New Orleans Pelicans – Boston Celtics: 30.03.2024 22:00 CEST
This will be the most interesting game tonight. The Pelicans have proven themselves as they sit at the 5th seed in the West. They won their last game against the Bucks and now are aiming to win against the 1st seed in the East as well! Something you do not see too often this season is the Celtics losing back-to-back games. They lost both games against the Hawks. We are going tonight with Trey Murphy III grabbing at least 6 rebounds. Brandon Ingram is out for tonight, so that means more rebound chances for Trey Murphy III. Since Ingram got injured, Murphy has gone over this line in 4 straight games. He got 11,6,8 and 8 rebounds in those games. Last time they played the Celtics, Murphy got 4 rebounds with Ingram in the squad. His minutes have been up since Ingram was out, so we expect him to get at least 6 rebounds tonight.
Value bet/ the best odds: Trey Murphy III over 5.5 rebounds @-138 @FanDuel
Atlanta Hawks – Milwaukee Bucks: 31.03.2024 00:30 CEST
The Atlanta Hawks did something incredible by beating the Celtics two times in a row. They are on a 4-game winning streak, even without their best player, Trae Young. Dejounte Murray stepped up in the last game against the Celtics and scored 44 points. The Hawks had to fight in overtime to get the win! Currently, the Hawks are the 10th seed. It is the last seed that leads into the play-in tournament. If they could continue their winning streak, they might get to the 9th seed. Okongwu, Trae Young and Saddiq Bey are all out for tonight. Jalen Johnson is questionable for tonight, but we do not think he will play. The Hawks have had 4 tough games in a row, it will be hard for them against the Bucks tonight. The Bucks lost 2 games in a row. They are still at the 2nd seed, but the Knicks and the Cavaliers are threatening them. They need to start winning if they want to stay at the top. The Bucks lost the last games to the Pelicans and the Lakers. Both games were close, but the Bucks could not keep the lead. Damian Lillard is out tonight for personal reasons. Patrick Beverley, Khris Middleton and Giannis Antetokounmpo are all probable for tonight and should play. Last time these teams played against each other, the Bucks won 132-121. The Hawks are on a hot run at the moment and the Bucks desperately need to win! If the Hawks were not that injured, and had at least one of the main guys back, they would have been favorites tonight. However, it is hard to expect them to maintain this kind of level without their best players. Dejounte Murray needs another monster game if they want to win tonight. We believe that Giannis will step up tonight and lead the Bucks to victory! That being said, the Hawks is a value bet and you should go for it!
