Round 1 continues with some big games expected across the league!
The NBA playoffs are heating up, with a range of outcomes from sweeps to tight battles. Sunday April 23 brings more chaos, with a full slate of games that bettors are eagerly anticipating. Let's take a look at the odds and picks for some of the most exciting matchups.
New York Knicks vs Cleveland Cavaliers
The New York Knicks are favored at $1.77 while the Cleveland Cavaliers are currently sitting at $2.20. After an embarrassing Game 3, the Cavs are looking for Donovan Mitchell to step up and help carry them to a series-tying win in Game 4.
Our pick for this game is Cleveland +2.5, currently at $1.91.
Golden State Warriors vs Sacramento Kings
Meanwhile, the Golden State Warriors are favored at $1.30, while the Sacramento Kings are the underdogs at $3.75. With Draymond Green back in the lineup, we're expecting the Warriors to be too strong defensively for the Kings, but we also believe that Sacramento will keep it close and cover the line.
Our pick for this game is Sacramento +7.5, currently at $1.91.
Boston Celtics vs Atlanta Hawks
In the Boston Celtics vs. Atlanta Hawks matchup, the Celtics are currently the favorites at $1.42 while the Hawks are sitting at $3. Despite the Hawks' big Game 3 win, we believe that Boston's strong defense will prove to be too much for Trae Young and his team.
Our pick for this game is Boston -6, currently at $1.91.
Denver Nuggets vs Minnesota Timberwolves
Finally, the Denver Nuggets are currently favored at $1.63 while the Minnesota Timberwolves are the underdogs at $2.42. The Nuggets have proven themselves to be the better team in this series so far, and we expect them to complete the sweep with another victory in Minnesota.
Our pick for this game is Denver -6, currently at $1.91.
