As the NBA playoffs hit full stride, momentum and matchups are everything. With every possession magnified and star players stepping into the spotlight, betting lines can shift quickly—and smart bettors are staying sharp, watching key trends and taking advantage of every edge. At this point in the postseason, we’re focusing on situational stats, ATS momentum, and total movement to guide our picks.
Yesterday, we stayed hot with another perfect day on the board:
✅ Indiana Pacers (+6) cashed with ease as Pascal Siakam exploded for a playoff career-high 39 points, leading Indiana to a 114–109 win over the Knicks. That gives the Pacers a 2–0 series lead in the Eastern Conference Finals.
✅ We also hit the UNDER 225.5, as that final score of 114–109 kept us comfortably below the number. A big win both ways for Hot Streak Picks.
Today, we turn our attention to the Western Conference with two angles we like in the Thunder vs. Timberwolves matchup:
✅ Oklahoma City Thunder (-2.5) – The Thunder are 6-3 straight up in their last nine games against Minnesota, while the Timberwolves have struggled against the spread on Saturdays, going just 3-9 in their last 12 Saturday games. We like OKC to get it done and cover the small number.
✅ OVER 218 – Minnesota has hit the over in four of their last six games and eight of their last 12 in the month of May. These two teams have the firepower to push past the total, especially in a fast-paced playoff setting.
Final Thoughts
