Pelicans vs Thunder Quick Bet to Make
CJ McCollum is our guy for tonight. We are going with him getting at least 20 points tonight. With Zion Williamson being out of the series, and Brandon Ingram struggling offensively, CJ McCollum should be the first attacking option tonight. He did not cover this line in the last two games because they were blow-out games, and he did not play many minutes. In the only game that was tight, McCollum scored 20 points in a low-scoring game.
That being said, CJ McCollum getting 20 points is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: CJ McCollum over 19.5 points @-118 @FanDuel
Denver Nuggets vs Los Angeles Lakers Best Bet
10PM EST
Denver, CO
Ball Arena
For April 29, 2024, we will look at the clash between the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers in Denver. The Nuggets lead the series 3-1. Expect a high-intensity game. The LA Lakers need this win to keep their hopes alive.
Current Form
The Denver Nuggets have won four of their last five games. In the last game, the Nuggets could not get the job done in Los Angeles. However, in front of their own crowd, Nikola Jokić and his teammates have won both games this series. In the last game, Nikola Jokić had yet again an amazing triple-double, scoring 33 points with 14 rebounds and 14 assists. They just could not make enough field goals, and that is the main reason why they lost that game.
The LA Lakers have lost three of their last five games. In Denver, the Lakers just could not find the answer for Nikola Jokić. They were up by 20 points in the second game, but just could not close out the game. If they won that game, this series would be a 50-50 one. However, they are 1-3 down at the moment, and now need to win against the Nuggets in Denver.

Nuggets vs Lakers Best Bet to Make
The Nuggets are one of the best, if not the best, teams in the league right now. In this series, the Nuggets were overall the better team, and we expect them to close out this series at home tonight.
That being said, the Nuggets winning by at least 8 points is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Denver Nuggets -7 @1.91 @bet365
