Duell of the superstars in Milwaukee!
On Sunday evening and the next night, the NBA has a whole dozen games in store! Sporting attractions include the top match-up between the champions from Milwaukee and the Dallas Mavericks.
A game in which two superstars of the National Basketball Association, Giannis Antetokounmpo on the side of the hosts and Luka Doncic on the side of the visitors, will be facing each other!
Boston Celtics vs. Washington Wizards – 03 April, 19:00
The Celtics and Wizards face off on Sunday night starting at 7:00pm. The record-breaking champions are currently in great form, boasting twelve wins from their past 15 games!
Head Coach Ime Udoka can therefore be very happy with his team these days. Boston is especially strong defensively: In the corresponding rating of the NBA, the home side ranks no less than first.
The Capitals, on the other hand, arrive in a weak condition and now have no chance of making the postseason. Although they won their last guest game in Boston last October, there is currently little to suggest a repeat of that success.
For the clash between the Boston Celtics and Washington Wizards on 03.04.2022, bets on a home win with at least a 13-point lead are worth considering.
Milwaukee Bucks vs. Dallas Mavericks – 03 April, 19:00
The Bucks and Mavs last faced each other on Christmas last year and the champions prevailed 102-95 away from home in the encounter. Both top stars, Giannis Antetokounmpo for the champions and Luka Doncic for the Mavericks, were absent for the encounter.
Milwaukee’s home record against the Texans has been very poor in the recent past: Only one of the last five games in front of their own crowd at the Fiserv Forum could be won by the Budenholzer team!
On the offensive side, the hosts will once again rely on Giannis Antetokounmpo.
The two-time MVP is currently in great form again and has overtaken none other than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the franchise’s scoring rankings since Milwaukee’s penultimate game!
The “Greek Freak” now has 14,216 points in a Bucks jersey and it is certainly fair to say that he is already almost on a par with still the all-time leading scorer in NBA history.
For tonight’s clash between the Milwaukee Bucks and Dallas Mavericks, predictions of more than 30.5 points by Giannis Antetokounmpo are recommended.
In addition to the Greek’s current scoring form, the fact that the forward has recently been given a breather and will therefore be physically fresh speaks in favour of the prediction.
Los Angeles Lakers vs. Denver Nuggets – 03 April, 21:30 hrs
The Californians lost the last direct duel last January and the defeat was exceedingly clear with a 37-point lead for the basketballers from the Mile High City.
In the encounter, Nikola Jokic delivered a triple-double in points, assists and rebounds on Denver’s side. The “Joker” is also in first place in the NBA in this ranking, as he has now achieved this feat 19 times!
For the game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets this Sunday evening, betting tips on more than 51.5 points, rebounds and assists by Nikola Jokic are offered. A mark he has consistently surpassed in the past four games!
Indiana Pacers vs. Detroit Pistons – April 03, 11:00pm
The Pacers and Pistons are division rivals in the East. For both teams, however, the season is already over as they have no chance of making the postseason.
The duel is also the fourth time this season and so far the basketball players from Motown have a narrow lead with two wins and one loss. With regard to the game between the Indiana Pacers and Detroit Pistons, value can be discovered in the odds on a home win.
Due to the home advantage, the favourite role can be located with “Indy”, as the visitors travel as the weakest team away from home in the East (9-30).
Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Philadelphia 76ers – 04 April, 00:00 hrs
The Cavs and Sixers faced off just over a fortnight ago. The game was very exciting and ended with a narrow away win by Philly. The visitors achieved their fourth win in a row in this pairing.
Special Joel Embiid was unstoppable in two of the three duels of the season with the best scoring output of all players in each case: The Cameroonian centre has a season-high scoring average against the Cavs of 32.3 points!
For the showdown between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Philadelphia 76ers, bets on a repeat away win are interesting.
Orlando Magic vs. New York Knicks – 04 April, 00:00 hrs
The home side from Orlando have won the last two meetings with the Knicks. However, both victories were rather close with a six-point lead in each case.
The visitors will not be over-motivated, as they have no chance of reaching the play-in tournament in the East and their season is over.
This also applies to the home side, but this has been the case for some time now, which is why the current disappointment in New York is much higher.
For the Orlando Magic’s clash with the New York Knicks on 04.04.2022, betting on a home win seems promising.
Houston Rockets vs. Minnesota Timberwolves – 04 April, 01:00 am
The Texans have been waiting for their next win against the basketballers from the North Star State for three duels. On the offensive end, the home side’s hopes are currently pinned on Jalen Green. The rookie scored at least 30 points in the past three games!
