The NBA Playoffs are heating up, and momentum is everything. As teams battle for a spot in the conference finals, bettors are finding great opportunities in pivotal matchups. Monday night was no exception, with two thrilling games that had major betting implications. The Knicks are now one win away from their first conference finals appearance in 25 years, while the Timberwolves are riding high after taking a commanding 3-1 lead against the Warriors.
Yesterday, we went a perfect 2 for 2 with our picks:
✅ Boston Celtics at New York Knicks – We covered the OVER of 208.5. Jalen Brunson’s 39-point performance and the Knicks’ strong offensive output propelled them to a 121-113 victory over the defending champions, Boston Celtics. The Knicks are now just one win away from advancing to the conference finals for the first time since 2000.
✅ Minnesota Timberwolves at Golden State Warriors – We covered the OVER of 200.5. Anthony Edwards dropped 30 points, and Julius Randle added 31 to lead the Timberwolves to a 117-110 victory over the Warriors, putting Minnesota up 3-1 in the series.
Now, let’s look at today’s top picks:
- Indiana Pacers at Cleveland Cavaliers – We like the UNDER to cover the 228.5 total. The total has gone OVER in 4 of Cleveland’s last 5 games against Indiana, but with Donovan Mitchell listed as Day-to-Day due to a left ankle sprain, this could turn into a more defensive battle. We’re expecting a slower pace and lower scoring output.
- Oklahoma City Thunder @ Denver Nuggets – We like the OVER to cover the 220.5 total. Denver is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games against Oklahoma City. The total has gone OVER in 5 of Denver’s last 7 games, and with Denver’s offensive firepower, we’re expecting another high-scoring affair.
Final Thoughts: These NBA bets are backed by strong trends and favorable matchups, making them worth considering for your wagers.
