NBA Picks April 24th

Miami Heat vs. Boston Celtics

Tipoff – 7:00 pm EST
Spread: Celtics -14.5
Total: 204.5

This isn’t a very fair matchup, especially with Jimmy Butler and Terry Rozier not suiting up for the Miami Heat. The Boston Celtics are all business and look like they plan on keeping their foot on the pedal.

While Boston’s 20-point win in Game 1 looks impressive, it should have been even better. They led the Heat by 32 points heading into the fourth quarter before letting Miami make it look more respectable. There’s no reason not to think Boston won’t cover the 14.5 points in Game 2, as well.

Best Bet: Celtics -14.5 (-102)

 

 

New Orleans Pelicans vs. Oklahoma City Thunder

Tipoff – 9:30 pm EST
Spread: Thunder -8.5
Total: 213.5

Our late game on Tuesday sees the Oklahoma City Thunder look to hold serve on their home court against the New Orleans Pelicans. It took some heroics from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to get the job done in Game 1, but OKC snuck out a win.

Which leads me to think that the Pelicans can surprise again in Game 2. Or, at the very least, make the 8.5-point spread look too wide. Also, these two teams combined for 186 points in Game 1 – I don’t see them scoring 28 more in the second game, so let’s hit the over.

Best Bet: Pelicans +8.5 (-111); Pelicans/Thunder Over 213.5 (-111)
