As the NBA playoffs heat up, the betting action is just as intense. Yesterday’s picks saw mixed results, but we’re back with two strong plays for today. Betting on totals has been a profitable angle lately, and we’re looking to cash in on a couple of high-scoring matchups. Let’s dive into the recap and today’s best NBA bets.
Recap of Yesterday’s Picks:
✅ Cleveland Cavaliers @ Indiana Pacers – We took the over 226.5 in this game, and it delivered. With the home fans expecting a comeback, Mitchell stepped up big, scoring clutch points and assisting Strus to close the game strong. The Cavaliers cruised to a 126-104 victory, covering the total with ease.
❌ Oklahoma City Thunder (-5.5) @ Denver Nuggets – We missed this one as the Thunder failed to cover the spread. Jamal Murray led the Nuggets to a 113-104 overtime win, with key contributions from Aaron Gordon and Michael Porter Jr., who battled through a shoulder injury to play a solid game.
Today’s NBA Picks:
- Boston Celtics @ New York Knicks – Over 206.5: The total has gone OVER in 7 of New York’s last 9 games played on a Saturday, and Boston has also trended towards the over, cashing in 4 of their last 5 Saturday games. With both teams in good offensive form, expect plenty of scoring in this matchup.
- Minnesota Timberwolves @ Golden State Warriors – Over 200.5: The Timberwolves have hit the OVER in 5 of their last 7 games in May, while Golden State has cashed the OVER in 13 of their last 20 matchups against Minnesota. With both teams pushing the pace, expect a high-scoring affair here as well.
