Free NBA Picks For Sunday May 8, 2022

Suns vs. Mavericks, 3:30PM ET

PICK: Suns -2.5 (-106)

The Mavs shocked everyone by taking Game 3 after two comprehensive wins by the Suns in Phoenix, but the question will be: can they do it again? The Suns got nothing out of their main guys in Booker and Paul who were well held, while they also got just 17 points from their bench - 10 points less than their average so far this postseason. Phoenix are the superior team and there are just too many things that would have to go wrong again for Dallas to even this series.

Heat vs. 76ers, 8:00PM ET

PICK: Total points UNDER 207.5 (-110)

While we think the Mavs getting one back on the Suns in Game 3 may have been a fluke, we have a genuine series on our hands down in Philly. Joel Embiid is the obvious X-Factor, providing much needed strength in the post as the Heat were limited to just 79 points. Low scoring, slow-paced games has been the tale of Miami's postseason, regardless of whether they have been winning or losing with 7 of the 8 games played so far all going below the total set by the 'books. That trend looks good to continue again here.
