Game 1- Best Bet: Boston Celtics -13.5 vs Milwaukee Bucks <\/h2>
Pick Type <\/td>Market  <\/td>Odds and Book <\/td><\/tr>
Best Bet <\/td>Boston Celtics -13.5 vs Milwaukee Bucks <\/td>-110 at FanDuel <\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>

The Boston Celtics will enter the matchup with a solid 15-8 win-loss record at home, and on the back of a blowout win over the Sacramento Kings. The Bucks on the other hand, are struggling on road with a poor 9-16 record, and are coming off a four-game loss. The hosts for the night have the second-best offensive rating and the 12th-best defensive rating<\/a>. The Bucks, on the flip side, have occupied a mid-to-lower rack spot in both offense and defense. <\/p>

The spread at Celtics -13.5 sits well with Boston considering their solid record at home as well as their rivals’ poor form. Boston covers well in such spots. <\/p>

Keeping their offensive and defensive edge as well as the Bucks’ struggling form in mind, we are laying Boston Celtics -13.5 (-110) as our Best Bet of the day. <\/p>

Game 2- Play #2: Phoenix Suns vs LA Clippers Under 213.5 Points <\/h2>
Pick Type <\/td>Market <\/td>Odds and Book <\/td><\/tr>
Play #2 <\/td>Phoenix Suns vs LA Clippers Under 213.5 Points <\/td>-110 at FanDuel <\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>

The Phoenix Suns sit at the 5th spot in terms of defensive rating, while their rivals have found themselves the 20th spot. In terms of offense, both teams are seeded in the middle of the rack. In addition to it, if we look at their pace, the Suns as well as the Clippers play considerably slow. This often results in low-scoring affairs on both sides. <\/p>

The posted total at 213.5 points has adjusted enough for expected slower pace and defensive focus. Recent matchups of both teams have trended under. <\/p>

The given total fits the defensive, slower-pace narrative perfectly. <\/p>

Game 3- Play #3: Luka Doncic Over 30.5 Points vs New York Knicks <\/h2>
Pick Type <\/td>Market <\/td>Odds and Book<\/td><\/tr>
Play #3<\/td>Luka Doncic Over 30.5 points <\/td>-118 at FanDuel <\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>

Luka Doncic is currently leading the league’s scoring with an average of 33.7 points per game<\/a>. In the last five games, he has had four 30+ point performances, which speak of his consistency. The Knicks maintain a defensive edge over the Lakers, and have home court advantage as well. However, Doncic has been dominating the charts since the beginning, and guiding the side to wins with his big scores in almost every game. <\/p>

We are backing the Slovenian star to score over 31 points against the Knicks on Sunday. <\/p>
