The NBA playoffs continue on Friday with another three-game slate, starting with the Boston Celtics attempting to take a 3-0 series lead over the Orlando Magic. Jayson Tatum is listed as doubtful for Game 3 after the team's leading scorer suffered a wrist injury in the series opener and was then sidelined for Game 2.

Three Game 3s go down on Friday night. Boston and Indiana try to go up 3-0, while the Lakers and Wolves break a tie in the late window.

When was the last time a No. 7 seed (Warriors) was a betting favorite over a healthy No. 2 seed (Rockets)? Three of the four series in the West and at least one in the East (two if you're a big Pistons fan) could go either way.

THE LOS ANGELES LAKERS Lakers-Timberwolves is shaping up to be one heck of a battle. Los Angeles ground out a 94-85 win over Minnesota to even the series at one game apiece, a rock fight that featured the Timberwolves' fewest points and the Lakers' fewest points allowed in a game this season.
