NBA Playoffs Tips, June 1

WASHINGTON WIZARDS VS PHILADELPHIA 76ERS
76ers (-7.5) $1.87

Philly look to complete a first round sweep when they take to the court against the Wizards.

Washington have had no answer to Joel Embiid this series, with the big man putting up 88-points across the first three games.

In fact, the Wiz have struggled to guard all five positions, as the 76ers have ran rampant on the offensive end, averaging 126 points across the first three games.

Once against the Sixers have been gifted a -7.5 line, which is just ridiculous considering how one-sided this series has been.

MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES VS UTAH JAZZ
Jazz (-5) $1.87

The Jazz look to go 3-1 up and 3-0 since the return on Donovan Mitchell in this series.

The Grizzlies have struggled to deal with 2x time defensive player of the year Rudy Gobert, who is having his way at both ends of the court.

The inclusion of Donovan has really lifted the performances of all his teammates, with every starter for the Jazz hitting double figures across the last two games.

Utah claimed the best regular season record for a reason, and while Memphis have done extremely well to get this far, I can’t see them getting close to the Jazz in what should be their final two post season fixtures.
