Magic vs Cavaliers Quick Bet to Make
Max Strus is our guy for tonight. We are going with him getting at least 9 points tonight. His minutes have increased. His line dropped, because he did not cover this line in the first two games of the series. However, there were also not so many points scored in each game. We believe that they will score more points this time, and that Strus will go over this line easily.
That being said, Strus getting at least 9 points is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Max Strus over 8.5 points @-104 @FanDuel
Philadelphia 76ers vs New York Knicks Best Bet
7:30PM EST
Philadelphia, PA
Wells Fargo Center
For April 25, 2024, we will look at the clash between the Philadelphia 76ers and New York Knicks in Philadelphia. The Knicks lead the series 2-0 as we predicted. Expect a high-intensity game. The 76ers need this win to come back if they want to keep their hopes alive.
Current Form
The 76ers lost both very tight games against the Knicks. Joel Embiid played in both of them, but he looks really hurt. His eyes were twitching because of his knee injury. Maxey and Embiid were pretty much the only two guys doing something offensively against the Knicks. They need their other role players to step up if they want to win the third game of the series.
The Knicks are showing their depth right now. Jalen Brunson had two terrible shooting games so far in the series. However, Josh Hart and DiVincenzo stepped up and led them to the victory. The Knicks are sticking to their 8-man rotation, and it has been working perfectly so far. Once Brunson starts playing at his best level, the Knicks will become a problem for everyone.

76ers vs Knicks Best Bet to Make
We believe once again that Joel Embiid will play tonight through pain. The 76ers have the best player on the court. However, the Knicks have more depth, which is really important to play in the playoffs. We also trust in Brunson shooting better tonight. According to the bookies, the Knicks are underdogs tonight. We can not agree with that.
That being said, the Knicks covering the spread is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: New York Knicks +4.5 @1.91 @bet365
