The 2019 NBA Playoffs resume on Thursday with two nationally televised showdowns and possible close-out games. At 8 p.m. ET, Kawhi Leonard and the Toronto Raptors (-2), fresh off a 36-point victory in Game 5 of their Eastern Conference series over the Philadelphia 76ers, can finish off their series in Game 6 in Philly. Then at 10:30 p.m. ET, Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets, who won by 26 points in Game 5, head back to Portland to face Damian Lillard and the Portland Trail Blazers (-3.5) with a chance to advance to the Western Conference Finals. The health of Joel Embiid remains a question for the Sixers, while the Blazers need C.J. McCollum to step up if they're to stave off elimination. Fans across the nation will be placing wagers on both of these showdowns, but if you're feeling truly bold Thursday evening, SportsLine handicapper Adam Thompson is going huge, putting together a parlay of best bets that could return a massive 6-1 payout.
Thompson, who covered major sports for 20 years as a writer and columnist before joining SportsLine, cites deeply researched stats and trends you likely haven't considered to build his win streaks. He enters Thursday on a sizzling 86-65 run on NBA picks against the spread, hitting nearly 60 percent and bringing more than $1,400 to $100 bettors tailing him. Now his three selections for Thursday are locked in and available exclusively at SportsLine.
We'll tell you Thompson is backing the over 215.5 points in Game 6 of the Nuggets vs. Blazers series.
Thompson knows four of the five games in this series have hit the over, and the one that didn't was a surprising 187-point power outage on both sides. Thompson throws that one out, and the four-OT scoring feast of Game 3 that produced 277 total points.
The other three games have all finished between 226 and 234 points -- that's slightly above the combined 225.4 points per game the teams have averaged all season, but well above the over-under for Thursday.
"Eight of the nine matchups have gone over between these teams, and the over has been a success all season at Portland," Thompson noted. "In addition, when the line is between 214-217, it's 14-5-1 in Blazers games. Take the over to hit once again."
Confidently lock in the over on Nuggets vs. Blazers into your parlay and you could be well on your way to a colossal payoff.
Thompson also has spread picks on both of Thursday's games, noting a key x-factor that you likely aren't considering that's caused him to jump all over an underdog in one of them. Find out which team it is, and everything else you need to know to complete your parlay selections, over at SportsLine.
