NBA Predictions & Preview For Thursday, April 10th

Cleveland Cavaliers vs Indiana Pacers

Start Time – 7:00 PM EST

Jarrett Allen is the only Cleveland Cavaliers’ starter expected to suit up tomorrow when the team visits the Indiana Pacers. But can I really resist taking the Cavs as big road dogs?

I can not. I think Cleveland is deep enough to keep this one close and cover the spread for us. My line is Cleveland -4, but that is with the full team playing. Still, there should be enough wiggle room for us to hit this play.

Best Bet: Cleveland +9 (-110)

Atlanta Hawks vs Brooklyn Nets

Start Time – 7:30 PM EST

The Brooklyn Nets are one of those aforementioned tanking teams, and they’re trying to quell their current “hot streak” (three wins in the past five games) by sitting players tomorrow at home against the Atlanta Hawks. But this spread is way too wide.

So I’m playing the Nets. Yikes. But we’ve got a short slate of games, and the end of the season tends to be a crapshoot anyhow. Plus, the Hawks are crummy on the road, and my line is only Atlanta -2.

Best Bet: Brooklyn +13.5 (-105)

Overall Record: 160-126 (56%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $2,009.79
Return on Investment: 7%
