Speaker 1: it's all about? So without further ado, let's get to
Speaker 1: the top ten NBA playoff bets for twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1: Number ten The LA Lakers, you upset the Memphis Grizzlies
Speaker 1: in Round one of the playoffs. Now, the Lakers might
Speaker 1: have gotten a gift as the Timberwolves were in complete
Speaker 1: disarray heading into the play in games. But also the
Speaker 1: La Lakers are starting to get healthy for the first time,
Speaker 1: and you can't discount Lebron James in the playoffs. Anthony
Speaker 1: Davis also starting to play well for the Los Angeles Lakers,
Speaker 1: and perhaps the Lakers are one of the rare exceptions
Speaker 1: of a team that wasn't so dazzling in the regular
Speaker 1: season but might be a little bit more dangerous in
Speaker 1: the playoffs. They might be dangerous enough too with Lebron
Speaker 1: for that first round upset. So keep a close eye
Speaker 1: on the Lakers and the Memphis Grizzlies because this one
Speaker 1: has all the opportunity to make some money on the
Speaker 1: Lakers side of things. Number nine the Warriors defeating the
Speaker 1: Sacramento Kings in Round one of the NBA Playoffs. Now,
Speaker 1: the Kings might have had a better regular season record
Speaker 1: than the Warriors, but don't forget the Warriors are the
Speaker 1: reigning defending champions, coming off their fourth title in eight years,
Speaker 1: and their core group is still returning. So although the
Speaker 1: Sacramento Kings certainly put up some really good stats this year,
Speaker 1: and one can argue that they had the best offensive
Speaker 1: rating in the recently concluded regular season. But this is
Speaker 1: about experience, especially experience in the playoffs handling your business,
Speaker 1: and that's one spot where the Warriors can still shine
Speaker 1: and maybe outshine the Sacramento King. So put some money
Speaker 1: on the Warriors to advance in Round one. Number eight,
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Cavaliers sweep that's right, sweep the New York
Speaker 1: Knicks in round one of the playoffs. Tom Thibodeau, coach
Speaker 1: of the New York Knicks, has really put the pedal
Speaker 1: to the medal, and the Knicks look like they might
Speaker 1: be out of gas. Julius Randall suffering that ankle sprain
Speaker 1: that is still unknown about his availability for the playoffs,
Speaker 1: that it seems like it's a good chance he doesn't
Speaker 1: play at all. That means that the Knicks are gonna
Speaker 1: have a hard time defending Donovan Mitchell in a hard
Speaker 1: time keeping pace with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Could be an
Speaker 1: easy first round get through for the Cleveland Calves and
Speaker 1: an early exit for the New York Knicks. Number seven
Speaker 1: the Phoenix Suns to win the Western Conference plus two
Speaker 1: hundred over on FanDuel. Now, the Phoenix Suns are the
Speaker 1: heavy favorite, and two to one is still pretty good
Speaker 1: outs to come out of the West where they are
Speaker 1: the best team on paper, but on paper is not
Speaker 1: where you win championships, so I'm not quite writing that
Speaker 1: story yet. However, to win the West, it's still a
Speaker 1: pretty good wager. The acquisition of Kevin Durant and obviously
Speaker 1: not having to give up DeAndre Ayton in that deal,
Speaker 1: was a huge win for the Phoenix Suns. But Durant
Speaker 1: needs to stay healthy so that lineup can continue to
Speaker 1: build chemistry throughout the playoffs, and if they can get
Speaker 1: by the Clippers in the first round, then the Phoenix
Speaker 1: Suns could have a clear shot at the finals. Number
Speaker 1: six the Golden State Warriors to win the Western Conference
Speaker 1: plus five hundred over at bet MGM. So, if it's
Speaker 1: not the Phoenix Suns, and we were looking to wet
Speaker 1: our beaks a little bit more in terms of what
Speaker 1: we can get out of our investment, that perhaps the
Speaker 1: Golden State Warriors is the way to go. This team
Speaker 1: is battle tested, they have the star power, they have
Speaker 1: the coach, they have all the right tools. It's just
Speaker 1: whether or not they can get hot at the right
Speaker 1: time in the playoffs. And we've seen teams like this
Speaker 1: turn it on in the playoffs and run the table.
Speaker 1: We've seen the Warriors do this before. So in terms
Speaker 1: of who could be dangerous in the West, well, if
Speaker 1: it's not the Suns, it could certainly be the defending champs.
