At the bubble, the game never ends and Friday is another day for playoff matches. Already, we have been entertained and also mildly surprised by the outcome of some games. Here we would be looking at betting tips for the two games on Friday. As an extra measure, it is important that you follow basketball news within the week to help you place better bets.
The first match for the day is Boston Celtics vs. Toronto Raptors. Friday is Game 7 and both teams are currently tied at 2-2. The Celtics began Round 2 with the lead but the Raptors have now won their last two matches.
They have two matches to play before Friday, giving very little hope that the Friday fixture would hold at all, depending on the outcome of both games, which could swing to either team. For us to have a Friday meeting, either team would have to lose one of their fixtures before Friday and that is not something to bank on. The final scoreline always entered more than 190 points.
The final game for the day is Denver Nuggets vs. Los Angeles Clippers. Friday is Game 5 for both teams and they are currently tied at 1-1. The Clippers were the first to win a fixture (120-97), till the Nuggets won their Saturday game (110-101).
Now, there is little chance that Friday could be the end of things because for that to happen, a team would have to win their two fixtures within the week, before winning the Friday game. Based on playoffs history, the Clippers have been the better team but that is based on the record from 2006. But based on their past 5 regular-season meetings, the Nuggets won 3, although they lost the last two, including one which took place last month at the bubble. The final scoreline in their past meetings have always been over 200 points
