The two No. 1 seeds in the NBA Playoffs are in action Friday with the Cleveland Cavaliers visiting the Indiana Pacers and the Oklahoma City Thunder in Denver to take on the Nuggets. The Cavs are beat up and may once again be without three key players, including Evan Mobley, and they desperately need a win as they're down 2-0 to the Pacers. The Thunder blew a large lead in Game 1 but bounced back with a blowout Game 2 victory to even the series 1-1 as that series heads to Denver. 

Nikola Jokic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Donovan Mitchell are all key players to watch on Friday, and they're all part of NBA same-game parlays created using the SportsLine Projection Model.
