We’ll find out a lot about some NBA and NHL playoff teams today with two favorites down 2-0 and on the road. The betting market still has faith that the Celtics (-120 in the series) can come back against the Knicks (+100). Not so much for Vegas’ hometown heroes, the Golden Knights, who are +400 underdogs vs. the Oilers (-550).   Which brings us to today’s NBA games:Game 3: Celtics (-5.5 at Circa) at Knicks, 3:30 ET, ABC. NY leads 2-0. Game 3: Timberwolves (-5) vs. Warriors, 8:30 ET, ABC. Tied at 1.

Is there any hope for the Curry-less Warriors? After Golden State’s 117-93 Game 2 loss to the Timberwolves (-11) on Thursday night, that was my question to VSiN.com senior editor Zach Cohen:   I’m a little biased because I have been in on Minnesota — while hating on Golden State — for a while, but I don’t think so.

The public was on the Celtics, at least according to the Circa and DraftKings betting splits. Contestants in the VSiN KillerSports NBA Playoff Challenge unanimously picked the Celtics. And those Boston backers were probably feeling pretty good up 20 on the Knicks with 2:15 left in the third quarter.   Actually, given the number of blown 20-point leads in the playoffs so far, maybe that’s when the sweat should have started.

Three days into the second round of the NBA playoffs, what do we know? Steph Curry is hurt. A second-half lead of 20 points isn’t what it used to be. Road teams, all underdogs, are 5-0. The top-seeded Cavs are in trouble. Curry was injured in the second quarter, but the Warriors (+6) forged ahead without him to beat the Timberwolves 99-88 in their series opener. Warriors coach Steve Kerr said Curry is day-to-day with a strained left hamstring and will have an MRI today.
