Free NBA Eastern Conference Playoff Picks, Best Bets, and Parlays for 5/27/22

Last night we saw another game where Golden State is beginning to show that they are the team to beat for the NBA championship. Despite a subpar shooting night from Stephen Curry, other players stepped up and they dominated a very good Mavericks’ team on their way to the NBA Finals. Tonight, we could very well find out who their opponent will be. Miami heads to Boston after two straight dreadful shooting performances that have them down 3-2 in this series. The Celtics are letting them shoot the outside shot and the Heat can’t make them and that is the story. Can they snap out it tonight?

We picked Golden State to win last night but picked Dallas to beat the spread as the Best Bet. Our Best Bet of the Day record now stands at 101-56 in 2022.

We went 1-0 betting the MoneyLine and our overall record stands at 486-239 since Jan.1st.

Let’s look at what Vegas thinks about Game 6 in the Boston-Miami matchup for tonight.

*PAPA DUDES BEST BET OF THE DAY* Miami at Boston (-8.5): Boston leads the series 3-2: Anyone who has watched this series has seen Miami look absolutely helpless shooting the basketball. They have shot 32% from the field in the last two games and in Game 5 were 7-45 from behind the three-point line. The Celtics are letting them shoot the outside shot and gambling on them to miss them and that strategy is working. However, even though the Celtics have won the last two games, the Heat have managed to hold Boston’s offense down as well. With their shooting as bad it has been, they still were ahead at the half in Game 5. Of course, one could argue, Boston is due to snap out of it and shoot the ball a whole lot better tonight as well. As far as betting goes, it all comes down to the spread. There is no value in betting the MoneyLine on Boston and the Over/Under is risky as well. I’m just going to play a hunch that Miami is going to shoot the ball better tonight (they can’t shoot it any worse), and beat this spread that might be a tad too high. I think Boston is going to win and march into the NBA Finals, but I don’t think they cover. PAPA DUDES BEST BET: Miami +8.5
