NBA Betting Guide for April 22: Can Sixers Knot Series?

After an eventful weekend of playoff basketball, we have three Game Twos ready to go for Monday, so let’s break them all down.

Kicking off the night, the Cleveland Cavaliers and Orlando Magic will meet once again after the Cavs dominated Game 1 on Saturday afternoon. Can Donovan Mitchell have himself another 30-piece to hold off the Magic’s attack?

Moving on, in the first leg of TNT’s doubleheader, the Philadelphia 76ers and New York Knicks will battle it out in Madison Square Garden once again, with both Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid listed as questionable for tonight. Assuming both of the Sixers’ stars are able to go, can they drum up enough of answer for the Knicks’ rebounding and three-point shooting?

Closing out the night, the Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets will square off in Game 2 after the Nuggets dominated the second half of Game 1 after the Lakers took a halftime lead. Do the Lakers have any hope at tying this series knowing how much the Nuggets have dominated them?

It’s going to be a fun night of NBA hoops, so let’s lock in, enjoy the games, and pump out some winners!
