NBA Tips - Tuesday, May 6 NBA Picks & Multi

It’s been around a week and a half since we saw the Thunder in action, but they’re back against a Denver unit that just went the distance against the Clippers.

New York Knicks @ Boston Celtics (9:00am)

Has played well against the Celtics over the last two years since becoming a Knick, and was solid in the first-round against the Pistons.

Josh Hart averaged a PA of 17.7 per game in the first-round series, covering the line of 16.5 PA in four of the six games.

In Hart’s last eight games against Boston he averages 19.5 PA from an average of 36.9 minutes per game, covering 16.5 PA in six of those games including their last three match-ups since February. Thibs is highly predictable with his minutes, so even if the Knicks get blown out we’ll still see Hart play around 38+ minutes in Game 1.

SGM: Celtics / Over 212.5 Total Points / Hart Over 16.5 PA / Bridges 10+ Points = $4.50

Denver Nuggets @ OKC Thunder (11:30am)

Denver coming off a tough 7-game series against the Clippers and will now head to Oklahoma City to face a well-rested Thunder outfit who haven’t played in 9 days.

The Nuggets rode their starters the first-round – they had no other option. Jokic averaged 40 minutes, Murray 42, Gordon and Braun 39. The Thunder’s starters on the other hand played regular season minutes against Memphis, with SGA averaging 35, Jalen Williams 34 and Chet just 29 minutes per game.

If the Thunder get hold of the Nuggets early which is very possible, expect David Adelman to throw in the towel early and prepare for Game 2 where I think they’re more likely to ride Jokic and Murray attempting to level the series.

SGM: Thunder -9.5 / Jalen Williams 20+ Points / Jokic Under 28.5 Points = $4.00

Celtics + Over 212.5 Total Points / OKC -9.5 = $4.37
