NBA playoff action continues to heat up as teams battle for a shot at the championship. Yesterday, we went 1 for 2, holding steady as we aim for a profitable weekend. With momentum building and key players stepping up, we’re locked in on a couple of promising plays for today’s slate.
Recapping yesterday’s picks: We hit the over 226.5 in the Boston Celtics vs. New York Knicks game, which easily covered as Boston regained its shooting touch. Jayson Tatum led the way with 22 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists, while Payton Pritchard dropped 23 in Boston’s 115-93 win over New York. Unfortunately, our Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Golden State Warriors over 200.5 pick didn’t cash, as Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle combined for a standout night but couldn’t push the total over in a 102-97 finish.
Now, let’s move on to today’s top two picks:
- Oklahoma City Thunder (-6.5) @ Denver Nuggets We’re backing the Thunder to cover -6.5 against a struggling Denver team. Oklahoma City has been dominant on the road, going 16-2 SU in its last 18 games away from home. Meanwhile, Denver has struggled to cover on Sundays, going just 1-4-1 ATS in its last six home games played on this day.
- Indiana Pacers (+5) vs. Cleveland Cavaliers We’re rolling with the Pacers +5 as they look to continue their impressive run against Eastern Conference foes. Indiana is 6-3 ATS in its last nine games and has won four of its last five against Eastern Conference opponents. With Cleveland’s recent inconsistencies, we expect the Pacers to keep this one close.
Final Thoughts: These NBA bets are backed by strong trends and favorable matchups, making them worth considering for your wagers.
