Bet This NBA Playoffs Parlay at (+127) on Monday (Archive)
In the semifinals of the NBA Playoffs, it seems like all of the home teams are winning. Sure, the Milwaukee Bucks upset the Boston Celtics in Game 1, but since then, it’s been all home teams.
Eventually, that might change. Could tonight be the night where underdogs and road teams win? Here’s an NBA parlay to consider for tonight’s Playoff slate.
Boston Celtics vs. Milwaukee Bucks

Celtics vs. Bucks: Analysis
The Boston Celtics came extremely close to taking a 2-1 series lead over Milwaukee on Saturday. Instead, the Celtics now find themselves down 2-1 in the East Conference Semifinals, after losing 103-101.
The Celtics shot just 36.8% from the field in Game 3 but ultimately had 14 more foul shots made than Milwaukee in that game. Both teams had 12 turnovers but Milwaukee dominated inside the arc, earning 52 points in the paint.

Neither team was very electric from deep, with both teams shooting about 27% from three on around 33 or 34 shot attempts.
Overall, the Bucks just got higher quality looks inside while the Celtics continued to stay aggressive and get to the foul line.
Who Will Win Tonight?
At home, the Celtics shot lights out, but on the road, have struggled to hit shots from outside. If Boston can start to figure out the range and make shots, the Celtics will win this game.
They’re going to have to contain Giannis Antetokounmpo like they did in Game 2 to get the victory. Antetokounmpo went 16-for-30 in Game 3 and scored 42 points. If I’m the Celtics, I’m forcing other guys on that team to step up.
Take the Celtics for your NBA picks.

Memphis Grizzlies vs. Golden State Warriors
Monday, May 09, 2022 - 10:00 PM EDT at Chase Center
Grizzlies vs. Warriors: Analysis
Ja Morant injured himself after Game 3 against the Warriors, likely when he tried to block a three-point shot. Whatever you think happened is whatever. Morant might not play in tonight’s game against the Warriors with Golden State already leading 2-1 in the series.
Without Morant, the Grizzlies won’t have anyone who can step up and play like Morant. He was the reason why the Grizzlies had a chance in the first place.

I’m not buying that Morant is out of this game, however. I think he’ll actually end up playing. But even if Morant plays, he’s not going to be healthy. I’m just saying, I’d rather wait to bet this parlay with the Warriors and get better NBA odds if Morant is indeed in.
Golden State has the experience that Memphis doesn’t have. The Warriors have been through the semifinals of the West multiple times and know how to prepare. The Grizzlies don’t. They are young and stupid but extremely talented.
Who Will Win Tonight?
The Warriors might not score 142 points in this Game 4 but could come close. Golden State is always lights out at home and the Grizzlies will have trouble defending if that’s the case.
So take the Warriors on the moneyline but I would advise waiting until Morant’s confirmed in or out. The odds won’t get worse if Morant is confirmed out but they’ll get better if he’s in.
