NBA Betting Guide for May 13: Luka’s Best Chance at a Ring?

The NBA is hosting a doubleheader of playoff hoops tonight, so let’s review everything you need to know about both matchups.
Kicking off the night, the Boston Celtics will look to take a commanding 3-1 series lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers. The C’s rallied in Game 3 after their Game 2 disaster, led by a strong showing from Jayson Tatum, so do the Cavs have any hope at advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals or did they miss their opportunity?
Next, the Dallas Mavericks will host the Oklahoma City Thunder for Game 4 in Dallas tonight with the Mavs now holding a 2-1 series lead. The Mavs sit as just a narrow one-point home-favorite tonight, making it seem like the sportsbooks have a ton of faith in the Thunder rallying back on the road tonight.
It will be a fun night of NBA hoops, so let’s lock in, enjoy the games, and pump out some winners!
