Submitted by Sack on Thu, 04/06/2017 - 16:51

The NBA playoffs are days away and most teams are resting key players which gives you some opportunities to lay some money down. Here are three NBA games you can bet on tonight.

What: Boston Celtics vs Atlanta Hawks
When: April 06, 2017, 8:00 PM ET
Where: Philips Arena
Spread: Celtics -2
Over/Under: 209.5

Analysis: The Celtics had a clunker of a night on Wednesday after breaking down against the Cleveland Cavaliers. However, they can make up for the loss tonight against Atlanta. The Hawks are desperately fighting to keep their hopes of making the playoffs alive, so this game is a must win for them. Atlanta has been having all sorts of problems in winning games, mainly because of costly turnovers that turned into points. Though these two teams have split the previous two games, Boston is playing better. Isaiah Thomas averaged around 23 points on both previous matches and he’ll likely have a good night.

Game Prediction: Bet on the Celtics. to win and cover.

What: Chicago Bulls vs Philadelphia 76ers
When: April 06, 2017, 7:00 PM ET
Where: Wells Fargo Center
Spread: Bulls -5.5
Over/Under: 211.5

Analysis: The Bulls’ four-game winning streak came to an end on Tuesday night when they lost to the New York Knicks. However, they now face Philadelphia whom they’ve gone 6-0 SU over their last six matches which includes a 105-89 pummeling last November. Jimmy Butler should have his way tonight as he averages 30 points, 7.0 assists and 6.3 rebounds. Meanwhile, the Sixers have dropped four in a row and don’t expect them to improve any time soon. Over the last three games they’ve given up over 100 points in each of those games which is low considering how bad their defense is. This includes no less an 141-118 loss to the Nets, the league’s worst team. Though the Sixers offense is decent, if they can’t (and they won’t) improve defense, you’re looking at another blowout.

Game Prediction: Bulls win and cover.

What: Washington Wizards vs New York Knicks
When: April 06, 2017, 7:30 PM ET
Where: Madison Square Garden
Spread: Wizards -5.5
Over/Under: 217

Analysis: There’s nothing positive going for the Knicks this season by the looks of their record. Even while they started 16-13, now they’ve lost 35 of their last 49 games. Also, the Wizards have beaten New York all three games they’ve played, scoring an average 116 points per game on 53 percent shooting. John Wall registered and average 22 points in those games and he’s likely to score as many tonight. Though the Wizards are 2-6 SU over their last eight road games, they’ve won six straight at Madison Square Garden.

Game Prediction: Bet on the Wizards to win.
