Today's TV Games

  • New York Knicks @ Boston Celtics – TNT/Max
  • Denver Nuggets @ Oklahoma City Thunder – TNT/Max

 

Tonight's Pick 10 (7pm ET/4pm PT)

New York @ Boston

New York pulled out a last-minute Game 6 win to earn a bit of rest, but they face a tall task against the well-rested and well-oiled Boston machine. The Celtics swept the Knicks during the regular season and have looked like a championship-caliber team all year. Expect Boston to make a statement early in this series made for national sports talk.

  1. Jalen Brunson – Over/Under 27.5 points
  2. Karl-Anthony Towns – Over/Under 11.5 rebounds
  3. OG Anunoby – Over/Under 1.5 steals
  4. Jayson Tatum – Over/Under 27.5 points
  5. Jaylen Brown – Over/Under 1.5 3-pointers made
  6. Derrick White – Over/Under 4.5 rebounds

Denver @ Oklahoma City

Denver finally put away the Clippers with a Game 7 win on Saturday and now heads straight into battle against the well-rested top seed in the West. The Nuggets will hope to replicate Indiana’s formula and steal a Game 1 win on the road—but the short turnaround might cost them. Oklahoma City, led by MVP finalist Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, will look to prove their regular-season dominance wasn’t a fluke.

  1. Nikola Jokić – Over/Under 9.5 assists
  2. Jamal Murray – Over/Under 20.5 points
  3. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander – Over/Under 31.5 points
  4. Chet Holmgren – Over/Under 2.5 blocks

Pick 5 Margin (9:30pm ET/6:30pm PT)​

Denver @ Oklahoma City

(See full game breakdown above)

  1. Nikola Jokić  – points
  2. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander – Assists
  3. Isaiah Hartenstein – Rebounds

indiana @ Cleveland (7pm ET/4pm PT Tuesday)

Cleveland finds itself in a must-win Game 2 after a complete performance by Indiana in the opener. The Cavs clearly missed Darius Garland, and if he remains out, they’ll need to find creative ways to pace the offense. While many lower-seeded teams would be satisfied with a 1–1 split on the road, Indiana looks ready to keep the pressure on and steal another game.

  1. Tyrese Haliburton – Points
  2. Donovan Mitchell – 3 Pointers Made
