Free NBA Picks For Monday April 18, 2022

Raptors vs. 76ers, 7:30PM ET

PICK: 76ers -7.5 (-106)

The Sixers looked like a force in Game 1 - and that was without a big game from Joel Embiid who was held to just 19 points on 5-15 shooting. Now the Raptors find themselves in a hole and will most likely be down two key players in Gary Trent Jr and Scottie Barnes who are doubtful with illness and injury respectively. This looks like an easy one for Philly to capitalize on.

Looking for some playoff bankroll? Bet the Sixers at the moneyline and lock in $200 as soon as a three-pointer is hit by either team! Click below to lock in your $200 from BetMGM.

Jazz vs. Mavericks, 8:30PM ET

PICK: Jazz -5 (-114)

Luka Doncic is likely to remain sidelined for Game 2 and it's most likely going to cost them another game to open up the first round. While the Jazz only just covered this line in Game 1, they're simply the better play with the roster they have compared to the Luka-less Mavericks. Utah to cover again.

Bet either team at the moneyline and lock in $200 as soon as a three-pointer is hit! Seriously, click below to lock in your $200 from BetMGM.

Nuggets vs. Warriors, 10:00PM ET

PICK: Warriors -7 (-110)

The lack of depth was a glaring issue for Denver in Game 1 as they were blown out by the Warriors and their extreme depth, outlined by the fact that they now have the greatest sixth man in basketball history, Steph Curry, back on the floor. Will Curry continue to come off the bench? It's possible given how dominant they were on Saturday. It's a nice luxury to have.
