There are some pretty hot sports handicappers over at the G911 Sports Hub.  With the NBA Playoffs in full swing, we'll want to check out the streaking NBA cappers.

Tuesday Night's Odds

76ers vs. Knicks

New York is a -4 home favorite with the line having opened at -3.5. 

This is the one series where the number has been on the money each time as we get the Knicks 3.9 courtesy of Sagarin. 

New York is looking to advance with a win on Tuesday night.  Aside from the first game where the Knicks beat Philadelphia 111-104, this series has been close, for the Sixers at least.  Philadelphia has lost by no more than 5 points and have one blowout win at home.

Cappers who are betting this game  include Tonny Ricci, who continues to outperform in the NBA, though he's cooled off just a bit.

Ricci is on the Over 202 for this game.

James Acker is another of the hot cappers right now, in particular in the NBA.  He is on Philadelphia +4.

The line on this game did open at Knicks -3, which appears to be a sucker bet getting folks to jump on New York.  But the oddsmakers did move this one to -4.5, then back to -4.

Be forewarned, the consensus play here is the Knicks and a few of the cappers backing New York on the spread have been doing well with their NBA plays.

Magic vs. Cavs

There is around a 3 point overlay here.  We get a number of Cleveland 1.55.  This one opened at -4.5 and has moved to -5. 

Don't jump on the Magic based on this information.  There was an overlay in both games of this series played in Cleveland and the Cavaliers easily covered.  Both those games featured a line of -5/-5.5.

This has been a home series.  The Magic went on to dominate Cleveland on their own home court the last two games, more so than the Cavs dominated Orlando in Cleveland.

Winners and Whiners didn't have faith in the Magic those first two games played in Cleveland, and they don't have faith in them here.

"The Magic looked dominant at home, but I don't put too much value in those outcomes. They weren't competitive in games one and two in Cleveland, and the Cavaliers are due for positive shooting regression.

"I expect Cleveland to get back to its winning ways by holding their own on the glass (+14 rebounding margin in game one and +7 in game two) and scoring more buckets in the paint. Limiting Orlando's fast break opportunities will also be a key to game five. The Magic are unlikely to shoot the ball as efficiently as on Saturday (55.8%). As long as the Cavs score early and often inside, offensively-challenged Orlando will crumble under the pressure of matching baskets with Cleveland.

"I predict the Cavs will get out to an early lead and use their home court to their advantage, holding off the Magic's comeback efforts. Cleveland will win and cover in game five!"

The Cavs have it for the most part at the G911 Sports Hub as well with resident expert Sports Hub Insider backing Cleveland here as well.

Action is 65% on Cleveland with the spread and the line has moved up a half point. 

We also like the Cavs here at -5.5.

Pacers vs. Bucks

The line on this one moved from Pacers -3.5 to -4.5 as the Pacers are looking to advance in this potential elimination game.

Unfortunately for the Bucks they've been riddled with injuries, including their top stars Damian Lillard, Giannis Antetokounmpo.  Both are reportedly in doubt for Tuesday night's game.

The wrong team is favored here, but that assumes everyone is healthy.  There is approximately a 7-point discrepancy, meaning the absent players are worth seven points.
