Tonight at 8:30 p.m. ET, The Action Network’s King of the Hill 1-on-1 NBA tournament will continue with two games. We’ll be airing the games back-to-back-to-back-to-back live on our Twitter handle and our Twitch stream.

If you missed the action thus far, here are the previous streams and results.

Tonight’s games are listed below, along with how our NBA experts are projecting them to go. Good luck!

1. Kawhi Leonard vs. 4. Damian Lillard

8:30 p.m. ET | Watch @ActionNetworkHQ & Twitch

Spread: Kawhi -4.5
Moneyline: Kawhi -700, Lillard +500
Over/Under: 17.5

We’re down to some incredibly juicy matchups, and there’s no better example than Kawhi — our No. 1 overall seed pre-tournament — against Lillard, who has been a hero so far.

Lillard’s first two games have both ended with game-winning 2-pointers. Will he keep up the magic?

Here are our staff’s picks …

Phan: Lillard +4.5, Kawhi -700, Over 17.5
Moore: Lillard +4.5, Lillard +500, Over 17.5

2. Kevin Durant vs. 6. Jaylen Brown

8:30 p.m. ET | Watch @ActionNetworkHQ & Twitch

Spread: Durant -4.5
Moneyline: Durant -800, Brown +600
Over/Under: 17.5

Jaylen shocked a lot of viewers and bettors by taking down Celtics teammate Jayson Tatum in the Round of 32. Up tonight is a much tougher task in Kevin Durant, who has streamrolled through the first two rounds.

Will Jaylen pull off another upset or will KD take care of business?
