Today's NBA Basketball Picks:

Game: Cleveland at Boston (3:35 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on First Half UNDER 98.5 -110 (risk 3 to win 2.7)

LeBron put to rest questions about his elbow injury last game as the Cavaliers came out and made a huge statement in game three. They crushed the Celtics on their home floor to re-gain home court advantage. This series is shaping up to be one in which either team can win any game, and it can be close or a blow out. Boston nearly took a 2-0 lead and beat the Cavs by 18 points in Cleveland. Cleveland beat Boston in the Garden by 29. So who will win this game? I honestly have no clue! But I do like the first-half UNDER. All three of the first three games have gone OVER in the first-half. The first two squeaked over while last game went way over thanks to 65 first-half points by the Cavs. Guess what Boston is going to be focused on today after giving up those 65 and 125 for the game? You guessed it. They will have a renewed energy, especially early on. There is no way they let the Cavs go off like that again on them early. The Celtics are 31-13 UNDER in the first-half in their last 44 home playoffs games. Since last season, they are 33-20 UNDER in the first-half when revenging a loss and 53-38 UNDER vs. winning teams. I look for this one to stay under this total in the first-half.

Phoenix pretty much wrapped up this series last game by winning game three. No NBA playoff team has ever lost a best-of-seven series when up 3-0. Knowing that, and coming off a 14-point win on this court, how can Phoenix avoid letting down a bit? It's nearly impossible. Meanwhile, San Antonio knows that they are done, but this team is full of vets with pride. They don't want to get swept so I expect a win by the Spurs here to stave off elimination, for at least one more game. This has turned out to be a bad matchup for San Antonio, but let's not forget that the Spurs are 32-13 SU and 26-17 ATS in this building, winning by 11 points per game on average. The past three seasons, they are 11-2 ATS revenging a loss as a big favorite. I like the Spurs' pride to drive them to a win and a cover here. I also like the first-half UNDER. Two of the three games thus far, including the last one here in San Antonio have gone under the first-half total. On the road this season, the Suns are 26-18 UNDER in the first half. As an underdog of 3.5 to 9.5 points, the Suns are 14-3 UNDER this season in the first half. After a game in which they scored 110+, they are 27-17 UNDER in the first-half. And, Phoenix is 18-8 UNDER in the first-half this season on the road when facing a winning team.

Results: 1-2
