Free NBA Eastern Conference Playoffs Picks, Best Bets, and Parlays for 5/10/22

Another good night of betting the NBA is in the books as we saw Boston overtake the Bucks with a great 4th quarter to even that series at 2-2. And, in San Francisco, Golden State overcame a poor shooting night and beat a tenacious Memphis team 101-98 to take a 3-1 lead. The Grizzlies will return home for game 5 not knowing whether their star, Ja Marant will miss another game or not. Tonight, we have two pivotal Game 5’s and they both should be great games.

We cashed our Best Bet yesterday, after the Celtics scored 43 points in the 4th quarter to overcome Milwaukee. Our Best Bet of the Day record is now 94-47 in 2022.

We went 2-0 betting the MoneyLine and our overall record stands at 476-230 since Jan.1st.

Let’s look at the Philadelphia-Miami game tonight and see what we can bet..

*PAPA DUDES BEST BET OF THE DAY* Philadelphia at Miami (-3): The series is tied at 2-2: Both teams have held serve on their home court as this one returns to Miami for a pivotal Game 5. It shouldn’t have come as any surprise that Joel Embiid’s return to the lineup has given the 76ers a huge lift and has turned around the series. In Game 4, Embiid scored 24 points and grabbed 11 rebounds and James Harden poured in 31 points and looked like the younger version. Philly shot 54% from the field and were 16-33 from behind the arc. If they continue that kind of shooting, they are almost impossible to beat. Meanwhile, in Miami, the Heat find themselves searching for answers. Looking at the Game 4 stats, there are 2 noticeable things that jump off the page.. They were a pitiful 7-35 from the 3-point line, and Jimmy Butler and Ben Adebayo were there only offensive threats. And despite the poor shooting, they only lost by 8. They are going to shoot better at home and the Sixers probably won’t shoot as well on the road. That, plus the fact, that Philadelphia hasn’t won in Miami since 2019 has me leaning towards Miami. PAPA DUDES BEST BET: MIAMI -3
