1.88Tip and bets
Bookmakers experts consider New York to be the undisputed favorites of the upcoming match. In their opinion, Charlotte will have minimal chances of success. And that true. Thibodeau team has been playing well at home against not the most formidable opponents this season. Lee team will play their first away match after a disastrous home series. The team from the Big Apple will have to achieve a convincing victory over a demoralized opponent.
Our prediction is a New York victory with a handicap of (-14.5) points including overtime at 1.78
Bet on individual total
Miami has been showing decent performance this season. The average is 117.1 points per game. And in home games it is a little higher - 119.9. And this time everything is going to the fact that the Knicks will be able to significantly improve their statistics.
Our prediction is New York individual total is over 118.5 points including overtime at 2.08
Bet on the player
Towns played 62 games in the regular season that ended and averaged 21.8 points per game. This season, his rate is already noticeably higher — 25.1. The 29-year-old forward has definitely not lost his basic skills. The American basketball player will be able to cause a lot of trouble for the opponent defense.
Our prediction is Towns' total points over 25.5 points including overtime at 1.87
