The Indiana Pacers will visit the Cleveland Cavaliers this Sunday for Game 1 of their second-round series, and they arrive with confidence: They won three out of four regular-season matchups against the Cavs. However, regular-season stats mean little once the playoffs begin.

The Denver Nuggets failed to close the series, and now everything will be decided Saturday at home, after falling 111-105 to the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 6 on the road.

The Houston Rockets not only had a tremendous regular season, classified as second in the Western Conference, but under coach Ime Udoka, who has his team with the series tied 3-3, after winning game 6 in San Francisco 115-107, being the hero at the end of their star Fred VanVleet. Now everything comes down to a win-or-go-home Game 7 this Sunday in Houston, and the NBA 1st Half Lines are heating up.

In a series that many expected to go down to the wire, the Minnesota Timberwolves didn’t just beat the Lakers — they made it clear from Game 1 that they were the better team.

The Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets didn’t just face off on the scoreboard Monday night—they also engaged in a physical and intense battle that ended with shoving, shouting, and multiple technical fouls. It all happened in Game 4 of a playoff series that’s getting hotter with each game.
