The NBA playoffs are heating up, and every game brings new opportunities for savvy bettors. With the intensity rising and teams fighting to stay alive, we’re diving into today’s top picks with confidence and a strategy-driven approach. Momentum is everything this time of year, and understanding how teams handle pressure can be the key to cashing in.
Yesterday, we went 1 for 2, breaking even on the day:
✅ Oklahoma City Thunder (-6.5) @ Denver Nuggets – The Thunder came away with a hard-fought 92-87 win but failed to cover the spread. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander shined in crunch time, scoring nine of his 25 points in the fourth quarter, bringing the series back to Oklahoma City tied at 2-2.
✅ Indiana Pacers (+5) vs Cleveland Cavaliers – The Pacers dominated, easily covering the spread and winning outright. Pascal Siakam poured in 21 points, while Myles Turner and Obi Toppin each added 20. The Pacers set a playoff record with a 41-point halftime lead, cruising to a 129-109 victory and taking a commanding 3-1 series lead.
Now, let’s move on to today’s top picks:
- Boston Celtics at New York Knicks – We’re taking the OVER 208.5. The Knicks have seen the OVER hit in 4 of their last 6 Monday games, and with both teams capable of explosive runs, we’re projecting the total to soar past the mark and settle around 220 points.
- Minnesota Timberwolves at Golden State Warriors – We’re banking on the OVER 200.5. Despite Golden State’s trend of hitting the UNDER in 5 of their last 7 as an underdog, we’re going against the grain here. With plenty of offensive firepower on the floor, we predict the final total to land near 220.
