Timberwolves (+154) to defeat the 76ers
The Timberwolves have lost two of their last three games, with both losses coming to the Detroit Pistons, who have the best record in the Eastern Conference. However, they’ve won three straight and five of their last six games against teams not named the Pistons, including wins over Boston and Houston. The Timberwolves have the No. 7 scoring offense at 117.8 points per game, and even if Anthony Edwards is out (he’s only played one game since March 15), the Timberwolves still have capable scorers in Julius Randle, Jaden McDaniels and more. Meanwhile, the 76ers are just 21-17 at home this season. The Timberwolves are 21-16 on the road this season, and Minnesota wins in 57% of the model’s simulations, showcasing nice value at plus-money odds.

Magic vs. Mavericks: Under 238.5 total points (-108)
The Under has hit in two of the last three Magic games, and in three straight contests involving the Mavericks. None of the last three Dallas games even surpassed 222 points, as the Mavericks have failed to score more than 100 points in any of those contests. They combined for 229 points in their first meeting of the season on March 5, and have gone Under this total in three straight and in eight of their last nine head-to-head matchups. The model projects the Under to hit in 61.7% of simulations. Back the Under to hit at DraftKings here, and claim $200 in bonus bets instantly as a new user:
Diamondbacks (-105) to defeat the Braves
“Momentum is the next day’s starting pitcher.” This famous baseball quote has proven true throughout history, and the model sees that to be the case again for Friday. Baseball is very much a day-by-day sport, so even though the Braves defeated the Diamondbacks, 17-2, on Thursday, there’s no guarantee of Atlanta’s offensive production carrying into Friday night. Tonight, the Diamondbacks start Eduardo Rodriguez, who threw five shutout innings against the high-powered Dodgers in his debut this season. Meanwhile, the Braves are starting Grant Holmes, who allowed three runs over five innings to the Royals and went 4-9 last season. The model projects the Diamondbacks to bounce back, winning in 53% of simulations. Back the Diamondbacks to win at DraftKings here, and claim $200 in bonus bets instantly as a new user:
