Summary
We got three first-round battles on Thursday, April 30 and a ton will be decided after tonight. Hawks vs Knicks, Celtics vs 76ers, Nuggets vs Timberwolves — all live and we’re locking in on these matchups.The Knicks head to Atlanta up 3-2 in the series and looking to close it out on the road. Can New York punch their ticket to the next round at State Farm Arena, or do the Hawks force a Game 7 and keep the series alive? Then we shift to Boston where the 76ers head home down 3-2, fighting to force a Game 7. Philly’s been resilient but now it’s do-or-die at the Wells Fargo Center — can they extend the series or do the Celtics finish them off? Out West, the Nuggets travel to Minnesota looking to even things up and head back to Denver for a potential Game 7. Can Denver steal one on the road or do the Timberwolves protect their house and take control and advance? We break down all three games, who’s got the edge, and where the value is sitting. Hop in boys, the water is warm — drop your locks and predictions in the comments!
