Knicks vs Heat Predictions & Best Bets

Tonight at 7:30 PM on TNT

The Miami Heat started the Eastern Conference Semifinals with a Mike Breen “BANG”, stealing Game 1 on the road in New York. As they prepare for Game 2, they'll aim to take a commanding lead in the series.

The matchup is a weird one with injuries to star players, including doubts about Julius Randle's availability and hopes for Jalen Brunson’s and Jimmy Butler's returns to the court for a critical game 2 at MSG.

The renewed rivalry wasn’t exactly expected with Miami going up against Milwaukee — the favorite to win it all — in the opening round, but Butler‘s level of production was enough to get the team through. Will hiss play continue through the second round?

While Miami claimed a win in Game 1, the Heat are 16-30-3 ATS this season after a win… the fourth worst in the NBA. Additionally, the Knicks are 4-0 ATS in their last four games following an ATS loss.

For the total, the under is 21-6 in the last 27 meetings between the two teams in New York and the under is 6-0 in the last six Knicks games overall.

Lakers vs Warriors Predictions & Best Bets

Tonight at 10:00 PM on TNT

The Golden State Warriors are considered the early favorites in their second-round NBA playoff series against the Los Angeles Lakers, with oddsmakers opening the odds at -165 for the Warriors to win the series.

The Warriors secured their spot in the second round with a thrilling 120-100 Game 7 victory over the Kings, fueled by an extraordinary performance by Stephen Curry, who scored 50 points — the highest ever by a player in a Game 7 in NBA playoff history - in their second road win of the series.

Meanwhile, the Lakers, who easily won Game 6 against the Memphis Grizzlies by 40 points at home, will face off against the Warriors in what is expected to be the best series in the 2023 NBA Playoffs.

I don’t have a parlay for tonight’s game because I would like to see how both teams play each other since It’s the first time Curry and James have faced off in a playoff series that wasn’t the NBA Finals or when James was on the Cavaliers. However, I anticipate an intense series that should go to seven games. Additionally, there is currently a boost available on DratKings for James and Curry to score a combined 60+ points at +140, up from the original odds of +100.
