Celtics @ Nets

BET: 🔥 Nets at the moneyline with DraftKings Sportsbook (+4000)

After Brooklyn's dominance in Game 1, it's hard to see how the Celtics pull a game back at any stage during this first round. While the Nets' are almost unplayable at the moneyline with every sportsbook, that's not the case with DraftKings Sportsbook who are giving bettors a super boost on ANY NBA moneyline bet throughout the playoffs.

Lakers @ Suns

BET: 🔥 Lakers at the moneyline with PointsBet (-120)

📈 56.9% probability

The Lakers look discombobulated after going down in the series opener to the Suns, but with Chris Paul now hurt and Phoenix still full of young, inexperienced players, our data projections is anticipating a Lake Show win on the road to get this series back to 1-1. Anthony Davis will need to come out of the blocks in this one after a disappointing Game 1.

Mavericks @ Clippers

BET: 🔥 Total points OVER 216 with BetMGM (-138)

📈 52% probability

The line has been lowered since Game 1 to 216 which was the total from that opening game, and our data is latching onto the Over play with the known firepower of Dallas and their fast rate of play that resulted in the five previous Mavs' games all going Over by a large margin each time.
