It’s been a wild series so far in the NBA Playoffs, and four teams have advanced to the Conference Semifinals, and another 8 teams wait in the wings, ready to duke it out for the remaining spots.
Last week, our handicappers had one of the best win-rate weeks ever, with 91.3% overall. Check out where they were betting, and what games they are betting on this week.
The Best NBA Handicappers Last Week
Last week, the top five NBA handicappers went 21-2 for an impressive 91.3% win rate. Collectively, the top five brought in $1,880, which is only $200 less than the previous week.

Tonny Ricci tops the leaderboard this week, and it’s about time. He’s been among the top five a few times, and this week he manages to beat out the crew of 100% win rate folks by making more profit with his wagers.
We also have some newcomers to the leaderboard, including Oskeim Sports.

Ricci made some smart totals picks, betting over on high-scoring matchups like the Magic and Celtics, and unders on teams with tough defense. All wagers were at -110, but that’s normal given the ranges he’s betting within.
I’d watch Ricci’s totals picks as the post-season progresses. He’s shown considerable skill when it comes to predicting team totals.
Where We’re Betting This Week

Tonight, our handicappers are betting on the Timberwolves and the Lakers, with three wagers in so far for the Timberwolves spread:
