Eric Moody breaks down his top betting picks for Thursday's two playoff games.
Former manager at a Fortune 100 financial services company, now living my dream creating fantasy and sports betting content about the NFL, NBA, and WNBA for ESPN.Both No. 1 seeds convincingly won their series openers on Tuesday night.
The Celtics are heavy favorites in Game 2, and this game has one of the lower totals on the slate. Consequently, this leads me to Tatum's assists and rebounds prop. He's cleared this line in four of his last five games. Additionally, Tatum has averaged 8.4 potential assists and 14.4 rebound chances in 36.8 minutes over that time frame. Expect Tatum and the Celtics to take care of business on their home floor on Thursday night.
It's clear that the Cavaliers are outmatched against the Celtics. Boston is favored by 13.5 points against Cleveland. The Celtics have gone 10-5 against the spread this season when favored by at least 13.5. Although Mitchell scored 33 points in Game 1, and considering how well the Celtics defended everyone else, I believe they'll make adjustments to contain him in Game 2.
The Thunder really hammered the Mavericks in Game 1, especially in the second half. Dallas' big men were supposed to have an advantage in this series against the Thunder. I believe they'll have a better showing in Game 2. Gafford has cleared this line in two consecutive games.Now, this number might seem high at first glance, but let me explain. If the Mavericks aim to keep this series competitive, Doncic must get everyone involved.
