Nuggets vs Lakers Quick Bet to Make
Jamal Murray is our guy tonight. We are going with him getting at least 8 assists. In the first game, Murray had 10 assists. They were double-teaming him on almost every single possession. We believe that they will go with the same tactic tonight as well. That means that he will take fewer shots and pass the ball more to his teammates.
That being said, Jamal Murray getting at least 8 assists is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Jamal Murray over 7.5 assists @+106 @FanDuel
Cleveland Cavaliers vs Orlando Magic Best Bet
7PM EST
Cleveland, OH
Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse
For April 22, 2024, we will look at the clash between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Orlando Magic. The Cavs won the first game 97-83. Expect a high-intensity game. The Orlando Magic need this win to come back and tie the series.
Current Form
The Cleveland Cavaliers have won three of their last five games. They ended up being the 4th seed in the East. Donovan Mitchell came back from an injury, and is looking sharp again. He had a great first game against the Magic, getting 30 points. Even though they shot poorly in the first game, the Cavs still won. High-intensity defense was great by them, and they managed to stop Banchero pretty well.
The Orlando Magic have lost four of their last five games. At the beginning of this year, the Magic was playing well, and were one of the hottest teams in the league. However, things are looking different right now. They are all experienced playoff players, and we saw that in the first round. Players were hesitant to take shots and looked scared. It will be tough for them to come back in this matchup.

Cavaliers vs Magic Best Bet to Make
We believe that the Cavaliers should be even bigger favorites tonight. They are playing at home after being 1-0 up. In the first game, the Cavs were a way better team on the court. As we already mentioned, experience means everything in the playoffs. The Magic are one of the most inexperienced teams in the playoffs this season.
That being said, the Cavaliers to win by at least 6 points is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Cleveland Cavaliers -5.5 @1.91 @bet365
