NBA Picks For Monday May 23, 2022

Game 4: Heat vs. Celtics 8:30PM ET

PICK: Total points OVER 207.5 (-110)

Miami and Boston do battle again tonight at TD Garden, with the Celtics favored by 6.5 points. 

But instead of taking either side to cover the spread, our best NBA bet of the night is for the total points to go over 207.5 once again.

All three games this series so far have had 212 or more points, with the highest total yet coming in the Celts' lone win in game 2.

Our model has them winning here again, making the still low total points line very appealing for us bettors. Place the bet and root for offense!

DimersBOT probability: Over 207.5 (52%), Under 207.5 (48%)

All you need to do is place a $10 moneyline bet on the team you think will win with BetMGM Sportsbook and you'll score $200 if either team hits a three-pointer. It doesn't even matter if your team wins - you'll still cash.
