The Thunder's lead the series by 1-0, and will want to bring the rumbling noise back on to the court to scare the Lakers away for another win. Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant when combined are a lethal combination that will cause massive damage and dominate possession. For the Lakers to come back, their star player Kobe Bryant will have to charge in through the Thunder's line of defense and put his skill to task. Andrew Bynum needs to cover rebounds and push forward for a win. Take Oklahoma City Thunder @ 1.77.

NBA, Boston Celtics vs. Philadelphia 76ers. May 16, 2012. 7:00PM EST. Take Philadelphia 76ers First Half -1.0 @ 1.91.
The 76ers' Lavoy Allen has proven to be lucky, with just .9 seconds on the clock he scored the winning basket to lead his team to victory. Elton Brand is putting his heart and soul to the game and seems to be using his forward experience to his advantage. Philly has not hosted a game like this since 2003 and will have the advantage of playing at home. On the other hand, The Celtics are finding it difficult to play on the court. Kevin Garnett was only well grounded with his baskets at the fourth quarter. Rajon Rondo has lost his offensive zeal and needs to find some inspiration to attack on the floor. There is a great chance for the 76ers to make Philadelphia proud. Take Philadelphia 76ers First Half -1.0 @ 1.91.

The Spurs are going to be attacking with full power, they have the best offensive line in the playoffs and their defense is amazing too. Tim Duncan is a defense god that will soon be in the Hall of Fame but needs to be prepared to tackle on the energetic Blake Griffin.

NBA, Indiana Pacers vs. Miami Heats. May 15, 2012. 7:05PM EST. Take Miami Heats Under + 185.5 @ 1.91.
The Heats are burning the court down, with LeBron James scoring 32 points, Chris Bosh driving past the Pacers, and Dwyane Wade nailing insane baskets, there is no telling when the fire will be put off.
