Best MLB & NBA Bets Today | April 14
Oklahoma City Thunder +5.5 at Minnesota Timberwolves (-112)
The Thunder have been covering the spread recently, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been leading the way for them. The Timberwolves, on the other hand, have been struggling with their chemistry and have had some off-court issues. The Thunder has been playing better basketball than the Timberwolves recently, and OddsShopper likes them to cover the spread.
Oklahoma City Thunder to Trail by 10+ and Win (+650)
This bet hit multiple times for Oklahoma City. The Thunder have a knack for coming back from behind and winning, and OddsShopper is projecting them to do it again tonight against the Timberwolves, who have been struggling with their form. The odds of +650 make this bet particularly attractive, and it is worth a small wager.
Chicago Bulls at Miami Heat Over 209 (-110)
With this being the last Eastern Conference play-in game, the pressure will be high to perform. With that in mind, despite Miami’s slow pace, the total seems too low given the potential for firepower on both teams. The Heat will look to balance their scoring, and the Bulls will try to score in transition. OddsShopper recommends the total over at-110.
Connor Overton 5+ Strikeouts (+180)
Overton has struggles in his recent starts, but now he gets to face a Philadelphia Phillies team that has been struggling at the plate. The Phillies have been striking out at a high rate, and OddsShopper projects that Overton can take advantage of this. The odds of +180 make this bet particularly attractive.
Buffalo Sabres -1.5 at Columbus Blue Jackets (+132)
The Sabres have been playing better hockey lately, and they have been getting contributions from their top players. The Blue Jackets, on the other hand, have struggled with their form all season and have been giving up too many goals. OddsShopper believes the Sabres can win by two or more goals and cover the puck line at +125.
