Best NBA Bets Today (Tuesday, April 21)
LeBron James below 9.5 assists (-150) vs. Houston Rockets
BetMGM, 4:05 PM ET
Alex Barutha: LeBron had 13 assists in Game 1. The catch is that the Lakers shot 61 FG% and 53 3P%. I do not anticipate that to occur once more — partially because of role-player regression, and partially because of a revised defensive gameplan from the Rockets. Ultimately, it is arduous for me to check the Lakers persistently successful video games on this sequence with out LeBron turning into extra of a scorer than passer.
LeBron James below 34.5 factors + assists (-135) vs. Houston Rockets
BetMGM, 4:24 PM ET
Nick Whalen: James led the Lakers to an upset Game 1 win behind 19 factors and 13 assists — eight of which got here within the first quarter with the Lakers beginning red-hot from the sector. While the Lakers may have extra scoring out of James tonight, it is seemingly that the assists regress, as they seemingly will not shoot 60-plus-percent from the sector once more. In my thoughts, James will in all probability have to attain 25-plus factors to hit this over, which I’m unsure I’d again in what tasks to be one other slow-paced, lower-scoring sport.
VJ Edgecombe over 1.5 threes (-150) at Boston Celtics
BetMGM, 4:08 PM ET
Alex Barutha: Edgecombe went 0-for-5 from distance in Game 1, with 4 of these being categorized as open or huge open by the NBA’s monitoring information. As a group, the 76ers have to make some extent of taking pictures extra threes, as they went 4-for-23 in comparison with Boston’s 16-for-44. In 4 regular-season matchups in opposition to the Celtics, Edgecombe make 3.5 triples per sport on 8.5 makes an attempt.
Donovan Clingan below 20.5 factors + rebounds + assists (-123) at San Antonio Spurs
DraftKings, 4:12 PM ET
Alex Barutha: Clingan didn’t face Victor Wembanyama in the course of the common season, as Wemby was out for all of the prior matchups. It confirmed in Game 1. Clingan completed with 4 factors on 2-of-7 taking pictures, seven rebounds and one help in 22 minutes. He was additionally a minus-7. Meanwhile, his backup, Rob Williams, performed 17 minutes and produced 11 factors, six rebounds and 4 assists as a plus-3. It’s potential the Blazers want Williams’ athleticism on this matchup greater than Clingan’s measurement.
