Atlanta Hawks vs New York Knicks
Atlanta Hawks +5.5 ($1.90)
Atlanta come into this playoff clash in strong form and look well equipped to keep this tight. Since the All-Star break they’ve been one of the league’s best teams on both ends, combining efficient offense with improved defense. Their three-point shooting presents a real challenge for a Knicks side that has struggled to defend the perimeter, making the line look a touch generous.
Selection:
Atlanta Hawks +5.5 ($1.90)
Over 216.5 Total Points ($1.90)
Both sides bring multiple scoring threats and strong perimeter shooting, which can quickly push the tempo higher than expected. If this turns into a late scoring battle, the total looks well within reach, especially with key players capable of big offensive nights.
Selection:
Over 216.5 Points ($1.90)
Nickeil Alexander-Walker Over 20.5 Points ($1.90)
Alexander-Walker has been in outstanding form, consistently producing strong scoring numbers and thriving in this matchup. He’s had success against the Knicks previously and continues to take on a leading offensive role, making this line very achievable.
Selection:
Nickeil Alexander-Walker o20.5 Points ($1.90)
Karl-Anthony Towns Over 20.5 Points ($1.90)
Towns presents a major matchup problem with his ability to score inside and stretch the floor. In a playoff setting, expect him to take on a heavier offensive load, and his versatility should allow him to find scoring opportunities throughout the game.
Selection:
Karl-Anthony Towns o20.5 Points ($1.90)
Dyson Daniels Under 11.5 Points ($1.90)
Daniels may find it tougher to produce offensively in a playoff environment where defensive intensity rises. With other scoring options taking priority and increased pressure from the Knicks’ defense, this line looks slightly high.

Toronto Raptors vs Cleveland Cavaliers
Cleveland Cavaliers Moneyline ($1.90)
Cleveland look well placed to take control of Game 1 on their home floor. The Cavaliers have been a strong defensive unit, particularly in playoff-style matchups where they can slow the game down and execute in the half court. Toronto have struggled historically in Game 1 situations, and with Cleveland’s inside-out scoring and home-court edge, they should be able to set the tone early in the series.
Selection:
Cleveland Cavaliers Moneyline ($1.90)
Dean Wade Over 3.5 Rebounds ($1.90)
Dean Wade is expected to see an uptick in minutes, and that should translate directly into more opportunities on the glass. When his court time increases, his rebounding numbers rise accordingly, and his size and positioning make him effective against Toronto’s frontcourt. With a likely increase in role, this line looks well within reach.
Selection:
Dean Wade o3.5 Rebounds ($1.90)
Scottie Barnes Over 6.5 Assists ($1.90)
Scottie Barnes is set to take on more playmaking responsibility, particularly if Toronto are limited in the backcourt. He’s shown the ability to step up as a primary facilitator, consistently producing strong assist numbers when given the role. With the ball in his hands more often, he should have plenty of opportunities to create for teammates.

Minnesota Timberwolves vs Denver Nuggets
Nikola Jokic Over 51.5 PRA ($1.90)
Nikola Jokic thrives in this matchup and consistently fills the stat sheet against Minnesota. His ability to impact the game in scoring, rebounding and playmaking makes him extremely difficult to contain, even against elite defenders. In a playoff setting where stars take control, expect Jokic to dominate possession and produce another huge all-around performance.
Selection:
Nikola Jokic o51.5 PRA ($1.90)
Minnesota Timberwolves +6.5 ($1.90)
Despite Denver’s strength at home, Minnesota have shown they can match up well in this rivalry. Their recent form and ability to stay competitive, even in tough spots, suggests this game could be closer than the line indicates. Expect a tight contest where the Timberwolves can stay within the number.
Selection:
Minnesota Timberwolves +6.5 ($1.90)
Nikola Jokic Triple Double – Yes ($1.90)
Jokic is one of the most reliable triple-double threats in the league and regularly hits this mark, especially in high-intensity games. Given his role as the focal point of Denver’s offense, he’ll have every opportunity to accumulate numbers across all categories.
Selection:
Nikola Jokic Triple Double – Yes ($1.90)
Anthony Edwards Over 26.5 Points ($1.90)
Edwards is the go-to scorer for Minnesota and has consistently delivered strong scoring performances. His aggressive style and ability to create his own shot make him a constant threat, and he should be heavily involved throughout.
Selection:
Anthony Edwards o26.5 Points ($1.90)
Anthony Edwards Over 1.5 Steals ($1.90)
Edwards’ defensive activity adds another layer to his game, and he regularly creates turnovers with his athleticism and anticipation. In a fast-paced, high-pressure matchup, he should have opportunities to disrupt Denver’s offense.

Los Angeles Lakers vs Houston Rockets
Tari Eason Over 7.5 Points ($1.90)
Tari Eason is in a favourable scoring spot here, particularly with the way the Lakers defend the perimeter. With opportunities expected from beyond the arc and additional possessions created through offensive rebounds, Eason should have enough volume to clear this line. His energy and role in the rotation make him a strong chance to contribute on the scoreboard.
Selection:
Tari Eason o7.5 Points ($1.90)
Jake LaRavia Over 7.5 Points ($1.90)
Jake LaRavia finds himself in a game environment that should produce scoring chances, especially playing with a Lakers side that has been involved in higher-scoring contests. With increased offensive opportunities and a projection comfortably above this line, he looks well placed to reach double figures.
Selection:
Jake LaRavia o7.5 Points ($1.90)
Rui Hachimura Over 3.5 Rebounds ($1.90)
Rui Hachimura should see enough minutes and positioning to impact the glass in this matchup. With the Lakers’ style of play creating rebounding chances on both ends, his size and role make this a very achievable number. Expect him to be active around the boards.
