The NBA playoffs continue today, and there are four games in store for us. Below, we’ll go through the best bets from this exciting four-game slate, this Wednesday, April 26.
NBA Best Bet #1: Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 0.5 Three-Pointers Made (-110)
Miami Heat vs. Milwaukee Bucks Match Details
Fixture: Miami Heat @ Milwaukee Bucks
Date & Time: Wednesday, April 26, 9:30 p.m. EDT
Venue: Fiserv Forum, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
The top-seeded Milwaukee Bucks find themselves down 3-1 in this series after they blew a big fourth-quarter lead in Miami in Game 4. Now, with their backs against the wall, they’ll look to defend home court to force a Game 6. Superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo played his first full game of the series on Monday, recording a triple-double in the loss. Giannis only took one three in that game, but looking at his recent playoff history, he had converted a three-pointer in five of his past six full postseason games before Monday. Expect the two-time MVP to be the center of the offense, and look for him to jack up a couple of threes during the game as well.
NBA Best Bet #2: Sacramento Kings -2.5 Alternate Spread (+135)
Golden State Warriors vs. Sacramento Kings Match Details
Fixture: Golden State Warriors @ Sacramento Kings
Date & Time: Wednesday, April 26, 10:00 p.m. EDT
Venue: Golden 1 Center, Sacramento, California
The Warriors successfully defended their home court, evening up the series at two games apiece, making this a best-of-three. Now, we head to Game 5, with the pressure back on the Kings. Star point guard De’Aaron Fox has been nursing a finger injury, but he’s on track to play tonight despite that. Even with Fox not at 100%, the Kings have the advantage being that the Warriors went 11-30 on the road this year. The Kings’ electric crowd should be the difference maker here, as it was in Games 1&2, so expect Sacramento to re-gain the series lead in a game that is almost a must-win for them.
NBA Best Bet #3: Kevon Looney Under 3.5 Assists (-135)
Golden State Warriors vs. Sacramento Kings Match Details
Fixture: Golden State Warriors @ Sacramento Kings
Date & Time: Wednesday, April 26, 10:00 p.m. EDT
Venue: Golden 1 Center, Sacramento, California
Kevon Looney has been excellent for the Warriors this series, especially in Games 3&4 at home. One game Draymond Green missed, which allowed Looney to have one of his best games ever, where he tallied 20 rebounds and nine assists. He then went on to dish out six assists in Game 4 with Green coming off the bench. Still, as well as Looney has been playing, he can’t keep up these assist numbers. In Game 1, he had just one assist, and in Game 2, he had two, so expect him to be closer to those totals tonight. The former UCLA big man averaged just 2.2 dimes on the road this season, so look for him to stay under four tonight in Game 5.
