Timberwolves vs Mavericks Quick Bet to Make
Anthony Edwards is our guy for tonight. We are going with him getting at least 27 points. He shot poorly in the first game, scoring only 19 points, which was the main reason why the Timberwolves lost the first game. We believe that he will step up in the second game and show us that he is one of the best players of his generation.
That being said, Edwards getting at least 27 points is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Anthony Edwards over 26.5 points @-128 @FanDuel
Boston Celtics vs Indiana Pacers Best Bet
8PM EST
Boston, MA
TD Garden
For May 23, 2024, we will look at the clash between the Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers from Boston. The Celtics won the series against the Cavaliers 4-1. On the other hand, the Pacers won game 7 against the Knicks. The Celtics won the first game after overtime and now lead the series 1-0. Expect a high-intensity game.
Current Form
The Celtics won the first round series against the undermanned Heat 4-1. After that, the Celtics won against the undermanned Cavaliers with the exact outcome of 4-1. We still did not see a fully healthy team against them. In the first game, the Celtics were struggling from the deep, scoring only 33% from the 3pt line. Jaylen Brown was the hero, scoring the three to tie the game with just a couple of seconds left.
The Pacers won the first round series against the undermanned Bucks 4-2. After that, the Pacers managed to win game 7 in Madison Square Garden. In the first game, the Pacers were up by five points with just two minutes left, but made some bad mistakes, which is normal being such a young and inexperienced team.

Celtics vs Pacers Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, the Celtics are big favorites in this matchup. We saw in the first game how the Pacers can match their energy. Even with Jrue Holiday, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown having a great game, the Pacers still kept it close. We believe that they will be competitive and keep this game close.
That being said, the Pacers covering the spread is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Indiana Pacers -9 @1.91 @bet365
