It’s another jam-packed night of NBA Playoffs, as three Game 3s are on the docket. Tonight’s slate features two Western Conference series deadlocked at 1 and one Eastern Conference team trying to bounce back at home while facing a 2-0 deficit.
The Bucks were eliminated by the Heat as the top seed in last year’s Eastern Conference Semifinals, but Milwaukee has revenge on its mind after taking the first two contests of their series this time around. Now the two foes will square off for the first time in Miami, with the tip at 7:30 p.m. ET/4:30 p.m. PT on TNT.
Milwaukee (-125 on the moneyline) opened as a slight 1-point road favorite over Miami (+105 ML), and has since been bumped up to -1.5. The total has seen a bigger shift, swinging down from 227.5 to its current number of 225.
The majority of William Hill bettors will be rooting for the Bucks to extend their series lead to 3-0.

The defending champion Lakers will play their first playoff game at Staples Center since 2013 at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT, as LeBron James and Co. are aiming to take a 2-1 lead over the No. 2-seeded Suns. The Lakers have the second-lowest championship odds at William Hill Nevada at +280, and are the favorites to come out of the Western Conference at +115.
