NBA Predictions & Preview For Sunday, April 20th

I told you the Los Angeles Lakers were overrated. Hopefully, you heeded that advice and ignored the part where I told you that the Detroit Pistons would cover the spread against the New York Knicks. Here are your NBA predictions and preview for Sunday, April 20th.

NBA Predictions & Preview For Sunday, April 20th

Orlando Magic vs Boston Celtics

Start Time – 3:30 PM EST

It’s a shame that the Orlando Magic will be without two key players for this series (Moritz Wagner and Jalen Suggs), but them’s the breaks. The Magic aren’t beating the Boston Celtics in a seven-game series even with a full roster.

However, they are covering the spread for us in the first game of the series tomorrow afternoon. My line for this game is Boston -11.5, so the Magic plus the points is worthy of a play.

Best Bet: Orlando +13.5 (-110)

Golden State Warriors vs Houston Rockets

Start Time – 9:30 PM EST

Speaking of overrated teams, another one resides in California, as well, and its name is the Golden State Warriors. So I’m not surprised that I found the spread for their Game 1 against the Houston Rockets to be playable.

The Rockets are dogs, and their brand of hard-nosed defense should play well in the playoffs. Plus, they are much younger and didn’t have to slog through the NBA Play-In. My line is Houston -4.5, so the value is on the Rockets on the spread.

Best Bet: Houston +1.5 (-102)

Overall Record: 167-134 (55%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $1,847.24
Return on Investment: 6%
