Free NBA Eastern Conference Playoffs Picks, Best Bets, and Parlays for 5/12/22

Tell me what that was last night in Memphis and why are the Grizzlies suddenly so much better without Ja Marant? Golden State went into Memphis with a chance to close out the Grizzlies and head to the Western Conference finals. Instead, they are limping back home for a Game 6, with a bunch of question marks, after a 134-95 beatdown. And there is Boston, who had Milwaukee in a choke hold and let them off the hook losing at home 110-107. That wasn’t a big surprise, but it was a demoralizing loss for the Celtics. The action continues tonight with two more exciting contests as Miami and Phoenix will try to win their way to the Conference finals.

We missed our Best Bet yesterday, after the Grizzlies demolished the Warriors.. Our Best Bet of the Day now stands at 95-48 in 2022.

We went 0-2 betting the MoneyLine and our overall record stands at 478-232 since Jan.1st.

We did make a profit on betting Milwaukee and the points against the Celtics so all was not lost, but our hot streak came to an end.

Let’s see if we can get back on track tonight and analyze Game 6 of the Miami-Philadelphia series.

*PAPA DUDES BEST BET OF THE DAY* Miami at Philadelphia (-2.5): Miami leads the series 3-2: No one has been able to win on the other’s home floor and the 76ers hope that trend continues tonight in Game 6. Miami dominated on Tuesday winning 120-85, and beating the Sixers in every category. They totally outmuscled Philly and they have the momentum in this game tonight. Joel Embiid is clearly not healthy and he is going to have to heal up quickly to be effective. He could use some help from the Sixers 3-point shooters who were a combined 9-32 in Game 5. The Heat took advantage of Philadelphia’s poor shooting and shot 54% in one of their best offensive performances of the playoffs. Jimmy Butler led the way with 23 points and 6 other Heat players scored 10 or more points as well. Miami would love to close this series out tonight and get healed up for the Eastern Conference finals, but it will be anything but easy against a 76er team that is going to bring everything they’ve got. PAPA DUDES PICK: Miami +2.5
