Inquirer handicapper Vegas Vic lays out his plays for Wednesday.

NBA

Las Vegas -- Well done, Paul Pierce.

The former Celtic star, now part of the ESPN crew, predicted that the Boston/Milwaukee series was OVER after the Cs won the first game. Guessing that Double P AIN’T gonna open a handicapping business since the Bucks have won the next three, and should sweep the Beantown kids out of the playoffs.

Not thrilled with laying 9 points, but this group from Brewtown is looking better with every game. They have won AND covered seven of the last eight, and as we mentioned in the Game 4 prediction, their BENCH is KILLING it. The Bucks got 32 points from the second unit, while the Celtics struggled to get seven, yeah SEVEN! And not quite sure what happened to Gordon Hayward, but TWO points in 27 minutes ain’t gonna cut it.

So after looking at the high-priced spread, thinking about a two team 6-point teaser. Drop Milwaukee from -9 to -3 points, then swing out West, and slice the Warriors from -6 to pick’em. And that’s gonna be $70 to win back $50.

On to the ice for another great night, another Game 7, baby! And Double V is gonna tickle the Avalanche.

Colorado KNOWS how to close a series on the road. In the first round, they sent the Flames home for the summer with a stunning 5-1 win AT Calgary. Putting up $50 to win back $60 on the Avs.
