Heat vs Bulls Quick Bet to Make
Coby White is our guy tonight. We are going with him getting at least 10 rebounds + assists. He has gone over this line in two straight games against the Heat. With so many injuries, Coby White has to step up again, and we believe that he will cover this line easily.
That being said, Coby White getting at least 10 rebounds + assists is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Coby White over 9.5 rebounds + assists @-120 @FanDuel
New Orleans Pelicans vs Sacramento Kings Best Bet
9:30PM EST
New Orleans, LA
Smoothie King Center
For April 19, 2024, we will look at the game between the New Orleans Pelicans and Sacramento Kings. This is a play-in tournament game between the 7th and 9th seed. A win here would guarantee them the playoff spot. The Sacramento Kings won their game in the semifinal against the Warriors. The Pelicans were defeated by the Lakers as we predicted, and now have another chance at getting into the playoffs. Expect a high-intensity game.
The Pelicans lost their first play-in game against the Lakers. They had a decent chance, but Zion Williamson got hurt late in the fourth quarter. Before that game, the Pelicans had won 4 of their last 5 games. They looked solid with Zion, but right now without him, they will have big problems offensively. Brandon Ingram was benched in the fourth quarter of that game because of his attitude. We believe that he will step up tonight and be a leader.
The Kings won in Sacramento against the Warriors. Their defense was just incredible in that game. Klay Thompson did not score a single bucket in the game. Before that game, the Kings were in bad form. However, they showed us that they are playoff ready, even without one of their best players, Malik Monk.

Pelicans vs Kings Best Bet to Make
The bookies are predicting this one as a 50-50 game. The last time these teams played against each other was earlier this month. The Pelicans dominated in Sacramento without Zion Williamson as well. We believe that they are a more experienced team, and that they will win tonight in front of their fans.
That being said, the Pelicans winning is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: New Orleans Pelicans winning @2.05 @bet365
