NBA Predictions & Preview For Wednesday, May 7th

The two favorites to make it to the NBA Finals this season took it on the chin in Game 1 on their home courts. Will they bounce back tomorrow or go down 0-2 as they hit the road? Here are your NBA predictions and preview for Wednesday, May 7th.

NBA Predictions & Preview For Wednesday, May 7th

New York Knicks vs Boston Celtics

Start Time – 7:00 PM EST

The Boston Celtics had their win probability up to 98.2% in the third quarter of Game 1, only to lose 108-105 in overtime to the New York Knicks. I guess that’s why it wasn’t a 100% win probability.

Can the Knicks pull off the repeat performance on the road in Game 2, or, more importantly for us degens, at least cover the spread? My line is Boston -7, so I’ve got the Knicks covering once again tomorrow.

Best Bet: New York +10.5 (-106)

Denver Nuggets vs Oklahoma City Thunder

Start Time – 9:30 PM EST

Death, taxes, and the Oklahoma City Thunder covering the spread used to be a thing, but those days are gone, apparently, as the Denver Nuggets stole Game 1 on the Thunder’s court (damn you Aaron Gordon, damn youuuuuuuuu!!). Does that change my play for Game 2?

Nope. I can’t let one game outweigh a season’s worth of data. Oklahoma City -12 is my line, so the Thunder better get their act together and cover for us on Wednesday.

Best Bet: Oklahoma City -10.5 (-110)

Overall Record: 179-150 (54%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $1,353.02
Return on Investment: 4%
