NBA Betting Guide for May 2: South Philly Showdown Awaits

We have just a two-game postseason NBA slate tonight and one game that will have all basketball fans tuning in, so let’s dive into all the action.

First, the Milwaukee Bucks and Indiana Pacers meet for Game 6 in Indy tonight, after the Bucks dominated Game 5 without their two starts in Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard sidelined. Both stars are doubtful again tonight, so do the Pacers have enough juice under them to close out the short-handed Bucks at home? Well, they better because a Game 7 on the road where both stars may try to return is precisely what the Pacers cannot have.

Next, the matchup we’ve all been tuning in for is here again, as the Philadelphia 76ers will welcome the New York Knicks back to South Philly. This series has been everything a basketball fan can imagine, and it’s hard to predict what could be in store for tonight. But we know for sure it will be full of animosity and excitement and will certainly go down to the wire. Buckle up; it’s going to be an electric one.

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