LA Lakers - HOU Rockets

This coefficient is determined by public opinion and the reputation of the teams. Periods after a 32-point difference in the first match appear to be significantly stronger. The second matches of the elimination rounds are usually more intense, as the losing team adjusts and plays with more determination. Boston's playing style does not always guarantee repeatable crushing victories, and betting on them at such a coefficient smells of Peruvian handicaps. When the favorite seems so easy, it usually doesn't turn out that way.

Hello.
NBA playoffs. Spurs against Blazers. We are going with Holiday 14.5 points over.
A player with a lot of experience in such high-level games for both teams. In the first game, he had a tragic 26.7% shooting percentage (4 out of 15 shots made) and 14.3% for 3-pointers (1 out of 8). On average, Holiday has 16.3 points, 37.8% 3-point shooting, and 45.1% FG percentage, so I don't believe he will play below his capabilities in the second game. Before that, in the Playoffs, he scored 21 points with percentages close to his average. He plays a lot, so there will definitely be opportunities to gather points (38 minutes against the Suns and 36 minutes against the Spurs in the first game). Of course, Holiday distributed 11 assists in the first game against the Spurs, which is not very typical for him, but he was able to make 15 shots in such a game. With a slight increase in percentages, he can easily score so many points. I think the line will go up as the series goes on 😁. Good luck.

Thanks to Wenbio, the Spurs team dominated the first game and won it confidently, but Portland showed enough motivation that day to expect an improvement in their game. I believe that the second game should be more competitive.
