NBA News (AP)
The Golden State Warriors became just the second team in NBA history to make at least five consecutive appearances in the NBA Finals when they accomplished the feat from 2015-19. They were unable to get any closer to Boston's record of 10 straight trips (1957-66), however, as they failed to qualify for the playoffs each of the next two seasons. Golden State can take another step toward returning to the Finals when it visits the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday for Game 5 of their Western Conference semifinal series, which it leads 3-1.
Another team looking to get back to the NBA Finals is in action Wednesday as the Milwaukee Bucks visit the Boston Celtics for a pivotal Game 5 in their Eastern Conference semifinal matchup. The defending champion Bucks squandered a chance to take a commanding lead in the series at home on Monday as Boston evened things at two wins apiece with a 116-108 triumph.

Top NBA playoff picks
One of the top NBA playoff picks for Wednesday the model recommends: Under 220.5 in the Warriors vs. Grizzlies game. The teams finished Under that total in three of their four regular-season meetings and have done so twice over the first two games of this series. They combined for just 199 points in Game 4 on Monday, which wasn't surprising since Memphis was without Ja Morant due to a bone bruise in his right knee.
Morant is expected to miss the remainder of the playoffs with the injury, making the Under an even more attractive play for Game 5. The 22-year-old point guard has averaged a team-high 27.1 points for the Grizzlies this postseason, while the team's next leading scorer - Desmond Bane - is producing nearly 10 fewer points (17.9). Jaren Jackson Jr., who is averaging 15.2 points, led Memphis with 21 on Monday while Bane had only eight on 3-of-8 shooting.'
