As we move deeper into the NBA playoffs, the intensity ramps up, and so do the betting opportunities. Teams are making adjustments, key players are stepping up, and the lines are getting sharper. This is the perfect time to ride the momentum and capitalize on favorable matchups and trends.
Yesterday was a perfect day for us as we went 2 for 2. Let’s take a quick look at how things played out:
✅ Indiana Pacers (+9) at Cleveland Cavaliers: We liked the Pacers to cover the +9, and they did more than just that. Haliburton nailed a clutch 3-pointer with 1.1 seconds left, leading the Pacers to an upset victory over the top-seeded Cavs, 120-119. The Pacers scored the last eight points in just under 48 seconds, taking a commanding 2-0 lead in the series.
✅ Golden State Warriors (+7) @ Minnesota Timberwolves: With Curry sidelined due to a hamstring strain, Buddy Hield and Draymond Green stepped up big, knocking down crucial 3-pointers. Jimmy Butler showcased a vintage performance, leading the Warriors to a 99-88 win in Game 1 of the second-round series.
Now, let’s look at today’s top NBA picks:
- New York Knicks at Boston Celtics – Over 211.5 The total has gone OVER in 4 of Boston’s last 6 games against New York, and 5 of their last 7 games played in May. Expect a fast-paced game with plenty of scoring opportunities, making the over a solid play.
- Denver Nuggets (+10.5) @ Oklahoma City Thunder Denver has been solid against the spread, going 4-0-1 ATS in their last five games and 4-2 ATS in their last six against the Thunder. With that kind of consistency, the Nuggets +10.5 looks like a strong value pick.
