Boom Best
Miami -8.5 v Philadelphia ($1.92)
Philadelphia are staring down the barrel of a sweep here. They are without Embiid, Harden is playing below-par and they seem no match for a deep Miami roster. The Sixers have covered just two of nine road games and just 7 of 23 off allowing 100-plus points. Miami have covered 13 of 17 against elite teams and 8 of 11 when favoured.

Dallas ($3.00) at Phoenix
Phoenix seemed to get every board and hit every shot in Game 1 but only just held on late to win by seven. If Dallas can pull out a similar performance in Game 2, they are a huge chance of levelling the series. Depth is an issue but Doncic is the man to ride.

Boom Total
Under 207.5 Philadelphia-Miami ($1.90)
The total is low here but it does not look low enough with Philadelphia still without Joel Embiid and intent on playing slow. Miami are a huge under team, going under the total in 14 of 16 as a favourite and five of six against winning teams. The under is 10-2 when Philadelphia are a road underdog and 36-17 when they play teams with a record north of .600.
