Top 3 NBA Betting Odds & Picks for Friday, April 29th (2022)

There is only one game tonight, and that has been the most exciting series of the NBA playoffs. Both are young teams that vastly improved this year. That has created one of the best series of 2022. Even with one NBA game tonight, there is plenty of betting value if you know where to look.

Minnesota Timberwolves Moneyline -105 at DraftKings Sportsbook

This series has been back and forth the entire time. I think tonight sticks to that trend. Minnesota is back at home, and besides two quarters, the Timberwolves have looked great at home. Home-court advantage will determine the winner in this matchup. Timberwolves want to win, and this do-or-die situation at home is perfect for them to take game six.  

Total Over 229 Points -110 at DraftKings Sportsbook

The total in Memphis vs. Minnesota has hit over three of the five games. Minnesota is 8-3 for going over 229 points this month. The Grizzlies are 9-2 for going over 229 points this month. That is a trend that we like to see for our betting value. Together these teams are 17-5 against the total points. That is a 77% win rate. The numbers speak for themselves in this pick. 

Desmond Bane Over 21.5 points -110 at DraftKings Sportsbook

Desmond Bane might be the most improved player in the NBA this year. He has scored over 25 points in the last three games and averaged 23.6 points per game in the series against the Timberwolves. The Grizzlies have found something that is working for them. When Morant is locked down, deliver the ball to Desmond Bane.
