Philadelphia has a chance to sweep Toronto in four games and advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals with a win over the Raptors.
Boston holds a 2-0 advantage over Brooklyn while Dallas and Memphis both lead their series by a 2-1 advantage. That means it’s a crucial Game 4 for both Utah and Minnesota.
NBA playoff bettors have lots of potential in Saturday’s games. Here are the top NBA playoff picks for Saturday, April 23rd 2022.
Philadelphia 76ers vs. Toronto Raptors
Best Bet: UNDER 213.5
It’s a potential elimination game for the Raptors who have yet to win a game in this series. Toronto had beaten Philadelphia three times during the regular season, but they have been outplayed thus far in the series.
Game 3 went to overtime, but the total still went Under. In seven games between these two teams this season, only once has the winner scored more than 115 points.
The defense will tighten up and the Raptors pace will slow down even more. The Raptors are 25th in the NBA in pace. The Sixers are 27th.
Dallas Mavericks vs. Utah Jazz
Best Bet: MAVERICKS +5
Utah is in a tight situation here. They don’t want to go down 3-1 with the series going back to Dallas for Game 5. The problem is that they just aren’t playing that well.
The Mavs won Game 3 as Utah gave up 126 points to the winners. Dallas has now covered two straight in the series as an underdog. They will take on that role again tonight.
Luka Doncic is once again listed as questionable and once again he is likely not 100 percent. That’s okay because Jalen Brunson is having himself a series.
The Mavs are now 9-2 SU in their last 11 games. Dallas is 8-2-1 ATS in those 11. Utah is 3-10- 1 ATS in its last 14 games and they are just 3-7 ATS in their last ten games against Dallas.
Boston Celtics vs. Brooklyn Nets
Best Bet: CELTICS +3.5
Boston has just been too much for the Nets thus far in this series. Seven of the eight Celtics that played in Game 2 scored in double figures.
The defense held Kyrie Irving to just 10 points. With the win, Boston is now 6-1 SU in its last seven games and 5-1 ATS.
With the series moving to Brooklyn, the public is all over the Nets at -3.5. Boston is still the better team. They are better defensively which gives them a chance to cover.
The Nets are awful against the number this season (33-49-3) and they are just 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games.
Memphis Grizzlies vs. Minnesota Timberwolves
Grizzlies vs. Timberwolves Picks
Best Bet: UNDER 232.5
Down 2-1 in the series, Minnesota faces a must-win situation. If they go back to Memphis down 3-1, they are unlikely to have a shot at upsetting the Grizzlies.
Minnesota blew a big lead in Game 3 allowing Memphis to go on a 50-12 run and come back from a 26-point deficit to win and take the lead in the series.
These are the two highest-scoring teams in the NBA, but this is a game where Minnesota can’t squander possessions. That means their league-leading pace will slow. Thursday’s game went well Under the 237.5 total. That makes two straight Unders in the series.
The Under has hit in four of Memphis’ last five games. The Under is also 4-1 in the last five games these two teams have played against each other.
