Philadelphia came out flat in their Game 1 loss since 7.5-point house chalk, falling behind by eight points at halftime, and has now lost outright in five of seven outings entering Monday night’s matchup in Wells Fargo Center.
The Sixers’ Game 1 loss extends a tendency of combined results when facing Brooklyn. Philadelphia has now dropped three to five straight-up to the Nets this year, including a set of defeats on home court, also has been a steady disappointment on the NBA odds, covering only once in this season’s five meetings, and going 3-7 from the spread in their past 10 tilts with Brooklyn.
While the 76ers battle, the Nets enter Game 2 on a top, riding a four-game SU win streak. Brooklyn has played with stingy ball throughout their present surge, limiting opponents to just 97.33 points per game over their previous three outings.
More impressive is that the Nets’ recent play on the road. Three of the Nets’ four recent wins have come as road underdogs, raising the club into an impressive 5-2 SU in their own past seven street outings.
The Nets’ recent strong play and Game 1 success has dramatically diminished Philadelphia’s standing on the NBA series prices. The 76ers opened the postseason pegged as clear -650 favorites to knock off the Nets, but sit as reduced -180 chalk, while Brooklyn has increased to a +160 wager on those NBA playoff lines to assert just their second series win since 2007.
Warriors Heavy Chalk Hosting Clippers on Monday
Over in the Western Alliance, the Golden State Warriors seem to take a 2-0 series lead when they hit the floor on Monday night for Game 2 of their opening-round show with the Los Angeles Clippers as heavy 13.5-point home favorites on the NBA playoff betting lines.
The Warriors dominated their cross-state competitions after entering Saturday’s series opener as a huge -20000 favored on the NBA playoff series costs, recording a lopsided 121-104 success to cover out as 13.5-point favorites.
Wins over the Clippers are very commonplace for Golden State, which now owns a 17-2 SU record in 19 meetings with Los Angeles since December 2014. The Warriors have also claimed victory by a double-digit margin in all their previous three dates with the Clippers, and on 11 events in their past 21 head-to-head clashes.
Additionally, with Saturday’s win, Golden State has become undefeated SU in seven straight playoff contests, dating back to last season’s Western Conference Finals. Not surprisingly, the Warriors stay a fixture atop the NBA futures, sporting brief -225 odds to win the NBA championship for a third straight year.
With only one SU win in five outings, the Clippers now find themselves in desperation mode entering Game 2. Los Angeles has dropped three consecutive SU on the road, and also have defeated bettors with five straight ATS losses.
