NBA Playoffs Preview: Predictions and Odds for Game 5s
Cavs-Knicks: Cleveland favored to close out series on the road
The Cleveland Cavaliers have dominated the New York Knicks in the first four games of their opening round playoff series, winning each game by an average of 16 points.
Despite playing on the road, the Cavaliers are heavy favorites to close out the series on Wednesday night. The odds are heavily in Cleveland’s favor, with most sportsbooks giving them a 10-point spread.
The Knicks have struggled to find consistent offense throughout the series, and the return of point guard Derrick Rose for game 4 did little to help the team. It seems unlikely that they will be able to keep up with the Cavaliers in game 5.

Grizzlies-Lakers: Can Memphis finish off the upset?
The Memphis Grizzlies shocked the NBA world by winning the first three games of their series against the Los Angeles Lakers. However, the Lakers bounced back with a dominant win in game 4 to avoid the sweep.
The Grizzlies will be looking to finish off the upset in game 5, but the odds are against them. The Lakers are favored by 7 points, and many experts believe that their veteran experience will help them close out the series.
However, the Grizzlies have proven to be a difficult matchup for the Lakers, and they have the size and physicality to give them trouble. It should be an interesting game 5.

Bucks-Heat: Miami looks to finish off the young Bucks
The Miami Heat have been one of the most impressive teams in the NBA playoffs so far, winning all four of their games against the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Bucks are a young and talented team, but they have struggled to keep up with the experience and depth of the Heat.
In game 5, the Heat are once again heavily favored to pick up the win and close out the series. Most sportsbooks have them at a 9-point spread.
However, the Bucks have shown resilience throughout the series, and they could surprise the Heat if they can put together a complete game.

Kings-Warriors: Golden State looks to eliminate Sacramento
The Golden State Warriors have been dominant in their series against the Sacramento Kings, winning all four games so far.
The Warriors have been firing on all cylinders, with Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson leading the way on offense. The Kings have struggled to slow them down.
In game 5, the Warriors are once again heavily favored, with most sportsbooks giving them an 11-point spread. It’s hard to see the Kings putting up much of a fight in this one.
