Betting NBA Playoffs: 4 Games This Weekend | MyBookie NBA Betting Preview

Philadelphia 76ers vs Brooklyn Nets

Philadelphia 76ers (3) vs. Brooklyn Nets (6) – 76ers lead 3-0

The Philadelphia 76ers have played much better than the Brooklyn Nets this season, and it looks like this series is all but over. Philadelphia is currently a six-point favorite, according to MyBookie, and taking them -6 doesn’t seem to be a bad idea here.

Unless they decide to come out with zero energy and have to play game 5, Brooklyn should be done in this series. Even when Philadelphia has struggled throughout the first three games, they’ve still found ways to blow out Brooklyn, and that should stay true on Saturday.

Phoenix Suns vs Los Angeles Clippers

Phoenix Suns (4) vs. LA Clippers (5) – Suns lead 2-1

The Phoenix Suns are currently 5-point favorites in Los Angeles against the Clippers. It’s unexpected who’s going to be playing for Los Angeles Clippers, as Kawhi Leonard was ruled out of at game 3.

The +5 points don’t seem to be a bad idea here. If Kawhi plays, this is even a game that could possibly swing the series. They have more than enough to win the game if Leonard does play, so expect him to be back in action on Saturday.

Golden State Warriors vs Sacramento Kings

Sacramento Kings (3) vs. Golden State Warriors (6) – Kings lead 2-1

The Golden State Warriors were able to come away with a huge win in game 3 against the Sacramento Kings. They did what many expected, and that’s taking care of business on the home court.

While this was a massive game for the Sacramento Kings to get because they got to play the Warriors without Draymond Green, this is now going to be an interesting series. The Warriors are opening as 7.5-point favorites on MyBookie, and it might not be a bad idea to take them. They’ve proven what they can do on their home court year in and year out, which could be a good indication of how game 4 will go.

New York Knicks vs Cleveland Cavaliers

Cleveland Cavaliers (4) vs. New York Knicks (5) – Series tied 1-1

Some of the other lines have yet to be released, but that’s just because there are still game 3s that need to be played. At the moment, the New York Knicks are 2-point favorites in game 3 against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

This could be a similar line for game 4, so that’s something to keep in the back of our minds. It’s going to be a tough game to bet, but this could be a good time to take whichever team losses in game 3.

Denver Nuggets vs. Minnesota Timberwolves / Boston Celtics vs. Atlanta Hawks

Boston Celtics (2) vs. Atlanta Hawks (7) – Celtics lead 2-0
Denver Nuggets (1) vs. Minnesota Timberwolves (8) – Nuggets lead 2-0

Some of the other games include the Denver Nuggets and Boston Celtics. Many are expecting that both of those games are going to be blowouts as they were able to come away with impressive wins in the first two games of their series.
