Day 7 of the 2021 NBA Playoffs will bless us with an interesting three-game slate, featuring three road teams returning home for the first time of this First Round. Let us take a brief look at the three series we have on hand today. Our first game of the night, the New York Knicks-Atlanta Hawks series, has been one of the best first-round series. Split evenly at 1-1, Atlanta was able to steal Game 1 on the road, due to Trae Young’s game-winning runner but dropped Game 2 in a defensive battle. This matchup currently features a point total of 211.0, favoring Atlanta by 5.0 points.

Boston has looked a bit outmatched in the Brooklyn Nets-Boston Celtics series, losing the first two games on the road by a combined 33 points. Tonight will prove if they have enough left in the tank to make this a series on their homecourt. This matchup holds a 227.0 point total, favoring Brooklyn by 8.0 points. Finally, the Los Angeles Clippers-Dallas Mavericks series, which may have caught some of you by surprise, is currently sitting at 2-0 in favor of the fifth-seeded Dallas Mavericks. Dallas returns home for Game 3 in a matchup that carries a 219.5 point total, favoring Los Angeles by 2.5 points. The playoffs are a tremendous time to scout out opportunities and with limited options due to the smaller slate, make sure to check out our NBA Player Prop Tool if you’re looking to differentiate the value of today’s player prop bets.
