NBA Playoffs Same Game Parlay Odds, Picks & Predictions: Monday (4/24)
Just two games on the slate for tonight, but they are two swings, and we’ll find out if one team takes a commanding 3-1 lead or if it’s turned into a best-of-five. Surprisingly, it’s the lower seed in both games that currently hold the 2-1 lead.

Milwaukee Bucks at Miami Heat
The Bucks had no problem dealing with the Heats in Game 2 without Giannis, but with him still sidelined again, Miami would adjust and come away with a 121-99 win.
The Bucks proved they could win without Giannis, but this was just a sloppy performance. They could not battle on the boards as Miami out-rebounded them. Mainly, they were vulnerable from the perimeter by allowing the Heat, who shot 34% from three in the regular season, to hit 48%. They lost in the turnover differential, but they're 19th in offensive turnover percentage and 30th in opponents turnover per possession, so this isn't unusual.
The Bucks allowed the second-lowest field percentage during the regular season and the eighth-lowest three-point percentage, so this was an uncharacteristic night for them.
This team has been able to bounce back this season and was 18-7 following a loss. They'll play back up to their potential and make this a best of five.

Memphis Grizzlies at Los Angeles Lakers
Don't poke at the Bear, or you might get mauled. That is precisely what happened to the Grizzlies, as the Lakers easily won this 111-101. It has already been announced that Dillion Brooks will not face any further punishment for his flagrant foul on LeBron James and will be available.
It's not just James and Anthony Davis that have contributed in this series, the role players have also been great. Austin Reaves and D'Angelo Russell are contributing and Rui Hachinura has been lights out, shooting 67% in this series.
Ja Morant made this a single-digit deficit a couple of times late in the game, but even his 45 points weren’t good enough.
We're seeing how Los Angeles has been able to drive the lane and finish without Steve Adams on defense for Memphis, and the precision outside shooting has helped as well. The Lakers need to continue to finish at the basket and they should get within one win of ending this series.
