Orlando Magic - Los Angeles Clippers

A very big coefficient for the Knicks who can be said to dominate the series 3-1, and the Celtics without their leader Tatum. You can throw around phrases like an injured beast being more dangerous, but it seems that the series will end with these exact games.

I believe that the Knicks will close the series in Boston tonight. Tatum's injury will not only affect this series, but also for a long time. Although I am sure that the Celtics will show a championship character and not give up, I think they will miss JT in crucial moments of the game. And in this series, with him as their clutch player, they have not lost any games. Unless there is some sort of cosmic upset, the Knicks will advance. I am also excited to see how the New York fans will react, given that they have won all 5 away games in these playoffs. And an interesting fact is that one of their leaders, Towns, has won 11 out of the last 13 playoff games on the road.

I don't believe it will be a close fight here. There will be a blowout in one direction, and I think the home team will take it in Boston. Tatum's injury should motivate the team, those who are truly determined to play. Brown should take on a bigger role, Porzingis/Holiday need to step up. The tension is rising for the Knicks, because now they have to close the series, which should make their somewhat shaky offense even more challenging.

GSW won their first game, but that doesn't matter at all because Curry suffered a hamstring injury, after which he won't be able to recover quickly. The season for Curry is over, even though they still list him as day-to-day, but considering past injuries, nobody can recover that quickly. Without Curry, GSW has no chance in this series and I would be surprised if they even win at least one game. Good odds are still being offered, especially when the Wolves win their second game, most likely by a landslide, which would greatly lower the odds.

GSW won their first game, but that's completely irrelevant because Curry suffered a hamstring injury, which he most likely won't recover from quickly. The season is over for Curry, even though he is still listed as Day-to-Day, but based on past injuries, no one recovers quickly from such traumas. Without Curry, GSW has no realistic chances in this series and I would be surprised if they won even one more game. Good odds are still being offered, especially when the Wolves win their second game, most likely with a crushing score, which will greatly lower the odds.

GSW won the first game, but it's not really important because Curry suffered a hamstring injury and won't be able to recover quickly. His season is over, even though he's still listed as day-to-day, but based on history, no one can recover quickly from such injuries. Without Curry, GSW doesn't stand a chance in this series and I would be surprised if they manage to win at least one game. The odds are still good, when the Wolves win the second game, most likely by a big margin, the odds will drop significantly.
