As the NBA playoffs heat up, momentum is everything—and when you’re on a hot streak, you ride it. After a perfect 2-for-2 night, we’re back with more sharp plays to keep your betting bankroll on the rise.
We’re deep into the first-round series, and every game now carries the weight of a season. Teams are either fighting to close out or battling to stay alive—and that creates betting value. Momentum matters, but so does identifying trends the public might overlook. That’s where we come in.
Yesterday was a clean sweep.
✅ The Houston Rockets @ Golden State Warriors game soared over the total of 204.5, hitting 222. Fred VanVleet was everywhere—29 points, 8 boards, 8 dimes—while Sengun dominated the paint with a 21/14 double-double to force a Game 7 with a 115–107 win.
✅ And for those who rode with Houston +5.5, you cashed easily with the Rockets winning outright by 8. Let’s keep that momentum rolling.
Today’s Picks:
Los Angeles Clippers @ Denver Nuggets — Over 206.5 Total
While the total has skewed under in many recent matchups between these two, Denver games in May have a different energy. The Nuggets have gone over in 4 of their last 6 May games, and with both teams locked in for a pivotal battle, we like this one to go over the modest 206.5 line.
Los Angeles Clippers (+1.5) @ Denver Nuggets
The Clippers are quietly covering spreads on the road—going 9-2 ATS in their last 11 away. Meanwhile, Denver has struggled against the number at home, going just 3-14 ATS in their last 17. With the Clippers getting the edge here and the line still giving them points, we’re riding with LA to cover.
Final Thoughts:
These NBA bets are backed by strong trends and favorable matchups, making them worth considering for your wagers. Whether you’re placing bets on FanDuel, DraftKings, PrizePicks, Underdog, Sleeper, or BetMGM, these plays have solid value based on recent performances. As always, bet responsibly and enjoy the action!
