Mavericks vs Clippers Quick Bet to Make
Luka Dončić is our guy yet again. We are going with him getting at least 53 points + rebounds + assists. In the last game, Luka got exactly 52 PRA and our prediction was right. This time, Luka will have a chance to win this series at home. We believe that he will be the best player on the court once again, and cover this line easily.
That being said, Doncic getting at least 53 PRA is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Luka Dončić over 52.5 PRA @-111 @FanDuel
Orlando Magic vs Cleveland Cavaliers Best Bet
7PM EST
Orlando, FL
Kia Center
For May 3,2024, we will look at the clash between the Orlando Magic and Cleveland Cavaliers. The Cavs lead the series 3-2. Expect a high-intensity game. The Orlando Magic need this win to come back and still have a shot at winning the series.
Current Form
The Magic lost the last game against the Cavaliers 104-103 as we predicted. Paolo Banchero was once again their best player on the court. Unfortunately for them, Banchero did not get the much-needed help from his teammates. This was the first tight game of this series. Before that, every game was pretty much a blowout. The Magic fumbled under the pressure, which is normal, being such an inexperienced and young team as they are.
The Cavaliers have won three of their last five games. Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland carried them to the victory. Right now, the Cavs have two chances at winning this series. The Cavaliers did not shoot well, but their defense was great, so that is the main reason why they won. In the last two games in Orlando, the Cavaliers were absolutely destroyed in both of them.

Magic vs Cavaliers Best Bet to Make
The Magic showed how good they are playing at home. According to the bookies, they are just the slight favorites in this matchup. We believe that they should be bigger favorites, considering how they dominated in both home games against the Cavaliers in this series. The Cavs might be without Jarrett Allen, who is one of their best defensive players.
That being said, Magic winning is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Orlando Magic winning @1.59 @bet365
