The Mavericks’ 16-2 run down the stretch proved they can be a postseason force. They’ve got the best backcourt in the West, while defensive upgrades in February have made them really hard to stop. The Mavs have become very efficient offensively in the back-half of the campaign and in Luka Doncic they boast a near unstoppable offensive force, alongside NBA champion Kyrie Irving.

The Knicks are great outsiders to win the Eastern Conference but backing them each-way for the title offers a better return. The Knicks were second in the regular season and they’ve improved since adding OG Anunoby midway through the campaign. The former Toronto Raptor has been on a title-winning roster, while he’s a solid postseason option and a defensive superstar. The Knicks have Jalen Brunson in the form of his life, so they’re fantastic outsiders to win the East.

The Pacers return home after a frustrating first two games in New York. The Pacers will play in front of a passionate fan base after being essentially screwed by officials while they were on the road. Their head coach submitted a formal document containing 78 fouls that were missed. With OG Anunoby out, this is a perfect bounce back spot for the Pacers to keep this series competitive.

The defending champion Denver Nuggets are in an 0-2 hole, but bettors should back them at +4.5 in Game 3 against Minnesota. With stars like Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and championship experience, the Nuggets have excellent value to fight back in this series.

Both teams play at a relatively slow pace, adding another factor pointing to an Under result. With the defensive intensity ramping up and Denver fighting to avoid an 0-3 hole, expect another low-scoring, physical affair in Game 3. The Under 205 has a great chance to hit again.

Florida is the real deal, and have one of the best rosters with talent and depth throughout its entirety. They outmatch Boston, and should give them a very difficult time, even as a road team in a tough building. This could be a statement game for Florida, and you can expect them to be ready to bring it. 

Both teams are coming into this game hot with D-backs riding a 4 game win streak and the Orioles winning 7 out of their last 10. Don’t let the D-backs fool you though, as they are only 5-5 in their last 10. The Orioles also have a strong pitching advantage with Cole Irvin performing overwhelmingly better than Brandon Pfaadt.
