There are plenty of NBA matches to bet on this week, and as usual, has prepared his betting tips for two of Saturday morning’s matches. Feel free to add his tips to your bet slip.

15 April 01:00 Miami Heat v Chicago Bulls

The Heat struggled to cover the spread during the regular season and would win with short margins against teams like the Rockets or Pistons. They failed to cover the spread against the Hawks and they will fail here too. During the regular season, the Bulls swept the Heat covering the spread in all three games. As good as they can defend, it’s their offensive capabilities that are failing them. DeRozan and Lavine were too hot for the Raptors and will once again show up for their team here, the Bulls are the underdogs to back.

15 April 03:30 Minnesota Timberwolves v Oklahoma City Thunder

This is the final play-in game and this should be an entertaining one with the over being the best bet. Both teams are top ten when it comes to pace with OKC ranking 3rd and the Timberwolves ranking 10th. During the regular season, the Thunder were averaging 117.5 ppg and Minnesota were averaging 115.8 points per game. Neither side made it in the top 10 when it came to defense and both allowed +115 ppg. OKC are a good underdog and they are going to push Minnesota here and bring the over.
