2020 MistaFlava NBA Playoffs: 0-0 ATS (+0.00 Units)
Have not posted much NBA at all this season, nothing since the start of the pandemic and the return to action in the bubble but I have a good feel for the NBA and I am going to be contributing here on a regular basis through the NBA Finals. Let's hope on for the ride and make some money.
GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!

Western Conference Semi-Finals - Game 3
Los Angeles Clippers -8.5 (10 Units)
Back and forth we go with the Clippers and Nuggets exchanging wins in the first two games of this series. We have to give the Nuggets a break in Game 1 because they had just played a crazy series with the Utah Jazz but they showed up in Game 2 and showed the Clippers how they can be a problem in this series. I think it was a nice wakeup call for the Clippers as much as Game 1 was a wakeup call for Denver. The way Jamal Murray is playing right now its hard to not believe anything is possible with this team and the Nuggets are no doubt about it a dangerous opponent having been through it all this post-season but I don't see them being a match for the Clippers.
In Game 2 of this series the Clippers went down 44-25 in the 1st Quarter and that was pretty much the difference in the game as the Clippers never recovered but the Nuggets made a great set of adjustments going into that game and now the Clippers have to adjust. Some of the big players on the Clippers promised Game 3 would not only have adjustments but that they would look a lot better and come a lot more prepared. That's the kind of attitude a Championship pedigree of a Kawhi Leonard brings to the team.
An interesting stat to keep an eye is that the Clippers have covered the spread in 21 of their last 27 games coming off an ATS spread loss. On the flip side Denver is 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 games coming off a straight up win. Both teams have lacked consistency in the playoffs so far so I expect this one to go all over the place. Give me the Clippers to win this one not huge but they'll cover with some late free throws.
Trend of the Game: Los Angeles Clippers are 21-6 ATS in their last 27 games coming off a spread loss.
LA Clippers 116, Denver 102
more to come...
