NBA bets: Three bets that stand out for the playoff games on Saturday

After the New York Knicks won two victories on the street in Boston, they drive home to Madison Square Garden for game 3 against the Boston Celtics. Despite the 0: 2 hole, the Celtics are still small favorites in the Eastern Conference. You take the court to ABC at 3:30 p.m.

Then someone will appear with a 2-1 lead, while the Minnesota Timberwolves drive to San Francisco to take over the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors won game 1 before the Timberwolves in game 2 themselves went back to the series.

Here are some of the bets that are characterized by today’s games.

New York Knicks against Boston Celtics over 206.5 points (-115). The total amount for the first game in this series opened a dozen points higher than today’s total. This reads like an over -correction to a series in which Boston endured the historical shooting volatility on open looks. If there is no lid on the edge in the Madison Square Garden, Boston gets a statistical correction in the sense of manufacturing the player closer to their actual prices. The Knicks can also enable some better results for open looks, which indicates that this game still has half a place and comprises more offensive than this total number of pricing. A sum of this low between two teams that ended the top 5 in the offensive efficiency in the season is worth pursuing.

Derrick White over 3.5 3 pointers (-125). It is possible that the Celtics pay back the 3-point volume a little to attack the color against a kink front square that is often missing rim protection if Mitchell is not on the floor. It is also possible that white advantages benefit from such a shift, since it would be on the reception page of Catch-and-Shoot dishes from the duo of the Celtics duo of all-star wings. The other perspective is his size advantage over Jalen Brunson and his ability to work these two wings with greater difficulty in space. There are simply too many indicators that predict a revival of Boston’s offenses to deny it.

Julius Randle over 24.5 total points and templates (-120). It was impressive to observe how Randle adapted to the Timberwolves system, since this stroke with lower quantities that can still overwhelm the opponents. Randle leads the team with potential templates in the playoffs with robust 11 per game. The ball does not last as much as with the kinks, but it still hits the ball with randle on the block or with the facial ups. A more decisive randle is an essential component why Minnesota is now a real title candidate. This story will continue to grow this evening. There is also value in Randle’s back-back quality, which is now only set to only 6.5 (-120). The structure of some games with Randle could be an entertaining angle for today’s matchup.
