The NBA Playoffs are in full swing, and momentum is everything as teams battle for a shot at the championship. After a rough night for Boston, the New York Knicks celebrated their first conference finals berth in 25 years, ending the Celtics’ title defense with a decisive 119-81 win. As the intensity ramps up, we’re looking at two key matchups for today’s action.
Yesterday’s Recap: We went 0 for 2.
Boston Celtics (+3) at New York Knicks – We missed on the Celtics +3. The Knicks were unstoppable, cruising to a blowout victory behind their aggressive play and relentless defense, limiting Boston to just 81 points on 36% shooting.
Boston Celtics at New York Knicks – We also missed the OVER of 211. Boston’s offensive struggles kept the total well under, with the Celtics shooting a disappointing 31-86 from the field.
Now, let’s dive into today’s picks:
- Oklahoma City Thunder (-8.5) vs Denver Nuggets: We like the Thunder to cover -8.5. Oklahoma City is 11-3 SU in its last 14 games, showing strong form heading into this matchup. Despite being 1-7 ATS in their last 8, their recent play suggests they’re primed to bounce back and cover.
- Oklahoma City Thunder @ Denver Nuggets – Over 213: The total has gone OVER in 8 of Denver’s last 12 games on the road, and 6 of Denver’s last 9 games overall. Expect a high-scoring affair as both teams push the pace and aim to capitalize on scoring opportunities.
