorado Avalanche Preview and Predictions 04-22-2018

21st April 2018 by Gracenote
the colorado avalanche weren't given much of a chance by many prognosticators heading into their western conference first-round series with the nashville predators, but a late surge helped them fend off elimination in their last outing. the upstart avalanche aim to fluster the presidents' trophy-winning predators once again in game 6 on sunday when the series shifts to the pepsi center.

nathan mackinnon deftly weaved his way around defenders before setting up captain gabriel landeskog for the tying goal before sven andrighetto cleaned up a rebound with 1:28 left as colorado snapped a seven-game skid in nashville with a 2-1 win on friday. "we've got a series again going home, and it's going to be exciting," said landeskog, who leads the team in goals (four) and points (seven) in this series - with one more than mackinnon in both categories. nashville was unable to advance and set up a conference semifinal date with patrik laine and winnipeg despite unleashing 19 of its 45 shots in the third period at andrew hammond (career-high 44 saves), but coach peter laviolette wasn't going to put too much stock into the latest setback. "that's what the playoffs are all about, it's about picking yourself up when something doesn't go your way and going back out and trying to make things right," laviolette said. "there's a lot of confidence in the room the guys will go out to colorado and get this done."

tv: 7 p.m. et, nbc sports network, sportsnet, tvas, fs tennessee (nashville), altitude (colorado)

about the predators: austin watson recorded his club-best sixth point while extending his point streak to six games (four goals, three assists) after setting up nick bonino midway into the third period on friday. while watson is having a strong series, nashville's second line of craig smith, kevin fiala and kyle turris have struggled mightily at times against colorado. smith has saved face with two goals, but fiala committed both of the predators' penalties in game 5 and turris has registered only five shots while notching just one assist and a minus-1 rating in the series.
about the avalanche: hammond had all of one regular-season game with colorado under his belt, but that lack of familiarity didn't prevent him from turning in a sterling performance in game 5. "for the most part, i thought guys did a good job letting me see pucks through lanes and boxing out," the 30-year-old said. "when it wasn't, you go back to your roots. i'm more of a battler as a goalie than necessarily technically perfect, but you'll take it however it comes." defenseman tyson barrie set up a goal for the second straight game and fourth time in four outings to pull even with mikko rantanen for the team lead in assists.

overtime

1. nashville has won three of four meetings with colorado at pepsi center, including a 3-2 victory in game 4.

2. the avalanche are just 2-for-20 on the power play in the series while the predators have failed to score on all six opportunities with the man advantage in the last two games.

3. nashville c colton sissons scored in each game in colorado this series and had two goals and an assist in two regular-season encounters.

prediction: predators 3, avalanche 2

Has to be given consideration against this group displaying very strong figs lately and an average speed figure of 95 under similar conditions. PUTTINONASHOW - With Castro aboard him, this gelding ought to be able to break out early for this event. Could beat this field given the 86 speed figure earned in his last outing. TROLOBUS - Should hit the board without any trouble. The speed rating of 89 from his latest contest looks respectable in here.

#5 FOCUSED (ML=4/1)
#4 ABSOLUTE LOVE (ML=9/5)

FOCUSED - Generally, I don't like to see a filly run against the opposite sex like she did January 7th. Good to see she's back with her own sex today. A wise man taught me to wager on the lone speed horse. Take a look at this one. Coming off a fifth place finish at Tampa Bay Downs, some may skip this horse. I'm not. She just missed hitting the show spot, and has decent odds today. Have to forget about that last turf race. This filly should do better hitting the main track in today's race. Recent speed ratings show powerful pattern of improvement. ABSOLUTE LOVE - I like to play this handicapping theory, a campaigner coming back off a nice race within the last month. Based on drills, I look for this filly to run a big race. I like this filly. Has the highest EPS (earnings per start) in here today. Searching through the information for this race, I noted right away this horse's last effort was more than meets the eye. Showed good early speed, fell back, and then ran evenly.

Vulnerable Contenders: #3 TELL YOUR MAMA (ML=2/1), #2 THE GIRL FACTOR (ML=4/1), #1 SARACOSA (ML=6/1),

TELL YOUR MAMA - Didn't hit the board on Mar 23rd at Santa Anita. Followed it up with another lackluster effort. When examining today's Equibase class figure, she will have to record a much better speed fig than last time around the track to be competitive in this dirt route. THE GIRL FACTOR - The rating in the last race doesn't fit very well in this event when I look at the Equibase class figure of today's race. Mark this thoroughbred as a likely underpriced contender. SARACOSA - This horse will almost certainly be at the back of the pack as this field crosses the finish.

