Free NBA Eastern Conference Playoffs Picks, Best Bets, and Parlays for 5/7/22

Last night we saw the difference having Joel Embiid in the lineup meant for the 76ers. In his first appearance in Round 2, he scored 18 points, added 11 rebounds, and clogged up the middle defensively in Philly’s 99-79 win. And in Texas, the Mavericks showed Phoenix they aren’t going to go away as they defeated the Suns 103-94. We have two more Game 3’s today and they both should be excellent games and hard to pick.

We struggled with our Best Bet as we took the small spread and Phoenix to beat Dallas. That was a flop and our Best Bet of the Day record is now 91-47 in 2022.

We went 1-1 betting the MoneyLine and our overall record stands at 470-230 since Jan.1st.

Let’s look at the Boston-Milwaukee game tonight and see what Vegas thinks about this one.

*PAPA DUDES BEST BET OF THE DAY* Boston at Milwaukee (-1.5): The series is tied at 1-1: It is hard to get much of a read on either team in this series as each as a one-sided win over the other. In Game 2, the Celtics shot 46% from the field compared to the Bucks horrible 16% and that was a huge difference. They also were able to control Giannis Antetokounmpo holding him to 11-27 from the field and forcing him into 6 turnovers. Boston bounced back nicely after losing the first game and in a must win situation they responded. The Bucks are still without Khris Middleton and as the playoffs continue, they are missing him more. But, they are a good team at home against the Celtics where they have won 8 of the last 10 between these two. The spread is small and the Bucks should come out flying. PAPA DUDES BEST BET: Milwaukee -1.5
