Magic vs Cavaliers Quick Bet to Make
Paolo Banchero is our guy for this game. We are going with him getting at least 24 points. As we already mentioned, Banchero is the first scoring option for the Magic. This is a must-win game for them, and we believe that he will take over, and lead them to victory. In the last game against the Cavs, Banchero scored 39 points.
That being said, Banchero getting at least 24 points is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Paolo Banchero over 23.5 points @-122 @FanDuel
Dallas Mavericks vs Los Angeles Clippers Best Bet
9:30PM
Dallas, TX
American Airlines Center
For May,3,2024, we will look at the clash between the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Clippers from Dallas. The Mavericks lead the series 3-2. Expect a high-intensity game. The Los Angeles Clippers need this win to come back and tie the series.
Current Form
The Mavericks won their last game against the Clippers as we predicted. It was their best game in this series by far. They blew out the Clippers by 30 points. Luka Dončić and his teammates were dominating from the very start. Doncic also looked healthier this time, and we believe that he is not struggling with his injury as we thought.
The Clippers were terrible in their last game against the Mavericks. Kawhi Leonard is still out, and without him, the Clippers are not playing well. James Harden had a bad game. He finished the game with seven points on 2 of 12 shooting. With him playing poorly, and without Kawhi, the Clippers could not do much against the Mavericks. They shot poorly from the deep, scoring just 26 percent from the deep.

Mavericks vs Clippers Best Bet to Make
Looking at the last two games the Mavericks played at home against the Clippers, they have won one and lost one. In the last game in Dallas, the Mavericks almost completed one of the biggest comebacks in Playoff history. They were close to winning that game, even though they were trailing by 31 points. In the first home game, the Mavericks won by 11 points. We believe that they will perform well and close out this series at home.
That being said, the Mavericks winning by at least 8 points is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Dallas Mavericks -7.5 @1.91 @bet365
