Best NHL & NBA Bets Today | April 24
Kevin Love Over 1.5 3-Pointers (-140)
Love essentially been relegated to catch-and-shoot guy in the Heat offense, and Miami will need someone to step up in place of Tyler Herro for Game 4 against Milwaukee. Love has the potential to make two or three 3-pointers, especially since he is likely to get minutes on the court. Miami will need to keep pace with the fast Bucks offense, and Love’s shooting could be a key factor.
Caleb Martin Over 1.5 3-Pointers (+190)
While this pick may seem a bit risky, the plus money makes this an excellent opportunity. Martin is almost guaranteed to around 30 minutes, so he will have ample opportunity to take some 3-pointers. Although he is not the most consistent shooter, Martin only needs to make two 3-pointers to make this bet a home run at this price. With Miami missing some key players, including Herro and Victor Oladipo, Martin could be called upon to step up his game.
D’Angelo Russell Over 2.5 Turnovers (+115)
Russell has been prone to turnovers throughout the season. He is likely to have a couple of turnovers in any given game, and this bet is asking for just one more. If the Los Angeles Lakers win by a significant margin, Russell may be more likely to turn the ball over as he tries to force plays. This pick is not without risk, but at these odds, it is an excellent opportunity to make some money.
LeBron James 35+ Points (+270)
Though James has not hit this line in any playoff game, he did get there in two of the last four games of the regular season. He is still the Lakers’ best player, and with Anthony Davis potentially playing through injury, James may need to take on an even more significant role. He has the ability to score over 35 points on any given night, and he will be highly motivated to do so to put this series largely out of reach.
Colorado Avalanche at Seattle Kraken Over 6.0 Goals
Both teams have had their fair share of high-scoring games this season. The Kraken are one of the better teams in the West when it comes to scoring goals, and the Avalanche have been able to put some pucks in the net themselves. This game should be a back-and-forth affair, with both teams scoring plenty of goals. Plus, even if the game ends up with exactly six goals, bettors will get their money back.
