Pacers vs Bucks Quick Bet to Make
Tyrese Haliburton is our guy for this game. We are going with him getting at least 19 points tonight. The Pacers have a chance to win this series at home, and we believe that their best player will have a big night. In their last home game against the Bucks, Haliburton scored 24 points.
That being said, Haliburton getting at least 19 points is a value bet.

Philadelphia 76ers vs New York Knicks Best Bet
9PM EST
Philadelphia, PA
Wells Fargo Center
For May 3,2024, we will look at the clash between the Philadelphia 76ers and New York Knicks in Philadelphia. The Knicks lead the series 3-2. Expect a high-intensity game. The 76ers need this win to come back if they want to keep their hopes alive.
Current Form
The 76ers have won two of their last five games. Tyrese Maxey saved them from losing the first round against the Knicks in 5 games. It was another tight game where the Knicks were so close to closing out this series. The 76ers stepped up in the overtime, and managed to steal the game in New York. Joel Embiid is still playing, but he is not looking healthy at all.
The Knicks were on the verge of winning the 1st round series against the 76ers in New York last night. Unfortunately for them, the Knicks failed to score many needed free throws at the end of the 4th quarter. Tyrese Maxey made them pay for that. Jalen Brunson had another 40pt game, but that was not enough. The players looked exhausted in the overtime, since Tom Thibodeau played with only 7 players the whole game.

76ers vs Knicks Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, the 76ers are slight favorites in this matchup. Looking at the last game, Joel Embiid was not a big threat offensively. We believe that the Knicks will have less pressure playing in Philadelphia, and that they will end this series away from home.
That being said, the Knicks winning is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: New York Knicks winning @2.30 @bet365
