NBA playoffs, betting odds, picks: Bucks respond at home against Nets; take the over in Clippers-Jazz Game 2 - CBS Sports

Covering the impact of coronavirus on the sports world.

I picked the Atlanta Hawks to beat the Philadelphia 76ers before their second-round series began, but I made that pick on the assumption that Joel Embiid would miss multiple games due to injury.

Now, it's Atlanta that's dealing with a major health problem.

He was instrumental in slowing down Julius Randle in the first round, and the Hawks have been 14.4 points per 100 possessions better in the postseason with him in the lineup?

I agree that CBS Sports can send me the "CBS Sports HQ Newsletter".

But if this team has any fight left in it whatsoever, we're going to see it now, and for what it's worth, the last time Brooklyn built a 2-0 lead, it lost Game 3 on the road to Boston

Game 1 of this series featured 221 total points, but got there despite Mike Conley missing the game, Paul George shooting 4 of 17 from the field and the Jazz missing 21 straight shots in the first quarter
