Best bet: Julius Randle under 19.5 points. Randle injured an ankle late in the regular season, then tried to return for the playoffs. He played but his scoring was well below his typical level with averages of 14.8 PPG through the first four games of the series vs. Cleveland before aggravating the injury and having to leave Game 5 early. Randle scored more than 19.5 points in only one of his first four games against the Cavaliers. While he is still a game-time decision for Game 1 against the Heat, even if he does return, it seems unlikely he would play at a higher level than he played in the last round.

Ins and Outs of Betting on NBA Playoff Odds Most NBA bettors are going to make NBA picks against the spread. This is also known as NBA picks ATS. Sportsbooks give each NBA team a handicap of X amount of points. That means if books think the Lakers are 4 points better than the Celtics they will offer a line of Lakers -4. If a Doc's handicapper has reason to believe the Lakers are much more than 4 points better, his pick against the spread would be to take the Lakers -4. This is how all bets on the spread work unless bookmakers consider both teams to be evenly matched, in which case the line is a pick, AKA pick'em. At Doc's the majority of our NBA selections are against the spread. However, there can be outstanding value on betting NBA totals.
