Best NBA Bets Today | May 11
Philadelphia 76ers Moneyline vs. Boston Celtics (+118)
The Philadelphia 76ers are the favorites to win this game. The Celtics are struggling, with a lack of direction and coaching to set things straight. Jayson Tatum keeps starting slow and has not gotten going until the second quarter. With that trend, he will be unable to lead the team to victory. In contrast, the 76ers have the momentum on their side and will close out the series tonight.
Tyrese Maxey Over 4.5 Rebounds (+112)
Maxey is getting plus money for his rebounds over. However, OddsShopper likes him to get more than 4.5 rebounds in this game. Maxey has been active on the boards and is getting a significant amount of playing time. He recently had a 30-point game in Game 5 and is expected to be just as active on the boards. The prop is also dependent on the 76ers continuing to keep him out there for 30 to 35 minutes, which they have been doing all postseason. He has gone over 4.5 rebounds in the last three games, including an eight-rebound Game 4 in 45 minutes.
Denver Nuggets at Phoenix Suns Over 225.5 (-110)
The Denver Nuggets and Phoenix Suns are expected to have a high-scoring game, and over 225.5 points is a good bet. Both teams have elite level scoring, with multiple guys on each team that can easily get 20-plus points. Michael Porter Jr., Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic need to keep the scoring going for the Nuggets, while the Suns are relying on Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. The third scorer for both teams could end up being the deciding factor in this game, but with Murray expected to get close to 30 points, the over bet is a safe bet.
Kevin Durant Under 46.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-106)
Durant has been on a hot streak in the last few games, but it is unlikely that he will be able to sustain this level of performance. Even if he drops 30 points, he will need to get 17 more rebounds and assists, and that is a lofty ask in this game. Even if he drops 35 points, the bet is still looking pretty good. With a lot of production to go around with the Suns, Durant’s line is simply too high.
