Two games will continue the NBA playoffs Thursday.

Here are the two best bets as the playoffs continue. Odds are provided by Oddsshark.com. Postseason record so far: 7-13.

Chicago at Milwaukee (+3.5)

Who would have predicted this series to go six games when the Bulls built a 3-0 lead? I’m guessing that most had this one put away at least by game five, but here we are, with Chicago once again looking to close out the pesky Bucks.

Neither team can be trusted in this series against the spread, so this is a toss up. I’ve been on the Chicago bandwagon (unfortunately) for the last two games, thinking the Bulls would take care of business and end this series.

Surely, Milwaukee can’t win this series, right? This series just doesn’t feel like a seven-game set, so I’m going with the Bulls finally picking it up and blowing by the Bucks. I don’t see this as close as the Bulls turn up the defensive pressure and close out Milwaukee. Pick — Chicago

LA Clippers at San Antonio (-5.5)

This series has been my only saving grace, until Tim Duncan once again proved why he’s one of the best basketball players of all time during game five.

Picking against the Spurs is a bad idea in any series, but the Clippers have shown some life, other than the dreadful game three performance. I expect this to be close for awhile, but the Spurs show why they’re the defending NBA champs and close out the Clippers in style. Pick — San Antonio
