Monday’s Best NBA Bets
Let us look at the best bets for the games tonight.
Boston Celtics vs. Philadelphia 76ers
This series is among the most exciting ones we have seen in the playoffs. Boston and Philadelphia have legitimate chances to win the NBA championship this year. That means whoever wins this series could win the Eastern Conference. The matchup between these two teams has plenty of betting value if you know where to look.
One play that I love in this matchup is the total points over. Tonight it is 213.5 points. These teams average 217.25 combined points when playing each other and split 2-2 on scoring over 213.5 during the regular season. There is plenty of scoring talent on both of these teams. Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Joel Embiid, James Hardin, and Tyrese Maxey. All of these players can score points. That gives going over the total points betting value.
Bet: Total Points Over 213.5 (-110 DraftKings)
Denver Nuggets vs. Phoenix Suns
The Denver Nuggets are leading the series 1-0. They won the first game 125-107 and out-rebounded the Suns 49-38. Tonight, bettors will be interested to see how the Suns react after losing the first game. These teams split the series 2-2 during the regular season. That means anyone can win.
The Phoenix Suns have the betting value tonight. They split the series during the regular season, and coming off a loss will boost their betting value more in this game. The Suns have Durant, Booker, and Ayton, who can win any game. The underdog in this series will have plenty of betting value throughout, and bettors will want to use that to their advantage.
Bet: Phoenix Suns Moneyline (+150 DraftKings)