I think SUPER DUDE is a solid choice. Has very good Speed Figures and has to be considered for a bet for this race. Should be given a shot based on the very good speed figure posted in the last contest. Has earned solid Equibase Speed Figures in turf route races in the past. DOTHAT DANCE - Should definitely be given a chance in this race if only for the respectable speed fig posted in the last contest. He has recorded respectable figures under today's conditions and will probably fare well versus this field.

Handicapped by The Turf Club Analysts

Bar

Turf Paradise - Race #3 - Post: 2:30pm - Claiming - 8.0 furlongs on the Turf. Purse: $8,500 Class Rating: 81

Rating: Golden DollarGolden DollarGolden Dollar

#3 SHEZAMOVER (ML=15/1)
#5 SHALONDA (ML=5/1)
#1 DON'T TELL JUDY (ML=2/1)
#6 MIDNIGHT SEEKER (ML=10/1)

SHEZAMOVER - Cruz comes to get aboard after getting to know the mare in the last race. Don't often see a lucrative return on investment like +48. This rider/conditioner duet has done well together over the last twelve months. SHALONDA - Running 1 mile on the grass, you've have to look at horse's turf figures. This thoroughbred has the tops in the bunch. Arrieta is right back for another contest today after getting on board this equine for the first try on March 21st and ought to know the ropes to this one a little better. Just check out her last speed rating, 75. That one fits well in this bunch. DON'T TELL JUDY - Johnson brings her back again. I propose you stay with this hot mare. Just check out her most recent figure, 75. That one fits in this field. MIDNIGHT SEEKER - You'll be making money right and left by turning your cash onto this jockey/trainer combination. Lindsay rode this horse for the first time last out and comes right back today. Have to give this mare a shot. Ran a good contest last time out within the last month.

Vulnerable Contenders: #2 AMY JEAN (ML=9/5), #7 THURSDAYS ANGEL (ML=3/1),

AMY JEAN - This mount has been disappointing the public as the favorite time and time again. Shouldn't invest in this one as the favorite with little to offer for the risk involved. Will be tough for this thoroughbred to beat this bunch off of that last speed figure. Improbable to improve enough to run a figure close enough to today's class rating, so put her on the questionable challengers list. THURSDAYS ANGEL - This young horse isn't going to beat the older ones today, maybe another time.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:
Bet on #3 SHEZAMOVER to win if we can get at least 9/2 odds

Toronto Blue Jays vs. New York Yankees Preview and Predictions 04-22-2018

21st April 2018 by Gracenote
giancarlo stanton can take all the time he needs to find consistency at the plate as long as aaron judge keeps raking. judge will try to lead the new york yankees to a series win when they host the toronto blue jays in the finale of a four-game series on sunday.

judge bashed his sixth home run to highlight a 2-for-4 outing with three rbis and two runs scored in saturday's 9-1 triumph - his second homer of the series and the fifth time in the last 10 games that he recorded multiple hits. stanton snapped an 11-game homer drought with a blast on friday but could not keep the momentum going as he went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts on saturday to drop his batting average to .195. the blue jays managed only four hits on saturday in a rare poor performance offensively as first baseman justin smoak, who leads the team with 12 rbis, received his first day off after starting the first 19 contests. toronto could find hits hard to come by again on sunday against new york ace luis severino, who opposes lefty jaime garcia.

tv: 1:05 p.m. et, mlb network, sportsnet (toronto), yes (new york)

pitching matchup: blue jays lh jaime garcia (2-0, 3.86 era) vs. yankees rh luis severino (3-1, 2.63)

garcia got eight full days off between starts due to weather issues before finally toeing the rubber against kansas city on tuesday, and he earned a win by limiting the royals to three runs on eight hits and a walk over five innings. the mexico native has yet to allow more than three runs in an outing and owns 17 strikeouts in 16 1/3 innings. garcia, who made eight starts for new york last season and was with the team in the playoffs, is making his first career start against the yankees.
severino bounced back from his first loss with a dominating effort against the miami marlins on monday, when he struck out eight and yielded one hit across six scoreless innings. the dominican republic native was ripped for five runs in as many innings and eight hits in boston on april 10 but yielded a total of two runs and seven hits over 19 innings in his other three turns. severino started at toronto on opening day and struck out seven while allowing one hit in 5 2/3 frames to earn the win.

walk-offs

1. blue jays 2b devon travis (foot) sat out his second consecutive game on saturday and is day-to-day.

2. new york 3b miguel andujar is 9-for-20 with six runs scored and six rbis over the last five games.

3. toronto of teoscar hernandez went 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts on saturday after driving in seven runs over the previous three contests.

prediction: yankees 5, blue jays 1
