Free NBA Western Conference Playoff Picks, Best Bets, and Parlays for 4/27/22

We had some great basketball to watch last night in the three playoff games. The Memphis-Minnesota game was an instant classic and Atlanta took the Heat to the wire before falling 97-94. In Phoenix, the Suns finally showed their muscle and showed the young Pelicans who the best team in the league is. We have one game in each conference tonight and they could both be elimination games.

We missed both our 2 Best Bets yesterday as Miami and Memphis both won but failed to cover. Our Best Bet of the Day record now stands at 86-43 in 2022. closed out the Nets and Dallas thrashed the Jazz.

We did have a good night betting the MoneyLine as we went 3-0 to raise our overall record to 459-228 since Jan.1st.

out of $61.16. That’s our 3rd parlay in the last 4 days.

Let’s look at the Denver-Golden State game tonight and see what Vegas is thinking.

*PAPA DUDES BEST BET* Denver at Golden State (-9): Golden State leads the series 3-1: The Nuggets showed some life in Denver in games 3 and 4 and staved off elimination with a 126-121 win to keep the series going. Nikola Jokic has been outstanding, as usual, and he received support from Monte Morris and Aaron Gordon in game 4 and Denver lives to face another day. The question will be whether the Nuggets can duplicate their 56% shooting from game 4, or will they revert to the poor play they showed in the first two games in California. The Warriors will likely return Stephen Curry to the starting lineup after he poured in 33 points coming off the bench in the last outing. They seem to be hitting their stride and they are a dangerous team for anyone to beat. I think Golden State wins the game, but because of Jokic and the difficulty of trying to close out a team to end a series, I’m hesitant to pick them to cover. PAPA DUDES BEST BET: Denver +9
