We’re back to a best-of-three series in NBA betting action between the Miami Heat and the Indiana Pacers. These two teams have really slugged it out with one another over the course of this whole series, and now, Game 5 will take place on Thursday night at the American Airlines Arena in South Beach. The Heat are 7 ½-point favorites on the NBA odds in this one, and the game will tip at 8:30 p.m. ET on TNT.

It’s not mathematically a must-win for the Indiana Pacers, but it has to feel like it is. The team is taking on the Miami Heat in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Tuesday night, and if the Pacers can’t beat the NBA odds at +2 in this game, they’ll be down 3-1 having to win three straight games against a team that has already gone 76-18 this season just to keep their season alive.

The Memphis Grizzlies came into the Western Conference Finals full of big time bite. Now, they look to be tamed in a bad way, as they ultimately are down in an 0-3 hole. Teams have done well in the postseason when facing that 0-3 deficit, but the one team that was able to previously finish things off in the Western Conference without a fight back is the San Antonio Spurs.

The San Antonio Spurs didn’t win the first two games of the Western Conference Finals in the prettiest fashion in the world, but this time of year, wins are wins, and the Spurs have gotten them. Now, the pressure is squarely on the shoulders of the Memphis Grizzlies, who probably have to win Game 3 on Saturday night if they have any chances of making it to their first ever NBA Finals. They’re 5 ½-point favorites in Game 3 though, and that seems to be awfully excessive to us.

Matters are getting very tight in the Eastern Conference Finals between the Miami Heat and the Indiana Pacers. These two teams are split at a game apiece, and they are going to break this deadlock in NBA betting action on Sunday night at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. This game is so tight that it is a pick ’em on the NBA odds.

The Miami Heat and the Indiana Pacers played a wild opening game of the Eastern Conference Finals against each other on Wednesday night. If the two play as amazing of a game this time around, this will be another de facto can’t miss game. The Pacers are getting seven points on the NBA odds, and they are going to have to put forth a tremendous effort just to stick around with Miami for a second game in a row.

Central Divison rivals are going to be back on the ice after a few days off on Thursday night in NHL betting action, as the Detroit Red Wings host the Chicago Blackhawks. In spite of the fact that Chicago had won eight straight games in this series going into Game 2, the Red Wings have rolled off back to back games by outscoring the boys from the Windy City 7-2, and they are going to hope to put a stranglehold on this one on Thursday night.

The Ottawa Senators literally scratched and clawed their way back into their series with the Pittsburgh Penguins by a late goal out of their hats in a game in which they were seemingly destined to be shut out. Now, Pittsburgh will look to pick up a third win in the Eastern Conference Semifinals when it really needs it on Wednesday night at Scotia Bank Place

The Miami Heat are just four wins away from the NBA Finals, but unfortunately for them, the Indiana Pacers are as well. There have been a few days for both of these teams to prepare for the Eastern Conference Finals, and on Wednesday, they’ll get it on for the first time in what is expected to be a special series between these two at American Airlines Arena.

Tuesday night on the diamond features a ton of great games, and though this one isn’t televised nationally, it certainly does feature the most star-studded pitching matchup of the bunch. The San Francisco Giants and the Washington Nationals are on a collision course for one another at AT&T Park, and the first pitch in the second game of this series will be thrown at 10:15 p.m. ET.
