NBA Predictions & Preview For Sunday, April 27th

And then there were 15. With the Memphis Grizzlies sent packing on Saturday by the Oklahoma City Thunder, we’re down to our final 15 in the NBA Playoffs. Here are your NBA predictions and preview for Sunday, April 27th.

NBA Predictions & Preview For Sunday, April 27th

New York Knicks vs Detroit Pistons

Start Time – 1:00 PM EST

There was plenty of controversy at the close of the game, but the New York Knicks escaped with a road win in Game 3 against the Detroit Pistons. And I think they can pull it off again in Game 4.

The Pistons were a mediocre home team this season, so dropping a home playoff game to a superior team shouldn’t be a great shock. And the Knicks are a top road team. I like the Knicks plus the points on Sunday.

Best Bet: New York +2 (-109)

Los Angeles Lakers vs Minnesota Timberwolves

Start Time – 3:30 PM EST

We’re still all aboard the Los Angeles Lakers Are Overrated Train, as it’s been one of the few things that have paid off these playoffs (even the Oklahoma City Thunder always covering the spread isn’t holding up). Not only are the Lakers overrated, but they are also a poor road team, only going 19-22 away from home during the regular season (and 0-1 in the playoffs thus far).

Anthony Edwards hasn’t even gone supernova yet this series, and the Wolves still find themselves up 2-1. Make it 3-1 after tomorrow, as I have this game lined up as Minnesota -6.5

Best Bet: Minnesota -3 (-104)

Overall Record: 170-145 (54%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $1,061.01
Return on Investment: 3%
