At 6:00pm ET, my Eastern Conference Slam Dunk is on Cleveland. The Pacers were competitive in the regular season but now will get a taste of how good the Cavaliers really are. Indiana is 21-21 on the road. Cleveland is 36-7 at home. Indiana just had to battle with everything to get past the Bucks. Cleveland took the life out of Miami from the start, crushing the spirit of the Heat and winning the final 2 games by 37 and 55 points. The Pacers play at a very fast pace that was too much for Milwaukee. The Cavaliers have the athleticism to keep up with them though as well as a greater ability to slow the Pacers down. Their superior defense will dictate today's outcome. Cleveland wins by more than 10. Lay the points. 

At 9:00am ET, my EPL Annihilator is on Newcastle United. Some may not yet realize how strong NewCastle is this year. The gap between these teams is entirely real. The Magpies have won six of their last seven top-flight matches. The Magpies, who have the fourth-best away record in the Premier League, have a +21 goal differential. The Seagulls will be without Joao Pedro, their top scorer, as he's suspended. The Magpies can taste that top 4 finish and they won't let the opportunity for maximum points escape them. Play on Newcastle
