Russell Westbrook has been important for the Nuggets these playoffs with the injury to MPJ, and should have another solid game when they return to Denver.

Cleveland Cavaliers @ Indiana Pacers (9:30am)
I’ve backed him a couple of times already this post-season, and his line has barely changed heading into Game 3 on their home court.
Aaron Nesmith has been great for the Pacers in the playoffs. He averages 16.3 points and 6.3 rebounds for a PR of 22.6, covering 17.5 in his last six games.
The Pacers understand the importance of their first home game – no team has ever come back from 3-0 in a series, and a win in Indiana will just about lock their spot in the Eastern Conference Finals. Nesmith is vitally important to this Indiana team due to his defensive role, so if he can stay out of foul trouble we should see him play around 34 minutes in this, and on recent form that’s an easy cover.
SGM: Mathurin 10+ Points / Mitchell 30+ Points / Nesmith Over 17.5 PR = $5.00
OKC Thunder @ Denver Nuggets (12:00pm)
Back at Denver for Game 3, with the Nuggets looking to bounce back after being smashed by the OKC in Game 2.
The Nuggets are going to Russ. Michael Porter Jr is injured and borderline unplayable at the moment, while Russ has been really solid this post-season.
Westbrook averages 15 points a game from his eight playoff games, which includes his 3-point effort in Game 3 against the Clippers, where he got injured early playing just nine minutes. Outside of that game, Westbrook has covered 13.5 in every other game these playoffs and going back to Denver I expect the Nuggets to be far more competitive with Westbrook playing a valuable role.
SGM: Westbrook Over 13.5 Points / Hartenstein 8+ Rebounds / Jokic 8+ Assists = $3.60

Pacers +3.5 / Thunder = $2.70
