What a cracking set of semi-final fixtures ahead of Friday NBA action as the 76ers and Heat fight it out, while the Suns and Mavericks duel in the West.
The best bets for both contests have been put up for the alley-oop and are ready to be slam dunked by the punters at BetDeluxe.
Miami @ philadelphia
may 13th 9:00am
Philadelphia will attempt to send this series against Miami into game seven when it meets the Heat at Wells Fargo Center on Friday.
Miami handed the 76ers a lesson in game five as they went down 120-85 in a loss that saw Joel Embiid and James Harden well held.
Despite having the home-court advantage, Philly will have to spike what it did on Wednesday significantly.
Miami is at its best when it spreads the love, and we saw it in spades in the 35-point triumph.
Seven players hit double-figure points in the win, and whatever way this 76ers defence looks, there are various threats on the offensive end for Miami that will be hard to stop.
Too much faith and respect paid to the edge Philadelphia may hold being at home.
Miami is humming, and Jimmy Butler is healthy.
Heat to cover the spread.
Suggested Bet: Miami +2.5 at $1.88
Suggested Same Game Multi:
Leg 1: Miami +2.5
Leg 2: J. Embiid over 27.5 points
Leg 3: J. Butler over 23.5 points
Combined odds = $6.75
phoenix @ dallas
may 13th 11:30am
Phoenix is one step away from progressing to the Western Conference Finals series to knock off Dallas come Friday morning at the American Airlines Centre.
On Wednesday, the Suns hit the road after a 110-80 demolition of Dallas at Footprint Center, which restricted the Mavericks to 38% from the field.
It was one of the more impressive defensive displays we have seen in the playoffs this season.
Phoenix only allowed Dallas to score 34 points in the second half of game four and looked slick when on the offensive.
The market tells us everything here, with Phoenix posted as the -1.5 favourite.
She is backing the visitors to finish this series off.
Suggested Bet: Phoenix Suns -1.5
Suggested Same Game Multi:
Leg 1: Phoenix -1.5
Leg 2: L. Doncic over 34.5 points
Leg 3: D. Booker over 25.5 points
Combined odds = $7
