Lakers vs Rockets, Pistons vs Magic, Raptors vs Cavs — all live, and we’re locking in on these plus the best MLB NRFIs across the slate The Rockets head to LA where the Lakers lead the series 3-1 and are hosting Game 5 at Crypto.com Arena. LA’s looking to close it out in front of the home crowd and punch their ticket to the next round — can they finish the job tonight, or do the Rockets steal one on the road and force a Game 6? Then we go to the East: Magic lead the Pistons 3-1 and head to Detroit for Game 5. The Pistons are fighting for survival at home — can they protect Little Caesars Arena, extend the series, and keep the season alive, or do the Magic close them out on the road? Then the Raptors head to Cleveland where the series is tied 2-2. Toronto’s been scrappy but now it’s the Cavs at home — that’s a different beast. Cleveland trying to take the series lead and put the pressure back on the Raptors.We break down all three games, who’s got the edge, plus the sharpest MLB NRFIs of the night and where the value is sitting.
