Here are our bets for tonight's game ⏬
💰 BEST BET
BET: 🔥 Nuggets at the moneyline with DraftKings Sportsbook (+4000)
📈 56% probability
This series is set to go down to the wire with both teams no strangers to going as far as a Game 7. Our projections has the Nuggets pulling one back at home.
While the standard odds for this game has the Nuggets -110 at the moneyline, DraftKings Sportsbook is juicing this all the way up with a big offer on any NBA team at the moneyline during these playoffs. That's right, take the Nuggets at insane odds of +4000 for a maximum bet of $5 and see if turn into $200. That's how you build a bankroll!
Sign up with DraftKings Sportsbook today, then place a $5 bet on any team at the moneyline. If they win, you'll get $200 in free bets!
🧨 BEST PROP
PLAYER: Michael Porter Jr
BET: 🔥 OVER 24.5 points with PointsBet (-105)
We bombed out taking MPJ on Under 7.5 rebounds in Game 1, so we're focusing on his points production in Game 2. After pouring in 25 points in the series opener, we've got the Nuggets forward going for 26 tonight. He has a knack for starting fast and burning out, but with the series potentially slipping away with a defeat in Game 2, Porter Jr will need a complete performance.
💥 BETMGM'S ONE GAME PARLAY
We're combining some of our above plays with a total and a prop play to complete our One Game Parlay. While we're expecting a high scoring game with the likes of CJ and Dame Lillard, our model projections has Nikola Jokic scoring only 28 points. Jokic only had 1 assist in Game 1, so look for him to focus more on dishing dimes than scoring buckets.
🔥 Nuggets ML
🔥 Total points OVER 226.5
🔥 Porter Jr o24.5 points
🔥 Jokic u30.5 points
💰 +1082 with BetMGM
BetMGM is offering a great bonus for players looking to cash in on this One Game Parlay. It does't even matter if you win! Simply deposit $20 into your account, place your bet, and then wait for the money to come in, regardless of the result! It's free money.
