TOP -NBA betting picks for Wednesday 07.07.25

Is it compared to the previous day or something? In the second round of the NBA playoffs, road teams are up to five. The comeback by Indiana Pacers in Indiana Pacers compared to the Cleveland Cavaliers is probably the most shocking result so far.

The New York Knicks and Denver Nuggets can make the seven tonight because they try to lead 2-0 lead over the Boston Celtics or Oklahoma City Thunder.

Here are my best bets for today's game 6 Draftking's sports bookWith two from every game.

Let's take a look at the full slate:

New York Knicks at Boston Celtics, 7 p.m.
Denver Nuggets in Oklahoma City Thunder, 9:30 p.m.

It seems quite likely that one of the teams who lost in game 1 will bounce back into game 2 with a blowout win, and when Los Angeles Lakers fan, I unfortunately think that the Boston will be. The Celtics were on the best way, the Knicks in game 1 to hide in the third quarter had a lead of 20 points-and then they took their foot off the gas. OG Anunoby and Clutch player of the year, Jalen Brunson, played a critical role in the management of the comeback, but Boston could certainly not have planned to shoot four-against-21 from the field and two for 15 from the arch. This shootout will normalize at some point.

When I sat down to predict this series, I thought there would be a blowout, moderate Celtics victory and four close games that went in both directions in both directions. I hadn't expected game 1 one of the two tight New York victories, but the overall calculation has not changed. The Celtics are angry and the reaction in game 2 seems to be the most logical place for a blowout. Just as you are occasionally 15-against-60-three-point shooting night, you can also go 30-to-60. Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Derrick White and Payton Pritchard will not shoot 11-by-43 again on open or wide-open three.

The fact that the over-end-line for points plus rebounds of the cities is only 29.5 for a player who achieved an average of 24.4 points and 12.8 boards per game during the regular season is a castle to make an all-NBA team for the third time and two 35+ combined point/rebound efforts and one 23-point 11-point 11-boat 11-board game to play in the last series. Sure, he was a little excited in the fourth quarter of game 1 and tried only four shots in the fourth quarter and in the extension while he had Anunoby and Brunson adopt, but he is still a talent of the Hall of Fame that can get his offensive whenever he wants. During the regular season, he reached 35 combined P/R 45 times, including twice against Boston.

It is particularly likely that he has reached this number depending on the status of Kristaps Porzingis, game 1 due to an illness that may be related to the breathing problem that was connected to it at the end of February and beginning of March for eight games. Although Porzingis has been classified as likely for today's competition, it is not foreseeable whether it will approach about 100%. In the best case, Porzingis is one of the best post-defenders The league-in-head of the regular season only shot the opponents 47.7% within six feet of the basket when he was guarded by him. The second lowest brand of 334 players to defend at least 100 shots on the edge-but if he is not healthy, the 38-year-old Al Horford will have difficulty stopping cities inside.

The Nuggets recipe for a victory of game 1 was quite sustainable, which was supposed to deal in Oklahoma City. Nikola Jokić was of course brilliant with a 42-point masterpiece with 22 points, but that can be expected from the best player in the world. It is not as if Denver shot particularly well – 44.2% from the field, 31.3% three – and the thunder did not shot horrificEither – 42.0% from the field and 34.9% of three. Oklahoma City won the sales battle by nine and leads all participants of the conference semi-final, which have so far been shown at both quick points and points from the sales. With the exception of a five-against-20 night of Jalen Williams, thunder did its work in game 1.

You simply cannot be 63-43, as Oklahoma City did in game 1 and expected to win, and after the thunder had permitted the eleventh rebound per game during the regular season, this was a real concern in the playoffs. Denver had 54 points in the color and 27 points of the second chance, and the only border protection this season was as a porcingis-heer weighs only £ 213, 71 pounds lighter than Jokić. If the nuggets continue to feed big honey in the color and he can continue to draw fouls on Isaiah Hartenstein and Holmgren, Denver will score points and maybe even win games.

Just as I selected cities to achieve a jump back against the Celtics, I am also back in order to weaken after a weakening rough Game 1 excursion in which he probably was the least effective player from Oklahoma City. He only had 16 points and only shot five against 20 from the field, two against Nine from beyond the arch and only four for six from the free -wing line, his least of all efficient Turning out of the season. There were other players who have a certain responsibility for the defeat – mainly Holmgren, whose defense against Jokić was not great and who missed two free throws in order to give the nuggets a chance to win at all – but Williams must be better in game 2.

It will also be better on the offensive, but I do not take his points as a whole, since its number is set to 22.5 to an overly high 22.5. He act Make an impact on defense in game 1, record two steals and two blocks and keep Aaron Gordon in the 22 possessions he guarded him on seven points, and I'll take it back again tonight to do this again. Denver gives up too many sales – that's exactly what happens when Jamal Murray and Russell Westbrook share the ground – in the regular season in the lower half in this category and the lower five so far in these playoffs. The entire thunder is benefited, but Williams is the most versatile defender of the squad.