Due to the injury of his German guard colleague Dennis Schröder and Eric Gordon, he is especially important at the moment. Especially since the personnel situation in the backcourt is basically tense this season due to the complete absence of John Wall in the backcourt.
For the game at the Toyota Center between the Houston Rockets and Minnesota Timberwolves on 4 April, betting tips on more than 22.5 points by the in-form Rockets guard Jalen Green are worth considering.
Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Phoenix Suns – 04 April, 01:00 am
OKC has lost the last five duels with the basket-hunters from the Valley and this series should continue. The visitors travel to the West as the league leaders and also boast an impressive 81.6 percent win rate away from home.
On top of that, the home side’s personnel situation is very bad: With players like Dort, Bazley and Gilgeous-Alexander, several important players are missing due to injury.
For the match between Oklahoma City Thunder and Phoenix Suns on 04.04.2022, predictions on an away win with at least 14 points difference are recommended.
The prediction is supported by the point that the guests would set a new franchise record with 63 victories in the regular season with a win. A fact that will fuel motivation on the visitors’ side.
San Antonio Spurs vs. Portland Trail Blazers – 04 April, 01:00 am
The Lone Star State basketball team and the Trail Blazers face each other for the third time this season. The hosts have won both of the previous meetings. The victories were also always very clear with at least a 31-point difference.
The guests are now arriving in a weak condition again. The reason is the absence of several key players like Damian Lillard or Jusuf Nurkic.
Due to six defeats in a row, the chance of participating in the play-in tournament in the Western Conference is no longer given.
The situation is completely different for the home side, who are currently tenth in the West and would like to get the last ticket for the intermediate round on their way to the postseason. Against this background, a highly motivated home team can be expected.
In the game between the San Antonio Spurs and Portland Trail Blazers, bets on a home win with at least a 14-point difference look promising.
Toronto Raptors vs. Miami Heat – 04 April, 01:00 hrs
The Canadians get a high visit in the home Scotiabank Arena on 04.04.2022. The guests from Florida rank first in the Eastern Conference.
However, after a win in the first duel of the season last January, they had to admit defeat to the Raps twice. Gary Trent in particular likes to play against Miami: the 23-year-old shooting guard averaged a whopping 33 points in his two outings!
For the next edition of Toronto Raptors vs Miami Heat, the betting odds on more than 17.5 points by Gary Trent are therefore of interest.
In addition, the visitors will be a bit tired as they played Chicago last night and are therefore playing a back-to-back. A starting position that should also weaken the defensive work on the part of Spoelstra’s troops at least a bit.
Sacramento Kings vs. Golden State Warriors – 04 April, 03:00
The Kings will once again live up to their reputation as perennial playoff missers this year. Once again, it won’t be enough to make the postseason. For 16 years now, the basket ball hunters from Sactown have only been onlookers when it comes to the NBA title.
The visitors, for their part, have already punched their ticket to the playoffs as third in the West. Furthermore, they have won the past four duels with the basketball players from Sactown. However, the six-time champions are currently in a crisis.
Without the injured top scorer Stephen Curry, the team of head coach Steve Kerr has only one win in the past five games.
For the California derby between the Sacramento Kings and Golden State Warriors, bets on more than 20.5 points by Davion Mitchell on the home side are worth considering.
The point guard has only failed to score at least 21 points in one of the last six games and has successfully stepped into the offensive breach due to various absences such as Sabonis or Fox. On top, the guests have to play a back-to-back, which puts them at a physical disadvantage.
Los Angeles Clippers vs. New Orleans Pelicans – 04 April, 03:30 hrs
With LA against New Orleans, two table neighbours in the midfield of the Western Conference face each other. The Los Angeles hoopsters have had to wait five tries for their next win against NOLA.
All defeats were of a clear nature, as the gap was at least 13 points at the final siren. Especially Jonas Valanciunas could not be controlled in the recent games.
The bearded centre delivered the best scoring performance of all players on the court in two of the three duels so far this season. On the other hand, the home side will be relying on Paul George in particular.
“Playoff P” has been available again since the third-last game after a very long injury break. His comeback is impressive: George averaged 28 points in the two games since his return.
In addition, Head Coach Tyronn Lue’s team recently set a new regular season franchise record with 153 points against the Bucks!
In a game in which both sides spared their stars, the second suit at the Clippers showed that it is also equipped for the final spurt in the season.
For the duel between the Los Angeles Clippers and New Orleans Pelicans, however, predictions of more than 18.5 points by Jonas Valanciunas on the part of the visitors represent the first choice of the betting pool.
As described, the previous season duels have shown that the centre is a real mismatch for the home side.
