Philadelphia 76ers @ Toronto Raptors – 2pm ET

My first pick for this game is for the potential Most Valuable Player award winner Joel Embiid. I look for Embiid to have a huge performance in this one as they look to close out the Toronto Raptors in this game. Embiid has played like one of the best players in the league this season and it has found its way into the playoffs as well. If the Philadelphia 76ers want to close out this series with a four games to zero sweep then they will need Embiid to step up to the plate in this game. 

My second pick for this game is for the other superstar for the Philadelphia 76ers, James Harden. I also look for Harden to put up a big performance in this one as well in this potential close out game for Philadelphia. I look for Harden to put up at least 25 points in this game. Harden is one of the best scorers in history of the National Basketball Association and he excels at getting to the free throw line as well.

Dallas Mavericks @ Utah Jazz – 4:30pm ET

My first pick for this game is for the Utah Jazz shooting guard and franchise cornerstone Donovan Mitchell. In game three Mitchell scored 32 points but unfortunately the Jazz failed to pick up the win and now find themselves down 2-1 heading into their second home game of this series. However, I expect Mitchell to repeat that performance here in game four to try and get the series level before they head back to Dallas for game five. 

My second pick for this game is for the Dallas Mavericks shooting guard Jalen Brunson. For the second straight game in a row Brunson stepped up in the absence of Luka Doncic and put on a show. He dropped two consecutive 30 point games to lead the Mavericks to another win and put them ahead 2-1 in this series. I expect him to put on another show in this one as I can easily see him eclipsing 30 points for the third straight game.

Boston Celtics @ Brooklyn Nets – 7:30pm ET

My first pick for this game is for the Brooklyn Nets superstar point guard Kyrie Irving. I expect Irving to have a big performance in this game to try and avoid the Brooklyn Nets going down to 3-0 in this first series agaianst his old team, the Boston Celtics. When he is on the floor and healthy Kyrie is easily one of the top five players in the National Basketball Association as he has a killer instinct like no other and I look for it to show itself in this one. 

My second pick for this game is a Boston Celtics win over the Brooklyn Nets to put the Nets on the brink of elimination. Brooklyn is perhaps one of the greatest 7th seeds of all time. However, they have lost a few heartbreakers in this series and after game one it killed their momentum in my opinion. That is why I have the Boston Celtics going up 3-0.

Memphis Grizzlies @ Minnesota Timberwolves – 10pm ET

My first pick for this game is for the Minnesota Timberwolves big man and the greatest shooting big man of all time Karl Anthony Towns. I look for Towns to try and right the ship after the Timberwolves collapsed in epic fashion to lose game three of this series. I think he will be the one to step up and try and calm this team down as they look to even the series before heading back to Memphis for game five. 

My second pick for this game is for a Memphis Grizzlies victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves as I think the game three meltdown will be too much to overcome mentally. The Timberwolves had that game won on several occasions and they were unable to capitalize and I think it will come back to haunt them in this series.
