Toronto +1.5 v Philadelphia ($1.90)
Toronto as a home underdog to Philadelphia is absolutely a play today. The Raptors have covered fur straight as a home underdog and have covered 26 of 37 against teams with a winning record. They have also covered 16 of 23 off a loss. Philadelphia have failed to cover any of their last four as a road favourite.

Brooklyn ($2.40) v Boston
Brooklyn had Boston on toast last meeting before a Jayson Tatum buzzerbeater got the Celtics home. This looks a very evenly matched series so expecting a Brooklyn bounceback here. They have covered 11 of 14 on the road and five of their last six playoff games as an underdog. Boston have covered just 2 of 7 as a favourite. The Nets are a strong bet.
