Top 3 NBA Betting Picks for Saturday, May 7 (2022)
The playoffs are starting to get more exciting. The Mavs & 76ers won last night, and Joel Embiid is back. Tonight, both series are 1-1, and anyone can win. Currently, anyone can make it to the conference championships. These are must-watch series tonight, and the best best part is that there is plenty of betting value in the matchups tonight. Let us look into the best value bets tonight.
- Memphis Grizzlies +7 | -110 at Draftkings Sportsbook
The Grizzlies have been underdogs all season, and that continues tonight. The Grizzlies are fighters, and we saw that throughout the series with the Timberwolves. They won by outfighting their opponents, and I think that is enough to keep this game close. The Warriors are a great team that can score plenty of points, but they can be streaky, making this a high-value bet.
- Boston Celtics Moneyline | +105 at Draftkings Sportsbook
This pick is purely a betting value. The Celtics have been the best team in the NBA since the All-Star break. They look like a whole new team, and that includes the playoffs. Right now, the Celtics feel like they are a championship contender. The Bucks are still missing Khris Middleton, and the longer this series goes, the more that will impact the Bucks. Marcus Smart has a good chance to play tonight too, and his defense elevates the Celtics.
- Andrew Wiggins Over 15.5 points | -130 at Draftkings Sportsbook
Wiggins has done this in both games of this series and is capable of continuing the streak tonight. Wiggins is a sneaky scorer who takes shots given to him, and he will have plenty of opportunities tonight. I love the Best NBA Player Prop Bets on Bettingpros.com, and it projects Wiggins at twenty points in this matchup. That projection and the consistency during this series make this a great bet going into tonight’s matchup.
