After a fairly brutal first round, Ed Feng looked to get back into the black with a Clippers victory. Alas, it wasn’t to be as the Clippers ran out of gas. That leaves Ed currently down $51,527. However, all is not last as Ed may yet find himself back on the positive side with an Atlanta Hawks victory:
An Atlanta series victory would guarantee Ed a profit heading into the NBA finals. However, Ed’s expected value for the first three rounds net out to $110,780, so Ed’s EV isn’t necessarily predictive of success. Speaking of predictions, Ed’s series odds now include injuries, which may be why he is so bullish on Atlanta. The loss of Kevin Love appears to a major factor in Ed’s projections. We’ll see how that works out over the next fortnight
