Boston Celtics @ Philadelphia 76ers – 3:30PM ET

The Boston Celtics looked incredible in their victory during game number three of this series, and they will be looking to replicate that performance here in game number four as well. If Boston can manage to pick up their second consecutive victory of the series in Philadelphia and head home with a three games to one advantage, the series will be all but wrapped up prior to game number five in Boston later this week. Despite having Joel Embiid back, the Philadelphia 76ers looked completely outmatched in the last game and I look for Boston to come out with the same mindset and energy as they showed in game three in Philadelphia the other night.

The Philadelphia 76ers will come into this one looking to bounce back and defend their home floor after they were thrashed in game number three of this series at home last week. Even having their most valuable player award winner Joel Embiid back in the lineup didn’t help Philadelphia all that much, as they were unable to stop Jayson Tatum, and they will have to adjust to that if they want to pick up another victory in the series and keep their hopes alive. However, I simply do not see that happening at this point as I think the Boston Celtics will pick up another comfortable victory here on Sunday afternoon against Philadelphia.

Denver Nuggets @ Phoenix Suns –  8PM ET

Tony Battalio

After two strong showings at home during the first couple games of the second round series, the Nuggets looked to take a three to nothing advantage over  Phoenix in game number three. Unfortunately, despite an incredible performance from Nikola Jokić, that didn’t happen, and now Denver will be looking to bounce back here in Game number four and pick up their third victory of the series before heading back home for game five. Jokić will certainly have to replicate his performance from the previous game if Denver wants to have a shot at getting the win over Phoenix at home here on Sunday evening.

The Phoenix Suns come into this one after their solid victory in game number three of the series at home last week. Now they will be looking to pick up their second consecutive victory of the series and tie the series up at two games apiece before heading back to Denver for game five. They will need another incredible performance from the likes of Devin Booker and Kevin Durant if they want to grab a second victory in this series here on Sunday evening at home. That is exactly what I expect as I look for the Phoenix Suns to grab another comfortable victory over the Denver Nuggets here in this game on Sunday night.
