NBA Playoffs betting tips: Warriors finish Rockets, best series bets as Cavs face Pacers

The NBA Playoffs continue on Friday night as the Golden State Warriors look to right the wrongs of Game 5 and put the pesky Houston Rockets to bed once and for all.

At the time of writing, it remains to be seen if the Nuggets and Knicks can avoid going to a winner-takes-all match against the LA Clippers and Detroit Pistons, respectively.

Those games could take place over the weekend, depending on the outcome of Thursday night’s matchups, but we believe the Knicks and the Nuggets will advance even in the event of a Game 7.

However, we know of one other game taking place this week, as the Cleveland Cavaliers play host to the Indiana Pacers on the back of a five-day break.

In this article, Sports News Blitz’s NBA expert, George Dempsey gives his predictions and betting tips ahead of the games.

Golf betting tips: Jordan Spieth to find form in home state at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson

The PGA Tour returns to Texas for the third time this year, ahead of the CJ Cup Byron Nelson. 

The tournament takes place at TPC Craig Ranch, a relatively new course on tour.

Craig Ranch is known to score low, with the front nine especially accommodating to stringing together birdie after birdie. 

Long drives, to set up easy approach shots, are the recipe for success here, so favouring those who can hit it long and drop it close will be a solid plan of action.

Here, Sports News Blitz’s Sam Condy breaks down four of the top picks ahead of the PGA’s visit to Texas.

NBA Playoff betting tips: Best spread picks as Cavs and Knicks wrap up series

First up on Monday, the Cleveland Cavaliers are looking to complete a series sweep as they face the Miami Heat in Game 4 at Kaseya Centre.

The Cavaliers handed the Heat their worst-ever playoff loss in game three and have outscored them by 67 points thus far, so a comeback is out of the question.

Next, the New York Knicks will try to finish off their first-round matchup with the Detroit Pistons in Game 5 at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday.

Even though the Pistons have been competitive, winning one game and losing three by a combined 14 points, we think the Knicks have a good chance of finishing the job.

Sports News Blitz tipster George Dempsey offers his best betting tips ahead of the action.

Liverpool, who only need another six points to lock in the Premier League title, may have turned the title 'race' into a rather boring procession, but the battle for Champions League qualification is really hotting up, with Newcastle in the box seat.
