Although James Harden may not be the star of the show when it comes to scoring tonight, we expect the former league MVP to have an impact on the boards. The Los Angeles Clippers head into a monster Game 7 tonight with the deeper roster and a healthy Kawhi Leonard — yet the baggage of James Harden’s past elimination game no-shows still looms large.

A hobbled Jalen Brunson couldn’t save the New York Knicks down the stretch in Game 5, but he’ll get another chance to take down the Detroit Pistons tonight as the series shifts back to Little Caesars Arena. Though he’s New York’s best scorer, he impacts the game in other ways, too. After digging through the Jalen Brunson odds, my NBA picks for this May 1 clash point to a playmaking clinic.

This is still the portion of the MLB season ripe for overreaction, but so far we’ve got some competitive divisions taking shape — and tonight’s slate should add to the early fight for positioning. That includes an NL West race, which looks as good as advertised. Just 1.5 games separate the top three teams, and we’ve got a heavyweight clash on deck here as the San Francisco Giants and San Diego Padres collide.

Despite a lot of bad blood, there weren’t many signs the Milwaukee Bucks could make this a close series through the first two contests, but they pegged back in Game 3, and Giannis Antetokounmpo & Co. can level things up tonight. With role players making huge contributions — not least Gary Trent Jr., who drilled nine 3-pointers on Friday — the Pacers vs. Bucks props market is deeper than usual, and point guard star power doesn’t get much better than Tyrese Haliburton vs Damian Lillard.

It takes a lot to pierce the calm around the Boston Celtics, but the Orlando Magic have certainly ruffled some feathers as we head into tonight’s Game 4. Injuries to Jayson Tatum, Kristaps Porzingis, and Jaylen Brown have left Boston frustrated with the level of physicality in this series, but my Celtics vs. Magic predictions expect the visitors to rise above that and move within a win of the second round. Get the lowdown on this April 27 battle with my free NBA picks and betting angles.
