In the last two days, the NBA Playoffs have lost a little steam, as three of four games have resulted in blowouts. Besides the instant classic between the Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics on Wednesday, each game has ended with a margin of at least 30 points, including Game 5 in Philadelphia 76ers-Miami Heat and Dallas Mavericks-Phoenix Suns.
Now that the 76ers and Mavericks are facing elimination, they’ll both be playing with more desperation as they return home for their respective Game 6. But how much will it matter? Let’s take a look at these matchups and who I think will prevail. Odds are from Tipico Sportsbook.
