What a crazy set of fixtures it was on the first day of playoffs as we head into day two.
The best bets are in for the Tuesday games when Miami face Milwaukee, and Denver battle Portland.
Miami @ Milwaukee
May 25th 9:30am
The Milwaukee Bucks take a 1-0 lead heading into its second game in a playoff tie against Miami.
The Bucks won a tit for tat battle against the Heat in Game 1 with a 109-107 win after Khris Middleton proved the hero with a clutch overtime bucket.
Middleton scored 27 points and threw six assists as he hauled his side over the line with half a second to go in overtime.
It was an intriguing game when looking at statistics with the Heat lacking in the field goal department but managing to hit 40% of its three-pointers.
If Jimmy Butler and his side can just tidy up the field goal side of things, they might be able to square-up the ledger.
Butler insisted he would be the man to step up post-season, so expect a response from him.
Suggested Bet: Miami Heat +4.5 at $1.95
Suggested Same Game Multi:
Leg 1: Miami Heat +4.5
Leg 2: J. Butler over 22.5 points
Leg 3: J. Butler over 4.5 assists
Leg 4: G. Antetokounmpo over 12.5 rebounds
Combined odds = $4.20
Portland @ Denver
May 25th 12:00pm
The Denver Nuggets begin their quest to try to win back home-court advantage in Game 2 of their Western Conference playoff opener with the Portland Trail Blazers.
There’s a reason why the Trail Blazers have been called a dark horse team in the postseason.
Star guard Damian Lillard stayed stride-for-stride with all-world center Nikola Jokic to power the Trail Blazers to a win on Saturday.
Another road win would put Portland one step closer to completing a massive upset.
The ball movement and 3-point shooting has made all of the difference for the Trail Blazers.
Nikola Jokic might win the league’s MVP award this season, but it doesn’t mean he’ll be able to save the Nuggets from a first-round upset against the Trail Blazers.
Game two is as big as it gets for a Nuggets team that looked like a fish out of water on Saturday.
Suggested Bet: Portland Trail Blazers +1.5 at $1.91
Suggested Same Game Multi:
Leg 1: Portland Trail Blazers +1.5
Leg 2: Total points scored under 227.5
Leg 3: D. Lillard over 26.5 points
Combined odds = $5
