Friday, April 7, 2023

New Orleans Pelicans vs New York Knicks

Odds: NOP: 60.1% | NYK: 39.9% Our models favor the Pelicans in this matchup as a high value bet, especially since the Knicks will be down a few key players. Furthermore, New Orleans has real postseason implications on the line as the end of the season approaches.  Although they’re still without Zion Williamson, the Pelicans still have enough talent to beat anyone in the NBA when playing well. Keep an eye on Brandon Ingram in this one as someone who can put New Orleans over the top.

Washington Wizards vs Miami Heat

Odds: WAS: 40.7% | MIA: 59.3% This late in the season, many games are extremely hard to predict with how many players sitting out. That’s also the case in this matchup between the Heat and Wizards, as both squads will be playing without their primary starters. With that in mind, ProFitX models still favor Miami, especially considering some of the Heat’s role players are of better quality. the Wizards are once again headed to the lottery, where they’ll look to keep improving their roster. 

Sacramento Kings vs Golden State Warriors

Odds: SAC: 46.7% | GSW: 53.3% Our models lean towards the Warriors winning over the Kings today, which is likely for two primary reasons. For starters, both De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis will miss this game since the Kings are essentially locked into their postseason positioning. Furthermore, the Warriors still have a ton to play for and will be eager to get a victory today. Golden State will play its full rotation in effort to beat Sacramento, naturally giving a huge advantage. Active rosters and desire to could be the difference in this matchup today.
