Timberwolves to Start Semifinals with a Home Win

On Tuesday night, Timberwolves and Warriors clash in a tasty semifinal at Target Center in Minneapolis. This is the first meeting in the series, and both teams will want to get off to a flying start.  

With the opening two fixtures taking place at Target Center, the hosts would love two wins before game three in San Francisco. Timberwolves are the favourites at 1.37, with the away win available 3.00.

This is tricky to call, but home advantage could give Minnesota the edge. We like the look of 2.02 for Timberwolves to win -7.5.

Celtics to Bounce Back Against Knicks

Boston welcome New York to TD Garden in playoff Conference semifinal action this week. Knicks hold the advantage in the series after a hard-fought home win in game one.

New York edged past Celtics on Monday night, sealing a 108-105 victory at TD Garden. If they can win in Massachusetts again, the third game at Madison Square Garden will be very interesting.

New York will fancy their chances at TD Garden, but Boston are the big favourites on home ground. Our money is going on the hosts to win -12.5 at 2.18.

Nuggets to Secure Second Victory in Oklahoma

This week in the NBA playoffs, Oklahoma City Thunder and Denver Nuggets lock horns at Paycom Center. After sealing an away win in game one, Denver have a 1-0 lead in the series.

Nuggets sprung a surprise in Oklahoma City on Monday night, leaving with a 121-119 win. The superb Nikola Jokic was Denver’s hero, scoring an impressive 42 points, 22 rebounds, and six assists.

Oklahoma will be out to stop the MVP candidate, but we fancy Denver to secure another away win. The visitors are nicely priced at 5.00.
