Joel Embiid was unstoppable closing out game 4. Sure, the referees missed THE call in the final seconds then essentially admitted to both clubs and fans that the series should actually be tied. But Embiid was a beast and he can clearly take over a game anytime he wants. Every time Embiid pulls out one of those drop step moves, Sam Hinkie’s star shines a little bit brighter! Can Embiid get it going earlier to close out the Nets or will he rest his ailing knee? Matt has your NBA prediction!

Through four games, Westbrook is at a playoff career-low 36.3% from the field and averaging a ghastly (for him) 21.3 points per game. The Durant-less Thunder haven’t made it out of the first round, and Russ was even more efficient from the field the year that he shot 30 times per game. Can Russ bring the fire outside of the post game conference room? KC breaks down game 5 of the Blazers/Thunder!

Of all the first round playoff series the Bucks looked most primed to sweep their opponent, the Detroit Pistons. Now up 3-0 and with a 12 point game 4 spread, the bookmakers agree that Milwaukee is likely moving on after tonight. But are the Deer positioned to to cover another massive spread with Blake Griffin in the lineup as they did on Saturday? Keith Franks gives his analysis and NBA pick.

The Trail Blazers will look to buck a series and seasonal trend when they take to the floor of the Chesapeake Energy Arena tonight. The Thunder get the “W” and the money in all three home games against the Blazers and likewise for the home team in the first three games of this series.
