NBA Playoff Bets for 4/28/23

1* Kings +8.5

I caught a rogue +8.5 at a New Jersey book, but would still play this at +7.5. It seems like the zig zag theory is completely dead in the NBA Playoffs as coaches refuse to make adjustments anymore. Therefore the Kings have been within 7 points in 4 of 5 games this series, and I expect this game to be played close with the season on the line.

1* Grizzlies +5

Take away the first quarter of game 3 and the overtime period in Game 4, 17 minutes of basketball over the last 4 games and the Grizz have outplayed the Lakers. I expect the Grizzlies to keep this one close and potentially put out the win to send it to game 7.
