Cavaliers vs Magic Quick Bet to Make
Paolo Banchero is our guy tonight. We are going with him getting at least 30 points + rebounds. The Orlando Magic is an inexperienced team and Banchero is their best player. Their whole offense will go through him. He went over this line in the first game, even though the Magic scored only 83 points.
That being said, Banchero getting at least 30 points + rebounds is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Paolo Banchero over 29.5 points + rebounds @-122 @FanDuel
New York Knicks vs Philadelphia 76ers Best Bet
7:30PM EST
New York, NY
Madison Square Garden
For April 22, 2024, we will look at the clash between the New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers from New York. The Knicks won the first game 111-104. Expect a high-intensity game. The 76ers need this win to come back and tie the series.
Current Form
The New York Knicks have won 6 straight games. They ended up being the 2nd seed in the East. In their first game against the 76ers, the Knicks played two great quarters. Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby did not do much offensively. However, their bench stepped up. McBride and Bogdanovic stepped up and led the Knicks to the victory. Josh Hart also hit some important shots late in the fourth quarter and had a great game overall.
The Philadelphia 76ers won 9 straight games before losing against the Knicks. They ended up being the 7th seed. Joel Embiid was injured for a long time, otherwise, the 76ers would have been the top 3 seed for sure. In the first game against the Knicks, it was all about Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. They were pretty much the only 2 guys scoring for them. The bench players did not do much, and you need some points from them if you want to win against the Knicks.

Knicks vs 76ers Best Bet to Make
Joel Embiid is questionable for tonight. He looked injured in the first game, and we think that he should not have played. However, he is their main player, so they will try everything to get him ready for tonight. We believe that the Knicks at home are one of the best teams in the league right now. They won the first game against the 76ers, even though their 2 best players did not have a good game. We believe that Jalen Brunson will step up tonight and lead them to another victory.
That being said, the Knicks to win by at least 6 points is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: New York Knicks -5 @1.91 @bet365
