The NBA season is heating up as we roll into the second round of the playoffs. Teams are digging deep, and bettors are looking for any edge they can find. With every game holding increased significance, finding the right plays has never been more crucial. Yesterday, we had a mixed bag, going 1 for 2 on our picks. Let’s break it down and get ready to bounce back with today’s best bets.
Yesterday, we started strong by hitting the over on 201.5 in the Golden State Warriors vs. Minnesota Timberwolves game. Julius Randle led the way with 24 points and 11 assists, helping the Timberwolves dominate in a 117-93 victory, taking advantage of Stephen Curry’s absence. Unfortunately, we missed on the Warriors (+10.5), as they couldn’t keep it close against the surging Timberwolves.
Now, let’s dive into today’s top plays:
- Cleveland Cavaliers @ Indiana Pacers – Over 226.5
- The total has gone OVER in 6 of Cleveland’s last 7 games, and 4 of their last 5 against Eastern Conference opponents. Look for the Cavs to push the pace and for the Pacers to respond, making this one a high-scoring affair.
- Oklahoma City Thunder (-5.5) @ Denver Nuggets
- The Thunder have been a covering machine, going 15-5 ATS in their last 20 games and 8-1 ATS in their last 9 when playing in Denver. With their strong road form and Denver’s inconsistency, we’re backing OKC to cover the -5.5 spread.
