Lakers vs Nuggets Quick Bet to Make
Jamal Murray is our guy for tonight. We are going with him getting at least 24 points. In the last game, Murray shot terribly and still got 20 points. However, he redeemed himself by hitting the game winner. We believe that he will shoot better tonight and with his shooting volume, Murray should cover this line easily. In the last two meetings against the Lakers in LA, Murray has gone over this line both times.
That being said, Murray getting at least 24 points is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Jamal Murray over 23.5 points @-128 @FanDuel
Orlando Magic vs Cleveland Cavaliers Best Bet
7PM EST
Orlando, FL
Kia Center
For April 25, 2024, we will look at the clash between the Orlando Magic and Cleveland Cavaliers. The Cavs lead the series 2-0. 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 Orlando Magic have lost four of their last five games. As we predicted, their offense was just not enough for the Cavaliers. They scored only 83 points in the first game, and 86 points in the second game. Paolo Banchero does all the work for them. He needs his teammates to step up, otherwise this series will over soon.
The Cavaliers have won four of their last five games. Donovan Mitchell and his teammates won both games against the Magic easily, as we predicted. After they lost last year against the Knicks in the playoffs, the Cavs gained much needed playoff experience for this year. They look great, and we believe that they should close out this series easily.

Magic vs Cavaliers Best Bet to Make
Looking at the first two games, the Magic got offensively exposed. They are still too young and inexperienced to make the right adjustments at the right time. Donovan Mitchell is the best player on the court, and he has made the difference so far in this series. We believe that the Cavaliers will get another win tonight, and pretty much secure a spot in the next round.
That being said, the Cavaliers winning tonight is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Cleveland Cavaliers winning @2.15 @bet365