Speaker 1: Number five, the Boston Celtics to win the NBA Championship
Speaker 1: at plus three seventy over on FanDuel. Now. The Boston
Speaker 1: Celtics certainly got out in front early in the Eastern Conference,
Speaker 1: but the rest of the conference did catch up and
Speaker 1: coach Joe Mizzula being promoted to official head coach status
Speaker 1: has been a good move for the Boston Celtics. Here's
Speaker 1: the thing. Although they got off to that hot start,
Speaker 1: and although the other teams in the division seem to
Speaker 1: have closed the gap, the Celtics are still a very
Speaker 1: talented team. So depending on how the brackets shake out,
Speaker 1: the Celtics could find themselves in a really good position,
Speaker 1: basically only having to beat either the Bucks or the
Speaker 1: seventy six ers depending how the brackets fall, and if
Speaker 1: they can do that, then the NBA title could still
Speaker 1: be well within their grasp. Number four the Philadelphia seventy
Speaker 1: six Ers to win the NBA Championship at plus nine
Speaker 1: hundred over on BETMGM. Now. The Philadelphia seventy six Ers
Speaker 1: are poised to absolutely be able to return on this
Speaker 1: very big number here, and here's why. Joel Embiid has
Speaker 1: absolutely played like an MVP down the stretch, and the
Speaker 1: Sixers have a deep enough team where they can compete
Speaker 1: with anybody in the East or the West. The Sixers
Speaker 1: also have the same thing the Celtics have going for them,
Speaker 1: which is, depending on how the bracket shakeout, they might
Speaker 1: only have to beat one of those other big time
Speaker 1: teams in the East in order to get to the finals.
Speaker 1: And we all believe that the East might be better
Speaker 1: suited to winning this year's title than the West. Time
Speaker 1: will tell, but this is a huge ROI on the
Speaker 1: seventy six Ers and one that you should strongly consider.
Speaker 1: Number three the Milwaukee Bucks to win the NBA Championship
Speaker 1: plus two forty over on FanDuel. Now. This is a
Speaker 1: much smaller number than the Celtics or the seventy six Ers,
Speaker 1: but the Bucks are the favorite for a reason, and
Speaker 1: Yannis again has also played like an MVP, just like
Speaker 1: Joel Embiid. Here's the thing. The Milwaukee Bucks might not
Speaker 1: have that Robin to Janis as batman, but they do
Speaker 1: have Giannis and this could be a huge year for
Speaker 1: him as the Bucks are getting hot at the right time. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's a smaller number, but if we're writing a story
Speaker 1: of who we think is going to win, and the
Speaker 1: Bucks are the favorite in the East, and the East
Speaker 1: is the beast to beat, then the Bucks should have
Speaker 1: some strong considerations for heavy investments in the NBA Playoffs,
Speaker 1: which brings us to number two the NBA Finals pairing
Speaker 1: Bucks versus the Suns plus five hundred on FanDuel. Is
Speaker 1: it a little boring? Is it a little chalk? Yeah? Probably,
Speaker 1: but it feels like it could be right. And if
Speaker 1: you already think that the Suns really just have to
Speaker 1: get past maybe the Golden State Warriors in order to
Speaker 1: anoint themselves as West Coast champs, and you think the
Speaker 1: Bucks are the favorites for a reason in the East,
Speaker 1: then probably the best way to make money is to
Speaker 1: combine them both on this wager of plus five hundred
Speaker 1: over on FanDuel and get the most bang for your buck.
Speaker 1: See what I did there, Most bang for your buck.
Speaker 1: You're welcome. I'll be here all week, which brings us
Speaker 1: to our final wager, Number one NBA Finals exact outcome
Speaker 1: the Bucks to beat the Suns at plus nine to
Speaker 1: fifty over on FanDuel. Look at this number, plus nine
Speaker 1: to fifty. If we're writing a story about the NBA
Speaker 1: Playoffs and we're investing in that story and that narrative, well,
Speaker 1: these are the two protagonists, antagonists, whatever you want to
Speaker 1: call them, that meet in the very end. And this
Speaker 1: is the best way to make money on the NBA
Speaker 1: Finals is to pick this outcome between the two teams
Speaker 1: that we think is going to get to the big dance.
Speaker 1: Yes it feels a little chalky, Yes it might be
Speaker 1: some big stars here in terms of the kind of
Speaker 1: movie we're writing, and maybe Jerry Bruckheimer would have to
Speaker 1: direct it. But I'll say this, if indeed we get
Speaker 1: this Bucks Sun series and the Bucks are the favorites,
Speaker 1: the best number you could possibly get is this plus
Speaker 1: nine to fifty. And to lock it in now because
Speaker 1: we know it's going to change as teams get eliminated
Speaker 1: from the playoffs and the Bucks and Suns are still
Speaker 1: hanging around well into late May. Well, there you have it.

Speaker 1: NBA Finals and the NBA bets that you want to
